[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr. Turbofan:
My

I think my phone hates me.

So, I gt cwm 3.1.0.1 installed and did exactly as you said, except to simplify things I left the journaling off. Wiped everything 3 times then flashed the rom then the kernel (used twilight zone kernel...) . It boots to the samsung screen, then goes black. Capacitive buttons stay lit, screen stays black, nothing happens. Requires ODIN after that.

Am I doing something wrong? This is getting OLD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Don't skip the journal on zip. You may have diffuculty without it. You can get force closes and data corruption. Wipe data<system, cache, and Dalvik 3x, flash ROM, flash journal on zip, flash kernel and reboot. If it hangs while booting, reflash the ROM with no wipes and journal on zip again and boot. The kernel shouls stick with no wipe

Are you on EXT4? Previous CWM versions automatically flashed you to EXT4 after root and boot. 3.1.0.1 does not do this. You must flash the RFS to EXT4 zip after rooting and installing CWM 3.1.0.1, then install ROM and kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr. Turbofan:
Good question.

When I ODIN I flash a stock EC05 rom. I then root with the one click root method flashing CWM 3.0.2.5. I then flash the 3.1.0.1 CWM update. After rebooting system, I boot back into recovery andwipe everything 3x, flash rom and then kernel. Will this method have my system in the appropriate file mode?

If so, I may try the suggestion above. Thanks for your help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] magoo5289:
Yup sounds like an rfs to ext4 issue to me as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
This method works. The rom auto converts your filesystem to ext4

Ugh :( want 1.3 bad. Phone is force closing google framework all of the sudden 902389084903 times. Don't want to wipe now and wipe again when the new version comes out.

BTW what is the best way to backup everyyytthinnggg before a wipe and version upgrade
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
If I recall correctly, you can fix the force closes by going into settings > application and wiping the data(Which will clear the cache as well). Also, for me, I use titanium backup to backup all my apps, back up my contacts with the option to export in contacts, and use appbrain to save a list of my apps just in case something happens to Titanium. You could always do a complete backup in CWM and and do an advanced restore on data only after you flash the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Bad post. Didn't have the page refreshed. What i was commenting on has been resolved apparently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr. Turbofan:
That's what I had understood. Any idea why my phone still won't boot after following that exact procedure?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
Either TB or MBP will restore the data, however, I always had massive FC afterwards and just decided to start fresh (with all SMS stored via SMSBackup+ in Google in case I needed to go back and look for something).

I use the following:

ShareMyApps - make a list of ALL installed apps including URL info

SMSBackup+ - backup ALL text and picture (SMS & MMS) to Gmail

Titanium Backup Root (TBR) - back up ALL data and apps

My Backup Pro (MBP) - back up ALL data and apps

nandroid backup - via CWM

The last 3 are probably overkill but at least I'll have something retained somewhere in case it's needed!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
@TurboFan - I know the first time I flashed a ROM (which happened to be an earlier version of an ACS ROM) I had to flash it twice. I believe it was mentioned before, but before starting everything over again, if you get it to where it won't boot, just pull the battery, boot into CWM, and reflash to ROM without wiping anything, just simply reflash it.

Then reboot your phone and see if it works. Why it was this way, I have no idea, but it worked for me and for many others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr. Turbofan:
I know I tried that, but I'm not sure if I flashed just the rom when reflashing or if I actually flashed the kernel as well. I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks for the tip, ill let y'all know if it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lifeofbean:
Well, after a few months of playing with other ROMs (including many Gingerbread roms), I'm back to SRF.

I really want Gingerbread, but until Samsung/Sprint fix the random reboots, I'm back to Froyo ROMs. And SRF is the best Froyo ROM (like you guys didn't know this already...)

Though I made the mistake of trying to do a full restore from Titanium Backup, not realizing it would try to restore some system apps. Turns out GB system apps don't play nice with Froyo system apps, d'oh!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Flash Genocide kernel 2.0 I think it's the best kernel for SRF 1.2!! :)

& flash the journaling on zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] kidFromBigD:
+1

Just had to add my $.02 here - I've been running Syndicate for about a month, with gmail, Yahoo! and a very active Exchange account through work synchronizing in realtime. Typically I browse and take a few calls during the day, and I cannot imagine the 1.3 ROM being any better than the current 1.2 release. Battery life has been great - it's about 50% by the time I get back home, no overclocking and no Juice Defender. The desktop clock wakes me up in the morning every weekday, had very few FC's, and no resets that I could detect.

I'm a reformed flashing freak from my WinMo days, but unless there's a compelling reason to move, I'm staying with Syndicate 1.2 until I get a different device.

Major kudos to the devs! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That's great to hear that 1.2 has been working so well for you. That's why its taking a while for 1.3. Its hard to improve a ROM that works so great
[Epic 4G Android Development] jamespweb1503:
well, i flashed this the other day coming from EC05, and it stayed at the samsung screen. Somehow, after reflashing and reflashing kernels, I booted. Now it was fine, battery was pretty horrible, then i rebooted, and i went from 96 to 35 percent. Now i'm afraid of overcharging my battery... is there any other rock solid, fast rom out there? How can i fix mine?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slow5Ohh:
Did you wipe everything 3x before flashing the rom, immediately followed by the kernel? Did you flash the journaling on zip?

You just need to recalibrate your battery. People have a couple different ways. I just keep it on the charger with the phone on until the light turns blue. Unplug it, turn phone off, plug it back in, and wait until the light turns blue again. Since the phone is off, boot right into clockwork, and wipe the battery stats. Reboot phone and you're good to go.

Syndicate Frozen for the Epic 4G Touch?

Coming from the OG Epic 4g using Syndicate Frozen 1.2 I was wondering if the ACS Team is working on a Syndicate ROM for the Epic 4G Touch? I hope so because that rom is da **** fo' real. I can see donations a plenty. That was my favorite rom since its inception.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Go post in the et4g this og forums
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I doubt it would be ported but I may be wrong. I suspect there will be a great new ACS ROM at some point in the future
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Hey guys why is it that every time I try to set a notification sound or ringtone from any app or settings I get a force close?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jackalo:
I've had that issue before with various ROM's. I was able to fix the issue in all situations by flashing the ROM again. Sometimes I had to clear the data, sometimes I didn't. Hopefully it'll work for you, too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pacorocko:
gmail fc

Ok. Here's a new one for me. Been running this ROM for months, but not sure how long this has been going on, just noticed it recently. Anytime I try to send an email via the Gmail app, i get a force close. I've tried clearing cache and data under manage apps. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gmail (ver 2.3.5). But everytime I go back in, compose a random email, and hit send, it FC's again.

I don't have any other issues with this ROM, and I receive mail all the time with no problem. I can browse thru all my labels/folders with no problem as well. The only issue is sending.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
Go some sort of notification that said my su binary needed updating. When I update it failed and said to update the rom. Any suggestions about what this is/means and how to fix it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Which kernel are you using with the ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdbc:
I also had the same issue, and solved it in the same manner.

I've also had this issue before. Reflash the rom, no wipes (unless you feel like doing dalvik), and wipe email/gmail data & cache. At least that's what worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] altimuh:
By any chance are you running Superfreeze, or freezing DRM? I defrosted it, rebooted the phone, and set my notification (with no hang or force close), then froze drm again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I'm a developer.

When I try to push my apps to my phone via a USB cable, the apps never get moved over with this ROM.

Both /system/bin/pm and /system/bin/am are broken.

To the top of both of these, please add: #!/system/bin/sh
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nubia:
i am experiencing horrible battery life with this rom, even after calibrating it. I'm using the Voodoo kernel but its the 2.0 version. Does that have anything to do with it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Voodoo Kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nubia:
Sorry, i meant Genocide Kernel 2.0. My phone charges completely and has a blue light, but when I unplug it, the battery says 98. It then drains down rapidly from just texting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Safety thing, don't worry about it, it's supposed to do that.

Search for 'bump charge' and you'll learn WAY more than you really ever need to.

On to 'rapidly'. Define rapidly. Having your screen on for an extended period of time will drain the battery pretty quickly. It's probably the #1 source of battery consumption.

You may have other issues going on, and if that's the case, go get 'Spare Parts' from the market and you can see what is eating away at your battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
This. Also try calibrating your battery
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
Im on twilight zone v1.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
Sorry I meant to quote before posting before. I am current running the twilight zone v1.1 with this rom.

Did this ever get posted somewhere? I'm now needing that fix as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] houkah:
I saw trickee ask this question but nobody really answered him, and i'm having the same problem.

My cell standby is about double my actual uptime. ie. if my phone has been off the charger (after full charge) for 2 hours my cell standby is like 3 hours and 40 minutes. Is this some weird manifestation of the TWS bug?

Other than that, thanks for the great rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ultro:
An issue I have noticed a couple times started happening a week ago or so. Phone goes completely silent out of the blue. System, media, notification, alarms, feedback all mute. If I receive or make a phone call, I cannot hear the tone/ring and when I am connected, I cannot hear the person talking. A reboot has always solved this. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay question. Does anyone else use Pandora Radio with this ROM? Seems like since I've installed it, it will play one song and after that I have to reunlock the home screen and sign back in to play the next song. Never had this issue with the stock ROM, is there a fix/work around? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I have been having the same issue, only thing that brings it nack is restore, it sucks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Also a side issue I have been having. When trying to update facebook it will boot me out of the browser after I type three letters in the status update screen. Does it on stock browser and on dolphin browser. Is this a known glitch?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Syst3m Deadlock:
I've been having this issue as well. At first, I just figured it was a bad flash, so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue.

This has happened to me before. I've since re-flashed, and started using Miren browser. Hasn't happened since, so maybe try that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I remeber something about this vaguely.

If you are trying to do custom ringtones, i think you need to push/move them to /system/media? Before it wont fc...

Had to be on the phone, not the sdcard.. Try that
[Epic 4G Android Development] jake0125:
I have been playing with some of the GB roms but nothing beats SFR 1.2! Is there a way to get swype from GB to run on the EC05? That is the biggest thing I appreciate and prob wouldnt even mess with GB if I could get this on 1.2 SFR. Thanks in advance! =)

Any update on how testing was going for 1.3, JC did you get a hold of it yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
So far, so good has been the report the last few days. Cleaning the tires and polishing the chrome for showcase and all.

Best reviews have to do with battery life and speed. I have yet to play. Was busy toying with the new Twilight Zone Kernel for a bit.

I don't have my epic just got a nexus but this rom sfr 1.2 is GREAT HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST if the epic would of had gingerbread I would of never got the nexus! Don't get me wrong I'm in love with my Nexus :) but the epic got a few things I wish the nexus had like better camera, better video playback, more memory & games play a little better on the epic when the epic gets gingerbread & gets cm7 & miui fully functional people who still got the epic are going to be happy they stuck it out!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
So I'm back to square one. I have reflashed the ROM and still have the same issues with the internet. When I update facebook after three letters it closes the browser back to home screen. And it's not an FC either, it's just a boot back to home screen. Done it the first time I flashed, so I wiped everything and tried again with a fresh flash, and does the same thing still. I dig this ROM but if this issue persists I may have to go to another ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
i use dolphin web browser. the stock browser was too glitchy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Tried Dolphin too and it does the same thing. No FC just boots back to the home screen after typing two or three letters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
Opera mobile ftw :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
I tired another ROM, the ASOP, and it did the same thing???? What the hell? I've wiped the data, cache, and dalvik everytime! I can't figure this out. I may have to Odin back to stock and start over. This is getting annoying. I will try one last time with Opera though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Testing is going great. I am not going to talk about any new features but there are several of them. I am only posting this so you know that there is indeed major progress on 1.3. This is something that is going to be tested and tested again because its not an upgrade to 1.2. There is some cool new stuff coming in this release...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay, so Opera works with facebook, but I think cause it's the older version of facebook on the browser? Which is odd, cause the new facebook via browser works fine on my Photon. So I don't understand why it doesn't work on the Epic? Hopefully someone has an idea other than having to use Opera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jin5:
I started to get random process.android.market.vending fc's after using this rom for 2 weeks so I wiped data/cache and did a clean install. that same fc is slowly coming back even though I don't have many apps installed after the install.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
qbking is correct in his response (no surprise, he knows his stuff), but I thought it would be good to clarify one point - no rom is based off of any modem, in fact the modem is independent of the rom in ALL cases (except, of course, that both the rom and modem must be compatible with your phone - this should go without saying, but some people still try, lol)

Some modems have been shown to work better than others, and none have so far been 100% proven to be the best for everyone (your mileage may vary). But any rom will work with any working modem, unless the rom developer does something unusual that causes an incompatibility... I haven't heard of such a case, but it is possible, though unlikely (in my opinion).
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
I will give Miren a shot. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Nope Miren does the same thing. Happened on the ASOP ROM too. So it doesn't seem to be ROM specific. Would it help if I flash back to stock then reflash the ROM. I am at a loss with this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
On a side note. This wasn't an issue when I first flashed the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] corythug:
Woa with the triple post bud, good luck but next time use the edit feature ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Same thing happened to me do you have a theme on SRF 1.2? Or is it just SRF 1.2? I had honeycomb fusion v 1.1 with miren browser & everything was good after! Try it out you ain't got nothing to lose or you can odin back & start fresh!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
I am on the fully loaded 1.2 without a theme. Is the honeycomb 1.1 in the dev section. Sorry about the tree posts. On my phone and didn't edit. Lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
No its in the themes section & you should try the standard version of SRF1.2

Its smaller than fully loaded version with no bloat!! download it & honeycomb fusion 1.1 theme for EC05 make sure its for ec05 cuz he has one for EH17 & that's not for Syndicate Rom!! If you need help PM me & I'll help you out! :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Remember after you flash the rom you got to flash a kernel right after then reboot once it powered on shut it back off do the 3 finger salute boot into cwm then you got to wipe cache partion 3x then go to advance & wipe dalvik cache. 3x

Find honeycomb fusion & flash it when its done hit back. Key & reboot enjoy!! :)

Okay, so I'm at a loss. Is there any way to use a different modem with this ROM? I'm starting to seriously wonder if this issue isn't with the EC05 Modem. I've flashed and reflashed this ROM, stock, and same issue. I prefer this ROM, so if someone can answer if any ROM will work, I'll try that. Thanks again!
