Thanks that's exactly what I've been needing I used to always just take my chance and flash roms without making any wipes and hope it works

But I'm gonna try it right now and ill let you kno how itgoes
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
also make sure you have launcher pro or something...if u just have tw launcher it will get stuck at boot animation....learned from personal experience

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

and is the download link for the rom working for you? cuz its not for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
i have adw launcher

i found some old backups i had and i tried restoring them but they would get stuck right after the bootup ani

you think you know what that may be from?

im flashing this rom right now about to reboot ill let you know what will happen with this one

ok.. i just did the restore of data..

im getting the FC vibrations on the boot animation... i think its not working...

was data what i was suppose to restore?

yupp its stuck on boot up its not going anywhere
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
yea, just restore data...um im not sure why its stuck there....u have the right modem and everything? u on 2.2 already? did u also have adw launcher on that old backup that u restored?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
the first time it botted up normally then i went to cwm to restore data and ya it kept repeating the boot up ani.

so i went and did the wipes again and reflashed the rom now its working again and im using titanium to get my backups but still i wont have my texts and calls but its not bbig problem.

i am however running an eh17 modem not a froyo one

im having major problems trying to change my modem back to ec05 since my phone will not no matter what connect to my computer so i cant use odiin ive tried everything its just impossible but its running well now

i still would like to fix my usb problem i think im just gonna have to get it replaced
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
sorry dude, i wish i could have helped more, but every phone acts a little bit differently...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
its fine i understand that

and i took this opportunity to just try alot of other roms ive been wanting to see lol

nut thanks anyway ill remember that and maybe one day it will work with me or help me out
[Epic 4G Android Development] rotarant:
Thanks... I have been just using titanium to get my stuff loaded back... this seems like a much quicker and better option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] glenner444:
Just went 40 HOURS on one charge. Light usage, obviously (2 hours screen time, 40 minutes of calls) but still really impressive. Loving this rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm glad you like it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'm back to Phoenix for a bit also. Trying it with the EH17 modem.

Using the kernel that comes with this ROM- anyone having better experiences with different ones?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Vision Kernel is a personal favorite of mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] supasanch24:
Do you overclock with the vision kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Care to provide a link to the thread or download?

I've found a few, but none called or done by Vision.

Just flashed Genocide2 to see what happens.

Ah. I just found the VisionKernel thread. Unfortunately, it looks like it's dead. The OP hasn't been updated since May and the most recent download I can find is v1.1. 1.2 was "temporarily" removed and 1.3 seems to have never been posted.

Which one are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I linked a few on my blog site. Check under development>kernels. 1.1 is the one I use, unfortunately he gave up on a 1.3 and 1.2 was a failure of sorts.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
I've been having this issue with this ROM even before Phoenix..

I'll get,or make, a phone call and then the next incoming call will pop up on my screen. The ringtone will not go off but I can see someone is calling. I answer it and hear nothing. I then try to call them back, doesn't work. I then have to reboot the phone to call them back.

It's been doing this quite a bit lately and has happened to my friends phone as well. Everytime I install a ROM I do the same steps. Odin to stock. Wipe 3x, Flash ROM 2x.

Any ideas? I love this ROM and would hate to ditch it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
thats really weird u said that cuz i had the same exact thing happen twice this weekend and had to reboot both times. def some glitch unrelated to rom....probably would occur on stock too imo
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Have you tried a different modem to see if that makes any difference? I don't know that it would, but anythings worth a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Tried every modem. No dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
I stupidly had superuser set to automatically update. So it automatically updated and gave me this:

http://androidsu.com/

2) Binary updater fails to update binary – This usually happens because for Superuser can’t write to the system partition where the binary is installed. This can happen for a couple reasons. First, and most common, is that your device has S-ON which prevents the system partition from being written to at runtime. Even if a remount succeeds, and the system thinks that the partition is mounted as rw, you can’t write to it. There are different solutions for different devices, but the easiest usually involves simply updating Superuser through ROM Manager. If you were able to flash a custom ROM, you’ll be able to update Superuser through ROM Manager. The other reason that updating the binary fails is that your ROM Dev did something silly like putting the su binary in /sbin. I have not found a reason why this would be done, but I’ve seen it many times. The problem with putting su in /sbin is that even though you may be able to modify it at runtime, the changes will not stick over a reboot. This is because /sbin is part of boot.img, which gets unpacked and loaded at boot. The other problem with having the su binary there is that it’s almost always the first entry in the PATH. If you’re unfamiliar with the PATH, it’s a list of places that the system will look for a program, once it finds one it stops looking. Superuser will not try to update su if it’s found to be in /sbin because the change will not persist. The fix for this is not quite so easy as before and you’ll likely have to change ROM, and let the developer of whatever you were using know that they’re doing it wrong.​

I gave superuser a 1 star rating in the market because of this. What a pain in the ass.

Can anyone walk me through getting the old superuser installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vtphilk:
I am trying to figure that out as well. There is a 'superuser fix' on the market and I wonder if we can uninstall the superuser and install that one to fix it... I'm just afraid if I uninstall the superuser if I will lose root or something
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
The image he's referring to is not the rom, but the kernel. And it will overwrite the su binary on every boot. I'm attempting to find a workaround.

-Sent from my Random Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Is that necessary?

It seems to me that superuser had been working fine before. I'm not sure if there is any improvement, but I haven't seen any indication that there has been a security fix in the new app.

If someone can provide a link to down-install superuser back to the version that is compatible with this kernel, that's all we need as far as I can tell.

Superuser should not choke on an older copy of su though, because if I understand correctly, there are good reasons for su to be hard-baked into the kernel.

I ended up wiping and restoring with titanium backup. If I had just uninstalled the new superuser, would the system have restored or maintained its link to the previous version? If so, the solution to this problem is that simple.

I wiped because I assumed superuser had been overwritten by the new one and was not recoverable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
Had same problem this morning!!! it updated and stopped working right!! all u have to do is make sure auto-update is off then go into settings>applications>superuser and hit Uninstall Updates. Worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
I have had this problem on multiple roms before also. a reboot fixes it and i am not sure what causes it. I think it is because the phone has been on for so long something locks up in it...mine happened when my battery lasted for 3 days and right near the end of it the phone made no sounds :confused: anyways a simple reboot fixes it even though its annonying especially when its a business call :mad:
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Well I reviewed the change log and attempted to play around with it and have come to the conclusion that is entirely unnecessary for our phone. My vote is to ensure you uncheck the automatic update feature on Market and stick with the built-in one. I suppose I'll be adding this information to the Op.

Radio?

Recently switched back from EH17 rom. Liking everything except my phone went unresponsive while sitting idle today with all the soft touch keys lit up. I'm still on EH17 radio. Should I Odin an older radio? Not sure why my phone jacked up today...hopefully it's just because of the leaked radio. Any recommendations on radio version to use with this rom or does it matter?

So.. working on any updates..?.. if you do then can you please just change the dial pad a lil and make itt more blue lol? That would b really nice

I've been waiting a few weeks to get my hands on this ROM and try it out.

No CIQ + battery life = Win in my book

I see that the site, randomking.romgeeks.com is back up. Sweet.

Thanks, RandomKing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Saw some comments about this earlier... but not sure what the final opinion was...

I've started getting notifications that my SuperUser binary is out of date and that I should update to 3.0. I'm using 2.3.1 with no issues right now, other than the notification occasionally.

Is it a good idea to update or not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I'm downloading right noww =) lol

Just a quick question...

If I was to go in the rom's file and switch the "swype.apk" with another themed"swype.apk" would it work..? And also if I just added the stock music player?

I wouldn't have any problems..? Right..?

Hello RandomKing! Thank you for your roms! I've been waiting for an update to this so that I can flash back to one of your roms! Is the carrier name set to "Sprint" on this version of your rom? Also, I noticed my SU automatically updated and just like everyone else is reporting my binary could not be updated.

I made a mistake with that, the files installed are the wrong versions and meant for Gingerbread. When releasing 4 rom versions simultaneously entirely created and tested only by myself, I was bound to have a few hiccups. An update to all the latest versions of ThunderHawk and Phoenix will be coming today. Hopefully my site comes back online.

I also didn't fully install Polaris office in the Lite versions, forgot to add Talk to ThunderHawk, didn't update Wired Tether, fixed ES File Manager pre-root, and a few other things I straightened out...

Also, ThunderHawk will come with the Epic Touch's new email and its nice landscape mode! Unfortunately it's incompatible with Froyo, :(.

also happened to me 2 days ago...this has happened to me on other roms too, tho, so i'm not sure if it's rom-related.

Which Rom is the newest Phoenix 2.1 or Phoenix 2.2.1?

What's the difference between Phoenix 2.1 and Phoenix 2.2.1?

The newer one seems to be Phoenix V2.1 but I thought Phoenix V2.2.1 was the latest revision.

Which version has live wallpaper?

Currently running

RandonRom V2.2.1 Phoenix V.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9

EC05
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
You are mistaken. The 2.2.1 is the version of Android on which it is based. EC05 is the Samsung/Sprint version denomination. v2.1 is the RandomROM number. 2 being the second major revision under the Phoenix name, and .1 being an incremental update of minor changes.
