My own fault, but I'm going to have to wipe and start fresh this weekend.

I tried installing one of my favorite apps [PhoneWeaver] after there was an update. As it did before, it caused my battery to drain at an alarming rate. I uninstalled after a day, but also as before, it continued after it was uninstalled- I'm pretty sure it's because it alters some settings that don't get changed back, but I don't know what they are. :( I then flashed P2.1 again without wiping. It seems to have fixed the crappy battery, but I'm still getting all sorts of freezes and buggy behavior. And I didn't do a proper backup immediately before trying Phoneweaver... soooooo.

FYI, Phoneweaver is a great app that works well on my EVO and every other phone I've used previously. But it really messes up my EPIC. Not only does the battery lose charge quickly, but BT & WiFi become almost unusable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Have you tried Llama?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
I know you all are some battery freaks so I thought I would point out something I found draining mine. A recent Facebook update made it start polling the GPS every time it updated your feed. Normally I disable updates and notifications in Facebook but I had just flashed and forgot. I was seeing my GPS icon flashing randomly when I wasn't even doing anything. Spare parts confirmed Facebook was using the GPS like crazy and my battery was terrible. This is making Facebook app a terrible thing. I can imagine it is killing many peoples battery out there and they don't know why. Set it to auto update never and disable notifications seems to fix it. You guys probably all do this anyway but if you have friends or family complaining of their battery suddenly going to crap that is probably why. You can be a hero and fix it for them.

First off.. Awesome ROM!!.. I love it. I've been getting better battery life, not to metion compliments for having a sick setup [thanks to you bro] :cool: I do have one question, it isn't a huge deal at all but does the Home screen backround normally not shift as you swipe left to right? I could just be an tired idiot & Its probably listed in the details, but figured Id ask.. either way thanks for a sick rom man
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Menu, preferences, appearance settings, unchecked disable wallpaper scrolling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j7jman:
Haha.. thanks, :D I knew I was just really tired and missing the obvious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Osirus71:
Hey fellas, Im gonna update my buddies phone. The last rom i put on his Epic 4G is Synergy. Hes not getting the best battery life. Hows the battery life on this Rom??? Hes not too flashy, so if you know of a Rom that has great battery life please let me know.

Any and all information is appreciated.....

Thanks,

battery charging issue

hi 1st thankyou for you hard work, every thing work good.but i don't know why my battery allway stop charging at 98%.and The 'battery full' popup ????
[Epic 4G Android Development] lorenza:
There are many many postings about the battery charge indicator. Long story short...It's normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myaepic1:
My phone setup for this week is... ec05 (eh17 modem) PHOENIX ROM, nubernel kernel, revolted theme, & go launcher. So far, soooooo good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myaepic1:
Hey...I noticed that too, but I didn't think anything of it until I just read your post and realized it's not just me. I had to bump charge to get it to 100. I thought it was either just my battery or kernel. Hey, what kernel are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tizocalamilla:
ok guys something WEIRD just happened to me~!!!! ok so my phone has been on all day and working fine... i get home bout 2hours ago make a 30minute phone call then put my phone down so i can play battlefield 3... then just now i turn off the game and get on my phone to watch sum YouTube right... heres the problem, when i unlock the phone i get like ten Force Close windows! so i restart my phone and still force closing everything i try to open... so i notice that my Lookout isnt running in the background any more so i put the phone on airplane mode to cut off all data and try to open the lookout app but it keeps closing on me... and wierd thing is that im not getting a force close window like the other apps give me... it just closes on me!!! any thoughts? i think i got a virus but i dont know how iff i havent downloaded anything since i installed this rom a week ago... maybe its all that stuff going on with dolphin browser lately, or maybe a VIRUS!!!:eek::eek::eek: any thoughts on this please let me know what you think thank youssssss's
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
I doubt this is an virus bud. It sounds like there might be a glitch in your framework. It's been known to happen with other devices. It can be a bad root. It can be a bad download. Maybe the rom hasn't settled in with the phone. I suggest you redownload and reflash then see what happens. Check the framework if necessary. Question??? What exactly was force closing???
[Epic 4G Android Development] tizocalamilla:
Hmmm let me think one was .application another was facebook and youtube and after that I just stop reading them and just started pushing the button on the force close windows (aggrivating):mad: I just wiped it and did a fresh install... seems to be working "FOR NOW"...only time will tell
[Epic 4G Android Development] myaepic1:
When this happened to me, turning journaling off and cleaning app data resolved it. I think I was on a different rom though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartboy36:
Cool then sometimes I wipe like 5 times. Everything. Data. Dalvik. Even battery stats. Hope it works man
[Epic 4G Android Development] FalloutMan:
I downloaded and flashed this rom today but after a flash the setup crashes then it goes to a black screen but has the status bar at the top. Its as if the home launcher never loads and none of the buttons bring up menus or anything except for the Power button which brings up the power menu. If I restart the phone it hangs at the loader with the android guy, I've let it hang there for about 20 minutes before pulling the battery and trying again. Im running the EC05 modem and using the newest (purple) oneclick. Right now I odined to the stock ec05 rom and trying to find a solution. I searched this thread and the rest of the forums but haven't seen anything similar. When I flash I clear the cache and dalvik cache every time but do it in this order: cache<dalvik cache< wipe reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iTbagdUrMac:
Just wanted to say Thank You for this great setup! No offence to the other devs but, this has been the best for my Epic. I have even had quite a few gravity induced battery pulls and the Epic is just as perfect as when I flashed. WTG RK.

Epically posted using the xda app
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I tried a few EH17 roms, including ThunderHawk and I'm back on this one again. Just can't beat the stability and battery miser qualities.

That said, I'm having some strange issues that I haven't had before. I'm thinking it was just a bad flash.

I can't get a Google+ widget onto a home screen.

Google+ keeps giving me FCs- even when it's not being used. I've uninstalled and reinstalled at least 4 times.

I couldn't install Facebook using the market. I had to restore it with MyBackupRoot.

Dolphin HD browser is also hanging. I had to install it three times.

The one major change to the regular setup is that I tried the new nubernel kernel. I just went back to Genocide2.0 to give that a try and see if it fixes the above craziness before I wipe/flash for the weekend.

I'm also downloading Serenicity. But I'll do a backup before I try that one.:D

UPDATE: Seems that getting off of that kernel has fixed everything of importance. Still no Google+ widget, but that's it.

I've been having some Gmail sync issues lately, haven't been getting push notifications. Is there a certain service or something I should ensure is running? Any other ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bizz08:
Ok I'm not sure what I did wrong but my email application started force closing on me recently. I tried clearing data but it would just force close on me after pressing clear, I've just deleted the email.apk from my phone, does anyone have the default email.apk available? Or know where I may redownload it? TIA! Awesome rom btw! I use it as my daily driver although I do have some weird battery issues sometimes but thats a minor issue imo
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Btw, I've been using GoLauncher and just started using GoLocker- their lockcreen app. I like it a lot. A few bugs, but nothing major. One thing that would help would be having the ability to disable the stock lock screen. Is this possible?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
Thanks for the update RandomKing, downloading it now, will report back any issues I run into.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ivcesar:
I had the same problem so this what I did.

Steps

1.odin back to stock(using lates odin)

2.re root.

3 try updating to acs lates recovery it comes with great pretheme and pre rom options which are for installing.

4. Flash this great rom.

5. Jump around an dance like its 1999 :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Quick question- don't know if it's a mod-able thing or if it's part of the ROM.

When I hold the PWR and get the options to reboot, shut down, etc., is there a way to have one of the options (maybe a sub-option) be Reboot into RECOVERY?

I have had this on other devices and it's a nice option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ivcesar:
I have a question would you upgrade this to gb when it officially come out ? I hope you this has been the best rom I've seen
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Sure thing! Here! I made this just for you! It has almost all of the same apps, all of the same and more features, and a nearly identical theme! I even made it based on two different GB leaks so you can test which one will work the best for you... with a full and lite version each! That's 4 Gingerbread roms! They even use an official based kernel!

I hope you like them!

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I saw that coming.:eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] ivcesar:
my o my :) one question the launcher you have in this rom is it possible to get into the gb?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
It's launcher pro, so yes, you can pull it from the market if the rom you're using doesn't have it.. it's just skinned/themed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
He's quite right. And it is nearly identical in ThunderHawk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lifeofbean:
So I just sold my Epic (well, traded it plus some cash for a Nexus S 4G), and it had Phoenix on it.

Noticed something a bit... annoying. After entering the new MSID and phone #, the phone rebooted and tried to start the activation wizard. Which promptly force closed.

I tried formatting/reflashing, same thing. I had to reflash on top of that to get it past the activation wizard, and force a manual profile update to get it working properly.

Aside from that, I've loved Phoenix. Now it's off to root and hack away at my Nexus S :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] ivcesar:
Sweet thanks I bit of a noob lol, one more question will they work on ei22? Or its going to get a whole. Different update to it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
ThunderHawk 3.0 with EI22 is already under construction, with the Volume hack and Hotspot hack updated and built in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myaepic1:
I tried EI22 but had to go back to EC05 bc this Phoenix rom is so nice. Can't wait for the update.

[Edit: Waiting for your EI22 version, that is.]
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Uploading right now. Beta version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
RandomROM Phoenix Final

The end of EC05 is here. With EI22 comes the uphill climb of Epic development once again. This means that the journey of RandomROM Phoenix ends here. I will be uploading one final version with some minor tweaks, updater-script, build.prop, and archive updates. Mostly it will just be some perfectionist adjustments before I declare it finished. From this point on, I will be focusing my attention on Gingerbread roms for the Epic 4G. As many of you know, EI22 may still not be the final official Gingerbread (recall DK28, EB13, EC05?). As such, it is just too much effort to focus on so many versions of Gingerbread while dragging Froyo along with it.

For those of you still hesitant towards climbing out of your comfy, cozy Froyo cave, let me assure you that Gingerbread is greatly improved over EC05. It comes with battery improvements, interface enhancements, smoother performance, and just some great changes overall. The only drawbacks up until this point have been random reboots and Google Framework FCs which thus far seem to be solved with our new source-code. With that, it can only improve from here, leaving Froyo to go the way of Eclair.

It's a little bit sad, as RandomROM started on Froyo with the original RandomROM, then Final, then Plus, then Phoenix, and then Phoenix 2 and the original AIO mod. But this time, Final is Final.

If EI22 proves to be as stable as we all hope it to be, then ThunderHawk 3 will be the foreseeable future of RandomROM on the Epic 4G, leaving behind EG22 and EH17 versions. Pushing 8 rom .zips for one phone to the internet was a huge undertaking on my part to provide all current possibilities, and it was fun, but it's time to refocus.

As far as Serenicity, the EC05 version of that will likely also be discontinued as a Gingerbread version is solely pursued in its stead.

I will continue to support my Froyo creations as best I can for dedicated downloaders.

Thank you for your patronage and please enjoy ThunderHawk. :D

Happy Veteran's Day!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
One more time!

It turns out I couldn't help myself. As Gingerbread grows in support on our phone (officially and unofficially), Froyo becomes the distant past much like Eclair did. However, many users seemingly still hold on to the old ways, and with good reason. Functionality wise, there is little available on Gingerbread that is not also available on Froyo.

As such, my wife and mother-in-law are distrustful of the new system. I also admit that on occasion I as well revert to Froyo out of stability. So it is for these reasons, that I will shortly present Phoenix II. If you're wondering "Why the roman numeral?", it's because there will be no more revisions. That's it. It's done.

So what am I giving you? I'll be honest, not a heck of a lot :rolleyes:. A revamped installer script. Several app updates. I've finally tweaked the phone app so that the contacts button isn't obnoxiously different, although it's not perfect, but I'm not a full-time themer. I've brought the pull-down menu of ThunderHawk to Phoenix to make the experiences feel truly similar, as well as a new custom hotspot icon and adjustments to the Settings app. I also present a Sprint Carrier patch for those of you that need it for Sprint NFL or whatever.

That's mainly it, the main goal of this was to bring Phoenix more in line with ThunderHawk and polish it one last time.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the latest and greatest Swype!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nole4ever:
Came back to Phoenix after a week with Thunderhawk. Random reboots and phone freeze started to get annoying. I know those issues are common in all gingerbread roms.

Updated to Phoenix II. Its working flawless. Great job once again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
There's not much more I know to do for Froyo, but I figured i'd give Phoenix one final polishing.... ;-).

The color combination of the way this rom is themed is probably one of the best I've seen. With all the problems gingerbread is having ill probably go back to this. Thanks for updating randomking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] garyf:
Is it at all possible to install this or any EC05 rom onto an MTD system without ODIN?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
No, there isn't an EC05 kernel that supports MTD.

Then added to the credits they shall be!

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
For the record, I included the sqlite mod due to popularity... But I believe it inflates the benchmark score slightly ;). But it's just a number, so if you're happy I'm happy!

Glad you like it!

Hi, I am giving your rom a try. Did you have this posted somewhere else? I see the changlog goes back to may and this thread is 1 day old. Just curious. Also thanks for great "Varying Apps".

So the rom has wireless tether(green) and wifi tether(yellow). Any reason to have the old green one on there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It was posted to androidcentral, as well as privately shared with some users here over the last month. I myself use this primarily, in between flashing other new roms, and the changelog reflects the various modifications and app changes I've experimented with to some successes and failures. The final version contains all stable apps and services themed/suited to my design.

The old wifi tether (green) is more stable. But the new one can be more useful if you can make it work, make sure 4G is off before you turn it on.

EDIT: There were 237 downloads of the previous versions, for the record.

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
I really love everything this ROM is presenting. Exactly what I've been looking for. However, I'm having some performance issues. Not sure if its ROM related or not. After coming from a clean stock ROM of EB13, then moving up to EC05, with a recently formatted SD card just in case, wiping all data before the ROM install, I run into sluggish performance with my phone. It tends to last for like 10-15 minutes then starts going smooth. This is a new experience. Any thoughts?

Edit: Happens every time I reset my phone. Gets real sluggish after reboot. Have tried reflashing, fixing permissions, switching between ROMs properly, and messing with voltage controls to see if a difference is found. No luck. Would like to keep a battery sipping ROM since I've had terrible battery life since day 1. Could just be my phone reaching it's last leg...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Wow, this is the first time I remember a dev being honest about benchmark tweaks. Once again, you did a good job on this ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] f16pilot:
Random,

So far, everything is working perfectly. I have one small glitch, whenever I send a text message, it displays "sending," but never updates to the sent date/time below the text message. It appears as though the message has actually been sent however. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
This happens for me too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Are you using the task killer by any chance?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmusa06:
thank you for this rom sir..

will try ASAP :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
I did tap the widget earlier in the day.

Edit: I rebooted and sent a text right away and the time and date came up.

also might be relevant: I was getting some force closes but now that i have rebooted and not ran the task killer the problems are gone. xda app fc'ed also the wireless tether app fc'ed. No problems now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Just as a reference, if you're going to use the task killer, opn it once and check that no major android service is about to be closed. They shoullld be in the ignore list. You only want it to close your apps, nothing more.

[Epic 4G Android Development] anderson620:
I've really been enjoying this ROM the last couple of days but I just ran into my first glitch. My battery was at 42% at 11 pm after some light usage and being pulled off of the charger fully charged at 5:30 pm. I rebooted my phone and when it came back on the battery is now reading 8%. I restarted after a full shutdown and am still showing 8%. As soon as I loaded this ROM I performed a full charge/ battery stat wipe/full discharge/ full charge. This is the first time I've noticed anything of the sort.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Noel2255:
Mine does this all the time -.- I thought I was the only one.

My phone starts acting up like not sending messages and then I reboot it and it has like 30% battery less then it did before.

Strange. I posted last night (about the battery) and here 7 hours later I wake up and the battery is still at 8%. I'm sure normally it would have lost the much overnight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
The only issue I am having with this rom is that it won't connect to my home wifi network. It site on the obtaining ib address step for a long time then doesn't connect. Other than that this rom has been having the best battery life for me since the éclair epic experience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maxertx:
I had this issue..is it WPA you can't connect to? Did tou try WEP and even open to see? That is what I was seeing. Also did u flash clean stock to this ROM or did u flash over from another ROM? I had to start clean and then this ROM and now I can connect to WPA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anderson620:
Just as an update for anyone with battery reading strangeness; I didn't charge my phone last night so when I woke up at 6 it still showed 8%. Now it is 11:45 a.m. and I'm still at 8%. Which, technically, is really good considering I unplugged it yesterday at 5:30 pm. If my math is right that's just over 18 hours off of the charger, although I don't know how much battery is left.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Probably just need to clear your battery stats in CWM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anderson620:
I actually did that when I installed the ROM but I only mentioned it because it seems like someone else was having the same problem earlier in the thread. For what it's worth, I can't complain about the battery life. I'm going on 24 hours and it hasn't shut off yet, working battery meter or not.
