I've been using this ROM for weeks now. I love it except the random reboots (which drain the battery a lot when they happen)

But now I've been having tons of Google Framework FC's...like ALL the time. Just out of the blue too since I didn't mess with it, I didn't install anything new.

Should I wipe 3x and reinstall the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] akosidarwin:
same thing happen to me, don't really know what to do so i just switched to Phoenix
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I haven't pinned down the Google Framework FC's, perhaps it's that stupid Google Talk w/Video I tried to include? I can't be sure as I haven't used it or any other google service myself.

As for the random reboots, no-one has fixed this yet and the newer leaks seem to be even worse(thus why I've wasted no effort on them). However, check out this thread. With this script installed, my ram leakage is drastically reduced. I usually change out batteries before my ram ever reaches the reboot threshold.

Just note, although it doesn't happen for me, the ram does continuously disappear just the same. While I'm not having problems with random reboots, this ram script is only an aid, not a full solution.

Let me know how it works for you.

Something to try if your getting reboots often

First off, absolutely the best Gingerbread rom out there.

I had a lot of issues with this rom rebooting initially (as many people have been complaining). I found some things that I would like to see other people try and let me know if they help at all. I went from having reboots every couple hours to not having a single reboot in 3 days! The interface is ultra-snappy as well (had minor issues before with very occasional touchscreen lag).

Here are the steps I took to get there.

First, I did a complete wipe 3x and re-flashed. I did not restore any backup or anything like that after wipe. EVERYTHING is clean.

#1 - Menu>Preferences>Advanced Settings>Memory Usage Settings> Uncheck "Use homescreen caches" From post #2 of RandomKing.

#1.5 - Menu>Preferences>Go through each launcherpro setting under preferences and turn off anything that is "fancyschmancy".

#2 - Menu -> Settings -> Sound -> Uncheck EVERYTHING under feedback

#3 - Menu -> Settings -> Display -> Animation - No window or transition animations. Also, uncheck auto-rotate screen

#4 - Menu -> Settings -> Lockscreen -> General - Window and Transition animiations off. Also, uncheck all boxes except for compatibility mode.

#5 - Menu -> Settings -> Lockscreen -> Lockscreen Settings - Uncheck AOSP Music Controls

Note: I did NOT run the script that RandomKing suggested in post 2.

My battery life also improved drastically as I expected. It was good before, but now it's freakin' money. I've been talking to clients all day, texting, listening to tunes, and 8 hours later I'm chillin at 50%. Never pulled that off before.

My only suggestion for this amazing rom is as follows:

I would like to see every feature work right out of the box. For example, voice search. The dolphin browser is great, but it causes voice search to FC. Having to take time to go find the stock browser and install is a major pain in the butt. Having the ability to use voice search to me is a safety thing, especially if I'm driving etc. Dunno, just my 2 cents.

That's about it. Sick Rom Random King! Let me know if those 5.5 steps helps anyone hehe.

Cheers
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Just wiped 3x and flashed 2x

Performed the script thing RKing was talking about and all the steps unique2me listed above, except the auto-rotate screen. I kinda need that.

So we'll see how it goes :cool:

In the process of charging to 100% for a battery status wipe, then good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
RandomKing I had flashed this several weeks back and abandoned it after the framework fc and no matter what i did worked. I decided to give it another shot flashed rom then the journaled zip, then placed the Ram script. Then uninstalled the googletalk based on your intuition on previous post. Running four days not a single reboot and no fc or framework issues. Love how it responds everything is great. Awesome job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Just got 1 day and 1 hour out of the rom and at 19%. Unfortunately I got two reboots.

The script definitely made things quicker. No FC's. But two reboots is no fun.

^did you flash a journal off zip or on zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I flashed it journal on zip.

This is my 5th almost 6th day not a single issue no frameworks errors or reboots. I even got brave and installed the ACS dark clear see through Google+ app. Love the way it works.

This happened to me too a while back. I forgot how I fixed it but you might want to "clear data", install a new music player, or reflash the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
This ROM Rocks! I love your philosophy, keep up the great work! I'll buy you a beer when I get paid this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I did the exact same step I mentioned previously and flashed Hawk on another Epic excellent results 2 days everything perfect. Mine will be 7 days tomorrow not a single fc or reboot. Excellent Rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xbiker321:
Could you please give a step by step. Odin to what stock rom? What modem? Etc. It would be very helpful :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rompnit:
Signed up! Thanks for the killer ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
You don't have to Odin anything unless you are flashing a different modem. Just download the Rom zip to your SD card, I usually download those types of files on my computer through a hardwire connection just to make sure its a clean download. Then I just copy over to my SD card. I also downloaded the ram rewrite file that RandomKing suggested. Using CWM I wiped phone 3 times all factory reset, cache and delvik. Then I installed zip from SD card. Once it finished and booted clean. I went into root explorer and placed the ram control file in the proper folder. I redownloaded every app that I wanted fresh and clean did not restore any of them or any data to avoid any curroption. Using titanium backup I uninstalled the Google talk app which came with the Rom as this might be what is causing the Google frameworks error. On my phone I am using EH06 modem on wife's phone EG22 modem they both have great signal and instant GPS lock. I hope this helps and you get to enjoy Randomrom Hawk. You can search you tube qbking has a series of videos on using Odin to flash modems and using CWM purple to flash roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Coming soon:

A few changes including, full battery pop-up removed, some theme fixes like pulldown menu highlight, other slight theme tweaks, app changeup, google framework FC fix, some other possible fixes...

Also a virtually app-free Lite version for those more picky flashers.

Will also be including Juwe11's ram script to slow random reboots.

I clicked on the link and signed up but just FYI it didn't show anything to suggest that it added an additional gig of space to your account, hope it did its thing tho!...

Really looking forward to it!...quick question regarding your superfreeze mod, is there a way to freeze/disable the ANDROID SYSTEM(IQ AGENT SERVICE)?...I know you mention in your blog that removing the services/apps can create problems but could you please provide the rest of the command to pm disable that would disable IQ agent?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Teract:
I've been slowly re-installing apps and configuring my phone, with reboots in between changes. So far I'm finding that using the calender widget is a sure fire way to cause FCs.

He is probably still uploading it...sweet, can't wait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeerkahn:
just looked at the date of the release guess if I learned to read the post I wouldn't freak out. Thanks for pointing out my impatience. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
RomGeeks is down. Not sure why, odd timing though. Patiently waiting for it to work again. Version 3 is not actually uploaded yet, doing some final verification that all the changes I wanted are properly included.

v.3 and v.3 Lite will both be uploaded simultaneously. I believe the Lite version is about 25mb smaller.

Soon. Very soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeerkahn:
No worries, I was just going to DL v.2 again due to FC issues starting when I installed tapatalk for some reason. Saw that v.3 was "out" and didn't pay any attention to the date :). I can get by for a few hours due to technical concerns. Considering it's free, supported by you in your spare time, and one of the best roms I've used on the epic, being patient is the least I can do.

Thanks for the work on this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Appreciate the support.

Until the site is back up, here's the Google Cache link.
[Epic 4G Android Development] icevapor:
From .2 to .3 do we need to do a clean flash or can we just flash over the top?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Download links are now live for Version 3 and Version 3 Lite.

Clean install is recommended out of pure cleanliness but shouldn't be required.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Looks like v3 is up, downloading now! Thanks random

Edit: I guess I just checked at a good time...thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeerkahn:
Just DL and no force closes (which I received after cleaning my SD card, wiping and reflashing v.2 for some reason) So I'm liking the changes already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
What's the difference between the lite version and the other one? Or is it just the size of the file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeerkahn:
I believe that the lite has no apps installed where full has the apps listed in the first post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
RandomKing, I'm sorry for being off topic, but I'm very curious as to wether you're going to be going to the Epic Touch our not? I really like the work you've done and would feel more comfortable getting that phone knowing that you'll be developing there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:


Well I downloaded the regular one and uninstalled basically every app it came with cuz I didn't know the lite version was like that lol thank anyway

Stock Browser FC's

V.3 Update is looking good so far, I was ecstatic to see the stock browser returned and the ram script included, many many thanks. This rom is near perfect!

Haha HOWEVER, the bad news is that I am still getting FC's when trying to use the Stock Browser. The browser opens up but as soon as I press something on the screen, I immiediatly get an FC. I uninstalled both the Dolphin Browser and rebooted, still no luck.

The only reason I want to use the stock browser is because I use VOICE SEARCH when I'm traveling on the road and Voice search doesn't work with Dolphin.. Love everything else about the ROM, everything seems very stable.

Can anyone duplicate this? Any idea's?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSMI:
Is it okay to use the supercharger script even with the rom script?

Also is there a way to get the live wallpaper option back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Works fine for me. :confused:

No point, they do the same things, one will cancel the other out. Pick your favorite.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSMI:
Thx.

How about getting live wallpapers back?

I have hawk v3 all set up how I want it now with no random reboots yet. I have noticed my system ram hangs around 65-75 mb as opposed to around 100-110mb with hawk v2 and v6 supercharger installed. I did get 2-3 random android system reboots a day on average with my old setup. Nice work on all the new additions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
In the Dolphin HD browser, when you bring up the Swype keyboard, the microphone has a line through it and pressing it does nothing. In other words no voice input. This is using v2 with the latest Dolphin on the Market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I am going to try this the moment I get home from work. I am skeptical cause I got v.2 working so well after eliminating all fc and reboots. Wife phone is working like a charm also. But hey that's what we do move on and keep exploring lol v. 3 here we come.

Will report later on.. GREAT JOB on all your work

Edit: flashed the lite version. excellent job! Super stable. Was it the gtalk app causing the frameworks issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpartanVissepo:
I have a question does the aio mod is pre installed? By the way awesome job with the Rom, its so perfect that its scary ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:

hi, I just installed this rom and am playing around with it, but saw that you didn't include the gmail or gtalk app or the touchwiz music app? I tried searching, but i'm afraid I just may be an idiot....any help on this? Thanks!!

edit 2: ok so now i just need help on the google talk and music app....i tried installing it from the apps forum, but it didn't work :( I can't find google talk on this rom, am I just blind??

[Epic 4G Android Development] -SpeedofSound-:
First I would like to say...Thank You VERY MUCH for everything you do RandomKing and keep up the great work my friend!!

I just have a question...I am wondering when you will have the "red" version complete and up. I have been monitoring this thread since you first posted this ROM a while back and next to the red version it keeps saying "coming soon" yet I have not seen or heard anything. I have used this ROM and I love it, but I am a bit bored of the blue themes running around the forums on most ROM's and I am really wanting red....could you please update us on a time frame please sir....
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Indeed. They've been a continuing background effort. Unfortunately, I had them ready to go at one point, but after some major overhauls for the Hawk revision they no longer were compatible and sent me back to the drawing board. So far as I can tell, v.3 has no major issues anymore besides the ever present reboots and an apparently glitchy stock browser.

With this release, I am once again trying to put together a compatible red and a green theme. AIO compatible EG22 themes are rare... ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Google Services Framework FC may still not be solved... :(

UPDATE: If you receive a Google Services Framework FC, boot into CWM and choose Fix Permissions under Advanced. Although I'm still receiving one FC on boot, there seems to be no others or functionality loss after that. What a pain.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dtstech:
I found an app in the market that installs this for you...

by Brainwash Studio

[root] Talk 1.3 Installer

It works really well with this ROM. Check it out.

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

What I have been reading over at Google about it is it has something to do with syncing Calendars for some reason. Don't know much about it but after a clean install with ODIN or CWM as soon as you add your Google account turn off the sync to books, picasa, and calendars. I have been adding all my apps and running it just like I have before the framework and gapps started fc'ing on me. I haven't had any issues at this time since I did this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
That's what perplexes me. I never have sync on after my initial setup. Yet after several power cycles, the framework error pops up. I'm testing repeat-ability at the moment as far as this error. It could be the dialer or calendar from what I'm seeing, and G-Talk may be innocent :rolleyes:.

HOWEVER!

Here's the good news, a quick flash of RandomROM Lite over top of a Force Closing setup will fix it without losing data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dtstech:
That indeed is good news. I came back to the ROM from ERA. This is the best Gingerbread ROM atm in my opinion. Very good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Personally, I don't care if GTalk is innocent, the removal of GTalk is a HUGE plus imho, as it greatly reduces partial wakelocks associated with the GTalk app that occur even if you are not signed in. Also, v3 is by FAR the most stable GB rom I have run thus far. Thanks for giving me back my sanity, as I was going crazy trying to get my phone stable without returning back to 2.2.

As an aside, did I see that you are making the jump to the SGS II? If so, I'll see you on the other side on Friday!
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:
I flashed this rom last night. Then did the superfreeze in the terminal emulator (what is the difference betwen superfreeze ad superdefrost?). When I got up this morning and started playing "my country" ( I know guiltypleasure) the screen roze,I let it sit, then it rebooted. Any ideas, or are random reboots still to be exected?

On the flip side, I love everything you do with roms. I was on the 2.2 phoenix for a while, really great but I wanted gb so I am here to help you test it out and report any problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
Installed Hawk v3 last night after getting a lot of FC on other ROMs. No FC or Reboots yet, but knocking on wood :). Excellent ROM RandomKing!

[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Just installed this rom after trying Frozen, Olympus and Hurricane. Also lots of force closes.

This Rom seems cool. Flashed on top of Deodexed EH06. Ran SU Superfreeze command. Only issue was that on first boot LauncherPro force closed. I installed Go Launcher instead and uninstalled Launcher Pro.

JoeJunior - intuitiveness would say that SuperDefrost unfreezes the apps. But it may just make a link to the same file and eithr command may toggle between frozen and defrosted states.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dtstech:
My problems with the fc on Google Framework didn't begin until after the phone lost GPS during a trip to work today. It's really weird that after all I had done installing apps and messing around that it got funky after a Navigation instance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I found this rom to be the best GB Leak available.

I did go back to EC05 due to the reboots, but those are just a function of the leaks inability to handle memory properly.

The more items you have running (widgets, live wallpaper, fb sync, email, weather, etc) the faster the memory will drop below 100ish mb and you get a reboot, I made sure to reboot (on my own) my phone every morning and I would not get any unexpected reboots; but if I forgot to do it myself, then the phone would "help" and do one for me. Sometimes in the middle of a call.

For my money, this one is all that and a bag of chips!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
When I was receiving a text, my phone modem did a reset and came back, but then got a phone call and that person couldn't hear me. I did a reboot and it fixed that voice issue.

Just caught Adao showing 63mb free, that might be a problem. After reboot I get 165mb free. On EH17 I would get 102mb after some hours of use, but don't remember the mb free on boot. Anyways from 102mb to 63mb is a big drop and I am running the same apps as before.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
After I first installed it seemed like a great rom, then I saw your post so I decided to power off normally and reboot. I got tons of force closes, messaging, acore, email etc...

Perhaps it is related to flashing on top of an EH06 rom. I can try to odin an earlier rom to see if that helps. How is Phoenix? Is it more stable?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

I decided to try again. This time I wiped data and flashed the deodexed eg22 rom from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183558. Modem is still eh06 but might change that later.

Booted without the LauncherPro force close I got earlier and I decided to keep LP for now and hold off switching to GO.

I want to uninstall Amazon and Swipepad. Amazon always runs and it must eat battery.

By the way, I noticed the EF Explorer asked for root privledges. Does that mean it can read/write to the system/app directory?
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:
Thanks jmsnyc. I figured that's what it was I just don't know wht freezing or defrosting means. Can someone explain tha to me? Also yes, the phonix is a lot more stable. I came from it and if it weren't for this power down screen I would still be on it, idk what it is aout he crt power down screen
