[Epic 4G Android Development] jsheahawk:
It's back up.

I have gone about a week on v4 with zero fcs. I still get a few random reboots a day, but I can live with that for everything else that comes with this rom. I feel confident enough to give it the "wife's phone test" now.

I was going well on this rom for a few days but it has now started force closing of the gapps framework . Any ideas of what might be the problem.

I havent been on XDA for a few days. Been hoping to come back to this thread and hear good news on stability of v4.

Ironically even on Phoenix I cant get away from the FCs. About 10 days since my last major crash and tonight I had to wipe data and nandroid back again. First the email.apk crashes, then google framework - cleared data on both, then after reboot everything was crashing. I know I mentioned this before but I have been using Go Launcher and a Calendar Widgit (Smooth Calendar). I suspect one might be the culprit. I also updated Ad Free from the market soon before the crashes started.

I can stick with Launcher Pro for a week but I really like the Calendar Widgit. I hope thats not the cause.

Interesting. I love Swype. But I noticed today that the voice-to-text function isn't working. I believe that I heard somewhere that it needs the stock browser to function, and I noticed that wasn't here.

Any chance we can get that browser included in the next update? Or maybe you have a way to get v2t working without it?

So far not one fc or reboot. I will keep you all posted.

Does this rom not support live wallpapers? I try to apply one but its not an option when I pull up the menu to change wallpaper

There is instructions for live wallpapers in the op, I forget what they are tho sorry.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
There is a way to get the voice functions (search, etc.) working, but you DO need to install the stock browser. Not sure why it's ever removed from the ROM's, even with a different browser cooked in. But, you'll have to find the "browser.apk", push it to system/apps, install it (You'll need to mount the directory first, I reccomend Root Explorer for this, seems to work well.), then after you install the stock browser, voice search works just like normal.

Opera Mobile says it supports voice search, but I haven't had any luck with that working, so I install the stock browser and all is well again.

To the ROM gods, is there any reason we remove the stock browser? Just wondering....
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
For simplicity and lack of use. Rest assured, I have a new revision for Phoenix and Hawk almost ready to go, Full and Lite versions. Full will have the stock browser and voice search built in as well as live wallpapers, etc. Lite version will not.

Hopefully tomorrow.

P.S. Expect no additional stability in Hawk, Google Services Framework FCs appear ultimately inevitable in these leaks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Good information. I've been using Hawk v4 for almost a week with no issues. And then today, I start getting unending FCs. Backing up now to reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
Been using this room since egret and still running smooth with no force closes. The way to go is definitely a wrote of everything with no restoration of data.

With the ram script that random recommended I get no random reboots. However my ram leakage has gotten worse and worse throughout the hawk builds. After restarting my available drops to 70mb within a minute. Doesn't seem to have much of an effect on speed though.

My battery life has also gotten worse with time. always amazing the first couple Weeks after a new ROM and calibration but gets worse and worse as the days go by.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I finally got hit with fcs on hawk v4 this morning. Had to wipe and restore a nandroid from a few days ago. I always install clean, never restore data, and manually install apps from the market. I still love this rom and appreciate the work put into it. I will continue to run this as my daily driver and am looking forward to the new update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rompnit:
I don't use Go Launcher or Ad Free and still get FCs. They seem to start up immediately after being prompted to roam? Weird... yes. Coincidence... maybe. But I have wiped and reflashed 3 times now due to excessive FCs, and every time they started after that prompt. Oh well... RandomROM still rocks! The best 'leaked' ROM out there!
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
Looking forward to your update. After using a few gingerbread ROMs I think yours is the most stable. Stockish is good too but still has the reboots, I get zero reboots with the Hawk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shinma6980:
So here's something interesting. Running v4 and it's happened twice now, but sometimes after a reboot I would get constant fc's. Well I was going to backup my sms but couldn't. I would get an i/o error. Today, I realized when that happens, my data directory is empty. I've got /data/ and that's it - nothing inside. I just reflashed, but thought it was weird and didn't know if anyone else had this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjhall:
I've actually had numerous weird issues with this rom. Eventually the software just "degrades" and I have to reflash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
That is interesting. I don't get roaming alerts however I notice that I have more issues when I travel outside the city. I live in a city with great coverage but if I travel to the suburbs or even a little farther I am probably roaming a bit more onto Verizon's network.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

I know I am on Phoenix but I hope you don't mind me jumping in. Phoenix thread less active.

I had similar issue this past weekend when I started getting force closes. I tried to back up my sms prior to restoring an older image from nandroid and I kept getting the I/O error. After Nandroid restore, I noticed SMS B & R created empty backup files. I did have a backup from a few days earlier that worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smartbeatz:
Same here... Seems stable for about 2 days and then I have to re-install. Otherwise it's fc after fc. Very annoying... and frustrating...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donmeister85:
Same here. Random, your ROM is amazing! I have been kinda reserved when it comes to these gingerbread ROMs because everyone seems to have weird issues, especially with random reboots. Initially, I had a couple of problems. Like I'd got the 9900 error like 3 times the first night. And I don't like default Samsung messaging so I tried AOSP messaging. I got no messaging notifications and the app would force close every time I got a message. I grabbed the mms.apk from "Stockyish" EH17 ROM as it's the same used in CM7. Have had no problems in that area anymore.

Another thing is that I leave my phone charging all night. I guess it hits 100% somewhere around 2-3am, but then it starts discharging after that despite being plugged in. Weird. But I don't lose that much charge. All in all, I'm quite happy with this ROM and hope that it continues to be this way for the next couple of months. Come Dec 1, I'm upgrading anyway.

Great job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
AWESOME ROM...thanks...will donate soon:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Just have a quick question for you Random.

In your next release, is it possible to include the latest beta of swype or do you plan on sticking with the one that you had for the latest v.4? Just curious that's all. So far the wipe and install of just the lite version for me has sorted out a lot of the headaches.

I still get occasional FC's with the Bank of America app, Swype, and there's a few others that are random but never consistent like the mentioned. Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I am considering coming back from Phoenix to Hawk for v5

Can you give us a preview of the changelog?

Any more headway on the Google Framework FCs?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've had the same issue on every version of this ROM. I love it, right up until it becomes unusable. Sometimes takes more than a week to happen, but I can't afford for it to happen when I really need the phone to work. So I'm using Phoenix until this gets sorted out. Probably won't be until the next leak/release though, as RK has mentioned that it seems to be an issue on most GB ROMS to some degree or another.
[Epic 4G Android Development] turbosocks:
i had issues on v2 and v3 after a while, but nothing wrong with v4 yet on the ROMs part.

With V2 and V3, it ran totally fine for a while, then suddenly i'd get all kinds of FC's, some solved by clearing cache or dalvik, but then would come right back..

Everything from Gmail.apk OR the Email.apk suddenly getting FC's to acore to Framework, not being able to access my contacts without FC's,etc.

Haven't had V4 for long as its pretty recent, but it seems to be 'better' somehow.

Will report back if i have issues!

Have anyone try to uninstall facebook for android? I uninstalled it a few hours ago n I havent had a fc for facebook or googleframe. Maybe coincidence I dont know lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I got hit with some google fc's again today. It usually takes about a week to happen. I just try to make daily nandroids so I can reflash the rom and restore quickly. It is worth it for me as the battery life on this rom is unmatched with anything else I have tried. The other day I went 10 hours with my phone in my back pocket, only checking the time here and there, and only lost 11% battery. Also, it has a professional layout, just about every mod I want, and everything I need to work, works. Untill the fcs of course...but that is to be expected on a leaked build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tuankk:
Nvm. It googleframe fc
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I ran v3 for over a month not a single force close, not a single GApps error. I did remove all google apps that came with the rom including the market. The most important one to remove is gtalk. I set everything up how I wanted then fresh installed all the google apps I needed.do not restore any data back into any of these apps, they must be clean installs. I have now SF one this with two other roms and again no fc or gapps error.

Thank You for the update my friend...I am VERY MUCH looking forward to your next release. After going on a ROM changing spree for the last 30 days, I have returned back to perfection, RandomROM Hawk v.4. This ROM is my favorite by far!!

Thank You VERY MUCH for everything you do RandomKing and especially the time and knowledge you put into giving us the best ROM available, allowing me to transform my phone from Epic Fail to Epic Greatness!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Also wanted to say thanks again!

I know this question has been asked a 1000 times... I wish it was in the first post. (Update: saw it on RandomKing's website)

So being that I am on Phoenix with an EC05 deodexed ROM I can just wipe data and flash Hawk. But since I am going to Odin a modem anyway, am I better off just odining this?

Stock EG22 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.18.4

Other questions:

Anyone using the faster gps fix in the 3rd post? How is it?

How similar are the ROMS for the S I9000? Do developers here make use of any of their stuff/share info etc?

.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Mine always seem to hit right after a reboot about a week in. My sure fire way of fixing them lately has been to do a nandroid once the fcs start, wipe everything 3x(or pre rom wipe on acs recovery), re flash v4 lite zip, pre rom wipe again, restore the nandroid I just made.

The lady's phone has not been hit with fcs since I flashed v4 over a week ago. Her setup is similar to mine, but I reboot way more often than her.

Looking forward to v5 and congrats on the soon to be arrival random.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuhsi:
looking forward to trying this new rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Why is it necessary to reflash the v4 lite zip if you are doing a nandroid restore? Doesn't the restore contain the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Sometimes if I just wipe 3x and restore a nandroid the fcs are still there. It has never failed me the way I posted, so I just go straight to doing it that way to avoid screwing around. Sometimes fixing permissions works as well, but not always.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Usually a nandroid restore will fix all your problems. But CWM is a touchy thing, and sometimes it just doesn't clean out everything when restoring a backup. If you get FCs and a nandroid restore solves everything, then great! But if it doesn't, you may have to reinstall, and THEN do a nandroid restore.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bchalker:
Had too many fc's on Hawk v4 so I went to Simply ASOP a week ago. Tried Thunderhawk this morning and within 3 hrs had a reboot so its back to ASOP for me. Really like this rom except for the roboots and fc's. Drop down menu is still too dark. Dont know why it like that as it adds nothing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Your argument is invalid. Simply ASOP is Froyo. ThunderHawk is Gingerbread. And Gingerbread remains a leak with glitches that can only be reduced. The two can't be compared.

My own personal preference. Find a theme you like and apply the AIO patch to it if it isn't already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Thanks for another great update, all set up to my liking now. No fcs after initial setup and reboot like I experienced on hawk v3 and v4. This rom is rediculous on battery life, but you have to be willing to accept random reboots and fcs at any given time on pretty much any gb rom at this point. I have no problem taking the 10-15 minutes fixing them when they eventually hit. The trade off is worth it to me.

Any suggestion on fixing tether force closing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I just tried wired tether and got some fcs as well. I never tried it on any of the other builds. It seemed to work when I turned on sprint hotspot before turning on wired tether, but it fcs when I try to stop it still.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I actually never used wired tether before yesterday afternoon, when it crashed. Google Android Wired Tether and download version 1.4. It works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have no use for it anyways. I was just checking it out to try and help the guy who posted on the issue originally. Still running smooth on thunderhawk for about 24hrs now. Only one random reboot that I have noticed. Only fc was with the wired tether so far. The lady's phone is still solid on v4, I'll have to update her soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gavisann:
What are the main differences with this compared to Hawk v.4 because v.4 is working well for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I wasn't talking about wired tether. The tether shortcut on the LP homescreen which I believe links to the hacked Sprint Wireless Hotspot crashes for me. A workaround is to use Android Wifi Tether from market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I don't really use that much either, but it turns on and off fine for me. I have never really tried to run it for any length of time. The lady uses it on v4 once in a while for her ipod and never complained of an issue. Have you tried the usual stuff? Clearing data, reflashing the rom, etc...

It is better to have the sprint wireless hotspot working since it can put out an infrastructure connection as opposed to the ad hoc signal android wifi tether produces.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
Darker menus use less display power and thus less battery drain, this ROM rocks!

I loved this rom cuz I never had better batterylife and performance than with this rom

The only problems I had was the random reboots which I understand r cuz of the leaks but I was just wondering what is the best modem this runs on..? I think I tried eb13, eg22, eh06, and eh17 and all had reboots

its impossible to run it on an ec05 modem right..?

And I hated the keyboard lag

Is there any fix for it..?
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
I'm not getting any fc's or reboots with this ROM, not since v4. I do feel like my phone runs smoother when I don't move my apps to the sd card, but that could just be me. Running with the eh17 modem. I back up and restore my apps using titainium and I only restore data for k9 mail, nothing else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Is there a zip I can flash that will just replace that or how would I wipe data on that app? I'm did not see it in Manage Apps

Well I decided to do a complete reformat of my phone to try this out again. I odin'ed back to stock, then odin'ed to the ec05nociq, then odin'ed the eg22 modem and then wipe x3 and flashed this rom. So far so good. Not a single random reboot or force close yet!

Get used to it. Fans here will just tell you its a leak so expect it. Try Simply ASOP if you want no fc's or reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chaosfenix:
Just something I've noticed that may be worth trying:

When I first installed the rom(v2) it was fine, but when I got a random reboot the fc's started. wiping and reflashing led top the same issue.

When I flashed again, I ran the journaling off then journaling on zips, and while I still get random reboots, I don't get fc's.

It could be coincidence, or maybe something is messed up with the initial built in journaling on leading to corruption due to the reboots? .

Something to look at Random King?
