not really, was just giving my experiences for the moment with this modem for people thinking about flashing it. however, my gps has always worked pretty well from day one, regardless of setup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Update 7 isn't the most current one...update 8 is. Then there were some other changes going on as well. Also, it doesn't help to have the KickAssKernel script and the 3G TurboCharger in the same thread. I still haven't gotten an answer about if the 3G or KickAssKernel scripts will even help at all. Do you notice any lag or stuttering in the GPU after implementing the scripts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Likewise, and I'm on my fourth one. Screen fried, High-pitched shriek in speaker, Overheating. :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
the kernel tweaks are only for stock unmodified kernels.. I DONT use it. Even when i did on Bonsaibread, i didn't find any advantage rather it created lag because bonsaikernel is already modified with most if not all of the tweaks set by that script. the 3g tweaks are well worth it imo. my 3g speeds 3x! I apply this to every rom i flash now. it doesn't make sense to include the v8 supercharger bundled in because it doesn't supercharge the home launcher so you have to run it regardless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sacwoo:
I had the same problem last night, I went into the applications and cleared the data for phone and it started working again without re flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twolostminds:
I was having gapps process FC's so I wanted to do a complete clean install so I

1. Odin'd ECO5 deodexed EXT4

2. Rebooted into CWM and let it do its thing.

3. Updated to HAWK

4. Rebooted into CWM and let it do its thing

All looked great. Ran it for an hour before syncing Google or adding any programs. As soon as added my Google account to sync I started getting gapps process FC's.

Tried clearing caches, fixing permissions and did a data/factory reset and still had FC after FC. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmoney7979:
hello ..thank you for this rom..is my first rooted rom and it seems good i guess my only problem is when i mess with it after fully charge i always read news on da internet for bout 20min every morning..my batt goes from 100 to 88% in 20 min..did i do anything wrong..i did everything what u posted
[Epic 4G Android Development] defmytones:
from what I read I thought update 8 was still in dev, but they had it up for people to test. My bad.

But absolutely no lag going on, this thing is solid. Smartbench is showing 1200/3100 compared to my 1100/2900, good stuff. The only issue I've been dealing with is random reboots, which has happened twice in 3 days, but thats just EG22 issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
See, this is the part where I see some inconsistency. I tried 8 & 11 and 9 & 11 as well as individually. I seemed to get some stuttering on the GPU tests. I also took about a 100 point hit on CPU and GPU. It did seem to make the app drawer scrolling faster and smoother. It helps for multi-tasking as well. I don't pay a ton of attention to benchmarks but the stuttering made me reluctant. Did you try any games with it added?
[Epic 4G Android Development] defmytones:
That might be our difference, I only did 8, what is 11 exactly? (dont have my phone on me, at work).

And yes, I used my N64oid with starfox 64 and Mario Kart running better than ever. It already ran great with Random, but the charger definately showed inprovement. Mario Kart never worked before this ROM for me.

I cannot figure out to save my life why I am getting the gapps force closes. After a fresh install it doesn't happen but after using for about a day it comes back. I have flashed back to stock with Odin and followed instructions step-by-step. It seems as if it has a mind of it's own. I also cannot seem to grasp my GPS issue it picks up the satellites no problem and quickly. After driving for a few miles the GPS Signal is Lost. I open GPS Status to look at the issue and it shows total of 9 satellites available but will not lock onto any.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
I went ahead and installed this exactly as outlined in the OP and I haven't had any problems at all. Not sure why everyone else is. This is the snappiest GB ROM that I have used yet. Even the GPS fixed on right away. Thanks again Random. I was using your EC05 ROM and finally decided to go with the EG22 ROM Hawk and don't regret it one bit. I have been on all of the other GB builds and have ended up going back to EC05 but I think i will stay on this one until something else better comes out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kosiak:
Thank you for making those script instructions def... Combined with Randoms perfect instructions on installing from stock rom my epic has been barely sipping battery and is very smooth and fast! Thanks guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Battery life with this is ridiculously amazing.

Of course, the fact that half the apps don't work kinda helps (like google talk). I'm hoping the bugs get worked out soon, in the meantime I'll just be flashing other roms to see whats out there.

For the record,

1 day 5 hours, 22 minutes on battery. 47% remanining.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jabrilli:
How are people getting that good of battery life? Do you use the phone @ all lol? I text alot, more than anything, and I'm rarely using other apps. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Yes, admittedly, I did not use it very much in the past day, but that is still pretty impressive. It used to barely last for 12 hours even if I wasn't using it.

BTW, have you tried hte Kies Air app?

I have been texting through there from my computer. Pretty cool.

And the other thing is that I do a lot of google talk, and it doesn't work at all on this ROM, for me at least.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I always wonder the same thing.

I'm not a super heavy user, but I do use the phone and WiFi quite a bit. I'm lucky to get 10hrs of moderate usage, and less than that if I use 4G.

I'd die to have an EPIC that got through a normal 16hr day without recharging.

I really wonder if it's the apps that I use or some sort of setting I need to change. I've done all the normal things that I've read to improve battery stats- screen, radios, etc. I even have a setting that I use with PhoneWeaver that I call "battery save" that shuts down all non-essentials when I'm not using it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If you think your additional apps may be draining the battery, then give the phone a test run with the rom and nothing else for a day. See if there's an improvement. If it does, than you can try and narrow down the apps in question one by one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] icevapor:
Also, dont forget to use the battery calebration app, i had horible battery till i used it (like phone dead in 6 hours). Now i can go all day nd still have like 50% left.

This rom is pretty sweet. Nice job Random

Looking forward to this....will this have the latest GB release?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
Hi, i have a small visual glitch on the dialer running HAWK, the tabs at the top all have almost white letters except for the contacts which the lettering does not line up with the other 3 and the color is very close to the same color as the background. Is this a thing only i am seeing or more people?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
This will still be EG22. I have not tried EH06 yet or received much confirmation on it's merits. Additionally, there seems to be some confusion over EH11 and EH13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It's not just you. Happened on many themes I've tried. The problem is that Contacts is integrated into Android, technically. At the same time, it's not. The general overall theme changes the first three tabs, but contacts retains it's own tab for some reason. I'm not sure how to fix it, and I didn't actually make that part of the theme myself, so it's low on my list of worries. Just a glitch in the theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mustangdvx:
I freaking love this ROM. It is by far the fastest ROM of any gingerbread, or froyo, IMO.

GPS works great, but I had to jump through hoops when I upgraded to froyo so that may explain why it works now.

Thanks for the awesome work. Im a heavy 4g, text, browser, music, user and I'm sitting at 64% after 4 hours of use. SyndicateROM would have me at 10% by now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Love the enthusiasm! Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Just had some problems with my phone allowing me to mount the sd card.

Deleted some old backups I had, connected my phone to my pc to put some music on it.

No longer have storage. Sucks considering my backups are on my sd card lol.

Edit:Im going to odin a stock odex rom in order to gain access to my sd card again and then restore this rom.

I have force close on the Activity Settings. (Settings Options)

Edit2: Wow, so I used odin to go to stock rom and I still dont have any sort of storage....Any Ideas, this is pretty bad.

edit3: MicroSD card doesnt work at all anymore....gah went from 16gb to 8gb to 2gb cards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SRobby:
Anyone else having Facebook updateing issues?

Tried updating to the latest Facebook, and i get FC's, Cleared data till FC's

1 - Clear data, update = FC

2 - Clear Data, uninstall, install from market = FC

3 - Odin EG22,RFS2EXT, Random Hawk Flash, Sit for an hour, install Facebook = FC

Suggestions?

Still a great Rom, Random damn fine work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I think that this option is in my future this weekend.

My phone seems to know that I'm considering making these changes and after recharging the battery from totally empty last night and using it for a very long phone call this morning, I'm still at 96%. I've been off the charger for 2 hours and the call was 26 minutes. Usually I'd be in the low 80's right now. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Uthman:
I have hawk installed on 2 phones. both of them FC/Reboot a LOT! All I do is text. Usually it works fine, then 5-6 times a day after i send a text, i'll press the power button to turn of my screen and i'll feel that vibrate you sometimes get when a rom flash doesnt work. you know what im talking about:

vrrrr.......................................vrrrr.....vrrrr

that vibrate. if i try and press the power again, no response. i have to wait about 30 seconds for it to do whatever it is doing. when the phone finally comes around, it seems that android (not the phone itself, just the OS) has rebooted. it runs the media scanner, etc. loads up my messages and calls, then it's business as usual. ive tried reflashing more than once and ive had the same issue on both of my phones.

i really love this rom, but i dont feel comfortable giving it to other, less tech-savy people (the wife, coworkers, etc) due to how frequent the OS reboots itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Does anyone's About Phone > System Updates crash? Right when I tap System Updates I get the vibrate and FC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] il buono:
Did you use the superfreeze command? If so undo it and it will fix it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
If you did the superfreeze command, that is why it's FCing. Superfreeze kills system updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
where is the RED THEME and whats ETA on it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] savior02:
Nice I noticed a new update. If I flash over previous version will it clean install or will I still have my stuff?

[Epic 4G Android Development] blastboi:
my epic does this also will reflashing fix this? or flashing journal on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Should always backup, but you can just clear cache partition and dalvik cache and flash the update, it does a data backup and then restore when it is done.

Worked perfectly for me going from Osprey to Hawk
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
You have the black facebook?

If so, it won't be updated from the maket. You'll have to uninstall first. Then download and install from the market.

Just did it now and that worked just fine (though have to relink your contacts)

EDIt: didn't see #2 fully. Did you move Facebook to the SD card??
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I had the same thing happen without the super freeze command.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmoney7979:
hello guys. i have 4 question.. how do i know if i have ext4 on my clockwork..(i have purple) does it convert it self? and 2.can i flash another kernel besides the one already installed ? any suggestion??? 3. why my batt goes from 100 to 80 in 35min all i do is install kik,tuneinradio,miren browser and justin tv..thats all i add after clean install...? 4.does it go launcher works with this rom? i installed it once and it disappear my home icons ....thank you very much ...sorry for many questions i just want to stock n re do again....thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
each launcher manages it's own home screens and icons. if you just installed go launcher you have to set up your home screens again. i think go has some way to copy home screens from another launcher but have never tested it out
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
this just happened to me for the first time today! it's not a big deal as it's only happened once in 5 days on hawk. are these the random reboots that everyone is talking about or do those actually reboot the whole phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
This is exactly what I've experienced. But a reboot a day keep the vibrates away.

I am using the original font patch and the almost stock theme as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Facebook straight from the market installed and ran just fine for me. However, do not tell it to synchronize your contacts if you've run the superfreeze command. SNS service is frozen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
About to take the dive to Hawk v2! Legggo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Don't get your hopes too high! Its mostly thematic changes and the rotation lag fix. Also re-included the yamaha calibration tool, hopefully it works.

I'm working on the low battery killers for the next revision until

Someone can confirm better memory in eh06.

Really hope I was the first one to download HAWK v2. I just clicked refresh and it was there.

[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
well then.... i can say the swype keyboard looks nice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] h4kudoshi:
Hmm odd, because I just downloaded it and installed right after a fresh install of hawk and it doesn't open just vibrates then crashes. Can't get past that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
sooo, is the EG22, or the EH06 the better radio to flash first

my wifes epic needs some updating so im going to try this rom

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] h4kudoshi:
I uninstalled and reinstalled it and everything works. Any reason why contacts shouldn't be sync'ed? I enabled it to try and no problems with it so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
EH06 modem is better from personal use
[Epic 4G Android Development] Amd4life:
thanks just used EH6, and it does indeed work very well

this ROM is AWESOME by the way!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
If you run superfreeze, it stops SNS. That shouuuld interfere with Facebook contact integration and may result in a FC somewhere.

Thanks for the support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I have FB Sync on still and I ran superfreeze; no FC on FB for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SRobby:
Im going to try a full Odin-EG22, rfs2ext, flash, wait, wait, wait, sync & install and see what happens.

Funny how people still thinks its a big deal to wipe and reinstall your stuff, i have a lot of crap and i think ive gotten it down to about a half hour, and thatsby slowly restoring things, batch seems to break stuff.

Zip it up & Zip it out

I had the same thing happening to me and found it to be a reoccuring item in calendar. I have since deleted it (on a computer) and no more force closing of gapps or google services framework
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
Awesome ROM man! Very smooth, no FCs, and like the themeing. Not a benchmark buster (900) but impressive EVERYwhere else. I am a heavy user and got

18 hrs with 15% battery left

34% andriod system

22% maps and gps

14% Cell standby

13% Wi-fi

12% phone idle

7% voice calls

I was barely getting 8 hrs before....thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Deleted Calendar? Weird. I haven't used it much though.

I've updated the AIO mod to include the rotation lag fix as well as updated the theme to include that and all elements of Hawk v.2.

Am I the only one noticing an immediate difference in GPS response after flashing the EH06 modem? Locked in 2 seconds from inside of a window in my office building, 5 or 6 satellites.

Thanks this worked perfectly for me. So far I'm getting way better battery life than previous version.

LOVE this ROM!!

I am on the second install of this ROM.. The first one crashed and burned after a crash caused by enabling wifi while 4G was enabled. Usually, it auto disables 4G, but that time it just crashed the phone.. when it came back up, I was getting FC's in multiple programs.

So, i wiped and installed again, and after a day or 2, by mistake enabled wifi again before disabling 4G.. again it crashed, and this time, only Amazon app FC'd.. i removed and reinstalled Amazon, and all is good with the world again.

So, has this happened to anyone else? It's not a game ender.. Just have to remember to disable one before enabling the other..

Other than that, the ROM is fast.. and the battery life is ridiculously amazing..

On an aftermarket (from ebay for $17) 3.7VDC 3500mAh battery:

4G on for 10 hours

WiFi and 3G on for 9 hours.

4G Tethering for 1 hour

About 50 SMS via GoSMS

90-120 minutes of talk time..

20 emails sent via Moxier Exchange mail

50 emails read via Moxier Exchange mail

10 emails read via Gmail

2 three minute videos watched via Youtube

4 pictures taken via camera

20 pictures viewed in Gallery via Picassa online

1 hour usage of online music via IHeartRadio (speaker and headphone)

Chase and Capital One credit card app usage (about 10 min)

(Phone was off charger from 8 am in the morning to 2 am at night)

And still 35% battery left at the end of the day!! Holy crap!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I generally leave Wifi on when I turn 4G on. 4G simply overrides it, and when you turn 4G off, wifi simply comes back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] EvanWasHere:
It usually works.. but sometimes it doesnt.. I just FC'd now in fact.. tried disabling 4G manually to get on wifi in my office to do KiesAir.. and the phone froze.. then reset itself.. came back on, and Amazon FC'd again.

But who needs Amazon?? lol..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
I'm still running the EF02 modem on Hawk v.1. The GPS has always locked right away.

To install Hawk v.2, can we just flash over the top of v.1, or do we have to do a complete wipe then flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jct522:
I just odined the EH06 modem to check it out and I also noticed how fast it locked on. It even was a little more accurate than the EG22 modem. It got me down to 9 feet inside a building which is pretty good for where i'm at. I'm sure if i went outside it would be even better.

So I'm wanting to update to your most recent version of Hawk. Im on the first Hawk build right now but you seem to be doing a lot of daily updates. I guess i just want to wait until you are done with them. Are you going to be making anymore changes or is this version finished with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Clean alllways recommended simply because you just don't know. ;)

Buuut it should flash over just fine.

This will probably be the only patch to hawk. It really only includes the lag fix to make your phone rotate a littttle faster and a whole bunch of theme changes. Blue swype is now the default, messaging has nice matching notification icons, green for sms, red for mms. New battery icon, Blue loading circle, etc. Basically a few things I just didn't quite squeeze in.

Also, the lag fix is now built into the AIO and is declared the Final AIO for EG22 as of now.

Amazon just sits there for me so I can have my free games and a couple other apps I picked up. :D

I downloaded hawk v2 last evening @2330 hours 8/17/11. Is it different from the hawk v2 that's updated today?

[Epic 4G Android Development] SRobby:
Facebook is working just fine this time around, guess it was a fluke.

-Odin'd EG22 w/root, shutdown, 3-finger start to purple recovery

-RFS2EXT, restart, shutdown, 3-finger start to purple recovery

-Wipe Data 3x, Cache 3x, Dalvik 3x, Install Hawk v.2, reboot, let sit for 20 minutes

-Added gmail account, opened market and let it update whatever it wanted, reboot

-Installed Facebook, no problems

Currently juicing up and recalibrating, will post battery results tommorow.

For sure a blue swype in this one, looks good.

Yet another great rom so far -Zero- problems, great job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrisnosleep:
If I want to install one of the newer modems will it wipe out everything on the phone or just exchange the Modem info.

As I stated earlier, I'm on EF02 Modem, running Hawk v1. Getting ready to install Hawk v2. I'm just trying to do this as easily as possible, I just got Hawk v1 all set up and I don't want to have to re-download everything. And yes, I'm going to try to flash Hawk v2 over the top of Hawk v1.
