Its just preventing a few apps, I think DRM content from running and using up memory and battery. Apps that you do not want to delete because they can interfere with phone functioning, media playback etc.

----

On my 2nd install, no force closes yet, I rebooted a few times - maybe it was the rom I installed over. Anyway, gonna make a nandroid just in case.

Is Supercharger recommended with this even though its got the Juwe script baked in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:
Just reporting one more thing. I was driving, clicked gps on. Opened maps and it said "this feature requies a data connection" and then it rebooted the phone shortly after. After it ebooted gps and maps worked fine. Just want to report anything I find

Loving the ROM so far. Awesome awesome ****. Just noticed the 1st curious thing...I scored a pretty good quadrant score for a GB rom of 1489 using Tegrak and OCing to 1.3ghz. Only thing i noticed is when looking at the graphics tests it goes thru in Quadrant, the graphics look like **** lol. the spinning moon thing is totally white, and certain effects are not there. It scored pretty good though in the 2d and 3d graphics department. Weird. But I'll take a near-1500 score on a gb rom anyday!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
I am O.C. to 1.2ghz and I get 1575 on Quadrant with no weird graphics. :)

I tried flashing this a couple of days ago. Had some FC's right out of the box, though I flashed it on top of a different ROM.

Flashed it again yesterday, no FC's at all, seems to be very stable. It'd be nice to have the stock browser, but other than that, no complaints.

Battery life is fantastic. After 4 hours I was still sitting at 100%, though it'd been in my pocket the whole time:

With some moderate use later in the day (mostly web and facebook, some texting, no voice usage), I'm down to this:

I remember when I got my Epic, I was lucky to get 8 hours before it was completely dead. With JuiceDefender I might go 12 hours before it would get *****y. The above shots are without JuiceDefender installed.

I restored my apps with Titanium Backup immediately after installing the ROM. I also froze the DRM and SNS stuff with superfreeze.

It does spend most of the day on wifi, which, I believe, uses less power than 3g or 4g. It was on 3g while I was having lunch in a restaurant, and I was reading cnn.com the whole time I was there (30 minutes or so?).

I'm still running the EH17 modem, would it be a good idea to downgrade, or should I stay with what I have?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
If the EH17 modem is working well for you, then you don't need to downgrade it at all.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I know this is an old post.

Can you elaborate on fixing permissions? Do you do that in cwm?

Thinking about odin'ing the eh17 modem. But also thinking maybe EC05. Currently on EH06 and no gps.

lifeofbean - let me know how gps locks are with eh17
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
I use purple CWM and I've always gotten MD5 checskum mismatch when restoring RandomKing Roms, any idea why? This happened with v2 and now v3 also; no problem with EH06 or EH17 ROMs though.

dja2k

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Yes you fix permissions inside CWM. Also be careful odin the EH17 modem as I've tried to do that and had FC after the lockscreen.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I have been running v3 for about 24 hrs now and it seems a bit more stable for me than v2 so far. Late last night I did start getting some major force closes, but fixing permissions took care of all of them so far. I had one random reboot early this morning, but that is all.

Battery life is still the best I have experienced with any rom yet. Sitting idle for 6 hours in my pocket this morning it only dropped 6%. I used it quite a bit after that, but I'm at 12 hours off charge and 50% still.

System ram still generally sits around 65-75mb as I reported last night. I am running EH17 modem with superfreeze enabled after initial sync. Gps worked fine on both telenav and google maps. I tried one on my way to a job and one on the way back. About 1.5 hr drive each way.

I have experienced some strange things with the stock browser, but I never use voice search and prefer dolphin mini anyway. Would crawrj's eg22 browser fix help resolve any of these reported issues? On hawk v2 I installed the browser myself, flashed his zip and never had an issue with it. I very rarely used it, but this version semed a lot buggier right from the start. Maybee I'll flash the zip over this one and see if it helps.

I can deal with a few random reboots a day for everything else this rom has to offer. Excellent work once again for making a gingerbread rom I can use as a daily driver.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lifeofbean:
The only reason I've considered it is on my last rom, I had an issue 3 times where the phone hard locked when turning off 4G and required a wipe/reinstall to work again. I'm not sure if it was the rom or the modem causing it. That was with ERA's Hurricane ROM 1.6.

Every time it happened it was after tethering for awhile; I haven't had a chance to tether on 4G with Hawk yet though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
thanks - would ec05 have the same issues?

would a nandroid restore, restore the modem ? i dont think it does because i nandroided before i flashed the deodexed eg22 through cwm and my modem still shows eh06
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
just in case anyone's interested...i found a google talk that works like a CHARM. AND it has WORKING video chat (as it should). just tested it out and its beautiful. No force closes. Fully compatible with this rom. so don't fret you GTalk users.

Only problem is the front-facing camera isn't working, but it might just be that i don't see the setting for it. I'm testing out a different version now...let u all know how it goes.

Found the stuff here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Nandroids will not change your current modem. Your best bet is to experiment youself with different modems. People can have different results with different phones and service areas. Give it a day or two with each, run speed tests on 3g and 4g if available. Also see if you get better signal strength, gps accuracy, battery life, and reception.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
OK Found a working one. Front-facing cam works. You can even switch it between cameras if u want. Just Extract, put the files in their respective folders, make permissions rw-r-r, and reboot. DO NOT FLASH. won't work on our phones.

here's the link - http://db.tt/eZGNo4L
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
I just put on the EH17 modem. Definitely felt the force close vibrate when I booted, messaging worked fine, email force closed so i rebooted into cwm and fixed permissions. Think it is ok now. Hoping I do not have to reflash rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:
Just curious but in my about phone the kerel reads 2.6.35.7 that shouldn't be something else right? In my last rom it was genocide 1.0. I just want to make sure, does anyone know wht the kernel does or whe to update it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
That is correct. And there's no update necessary that's custom kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I am still running v. 2 on wife's phone 4 days now, not 1 single reboot and not one single fc or frameworks error. I have been on v. 3 on my Epic now 24hrs. Again not one single fc or reboot. I can only attribute the gtalk and ram script for the correction to the issues. On my first attempt on v. 2 several weeks ago I fell victim to both issues fc frameworks issue and reboots. Also I am running sync on gmail, calendar, greader, and having no troubles at all because of that. I am using eg22 modem on both phones now and had used eh06 on mine until last night. Again great work on the ROM! I previously posted exact steps I took to keep v. 2 stable and i did nothing different when flashing v. 3 lite. I also see no reason why anyone would odin a stock tarr prior to flashing this rom when already coming from a custom rom. I wiped and flashed rarely ever touch odin except to flash modems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:
another reboot

i went to hang up a phone call, the screen was black, opened the keyboard to see if it had rebooted, it then rebooted the samsung screen, upon load i now have the provess com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. I attempted to fix permissions in CWM with no results. Also the ADAO App Killer widget is now displaying Problem Loading picture. I am going to do a clean install. Only on this rom since last night at 11pm. I was on Hawk V2 before this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
I started to get the same FC when I restarted my phone a while ago and also CWM fix permissions didn't work either.

Im thinking of trying out RandomROM 2.3, is there anything I should know? How does Genocide 2.0 do on it? Any major issues popping up? What modem is working best for the users here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
Genocide 2.0 is EC05 Froyo 2.2.1 based and will not work because RandomROM 2.3 is EG22 Gingerbread 2.3.4 based. Major issues are FC in some and random reboots. Modems that work great for me are EH06 and EH17.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Are you wiping phone clean at all three points in recovery before flashing? Do not install v3 over v2 or any other rom without wiping clean. Try flashing the light version of v3. Also do not restore apps unless it's an app you can't get again but do not restore data at all. Do new clean installs of the apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Non-Good News

On the downside,

I have been checking in on other Rom threads up through revision EH17... And it seems that most, if not all Epic GB leaks are still suffering from Google Framework Services FC's.

Come on, final, fixed, super awesome, automagical Official GB!

EDIT: It seems to be the calendar that is the potential problem synced or not... maybe... but unfortunately there's no viable replacement app for that. Damnit Google/Sprint/Samsung.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Been running since it came out, have to say for me, the battery life is awesome. Better than previous versions for me. I'm thinking of trying the EH17 modem for a few days because the EG22 i'm on signal just blows now when i was constantly getting service and everything here. Who knows what it could be. GPS picked up quick the first few times, but now it isn't picking up so nicely anymore. MMS/SMS work like a charm. Internet is snappy, i'm only in a 3g area so no 4g tests for me atm. I haven't had any random reboots (thankfully) but I did have some random FC's when I was doing navigation. That app FC'd on me and then when I rebooted, there was no connection to GPS. But great work RandomKing as always though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
I dont get why on this rom (maybe on all GB roms, not sure) my free RAM is so low compared to on ec05 roms...

I have the same exact apps running. running services are under control. Yet I only get a max of like 70mb free RAM after killing most apps compared to an average of about 130mb free after killing the same apps on ec05.

Any ideas? Any known RAM devourers culpable?

EDIT: Ok. Found out Status Bar is constantly running in the foreground and using 22 mb RAM. And turning off Bluetooth (which i always keep on, and usually still get 130mb free ram avg with ec05) freed up about 20mb more RAM. Even when I turn bluetooth off, though, BrcmBluetoothServices process is still running in the foreground and I can't shut it. ???. Do I need this to use bluetooth? And the acore process keeps jumping back and forth from 17mb ram to 35 mb ram constantly. Auto-sync is off and so is data/wifi. Everything else seems pretty much in check, though certain apps i usually always run in the background are eating up much more RAM than usual. odd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Im really liking this rom but the force closes started again after I rebooted.

I am not sure if its related but I installed Go Launcher and an app called Smooth Calendar which displays a widget on my home screen.

Any suggestions other than fixing permissions and reflashing to eliminate the fc's?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Perhaps this is my problem. I love the smooth calendar widget, I have fb birthdays synched with my google calendar. The widget displays my days events on my home screen. Can the android calendar be frozen in Titanium to see if its the culprit?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
I solved it on mine. By the way sweet rom. I love the work the other fellas are doing on the leaks but the reboots are just unbearable. This rom has had no reboots and only 1 force close issue with google framework.

Here's how I fixed it.

I was running era eh17 hurricane leak but kept getting random reboots

So I decided to take 2.3 hawk for a spin. I decided to backup the era hurricane via cwm nanoid back up. Because I was quite sure I could restore the data onto your 2.3 rom.

But I ALSO decided to back up via titanium backup all user apps + system data. That would allow me to restore little things individuallly. So when I got the framework problem i went into titanium found google framework system app and I restored it with data.

That did not work

So then I restored it with out data app only and rebooted

Wallaaaa never had the problem again.

Hope this helped thanks for the rom brother....nice job
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
I went back to v2. No fcs yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
Hey link don't work. Got another?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
What is strange is that I do a nandroid restore of before the force closes started but it does not help
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
In TB it says its backing u backing up system ata...not app..is it backing up app too? I can't get rid of force closes..is v.2 more stable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dja2k:
I know what you mean, I've restored a backup without FC and after they are still there...unexplainable.

dja2k
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robalboa:
In titamium click the menu button and select batch. Then you get options to back up , restore, all kinds of things. Select back up all system data and user apps.

Then when you have an issue with any app or system problems you can restore that individual data. Like the google services framework. Just clicked on it in titanium then selected restore. It then asks me if I want to restore app only or data only or app+data.

I had backed up all from hurricane rom before I flashed random 2.3 once I flashed random I went into titanium in the batch menu and restored all system and user apps.

And when I got the google framework fc I went into titanium and found the google framework in the list selected restore app only and I've never had a fc since. It may be a fluke but I doubt it this rom works perfect

Anything missing that I used before I just go into titanium and restore it. Hope this helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Still running smooth, no fc's for me since I fixed permissions on Monday. Still seems like less random reboots and better battery life for me than v2. I have only noticed 4 reboots since Monday.

I always wipe 3x data, cache, and dalvik. I did install over v2 after wiping. Last night it got more fc's then I tried to install chris41's kernel and then the v3 lite and it stuck in a reboot. Then wiped and flashed again with just the v3 lite. Seems to be working a lot better than the full version. Didn't have the xda app in it... :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] joejunior253:

How is the battery on v3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Batteryifo for me is great, best I have ever experianced without having to shut down services. I ran on 4g all day until I got home then I switched to wifi. I unplugged at noon and its 11:22pm and i am at 54% for me that's awesome. I loaded the lite version of v3 and i did clean reinstall off all my apps from android market except for a few exceptions which I either have the apk file saved or had to use titbu to load. In my opinion DO NOT RESTORE APPS OR DATA ON APPS. this I believe is the reason for my personal success with both v2 & v3. Good luck
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ree$e:
I'm really loving this Rom. I haven't had any of the issues I see people are having. Not one FC! Hope I don't jinx my phone LOL.... But they way I installed this Rom was first I Odin the eh17 file then just flash the v3 Rom right over it.

Its been over 36hours and no problem so far.

-the one problem I have and it not really a problem is my battery not showing on the top indicator.

GREAT ROM!

I forgot PPCGeeks added an Android section. Once I left WinMo, I never went back to PPCGeeks. As far as AndroidCentral - the only time I go there is when I google a problem I'm having and there's an AC result with a possible solution. Other than that, I'm good here and I check your blog.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It uses Chris41g's repacked kernel. Any of them should work, but I don't think any are really that different. There are no custom kernels without source available and Froyo kernels will not work on Gingerbread roms.

EDIT (After successful flash): Wow, I plugged the phone up, charged to 100%, powered off and unplugged. Charged to 100%. Unplugged and booted into recovery and wiped battery status. Right away on boot I got two Google Framework FC's...ugh!!! Damn this Google Framework crap.

After a month with this ROM and really giving it a shot I went back to the old faithful Random Rom 2.2. I just couldn't take any more FC's and random reboots. Thanks again Random for everything you're providing for us!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Still no fc's for me since fixing permissions after initial hawk v3 setup on Monday. Battery life has been significantly better than my v2 setup with v6 supercharger script. I still get 2-3 android system reboots a day. I did have a bootloop issue after installing and enabling gingerbread keyboard, but fixing permissions one more time solved it. I have also noticed the red notification light sometimes turns on and stays on when my battery gets down around 20%. A quick reboot fixes it. Anyone else notice this? Other than that everything is rock solid and I love it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Reboots are unsolved until Samsung fixes it... most of us Devs aren't that in-depth at the work we do. Haven't noticed the notification LED stay on, so I have no idea about that.

I have been able to consistently replicate Google Framework FC's after reboots or synchronizations, but not always after the same usage. At the same time, I've managed to keep it at bay for up to a week or so.

NOTICE: I am currently testing my final theory on how to fix them... Fingers crossed, but don't get your hopes up.

ATTENTION! Anyone who has consistently been unable to squash the framework crashes, PM me. I will link you the newest version. It appears fixed to me, but it may not be and I could use a few testers. If this doesn't fix it, I am out of ideas until an official fix.
