[Acer Iconia A500] WolfLord97:
I tried Virtuous Picasso and Virtuous Galaxy. Both were fast and I liked some of the apps that came with the Galaxy. However, they were both a little buggy. I had to reboot the Iconia a couple of times during the short period that I tested them.

I have been using Taboonay 1.1 for almost a month now. I don't remember having to reboot the device or anything fcing on me. My only complain (if you can call that), is the app selection that comes with the ROM. I don't see going to any other ROM anytime soon.

Best Rom for EPIC 4G is RandomRom 2.3.4 | Alpha "Hawk" w/EG22 compiled by RamdomKing

UPDATE*********9/11/2011

Sad to say but do too issues with FC'S, ramdon rom hawk 2.3.4 can't no longer hold this title for me. I have tried different fixes none have worked. So for over 2 weeks now I've been testing [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2) and have not had any FC'S, overall it has been very stable. Occasional reboots do occur but that's a common thing with all gb releases. I hope random can find a way to stabilize the rom. I tried removing gtalk as mentioned but had no success, FC'S were still occurring. O well only 5 days left and the galaxy s2 will be out can't wait. The only down is the fact that it has no keyboard.

Newbie in the posting forum+++

I would like to say that after careful testing Ive come to the conclusion that RandomRom 2.3.4 combined with EG22, is by far the best gingerbread rom for my Epic 4G. I was really excited to see gingerbread roms for the epic 4G, so I tried scrambled eggs but unfortunately it was way to buggy ( Constant Freezes, Hangs etc) and battery life was not up to part. I then cleared the phone and gave RamdomRom a shot and it has proven to be a solid rom. Battery life has been amazing and radios too. GPS is also working really good and quite reliable. I have installed all gmail applications, other stock applications and a few others like the weather toggle, amazon, ebay, plume, pulse, shazam, Facebook and a few games all running great. One of my major concerns was the fact that Im a heavy phone user and allot of other roms would freeze while calls where coming in or at the time of placing a call ( Very frustrating) and that issue so far is non existent.

I must say to anyone interested in this rom to follow the instructions to the T. Watch out from installing unnecessary programs that might take away resources from the system to work at optimum level.

I would like to thank Ramdomking for compiling the best ideas from other great developers into this wonderfull rom. I'm leaving a link to the rom below. Please make sure to follow all instructions carefully and it should all work very smooth, if it doesn't then you may have done it incorrectly or installed a conflicting app. Cheers!

[Epic 4G General] FrankyFiggz27:
before you make that statement check out [ERA] eh06 unnamed v1.1 (updated 8/17). and make sure ur running the eh06 modem, not eg22. it's better and u can run it on either rom
[Epic 4G General] ccpotato:
besides acs syndicate i cant think of one that is actually stable... seems like everything else has bugs in a bunch or more
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
You beat me to it. ERA is the best GB rom to date.. for me at least. Maybe if random switched to EH06 I would try it out again No other gb rom worked properly.on my phone.. I would get random reboots and random fcs. All of the eh06 roms worked well for me and eras works excellent

[Epic 4G General] ccpotato:
it doesnt support Exchange ? no mail app...
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
The app is just the client. It certainly does still support exchange. most people prefer other mail apps, such as touchdown, k9, or enhanced email. Just push the email.apk file back in if you want the stock email app back.
[Epic 4G General] ccpotato:
can you post link to the stock/default email APK? its not in the provided APK folder, and the 3rd party solutions (e.g. K9) are not passing my companies authentication
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
I don't agree. My mms wasn't working, also other system updates. Bonsai is the only ext4 eh06 Rom i believe
[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
Hmm. Didn't even know bonsai had a eh06 rom. I gotta check their site out.. I've always been a bonsai fan

[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
running really smooth. i highly suggest you run v6 supercharger 8, 11 after you set it up. but yeah I think they are using the eh06 ext4 kernel.. check out bonsai discussion under general.
[Epic 4G General] 2nice79:
OK, i got a head ache of trying to figure this out.....

I put hawk verson 2 on my phone following the instructions that randomking put on his blog here.

This step takes me back to 2.2.1..... is this correct. Is Hawk a froyo or a gb rom?

Pre-Steps:

Option A: Odin the .tar for EC05 deodexed EXT4.

Option B: Use one-click to root nearly any current setup with EXT4.

Option C: Already on an EXT4 setup? You’re good to go, proceed.

Steps:

A clean install is recommended (Wipe 3X).

Ensure that your phone is on CWM 3.1.0.1 (Purple).

Odin a Gingerbread modem such as EE03, EF02, EG22, or EH06.

Flash RandomROM Alpha “Hawk” v.2.

Enjoy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I followed the steps accordingly and I kept getting forced closed messsages and it wouldnt run the email app without closing it as well. Therefore, I feel like this should be running on gingerbread even though the step told me to put eco5 deodexed ext4 on it and that is where my problem was.

So is Hawk a gingerbread rom. I got a head ache and I apparently need some guidance.

If I did indeed do it right, and I am just suffering problems, can someone please recommend a problem free rom and tell me if it runs on froyo or gingerbread?
[Epic 4G General] glenner444:
Well if the rom installed and is running, you did it right. If you're getting fc's in email, you can try clearing the cache/data.

If you want something totally stable, radomking just updated his ec05 rom (phoenix). Flash that and it should be rock solid and still have all his battery-saving tweaks.
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
As mentioned, it sounds like your install just suffered some issues. Try clearing data and cache and installing again. If problems persist, try redownloading.

Also, try 2.2.1 Phoenix EC05 for a solid experience.

But to answer your question:

Yes Hawk is a Gingerbread rom. Yes the directions recommend flashing a Froyo rom. No it doesn't matter. I've selected that particular .tar due to its repeated clean success with all of my rom testing of froyo or gingerbread. Flashing a rom through cwm will replace everything but the file system and modem. In essence, that pre-step is only to ensure you're on deodexed EXT4.

[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
When I get FC's after an install its usually because of random crap left over from previous ROM. I notice you're new to XDA. Perhaps you don't know what RandomKing meant by wipe 3x.

While in clockworkmod notice that there is an option labeled "wipe data/factory reset" and under that "clear cache partition". Those should be done 3 times each. I usually alternate between them. I don't believe there's anything magical about 3 times. Just want to make sure they're wiped clean so don't be afraid to do it 4 times if you lose count.

I also go to "advanced" and then choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache". May not be necessary but it doesn't hurt.

If you get FC's, go back and wipe 3x again and flash the ROM again. Don't do any of the options A - C if you reflash.

Good Luck!
[Epic 4G General] 2nice79:
Yeah i wiped 3x3, so idk. I mean it worked fine for a day or 2. And then i started gettiing fcs. This happened once where it was going beyond email. I was getting fcs to google framework and phone fcs.

Then I wiped it all and tried to start off fresh while being extra careful as to following the steps because I had a better idea what i was doing. Thank you all for the input and an extra thanks to randomking. I think at this point i am going to put phoenix on there and keep my eyes open for more randomroms to get updated/released.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
I've been running Hawk v2 since it came out; I have a great experience running this rom. no force closes (usually those come from restoring data, bad idea) I have had a random reboot here or there, but that is on pretty much any leak. I just reboot my phone in once a day and haven't had a reboot since doing that.
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
I had a similar experiance. I ran it for 2 days and loved it! The Google frameworks issues. Cleared and reflased again had Google frameworks issues. I really wish someone explained what causes that because I loved the way my phone responded with that rom. I would give it another shot if someone suggested a fix.
[Epic 4G General] rompnit:
It supports it, but I tried everything and still couldn't stop the email from "FC"s. Reflashed, uninstalled the apk, reinstalled, etc, etc... The email would FC every time I checked a new message.

Went back to "HAWK" after 2 days of frustration trying to figure it out... :confused:
[Epic 4G General] mctaino:
Well I must say that I have also experienced FC issues with google framework. I experienced those issues when replacing batteries and taking the battery out before the phone was completely off. I'm now testing other rooms since a few people said I should of tried a few more rooms before calling hawk the best. So far from all the other roms, The only one I had great success with has been [ERA][ROM][EH06] Copy & Paste ROM Stock Cyan v1.1 (Updated 9/2).

You can find this rom below. What I can say about this one so far no FC's, this rom is also solid with battery, overall it has been fairly good.

[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
Ok I gave Random Rom Hawk a second try. My first attempt worked great for a day and a half then it was Google frameworks error after error...I flashed the rom again and same thing in a day. Went back to a previous rom just depressed because Hawk while it worked was awesome. So I read and read the development strand and decided to give it another shot. This time I flashed the rom also ran the Ram control thread, then flashed the journaling zip, and uninstalled the gtalk/video app that came with the rom. 4 days everything sweet smooth and great! I am using eh06 modem and great signal and GPS locks instantly. No fc at all!!! Great job!
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
I do think, the gtalk is the culprit... If I can confirm, I'll be removing it.

I can back this hard, man. This is the first rom on this phone that I have been very happy with. No problems, ever. The phone occasionally reboots, but that doesn't affect anything. Battery life is 1 day+, gps is super quick and stable, and the phone operates flawlessly.
[Epic 4G General] Ragnar:
RandomKing, I flashed Hawk on my wife's Epic also removing the gtalk app and again 100% success! Not one fc or a single reboot. I would agree it has to be the gtalk app.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] edokassiah:
heres what i did when i couldnt get it to work

make sure ur rooted

download this

http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip

extract the update.zip and ur gonna look for a file called recovery.bin

and get ahold of root explorer

place the recovery.bin on ur sd card and remember where its at

go into root explorer and find it and long press it and hit copy then go into the phone using root explorer and go into /system/bin and paste it dont delete anything or move files just overwrite it

then download this

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12704578/sk4...eclickroot.zip

and unzip it on your computer make sure u unzip it if not it wont work

and double click run.bat and let it do its thing and itll reboot into CWM for you and go into install packages or something and voila

make sure you have usb debugging enabled

and id flash

wipe dalvik

check mounts

reboot

im pretty sure youre okay you can keep on going make sure you check your mounts before and after flashing
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Cassidywilson:
I select mounts and storage... and the only option is mount usb storage. I can't select a .zip from the sdcard.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
thats really weird.... i dont know whats going on here?

there should be alot more under mounts and storage and the install zip should have 4 options in it!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Cassidywilson:
Right lol that's why I'm confused. Before I flashed the rom cwm worked fine. Should I go back to stock and reinstall everything? Or is there a way to reinstall cwm somehow?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
youre on a custom rom right now?

then you should have a red recovery?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Cassidywilson:
Should I?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tylermaciaszek:
if youre on a custom rom it should be red already!

i think you should just odin then restart the process!

Hope this helps

Ok, this will be really confusing but I will do my best to guide you through step by step. I had the same issue and reflashed like literally 15 times before I got it figured out. So, I hope this helps.

#1: Download odin an reflash stock rom from link here. You will have to select repartition and unselect the /reset something or other. Load the pit file into its appropriate slot and the stock rom into pda slot. Make sure you follow the instructions in the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186954

#2: Root with Superoneclick from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1100513

#3: Download just the recovery file from this link (not the update.zip) and move it to /system/bin using root explorer, or however you choose to, to overwrite the existing file. Make sure you unzip the file first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124453

#4:Redownload your rom and put it on the root of your sd card

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158250

#5: Download THIS version of CWM and it should fix the sd card mounting issues. Download the attached file (cwm3xx.zip), not the download link (the download link is a stock rom), and rename it update.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. Then reboot into stock recovery and click reinstall packages and there is your cwm (orange version)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126631

#6:To flash your rom follow the EXACT instructions listed in this link. including the *wipe data* and *mount* instructions.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15432625&postcount=2

#7: When you are done flashing DO NOT REBOOT YET. Wipe cache and dalvik cache, and check to make sure the mounts are correct and they look like this

UNMOUNT CACHE

MOUNT DATA

UNMOUNT SDCARD

UNMOUNT SYSTEM

before you reboot. When it reboots you will hear a female voice apparently referred to as "Linda?" and it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for your phone to boot. It will stay on the sidekick screen and give you vocal updates. This is normal. wait until the phone boots up completly, wait 5 minutes and dont use, then restart your phone just to be on the safe side.

And your done! lol, I know it's a lot but this is what I did and it worked for me. Also, I would make sure you have a full battery before you start. The whole process take like half of the battery life. Anyways, goodluck and hope it works for you!

Did u take the recovery zip extract the recovery file inside and paste it in system/bin using root explorer???? Not the update.zip but the recovery zip
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kronix26:
Yes I did. But I was confused because when I extracted the recovery.zip, the icon for the extracted file was like a white page, when I clicked on it, it asked me the program I wanted to open it up with, so I don't know. This is the 1st time I'm doing this with a phone but I followed the instructions and also JDMboy1188's tutorial on utube and he used this guide also. When I go to root explorer system/bin, the recovery file is there.:(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Gplayjay:
Its gonna be a white page when u extract it from the recovery.zip........ u move that file to system/bin and paste it then it will ask if u want to overwrite click yes (if it says u cannot paste because system is read only then on the top right corner theres a grey box that says mount/rw click that and then press paste)

Thanks sduvick. I really don't know what mount is nor if my sdcard is partitioned. I know nothing about phones, could u tell me how can I find out?
