I've had one random reboot, which froyo wasn't immune from, signal seems fine, and I've had no sync issues.

And again, you're free to run whatever you want, I'm only "arguing" about it because there are other people that read this. For mostly the same reasons that if crawrj baked gingerbread cookies that 99% of people thought were delicious, save for 1 or 2 people that thought they were terrible, I'd want to find out if there was a legit concern we/he could help with, or if you covered them in ketchup before complaining they tasted terrible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Anything covered in ketchup is automatically delicious.

just a random question....but...

is there a compatible rfs2ext4.zip for eh06 yet? i remember using one for ef02...then when i moved up to eg22 there was a seperate .zip that had been modified for it...

Has anyone noticed while running the hotspot for long periods of time phone gets real hot and kills battery very quickly
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I have been using Hotspot since the day this phone came out. It does make the phone warm and is definately not the most battery efficient
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
I also notice that just doing something like refreshing a page it takes away 1% of the battery away unless I need to calibrate it again or something?

is anyone having a problem with gallery loading their photos? It wont do this for me...

New photos show but old photos wont
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
I am not seeing that problem. Old and new photos are working for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
dumb qtn but search didnt bring up anything also..

whats the diff b/w deodex and odex?? which one should i get provded I rooted on ACS.

Edit: ok google gave some info.. basically for themeing I need deodex.. but if I am not interested in applying themes.. it should technically not matter which one i get right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snazarian:
So does anyone else have an opinion on EHO6? Improvements over EG22?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mastarifla:
My flashing seems to be taking an extremely long time at the FACTORYFS stage, in odin the green bar is roughly at 75%, it has stayed here for quite some time and I was wondering if this was normal. Thanks again for your dedication and support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] NoHousePhone:
I would go with with deodex. You can use the native hotspot hack which is really useful. So its not only for theming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NoHousePhone:
I had to do it twice. Mine I think said failed at first. I did a battery pull and odin again. I don't know if that is you issue. If you do decide to do the battery pull and try to re odin I am not responsible for bricks. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mastarifla:
Ahh I think it bricked... it wont power on now, well that really sucks... If the phone is bricked do I have to pay a repair/replacement fee? Or do I just have to buy a whole new phone outright?

Learn from my mistakes, do NOT pull out the usb while it is loading even if you dont think it is updating, even after 30 min and nothing happens, otherwise you could brick your phone :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] NoHousePhone:
Try to odin again. start odin then put phone in download mode and attach.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
It is for themes and mods. So if you aren't going to theme or add mods like 8 locks or the all in one or anything than you don't need it. So yes it would not matter which one you choose. But I would say deodex in case you change your mind. That way you will be setup already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
This is going to be amazing when there are some kernel mods available.

Been using this for a few days with the AIO mod and it's working great. All radios work well, 4G better than ever. I was also able to update my PRL with no issues.

The only thing I haven't been able to do (since I was on Hawk, actually) is log in to the Amazon App Store. I keep getting the message that there is a temporary problem and I should try again in a few moments. It's been saying that since last Friday.:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Random reboots now at least once or twice a day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
I've had one random reboot in three days. GPS still uses too few sats. Lock is quick, but accuracy is too high. Swype is terrible--so many mispelled words. Battery life sucks!!! If it doesn't get better, I'll have to go back to FROYO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
That is odd. Wonder what in Hawk would stop that. I use it every day on the stock version with no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
3 random reboots today. I'm ready to go back to Froyo too. It's a little annoying at this point. Thought this would stop after the EF problems but I guess not
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I figured it out. Nothing to do with the ROM. It wouldn't let me log in while I was already logged in on my EVO- using the same Amazon acct. Duh.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Just thought I'd throw this out there. I was having reboots with this also, till I flashed a theme, then they stopped completely. Haven't had even a single one since installing a theme going on days now worth of up time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NoHousePhone:
I had 2 reboots. It was back to back. That is a first for me. I can go over a day without a re boot. Maybe my phone is trying to catch up on the re boots :)

Maybe its me but I notice that battery life is much better when my wifi is on instead of 3g.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Digglez:
So I'm noticed that on my browser when I hit the back button on my epic it takes me back to google search ... kind of a bumer I like the stock browser

[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
Make mine 2 now. Phone just sitting there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andygallo:
Mine started rebooting as well, 2-3 times a day, also just sitting there.

These are the mods I had on this ROM:

Stock 8 Locks

AIO mod

Gtalk Video 1.32

Not sure if it was the mods or the deodex ROM, but I don't recall any reboots before I tried out 8 Locks/AIO.

Just to be safe, I switched over to crawrj's stock odexed EH06 last night with odex hotspot hack and gtalk video. So far it's been good, but we'll see how it goes over the next few days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
I don't recall reboots before AIO either, and now they're frequent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crawrj:
Not sure what the issues could be but I have been using this and the AIO with a customized version of maddoggins clean blue and have had no reboots. I switched to Shanes Honeycomb theme about two days ago and haven't had any reboots on that either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've had two random reboots today after not having any for the first few days of use.

This co-coincided with setting up a non-Gmail email account on my phone.

I have no idea if the two are related, only that I'd never had a random reboot with any previous EH06 ROM (or EG22, for that matter) and have had two (maybe three) today.

I like having this account set up this way (a POP3 email account that I use for a 2nd job), but don't need it bad enough to put up with the reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NoHousePhone:
Interesting. I will look that up. So I just need to flash does? Would that conflict with the native hot spot hack?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
EDIT: I was hoping to find just a browser fix, but it's worth it to me, even if I have to start fresh and lose all the work I just finished.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
Samsung putting everything in the log bothered me too, until I noticed you can easily sort it. Now, I see it as a great feature. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I'm still having no reboots using the same theme flashed over this .tar ever since flashing the theme
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
I am using the same theme and started having reboots yesterday. I had about three in an hour and now for the last few have not had any. I am using the EG22 modem. Also does anyone know why Launcher Pro always FC on reboot or when you first start your phone. It has done this to me on Froyo SF1.2 GB all releases so far, or is it just me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
Okay, It's been forever since I've used ODIN for anything but a modem so forgive me if this questions sounds ridiculous, but is it supposed to take a long time for the factoryfs.rfs part? My phone has been continuously hanging at that--I've tried using 1.61 and the newer version of ODIN, I've tried with & without the .pit file, but every time it gets there it just chills. The little blue bar pops up on the downloading screen but it only makes a little bit of progress and then stops. Am I just impatient? That's very possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Never had that problem with launcherpro but I either use stock or build my own roms, and never use ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] KaliS-Pugilist:
i had started having the same issue with restarts and freezing up. so i went back and did it over. used odin to flash the rom, and also flashed the sculpted v2 theme, and used titanium pro (primarily) & my backup pro to put SOME of my apps back. so far things are looking good and no issues. im gonna wait a few days and maybe add a couple more apps every few days to see if they cause the issue. i think that the way i did things before (advanced data restore from CWM of an old ROM backup) is what may have caused the issues.

anyways, im a happy camper...for right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I want a pair of those rose colored glasses.

It would be a great feature if I could sort/filter it so that I could see all calls & NO SMS, or just NEW/Unread SMS. But as it is, it's just clumsy and bloated. Nonetheless, I like the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
You should really post this in the thread that deals with the flashable zip. This thread is about issues when you have flashed the ROM using ODIN and the tar file.

Similar issues, but not all the same.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I know I've seen some stuff about this, but don't remember where.

Is there an easy way to remove some of the apps installed with the ROM?

In particular, I want to remove the Email app and a few others.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkAngel:
Wanted to let people know have been running this for a week now and it's running perfectly. No FC's, touch screen smooth and fast, gps locks quickly and on several Sat's, all works that I had before. Loving this one. Thanks again!

[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
Still getting some random reboots. Today I tried GPS for the first time and it locked up after about 2 minutes the first time and about 5 minutes the second time. It just loses the sat. Any fixes for GPS yet other than go to a non Samsung phone. GPS stunk on my wife's Moment also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
I ran this through odin twice but i keep getting the eg22 modem.. Anybody know what gives? I even reverted back to completely stock Ec05 but still nada,
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Well, I went almost 24 hours after turning off the stock Email program (not uninstalling) before I got my first random reboot.

I actually saw it happen this time. I was playing Words with Friends when the phone froze after a turn. The screen was black (after the ad) just as it was going back to the normal screen. I pressed the power button and then saw the SAMSUNG boot screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
It says you don't have to flash the modem, but I still do it. Just do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dradran:
My back button does not work with the default browser When I Google search hitting the back button will take me back to the search no matter how many webpages past the search I am.

If I use the Internet application, I hit the back button and it takes me back to the home screen. When I reopen the Internet application it starts me off at my homepage.

I used ODIN 1.85 and flashed from EC05. I also cleared all personal data and both caches using the 3 finger salute.

Flashing back to EC05, the back button works. Flashing to this ROM, it does not work on the default browser.

I d/led Dolphin and it works fine there.

Thanks for your work on GB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
Did you remove the SD card as recommended? That's what helped mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
I'm not getting reboots but once a day or two days. I don't mind them too bad since it starts right back up. What's bothering me though is the losing of GPS signal in GNav that can only be fixed with a reboot. It lasted for a few hours then lost the signal. Next one lasted about half an hour then down to 15-20 minutes. Then yesterday, it lasted about 40 miles then almost two hours until shortly after I made a comment that it hadn't lost the signal in a while-- BOOM gone. But I was getting accuracy of 6 ft when it was working (using just 2 of 8-10 sats)
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
well, i finally got it working and all seemed fine until the random reboots started which is understandable since this gb is a leak anyways but I get these 3 reboots in a row and bam all my widgets get unloaded and I have to apply them again.. Anybody else have this issue? other then this everything works great.

I got the 8 lock change, running deodexed eh06 on ext4. Same thing happened on rfs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I've been getting more and more of the reboots.

I think I'm going to try another ROM until this gets figured out.

If I didn't change anything after flashing this ROM and the EH06plus modem, is my EPIC using RFS now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
I think most of the reboot go away when I flashed the eh06+ kernel...however I get a lot of ram memory leaks with apps staying open even when I exit them

Fixed:: use v6 supercharged 9 appears to have salvage the lost ram leaks
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
type mount in terminal and it will tell you whether youre on rfs or ext

Attention: crawrj ... EH17 now available via samfirmware.com! If you wanted to like, you know, do the same thing with EH17 that you did with EH06, that would be pretty awesome :). Thanks for all your work!

I just now saw that it was released so I am working on it now. Still downloading actually so hope to have it up soon.

[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
I haven't been around for a while and could not quickly get up to date despite going through thread after thread here. I would appreciate some advice and clarification.

First, you guys are saying that GB won't be available for Vibrant, but this article clearly states that it is already available:

“update news! the android 2.3 gingerbread update for the samsung galaxy S vibrant is good to go. connect to samsung kies to hook it up.”

Could you please clarify? The problem is that I downloaded Keys 2.0, but my phone, which is 2.1 and rooted (nothing else done, no roms, etc), is not being recognized. Keys says that my phone isn't supported.

Could you guys please clarify what is really going on in terms of 2.3? Also, how can I get the update? Assuming that the article is false, many here say that 2.3 roms are battery hogs and it looks like I would have to update to 2.2 and then root it. If so, I'd appreciate a link to a pure 2.2 to be installed via Odin. Reading all these threads doesn't convince me that getting a rom, a modem, or a kernel really does that much to improve our phones.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Thats for the Bell/ Virgin Mobile Vibrant theres a difference ya know...
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
I thought that the phone is the same so it wouldn't matter or perhaps the devs could use it to create a better ROM. If not, I guess the situation is even worse because Samsung actually released the update for Vibrant but T-mobile is refusing to allow users to have it! Clusterf*ck. Steve Jobs was right about android when he talked about market fractionization last year. Oh well.

Ok, well given the bad news, I would appreciate some help from those of you who have flashed your phones to hell and back. I know there are different ROMs etc with different features. I don't use my phone heavily. Actually, the main feature I care about is 1.Good GPS and 2.Good battery life. I go on long cycling trips and my phone is the only thing I use to track my stats (sometimes five hours or longer).

Based on this info, could you guys tell me if upgrading to Android 2.2 be good enough or do any of the ROMs, kernels, and modems provide a clear advantage over stock 2.2? If so, could you recommend a few? Right now my phone is in a very bad shape - the GPS is often dying in mountains and the battery doesn't last much. At this point I have to upgrade just to clean up my phone, especially since it's not clear if/when 2.3 will be released. I am hoping that at least 2.2 should be very stable by now.
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
only thing in common is the name and the fact that they are both Galaxy S series phones, the canadian bell Vibrant is different hardware then our Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I'd say go with something stable such as Bionix 1.3.1 or Trigger 3.2. If you wanna go with 2.2.1 go with a Darky ROM's port or Bi- Winning 3. All good ROMS I'd recommended. Regardless that's what I prefer pperhaps just play around with all types of ROM's you may like something else its not for me to decide.
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
i would suggest cm7 if u like gb its almost fully functitioning except gps is weak
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
Would you guys say that you have seen significant performance improvements (~30% or more) of ROMs over rooted stock 2.2? If so, have you also seen significant improvements by adding a kernel and/or a modem?

I know that it's not supposed to be too hard to flash and find out for myself, but I have never flashed anything and evaluating all the different combos can be quiet time consuming. Given that I work and study so much I barely have enough time to date, I was hoping that I could get some succinct advice that will cut my Android pains in half. I have read the thread about different modems and know that something like KB5 is a pretty good modem (still have no idea what it is or where do you get it and how you flash it); however, that thread missed one key comparison - the actual performance and battery improvement of a given modem (and even a kernel) over stock 2.2/2.3 or even over a ROM like Bionix. I'd appreciate any info/links regarding this.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] younix258:
Stop writing walls of text for no reason ... kernel will make your phone faster, particularly if you enable voodoo lagfix (helluvah lot faster >30% over stock)... modem will not make it faster but may make your data connection faster and battery last longer as well as morr signal ... look for the modem page for dl link....

Now go flash a rom!! All the roms here are amazing and huge improvements over stock, as are the kernels. Suggestions??? Print out all the names, put em on notecards and throw a dart... flash whatever you hit.

[Vibrant General] dublued:
None of the Gingerbread roms are anywhere near where some of the Froyo roms are.

Team Whiskey Bionix 1.3.1 is the best I've used. NextGen V2 isnt' bad either. I just tried Simply Honey 5 RC1 and CM7 nightly #84. Out of the 4 roms I just listed, I flashed back to Bionix 1.3.1. It has the best speed and is the most stable I've ever used.

If you don't have the time to read about flashing your phone, I would suggest you either not do it or pay someone to do it for you. Set aside 2-3 hours if you want it done properly otherwise say goodbye to your phone.
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
I am in SoCal too and wouldn't mind paying someone to do it for me. The problem is then a whole other set of headaches: how do you trust someone to get hold of your private info? What about doing a good job? Arranging a pickup/dropoff, etc, etc. Also have no idea how much people charge for this service. Expensive enough and it might just be worth it to get a new phone, especially after I sell the Vibrant. Maybe that's what many of us need to do.
[Vibrant General] younix258:
Im sure you can find someone nearby thatll do it as a favor and let you watch... problem solved (:

[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I would never pay anyone to flash anything for me. Its a simple process.

To figure out what ROM's go good with what Modem I would go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959088 and a good kernel would be Bali or SuperDragonModz both great.
[Vibrant General] mattb3:
I recommend listening to some of the other folks in the thread and flash bionix 1.3.1. The stock kernel is fine, as is the modem it ships with. Battery life will be as good as just about anything else.

If you really want to flash a custom kernel, go with Bali 1.8.8. Battery life will be similar, but that kernel has some additional features like voodoo sound, which uses the audio hardware more effectively. If that doesn't seem like something you care about I wouldn't worry about it.

The only catch is that you will need to flash bionix through CWM recovery, there are no prepackaged odin files that I am aware of. There are numerous threads to help you getting CWM installed, just check out the stickies.

Don't pay anyone, if your still not comfortable flashing anything, but you still really want to, PM me and I'll help you through it.
[Vibrant General] Excelsius:
Thank you so much for the more precise advice. That's exactly what I needed. It's not that I want to upgrade, but rather that I have to because my phone has become unstable. It freezes almost every time I open Voice or Maps, among other problems.

So I will get the Bionix 1.3.1 and worry about Bali 1.8.8 at a later time. I came across this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925400

Is it the guide for CWM? My phone is rooted (ODIN) and has paid version of Root Explorer and BusyBox. I was wondering if I still have to install SuperOneClick or if my root is fine already.

By the way, I'd appreciate a link to some guides that you guys have used to install your Bionix. I read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732458, but the CWM and Rom Manager points are moot. Like I don't know if installing Rom Manager already includes CWM with it. Here are the steps:

Installation instructions:

1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.

2.Flash Recovery.

3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.

4.Accept the Superuser prompt.

5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.

6.Watch the backup go!

If this is it, then I'll just do it (after I do a nandroid backup, which will hopefully backup all my paid applications).
