If you are running on an EXT4 ROM, you can keep your EXT4 file system and still run it as long as the ROM's you will be running support the EXT4 file system. Some ROM's (mainly stock ones) will run on RFS, if that is the case, you will either need to ODIN to get back to a stock RFS system or use Chris41g's EXT42RFS as his file will convert your filesystems to back RFS as well, or if ur on RFS and want to go to EXT4 just flash his alternate file RFS2EXT4. Just make sure the ROM you will be running afterwards does support the file system u will be running. As far as your nandroid question goes, nandroid backup your whole setup, including the file system, so you should be able to nandroid and jump around from EXT4 to RFS easily.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpeepers:
I flashed v1 last night and now see there is a v2. Is it worth upgrading?

Thanks,

.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Worth the upgrade. Check the changelog.

You might want til overscroll, crt and chris41g's eh17plus krnel is incorporated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
Hmmm, maybe that will be out later today...
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
So far so good after 3/4 of a day. Only issue is a desktop environment reboot when a call came in. It never rang just rebooted and had a missed call notification and google voice message when it finished coming back. Wasn't a complete reboot either.

This next one isn't a problem, just changed behaviour, but this EH17 based ROM paired with the EH17 modem, I am not able to download either type of GPS aiding data from GPS Aids V3. But I'm getting good solid GPS fixes very quickly even though GPS Aids shows everything as gray in the satellite view. I'm curious if this is just my install doing it or whether it is something happening to everyone using this ROM, modem or combination of the two.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
I'm almost 24 hours in and I've noticed 2 random reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
Ok.. I was wondering because I manually stripped it down just a touch further using adb shell after flashing it just because there are a few things like Sprint visual voice mail I don't use that run as services. Some others I found as just not needed. If I was having odd problems that no one else was having I can always put them back.

These are the ones I stripped:

Dlna.apk (allshare app)

DrmProvider.apk (DRM parts of the video streamer)

DrmUA.apk (DRM parts of the video streamer)

SisoDrmProvider.apk (DRM parts of the video streamer)

TN6.2-sprint-handset-6201501.apk (Telenav)

vtt-sprint.apk (Sprint voicemail)

Email.apk (generic email app)

I might also manually remove the google apps from mine also because I think as soon as they get a version or so behind and you do an update, you have the ROM version on the phone still in system/app (unless you manually delete it with adb or something) and the new version also in data/app.

Some other posts seem to say that SisoDrmProvider.apk causes some hiccups listening to music or watching stuff. My mp3's are playing fine and my Angry Beavers collection plays back fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
This is a very good idea. By installing the google apps manually, this forces the very most latest version of the most important apps. And the main reason I had to find something other than Frozen Syndicate is cause something google kept crashing every time I tried to make a call or got an sms or voicemail.

Is this going to be in the version 3? When will that be available?

gps with leaked roms

Has anyone tried using gps. I tried many of the leaked firmware roms and none seemed to have good gps support. Please tell me that gps works for more than ten minutes,before gps signal lost. If so I will put this on my phone tonight. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
Yes I've used it. Normally I use Google's Navigate. But since this ROM had TeleNav, I tried that yesterday and was very pleased. It's essentially the same thing as Navigate, but more polished. It worked well for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
I'm driving quite a bit today and no problems with gps. I'm very pleased so far. I've also had trouble with gps on every other rom I've tried.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
Hey thanks I will have to try this now for sure. I gave james and getut a thanks for a quick response.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
Do I need to convert to rfs . Currently I am on srf 1.2. What are the steps for install? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
No need to convert to rfs if you do one extra step which is to download the EH17 ext4 kernel from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1245491

Since you are already on a modded ROM you are probably already on clockworkmod recovery... everyone refers to it as just cwm. Make sure it is the latest one from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 which is 3.1.0.1 purple.

The optional first step but may be necessary to get best gps functionality with this ROM is to odin the modem file for EH17. Get the modem file, the copy of odin thats needed to run on a windows PC and instructions on how to do it in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123103

So here are steps for this ROM and EXT4 support:

1) make sure cwm is newest

2) put this ROM and the kernel from above on your SD card

3) boot into cwm

3) do the wipe/factory reset 3x, then ALSO wipe cache and dalvik cache

4) choose flash from sd card option in cwm, choose the ROM file you downloaded and put on the SD... flash it

5) Then WITHOUT EXITING cwm, do the same thing for the kernel file you downloaded and put on the sd card.

6) Reboot and enjoy the leanest EH17 goodness out yet.

I hope typing that out helps you... I think video instructions are great as an AID to typed instructions but the typed stuff just makes more sense.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
Thanks again for a little more support . Another thanks for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
Well I am sad to say that gps loses signal after ten minutes with this rom also . I think this is a problem for all the leaked version roms. I quess back to sfr 1.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
I'd suggest investigating further. I used the GPS on this ROM traveling almost an hour to my destination and an hour back. It works better than my TomTom.

If you're finding that you loose a GPS signal after 10 minutes on multiple ROM's, I'd start looking at the hardware. Go back to stock and test out your GPS and if you have still have a problem do a warranty exchange.

I'm not having your problem. The GPS works well for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
Another possibility could be your modem. I use both the GPS chip and the wireless networks for GPS. I'm not sure, but if you have the wrong modem, that may or may not be affecting the use of wireless networks, which could be contributing to your loss of signal.

Just a thought.
[Epic 4G Android Development] st0l3n:
I have to say this is a really good rom. Simple but efficient none the less. No bloatware and very tasteful. I like that you keep things stock, and everything seems to work fine for me. I appreciate the effort, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
I agree. This is a very clean simple effective ROM that works very well. I do experience random reboots but it's only happened three times that I know of and I know the developer is removing some unnecessary services that may be causing the problem. I'm looking forward to the next version.

There was one app in Syndicate Frozen (SF) that I wouldn't mind being included in this ROM. I've tried to find the name of it but it's not listed in SF's description. It used WiFi to connect to a computer. You start the app, it tells you the IP address to enter into the web browser on your computer. Once you do that, it allows you to transfer files to and from your phone's music, pictures, sd card, videos, etc. etc.. It started with a Y but that's all I can offer. This was nice because it basically cut all cords necessary to work on the phone.

That being said, I'm so impressed with this rom that I'm really only paying attention to this thread waiting for news or updates.

I was very unsatisfied with my phone until this rom came along.

I'm super grateful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
I found it. The name is Kiess Air. It would be really cool if this app was included in this ROM. Not sure if it's possible or not, but it's a great app that cuts the cord.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
Sorry to keep posting. It looks like there is a free app called WiFi File Transfer that does the same thing as Kies Air and works well, if you're looking for this kind of functionality. It's in the Android Market Place.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
This problem seems to be very common with the leaked version roms. I was on the eh17 modem also. This has something to do with the ram leaking . If you watch the ram it always happens when it gets close to 100mb left. Something is not quite right in the gingerbread for the epic. We are on at least our 5th leaked version, each the same issue with gps. When I am on the stock 2.2 or any 2.2 based roms gps works. Otherwise I might think that it was a hardware issue. Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
Very odd indeed. As I said, I'm not having this problem and I use the gps as my primary gps device.

In fact, I took a TomTom suction cup and glued it to an extra back I had from an Epic.

I'm attaching a picture.

I wired a usb cable to the fuse box, ran it up the side paneling, through the roof and down where the rear view mirror is so there's no cable hanging all over the place, and again, it works like a charm.

Only slight problem I've noticed, that even with the phone pulling power from the car, with the gps enabled and it constantly pulling 3G data, and the screen never turning off, it will after a few hours slowly drain the battery. I suppose the 5v it's pulling from the power cable isn't exactly enough to power the phone with all those demands.

So I just carry an extra battery with me and it's all good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
I like your mount . You must have a spare back plate to your phone also. I don't know if they make one or not but a fast charger would probally work for you. The problem that you have is the standard charger does have enough of a charge rate to match the demand on the battery , that gps takes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigtex06:
How did you install software. Maybe thats were I went wrong. I am trying random rom 2.2 right now and it rocks so far. But I would like a 2.3 rom to work as well for me. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
How did I install this ROM?

First I started installing Syndicate Frozen (SF), but I screwed that all up because I skipped what I thought was an unnecessary step (getting the correct clockwork recovery installed). I updated the Kernel to Genocide2.0 and I couldn't get it to boot out of ClockWork. I had to Odin back to stock because I couldn't boot.

From stock, I followed every single instruction to get SF installed (and updated to the Genocide Kernel) and finally SF booted, and I was really pleased with SF. However it started throwing this annoying error about some google service and this error prevented me from answering my phone while it was ringing, and interfered with text messaging and voice mail. So I started investigating other roms. I found StarskyROM and thought, I'll just try the update. If it doesn't work I'll just Odin back to stock and get to Starsky that way. So from clockwork I did the StarskyROM.zip update. The Starsky ROM took right away and I've been extremely happy with it so far.

If you need more specifics, just let me know. I hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Update out tomorrow. 1% battery mod, crt off, gapps removed and a seperate update.zip for them included. V6 supercharged and custom boot animation. New kernel included as well. Chris41gs eh17+. Also removing launcher pro as it causes mny redraws and is slow to boot. Replacing with zeam.

Edit: also included will be ext4 and rfs versions. Some people prefer rfs over ext4 for its lack of potential data loss.

Also, would you guys utilize an odin version of this rom for quick flashing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
This rom will evolve as leaks are released. Hopefully ram leakage and gps issues will be fixed by samsprint. Thank you all for the hundreds of downloads. :) its great to finaly contribute something worthwhile to this beautiful community of ours. Love and respect to you all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaounit:
There's a fix for launcher pro redraw.

Open terminal. Type Su. type echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >> /data/local.prop

Should create a local.prop file in your data folder
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
hmmm...i tried this fix only to get a "permission denied" message :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Update pushed to tomorrow morning. Work gets in the way of deving. :)

Can't wait for source so we can get more goodness
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Is the update gonna be a stock rom like the first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, where's that Black version? I have been waiting for that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phirewire110:
I was running the EH17 Hurricane rom but as the updates progressed the rom was straying away from stock look.

I like the stock look and should have the ability to flash themes if we want another look, not have to flash a rom that the dev thinks looks good.

I like the route this rom is going.

I like the fact that the dev has given us a choice between file systems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
The black theme will be released tomorrow. Its simply my minimal black theme :) ill post links in the op once its ported.

Ty all for your kind words.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Thanks for the heads up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
ROM UPDATE POSTPONED UNTIL KERNEL FIX.

no point in updating until the eh17+ kernel is fixed.

patience :]
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
I think the updated kernel is up
[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
Has anyone experience there being hotter when downloading and the downloads are slower then normal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
curious

I'm inquiring about the update. My phone is rebooting all the time now. Not sure what is going on, but I'm going to need to do something soon.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Read two posts above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
Is the updated EH17+ kernel that was posted not fixed? I am confused.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
From what I have read, I don't think its working right for everyone...yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
Hmm that's no good
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
So now my screen is becoming unresponsive. If there's no update coming, I'm going to have to move on. Unfortunate that there's no real information coming out about when the next update is coming. I hope we get some credible information soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
You're ridiculous. Update is coming when the eh17+ kernel is fixed. Til then there's no point. Read more before posting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
I've read every single post on this forum. Until the kernel is fixed, working on the ROM is pointless? To me, that's pretty clear there's no real information on when the next update is coming.

Sorry if I offended you.

But I'm moving on now for sure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
I can't incorporate tye tweeks I want to without a custom kernel... so .... um...yeah
[Epic 4G Android Development] jameskever:
My phone has gone completely berserk on this ROM. It's getting worse with each passing day. I was never trying to be rude. I was however trying to figure out if I should just be patient or if I have to make other arrangements.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
This rom with the original modded eh17 kernel actually works perfect for me. Haven't updated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] uabassguy:
I have that happen even on the stock EH17 from time to time. Things I use to avoid it are turning Journaling on (not sure if it's on by default in this rom, I'm just researching before I consider upgrading my stock eh17) and making sure i shut the phone down completely before doing a battery pull(unless its just frozen and I have no choice) If I were you I'd backup apks, clear dalvik/data and just reflash, you may have corrupted data due to too many reboots ESPECIALLY if journaling is off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonjohn1:
So far, this is the most stable rom I've used in the last 6 months. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Update coming soon :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
wow, you guys are seriously arguing with the dev?

please show some respect.

let me know if you need any help from me man, im pretty bored lately.

and i may be able to help you with this, that is if you want/need it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
looking forward to it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Does the update have your theme yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Thanks, Kevin.

I wish I could help- the devs in our community are the best.

Has anyone tried this with the new Nubekernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Next version of this rom will contain the nubernel pending permission from nubecoder
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
UPDATE IN OP! Happy Flashing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Awesome! Will flash and report back :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ConfusingCurve:
I dont know if this was asked already but is this ROM RFS originally? I would like to go to EXT4 if this isnt already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
you should be able to run this on an EXT4 file system. Nubecoder's Nubernel GB kernel (Which is included with this ROM) has the EXT4 modules built in. Been running all day and havent had a problem thus far, really snappy, no reboots :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ConfusingCurve:
I love this ROM, but it is a memory-hog.

The only thinks I think should be added to this ROM would be a 1% battery mod, the lock screens(thats already in the process), a nice over scroll to go with a good theme. But god this ROM rocks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Hopefully once I get ciq removed some of this ram leakage will be fixed. A fix for now would be to use the v6 supercharger script.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
Could you upload some screenshots please.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Updated OP with screenies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
I thought it was supposed to have a black theme. Or is that version coming after CIQ is removed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Yeah, no sense in making a theme, then remaking it for no-CIQ. Also, the theme will be a seperate flashable .zip. I'm keeping this ROM as minimally changed looks wise as possible, so that the user can customize as they see fit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ConfusingCurve:
Okay, after using he HoneyComb Fusion Explosion Theme, I experienced problem with calls. Id talk for a while then my phone would semi-reboot, dropping the call. But, the mic would stay on and you could hear it hum! So, his isn't a probelm with the ROM becuase it only happens with that theme, could be the AIO Mod or Maddogins
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
How is GPS on this? Currently with CM7 I can lock 10/10 and I use it alot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
I am indoors and my gps locked in less than 30 seconds(more like in 10 seconds!!!) so it works pretty good here. :D :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I tried this rom for a while and for some reason it was super slow
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Could you tell me what exactly was slow, or tell me what your battery usage said?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Update Coming Tomorrow with some Adrenaline Speed tweaks, build.prop tweaks and more.

Rom is freaking snappy right now. Sososososo snappy. Links in the morning!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Yeah when I flashed it I was on a full charge. I didnt check the battery once I restored back to CM7. Basically it was really choppy for me scrolling the menus and stuff. I downloaded GO Launcher too and it was also slow. Opening ES File manager seemed to really take a long time as did installing apps from the SD card. Opening the market and scrolling the pages etc... Maybe I got a bad flash but I needed to leave so I had to go back. I'm hoping for a kernel that will allow us to run this ROM and CM7 both together cause the couple of bugs in CM7 are beginning to be a problem. I do use video recording and playback and cant on CM7 and CM7 also wont allow certain apps to run. MIUI camera and KiesAir for example. I have a need for both :/

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

I also meant to ask if this ROM uses the Fascinate GPS files?

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Should I wait for the update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Yes, I'll have it up in the morning. Been testing it all day. Things are looking pretty freaking sweet. :]
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Nice... I'll check back in the A.M. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
starskyROM beta v2 link now live.

happy flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Downloading now!

**Update** Seems great but having USB / SD connect issues. Open file mgr and open gallery or quickpic and get nothing but a blank black screen.

**Update 2** Seems to definitely be the ROM. Went back to CM7 and no SD card issues at all. :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
I haven't experienced that at all. Can anyone else recreate this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Yeah I went back to CM7 and have been fooling with it and no SD issue at all. Note, I tried this ROM both stock and themed and had the exact same issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
I have tried to recreate the problem, but the rom is working great here smooth as butter LOL!!!

I have yet to see any usb or sd card mount issues, both mount just fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Im going to try formatting my SD and re-flashing
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Awesome to hear, Jesse! Keep me up to date on how it holds up for you, and if you have any suggestions let me know!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
starsky! let me know when youre free. i wanna help you with an update

EI22 is here too!.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Probably not until Friday. :\ can't believe official gb is out!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Everything seems ok now except the GPS icon doesnt go away when you turn off GPS. Had to reboot the phone to get it to go away
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
OP Updated with ROM Update. Big update! EI22, CiQ Removed, New Tweaks, ZipAligned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:

On ext4 tegrak overclocked only to 1.3 Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Really smooth ROM. Loving it so far, only problem I've had so far is the Phone.apk (dialertab.apk or something along those lines to be more specific) keeps FC on me. Booted to CWM, formatted cache, data, and system, re-flashed, same problem.

Other than that, I have 3 suggestions that you may already have planned for future release, but here they are

1)include updated Market

2)add CRT off animation

3)battery % mod

Other than that, this ROM is smooth as butter :) thanks Starsky
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
good update man!

=]
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Down with CIQ! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
yes!! its gone from our rom too lol. thanks for getting that out so fast k0.

youre still the man.
