I am experiencing this same issue.... it HAS to be the rom. Because my phone was flawless before. And just so you know, your phone is charging, the battery meter just doesnt show up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Not sure if this is the ROM but i noticed that simple applications dont end after i go to home screen like messaging and etc... im not sure if its just this ROM or 2.3

(GingerBread).

AND GPS is quite bad it laggs intensively and when 4g is connected 4g keeps getting disconnected and re connected not sure if its coverage or just GB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
I'm not sure why, but no matter which overclocking app I download, its says that my cpus max frequency is 10000. It completely takes out the voltages tab in voltage overclock, so I can't even set permissions. Does this kernel not support overclocking? Will samurai v1.0.4 work with this rom?

Try the samuari kernel.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

same here; try the samurai kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Samurai and nubernel both support overclocking and undervolting
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I am running samurai 1.0.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
youre talking about the way GB handles ram usage?

the supercharger script changes that. i set mine to option 7 and it runs really well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
basically apps don't close unless i manually so yeah i liked how froyo closed em after leaving that app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I am having the same problem. No battery indication or charging when phone is off. Thats 3 so far indicates a problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
same here is this the only rom that haz that issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Known issue. Fixing in 1.5. For a temp fix install nomoarpowah from android market :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Now listed and available fordownload in ROM MANAGER
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Roll out of 1.5 should be today or tomorrow. :) ty all for your reports, testing and support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
A couple more bugs to report. When I try to disable swype, I get an error that continuously pops up

Until I enable it again. The error reads something like android.swype.latin has stopped unexpectedly. I get the same thing after redownloading and reinstalling the rom a few times. Also, swype doesn't save my auto correction preferences after I disable it. When I restart my phone I must reset my preferences.

many times after coming back to my phone after periods of none use, my status bar at the top of my phone will be gone. I have to go into launcher settings, check hide status bar, then uncheck, and it reappears. I must do this several times per day.

And finally, the xda application force closes when I post a reply to a thread, but only if I'm using my phones keyboard. If I just use swype without pulling out my keyboard, it works fine.

On a final note, great rom. This rom is the fastest available right now, well, atleast for my phone it is.

Just installed and wont get out of samsung screen i flashed this, then i also flashed samurais kernel right after?

EDIT: i just re flashed just rom then kernel all good now strange but good, except it destroyed all data huh???

I liked the previous theme better IMO
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
I tried to keep the look of things as stock as possible besides the overscroll and batt % numbers.

You have to flash roms, reboot, then flash kernels.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Well on 1.4 i dint needed to as well as when i was on froyo.

But for the overscroll i didnt really care for the light tint of green and the battery icon the numbers overlap. thats why other than its great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
If you'd like ill send you a modified version with the old theme. Give me an hour or so.

Also expect mods of the theme to be posted on rom manager. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
sweet thanks man no problem take your time. i really appreciate that, your rom is very exponetial with battery life too

Ok. This charging stuff is killing me. Sorry guys. I will have a 1.6 update out asap with everything fixed. Its going to take a rebuild from the ground up so please give me a little bit of time. Sorry about the bug.

1.6 should fix the keyboard and charging.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Take your time man. No hurry. Rom is pretty flawless besides those two issues. I have had a couple random google maps force closes, but I can't be sure if its rom related.

This is minor fix at your leisure. Everything is working fantastic. This is an every day ROM. My stats in ANTuTu and Quadrant have gone way up on this update. Frame rate is up. This phone is fast. Now if Sprint network could catch up to it, it would be nice. Pipe dream Huh...
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
Is BusyBox messed up in this ROM? I have not been able to get OpenVPN to work properly. The TUN support works good, but it doesn't assign my IP address correctly. Apparently it's not able to find the ipconfig/route commands. When I go to the console and look at /system/xbin, the busybox symlinks are there, but they are all broken links because they point to /tmp/busybox, and which does not exist. The /tmp directory doesn't even exist. I tried installing busybox using the "busybox installer" from android market, but it leaves behind all the garbage broken links, and I still haven't been able to get a sane busybox environment working on this ROM. I am about to install a different ROM because of this issue, but I figured I should ask in this thread first... Is anybody else having this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Hey starskyrob. Any idea when your next update will be out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
What all can you do with busybox? Sorry, im a major noob.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Update this weekend. Sorry for the delay. Working a lot this week.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skinnyquiver:
I am on 1.4 version of this rom and sometimes the screen will go black and never come back until i remove the battery

I notice it when I get a phone call and cannot answer :( but it has happened when i did not get a call.

This problem seems to be random so i cannot recreate the issue while collecting logs :(

I am going to upgrade and see if that resolves this problem.

I have customized the rom a little by switching to the go launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
This happened to me when i changed the default kernel to the samurai version . Are you using the stock nubernel kernel that came with the rom, or have you flashed a third party over it?

On a positive note, i am yet to experience that issue on 1.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
BusyBox is a set of UNIX tools (command line tools like ls, mkdir, dmesg, sed, awk, etc...). If you don't ever use the console then you won't even know this stuff exists on your phone. But certain apps like OpenVPN need to run scripts in order to assign an IP address to a network and to change the routing table, so they require BusyBox because it supplies all of the basic tools that do these things.

But as I said in my previous post, BusyBox seems to be completely fubar'd in this ROM. Maybe it will be better in the upcoming version 1.6?

Starskyrob, any comment about busybox?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jesse6749:
No hurry Rob, we are not going anywhere.

Thanks!!!!;)

I cant get this rom to work on my phone. I downloaded 1.6, put on SD card, deleted everything x3, and when It starts up, I get the nubernel logo, then my phone reboots into clockwork mod.

Is this just a patch? Do I have to patch this over 1.5?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
im actually havin the same problem now also cant figure out whats goin on, wiped data cache and dalvik cache 3 times and reflashed still nothing
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Try re-installing StarskyRom 1.5, then flashing 1.6 over it. Im giving that run right now. I have a feeling this is just a patch up. because the file size is relatively way smaller than 1.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
k i just odin'd back to stock, and used oneclickroot with cwm 3.1.0.1, gonna try flashing it with that and see if i get anything illl let u know
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well, if Starsky gets this up tonight, it would be most impressive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
not that it cant be done... just time consuming and most of the devs decided its a waste of time..
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
I agree... do your versioning like this. Instead of biting off a huge chunk and then working towards stable, make your first version of this ROM just bloatware removed, tested and working well, release, then next item.

It will also help us that will likely be using, testing, and reporting to you to find any bugs introduced from one step to the next.

It will also have the side effect of making each step of the process a usable ROM. If someone wants a ROM with less tweaks and closer to stock, just grab one of the earlier but just as stable releases.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
I'm +1 with JC. Minimalistic black is where its at. "Less is more"..

Thanks for this! Will also opine when the big moment comes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jsmcmahon89:

Awesome! /10char
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
I noticed this ROM uses LauncherPro but your theme has been using ADW Launcher--are you going to factor that into the ROM at some point?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
I'm including launcher pro due to the fact that its more lightweight, ill let the community decide and install its own launchers based on its desires. While i plan to release a minimalistic black theme for this rom, i will include it only as a seperate flashable, giving the community the option of customizing. nothing i hate more than a great stable rom with a theme i dont like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tragiquexcomedy:
I'm totally with you on that one--I agree that's a really good way to go about doing it. Naturally I'm going to end up flashing your theme cos it's my favourite but it's a really smart idea to give people that option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
Hehehe... maybe you should rename this the GladeRom with all options flashable.

Plug it in, plug it in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Any chance of a touchwiz 4.5 minimalist black theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Nope. Hate twiz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
I would like to put in my vote to keep CIQ removal high on the list also. I think people just got tired of griping about it and are letting it slide now.

Unless I misunderstand, it still is the big privacy deal and the logging that everyone is saying is turned off is only the LOCAL logging so that YOU as the owner of the phone can't see what is being done by the program. The CIQ system is still functioning and outside of our control unless removed with all that entails... privacy issues or worse, battery usage etc.

I will do anything possible to help you test CIQ removal. I find it infuriating that I don't have full control and final say over my own devices.
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Ciq removal is the next step in this rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
can you add App Widget Picker and Samsung Galaxy 2 digital clock also..
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
Oops. The rom installs fine but my updater script doesn't install the added apps (acs, quadrant etc). Willpost a fix after work. My apologies...
[Epic 4G Android Development] starskyrob:
As I said I'm going to keep this rom asbarebones as possible allowing the user to customize as they see fit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Why did you odin back to stock? Did you not have anything else to flash on your SD card? For future reference, you can flash roms onto your SD card through Clockworkmod. You simply have to select the mount SD card option.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
yeah i know i just thought id give it a shot going from stock, i still have 1.4 and 1.5 on my sd card, but im softbricked now, gonna odin back to stock again, did you have any luck yet? i might try flashing it through rom manager this time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Ok, dont waste your time flashing it over 1.5, it still doesnt work. Something is not right, starsky will have to fix it. damnit.

Thank god my phone is restarting back into clockwork mod, just re-installed 1.5 with no problems. I did NOT feel like odining back to the stone age today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
haha ok, since my data is already wiped and im stock anyway im gonna try it through rom manager just for laughs, who knows might work.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

still no luck, going back to 1.5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
yea im sure its something really small, no big deal. When you tied installing through clockwork mod, did it say "installing viperROM"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dtrain069:
yeah it did, i was wondering about that too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Rob's trying to tell us something??? Viper's almost ready for alpha?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
LOL ... a very strange way to give a ViperROM hint , don't u think ? ... LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
I have never used ViperRom, but based on what ive seen from Youtube, it looked like a very stable rom. Was trinity the kernel that was used? Seems it was capable of being overclocked to 1.2?

Im relatively new to the community and JUST got my Samsung Epic. I have missed out on quite a few stable EC05 Roms. Oh well, im really diggin gingerbread, especially the EXT4 conversion.

We appreciate all of your hard work!! I'm loving this ROM immensely. Any other updates on the webpage for StarskyROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Starsky, I have a recommendation for 1.6. this is your rom so please don't feel pressured to use this. I think it would be pretty cool to add the ten lock mod theme. I have been testing it out on 1.5 and it works great.

The shake n bake mixup v5.9 version looks and works amazing.

Its a blue theme, but you can always modify it back to green if you so choose.

Just a thought! Whatever you decide to do, ill still be updating to 1.6 when it becomes available

I never get reboots and I can overclock to 1500mhz all day (not recommended) as soon as I throw on the lock mod 3-4 reboots a day...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
Random pointed out in his thunderhawk thread, something about the lockmod causes ram leakage which can lead to reboots. I actually have only noticed it in the lockmodded roms. I'm riding out ICS 5.0 until Thunderhawk 3.3 gets released(which won't include the lockmod at base, but as a flashable addon). Sadly that limits the amount of roms which run properly on my phone as lockmods included with most roms at the moment. :( hence the outdated ICS rom I'm running. I just got so sick of reboots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
try using the shadow kernel. StarskyROM runs smoothed as butter with it. It also has voodoo. I am running honeycomb lock mod just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
I've been running this kernel since it came out. Voodoo color makes worlds difference. Highly recommended. :) lock mod issues are still present with it, but the kernels totally a must have.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
This honeycomb theme lock mod has been working fantastic for SO far. No random reboot yet, but I have only been using it for a day with the shadow kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
This rocks with Shadow kernel. I reset the voodoo colors and they are very crisp and rich. Video performance and frame rate is better. You can definitely tell the difference.

No bootup Logo is more appealing to me personally also. Sorry nuburnel.

I up my screen resolution to 200 so the battery numbers are impossible to see. i like the original battery icon you were using better.

I am running the latest release. I did do a backup in Titanium and then reinstalled everything. When I installed starsky I immediately installed Shadow Kernel before booting into android.

My scores with AN TU TU and quadrant went up a little but the frame rate went up a few frames in each. Whats really worth it is the vibrant colors.
