I'm not sure if this would be inside the kernel or inside a ROM, but something that would be REMARKABLY useful for this phone, especially with the LOS issues, would be a reboot button under the power control window.

I ran v 1,2, and 3 on stock with no issues at all. I only went back to stock because it is a little more battery friendly for me but I was running 1600/200 so that's expected. When v5 comes out, I will be back. My phone likes 1600.

I'm having a problem once i pass 1400, when i try 1504 the phone freezes up on me, but work's just fine on 1400. Any ideas why this is happening?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
1400 may be the max that your phone can do. they are not all equal and you may have got one that cant perform at a higher setting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mrprof3ssional:
well that sucks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Meh, I wouldn't let it bother you too much. This phone is so fast already. The only place you see a noticeable difference is on Quadrant. It is a bit faster but it also uses a bit more battery.

-Sayajin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
I have to agree. I hate to be a pest, but we have been waiting for V5 for what seems like forever. And I understand that you are rebuilding it from scratch, Zedo. But an ETA for those of us that check the thread 4 times a day waiting for this would be nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Hi Guys, im on starburst rom 1.4 and I got to say, its impressive out the first time you boot up. Pretty quick, amazingly responsive... I've been on stock rooted zedo v3, another handset (asurion bogus device) stock rooted zedo v4.1, starburst rom 1.1, midnight rom 1.1 & 2, and trust me when I say this thing is amazing (starburst rom 1.4)

Commencing benchmarks now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Man I love the battery, signal, and color icons on the notification area, plus the BADASS colored tag thing on the bottom of the notification area, when you bring the notification area down...

Initial benchmarks on 8% battery on quadrant without set cpu installed (and has not been installed on this rom) resulted in a 2960 score (closest to lowest I've ever had, lol). But, the system is extremely fluid, swype working good, and everything flows well. Definitely going to backup!

EDIT...

The stock kernel does not go past 1.2 ghz but its scoring a clean 3300 on 1200/200 ondemand and its running WAY better than stock, and way better than my OG ET4G that ran 1.6 ghz and hit 4400 on quadrant. This system just runs real smooth!!

My honest conclusion..

This is the best rom yet... Don't even recognize the kernel

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sashin:
I'm running this on Starburst 1.4 and it's been pretty solid. But I did have a los once today.

At 1.6 it flies, got a 4600+ on Quadrant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I installes V3 and omg. Sceoling and all that is the same as before on stock kernal ( which was so smooth and nice it can't be made better ) but I got major battery life improments from this kernal. Before my android OS and android system would hang out around 15-17% which is great but now I'm gettin 2-4% on both of them! My battery life improved by probably 15-20% thanks for this rom Sir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
What version kernel you using with 1.4 ? And I also experienced los on this rom :( only negative thing. Backing up anyway
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSJSayajin:
Just to give some input... I have tried Midnight ROM using v4.1 of this Kernel and had LOs a few times. I switched to Starburst last night and did not install this Kernel and have already experienced LOS.

I will pretty much say its not this kernel that is creating LOS. Since I get it with multiple kernels, im flashing this one again becuase I would rather be able to overclock if im going to get LOS either way.

Battery Comparison

Has anyone tried this Kernel and Zedo's other Kernel without overclock?

Which one has better Battery life is it really noticeable if there is a difference?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
Is there any way to use this Kernel with CWM 5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Both seem to be pretty awesome. You get the same response at stock clock speeds, just with the oc kernel you can kick up the performance. This kernel pretty much rocks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
It would be worth everyone getting LOS before you root so that you don't assume it's the kernel.

I've had LOS unrooted and rooted using 3 kernels and 2 mods.

Odin can take quite some time to happen. if it does not work for you, make sure you have the samsung usb drivers (kies) downloaded, then give it another go. What build of windows are you rocking?

Thank so much. Can I take out the USB and redo it? Right now it's just sitting there. Is there any danger is pulling the usb out?

I've installed Kies, and all the related drivers.

Technically, yes. However, if it started writing zimage, then you have nothing on your phone. It will not boot. You are currently in a position where you have to figure out how to make it work... or you are kind of screwed...

Thank again for all the wonderful help, you guys are great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Ouch man... I really wish I had more for you. But if you downloaded kies and have odin 1.85 (should say epic 4g at the top), and have your phone set to download mode, you should be rockin. Best i can say is reboot the computer and the phone... if that doesn't work, hope Zedo or k0nane or one of the other senior members hops on and maybe knows some backround path to fix this... and if all else fails... take your epic touch back and replace it. I wish I could help more man... :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Everything has been working since day one, or is it day two? LOS? It's device dependent, I don't get any LOS whatsoever and a lot of people don't while some people do and get 10 a day, I gave up, I am just gonna make new kernels until Samsung fixes it with an update(which they did for original GS2 for random reboots) but you can always go back to stock so there's no worries if it doesn't work out for you.

At least we've got like a hundred kernels for you to try out now on xda. One of them will work for you.

This one ( 1.6ghz v3 ) has about 15-20% better battery life for me. This combined with my stock deodexed rom delivers android OS and android system averaging around 2-6% with lots of daily use on my phone.

*4hr 20min of that is screen on with me messing around.

*Android System is 12%

*Android OS is 3%

And I have 55% battery left. On a average day with 24hrs off the charger I get about 6hrs screen on time. Which consist of about a hour in calls, lots of xda, I take lots of pics every day cause I love the camera, tons of txting my gf ( I mean tons, like several hundred txts haha ), you tube for a hour or more a day, googling random stuff. I charge my phone once a day but I never once have run out of battery. And I run my phone hardddd with the screen pretty bright. Screens at 73% right now. Also that includes 8 hours a day of my phone in sleep mode at work where I only get 2bars of service ( low bars means your phone kranks up the juice to get a better signle which killa the battery quicker then anything ) so I turn my 3g/data off at work to help with battery drain.

IDK if its just me but before flashing this kernel my would run smoothly and have a linpack score of 85 to 90. Then I flash this kernel and overclocked, now every time i clock back to 1.2 ghz there's a little lag and the linpack scores is now 70 to 80.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
Why don't you just switch to a different kernel then?

It's the exact opposite for me, scores are better with this kernel. Not that a score in linpack really matters to me, my phone performing smoothly does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Every phone seems to respond a little different. My phone, for instance, has no problem at 1.6, and i haven't had a los issue in about 5 days. But i know some people get los issues 3 times a day or more, and can't get past 1.4 to be stable. However, even at 1.6, i can't break a quadrant score of 3800. Others are hitting 4400 at lower clock rates. It seems to be just... Luck of the draw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sader2202:
Dude my phone is just like yours. At 1.6ghz im stable and i never hit 4500 and i never got LOS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Maybe you need to set SetCPU at 1600 Min & 1600 Max with performance profile to reach the 4400 mark? No that it matters, I'm just saying.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
I'll take it though. If a slightly lower but still astounding quadrant score is the cost of stability and and insane clock rate, then I am cool with that.

trash all widgets that might be on the home screen, reboot the phone, kill background data, clear ram, set to 1.6 performance gov, run quadrant 2x back-to-back immediately after the first run. it seems the first round is significantly slower than the following rounds...

I am not sure how you are getting this amount of battery life but I put this Rom with Zedomax Kernel and got about 16 hrs before needing to charge. The breakdown on that was 32% Display time on 2hrs, 27% Android OS 1 hr 35m, Android System 9%, Cell Standby 5% 15h. I also have JuiceDefender Ultimate on the phone. What is everyone's thoughts on these stats?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Thats weird... he hasn't enabled it in the kernel. What kind of black magic are you playing with?

Then again, you "can't" flash clockwork from the app, and I did. You "can't" wipe the phone before installing a ROM, but I have done the full 9X wipe twice now. Maybe you have some magical device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sterist:
with hourly internet browsing, moderate texting, minimal calls, and 10-15min of blackjack a day I get around 30 hours of battery. screen brightness is ALWAYS minimum though and the screen analyzing is turned off (seems counter-productive, eating cpu time & monitoring) as well as background data disabled 90% of the time.

oh I clear ram before turning the screen off for extended periods of time too.

standard CPU range with on demand power save bias on 425 (try that one!)

edit: it seems with all the flashyness of 2.3 and newer, android OS and system are much bigger power consumers. Factory Test / Bluetooth Test/ Wifi Test etc are all included in the android system statistic. if you remove them (back up first) you could in theory save a bit of power there. i believe they are only used in the dialer code tests. they only consume when they load to ram (and yes they automatically reload after killing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I think you might have a bit of the android OS bug. 1hr 35min is wayyyy high. Mine after a full battery usage of 5-6hrs is about 30minutes. Sadly I don't kmow what to say. I have heard its caused by the kernels but who knows. Also I know.my gf's ET4g's battery drains more than mine cause she has apps like face book and stuff running. How was your reception? Lower reception bars like 3bars and under cause phone to use its battery more to amp up the cell signle. Maybe that was a possibility?
