By stock do you mean E4GT stock or the ASOP rotary stock? I've been getting softboots from the lockscreen mod so I disabled it by setting it as "no lock screen" and using another app (Widgetlocker; though you can also use Go Lockscreen). If you don't mind using another app to access your SMS from lockscreen, definitely give Go Locker a try (if you're using Go Launcher already).

Apples and Apples - Use a stable kernel...

...and if I may add a minor gripe - Several people in this thread are complaining about diminished battery life (or other issues) with this ROM, and then mentioning that they are using LOStKernel v1.0.0.8 (or similar). These are the EXPERIMENTAL kernels. If you choose to use an experimental version, you really shouldn't be commenting here about your issues, because you've likely introduced variables that are unrelated to the ROM.

FYI, the most current stable release of LOStKernel is 1.0.2.4 (updated 11/2/2011 from 1.0.2.3).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
If you would've read my previous post, you would have seen that I like UV my phone, not letting it get so hot that it will burn my hands off and/or set my phone ON FIRE. So I will post what kernel seems to give me LOS, and what is stable.

I see people every single day on this post about what kernel to use and what not to use, and I will throw it out there every time I make a change. I am sorry if it upsets you. It does pertain to this ROM, simply because you need a kernel just as much as you need a custom ROM. You also will not get the best experience out of a ROM unless you know what is great and what is complete sh*t.

1.0.2.3 doesn't support OV/UV by the way. Only experimental.

500 - 875mV

200 - 875mV

That is giving me pretty bad ass temperatures. I just switched my kernel from 1.0.0.8 to 1.0.0.7 experimental. If this screws up with LoS, I'm going to a stable screw it lol.

followed instructions precisely and after the boot animation it seems like the phone just turns off. i tried to restore backup but apparently clockwork saved it in the internal sd card and only allows me to restore from external. i have no idea what to do now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
from 1.9 you only wipe cache and dalvik to 1.9.5

you need to go to cwm, full system wipe/data dalvik, flash 1.9 then boot it up, then go back to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik flash 1.9.5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
1.0.0.7 breaks the Wifi on SB (at least starting from 1.8 and up). I was tearing my hair out to find out why my wifi didn't work...turns out to be the kernel. So, don't use 1.0.0.7.

I know you can just flash 1.9.5 straight over 1.9 but do I need to go to 1.9 then 1.9.5 if I come from v1.8 or can I just do the usual wipe and flash 1.9.5? Thanks guys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
In the previous posts they said you can go from 1.8 to 1.9.5. I would just go to 1.9 first to be safe, boot it up, then go to CWM and then flash 1.9.5 after wiping (not data).

Clear the logs in CPU spy, turn off screen, wait 20 seconds, turn back on, refresh in CPU spy. Deep sleep should be more.

My phone keeps crashing randomly, and the only way to turn it back on is to remove the battery and put it back in (just trying to turn it on doesn't work). Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
Same for me, just noticed it the past few days too. Was getting great battery life for a while and then all of a sudden it started dropping quickly. Android OS is through the friggen roof. Not sure what happened because the first couple of days I was on 1.9.5 everything was great. I flashed the ICS theme two days ago and that's when it started. I don't know if a theme can cause Android OS to go up like that or not but I'm going back to the nandroid I made before flashing it just to check.

Does our phone stock do 1% battery reports?

If not that theme does right or is that the ROM?

I forgot to mention not to plug the phone into any charger. If you're not on a charger and there is no deep sleep then that is definitely not right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
I am afraid that it might be the theme. Before I put the theme on there I was getting about 36-40 hours out of my phone. After the Theme I am getting about 10 hours and I barely use the phone.

I hope I don't jinx myself, but I too wanted to give my experience... I have the EXACT same setup... 1.9.5 w/ 1.0.0.8 exp on the Starburst ROM theme... by far best battery life I've ever had.

When I first got the phone... stock out of the box, I was dropping a percent every 10 minutes it seemed like with nothing on and screen off. It was due to the Android OS bug/issue (Suspend and Events/0) taking up all the processes and not sleeping right. I used SystemPanel Pro to determine and log this. I've also been monitoring with my most recent setup and although these two processes are still the highest, I went 1d 13hrs on my last charge (i drained battery completely and didnt charge over night because I wanted to test).

Anyways, it might be the ICS theme guys...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Could you throw it my way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] grandmastem:
Hey Guys,

I thought I would share my upgrade process quickly, since some of you are having such bad battery life with 1.9.5, and I am having the best battery life every so far...

First, I completely went back to stock following these instructions here:

http://forums.acs-developers.com/sh...din-Completely-Stock-EG30-Restore-your-system

I was *very* careful in following these instructions (did them EXACT), and in fact I watched qbking's video to do so.

Second, I had to install CWM so I could flash the Starburst ROM- I did this by installing the stocked 'pulled' and repacked kernal with the latest version of CWM from chris41g:

http://forums.acs-developers.com/showthread.php/3167-KERNEL-ODIN-Stock-Pulled-Repacked-with-CWM5

Once this was installed, I booted back in to my phone and let it sit for a bit. Then, I loaded the following two files on to my sdcard:

- http://dev-host.org/z1jsf3k9lh44/stable_epic_starburst_10.27.11_v1.9_.zip

- http://dev-host.org/atqr5cvk9gij/stable_epic_starburst_10.30.11_v1.9.5.zip

I then booted in to CWM x.2.7 and cleared EVERYTHING... data, cache, dalvik, pretty much anything I could wipe because at this point I have no data I am trying to save and could care less what is wiped away. I then flashed "stable_epic_starburst_10.27.11_v1.9_.zip" and rebooted and let my phone sit for 10-15 minutes again.

After installing 1.9, I rebooted again into CWM (should now be x.2.3) and wiped everything again EXCEPT data. Then, flashed "stable_epic_starburst_10.30.11_v1.9.5.zip" and rebooted and let the phone sit again for 10-15 minutes. I then odin'd the 1.0.0.8 exp LoST kernal to my phone and restarted.

Before I started to install software, customize my phone, etc... I immediately plugged my phone in and charged it to 100%, downloaded batter calibration from the market, deleted my .bin file and unplugged and just let my battery drain using normal use. Normal use for me included setting up my accounts, playing around with the settings, etc. -- NOTE: I still did not install any software at this point. I simply used what came with the ROM and setup settings until my phone shutoff. Plugged my phone in without turning it on and charged to 100%, turned it back on and booted it up and plugged in again to "top off" the battery again.

Now, I started installing software, etc. and ever since then have had great battery life. Hope this process helps some with bad battery life.

-Grand

I recommend giving LoStKernel 1.0.2.4-Stable a shot. Working well for me on StarBurst 1.9.5 so far. Note that you will lose overclocking and voltage control, so keep that in mind.

Can someone with Battery Monitor Widget check their history and see if there's any -1ma usage? I'm trying to get my phone back to those settings but I forgot what I did. Basically with phone screen off, it should only be around -1ma consumed, not -174ma or whatever it is for you guys. I still have the annoying AOS bug with the suspend/wake consuming my battery.

I had a perfectly working phone, I upgrade to the new update and everything goes bad and now I get called names.

Gmail doesn't reply to any emails, but wait. That must be because you think that I'm an idiot.

Exchange Mail. - In stock form I could search through my emails. This Rom took that feature away. That must be because you think that I'm an idiot.

Battery Life Sucks - That must be because you think that I'm an idiot.

I have Los with this ROM, when I was stock not even once did I have LoS. That must be because you think that I'm an idiot.

If you really want to go back to stock and forget root, I think you should go for it. If it was just a heat of the moment comment and you want some help getting back to good on this ROM, there are plenty of people here who will be willing to help.

Can we please have an explanation on why the SYSTEM needs to be FORMATTED in order to run your rom?

Just saying it needs done may be fine for people who don't care or don't know what they're doing, but I'd like to know what awesome mod requires the whole system to be formatted because it seems like a very unnecessary step. Thank you.

By the way, anyone who can answer. Can they PM it to me? I'm not going to wish wash through 50 pages of people having problems with this rom to get an answer to this question. Thanks.

For those who think I'm making a big deal out of nothing:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/

Under "format system" it blatantly says "use with caution". I do not feel comfortable using a feature that is supposed to be "used with caution" in order to willy nilly flash a rom. That is just asking for problems. Like the guy who followed the instructions earlier and now a stock tar won't restore his phone anymore. Didn't happen before someone posted "format your system".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FicTioN_v3:
I'm still on 1.9 and enjoying it, I'm actually getting better battery than stock and everything works fine. So far the only issue I've run into is yesterday morning I had to do a battery pull because my screen wouldn't turn on, I know, wierd right. My phone loves 1.9 so I'm probably not going to flash anything new for a while. Thanks Phantom, for giving me everything I wanted in this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
I don't see a problem with it as long as you have a rom in your internal storage or on the sd card to flash. If you're that worried about it, don't format it. It has been working fine for me a well as many others.

" This partition basically contains the entire operating system, other than the*kernel*and the bootloader. This includes the Android user interface as well as all the system applications that come pre-installed on the device. Wiping this partition will remove Android from the device without rendering it unbootable, and you will still be able to put the phone into recovery or bootloader mode to install a new ROM."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Why do I ask why it's necessary? This is why:

(07:57:15 PM) gr33n: i formated system data and chache

(07:57:22 PM) gr33n: and installed startburst

(07:57:22 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: formatted or wiped?

(07:57:28 PM) gr33n: formmatted

(07:57:28 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: huge difference lol

(07:57:33 PM) gr33n: yeah lol

(07:57:40 PM) gr33n: so i went to restart the phone

(07:57:46 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: so you didn't go to "wipe data" or "wipe cache", you did "format data" "format cache"?

(07:57:51 PM) gr33n: and it was just a blank screen

(07:57:53 PM) gr33n: yes

(07:57:57 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: uh oh

(07:58:03 PM) gr33n: in the formatting and mounting option

(07:58:05 PM) gr33n: yes...

(07:58:10 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: okay once we fix this

(07:58:14 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: use the "wipe" option

(07:58:19 PM) AbsolutZeroGI: never, ever format anything ever again

It's an hour later and I finally helped this dude get his phone working again. This just isn't for me, this is for the large number of people who will inevitably have the aforementioned problem because you're not supposed to just randomly format your system for no real reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I just had the weirdest problem with this rom. well im not certain if its this rom or the lost kernel. what happen was every single time i would turn my phone on it would boot into recovery no matter what. to make things even more interesting the power/select button was rendered useless. it was unable to select a single thing, thus i couldnt click "reboot phone". i tried several battery pulls and also went into odic mode then clicked "cancle and restart phone" hoping it would get me past CWM and into a actuall boot up of my phone. not sure if this is any sort of reported issue. to solve i went into odin mode and use a tar file with just CWM 5.0.2.6 and it fixed it. i hadnt flashed anything recently or made any sort of changed before it did this late last night. just throwing it out there incase it helps any one or lets the dev know of a bug

I've encountered my 2nd problem with this ROM..

First is the lockscreen. I get random resets to the lockscreen.

But now when someone calls me, it won't show their name when it's calling, it's just black. Then it doesn't even let me pick up, after 2 vibrates it just turns the screen off and denies the call.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Not sure about the rest, but in the new cwm you have to hit volume up like 15-20x to re-enable power button as select, otherwise its the home button
