One word of advice, if you do include nivron's data display mod, you should definitely post a very specific explanation in the OP that describes what this change does and what it means otherwise you are going to be seeing hundreds of freak out posts instead of the typical dozens from those who don't/won't read the OP.

There are plenty of explanations around XDA and I have a pretty detailed post on the subject here 1x vs 3G which was in regard to Sense on HTC, but is the same basic principal.

From past experience, most users do not understand that a good chunk of the time they are already on 1X even when Sprint/Samsung shows them 3G. They will blame the ROM rather than understand that they just took the red pill. It's nice for the informed to see what is really going on, but there are many for whom ignorance is bliss :)

LostKernel tinkering vs. Surprise Tonight

I'm wondering what would happen if I reloaded v1.6 and then tried to upgrade the Lostkernel from experimental to the one linked by Shoulon.

Hmmmm...stay with v1.4 and wait for PhantomHackers "surprise" tonight or try V1.6 & LostKernel upgrade ...

I'll wait for PhantomHackers "surprise"

Linpack score down, quadrant score up

Put the 1.6 Rom on my phone and I really like it alot. Thanks for putting this out there.

What I dont understand is while the quadrant score went up around 10%, the Linpack score dropped to 25 from around 80 on multithread. Phone still seems real snappy. Any know whats going on with this?

Flashing the stable LoStkernel takes a few seconds and is worth it. I flashed it with the ROM yesterday and I have had everything working and great battery life. At worst, you have a good nandroid to hold as backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Our CWM5 Doesn't backup kernels in nandroids correct?

Im making a back up right now....

You are def one of the best devs around. You are way too awesome with updates.... And always keeps us happy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
I think it does. I flashed the CWM 5.0.2.6 Kernel, and restored a nandroid, and ended up with the LOSt Kernel again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
Okay, Just curious because the og Epic in cwm doesnt backup kernels

Thanks for the info. I will try that next time I'm flashing a rom.

Was anyone able to get the "number of recent apps" to display more than 6? I was trying to get 12, but no luck even after multiple reboots. I'm on 1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
So, I flashed this ROM maybe a half an hour ago. My phone was dying (while I was setting it up all again), and my phone is saying I have 0% battery. And when I unplug the phone, it dies immediately. Like, it is just staying there and it refuses to charge. I am on 1.6 right now...

Please help lol. Or any ideas would be appreciated. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
External charger or plug in for a few then unplug then plug in for a few... Repeat until you get it to charge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Let it die and charge while it's off. If you can resist turning it on until it's full then you can calibrate the battery through CWM and get some bomb battery life out of the deal, too.:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
keep the phone off and charge?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Did you have this problem before as well? I just went into CWM and wiped dalvik cache and battery stats to clear it up. Hopefully that helps. I am rebooting right now. :) Thanks for the quick response.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Its out, this rom will be updated next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah, that is what I am doing right now. I was like wtf? lol. The light is still on and everything, it is just refusing to recognize it. And they whoop dee doo, it shuts off. Poop.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
That was the OP saying he's released a new ROM...look for post in main section for development if interested...nothing to do with your battery situation

And yes, once at 100 % boot into recovery, then go to advanced>wipe battery stats then "yes" then go back and reboot. This REALLY boosted my battery stats before after following this procedure. Of course, each persons battery usage is dependent on a ton of variables.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
It would always happen to my sensation. once the charge was dead, i would bring out my external charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yep, just saw it. About to try that out, why not lol. Good thing I made a backup!

i flashed 1.6 yesterday, and my battery has been horrible. I was able to go all day with phone charge and end of day still be around 40%. Today with this rom my battery was at 20% around 4pm with light use. I want to keep this rom but battery life for me is not good. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schnergun:
i keep getting a STATUS BAR FORCE CLOSE right on boot up each time. any ideas? i have wiped everything 2 times completely and tried flashing the rom 2 times as well. as well it random reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
Kill battery until it shuts itself down. Charge to 100% with phone OFF (overnight is a good time). Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (advanced>wipe battery stats), then reboot...this **should** make a big difference (battery usage is completely and totally dependent upon your individual app load and usage)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
you didnt wipe System.

goto mounts in cwm them wipe system

Install Instructions

1)Make a nandroid backup

2)Format System Under Mounts and Storage (Important!)

(if your upgrading then dont wipe data. however if its a freshinstall, WIPE DATA)

3)Wipe cache

4)Wipe dalvik

5)Flash

Once booted, let your phone sit for a few minutes for the best results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:

Do I have to have Setcpu installed or do I only install it if I want to change some things? I believe it is set at 1.2ghz conservative when first flashed.

You only need SetCPU if you want to make changes to speed/voltage and profiles. Otherwise if you are happy with the performance and battery, you're all good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Wouldn't a 3rd party VoIP app work regardless of the ROM since it's just an internet application? So what does this change in the changelog mean:

Android OS as of 2.3 has built-in support for SIP accounts integrated into the OS, so this is probably what people were expecting seeing this in the changelog (this feature is commonly stripped out by carriers, and is included on most AOSP ROMs like CM).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
My mistake forgot to add it. Will be in next rls

Will that be, in phone settings like in cyanogenmod? (I'm not sure if that is the native location for bare bones 2.3).

No Lloss of Bluetooth, WiFi or LOS in Starburst V1.4 or V1.5

PhantomHacker:

Based on problems I was having in V1.6 with Bluetooth turning itself off during phone calls, WiFi shutting down at random and phone calls being cut-off during conversations, problems I haven't had in past 24 when I went back to V1.4 and then V1.5, my brain says the problems I had in V1.6 are related to the experimental Lostkernel in V1.6 Starburst.

Looking forward to V1.7 without LostKernel or with the ability to remove it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
Just flash/odin another kernel after you have flashed the ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
Or just flash through cwm.... easy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quazimodem:
FYI

I've been using starburst 1.6 since Saturday... Sunday I flashed chris41g's latest LOSkernal or whatever it was... v1.0.2.2 I think?

This AM, I experienced what I think is my first LOS.... red blinking LED... I had to hold down power to reset my phone because it was not receiving any calls. I know there's been some argument on LOS and how its caused... I can tell you I've never experienced an LOS with stock or even a rooted stock. :shrug:

I like starburst, I think it's great rom however, I don't want another LOS incident so I'm gonna flash back to a rooted stock and see how things go on that for a while...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Edit ........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Storm T:
Good Luck. It's not caused by rooting or anyone's rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quazimodem:
Yeah, I keep reading about that. I knew ppl were gonna think I was trolling by reporting an LOS issue here since people make it an issue but I just wanted to give feedback as to what I did and add that I've never experienced an LOS with stock... go figure.

I'm actually gonna try AbsolutZeroGI's EG30-Stock-DeodexV3-NoCIQ rom and see if I experience anything with that. If I do and I hope I don't, then I'll go back to stock. This is all trial&error and experimenting with the various roms out right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
So my recovery goes completely crazy if I format the system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cbusillo:
format system, and immediately flash zip without rebooting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
I can't, it goes crazy right away
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
LOS is just one of those anomalies that I think is going to be tough to figure out. My wife got an ET4G on launch day and hasn't done anything to it and she gets LOS all the time. At least twice a day. I got an ET4G three days later and I had LOS right in the store and on the way home and then rooted and had it sporadically, though much less frequently than hers. I had to return that ET4G last week due to some issues with the SD card slot and with this new ET4G I have yet to have a single LOS running stock or any of three custom ROMs I have tried.

Hardware issue? Who knows, but I have a buddy who got one this weekend and he has yet to have an LOS. Maybe it was something in the early builds. If my wife's phone LOS issues persist I may try and exchange hers too and see if that resolves it.

Great battery Advice

can't remember who posted it a day or 2 ago but his battery advice was fantastic:

Run battery down to zero (until phone shuts down completely)

Then plug it in to recharge back up to 100% (took me about 6 hours via USB 2.0)

Go into Recovery > Advanced and reset the battery memory.

After doing this procedure, my battery appears to be draining less than 3% an hour in standby mode. Thanks to whomever originally posted the advice!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
Update tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dude2k5:
Update? Cant wait. BTW, my battery life has improved....SO much. I use to get like 6-9 hours of battery. Was the one horrible thing, now, 65% and its been 9 hours already. AND no LOS. SUPERB work. Best ROM out there to my knowledge, others would drain battery and get LOS 1-5 times a day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
You can safely drop them as much as you want. Just check the box that says "set on boot" when your testing to see what's stable. Ot you UV too much and your OS restarts it wont load your aet cpu setting again so you will be fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
Maybe I'm the exception, but the LoS-EXP_Kernel causes me to crash/reboot over and over, even with max OC at 1400 using SetCPU on demand governor on SBv1.6. Anyone else having this issue? I just flashed over to the LoS-Stable 1.0.2.2 kernel and no probs, but I'd like to OC/UC if possible! Anyone with similar situation?

Hey Phantom, great work on the rom man! No LOS at all and battery life is amazing. So far no issues, just a request. I was wondering if you could add a silent state to the phone?

Thanks in advance. :)

Theme Engine only works on AOSP roms. It's because the framework file names are universal on CM7 and select roms (AOSP based ones). Samsung's framework has different file names for their framework, so it wont work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IA-32e:
Someone here said that CWM 5.x can only save to your external SD card and not your internal . Where CWM 4.x saves to your internal SD. So once you flash a kernel with CWM version 5.x you will need to manually move them to your external SD card in order to restore. Without knowing that it doesn't help much if you have a bad flash. Am I correct on this?

If you formatted system without flashing you will be left with an inoperable phone. You will need to odin the stock/rooted rom (won't overwrite data) then go into CWM, format system and reflash. Make sure you have a successful download this time.
