On latest CW mod and when I flash the rom I get stuck at the Galaxy S logo :(. Any ideas? Does it take awhile to flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
did you wipe data and system. cache. dalvik?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
Los is just something we have to deal with...its not the rom. There is a kernel called LoStkernel that supposedly fixes the issue. As far as battery goes mine its fine on this rom.

I'm having problems with the lock mod. I was running 1.4 when the lock mod came out and followed it step by step and when my phone booted up I got status bar fc every minute and then my phone started rebooting over and over again. So I thought no big deal ill just wait for 1.5 to come out then ill have it. Wrong! 1.5 came out and when I flashed it last night the very same thing happened. Once again I followed the directions step by step and I'm still having this problem. Can anyone help? I would love to get my lock screen back and try out 1.5 but all my phone does is crash when I try to flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
I'd recommend doing a full wipe - factory reset style, then wipe cache, then format system in mount menu, then wipe dalvic 2x each just to make sure each was wiped correctly. Then go in and install 1.5 zip in cwm. You can then restore apps with TB but I wouldn't restore the data to anything, just to be sure...yeah, you'll have to go back through the settings but it's worth it to have a stable, running rom. 1.5 is worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
You need to format system in cwm. Not just factory reset. Go into cwm, mounts/storage and format system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I've been having issues with 1.5 and the honeycomb lockscreen.

I had wiped cache/dalvik numerous times, formatted system as well as done a full fresh install.

When I turn on the screen, the lockscreen and homescreen are overlayed (i see both) after a second the homescreen goes away and i have my lock screen which i can then unlock.

Also, I've been noticing that sometimes I'll be doing a function and the screen will go black (bottom buttons stay lit) then the phone kicks me back to the lockscreen and i notice my signal bars have an X in them, it picks up signal and runs media scanner (almost like a hot reboot)???

What do you think?

Should i just go back to 1.4?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
I've also had all this, but using 4tab lockscreen. I have a feeling most of it is an issue with lockmod, that mod's far from complete/stable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Storm T:
Same problem here using the stock lockscreen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigic81:
I have tried wiping EVERYTHING 3 times incuding formatting system 3 times and then immediately updating prl and profile and 1.5 still hot reboots on me.

I do a restore on TB and everything seems fine, the reboots seem to start odly enough when I start to setup my homescreen widgets...

Not sure if the TB restore is whats causing the problems or not, but never had a prob with it before or even on prior versions of Sburst, including the 10/8 nightly... :confused:

I'm hoping a new nightly comes out and I can just run that and bypass 1.5 lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Is there anyway to get this rom without the lockscreen mods?

I'd rather stay on version 1.5... but am going to flash back to 1.4 as the reboots and "ghost" homescreen on lockscreen are annoying.

Thanks again,

RR
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smikwily:
I agree on the lock screen. Only thing I'm having issues with. For a while, the wallpaper was transparent and I could see the desktop or last app open.

Think it would be good to pull the lock screen mod and just leave it "stock" for now. Hate the "drag the whole screen" route, but at least it is stable.

Upgraded from 1.4+patches to 1.5 with full formats/flushes/wipes, etc. and things are running pretty good. An occasional reboot, but a lot more stable. Was having a lot more LOS on 1.4, but seems to be better on 1.5.

Really hate having to install Spare Parts to disable the CRT animation. That little thing has been an annoyance for me for multiple ROMs on multiple devices, so just happy I could turn it off. Any way to set it to off by default?

starburst v1.5 and lost kernel equals epic! awesome job on this rom! lock screen, everything is working perfect for me! cant wait for more updates..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
We are getting repeated questions with fixes that have been posted many times. When flashing format system in cwm under mounts and storage, most bugs in this rom are due to lockmod which are being worked on, flash back to v1.4 if you don't want lockmod included, I Personally am not getting any of these bugs which is why I am having problems troubleshooting them. LOS Bugs are not due to the ROM, if you want flash LOStless Kernel and Update Profile and PRL. I am also without a laptop right now so fixing bugs is even more difficult but I'm trying. Thanks.

Lostkernel has so far fixed my los. I had it 6 times today in 4 hours before flashing it.

The only problem i am having with V1.5 is my BT headset will not connect, is says paired but does not connect. LOS many times during the day, called Sprint, CS says the towers are being worked on and may cause LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMV-P:
Why am I constantly getting hot reboots? Is this normal?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
It is due to the lockmod. Try flashing v1.4 if you want it removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
BTW guys, flashed the acs-stock-pulled kernel and the experience has been a lot more stable. No LOS and much better reception.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akkord64:
Have you tried wifi with the pulled version? Everything but Wifi was working properly. For me it would get stuck on the DHCP address assignment. I flashed between the pulled and stock rom kernel 3 or 4 times to confirm. (at least for me).

I dont know what the OP did but this revision fixed my horrible battery life. I went from having my screen brightness and cell stand by at 63% and 12%, to 28% and 4%. I was getting around 5 to 6 hours of battery life between the screen and the radio. I'm going on 6 hours and im at 73% battery. Impressive. Think Im gonna stay on this build for a while.

Sprint HotSpot vs. WiFi tether For Root Users

Can anybody on this thread answer these questions with some certainty:

1. Which should provide the better speed to the tethered device (such as my Galaxy 8.9 Tab)?

2. Do we know with 100% certainty that when we use the Sprint HotSpot, we won't see extra charges on our Sprint monthly bills?

3. Am I correct in assuming that Sprint HotSpot broadcasts in infrastructure vs. WiFi for Root Users which I know is AD-HOC.

Thank you!

P.S. I'm now running StarBurst V1.5 and both HotSpot 3G and WiFi tether working perfectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geomatiq:

I'm thinking there may be a problem running CWM 4? I'm getting an error after booting up after flashing the ROM with the following message:

The application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

Anyone have a link to CWM 5.0.2.3? The link in the CWM thread isn't working, but hopefully someone can upload a working copy temporarily so I can flash a new ROM on this bugger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sk63:
1. Dunno, haven't tested.

2. Also dunno but I dont' think so. AFIAK this hotspot is hacked so that it doesn't check if you account has tethering enabled. Hopefully the app is also not reporting something back to Sprint.

3. Yes, Sprint Hotspot uses WPA2 encryption in infrastructure mode.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Phantom didn't create the Hotspot, Necrosan did. Phantom just included it in the ROM for out benefit. Hopefully Neocrosan can get 4G working. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286236

Yeah, you're right. Stuck on "Obstaining IP Address..." The reception, temperature, and lack of LOS is much better than the other kernels I tried though, so it might be a worthy tradeoff. What kernel are you on right now?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
You forgot to wipe mount/system. That happened to me also. So basically its just one extra thing to do besides wiping data, cache, and davlik.

Wiping Data the RIGHT way for Starburst V1.5

Wiping data 1 time is like wiping your butt with a Qtip ...you'll leave a lotta shhh on your behind!

Not sure if ANY post has made it crystal clear as to EXACTLY what people should be doing BEFORE they are installing Starburst V1.5 over V1.4 so HERE IT IS FOLKS:

1) Boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.3

2) Go into mounts and storage

3) Select format /system

4) Scroll down and select Yes -Format

5) Repeat steps 3 and 4

6) Go back to wipe cache partition

7) Scroll down to Yes - Wipe cache

8) repeat steps 6 and 7

9) repeat steps 6 and 7

10) Go back and select advanced

11) Select Wipe Davlik Cache

12) Select Yes - Wipe Davlik Cache

13) Repeat steps 11 and 12

14) Repeat steps 11 and 12

15) Go back and select Reboot system now

16) After it boots into Starburst V1.5, let the phone sit for a minute or 2 before you go into Settings and start playing with the new Lockscreen Settings which contains General, Device Info, Lockscreen Settings, Statusbar Settings, Overall UI Settings and Misc Settings

If you follow these EXACT instructions the only issues you might encounter are when you start tinkering with the Lockscreen Setting which I'm confident that PhantomHacker will patch or fix in Starburst V1.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:
This is great, and I'd like to add a few things to further clarify.

1a) using CWM, make a backup of what you currently have on your phone. (I suggest doing a sync with gmail and running backup on titanium prior to booting into CAN as well). You will use the data from the CWM backup after flashing the new ROM. (you can alternatively start fresh and restore apps you selectively want using titanium backup.)

14a) Flash the version of Starburst ROM that you want, via CWM of course.

16a) If you want all your apps & data back...Boot into CWM, do an advance data restore from the backup you made in step 1a. then let the phone sit after rebooting and do the settings as stated by weltwon.

I have done this with each ROM version and not had a problem and always ended up with a better version & all my stuff.

You can try changing your processing speeds with setcpu.

I have a profile that underclocks 200-600MHz for when my screen is off.

I also use 500-1400MHz for when screen is on. (mine is overclocked).

But you could use 500-1200MHz.

The profile should be set to ON DEMAND.

I have been getting great battery life with those settings.

Is there an issue with using setcpu with tegrak? I'm just using tegrak to undervolt, but I would like to use setcpu to set cpu profiles for screen off for example
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luigic81:
Curious, whats the thought proces behind having the min set at 500 with the screen on opposed to 200 min? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
That is an idea I got from Zedomax's website. Epic4gtouchroot.com

I think it basically amounts to having the phone do less work when changing processing speeds.

I've gotten very good life by this method.

I am also using zedomax v4.1 kernel but still got good life with the same method on starburst kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
Speaking of kernels, where can i find the change log for the 4.1 beta version? Just curious about the differences compared to v3.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Each kernel brings its own bootanimation, so in other words is up to whoever developed the kernel that you flashed if they have a bootanimation with sound or not ... Also, some kernels give you the option to implement your own bootanimation :)

Yes i am aware of that, i had v4 before and had the bootanimation on that build. I guess he changed it to no boot sound.:confused:

These reading are false readings. Not trying to start any conflicts, you are correct with battery staying on for 22 hours, but you have not used the phone that long. Graph shows phone off most of the time, and you started using it about 1hr in the end.

I love this rom and the battery life is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahl395:
Anyone that switched from the stock kernel given to Zedomax's OC kernel...

Did it hurt battery life?

Not sure, one will take dominance over the other. Meaning tegrak could stop SetCPU's profiles from working or SetCPU could stop the undervolting.

any other possibilities?? o_O

the only thing that brings me back is flashing the old version of cwm and doing a nand restore

I have been rooting and using Android since the G1, but I guess I really don't know what the hell I am doing with Samsung. All of the various rooting methods, the weird SD setup, new terminology, etc. has me confused. I rooted using Bubby's method at ACS and everything seemed to go well. I ran stock rooted for several weeks with the basic functions (TitaniumBU, Superuser, Root Explorer, etc.) all working. Probably a mistake, but I downloaded Rom Manager and it showed CWM 4.0.0.2. Booting into recovery via vol. up + power showed CWM 5.0.2.3, obviously a disconnect.

Before flashing StarBurst, I tried to nand backup from recovery and all I get is

E:Can't mount /sdcard

so I did a nand backup through ROM Mgr and after some weirdness, it seems to have completed a backup.

I then followed the steps in this OP to a T and when I reboot into StarBurst, the first thing I get is

Sorry!
The application Status Bar (processcom.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.
Force close

There is no notification bar present. I can set up my accounts and sort of use the phone for a few seconds, but then the phone goes into a constant cycle of soft reboots.

I can't nandroid back via recovery because of the

E:Can't mount /sdcard

I can't re-download StarBurst because I have no way to mount to the internal SD or the external SD, USB doesn't work from recovery either, so now I am stuck.

Any suggestions?
