Np. Thanks for updating the stock framework.zip :)

Hmmm ...not sure. I haven't gotten any wake lag. What's your sleep governor set at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Its set to the default which in VC is showing noop. I'll try it without widget locker and see if the lag persists

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I get like a second of lag, but that was on stock too. If you take out the sdcard, it fixes it. I use the default settings and widgetlocker too and I get just that small bit of lag.

noop is the schedule, your governor is likely conservative. The little bit of lag is there stock and there isn't anything you can really do that doesn't kill battery life.

Reboot causing missing widgets

I am using Go Launcher and every time I reboot my phone, I lose my widgets and have to reset them. It has only happened on this ROM. I did a clean install as I came from Starburst.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
I indicated flashing the latest which is 1.0.2.3, I do not believe that is cooked into the ROM? Am I wrong? If so I stand corrected.

Regards,

rast4man

EDIT: According to ACS FTP, the latest "stable" is 1.0.2.2 and the latest "experimental" is 1.0.2.3

Info from the thread:

http://forums.acs-developers.net/sh...L-CWM-ODIN-LoStKernel-Root-BB-CWM5-Tweaks-WIP

According to the screen shot in the OP, the About phone shows "2.6.35.8-LoStKernel+" and I don't have/can't find that one. I'm on "2.6.35.7-LoStKernel+." Hmmmm

Let me know if you find a solution. I can't get 1.18.1/2 to install with BusyBox Installer either. I think I'll try to push the file via ADB if I can find the individual BusyBox 1.18.1/2 file manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Never had this problem. Try making a backup of the go launcher settings, then clearing data on go launcher, then try restoring your backup and see if that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I don't know where you are seeing the EXP version up at 1.0.2.x Look here...

http://chris41g.devphone.org/LoStKernel/Exp/

Only up to 1.0.0.6 now on EXP. that's why the kernel version is different from stable to exp (gets the bump from .7 to .8)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Click the link I posted, it's the LoS Kernel that they made a stable public release from. That's the one I've been using since it's also NOCiQ and it totally cleared my LoS problems. *scratches head*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I did click it and it doesn't say anywhere that EXP build is that high. I know its not and that the latest is 1.0.0.6. The versions may be higher for the stable build, but I don't follow that one.

EDIT: here are stable builds...

http://chris41g.devphone.org/LoStKernel/Standard/

The version number is higher on them then the EXP kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rast4man:
Ahh my bad, the link/version I'm referencing isn't EXP, it's STANDARD. Sorry bro.

Haven't been to bed yet and the doctor put me on quite a bit of Percocets so I've been up "partying" all night ;)

Hmm, I am having issues with updating apps through the market now- I'm getting Download "app name" declined...anyone else had this issue? I tried searching Google, no promising results.... :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Have you tried moving the apps with widgets to your internal memory? That's usually what happens to me when i move them to my sd card, the widgets disappear upon reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
This usually happens if you have a paid app that you didn't pay for and it links it to the Market and tries to download an update and since you didn't pay for it in the first place, it denies it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kboogi:
This was denying Google Maps...I us TB for a previous backup save, then tried to update- it worked....strange...thank you for the information though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
How do I get started with this? Do I flash "Update 10/21 - v.2" and then flash .2.1 and .2.2 updates? Or do I have to go back further?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LukeLeBron:
Wipe everything.

You flash v2, which is well over 200mb.

Then you let it boot.

Go back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik.

Flash v2.1, let it boot.

Go back to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik.

Flash v2.2

Let it boot.

Your good to go :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No need to flash v.2.1 because v.2.2 has v.2.1 in it plus some other changes :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Lol maybe you should delete 2.1 update so people won't get confused
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
I reinstalled the ROM again and it's working fine now. Weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LukeLeBron:
Lol I did not know that xD

This is not just any rom,this is the rom been waiting for viper since I returned my 3d eevolution got epic touch.

Hm, good to know. I'll wait for the next version.

Also, I talked to viper, and he said we're going to discuss porting CM7. :)

Does your phone boot up or are you stuck at the splash screen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
i just launched the music app and it loaded all my music on my external sdcard fine and played without any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BobVila:
hrm... delete me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g4me0v3r:
This ROM looks very promising and according to a quick Google search, it is...

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
It doesnt boot at all. It just stays at the splash screen. After reflashing a stock eg30 tar file, and then formatting system, i reflashed viper rom, and still nothing.

I then reflashed a stock eg30 file for the 3rd time, tried a different rom (starburst) format system, wiped dalvik & cache, flashed starburst, and im still stuck at the splash screen.

Reflashed stock eg30 file thru odin, did a factory reset, formatted system, cache, (emmt?) & data, flashed starburst again, and nothing. So im stumped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I am likely going to put out a new build for the next few since they will be frequent, I don't want to create confusion of flashing this update and that update and all this.

I just tested and it worked fine as well. Try clearing data and cache from Music. Do you have music on your sdcard?

Sorry, I will add more to the OP. All I did was flash the LoStKernel to root and used the CWM from there and it worked fine. It sounds like your recovery is borked, I would use Odin to flash LoStKernel and try again.

Totally my fault, I saw "TouchWizCalendar" and thought it was a widget and removed it into /sdcard/viperROM/removed_apps along with Calculator lol sorry about that, I will fix that in the next build tonight as well. For the time being, you can use vC to restore those back in.

:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Can we get the viperROM folder to install in /emmc? I, for one enjoy not needing a sdcard. :)

Maybe an assert in the script that sees if there's a card and puts the files appropriately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
By stock eg30 do you mean the kernel? It looks like you're going to need to do a complete restore - I had a similar thing happen to me when I went to clear out my phone to flash a custom ROM.

Go here: http://www.forums.acsyndicate.net/s...din-Completely-Stock-EG30-Restore-your-system

And download that .tar - flash the .tar just like you would a kernel and your phone should boot up. Let me know if this works for you.

i can't seem to upload to the forum so i uploaded to imgur.

here's the album link. these were taken right after the flash with no changes at all.

thanks for the great work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t91180:
This looks great. I'm wondering why everyone keeps using go launcher though?

Honest question. Its an easy fix for me to switch, so I'm purely asking out of curiosity. Not complaining. :)

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Somehow missed this when multi-quoting, sorry about that! Thanks very much!

I will fix it tonight!

I wish I could help you more but I haven't had to look into recovering this phone yet, so I'm not too sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
As far as I know, you need to have a card for Clockwork to flash a ROM, no? I haven't tried without, but if you don't have a card in, clockwork defaults to the emmc?

Thanks so much!!

I didn't know anyone else was using it in a ROM lol but I chose it because I find it to be the most customizable launcher and it's been really solid for me. Backup options, themes, etc and because I intend to change the density, TW launcher doesn't scale right, so I figured I might as well lay the groundwork and have everyone get used to not having TW launcher :)

Anyone else have some feedback on GO Launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
yeah i was wondering about the usage of go launcher. i got use to launcher pro.

i don't need crazy customizations. i just want a fast ui with a small footprint.

not just this rom, but a bunch use go launcher. just wondered if it was the best launcher
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xPSYB0RGx:
yes, i have been doing this. but after i do this, i try to reflash viper and starburst, and neither one flashes for me.

Im trying to find the cwm before the 5.0.2.6 version, and see if that fixes any thing. I will give the lostkernel a shot, and report back

Same.. SU errors, wifi gets wonky, and the phone got really really really hot. I think it may be an issue with the kernel itself? Some people reported that flashing 0.6 out of stock does not grant them root access.

Hey Viper install fails on apps from your removed apps directory... Know why??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
That's listed in the OP...

You are trying to install some bloat back right from the folder like you would a normal app? You can't do that. Use viperControl, option 3.

So everyone seems to get better battery life on v.2.2 after a charge cycle or two? Mine definitely has gotten a better. Anyone still getting bad battery life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
Is anyone else getting no notifications on their programs (email, text etc etc) on the status bar on v2. 2?

For some reason I no longer get status bar icon notifications on some programs. Ie k9 emaail, trillian, and go sms

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
You can manually update, but I will probably keep the kernel at 1.0.0.4 for now since there have been reported issues with other builds right now.

Yeah, the reporting is a little off. It's an issue with the stock ROM, not any modifications I've made.

Nope, you should be fine to roll back. I had an LoS for a few hours today and didn't know cause I was at work. That was really annoying.

Thank you for posting this :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I think I may finally have an idea about the LoS bug and how to temporarily fix it without Tasker!!

If anyone goes LoS and knows how to use ADB (preferably, however, Root Explorer or similar would work) PLEASE let me know! I need to confirm something! If this happens, someone hop on ADB or check in Root Explorer to see if this exists:

/sys/devices/virtual/net/eth0

If it does, I need a copy of the eth0 folder. Zip it up and post it please!

I just had something really weird happen regarding battery reporting. Battery life was great, was at like 64% after 6 hours of use and 2 hours screen on. Then my phone froze, I rebooted it, and it said it had 20%. But now it's charging pretty fast.... Back up to 36% already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Won't you have stock kernel and not LostExp? He was asking how to get CWM 5.0.2.7 and keep LostExp I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
You are correct, the kernel and recovery are linked so whatever kernel you flash you get both the kernel and recovery. You would need to find a kernel recovery combo that you want to flash
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Was your phone LoS when this happened? I need the dump of eth0 or confirmation of the directory not existing when the phone is currently IN LoS.

Run GPS Test for a few mins to see if it improves it. I didn't tweak anything with GPS but it has always worked fine for me.

Not to my knowledge, no. And yeah, I think I have a good solution. Just need some more evidence when someone else gets LoS.

The battery reporting is off, it happens to me too. You will see that it will then hang at a percentage for a while or even go back up.

@Viper - been a fan of your tweaks which made my Evo a lovely thing and Tiamat kernels are running on my Xoom and 2 other Evos as we speak..... I like the look of your rom and its features but after reading about a few bugs and your plans for V3. I was wondering will it be an update.zip or will it be a full rom. Trying to figure out if I should wait it out since your upcoming stuff has bug fixes..

Thanks again and keep up the good work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
v.3 will be a full ROM :) all the incremental versions (ex. v.2.x) will be update.zips.

GHOST LOS, zip file attached.

I noticed I had the ghost LOS. Could not send a text message and had full bars of signal. I zipped up the eth0 folder as requested.

Awesome work with the ROM, really enjoying it. Also, running v2.2 with LOS kernel 1.0.4 that it comes with.

Hopes this helps!

Is there anyway you can implement some sort of GPS fix, I know I'm not the only one who has GPS issues and can never really ever get a lock.

Is the bottom row of your first screenshot in the opening post removable? I like touchwiz's dock bar better than that one. I was thinking about this rom and success it has and would like to flash it, but I'm just wondering if the dock bar can be changed to touchwiz's dock bar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LukeLeBron:
Yes it can be. It's under removed apps, you can restore with viper's script ;) I believe 2nd or 3rd post explains how to use the script. I'm too lazy to look and retype this on my phone

Edit: 2nd post ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lugoues:
Viper, first off awesome work! :)

Second a question: I am trying to get OpenVPN to work with your ROM... but it is lacking a TUN and/or TAP module, is there a way to get these compiled into your ROM? Or is beyond the scope if what you are doing?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caaznkid:
just turned on the screen of my phone....everthing was tinted dark purple....and then i turned off the screen and turned it on again...and it was normal. not sure if that's something a ROM could have caused but just letting you know viper haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Thanks, I'm looking at this now. I believe I have a temporary solution to fix the LoS bug. It DOES NOT solve it from ever happening, but it will monitor your phone and you will have the LoS bug for more than 2 mins and it will log the LoS on the /sdcard. I haven't decided how often to make the script check yet. No reason to make it check every second and use up processing power, so I think 2 mins is OK. It will be able to be changed too if you guys want to :)

I've never had a GPS issue and most people haven't. I will ask one of the other devs if they've tweaked their GPS settings at all, but I haven't touched mine. In the mean time, just try GPS Test and it has been reported to fix GPS lock.

GO Launcher won't look like the Samsung launcher but you can restore the TW launcher easily.

Thanks man! And, I think, those modules have to be made during the config of the kernel. I'm not 100% sure, but pretty confident. So I think you'd have to ask chris41g.
