[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
great rom, but i ran into an issue yesterday, tho it could be my fault and not the roms fault. more likely than not, but i'll share the info... for science.

i was using GPS and 4g on the highway with google maps navigation. i was using my car charger at the time also.

then randomly my phone reboots, i see the samsung galaxy s2 logo with the yellow triangle, then the screen turns black. i attempt to press the power button and all the other buttons but nothing. so i pull the battery out and leave it out for about 5 mins, and now it boots into the boot animation, then back to the triangle screen, and just loops. my phone did actually feel pretty hot, but it was on the charger as well.

i ended up getting to cwm, so i wiped cache and dalvik to see if that would help, but it didn't so i ended up wiping everything and just flashing the base rom again.

not sure what could've happened. the phone was running great since i flashed this rom a few days ago.

recent changes:

this is probably where i caused the problem.

i ended up installing setcpu(only cuz i had previously purchased the app for my OG epic4g) and set up the phone as 1600/200 ondemand with no UV. i set up a 'screen off' profile as 800/200. seemed to work fine throughout the day.

since this was the last change, i would think this is what caused it. plus no1 else has had any issues with the rom. i didn't mess with flashing other kernels, i was running the lostkernel exp1.0.0.8 that came with the rom.

just some info. not complaining
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I posted the one day with 3+ hours screen on time, 4g on and still 12% battery pics. The key, if you look at the pics again was my signal was green practically the whole time. It wasn't killing battery constantly searching for signal. Also, its good to know which apps open on their own and run in the background ...like Google+, Facebook, Maps, Poweramp (unfortunately) and freeze or remove them if you don't use them.

But still keep Calkulin's boot up animation? I just really like that boot up animation :-)

Btw, this ROM is running fantastically!

Very nice battery life, no glitches, and the CPU speed changes are working as advertised, and do not inhibit the SE4GT one bit.

I was using SetCPU with those settings, but obviously that is not needed anymore with this ROM.

LOS is very infrequent with this ROM. In fact, after a reinstall 3 days ago, I have not experienced LOS, as compared to my prior experience before installing this ROM.

Thanks CALKULIN, and to the others who made this ROM possible.

Just like I ran CM7 on my Evo 4G, I am now running Calkulin's ROM on my SE4GT!

I thought that freezing via TB consumed battery in itself. As far as knowing which apps are coming up, I use SystemPanel. Do you have another recommendation?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I found the problem. I used Titanium Backup to restore some 65apps. I guess one of the apps that played well with star burst doesnt play well with this one. Im now installing one by one to see which app it was. Thanks again Caulkin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] springsyeti:
Ok, i will ask again. Others have asked and i have not seen an answer. Gps takes a couple minutes to lock and then will lose signal several times during navigation with Google navigator. No themes, installed according to op. This has been happening in all versions of this rom for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
My GPS is definitely quirky with this ROM. Navigation is almost unusable due to it. It takes a long time to get a lock compared to Viper or SB. I haven't noticed much with other apps, but then again they can bypass GPS with Wireless Towers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
No problems here. I get a lock in 2-3 seconds flat and navigations works great never losing signal. I'm able to lock pretty much anywhere. Not sure what your problem may be...and I'm using Overstew's ICS theme.

Looks like i may be going back to stock pulled + CWM, i got LOS again this morning, lost 30% battery in 3 hours with 12 minutes of screen on time....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
Might be a long shot, but is it possible to get this ROM and keep the stock kernel? I may be a minority here but I've had 99% reliability when it comes to LoS using the stock kernel, and I'd like to keep that.

Otherwise, the only option is flash this, and then flash stock kernel on top?

+11111 here for running Rogue Kernel + Fantastically improved CWM.

Thanks to Steady Hawkin and the Rogue crew for finally bringing us a Kernel/Recovery combo that doesn't make you choose between a great kernel and a recovery that makes sense!!

Like many of you, I have been constantly frustrated when trying new kernels only to find that the recovery version supplied sucked. I got brain fryed from trying to find one that ran good and that the recovery wasn't a dorked up version of CWM. You know what I mean...trying to figure out which hard/soft buttons to push to perform an action...getting stuck in a sub menu with no way back to reboot except a battery pull..etc....

With the Rogue combo, that is all gone. The recovery makes sense, is easy to navigate and looks killer. I do have an external Class 6 8GB sdcard installed, so your mileage may vary, but with this setup I finally feel like I am sporting a Rom/Kernel/Recovery that is well integrated and performs excellently:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
sure you can keep the stock kernel just flash it through CWM and thats it... If you search through this thread you will see lots of people have done it..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Looks like i may have found the culprit after looking at when the battery drain started it happened when i removed my sd card then i found a app had bee moved to sd and the system couldn't find it which started it all.

Problem with Polaris Office?

On versions 1.0 and 1.1 of this ROM, Polaris office fails to open documents or create new documents. Polaris will open and I can browse folders, but the files won't open. I tried clearing data, reflashing the ROM, and opening documents in external and internal memory. I though I was crazy so I switched to another ROM and it worked fine. I love the speed and battery life of Calk's ROM, but I am hoping to get Polaris working.

Anyone have a similar experience or solution?

Running the Renegade kernel and it changed the governor from conservative to ondemand. Not really a big deal but I think conservative gives better battery life. Could use SetCPU and not worry about it but I like using the init.d scripts. Plus that's one less app to install.

Rebooting...

I use Root Boot and I can reboot just fine . without using power button. No issues rebooting. I've been using Root Boot since my Evo
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] journeyman73:
It seems to only occur after restoring all my apps via Titanium Backup. I can only reboot it via the power button. If I attempt to do so via Quick Boot then I'm asking for trouble. Afterwards I have no more problems using quick boot, which I find odd. I have Root Booter as well so I might switch over to it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I boot into recovery or reboot all the time with quick boot and have had no issues with this rom

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lento10:
How do you like it? How much of of a difference did you noto?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I switched from Titanium Pro to JRummy's App Manager Pro. I actually don't freeze apps much if at all. Certain apps that constantly run on their own like Maps I just install when I need it. I know Poweramp does the same but that stays in my phone. I like the equalizer especially since Voodoo isn't an option. I generally keep sync on and always have 4g on because I live in a solid 4g area. It goes to sleep rather quickly unless you change the settings to stay awake. Also, if I have Facebook set to update "never"why is it a constant running app? I barely use it. May be time to uninstall that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
It didn't change anything. Where did you see that? It's still on conservative. The zimage has nothing to do with the init.d settings, it only supports it.

Just to let ya'll know. I too was having issues after performing a titanium backup restore. I did what someone suggested which was to do factory restore, wipe cache, wipe dalvik x3. Then format system. I did a restore of my apps with data, everything was fine. Then restored system data, and all works well. I was getting the repeating lock screen before this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dre2phresh:
I checked using Rom Toolbox. To confirm I checked "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"

Inside ""/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/" their will also be a conservative or ondemand folder depending on the governor thats being used. I've been checked this over and over again with the LoStKernelEXP and Rogue kernel. All other presets work just fine. The governor is the only thing that changes when using Rogue v1.1.1 "Renegade" kernel.

Where and how did you check?

Can someone check to see if this happens to them? If it doesn't I have no idea why it's doing it on my phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Also having more LOS than usual, 3 times today,(most ive ever gotten, which may be a sprint issue as they say they are doing tower upgrades and my data speeds are ****e). But I'm also gonna try stock pulled w/cwm. So the only thing it affects in the rom is the battery script I'm assuming?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Now, I could be wrong but, the one you're reading is probably the default kernel settings, my assumption is if you're using Calkulin's rom that has the init.d scripts (which it does) I believe they override renagades default settings.

If you check under system/etc/init.d and open 2cpu_freq_governor you'll see that conservative is selected.

Could be wrong though - no expert here.

Hi calk, for some reason, phone freezes while playing game called tapfish. Screen will lock and then phone will get extremely hot and you have to do a battery pull. And when you do that, you see a huge drop on battery %.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Anyone know why launcher pro wont work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dre2phresh:
No, changes to governor, cpu freq, etc is reflected in the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ folder. All you have to do is flash the LoStKernelEXP and check. You will see a conservative folder in there. If you flash Renegade kernel there will be ondemand folder. The scaling_governor file with in that folder will also tell which governor you are using.

I kinda know what I'm talking about here. Not a noob! ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] henbone11:
ive been sitting on this post for a several days because I wanted to try several different things before I did post it. I have no idea what all the hoopla is over this rom. I cant get anything to work right. its a deodexed rom, so changing font, boot animation, or themes should be straight forward. its not though. I have had to reflash 1.0 and 1.1 like 10 times because of boot loops or not getting past the splash screen or getting to the lock screen and it loops with LOS after changing font, kernel, boot animation or themes. I see people saying that there is no issue in doing so and thats great, but im also seeing a lot of people with issues. when I leave everything stock (the calkulin has it) everything works fine and the battery life is phenomenal. change anything, and its a nightmare. I would love to run this rom for its great battery life but I dont see how I can if I cant change anything without encountering crazy problems. nandroids of this rom wont even work once the problems start. I dont possibly see that im doing anything wrong either. ive flashed every rom and kernel that has been released by everyone thus far and have rarely encountered an issue, especially of this nature. if anyone else is encountering anything similar could you say how you have gotten past it?

Ack! I installed Go Launcher EX and rebooted, and got stuck in a launcher boot loop. Had to recover from a Nandroid. Reflashing wasn't enough.

Repeated it twice to be sure.

Normally I run ADW EX. After installing Go Launcher EX, I wiped the launcher default choice as prompted by the installation, then rebooted and ended up in the launcher loop described above.

Anyone heard of this before?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
yes, if you dont set a default launcher before rebooting it happens. happened to me and I had to reflash as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
Been having the same problem myself. I ran GO Ex and ran into the 'boot-loop' a couple times myself. Required a restore the second time so I gave up.

Thanks for the tip on choosing alternate launcher prior to re-boot. I'm a little confused though, because xpanmanx said that he DID remove TW as default before re-botting, and still ran into the problem. Are you suggesting that there's another step beyond clearing TW as default.

Truthfully, I like this ROM as-is + Folder Manager, but I'm also masochistic, so I'll give GO another shot...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
I took it as he cleared defaults, but did not SET the default to go launcher, when home button is pushed after defaults are cleared you then have the option to default your launcher choice in the dialog box. Make sure to check the default box before rebooting for the first time. Not everyone had the problem with go launcher, but it helped a few.

No issues, no problems so far. Followed directions, booted phone and I was good to go with everything working fine. 17 hours uptime right now and going strong.

I have yet to reboot, hopefully no issue will crop up then.
