Orrrrr maybe it is more like neutering a male cat...the balls are still there but the connection is severed. Maybe K0nane severed the connection but these apps are picking up the files and capabilities.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
Developers, great ROM. Thanks for all you do.

I need to know whether your ROM clears the RAM occasionally, as part of its built-in tweaks (turbocharger, etc). I've been seeing a problem where texts appear to go out, but really get stuck in some queue, then about 100 of them burst out a day later at the most inopportune moment. Last night, a few zillion texts went out, all at 1:39am, which is needless to say, a little embarrassing. All of them were over a day old, some older.

Reading around, it seems that when you clear the RAM, there's a built-in app that handles texts that does not automatically get restarted.

Any insight? I don't think this is a ROM or kernel issue, but I would like it straight from the horse's mouth. Thanks much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Ok, so I'm trying to narrow my battery drainage problem. Things seem to went awry with the EI22 modem, so can I use this ROM with the EE03? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
This is what we're lead to believe, I think that's what k0 explicity stated. There are still elements there, but they're not attached to anything so they're litereally useless.

Only thing that made me think of it was when people were saying there are different things in these apps, one saying it's 'present but inactive.' I would think this is the result we would get based on what I've read, but with people saying they're getting the result of 'active', just kind of made me wonder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Btw, thanks for adding the TW alarm sounds back to rc2.1!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Hey guys with good battery life, what Kernel are you running? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
If you happen to use a program that enables you to clear ram, stop it. Usually this is due to clearing level 2 ram and the issue doesn't resolve itself until your next reboot.

I experienced a delay in receiving a few texts yesterday, so I just rebooted and things seem to be a-okay. (Running v4.0.1 with provided kernel)
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
Thanks, but I do not run anything RAM-related, unless it's in the ROM or the samurai kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
The file available? Which file do you speak of?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
I just upgraded to Samurai 2.0.8 and so far my battery is slightly better. I did find an app called System Tuner Pro which is my new best friend. Does most of the things that TB does, but (I think) it's free (including freezing apps and can uncheck apps from starting). I stopped alot of apps from starting, including the DRM junk and I took my phone off the charger almost 2 hours ago and my battery is still at 100%. Made a phone call, did about 20 texts and looked something up on Miren Browser. So far so good.

I don't think it matters. Whichever modem gives you the best battery life and/or speed stability should be the one you go with. Every phone is different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
You just answered yourself, you came from the stock ota gb rom, which has a rewrite scripted into the kernel. If you didn't flash a custom kernel prior to booting it rewrites original files. You need to load a recovery with a Clean kernel before flashing anything custom rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Then my guess is it is network related. If you are on an Airave reset it. Also update Profile and PRL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
I don't use an Airave, and I have done those other things with no joy. Thanks, though.

It's a very intermittent problem, which also leads me to believe it's a network issue, but like I said, I'd like to hear from the developer(s) specifically whether the RAM is being cleared by this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I don't think he was only talking about an app for RAM. You can go into settings and 'clear level 2 RAM' which some people used to do a lot until we realized the problems it causes. I don't remember how to get there, but there was a native way to do it before. Just a thought.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
Right. Specifically, I want to know if this ROM is doing anything on its own to wipe the Level 1 or Level 2 RAM, because apparently part of that includes killing the process that handles outbound texts. I know

I'm

not doing anything like that... not on purpose, anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Do we have a list of themes people have successfully flashed over 2.1?

UPDATE:

I Absolutely LOVE the new boot ANI.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbartels:
I LOVE this rom and I have tried a ton of them lately. I am having GPS issues I am hoping somebody smarter than me (that's all of you reading this) can help with.

I am using RC 2.1 and have been for a few days. GPS worked great (locked 9 out of 9 in about 15 seconds) so I started adding applications back in. I have had all the applications I wanted installed as of about 24 hours ago and GPS still worked great. For some reason about an hour ago GPS quick working and would not get a lock no matter what I tried. Google Maps wouldn't lock neither would GPS Status.

I figured I must have corrupt data so I just wiped date/delvic cache/partitions three times each and reloaded RC2.0 and instantly flashed 2.1. So, I now have a completely and freshly wiped phone with apps added except for GPS Status. I still can't got a lock. Any idea what in the world could be going on with my phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
In GPS status did you do list>gps tools>manage a-gps> reset and then download?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbartels:
I hadn't tried that until just now. I did it but it still won't get a fix. Should I ODIN all the way back to stock FROYO?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wizzlewizzle:
If you're getting active results its cause you didn't do something right. NONE of these roms come with CIQ. I've tested for it myself and its inactive. If you're getting anything else start clean, factory wipe 10x and reflash ERA RC2. Don't restore anything. Test the clean rom with voodoo or whatever and you should see on a clean ERA rom there is no CIQ and its inactive. The score I usually get is 170 on voodo.

-Wizzle
[Epic 4G Android Development] wizzlewizzle:
I personally don't like 2.1 update. If you flash a rom wipe 5x I personally wipe 10x and have never had an issue.. I would let it boot up and load and then reboot into cmw to add other mods/updates. I have a friend who installed a bunch of dumb stuff and it broke his gps too.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Just flashed this with the new CWM 5 and have to say it is smoking fast. Quad at 2675 which is the highest I've ever gotten on my phone. Really nice ROM. Thanks a lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No they are not. If the ROM was doing that a lot more people would be complaining. There are hundreds of users running this ROM. The turbo charged script was removed in the betas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mbartels:
Weird. Just noticed that the Google Market is not able to push things to my phone either. I tried to push a few applications to test GPS and none of them actually show up on the phone. Something really weird is going on. Strange for a fresh install. I am also getting notified that new version of voicemail is available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Ok for all the people talking about carrierIQ.... it is defenitely removed from this rom... yes there are still files but that is because they need to be there... they have nothing to latch onto therefore it is not active... if you are getting an active reading it may have been something else you flashed over this rom... easy way to get it inactive again is to go to K0ANE's thread and flash his no carrier iq zip and boom inactive again! Keep in mind these detection apps are very new so they probably still have some flaws right now... it even says it right on the app itself that its not completely accurate right now. Take what it says with a grain of salt. Running rc2.1 samurai 1.0.8 and marcusants new blue theme (amazing) and score of 170 and inactive...

this one:

http://era.techfumaster.com/ERA_EI22_RC_2.zip

I got a replacement Epic from my local Sprint store yesterday so I was coming from totally stock, out-of-the-box Gingerbread. I installed Source-compiled, keyboard fix EI22 kernel via Odin, ACS Recovery 5 via Odin, then flashed super user from ACS Recovery 5. I then used the pre-rom install wipe which wipes data, cache and dalvik cache in ACS Recovery. Then I flashed Legendary Rom within ACS Recovery 5 via the file linked above that I put on my SD card.

that's pretty much it
[Epic 4G Android Development] antmon:
still having problems getting into landscape rotate on the home screen and in the app drawer....only works if i open the keyboard....

wiped data, cache, davlik 3x....flashed this rom, flashed the update to 2.1, flashed the latest samurai kernel.... tried every combo too (flashing all, some while in cwm or individual flashes after a reboot into cwm)....

very frustrating.... any ideas? also ran the calibration from settings and autorotate is active....

i didn't restore anything from titanium backup either...

thanks.

ps is it intended to not have the 'clear' button available when sliding down the notification bar??
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
What homescreen launcher are you using? Sounds like its just the launcher not being set up right.

And the "Clear" button only shows when there are notifications that can be clear.
[Epic 4G Android Development] antmon:
thanks for reply...

using whatever the default is that came with v2.1

haven't installed any launcher after flashing to that....should I? :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I have been using Zeam. You may like that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] antmon:
ok, will try that....hopefully that gives me landscape all the time without having to open the keyboard...

thought the launcher was already there on the rom...is it not? it looks so after i boot into v2.1 for the first time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
I still think that's your issue, almost everyone who has the ota or a replacement epic with pre installed gb has had to Odin back to froyo in order to root properly. The stock gingerbread installed by sprint or through ota updates from sprint carries a rewrite file in the kernel which rewrites at boot up the std system and all sprint files. This is something sprint just started doing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tsperez:
Will the GituSum 2.0 theme flash over Legendary 2.1?

[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
If it's EI22, then give it a shot... If the theme was done right, it should work on most EI22 ROMs.

Contacts

I updated a friend of mine's phone at work today. He'd been trying to do the OTA gingerbread update and had seen my Legendary :) phone so he wanted me to update his. I was comfortable with it because this is such a solid build. Something was corrupt in his data because it would not boot until I wiped data. That's fine. We decided to just get things back as they were.

The only problem was that contacts wouldn't sync from google. Not sure why. I tried to restore his old build and resync then restore back to Legendary, but his old backup wouldn't boot. Whatever. Restored back to Legendary and everything restored just fine. On the way home tonight I thought about clearing data in the contacts app and seeing if that works, but since it was all wiped and fresh, that probably won't do anything.

Any ideas? (waves at Kenny) ;)

Forgot to mention this is RC2 and had not updated to rc2.1 yet. I can try that tomorrow as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wishkah420:
After getting frustrated from randomrom soft reboots I decided to come back to legendary. I wiped cache partition and dalvik 3x each, flashed rc2, then flashed rc2.1, then flashed samurai 2.08. Rebooted all was well got my gps lock made a call to pay a bill and in the middle of the call my phone rebooted. It came back and I had no in-call volume, if I put it on speaker phone I could hear the other person but that's the only way. Thought maybe it was a bad flash so I re-flashed rc2 not the update. Rebooted still no in-call volume. ****! Then I decided to play it safe a restored my backup, still no in-call volume. Now the only thing I can think of is to odin to stock and if there's still volume take it to Sprint for a replacement. I'm at work now so won't be able to odin for a few hours but was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions I could try while I'm at work? Thanks a bunch!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
HA. Ok I'll give it a shot. Get Titanium Backup on there. Wipe data with that app in Google Services Framework, Gmail, and contacts. Go to settings>accounts. Delete the gmail account if it's there then re-add it and click it and sync contacts. Make sure you are on 3G for best network connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but stock EC05 was RFS, and most ROMs are ext4. You can't restore the stock ROM to an ext4 file system, I found this out the hard way when I first started flashing ROMs. There's a tool around that will reformat the filesystem to RFS, use that, then you can restore his old build, and it should boot.

EDIT: Here's the thread for returning to RFS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904&highlight=stock+ec05
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Yeah, I wondered about that too. But if I can simply get his contacts to sync then there's no need. Thanks for the post though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
There may be two sns accounts and your going to have to delete one of them. Also did you re sign into his google account correctly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Data is data. You can restore it on any file system. That is like saying a database can't be backed up on NTFS and restored on FAT32. Some data from froyo may not be compatible on GB but that is not the problem with his contact restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
I am narrowing down on my battery "killer" and I think things are looking up as far as that goes. I have bounced back and forth between Sleeper (gave up on ACS ICS) and this one and always come back to this one. Scored 23,434,223,339 on my quadrant scores, totally kicks ass! :D

One thing I did notice is when the phone reboots, I have about 145mb of memory free. After about 4-5 hours of not doing much on the phone, there is about 35mb free and it becomes verrry slllloooowwww.

Anyone else experiencing this? Memory leak somewhere? Kernel related (Samurai 2.0.8 which I think fixed a memory leak)? Anyone? Bueller?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is no such thing as memory leaks. Download Memory Booster Lite and look at the task killer. Those 30 apps or so are cacheing, running and killing your memory, speed and battery

verrrry strange.....this is the only rom that doesnt do that for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rkcrawl:
From a programmer's perspective, this is simply wrong. Memory leaks are real, it might not be the posters issue, but they are real and not a difficult concept to understand. Any process, driver, etc can allocate memory, and never free it (when its finished using it) == memory leak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I did state that it was not a "leak" being blamed on the kernel, but is poorly written apps that do not release memory and keep reloading themselves even when never used. I don't call that a leak, I call that bad programming. People here are misled into believing that the phone is losing memory being eaten up by some unknownn process. That is not the case. These "processes" are these bad programs that can be seen with a program like Memory Booster Lite in the task killer. It is unknown why Music decides to arbitrarily load itself 15 minutes after booting, but that can be viewed as a known process and these should be uninstalled or frozen to prevent the slowing down of the system (which is supposed to handle memory lol) and battery usage.

@jarcher12

You do know Maps, GPS, and Navigator kill your battery very quickly, right? Even on charge, it barely maintains it's current percentage in my truck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jarcher12:
Yes aware of that. I did use GPS but sparingly. Have uninstalls rc 2.1 trying out rc 1 again to compare. Will post results later.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Would you be so kind as to direct me to those steps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rkcrawl:
Meh, you said there is no such thing as a memory leaks. All memory leaks are bad programming, they are still leaks. Allocate memory, use it, throw away the pointer without freeing the allocated memory, its a leak. Doesn't matter if its in the kernel or a driver or a running user process. Semantics.

You are right in that attributing memory usage by running apps as a memory leak is misleading.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
My in-call phone volume will be off or "broken" sometimes with some roms. Have never been able to narrow it down, but I have found that if I plug a cable headset thing (mic and earphones type) it will make it sync back up right. It's like it doesn't route the volume correctly or something. Dunno enough about all that to really have a exact answer. I've even had it happen on totally stock before. Give that a try and see if it helps ya.

Are you using a cigarette lighter charger? Because they often do not output the proper voltage and amps for your phone. I have found that using an inverter and then plugging in your wall charger Works great.

(in reference to my in call volume post)

I actually had this problem with Bonsai 4.1.3 (froyo based) probably 6 months ago. Thought it was just my phone broken, so I went to stock to take it in to sprint and it started working normally. Then a day later started doing it again on stock EC05. It did it for me a couple times fairly close together on a GB leak.

Hasn't yet happened to me with Legendary actually.

My speaker actually works with some things, and not with some. It will ring, but the button to answer is like physically greyed out. So even "pushing" it doesn't register an action. It also doesn't work with music. But like I said it DOES ring and have notification sounds.

If that helps steer you towards a fix then great. But like i said i personally haven't had this problem yet with this rom.

Thanks for it also...I really like it so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
May i suggest that instead of hitting home from a opened app, you actually back out of it (closing it). Or go to task manager and manually kill the process.

This has always been a huge problem with my girlfriend, and i try to tell her time and time again that hitting the home buttin in the middle of a browser session or active app does not actually close it... Just keeps it running in the background (draining your battery)

so what's the best way to go back to stock from this ROM so I can start the flashing process over again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
* Odin to Froyo EC05.

* Root your device.

* Flash the EC05toEI22.zip if you want to update your modem to the EI22 one.

* Start the flashing process again (file system, ROM, kernel, etc.)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's pretty much it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Odin the EC05 tar file, OneClick root (CMW 3.1.0.1, purple), wipe everything, flash new ROM.

@algorythm - I just put the latest (2.0.8) Samurai kernel on here last night, and it's been working well so far. Odd thing was, when I first flashed the kernel, it defaulted to 100/600 for the speeds. Obviously needed to change that, but it's been working great for me at 100/1200 so far.
