So far, so good! Restored most my apps and data without a hitch.

Lockscreen setting is remembered now, thanks! (Though the default for turning on the phone is still going straight to the lockscreen, despite it being off)

I keep getting Force closes for Google Services Framework, however I was reading in another thread to wipe the data in TI to fix this, so did just that. we'll see. I assume this is related to the GPS fix.

UPDATE: I'm getting sync errors for my contacts, unless this is something on Google's end again.

Actually I have a whole lot of weird things involving Contacts / Phone Dialers. I'll try a quick reflash

UPDATE 2: Despite the reflash.... It seems contacts / Contacts storage is completely missing. There's also no dialer icon, Thus no call history, etc. Even installing a third party app brings up no contacts on the phone. I'm unable to add any contacts either.

Market is giving me a server Error, I can't refresh or load it whatsoever.

Messaging app crashes.

Wi-Fi automatically turns off after about 10 seconds of using.

Google talk doesnt open at all. I can't use this as to try to fix some of the other Google problems.

Sad to say, but I think I'm going back to 1.0.08. :(

UPDATE 3: I updated to CWM5 and redownloaded a fresh copy of the rom, did a full wipe.

Contacts and Dialer began to work again, as did Market and Messaging. WiFi still turns off, and I still have trouble with Gtalk, though I never use it. Not sure what went wrong with my first download. probably the consequence of the early morning.

Downloaded 1.0.0.9 and received an MMS error upon first boot. Upon reboot getting Force closes with Swype stopping unexpectedly. will reinstall swype to see if that corrects issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
I don't know if under volting by default is a good idea. Fresh install of 09 and nothing changed or running but a web browser and wifi and the phone has crashed once already.

I'm gonna but all voltages back to stock and see if this 09 ROM is stable for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Very good improvements

The first time I tried this rom it lagged so much I had to un-install it after 5 minutes. I decided to give it another try today and I must say the latest version is quite impressive. I am getting very stable performance all around, overall this is a very impressive ROM.

The only thing I have noticed is every once in awhile, my unlock screen will spaz out. The unlock button that you must press and swype to the top of the screen, sometimes drops all the way to the bottom of the phone, and I have to swype my finger from the very bottom of the phone, all the way to the top.

No big deal, just a very strange bug. Maybe i should try reflashing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] daafisch:
Tested the Bluetooth this morning on my morning commute and it was a lot better. Previously it would lag my phone to the point I would keep Bluetooth off. So far the rom has been running really well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Contacts/Framework/GAPPS have always plagued me when moving from rom to rom or version to version... in particular restoring with titanium. i've gotten it better by only restoring the critical - sms, wifi passwords, and my user apps... everything else will sync from.

Can anyone else confirm a wifi issue? i'm always on wifi and have tested the wifi/3g/2g over the past few days, switching back and forth and it works as expected.

I had qualms about this... i'm thinking samurai kernel, while good, is a bit unstable as a cooked in kernel, it likes to play alone...

did that correct the issue with swype?
[Epic 4G Android Development] punzada:
Been playing with .09 (slim as always for me) for the last hour or so (formatted /data and restored selectively from titanium).

So far so good, codecs issue seems resolved (I use mVideoPlayer for it's subtitle support and it can only play codecs that are native on the phone, and it plays mkv h264 without issue).

I did notice a few things on the 'slim' version such as a unit conversion app (was easily uninstallable) and connectbot (I actually use irssi connectbot so I don't mind it being there - just not sure if you meant to include it on the slim or if it was just leftover from testing). Also notice the Task app now (has that always been there? I don't mind it actually, I just use evernote, hardly a big deal)

I'm not sure which version of Swype that has been included (3.26.92D.36178.t0 I know but I just don't follow development of it that closely) but I think the theme and colors on it are very nice, and now since you've set it not to have vibrating feedback I actually like it a lot more (just never occured to me to even bother to disable it previously).

So far so good, haven't left the office yet to test GPS and such but I'm sure I will soon. Wifi has been stable for me.

On a side note, on Froyo I was always able to adjust the volume of google navigation and my music seperately (I use PowerAMP for my music playback). Also when google navigation would announce the turn by turn it would pause the music, announce the navigation and replay the music - it was really impressive. I've never been able to replicate that on Gingerbread, kind of unfortunate. Very minor though, very 'first world problem' lol.

edit: walked out to my car to get something, 11 sat lock before I even made it back into the office and it's a cloudy rainy day here on Long Island, GPS seems good so far as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daafisch:
Actually, I'm not able to get on wifi either. I haven't done a full wipe as I came from .8 but I'll give that a try.

EDIT: Wiped data and now wifi is working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tnynyn:
Just flashed this from 1.0.0.8 and its much more smooth/faster. Bluetooth and wifi works great so far. No issues with MMS or anything. Haven't had the chance to test anything else yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
Actually, this sounds like a setting in PowerAmp.

Settings > Audio Engine > Audio Focus change, check and see if Short Audio Focus Change is checked.

EDIT:

On a different subject, My wifi still does not work after doing the suggested wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
This ROM keeps crashing my phone and making it reboot. Its happened twice now today. Last time it happened when I was using the web browser getting ready to log onto facebook.

anyone else having this issue?

go to m.facebook.com

Click on the username box, start typing, and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
About the wifi issue, i've looked into the possibilities, but can't spot anything overtly wrong, mine is running flawlessly and switching back and forth between 3g/wifi OK, the one thing is that it doesn't pop up the Wifi selection panel, so i had to manually select in settings (this bugs me so will be fixed)... I suggest to flash the latest samurai kernel, or nubernel and see if this changes anything. try nubernel first. let me know if this solves it, otherwise please post the result.

Is it only rebooting when browsing? The browser issue is an identified problem with most if not all of the current GB roms, it's been suggested to try Opera browser for now. This issue is also relevant to 4G switching which may/may not cause a reboot randomly.

Otherwise, random reboots are not expected (generally reported) with this rom/kernel combination.

A question for everyone

I see 380+ downloads in the past 24 hours with a few reports, is anyone else experiencing any untoward behavior with the ROM that i should know about, also, how are most of you flashing - Rom Manager, clean slate (format /data /system /cache), Factory Restore, or just running it straight and in what CWM version?

Also, how is the general experience compared to previous versions (in particular if you ran v1.0.05), and compared to other ROMs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
Flashed Nubernal, same problem. It automatically turns off after about 5 seconds. If I manually switch it off, it turns back on again, then shuts off on its own after a few seconds. Nubernal also has an issue with broken video recording, and an extra boot logo that I don't really care for. It also locked up when I tried to shut down the phone.

Flashed IAP, wiped cache and dalvik, same problem.

I reflashed to 1.0.08, cleanly, then downloaded yet another clean copy of 1.0.09, flashed 09 over 08, and wifi began to work again. Restoring my data breaks it. At least I know where the problem lies now. I should also note that stock messaging and Gtalk no longer crash, so all of my initial reactions have been the fault of bad downloads and corrupt data, I suppose.

Overall, the ROM feels much more snappier and responsive than 08, much like my first reaction was to 05 (1.0.05 was the first one I used)As far as other problems go, I haven't found anything. I have a gripe about a lot of duplicate ringtones, but its no big issue.

One thing I don't like about using TI is when I do a restore, it asks to confirm each and every app before installing it. Is there anyway around this? perhaps a more automated method? This will be the 4th or 5th time today that I'm restoring apps. xd.

UPDATE:

The wifi selection panel popped up just fine for me.

When I wiped my data, I forgot that it also wiped my luncher, and I had already removed ADW, so now have to do another quick flash.

UPDATE 2: Reflashed cleanly again, which broke wifi. This seems to be a hit/miss sort of thing. Seems on the times that wifi works, I ant get anything else to work. When the phone boots up, Setup wizard force closes and nothing happens, but the wifi selection comes up just fine. The same thing happens when I do a factory restore. If I try flashing, maybe, 4-5 more times, I might be able to get everything working right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
Thanks for your response on the kernels and solutions!

data data data... doing a full (blind) restore in titanium, no matter when or how always messed things up especially with the heavily modded roms (like this one). The key is to pick and choose what is most important to restore when it comes to system and be minimal.. i always only restore Wifi details, SMS/MMS, call log, etc - the green items) and don't miss anything... I always feel like i'm playing russian roulette when i want to restore my system Settings so i try it but it usually makes something force close...

the batch mode in Titanium is probably the closest to what you're asking, you can use BATCH RESTORE ALL APPS WITH DATA, then DESELECT ALL and select all the apps you want to restore in one fell swoop - you have the option of restoring ONLY APP, ONLY DATA or APP+DATA.. so i use the APP+DATA only for restoring user apps, and anything SYSTEM, only restore data - and then only the GREEN items because it's possible that titanium is actually restoring the system app (replacing portions of the ROM which were modded or chosen for compatibility - then giving you FCs).

the thing that is promising is the use of Labels in titanium because they let you group apps, then filter them so you can do a batch backup/restore with JUST those apps - BUT i've not been able to have the labels be remembered after a wipe - which is wrong because titanium tends to store and retrieve its settings from the backup dir which is a practical issue since to back itself up, it needs to pause/shut itself down..(notice how there's no Restore/Backup Titanium from within itself). So Try playing with labels but be wary that i haven't had any luck actually using them to restore...

Also, always reboot at least once after restoring system data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
This 1.0.09 ROM comes with a lot of the cpu frequency steps under volted.

Try this and see how your phone runs for a day. Open voltage control. Turn all the voltages up all the way. This is hard to do on my phone as the slider is a little touchy towards the end of the screen. But make sure that no voltage is taken away from the base number for that speed.

See if that is stable for you. I had similar issues, and it appears as my phone's CPU chip is not off of a "prime" piece of real estate on the platter it was made. So I cannot under volt at all.

Every phone is different for overclocking, and under volting it. Some are beasts, others can't handle it.

I've now had 11 hours of mod / heavy use, no reboots. Undervolted I lasted 10 min.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

I came in at 1.0.07, and I have to say this is way better than 07, 07a, or 08. All my radios have been working fine(wifi is a little lazy when coming back to a previous AP, but that is OK and I have seen it with a lot of custom roms).

My phone does not tolerate under volting at all it seems. So I had to up it back to stock, which isn't a problem with the ROM.

While I do like the CRT on animation / thing. There is a little .3ish to .6ish second delay it brings with it if the phone has been asleep for along time. Just barley noticeable, but would be nice it if never happened.

I use ACS recovery 1.0 which I think is CWM 4 based. I use the factory re sest/whip in CWM and then use the pre-rom whip which formats the dalvik cache as well. 11 hours of what I consider mod / heavy use, and still have some juice left. I did sent the CPU governor back to ondemand because I like smoothness.

This ROM is FAST! Which is what I like! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
I just had another random reboot... system crashed when using the Marketplace.

Sucks really bad :(

I really like this rom, but for some reason my phone wont handle it. Only rom my phone completely rejects.

Of course its the rom that I like the most. damnit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
Put all of your voltage settings back to stock in voltage control. Slide the green bar all the way to the right on all speed steps.

My top & lowest setting for example is:

1100 Mhz / 1300 - 0 = 1300mV

...

100 Mhz / 950 - 0 = 950mV
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Can I just remove the voltage control app? Will it go back to stock settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
I'm not 100% here, but I wouldn't try that.

Just try what I suggested, no under volt for any speed! Move the sliders all the way to the right. I think you will find what I said works great.

I like also like the ondemand governor better than conservative. Maybe a little more battery drain but, when I use my phone, I want it to work NOW and no slug.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phdeez:
I was on 1.0.07a and had ALL kinds of problems with my radios- wifi not working at all, 3g sporadic, and 4g never working, but not 1 random reboot.

Upgraded to 1.0.09 last night and had constant reboots on Titanium Backup. Opened Voltage Control and noticed OC action. So, I set it back to 200-1000, and still had all kinds of reboots. Checked VC again- everything was undervolted. Set everything back to "normal" voltage and system stabilized pretty well. I just recently re-enabled 100 Mhz and 1100 and so far looking good (I could OC to 1.3Ghz on Froyo with no problems).

SenseiSimple- it might be best practice to include Voltage Control but leave voltages "normal" and not OC'd/UC'd. I honestly was really close to going back to my 1.0.07a nandroid backup due to all the problems I was having.

Also, I formatted system, data, cache, then installed ROM *AND THEN* fixed permissions... that might help as an extra step to include following a flash. Just an idea.

Oh yeah, I tested all my radios today (wifi, 3G, 4G, BT and GPS) all work like a BOSS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
Thanks for answering... I know it supports bootanimation but what about shutdown animation + sound?
[Epic 4G Android Development] syntax_erorr:
+1

Radios are 100% better. I also agree on no UV.

EDIT:

Found that the music player will not play with a low < 10% battery, camera works with low bat though.

I just did a no-wipe update from .08 to .09. Data made it, all my theming is intact...everything looks great. Only one issue - I can't get my wifi to work at all. It turns "on", says "scanning", but finds nothing & then shuts itself off.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for responding, my post got to be quite a mess from all of the additions I kept making, so it was quite a headache for me as well xd.

Anyways, I bought a TI pro license, and it processes much faster than the free method. What I disliked was the "Install, next, repeat" process, but this doesnt occur with a pro license.

I'd like to note that I seem to be getting better battery life now as well, but I'll see once my phone charges up for the night.

I still seem to be having Market issues that I had with 1.0.08. Tried to install QuickPic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] castkel:
Hmmm can't seem to get this to work. I came from clean install. Wiped data/cache/dalvik. First time boot I got FC for setupwizard then black screen. Scrollable mod works notifications and epic lock. 2nd boot gets stuck in a boot loop although CRT On/Off animation works. I redownloaded twice and flashed from clean install several times. Any suggetions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
Hmm, I found this link while searching for app mods:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863519

It's a bit old, but should still be relevant. I also read somewhere to turn off "Force Compatibility" inside spare parts, might help. I may try doing this myself to regain proper looking tw apps. Brought the link here in case theres any other users of this rom who use lower DPI settings. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
How are you doing the clean install? if you are doing Factory Reset, it's possible it's not totally clean because of the way this rom handles the /data partition.

I suggest you try this for a clean install:

in CWM > Mounts and storage (i think it's called) > Format /data, Format /system, Format /cache... do NOT format /sdcard, obviously. then run the install.

if that doesn't work, the only other thing i can think of is that your phone can't handle the slight undervolt and is thus rebooting.

Try to revert to the default clock/voltages/io scheduler/governer, flash the zip attached to this post, it will remove that customization, and may solve the issue.

LOWER DPI?! i like squinting to read text... makes people think i'm REALLY focused on what i'm looking at!

if you don't mind me asking, what would you say are "proper looking" tw apps? I know some themed apps are simply not compatible without an update to let them work for higher resolution.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
I thought I remembered reading something about an intended Vibrate change, but I've noticed that I have no vibrations anywhere. Not even when touching the front buttons, no haptic response, no vibrate from the *#0VIB# Test..

I think the change was actually kernel related, so I'll test that out in a bit...

Seems its a problem with my phone itself.

UPDATE: Flashed Legendary and stock rooted roms, Vibrate works fine.

Im just not having the best of luck today, at all!

another reflash, vibrate working, but missing apps (one being settings, bit of a vital piece.). Could this be the method of installing? I flashed the latest CWM, 5.0.2.7, but I could try flashing with CWM3 purple.

UPDATE(14?): After many, many, many tries, I finally got everything functioning right. You can pretty much skip everything above.

Hopefully this will be my last re-flash...Restoring backups is losing its fun.

As far as proper looking it's more of just an annoyance. Things dont stretch right, and it's strange that it's TW that does this (Blur and Sense never did this.)

The number pads are all always set to a fixed resolution, rather than fitting the width of your screen.

http://imgur.com/a/7LJq8#H8Fgl

A few other apps do this as well...Calculator comes to mind. The apps were all made to fit an LCD density of 240, which I think is too high for such a big screen.

I goofed when I said lowerDPI, I guess the DPI would be higher, while the density is lower.

I have mine set to 200, though I read you can go down to 182 before it starts FCing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] alextjen:
Does doing a prerom wipe in acs recovery v5.0 complete the sd card formatting you listed above?

When I try to install this rom I go to pre rom install wipe in acs recovery. I do this 6x before installing the rom.

Is that enough or should I be doing more steps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ehurt152:
I've always heard from qbking you only have to wipe pre rom install once. That's all I've ever done with zero issues.

And this does nothing to the sd card.
[Epic 4G Android Development] castkel:
For a clean install I Odin the pre-rooted EI22 tar and format like you suggested in the OP. I tried the attached zip same result
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonrr987:
Hey out of curiosity am I the only one here having problems switching between 4g and wifi. The problem I'm having is that once I'm either using wifi or 4g and can no longer use data on the other until a reboot. But I can only use one per reboot. Its strange because it works like its supposed in either the acs or marcusant roms but not it this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated but other than this the rom is amazing keep up the good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonysohn:
Having exactly the same problem... Either wifi or 4G per reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Yes, exactly my symptoms also. I have tried over and over with the same results.

On stock w/Samurai 2.0.8 and CWM 5.0.2.7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonrr987:
Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one, but it sucks because this is one of the few roms that doesn't hog up memory like crazy and it doesn't have the lockscreen mod which eats my battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
I'm excited about 1.0.09 but I am also frightened to mess up a good thing. The "major" issues I had with 1.0.08 were fixed with a new video player. I'm afraid that if I flash .09 that other problems will come up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SenseiSimple:
I can't seem to reproduce the Wifi/4G issue, i just disabled wifi, enabled 4g browsed the internet a bit, enabled wifi, browsed the internet, disabled wifi, it jumped back to 4g, as far as automatic switching i haven't tested but i do know there is a <=1 minute delay when switching automatically from 3g back to wifi which is a function of the scan interval set to save battery, i'll keep trying it - i must note that 4G hasn't caused my phone to spontaneously reboot yet as with the previous versions.

As for those who are doing an odin/stock conversion, i have an idea i'm testing now for you. After doing your stock EI22 odin restore, flash the attached zip FIRST, then install SleeperROM. don't wipe, don't format anything, the fix attached will clean/format the phone in prep for this rom. PLEASE ME KNOW HOW IT WORKS OUT.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
Just tested out 4g myself, 4g won't turn on without first turning off wifi, but wifi will turn on while 4g is on. I don't have an issue having to reboot to use either/or though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
:eek::eek:

YES!!

That zip worked perfectly!! No more FC or black screen on startup. I can finally give your rom a whirl!

Thanks for your quick support!
[Epic 4G Android Development] castkel:
We have liftoff!! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
For some reason, whenever I turn on my wifi, it shuts off half a minute later on its own without having anything pop up. I don't need it too much now, but I'll do a format once the next version comes out.

All in all, great rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasAggie97:
Funny thing, my stock phone would not allow 4G to turn on with WiFi activated and viceversa!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonrr987:
Its not that they don't connect because I can switch between the two just fine its that data doesn't work on 4g once I've used wifi and vice versa until I reboot
