Hmm, I was on the phone walking to my car, and when I got there audio switched to Bluetooth as soon as I turned it on and continued working perfect through the car. The only problem I've ever seen with Bluetooth on this ROM is getting it to turn on after its been off and the phone has been turned on a while, but that problem appears to be fixed now in 3.4.3 as it was easily repeated in all other versions for me. Do you have problems on other ROM's too? I returned my first epic for an intermittent Bluetooth radio.

Edit: one thing I forgot to check was 4g today, everything else works great so far been on it since this morning! Can't wait for EL30!
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
I got some fc's on the phone app as well. Did it a few times then started working fine...may try a full install and see of that fixes it
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm really confused now, because I have no idea why this is happening. I see it too. I start a call, and the phone app works just fine... but don't touch any button or it will crash. :(

Well if it's simple, I'll figure it out. Otherwise, I don't believe 4.0 is giving these problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
Installed 3.4.3 last night. First did update on ext4 from 3.4.1 to 3.4.3. Updated quick and with no issues. Then completely wiped and did clean install and it installed fine.

Havent used the phone app yet to see if that has issues like everyone is reporting. I am still having the 4g/wifi issue though on this new version even though i think i saw you said you might have fixed it. Like before a restart fixes it. Hopefully 4.0 will straighten that out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
I was originally on Thunderhawk 3.4.1 MTD (but since no kernel was installed it stayed on Samurai's Seppuku) with no problems and I had assumed it was full version. Just installed 3.4.3 and the installer script said Lite version was enabled. Is that right?

What exactly is missing from the Lite version compared to the Full?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
That means your options.cfg file under SDCARD/clockworkmod is set for lite. You can use the lite/full flash-able to switch back to full prior to flashing the rom.

Originally lite/full was conceived to conserve valuable space. With MTD, this isn't so necessary. Regardless, the apps not included are generally system apps originally included and a few other apps of my choice that many users prefer to not have or replace. I may eventually make a list, but I haven't settled on a final selection yet.

Reboot loop??

Hey I have a general question related to this ROM... First I'm still on 3.3 and have been pretty aggressive about moving apps to a fast 32GB SD card, but I have this issue where on planned reboots the phone gets into this quasi-infinite reboot loop. Often it will resolve on its own after a few cycles, but recently it just keeps going.

Today, when it wouldn't stop I got it into CWM, cleaned the cache and Dalvik cache, then for giggles went through the 'fix permissions' step. The phone only cycled through one reboot after booting up from the cleaning process... so I haven't fully resolved the issue. Could this be related to forcing apps to the SD card or is there somewhere I should look?

Due to trying to move as many apps as possible to the SD card there's approx 100MB of room on internal memory so that's not an issue. LauncherPro does seem to struggle a bit with SD card apps, but when given time to load all icons, seems stable.

Generally 3.3 is going very well so don't know if i'm going to go on 3.4 or wait a bit longer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Gotcha, thank you. Well I'm happy with what installed and I have titanium backup restore what I want

Just wondering when EL30 will be amongst us...I am on another EL30 right now and would like to test without having to wipe and all that...any information would be appreciated :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
3.4.3 does not fix the phone app problem, and I know why. Silly me.

Every time I try an ETA is when a problem crops up. ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimitz87:
was trying to make a tasker task for GPS and it says that my ROM doesn't allow it since Android 2.3+ has additional restrictions on the GPS settings.

says cyangen ROM fixes this does anyone know more about this?

anyone else having that issue?

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Everybody will have that issue still... the update, from what sprints says, came straight from samsung and not directly from sprint so it will bypass the system updates and download and notify no matter what... the only way to stop it for good is to modify your build.prop...

I love this ROM so much I just keep coming back to it.

I just wanted to take a mere second of my time to to express a little gratitude for your presumably hours upon hours of work.

Thanks so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Is this still on track for today? Looking forward to updating wife's phone, currently on 3.3. Which has been very stable with great battery life for her.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Uploading. The latest version should be everything I've tried to make Gingerbread be. Huge thanks to Senseisimple for a few parts I've borrowed. Like Froyo before it, ThunderHawk can now successfully install terminal emulator with bash, safely install flashlight, fully install adobe flash, usb tether, and vlingo for full users (taken from Galaxy SII).

MTD, EXT4, and RFS installations should now be fully compatible.

Etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Most excellent!!!

Been running TH Final since its release, and so far so awesome!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
its been working great on my phone also except I am still have the 4g/wifi issue- hopefully the 4.0 version will solve that.

also, not really an issue, but i noticed even after updating it still shows 3.4 in the system information instead of 3.5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Are these problems only for a certain file system? Because I'm on MTD and haven't had issues with phone apk or wifi or 4g

[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Did something change with TH 3.5 what would prevent using a different kernel? I was able to use Samurai (BML) kernel with TH 3.3 and now right after the kernel load, when the boot animation should display I get blank screen, a few video sync lines then the phone powers off. Fortunately I I performed a backup and restored the original TH 3.5...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Two things:

1. Be absolutely sure you have the right format kernel.

2. You may possibly just have to flash a second time. The same went for 2 different kernels I tested. I've seen this problem, for some reason the elaborate installer-scripting of ThunderHawk can cause an issue like this. I flashed the green theme over top of my setup and rebooted without a status bar. A second flash of the theme fixed everything as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Unfortunately I haven't seen this issue. Try flashing a theme over your phone, it will reflash the mms apk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
im on ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Reflash the kernel a 2nd time or the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
The kernel.

anybody having a problem deleting a word when composing an email using swype? Physical keyboard is fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Oddly enough, yes. Has it always done that with this Swype version? I tend to use the physical keyboard for emails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Any suggestions on a good kernel or just use the one that came with it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
I'm not sure.almost think its the email app cause it works fine for text & xda app.I'll have to test on gmail. No biggy, went it screws up I just open to keyboard.nice work BTW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
Until this I hadn't seen any issues with Swype at all, but I use the gmail app and it works perfect.

It must be something with the email app, I haven't been able to duplicate it with anything else.

To anyone who hasn't taken a look at my update blog portion of my site, I will be posting information there before anywhere else.

I will also be posting polls regarding how I proceed with certain developments. While I will clearly do what I feel is best in the end, this is your opportunity to voice an opinion.

p.s. I believe polls only show up in the full site, not the mobile version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
okay... so once again i tried an incremental installation from 3.4.3(it had been a fresh install) to 3.4.5 this time. As when i tested the incremental install of 3.4.3 from 3.3... i feel as if there are still issues. and as i like fresh installs, i do data wipes generally before fresh installs and just use my backup root to bring back to life in a few minutes my programs/data.

the version number doesn't change with or without said data wipe. this doesn't make me very confident the incremental install fully works, also since i've not seen any mention or response to this yet. the kernel seems to install fine.

another thing making me think the incremental install may not be working properly, is i started to get crashes to phone and google framework. I was pretty sure those were supposed to be fixed.

also i'm not sure if they're supposed to happen or not, but programs don't install with incremental. which is a sore spot since Wired Tether didn't install either.

scooted myself back to clean gb to come from an RFS rom... and did the full install of 3.4.5. everything seems fine. version numbers there etc. all the programs install fine, awesome job on the flashlight and hard to install ones etc. love Wired Tether. i've only been testing the full install since this morning, but so far no issues. i had syncing problems also with 3.4.3 which are non-existant now as well.

i probably won't very thoroughly test this rom though as 4.0's on the horizon. sorta just biding my time and waiting.

for 4.0 i think i'll just skip the incremental install in general as i'm a lil unsure its working properly. i do look forward to it though, just to get rid of the system update message for good. :)

kudos overall though. this is still my favorite rom i've used in a while. when 4.0 hits i think i'll switch over to MTD finally and even start designing themey stuff based around it.

~le poof~
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
BML seems to perform under a hit-or-miss scenario, at least for a few people. Fresh or Incremental installs perform just fine on MTD in all my testing. It is for this reason that I will be proceeding with MTD henceforth.

MTD Advantages

-Increased Storage Space

-CyanogenMOD Compatibility

-Miui Compatibility

MTD Disadvantages

-None
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
I haven't installed any custom kernels yet, but I just noticed that in System Settings it says I'm on an EL30 kernel. Is that normal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Yup, all of my roms are supposed to flash a kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
I just started getting fc's on the phone app again :(

Hanging up after dialing and sometimes while in the middle of a call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
yep, google system framework started crashing on me again too this morning.

alas, the BML version of the 3.4.5 build at least, is definitely not stable... for me. your mileage may vary. last stable build i ran was 3.3.

i'll prolly start playing with other MTD roms today, they now seem stable enough to play around on, i'll be back to try Thunderhawk 4.0. i really do love the battery life off the rom. and the neat installation stuff. :)

~le poof~
[Epic 4G Android Development] gbrement:
I was on Thunderhawk 3.3 BML, switched to MTD, then installed Thunderhawk III final version. Had to uninstall and reinstall the swipepad to get it to work right. Also, had to uninstall and reinstall setcpu in order to overclock. Other than that, everything is running great, not having any problems or FCs at all.

Love this rom Randomking. I also have a HP touchpad 32gig and would love to see something from you for it :-). You do great work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
Is it safe to flash the latest Samurai Seppuku MTD kernel over this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Of course. If it gets stuck in a boot loop for some odd reason, flash the kernel a second time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
hey, i'm using older version of this, it stopped my swype from working today. do i have to install the latest version or is there an apk or something to get my swype working again? version of this i'm using is the first one released that stopped the memory leak. it works fine so I haven't bothered backup up, upgrading, reinstalling everything etc and would rather not do so if I don't have to.

SWYPE

Ah, Swype.

Unfortunately, since the Froyo version that initially came on our phone, we've been employing the latest and greatest versions with better features. But all of them have still been betas, and apparently this particular one expired today. I do not know if, or how to modify it to avoid expiration. Nor do I currently know where to pickup the next available version. Instead, I recommend doing what I have just finished doing. Install the swype beta installer.

Here's how:

1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:

- /system/app/Swype.apk

- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]

2. Next, head here to download the installer.

3. The rest is pretty self explanatory.

You do have to sign up to be a tester if you're not already, I have been for some times. I assure you, it's a harmless process and won't flood your email account. :D

I wish I could make this easier, but for some time now, Swype has only been releasing beta versions and they will all expire at some point. If anyone has a newer working Swype I can use in the next version, I'll look into it.

As a bonus, if you follow my instructions, then your Swype personal dictionary will carry into the new Swype beta!​
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
okay, thanks, i signed up for the beta site, so will download the installer, but it said something about it won't work on your phone if swype not preinstalled or something so wasn't sure, but I'm excited to get swype back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It doesn't work if it is already installed, but my steps instruct you on how to uninstall it. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Along the lines of the swype thing, there's no activity on the site after i run the installer :( boo
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
after following the steps, my swype is working again, thank you!! a bit bummed that the line isn't blue anymore but as long as it works, i'm happy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
Finally got it to install, but then got the (process com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly. Gah!!!!!!! Any suggestions?

::EDIT:: finally got things to install, i guess the swype installer didn't like how it was in my phone had to remove it and start from scratch, now i got it all. whew
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I followed these instructions and it worked... initially. All was well and my dictionary seemed to still be there. Then, I set my phone down for a good hour. I cam back to type a text, and suddenly NO words are working. It's like the dictionary has suddenly disappeared. It just says "Please Try Again" over and over. Any suggestions?

It also keeps popping up asking me to Accept the User Agreement every time it opens. Something is not right here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] locomariachi:
yeah you're going to completely uninstall EVERYTHING like Random says, then reboot. Install the swype installer, reboot. After that, log in, sign up, get the beta. Let that install, then reboot. I left my phone off for about 20 minutes after I did that step, then after i made swype my keyboard of choice, I was good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I ended up just doing that. I lost my dictionary, but it's working now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
I'm getting horrible battery life. Maybe 7h, and 78% of usage is Android System.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Same thing happened to my wife's phone after following all the steps. Sometimes Swype is just a pain and you have to try a second time.

While I can't speak to horrible battery life specifically, the high Android system usage isn't unusual. Keep in mind, the usage has to add up to 100% at all times, so if there's 5 processes using a total of 20-30%, then the remaining 70-80% idle process will be allotted to Android System. With heavy usage on a large battery, I've gone 1 hr 30 min of screen time in 14 hours right now with 86% battery left. 51% of usage is still allotted to Android System.

As to the horrible battery life, you'll have to be more specific:

1. What have you changed?

2. Is this a clean install or incremental?

3. What services are shown in the background?

4. What sync services do you have on(google, facebook, etc.)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kehlan:
Before revisiting this thread, I did a clean install and it APPEARS that my battery life has returned to normal... If it starts acting out again I'll do an analysis and report back.

But to answer question 2, I always do clean installs. I've had bad experiences with flashing over anything unless it's designed to work as such.

Phone app FC's

Kind of bummed, been having FC's with the phone app all day and issues with bluetooth, wifi and 4G. It seems to get progressively worse to the point of making the phone itself unusable.

Beginning to wonder if it's my phone.

I've been trying to hold out for 4.0 but I think i'm going to have to try a clean install and see if that fixes things.

I'm hoping it's just something that keeps getting carried over with each upgrade(haven't done a clean install in awhile, I really like the new update method)

Thanks as always for your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
I feel the same. On 3.3 I had stats like yours above.

To answer your questions

1. Nothing but Go Launcher and other apps.

2. Clean. The second install.

3. bluetooth services shows currently.

4. google sync only.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
I had an install of version 3.4. I wanted to upgrade to 3.5.

I downloaded 3.5 and installed no problem.

But then I looked at the version # on my phone, and it said 3.4. So I downloaded 3.5 again, and attempted another install (of what turned out to be the same code base).

I started getting FCs, as explained by several people here.

Then I read that the version # wasn't updated properly in 3.5. So on a whim, I reflashed 3.5, for the THIRD time, and my FCs went away.

The moral of the story... if you get FCs on teh phone app and from your launcher... reflash again. I'm thinking something is up with the built-in toggles, and a re-flash straightens it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gadget008:
Ok I am confused by the first step in fixing swype

1. First, using a file explorer delete the following files:

- /system/app/Swype.apk

- /system/lib/libswypecorexxxxx.so [the x's stand in for the exact number]

I cannot access the system folder can someone guide me on how to access these two folders and delete the items they are asking for?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
You can use ES File Explorer, which is already installed. Click on the first icon at the top toolbar when it opens to get to the root of the phone. Then, follow the path from there.

When I followed these instruction though, I did end up having errors where Swype lost its entire dictionary hours later. I ended up having to completely uninstall Swype and reinstall it again through the installer. It's working fine now, but I lost my user dictionary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v4g480nd:
Swype (or other FC issues)

Run "fix permissions" under rom manager if you're getting any type of FCs as a first step to troubleshoot. Best advice I can give without looking at your kernel output.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed this (mtd) and it was soooo buggy and lagging everywhere.. like the media scanner literally took over 10 minutes and titanium took about half an hour to restore 12 apps..
