Thanks for the update and teaser.

Interesting -- I know that the use percentage graph is not really accurate, but I never got a battery usage profile with "Android System" at the bottom of it. On mine, it's always on the top.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
You'll note that I never turn off Wifi, either. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
Will the EI22 modem work with the 3.2 version? I'm currently on EI22 and was wondering if I needed to odin one of the modems listed in the instructions (EI22 was not on the list). If I need to get off EI22, which one works the best with this ROM?

TIA

EDIT: Nevermind. I should have read the OP on this thread and not just Random's website. Sorry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Hey RandomKing,

Any plans to make an MTD version of this ROM? I switch between this and CM7 pretty often and I'm trying to minimize Odin use.

Can't wait for 3.3 to drop!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I still don't know much about it. If I can be convinced that it's worthwhile, or that all devs are jumping on board, then that will be for 3.4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
interesting; if I leave wifi on it get worse battery life (that started though when I got my dlink 855 - have to say; not very happy with that router)

I only use wifi if I am updating from market or using the wireless file transfer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I have amazing battery life on wifi only as well. I've left it on for hours on idle while not really using it except the occasional text and barely seen an impact on my battery. It might drop a % point? :D

Anxiously awaiting 3.3. I can't wait to get rid of this ram leaking lockmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I have been running 3.3 without lockmod for 7+ days now 100% reboot free. This is some smooth stable stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Is the lockmod and the status bar settings separable or are the one and the same?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sparkyr:
Am I missing the download in a post somewhere or are you just testing for RandomKing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
When do the rest of us get a crack at it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Momentarily.

1535 Downloads At The End Of 3.2.

Thank you all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
Thanks!!!

So, to get lite install, we could 1) flash Lite-full.zip or 2) edit sdcard/clockworkmod/options.cfg - and specify lite=yes?

And to get the scrollable status bar, we have to edit options.cfg or is that also available through Lite-full.zip flash?

Might be useful to have downloadable preset options.cfg files for other than the default options (i.e., full, scrollable with advance power button | lite, scrollable with advance power button).
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It will get to be too many options and things to download. I'm uploading a single options.cfg file. It will be set for "Ultimate" mode. I.e. Full with Scrollable Toggles and full Advanced Power Menu.

Download it to your computer and place it under /sdcard/clockworkmod or download it straight to your phone and use an app like ES File Explorer to move it. Then, either from your phone text editor or computer notepad++ you can simply change no's and yes's to your hearts' content. Pick your favorite settings, and all future installations will abide by them.

The Lite/Full utility will only affect it's namesake, but will preserve any values entered after it.

Also, remember, you can adjust the two options after installing the rom. Edit the file created by the rom with ES File Explorer to your liking, and then flash the theme to apply the changes.

UPDATE: Optional Customizations has been updated to reflect a download link.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
One more q: did you put any special Random sauce (performance- or battery-life related tweaks) on the framework or SystemUI that would make flashing a non-Random theme undesirable?

EDIT: specifically, the non lock-mod theme. I guess I could diff the files with my personal theme, but it might help the general population to know what or if you applied some other-than-aesthetic love to the theme files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
No sir. But the lock mod, and anyone else's lock mod themes may replace certain services that have been modified. My two versions, on the other hand, share everything, which is why it took so long to make sure everything lined up perfectly. Furthermore, there are some edits to the systemui.apk, such as the battery-full pop-up mod and the 1x roaming mod. Also, flashing a different framework-res.apk may or may not allow for certain power menu options. Flash it, boot, and if something FC's, you know there's a problem. :D

UPDATE: Mooost mods to the framework and systemui I can think of are superficial, they shouldn't be system-breaking. Even the lockmod framework does work without the rest of the mod... it'll just give you the puzzle lockscreen.

I modded sooo many files that I can't remember at the moment what mod affected what, but that should be okay.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I have been getting abolutely CRAZY battery life with 3.3; I am only experiencing 2-3% drain over night. I have been and still are blown away at what Random as been able to accomplish with this rom.

These are the only things I do for battery at this moment.

setCPU - 200-1000 + 1 profile for screen off of 200-200.

GPS is off; use networks for location is on.

Fancy weather - set to update only on unlock; all other auto updates off

I don't use the lock mod as its a RAM eater - i just find my phone to be 100% more stable w/o it.

THANK YOU for making that optional!!!!!

I don't use facebook app to sync; their app has been a battery hog for the last 4-5 months; just use SNS (androids own account sync) to sync contacts (I have it set to once a day) and calendar

Only issue I had was Sprint Hotspot wouldn't work for me; as with everything with these phones. YMMV ... I did test this Wifi Tether for Root Users and it worked perfectly

(http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...etail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta7.apk&can=2&q=)

A+++ love this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Surprisingly, 1/4 of the 40 downloaders so far have also downloaded the lockmod... while it is an awesome feature, I can't stress enough that the super stability of this rom is ONLY achieved by NOT using this feature!

Yes, it makes me sad too, but that's why I didn't abandon it! If you use the lockmod, your phone will still have reboots until a kernel dev finds and fixes the source problem... or never (not a shot at the awesome kernel devs, but Samsung for... giving us the scraps). :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Well I was 2 of those dl's. Just want to take a quick peek at it. 3.3 no lockmod is absolutely the way to go if you want stability. I will post some details about my personal testing in the last weeks in a bit.

Edit: flashing the no lockmod theme was able to restore stability, if you want to run with the lockmod for a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Guide/Review by Qbking77 will be coming! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
I'm about to try this too. Curiously, would it be even possible to make roms have choosable selection menu when installing inside of cwm5? Like install... choice prompt... press 1 for this, 2 for that. I understand this is not how it works, but is it possible?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I've looked into this, and alas, it seems that the commands do not exist in the CWM binary. Conceivably, it could be rewritten this way, but that's wayyy beyond me. An alternate proposition would be an app, where one could program their phone prior to rebooting into CWM to begin flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
So maybe if we all request the cwm guys it could change the way roms install FOREVER!!!! Bwahahaha!!! ::ahems:: but seriously, its an extremely neat idea.

Choice 1-aosp lock

Choice 2-tw lock

Choice 3-9 screen lock

End wishful thinking

Ope, which lockscreen is on this anywhos?

edit: Its a TW Lockscreen, very slick looking(not listed in op anywhere). Also the OP would have me believe that theres not a 4G toggle on the Scrollable Status when there totally is. This is definitely gonna be my main rom, very snappy just playing with it a few minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Here is a quick, off the top of my head, rundown of my testing.

I tried to emulate a wide range of usage while testing, but as always results may vary with different usage and overall end user setup. I run 2 epics in my household, primarily on random's roms since sometime in the middle of leaked gb build development. My better half has been a huge help in letting me use her phone as an instability variable. We have always been able to pull reboots with our combined usage on every previous build of this rom. We were fine with giving up a degree of stability for other features in the rom.

Initially I set up my phone without the lockmod and the lady's with the lockmod. We stayed up on current versions of shadow as they were released. Her phone pulled several quick android os reboots over the course of 3 days. I noticed other minor funky things going on as well on the lockmod phone. I used her phone as the lockmod phone as her usage has shown to pull more instability than mine in the past. We ran with no task killers and stock frequencies/voltages.

After three days of reboots she grew tired hearing me brag about the stability I was seeing. I took her phone, pre theme wiped, and flashed 3.3 no lockmod theme. She has been reboot free and just as stable as my phone for about 5 days now. I am going on 8 days. I would feel safe setting this up on someone's phone that does not live with me. I am seeing a great mix of stability, performance, and battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kapurnicus:
Did not read all 40 some pages. Sorry. I get a status 7 error (error in zip) when installing your rom. I have downloaded it 3 times. I went back to sleeper rom, it is working fine. I am using acs recovery (version 4 of cwm I think) and I was rooted (using the technique in the video from here that got me acs recovery and root on stock originally).

No hurry on a solution (if possible at all), was just interested in trying out your rom. And GOOD WORK!

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
now i had an error first time around.

I did not download the options.cfg and put it in the Clockwork folder. Without it, it rejected my install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Sounds like you still have a bad download. Are you downloading straight to your phone? If you are, try downloading to a computer, or on a better connection.

Shouldnt be possible, if the file doesn't exist, then the rom writes the file itself. If you're loading stuff to your phone through CWM mounting, you may need to reboot the recovery before you use files you just copied to it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Flashing the lite/full switcher before flashing the rom will create the options.cfg file in the proper location.

Edit: listen to random, I am still on the test setup. A few things may have changed. Getting ready to switch to official release stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I'm assuming others aren't having issues, as there's 100 downloads and at least 60 or so of them didn't download anything but the rom... So it muuust be installing "out of the box" properly and I can't be crazy. :D

Trust me, I deleted the file and ran the rom enough times to see the file properly created over and over again...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
It might be a result of me cleaning out my SD card a while ago... but i didn't have the Clockworkmod folder on the card either. maybe thats what caused an error in my install? It might not create both folder + file, just file?

i ended up creating the folder and throwing in the config file and it was spiffy.

the only real issue i see carries over from 3.2. i'm not sure if this is the same for non-scrollable status... but with scrollable status, when i click wi-fi, a network choice doesn't pop. i have to manually choose network through setup.

:)

edit: never used cwm mounting in mah life yet(i'm not super interested in it), i'm also without data cable at the moment so i did everything over phone downloads. ^_^

~le poof~
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
hmm... no folder... That could be the problem, I was under the assumption that most people have made a nandroid backup at some point, in which case you'll have that folder. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
I am dying to try the new version, but I can't get a good download. I have been trying for several hours now with no luck. I got one completed d/l on my laptop, but the zip was corrupt. 4 tries on the phone, but they all just stop. Current d/l on the laptop is at 48 minutes left, and climbing. Is there an alternate site to d/l from?

Actually, I was just getting ready to hit send on this, and the laptop d/l jumped to complete. But, when I try to open the zip, I get an error message that the zip is invalid.

Edit: Not sure what changed, but I finally got a good d/l on my laptop and copied it over to the phone. Flashing now.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
What lock screen is included when not using the lock mod?
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I downloaded from my phone on 4g, did a full wipe 3x, and installed out of the box just fine. Everything is running smooth and fast and NO MORE LEAKAGE!

What happened to the font though? It looks like it reverted back to the default font...?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Standard TW lockscreen - themed to look great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Here is a pic from the test build. Just slide the dot straight up. Wallpaper shown is just something I have been using lately and not included in the rom. You can change it in settings to other stock unlocks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Thank you sooo much for this update I've been looking forward to this

I just have a few questions about things I'm confused about

First... if I downloaded the rom and flashed it I would have the full version correct?

Now the other zip that's to switch from full-lite is just a zip I flash after flashing ur rom?

So if I flash the full version

Then the full/lite toggle zip thingy

Ill have the lite version?

And the seperate 3.3 theme and 9-lockmod r just the theme and lock mod if wanted to use on other roms correct..?

I was reading in the features list and seen that it gives me the option to put advanced power menu or regular

This will be asked during installation?

And last question.. is 4g toggleswitch avalible in the scrollable widgets?

I'm sorry if I'm being annoying but I just wanna make sure

I'm gonna flash this soon so I might figure everything out on my own I just want someone to answer these while I'm eagerly waiting to get off work to flash this lol

Thanksss random
[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
I'm a little confused about the optional .zips...?!?

Can someone break down what each lockmod adds and how it affects the 4G toggle? I've read the OP and instructions 50 times but I still don't know the difference between the .zip options..?

TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
That's exactly what I'm going thru right now lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
right

you flash this first; if you want to change what version you want. Each time you flash the toggle; it changes what version (lite or full) will be flashed when you flash the rom zip.

right; as you'd have the full from the first flash; you then flash the toggle until it says it is set for lite, then flash the rom and you will end up with the lite version.

These are for this ROM; the lock mod as given most people memory issues and causing reboots. So random separated them from the rom. the rom will have the normal TW lock screen, but you can flash the 9-lock (he removed the glass lock because it caused MAJOR havoc)

You can use these zips to switch between the lock and no-lock mod; if you want to check them out

I haven't played with this yet; I am flashing the release and I'll check this out before attempting to answer

See above; there has been an update made to the mod for the toggles. I haven't seen it in what I have tested. Will check after my flash in a few minutes.

EDIT: this has been confirmed by pixlz below:

not at all we're all glad to help

this ROM is rock'n and you'll be very happy with it for sure!!

!!!!!

yes for sure, be sure to hit the thanks button for him too :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Ok, 3.3 thunderhawk is the rom without the lockmod, the most recomended setup. You can flash the lite full switcher back and forth BEFORE flashing the rom to choose between setups. 9 lockmod theme is similar to 3.2, minus the glass lockscreen and a few other things but will most likely cause instability at the cost of customization. No lockmod theme will return you to the same theming as just flashing 3.3 rom. Sprint theme will put sprint in the carrier text of 3.3 no lockmod setup for those that want to run sprint apps such as sprint football.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
I can confirm a working 4g toggle on the scrollable status. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] runner77:
Is changing the options.cfg file the only way to get the scrollable toggles working? I flashed the full version (only the full version) and can't find a setting. Is there anything else I need to do or flash to get this working on my phone?

TIA and sorry for all the noob questions. This is my first rodeo with Thunderhawk but not flashing roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Thank youuu veryy much for all your helpp

See I one day plan on developing roms for phones too so I try t understand everytiny thing I can and also so I can use it now

So I did thank him as u asked and I thanked you too so thanks a lot sir and thank you random for this great rom I've been on all of ur roms ever since ur first 2.1 rom thanks for all the great roms u developed for us
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
So far, i luff this rom.

i usually use/flash seperate dialers. I've fallen for that sexy blue/black dialer from ICS 4.0 and have used it ever since. I edited the contact tab background to match this Rom. :)

I use a different faded blue/black MMS by Turbosocks(i fixed it up to work with GB), it was in themes or apps or some sort...

I also use the same shutdown, but i have a Galaxy S picture as the closeout picture. I actually do this because the last picture of the boot shutdown being black doesn't show when the phones really off, which is a couple seconds after the vibration hits.

All flashable in clockwork, all seperate for you to use or not use. It all works and looks real nice. If you don't like, the files to revert back are linked through my signature. No reflashing the whole rom thinking you made a mistake.

Enjoy guys. ^_^

~le poof!~
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kapurnicus:
I downloaded to the phone, to a computer (And moved with USB cable) and downloaded to laptop and moved with memory card reader. Maybe it is something with the hosting company you are working with (A temporary crazyness?) Should put up an MD5 hash if you haven't (You may have, I just may have missed it, not the most observant person ever).

A thread with that same error for cyogenmod (not on this phone) said that the user needed to downgrade his bootloader. I assume that isn't my problem, since all of use with the stock EI22 should probably be on the same everything, but I did odin some things to root, they may have included an incompatable boot loader.

Just trying to work out the error for curiosity now :)

I also got the error for the option.cfg, but assumed that was nothing based on the instructions.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
Sweet! About to give this a run and see if I can live without the lockscreen mod. My sister just got an Epic and I got her a screen protector and case for Christmas; now I'll make it a real gift and hook her up with RandomROM 3.3 - I was going to even with 3.2, but I'll sleep better knowing there's more stability on hers without the lockscreen mod. Looking forward to seeing this new install setup too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Very beautiful additions! I agree that they blend nicely with RandomRom's colors and settings. I'm now in lesbians with this dialer as well. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
In that spirit here is a wallpaper I find fits well with random's theming. This is the one from my screenshot earlier with the lockscreen. Just something I found on zedge.

I'm rebuilding EH17. All the same goodness, plus lockscreens. Its the lesser lockmod, and less ram leakage... so it'll be like middle ground.

-Sent from my Random Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
hey i just downloaded 3.3 and its working great so far! i see that it has the stock epic unlock screen. i dont want to flash the 9 lock mod cuz i dont want the reboots and ram leakage, but i was wondering if there is a zip to flash just the puzzle unlock, and just use that one, since its my favorite one.

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
so doe sit work with the lockmod or it doesn't, confused on that, I'm guessing I still get reboots if I try the lockmod?

and are there other things i need to flash or just the main rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
you can just download 3.3 and flash it and it will work perfectly, but if you really want the 9 lock screen mod, you can also flash that, but it can cause soft reboots and ram leakage...that is why i just asked if there is a zip just to flash the puzzle lockscreen since that is the only one i use
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I use one similar. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Keep your eye out for thunderhawk II EH17 final build. As random stated that seems to be more of a middle ground with stability if you really want the lockscreens. It will include the puzzle lock. The more basic mod only pulled one quick reboot after 2.5 days of running smooth with my usage. This was on a test build over a week ago. Random may have tweaked it to run even better by now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I downloaded the latest 3.3 from Random's site - flashed no problems.

Downloaded to my desktop; copied via USB to my phone.

Previous page I put up a mirror of the file I downloaded; you could try that.

It might be everyone downloading it that is causing the download issues.

post #428 .. but I went and got the link for you http://min.us/miVY876pT
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed it and everything seems perfect

I flashed the lockmod

But there's no 4g toggle switch lol

that's not a problem tho I just have a shortcut on my homepage

Butt this rom seems amazing and so far no reboots and already notcied a greatt battery

thanks again ill let u know if I come across anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
Do you know if that mod has the custom app rings lockscreen? That's the one I like to use so I can quickly jump to certain spots straight from the lockscreen.

And so I assume that means flashing back to the EH17 modem bin? I've never noticed much difference between modems, but that's because it seems my experience is always dominated by the ROM itself - and I've never used any other rom as stable and smooth as Random, every other one has been too glitchy to really notice anything specific to the modem. Is there any consensus on differences between EH17 & EI22, is one noticeably better than another?
