Everyone uses their phones differently. What works on my setup may lag for others. I run a pretty lean system, don't push apps to sd, and countless otther things that may differ from everyone else. The fun is trying different things and seeing the changes. I've been trying interactivex at 100-1000 for a bit, based on marcusants suggestions, and that is smooth as well for me. Play with them and use cpu spy to see how each one changes the time in each state, and overall system response durring typical usage for you.

Low-Battery Modded Camera and VideoPlayer

Faithful EC05 users may recall the modifications made to allow the Camera and Video Player to perform at any battery level without interruption. Well, those mods have been restored for EI22. Thanks to SenseiSimple, we also have the camera with a restored Silent mode button enabled by default. Both of these mods are built into the upcoming ThunderHawk 3.3.

4G Hotspot Fix

For those of you that have complained that tethering does not appear to be working with 4G, here is what I believe should be the fix. You tell me, I have no way of testing it at the moment. If this is indeed the fix, then I will build it into 3.3 as well.

Stuck at Sammy screen

Ok, I have tried this a couple ways. On ACS ICS v4, EI22- I tried flashing direct over it with Thunderhawk 3.2, after dalvik and cache wipe, and got a bunch of FCs- gmail, Launcher Pro, etc. I used nandroid and tried again, this time wiping all data, cache and dalvik. This time would not boot past Samsung screen. I recently updated to ACS Recovery 5- I don't know, any suggestions anyone?

Thanks!

Currently ACS ICS with Samurai-gen 2.0.8, adrenaline injected and V6 Supercharged
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Mine was 370, but you can see in the screenshot I posted, it was detected and active. Now it is 170 and inactive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
This ROM is just amazing... had to throw that out there. I have CM7.1 on my EVO, and I'm now jealous of my wife's Epic. That is hard to do. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Just in case... Blue & White would be a nice Hannukah theme. Maybe a 6pt star thrown in. Skip the menorahs. ;);)

BTW. Using this all day. some funky behavior including some incredibly bad battery stats. Recharging overnight and will try to see how we do tomorrow.

Installed the newest Samurai kernel- fyi. But when it was working... damn it was fast and smooth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Try out ShadowKernel, I was getting some pretty bad battery life on Samurai too, now all seems normal. I am using Tegrak so I don't need Voltage Control support.

As a bonus, ShadowKernel has Voodoo Color, which means the colors are closer to 6500k and gives the ability to calibrate the screen through Voodoo Control.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Timothy08:
when my phone is in standby mode for like 3 hours it randoms reboots and if i get done watching a vid it locks up on the screen can do nothing and just hot reboots
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I had another soft reboot as well; it seems like ram is getting eaten up. I watch it go down from 100+ to like 37-40 thoughout the day.

I ran starsky and asc ics and didn't see that; that was pre 10 Lock screen mod though. I don't know if that is the cause.

I upgraded my kernel to 2.0.8 last night; I'll be paying close attention to my phone today to see if memory goes bye bye as I am wondering if the kernel is the cause; there was a memory leak reported at one point on Samurai.

If it does I'll try the new kernel (shadow) for a few days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
Was looking for the exact same thing yesterday/today. Phone died real fast, cpuspy showed 10 minutes of deep sleep in 6 hours of powered on time.

Hadn't used spare parts in a while and it (obviously i guess) kept crashing.

Thanks given!
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I just had soft reboot now, using 2.08 and this ROM, full data wipe before installing rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
the amount of ram has dropped drastically during the day today.

I am going to go ahead and try the shadow kernel to see if that makes a difference or not.

I've done nothing but send a few texts today.

I'll report back tomorrow

Anyone getting force closes on flashlight app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Yes, torch always fc's for me when the screen turns off. I use the tiny led + flashlight app instead. I know he uses torch for the status bar integration, but it's buggy.

Edit: sorry, tiny flashlight + led app, I was tired...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
I was getting wicked lag with the baked-in kernal, along with occasional random reboots. Flashed the latest nubernal today (because it worked well in earlier versions of this ROM), and have had no further problems!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Shadow kernel

I've been using this kernel since last night and ram seems more stable, phone is nice and snappy and the voodoo color is really sweet!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
tesla led was force closing too....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Torch and TeslaLED work fine for me, the shadow kernel has also worked wonders for my phone. No reboots since install and ram is much better!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Both of those always shut the light off on my phone when I turn the screen off while running. When I turn the screen back on, it shows a fc for torch. I have not tried tesla in a while. Tiny flashlight + led is the only flashlight app that has ever fully worked with screen off for me on both epics in my household on any setup. I agree with shadow working great so far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Jeffro - the one thing that I find about Tiny Flashlight that I do not like is that it always runs in the background and restarts when I kill it. Anyway, better than force closes. I am guessing the answer is no but is it possible to change the app that the flashlight toggle points to?

Also have you messed with the color settings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mschmiedel:
Messed up after changing lockscreens

Hi,

After playing with lockscreens my phone just went crazy. I think the Android GUI is crashing and restarting like twice per minute. This doesn't allow me to go into config and choose another lockscreen.

Any thoughts about editing a file using adb from recovery to restore these settings?

Update, I partially solved this issue:

Just deleted this file (or backup it at least, this will reset the

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Now the phone doesn't crash anymore, but I can't define any lockscreen. Any thoughts?

Regards
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I just use a widget in the flashlight app, not the app itself. I can't answer the statusbar question, but it's really not needed if you use the widget.

Edit: and yeah, been messing with the color settings a bit. I haven't gotten too crazy with it yet, but am dialing in some settings I like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
So I flashed the lite version

I wanna flash the full one just to see if I think its better

Should I have to do any wipes or just flash it..? I know it'll work but I mean for best results

I really don't wanna have to do any wipes lol..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
It's always better to wipe and start fresh. That is the only way I ever go. Maybee make a nandroid, wipe everything, and flash the full one. Check it out and see what apps you like, save them with titanium or write them down, wipe everything again and restore your nandroid, add the apps you like. Extra apps are the only real difference.

To the guy with the lockscreen issues, that is a new one to me. Did you start clean and flash shadow kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] glenner444:
Flashed the lite version last night then shadow kernel and the ics theme. Definitely the fastest, snappiest setup I've ever run. The quadrant score was super low, which makes me think quadrant is total bs. Was getting 3000s w/ era rc1 and 1300 with this setup, but this is clearly quicker and more user friendly. Did notice during the benchmark that "database write" took longer than usual. Is that the reason for the score being so low?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Well I'm not looking for the apps actually I'm just trying to see if it has reboots like the lite version does and if it lags as much cuz I have a hugeeee laggin problem everytime I use dolphin browser the whole phone turns sooo slow
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i switched to shadow kernel, still got a soft reboot today, I think its the rom. probably something with the lock mods.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I was about to flash shadow kernel to see if there's any differences and I unpulgged my phone from the charger and it rebooted 8|

So I'm losing hope in trying the shadow kernel now lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
That is what I am leaning towards if you have read any of the feedback in toadlife's patched kernel thread. Random is still working on what he feels is a ram leak, check his posts from earlier today in the thunderhawk EH17 thread. I don't mind a quick android system reboot here and there, it was the ones that locked up the phone first(on the samurai build that is included with the rom right now) and android system fc's (on leaked builds prior to EH17)that really annoyed me. You have to expect some degree of instability on custom roms. But what do I know? I'm just an end user that reads a lot and tries different things.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Being that its the same ROM; I don't think you need to start over again. Particularly because you're going from the lite to full version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Ya I just did it

I didn't know the full one came with samurai kernel I believe the lite one was nubes?

I mostly wanted to flash the full one to see if the kernel and original settings of the rom changed anything and helped with the reboots but maybe ill just have to deal with them

There not that bad just sometimes happen at the worst times like during a phone call or while I'm writing a long txt that gets deleted and pisses me off
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Low ram

I've been running Shadow and it is much better, there is still a memory leak some where. I didn't use my phone much at all today. Ram steadily dropped (I use memory boost lite, to get a list of what is running and the amt of ram left)

It seems that maybe GB still has some of what we experienced in the GB leaks; ram was eaten until it became so low that android reset.

I will say though I ran starsky 1.3 and 1.4 for a week or so, it had a mms problem but it never restarted and it used the early versions of samurai.

ASC ICS didn't restart either; though if I turned off wifi; 3g wouldn't turn on unless I rebooted. Less than convenient.

These reboots also seem to coinside with the new lock mod; Randdom, would it be possible to have a rom package that didn't include the lock mods? I'd love to remove that to test as well.

In the mean time I'm going to find a theme that doesn't have it.

EDIT: tried to flash the ICS 2.0 ASOP theme from here after using the pre-theme wipe and flashing, nothing changed. I should be able to flash another theme (i'm downloading it again just incase it was a bad download and will give it another go)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Check maddoggin's ten lockscreen op for info on that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
either the lockscreens or the scrolling status bar are causing it, that i'm sure of. i never had any issues on acsics since nubes kernel came out based on official gingerbread and now they are back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Ram leakage and the subsequent "soft reboots" are a symptom of the kernel. In general, the latest kernels have reduced it pretty well. Unfortunately, the services created by the lock mod seem to re-accelerate ram usage and thereby create more reboots.

I am still in testing on a suitable way to create a scroll-able widget-less patch. However, I believe I may have created a solution to reduce, if not stop the ram leakage and halt these "soft reboots." Bear with me.

When it comes to Android stuff, my head is in a thousand directions on a dozen things at once. Eventually I bring it back around and a new version comes out. :D

Final ThunderHawk II EH17

I'm also working to finish EH17, with the same ram leakage solution, and hopefully in the coming hours, NoCIQ patch.

For anyone wondering why I'm still beating EH17... I like it. EI22 brought no new features, and no new performance or battery improvement that I can find. So why abandon a nearly complete project? It's a labor of love.

5 Official Testers (4 Spots Open)

I'd like 4 more official testers next to Jeffro if anyone's interested. I will be granting you access to many of my creations, mods, patches, fixes etc. before I integrate them. While "Team RandomROM" still will solely consist of me, you 5 will be the field testers to find problems where I don't see them. While I can't fix everything, I can't fix anything if I don't know it needs fixing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Thanks for that tip; I found this in the OP of maddoggin's thread:

since this uses framework-res you cant flash a theme over this or this over a theme you have to theme framework!

so when it is baked in; you can't swap themes out. That thread also says the 10 locks mod is beta, I wasn't aware of that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
He was being generic. The real problem is that the mod is more than the framework-res, it also modifies several .jar files and settings.apk, which will need to be replaced as well if you're to fully theme it without the lock mod. Basically, a themer needs to just copy these files into the theme .zip. Preferably pre-modded with the AIO mods.

As far as I know, the lock mod is, always has been, and will be beta for the forsee-able future... as it is a big port with several non-simple bugs. :D

Messed up after changing lockscreens

Hi,

Posting again with a simpler request. Something happened with the lockscreens causing the GUI to crash all the time, so I was able to solve it deleting this file:

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Now the phone is "stable" but some things don't work. Can someone "adb pull" this file and send it to me? If it's from a fresh install better, but anything should do...

Thank you very much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spyder09:
hey random i will test for you if you would like me to. i currently am on ei22 thunderhawk with the 2.08 kernel. i can revert back to e17 and test stuff for you because i use my phone daily mainly for phone calls and texts...every day on 4g for facebook and market/internet stuff so i cover a lot of the bases.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Ill message you later. You'll make 4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
The problem is I've used multiple IAP kernels, nube kernel, shadow kernels, none of these reboot before the lockmod, so my guess would be lockmod causing it. it probably is a memory issue, i'm not a developer, but its not the kernels themselves because if you use it without a lockmod, no reboots. I couldn't even use a rom with lockmods on eh17 as the functionality was impaired to the point that it wasn't worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Now reboot your phone and use it without wifi or 4G and tell me how fast the ram leaks away, please.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i use it like this everyday, no wifi at work and no 4g where I am. ram seems to stay at reasonable levels. not like on eh17 where you could visible see it was just gobbling up more and more ram.

and its not like eh17 where the phone would actually fully reboot, this is just soft reboots.

Excellent ROM... only observation, so far, the phone gets very warm when charging battery and tends to charge very slowly.... installed the latest Samauri kernel...

One request... could you add an option to have the appilications scrolls as if on a conveyor belt... I've seen it on another rom and would add to the hi-tech look...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Why is "3.2 Theme" a separate download?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
So people can flash his theme over another rom or restore thunderhawk to its original theme if needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
That's a different launcher... adw maybe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sloheim:
I will agree with the "soft reboots" comment. On occasion, my phone will seem like it is locking up. Next thing I know, after maybe 30 seconds, I see the "Media scanner" running message, and the entire phone seems reset, but it doesn't go thru a full reboot cycle.

This never happened with the previous version of Thunderhawk... and I've recreated it under multiple kernels... the lockscreen mod is the only major change. Has to be tied to that.

Are other ROMs, which use this mod, experiencing similar problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
from what I've read, yes, it happens on all roms with lockmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
One slight complaint... Facebook seems to not know what resolution to load, and it doesn't fit to the screen properly. Any idea what could be causing that? To be clear, it is slightly wider than the screen, so you have to move the screen back and forth to read status updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I've also noticed this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Det0natoR:
I've noticed this as well. One work around would be to get friendcaster off the market for free. It has an ad at the bottom, but I like it wayyy better. It even supports multiple accounts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
I've seen in a couple of other roms... Could have been ADW... More recently in the modded launcher in ERA's Legendary ROM RC2. So just maybe it can be added on this launcher.

[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Jeffro18 looked into the matter on my behalf and it turns out that recognition is not handed out, but requested with support of your request. So I have filled out an application and placed a many links to material of mine. Sincerest thank you to anyone who's ever clicked the "Thanks" button, as I'm assuming that will work in my favor of gaining this tag.

I guess we'll see. :D

UPDATE (7:30am): So, unfortunately, I maintain that the ram leakage is an issue of the kernels not truly being fixed yet. That said, despite different attempts at stemming the problem, it is clear that the lockmod truly "enhances" the leakage and accelerates it at an impressive rate. It is for this reason that I am looking to un-integrate the lock mod, and instead provide it as a flash-able patch. The end experience will still be the same, just, optional.

UPDATE (9:00 am): I believe I have made a successful patch. This will be a full theme, as it is necessary to replace nearly a dozen files. That said, it's NoCIQ, AIO, with the 4G Tether patch included as well as CRT-On.

UPDATE (9:30 am): Short testing under heavy usage shows preliminary results of ram holding steady around 200 mb free. New custom ram settings and lockmod removed looking promising.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
That's good news!

Until lockmod leak is fixed, would you consider including sensei's status bar scrolllable buttons?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Since they are part of the lockmod, I haven't tested separately whether or not they contribute to ram leakage. I suppose it's worth a look.

For now, 4G connoisseurs will be happy to have their statusbar button back. I'm also still working to finalize EH17, so there's a lot going on on my computer...
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1midniterider:
Does the lock screen mod memory leak occur when using the stock "pattern" unlock mechanism?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Appears to happen regardless.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
from what i understand, the scrolling status bars shouldn't cause the problem, just the lockmod from reading various posts on here.
