IMO; Random's work yields FAR better battery life. CM9 is a beautiful piece of work; all kudos to Pinguin and Team Cyanogen. But I have found my battery life has taken a beating. I just tried 360Launcher alpha and the weather will only give me Beijing (a nice feature, but useless). It totally chewed up and spit out LauncherPro. Apex is nice, but no scrolling bottom dock (at least I couldn't get it to scroll. If anyone knows differently, please share). I haven't tried Nova yet. So overall, some nice new tweaks (folder building on homescreen; animations) but I miss the battery life of T-H 3.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Ok... first of all bml is rfs/ext4... secondly the only way to switch over to mtd is to flash a rom that does the conversion for you... cm7, cm9, clean gbmtd and marcusant rom v3 all will do this for you... if you decide to convert over to mtd remember DO NOT FLASH A DIFFERENT RECOVERY!!! When going to mtd the mtd rom will provide you with a modified version of cwm 5.0.2.7 an it is the only one that works with epic mtd at the moment... hope that clears it up... if you have any more questions I would be glad to help...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
I'm wondering if I flashed the wrong kernel. And that made my phone luancher not work. When I compared the downloads I have of bbelos .5 mtd kernel. The files had different names. But I'm sure I downloaded from the same link. Would the wrong kernel cause that. I was under the impression wrong kernel ment no boot. Ill give it another try on 4.0. I'm still looking for a good el30 rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] quazimodem:
I'm getting this error message installing this ROM:

"file_getprop: failed to stat "/sdcard/clockworkmod/options.cfg": No such file or directory

E: Error in /sdcard/ThunderHawk-3.4.0.zip (status 7)"

Is this a bad ThunderHawk-3.4.0.zip download?

---------------------------

I just flashed another rom and it completed... so I'm guessing it's a bad download. Gonna redownload.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Did you convert to mtd before flashing? If not you are still on bml and the tw mtd v0.5+oc will not work for you. This rom will detect what you are on, bml or mtd, and flash the proper version. It will not convert for you, except from rfl to ext4, which are both bml. 3.4 is still EI22 based with some perks of EL30 added. 4.0 will be based off EL30 and is only available to testers in a lightly themed alpha build right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
any fix for this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
I was on mtd to begin with. I'm running a converted version of legendary. Everything work great first. Then just small had a force close when I tried to make a call. Had a force close when some left me a voicemail. Then I would hit the phone icon and just get a message that the app failed to open. Llikme it wasn't installed
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Hmm, that never happened on the test build. Not sure what all random changed since then. I'm on 4.0 alpha right now, but about to flash official 3.4 to the lady's phone. I'll report if I can recreate the issue or find a quick fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Sounds good i liked what i saw. And there are about 8 people at my work wih this phone and im always the the test dummy for hat ever i put on there systems. I like this to work. Though dependjng on how close to 4.0 are i mighr wait. Im just ansi to flash something. Been on legendary for a month and it burning a hole in my pocket to play with something new. Just has to be reliable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Just flashed 3.4 over 3.3 manually converted mtd setup on the lady's phone. Lite/full zip worked, and the rom flashed properly. I am about to update her from shadow tw mtd v0.4 to 0.5+oc. Flashing the sprint fix caused a status 7 error and failed with or without mounting system first. I called her phone, called my phone from hers, and left a voicemail on her phone using vvm and all worked fine, no fc's. Did you flash clean or right over legendary? If it fails for her tomorrow I'm sure I'll be the first to hear about it lol. 4.0 should be close, but only random knows when he will release it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Cleared cache clear delvic clearded user and factory then i flash. Thats the way i usually do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Maybee a bad download? Did you check md5 sums? Thunderhawk has been pretty much bulletproof for the two phones in my house since 3.3, other than the wifi/4g issue that was squashed for me on 3.4 test build. Maybee flashing clean is causing something I'm not seeing. My head is spinning from all of this flashing between 3 phones tonight. Gotta put em down for a bit now and relax. I'll report if anything pops up on her 3.4 setup tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
Sorry. Wrong thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
I had this same problem develop while I was on 3.3

Did you happen to allow the OTA EL30 try to install and then reset through CWM to try to get rid of the update message?

I ask because everything was solid for me until I did that. After I did it the first time the message went away but came back after a few days, so I did it again...and again.

Then I started getting fc's anytime I tried to send a text and make a call. My phone became pretty useless.

I fixed it by restoring to my last CWM backup(which fortunately was only a week old) and just live with the update messages for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
I did the whole let it faol to insyall the pull the battery. On legendary seems work. Did the same thing on thunderhawk. Maybe ille give it another shot tonight
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
I have the same problem.tw launcher doesn't have phone app in the dock and neither launcher has phone app in the drawer. Even tried to install again using

es file explorer and it aborts install
[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
Congratulations on the new release! I have been running 3.3 since it came out and love it! Just a few days ago, I gave CM9 a try. I agree with everybody else that it is a most impressive release for an alpha, but it needs some work in order to become a daily driver.

When I went to install 3.4, I get stuck at the Galaxy S screen. Not sure if this has something to do with it, but the Galaxy S screen also says cyanogen (mod). Since I am coming from CM9, would using MTD version of recovery have anything to do with it? I have tried with wiping everything 3 times, and have tried not wiping. I could not d/l 3.4 from XDA, so I d/l from computer and copied over via USB. I have let it sit at the Galaxy screen for about 20 mins. Any hints on what I am doing wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Hmm its already set to 200 seconds.. I'll try 600. I noticed that the phone is awake a lot more than is should be. In bestbatterystats the screen has only been on for 1:27 but the phone has been awake for 5:50 over 18h.. I would not say my battery life is bad by any means (its at 50% right now).

Pretty much everything is frozen other than system services (maps, email, market, voicemail are frozen) and I have very little installed.

But the fact that on 3g the phone sleeps a lot more (~95% of the time, vs ~75%) is strange.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
The lock mod isnt in the Rom yet? Thats really all I am waiting for as I cant not stand having the clock in the status bar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] EvanWasHere:
Running 3.1 with no issues. Love it!

Will you be adding this to the rom?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346680
[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
Love this rom!! Very fast and very stable. Excellent work!

I have one quetion - when the phone is in the dock, the buttons on the bottom of the phone stay lit the whole time it is in the dock. Kind of annoying since it is by my bed and pretty bright at night. Am I missing a setting to dim them after a certain amount of time?

Update: I have confirmed that while the phone is plugged into a wall charger, the soft key lights do go off after a minute or two. I have also checked the settings on the dock app (Alarm Clock Plus) and I see no settings that control the soft key lights. Does anybody have any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] smader12:
I've had this issue too. I was running cm7 and after i flashed the ei22 modem, i saw the issue. So I decided to try RandomRom again, always had great battery life with Random, but the issue still existed. So I reflashed the ei22 modem and I haven't seen the issue since then. I'm not sure if I just haven't been in the same situation (like a long time roaming or wifi scanning) or if the reflash fixed it, but I thought I would share this anyway. When I was having the battery drain and always awake issue, the only thing that stopped was to turn the radio off (airplane mode) , so I'm pretty sure it was the radio.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I did this and changed it to 240. I **** you not when I go to wifi settings its scanning every 5 seconds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Has anyone experienced force closes while viewing specific contacts or modifying settings in contacts on this rom? This is the only annoyance and force close issue I've found with this rom so far.

EDIT: Nevermind, as suggested earlier in the thread, removing Google+ removed the issue. Thanks for another awesome rom, RK!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrdavis55:
WOW

I've been using Froyo too long! This ROM has changed my life... i'm gonna donate monday on payday!!!

Couple questions. Is anyone over clocking (or using setCPU)? Should i be using set CPU and if so what settings?

2. How do you change the lock screen? The lock screens look great in the screen shots but i can't find the options to do so...

Thanks in advance!

So exited to be a part of this community!
[Epic 4G Android Development] a2tz:
Haven't tried to overclock it yet but I think I could before. I flipped around different roms a lot recently though.

And RK hasn't fully themed it yet. So no lock screen and battery mod and such yet. He said it was coming soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
If this was addressed, then mea maxima culpa, but my internet connection sux so I don't have time to scroll the thread...

Will this flash properly using ACS recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I have never found the need to overclock on gingerbread. It's all about battery life for me.

You can run thunderhawk 2.0 EH17 version of the rom if you want the lock screens for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] andrewt328:
what exactly does typing su superfreeze in the emulator do? This helps save battery? What services does it disable? it is like gmail syncing or anything like that?

fonts and more

first of all - thanks for the amazing rom! Flashed it last night, and have been really enjoying it - I liked learning about all the battery saving mods you worked to put in it!

A couple of questions - is there anyway to flash something to get back to the stock font? I'm sure I'll get used to the new one, but if you have it... :)

I flashed the circle battery mod as well, and lost the cool screen off effect! Any flashable for that ?

Thanks again - AWESOME rom.

EDIT: I see that EI22 theme in the OP. Is that the stock theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
A small request if possible..

I would like a lite version of the rom... with everything u believe Is not need removed

Including all the stock wallpapers and sounds every single one of them

I'm trying to save as much memory as possible cuz right now I average like a use of 250 mb for some reason and if I'm listening to music and use the interent I get around 320mb and it starts making the phone slow and the music player keeps cutting even at 1.44 ghz..

So that would b really nice for now if ur not thinking about an update.. thanks either way I love your rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Yes and while you are custom making his rom, can you make one for me in magenta colors? And I would like and old English ttf for it as well. And maybe a custom boot animation featuring the beginning sequence of the tv show the Big Bang........ Lmao.... That's just a small request I'm sure you can take care of that.

**sarcasm**
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
LOL! Thanks, Ed! I am keeping this one saved for future use...

I'm running 3.05 and noticed that I couldn't record 720p anymore, so I downloaded sd booster and set my sd cache to 2048 and now it works just fine.... just fyi
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
Been om Legenday for a bit since Ei22 release but itchin to come back to RandomRom as I loved the rom under Eh17 but couldn't deal with the FCs.

I know. I may not get objective answer her but how would u compare stability of this rom vs legendary?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Make a nandroid and try it. Truth o the matter, most of the EI22 roms are fundamentally similar. We all start off with the same tweaks, then adjust it from there and we haven't had it that long.

Just did a clean install of official 3.4 on mtd and I now see this issue. No phone app in drawer and "could not launch requested activity" message when clicking on dialer icon in drawer. I'll try to find a work around for now. Maybee try installing 3.3, let it boot, go back to recovery and flash 3.4 without wiping. I'll try pushing some files with root explorer as well...

Edit: installing 3.3 first won't work for people on mtd. Forgot I manually converted mine...

Edit: found a fix. Flashing clean does not install dialertabactivity.apk. I'll post the apk here in a few. Just push it to system/app with es or root explorer.

Here is the link to the dialertabactivity.apk I pulled from the 3.4 test build.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
That worked thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
also did the el30 update, have it fail, battery pull, boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot.... seems to have worked

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Do people notice a difference on MTD ? Is it worth it to convert?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
3.4.1 will be up later, thanks Jeffro. Apparently in my efforts to upgrade the phone to the EL30, i accidentally deleted the dialertabactivity.apk by mistake as well. Also, I'll upload 3.4.1 to min.us.

EDIT: My mistake.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Switching to mtd will give you 191mb of extra space for apps. Also, you will be able to check out cm7, cm9, miui, or any other mtd rom and now easily switch back to a randomrom 3.4 nandroid. If you don't care about that stuff you can stay on bml.

Glad my dialer fix helped someone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
No problem, always glad to help. Are you going to include shadow tw mtd EL30 v3.0 kernel in 4.0? It has been working fine on the test build since yesterday.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
On 3.4 if I go to System Storage, I have 220MB available space. As a pretty normal user will that (in most cases) be sufficient?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Yeah, if you aren't running out of space for apps, it's not a big deal. I still have over 300mb open, but just like knowing I have plenty of free space left. Another nice thing about mtd/yaffs2 is that data corruption is far less likely than on bml/ext4. Apro has a nice write up on mtd in a sticky I believe. It seems development is leaning toward mtd these days, but read up on it before you make the jump. I'm glad I did.

Edit: and just for those that don't know, once you switch to mtd you will need odin go back to any bml setup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
It will probably have the newest everything.

BTW! Anyone who incremetally updated 3.3 to 4.0.0, do not flash 4.0.1! You don't need it. Anyone still on 3.3 or any other rom, feel free to use 4.0.1 as the phone is fixed thanks to jeffro.

[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Fixed that post for you too lol ^^^. I was wondering if I missed official 4.0.0...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
That was my problem exactly. Does 3.4.1 have the dialer fixed or is 4.0.1 done and ready to be daily?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I think random posted wrong. He meant 3.4.1, check my quote from him in my last post. I edited it for how I think it was supposed to read...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
1.) As Jeffro mentioned, my mistake. 4.0 is not ready ;-).

2.) 3.4.1 does have the dialer fixed.

3.) If you're on 3.4 when I drop 4.0, an incremental update will bring you to ThunderHawk EL30 in seconds just like 3.3 to 3.4.

Will this thread also serve as the version 4 thread or will you create a new thread like when you went from EH17 to EI22?

Go check out my thread on how to stop the update message... its updated with a new way that should get rid of it for good...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
I can confirm 3.4.1 will fail just as you described flashing in cwm 5.5.0.4 included with cm9. Do you have another mtd nandroid you can restore that will put you back on cwm mtd version 5.0.2.7? Maybee flash a mtd rom without the bml/mtd scripting such as clean gd mtd from 5.5.0.4, then flash 3.4.1? Restoring a nandroid to 4.0 alpha has worked several times for me and restores proper cwm every time.

Also the lady just reported fc's from her 3.3 manually converted mtd, converted to 3.4.0 setup today. She said it fc'd at least 3 times in a row trying to make calls earlier, but works fine now. I have used the old flash and fail, pull battery to stop update trick 2-3 times between 3.3 and 3.4.0 with her first fc issue today. She was updated to 3.4.0 late last night. I'm going to flash 3.4.1 for her now and check out flast's new method. I have not seen any fc dialer issues on 4.0 alpha at all, using it on and off for the last several days.

4.0 will be out soon enough...
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Been on 3.4.1 for about 2 hours now. Made some calls, used my gps to go turn in my tax paperwork. All and all seems like we are good. Was surprisedthe dialer was't a little more themed since you did everything else but it all works. So ill run this for a bit and see I like it before 4.0 comes out. One request can you find a better icon for sprints vvm. That god awful yellow in the middle of your blue desktop sucks
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
I flashed this about 2 hours ago and so far nothing but amazingness lol I can already personally see a significant difference in batttery consumption than the other roms. And it just looks nice but I just miss having 3g in a widget so I'm gonna have to flash a theme or learn how to get the 15 widgets in this rom lol

Thanks a lot for this rom can't waitt for v.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
You don't know how to change it..? If ur using launcherpro or a different launcher can't u find an icon that u would like and replace it yourself? Id help you if you'd like cuz I don't think we should bug the dev about every tiny thing even if its as small as an icon.. just pm me if you need help and if you'd like I would personally change its icon and give u a version of this rom with ur new icon for u to flash if u wanna change it completely but if just chainging it in the launcher would do then that would b a lot simpler
[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
That worked! I flashed CleanGB MTD, then flashed 3.4.1, and was able to boot normally. Thank you VERY much for your help!!

I can't wait to try out the incremental installer when 4.0 comes out. I am also very happy that ThunderHawk supports MTD. As always, wonderful work!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] treoarx:
HOw can I convert my 3.4.1 to MTD instead of BML I am currently on TH 3.3

So it seems that ThunderHawk 3.4 isn't actually installing a kernel. I'm trying to figure out why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] siirus09:
Indeed, I was going to post something about that tonight, along with the tiny, insignificant typo somewhere in the script where it says MDT instead of MTD ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:

Ya same thing with me everytime I try to leave the phone call screen during a call it force closes and disconnects the call weirdd lol and when I get a phone call its pretty buggy when I answer it or ignore it the circles don't move too smooth

Also I am having a problem with my phone not going into deep sleep at all

I've froze all the apps I installed and still no sleep

I believe its something that came with the rom that's not allowing it to sleep.. ill download betterbatterystats tomorrow and try and see if I can find out what it is
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Go into settings and then call settings... then go to reject with message and make sure you have 5 or less messages set... this is a known issue with the new phone.apk... that should fix the problem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Good to know!

Damn a typo! Anyways, yes, my over-eager updater-script apparently fails to actually load a kernel, but I've solved it by rearranging the scripting a tad. Let me hear from various install scenarios anyone's tried. Specifically BML (EXT4/RFS) installs and clean installs. Upgrades on MTD should be going flawlessly as I've tested that meticulously. I will release one more version 3.4.2 to tie up loose ends once I've ironed this out, but all bug fixes are also being applied to 4.0.0 to ensure a bug-free launch. :D

Thank you everyone for helping pull this together with minimal complaints.
[Epic 4G Android Development] v8bait:
updating 3.4 to 3.4.1 on BML/EXT4 wiped my data this time, the 3.3 to 3.4 didn't wipe data. Haven't had the wifi/4g problem on 3.4 yet, but my bluetooth hasn't liked turning on except after reboots since 3.3, it could just be my phone though. Says "turning on..." then just un checks itsself after a few minutes. I'll play with that later.
