No, I am not using the lockmod.

I don't seem to be getting random soft reboots (I'm not logging that to be sure, however). But, a purposeful reboot has seemed to solve the issues that have cropped up - specifically, the lockscreen toggle not working and wifi no internet access that I mentioned.

My setup is pretty plain. I was on Thunderhawk 3.2. Did the 3x wipe on everything and installed 3.3. I'm not even restoring any apps or data. I just reinstall stuff. And I don't install that much. Not running any widgets. It's really quite close to a fresh 3.3 install, just added some apps like pandora and barcode scanner, etc.

Yesterday when I had the phantom back presses and non-working lockscreen toggle I was at 6% battery, though it would be odd if that was related.

Nothing noticeable about wifi not working later in the day yesterday - it should connected and I had the appropriate IP (I have a static lease for my phone's MAC setup in my router). Wifi worked again after a reboot, and it's the only time it hasn't worked.

I mentioned the issues I was having because I do have a very stock-ish setup, and while I'm no android kernel dev, I'm no fool either and a developer by trade (working mostly in c# on web based applications, been a programmer for over a dozen years).

I could tell from your previous posts that you were not running the lockmod. My statement was not directed at any one person. I just found myself having the same questions about a few recent posts. I am just and end user who has been running random's work for a while now. I certainly do not claim to have all of the answers to every situation, but maybee someone who is following this thread can chime in if they have seen any issues similar to you. Just throwing a friendly reminder out there in an effort to help those seeking help for their issues. Everyone have a merry christmas!

Edit: also, please know I try to choose my wording in generalized statements so that newer users can hopefully understand the point I am trying to make. There are people at all different levels of understanding reading this. My reasons for posting on xda are always in good spirit, and never meant to insult anyone's intelligence.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
No, no 4G where I live. On wi-fi.

Which is the only "glitch" I found; when connected to wi-fi, if I am on the phone and leave my wi-fi area, the call drops when my wi-fi connection is cut. I've also had a few soft reboots (maybe 3), but I have the lock mod so I figure that's part of it. I'll take 24 hours of battery for 2-3 soft reboots and the wi-fi thing.

Random, you're a friggin genius! Merry Christmas (or whatever)!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I have had the issue with wifi as well. It turns on but no data is available. I switch back to 3G and it data is back. I reboot, turn on wifi and it is fine.

I know I didn't hit this at all during testing, I leave my phone on 3G and only turn on WiFi to update or download apps from the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
This morning the stock alarm totally failed to go off - twice. I turned on two alarms when I went to bed at about 8:30a - one for 9:30 and another for 10:15. Neither went off at all (I'm very certain, I didn't just snooze thru them). Dang, I was having better luck overall on 3.2. It's frustrating to have these marginal issues popping up in different places without any clear reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Unfortunately, nothing was changed from version 3.2 that would impact that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Yes, I've noticed the "no data" thing. I'll try the reboot method and see if it works. Thanks for the heads-up!

10 hours used and 46% left, after a hectic Christmas day of cellphone calls and pic uploads to Facebook. What does Random know that the rest of us don't?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Using 3.3 for a few days and while I had one reboot in the first 12 hours after install, I haven't had one since. That's the good news.

Bad news is that WiFi & 4G connections have been spotty at best. Neither will stay connected after they've gone "idle". Both require a reboot and sometimes two. This happened with both the 1.0.3 Shadow kernel and a beta 1.0.4 kernel.

I just did a full wipe and I'm waiting to sync until after I've totally purged/reloaded my Google calendar (for non-ROM related reasons). I'm trying Sleeper to see if I have the same results.

OT:

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Christmas! I did the traditional Jewish thing- Chinese food last night and tonight and a movie today.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
I don't imagine there was - I can't imagine it's issues with the ROM exactly. I may try reformatting the sd card and odin'ing back to stock EC05 and then reinstalling 3.3 fresh. I've been having lots of weird glitches on this install. Like a few times a day I'll end a call, or unlock the screen, or hit back - and get stuck on a totally black screen. So there's that, the alarm, the wifi, the lockscreen toggle, etc.. Lots of little glitches. I don't know why sometimes an install is glitchy but it definitely seems to happen occasionally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drakkahn:
did you try changing your alarm ringtone? I did that and my alarm works fine. I think it's set to silent by default...
[Epic 4G Android Development] qstarin:
Ya, I had it set to audible tones. One was a song, "Good morning, good morning ..." the second, backup, was a horror scream ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremyglass:
Anybody having Bluetooth issues with this version of the rom? Mine says turning on but then turns back off??

PS Love the battery- went 1d 11h 42m with 6% left!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Have you tried a third party alarm app? I have used alarm clock plus from the market on all roms since I first rooted my phone. I like to disable the desk clock and plug in times. I also always use clock sync and set that to auto sync every hour and sync on boot. These steps may not be needed, but I like to stick with what has never failed me, as I use my phone as my main alarm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
Of course, your mileage may vary.

Newest shadow kernel(1.04) definitely has improved default voodoo color with this rom.

If you already tweaked your colors, this need not apply. I ended up skipping personal color tweaks when I updated to thunderhawk 3.3, so its a nicely seen benefit. It strikes me it'd be easier to tweak from this color base as well. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
I mostly coordinated with him to get this done because boot animations were looking particularly weird, and this could only be fixed with the default settings. From there, anyone can tweak to their own liking with voodoo control. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ebroker:
Thought I'd chime in on this too since 3.3 has been a bit challenging. Was on II and the Shadow ROM which proved to be pretty stable with no screen lock running (not ideal but it helped). I also have a relatively new 32GB SD card, but have been running that about 1 month w/o issues.

3.3 full (no lock mod) seemed to install well after a standard 3x wipe etc... so was clean... but then many restored apps FCed (using Titanium to restore) until being deleted and re-installed from market. But then com.android.phone started FC'ing. Ultimately did another download of 3.3 and another clean install... but the app issues persisted. Also Laucherpro would suddenly fail to load/run a widget.

All back to normal for past 12 hrs, but still can't get the WatchESPN app to run... I believe it worked under Phoenix but not sure I ever ran it under II

Anyone get Watch ESPN to run?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
;) thanks then. That samsung kernel logo being a different color/shade kept messing with me. Boot animation is definitely improved too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Apps backed up do not always restore properly in Gingerbread. For many apps, I've had to back up the data, uninstall and reinstall the app, and then restore the data.

I'll second the comment on the 3.2.1 font... really liked that and haven't seen anything exactly the same including in the one mentioned in QBKing77's vid.

What was the font that you used in XX II XX I mean 3.2.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Det0natoR:
Just wanted to post an update since I have been running 3.3 for a few days now. Everything is running buttery smooth now since I have tracked down an app doing a lot of background garble. Turns out it was Juice Defender. I was always jealous of screenshots where the android system was using less percentage of battery than cell standby and whatnot. It was actually auto brightness setting in JD causing this. Haven't tried without that setting enabled, but with the way this rom sips power, there is no need for it anymore. I can also confirm this happens with another auto brightness app on the market as well. It's kind of sad considering how bad android's auto brightness setting is (doesn't get near dark enough in a dark room). Still not getting less than 1% per hour like some, but I think that it's just my battery being so old. This will definitely be my daily driver for a while, at least until the memory leak in the 10-9 lockmod gets fixed or there is a release with asop lockmod. Thanks again for all your hard work on this Random and as always will be keeping an eye open for more attention grabbing features in upcoming releases. You are top notch!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Since I haven't seen this posted in a while, just dropping a tip that you can simply run your finger back and forth on the statusbar at any time to adjust brightness. Auto brightness must be off for this to work. I have found myself using this feature more often since voodoo color was introduced.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
My faithful tester has pointed out to me that, by some chance, the modified video player did not, in fact, make it into the final revision. In compiling multiple versions across three computers, I suppose it was bound to happen with something. A small issue rarely noticed by few people, but the mod is now linked in the OP. This WILL be in 3.4.

ALSO: A question, does anyone actually use Kies Air? It's a rather large application to be built into a rom.

ALSO ALSO: Look for the old fonts as a flash-able attached in the OP soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lost_:
AirDroid is smaller.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
And Market download-able. I'll take that as one vote against Kies Air. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
I installed this Rom yesterday and love it so far. Runs great and is themed perfectly.

One very minor problem i noticed is my ringtones didnt switch over. I was using one of the standard ones that was on the phone, nothing special, but now there is only about five to choose from and i'm not a fan of any of them.

I saw on the first page that the folders need to be created on the sdcard to put custom ringtones/notifications and i have done that. Does somebody know where i can download all the original ringtones that were on the phone before? i've searched a little but have had no luck so far. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] pixlz:
Two against. :)

I used it once on syndicate 1.2... but its not as nice or fast as a data cable for me. Considering every phone comes with a data cable, kies strikes me that it'd be better as an optional download.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
You'll need a stock rom, or whichever rom you came from. Open the .zip with 7zip or similar and you'll find the built-in ringtones under \system\media\audio\ringtones\.

I've kept the selection in RandomROM small, as it's subjective choice and I use/switch my own regularly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Same here, tried it once on srf 1.2 and never again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
RandomKing, thanks for the quick response on the ringtones. Ill snag them from another rom when i get home.

Also add one more vote against adding in Kies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Or just grab Zedge from the market to fill all of your needs.

*My daily rom btw, beautiful work Random!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ebroker:
Don't so much care if KiesAir is included, and like AirDroid interface, but KiesAir will run from SD card which is very helpful.

What I'm thinkin is a flashable optionable recommended app file? I'm thinkin that devs like Randonking and the field of testers etc. that have pushed the limits of these phones have A/B tested lots of similar apps and have a strong rationale for their recommendations (which could save folks like me lots of time)!
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Glad you like it!

Anyone with an original Galaxy Tab 7", I just found that it's been updated to 2.3.4 Gingerbread since July. Furthermore, Rodderick has posted everything needed to finally customize my own fast and smooth rooted Gingerbread, so I'll be taking a shot at that!

[Also, it's my wife's tablet, and she's finally willing to let me play with it!]
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Ha! I know how that goes! My wife had her Evo for 13 months before she'd let me play with it! As of last night, it's running an alpha release of ICS. :D

By the way, 3.3 is my daily driver. It's been the most reliable GB ROM I've tried... very good battery life, too! Great work! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bbqsfire:
I have been using this update since day one of 3.3. I updated bbelos kernel to the new 1.04+OC and this rom/kernel combo is almost perfection. I had one reboot but honestly I think it was an app problem. I am consistently getting 14 hrs plus out of my extended battery with heavy use. I use to be a flashaholic but since this came out I can't find a reason to flash anything else. Random you deserve many many thanks for this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Does anyone have issue with BT? Mine doesn't turn on.

AirDroid is installed on my SD card and runs fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
I don't think Kies Air needs to be included with this ROM. AirDroid is great for those that need it and easy to get from the Market. Let's try and keep RandomROM as small as possible. That's my 2 cents, anyway :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
We are leading parallel lives; I flashed 3.3. on day 1, and can't part with it. Crazy battery life has made me OCD; I now have all black wallpaper/ black apps/ shut down auto sync, etc etc to try to push battery to new limits. Rom is near perfect, with many thanks to King Random! Once in awhile, do get the freeze/soft reboot but I attribute that to the lockmod.

Question- aside of Launcher 7, is there anything markedly different about Serenicity EI22? Is it just Window-ized Thunderhawk 3.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dblkspecial:
Is there a way to get the Samsung widgets back on this bad boy?
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Its still a work in progress. Things are meant to be simpler. For example:

Camera is switched out for the lighter miui camera.

Smaller install (no full/lite)

No advanced installer.

Simple power menu.

Etc.

Suggestions welcome.

Feature-wise as far as mods and things, it will be about the same always.

Humm... OK wasn't an option under manage Applications but Titanium Pro took care of that. Any recommendations for discovering what can be safely moved... is it just a question of iterating through with something like Titanium?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
i just tried and I can't get mine to turn on either. if i go into settings, wireless, bluetooth and try, it just says "turning on..." but never does.

another thing that has popped up is i seem to lose my connectivity occasionally. whether on wifi or 3g/4g it will say i am connected and have a good signal but when i try to use anything that needs to access the internet it says not connected. rebooting fixes it but a hours later it will do it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Admittedly, I've noticed this. But it only crops up after extended use. I find that after a fresh reboot, Bluetooth will turn on and off instantaneously with no problem. Bizarre, but I can't say that I touched any file remotely near Bluetooth so I don't know why this happens.

4G has always been problematic for me, and I can only test it when working in the city.

3G generally works just fine for me.

Wifi can be a bit tricky at times, and here's what I know:

Google/Samsung reduced wifi overall to enhance battery life.

I reduced wifi re-scanning to enhance battery life.

These factors coupled together can lead to wifi not redetecting immediately upon entering a known zone (i.e. coming home). Turning wifi on may not immediately present you with a list of available connections. Possibly variations of these conditions.

However, if I'm in a stable connection (2 or more bars) of any of the three continuously, I don't see losses of data connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
I have also noticed the BT issue. Rebooting has always solved this issue for me as well. It's very sporadic. I've had it on for two days straight and it just turned on just fine.

Something strange happened with mine on Christmas though. I purposely turned off wifi and 4g in order to conserve battery life while visiting with my family. I would pull out my phone ever now and then to check the time/send a text/update facebook, etc... Every so often, my 4g or Wifi would magically turn themselves back on! Has anyone else seen this happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaveWW00:
I rebooted and bluetooth fired up. Ill try to see if i can notice a pattern to the connectivity issue.

On a seperate note: RandomKing- Do you use juice defender with this rom?

Fully Charged light

Hey just noticed that the led no longer appears to go blue when the battery is fully charged... believe this was working under 3.2.1

Am I missing some notification setting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JeffATL:
My phone does show blue light when fully charged.

Jeffro, are you using Voltage Control with Shadow? If yes what settings? Thanks.

Also didn't change anything on VooDoo color, do u reccomend? Default seems good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VassagoX:
Mine is blue as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeffro18:
Blue led works fine here too.

I use voltage control and cpu spy. I mainly run on default settings, but decided to go back to my known stable uv values earlier today. I haven't found much need to overclock for my usage since running gb roms, but do mess around with alternate settings at times.

I have been happy with the shadow 1.0.4 default voodoo settings, as they were fairly close to my custom settings anyway. I toned down the blues a few clicks on the lady's phone, as they looked a bit too intense for my liking. There is no doubt in my mind that I am seeing a difference in the display between the two phones with the same settings.

Also, I have not had these wifi issues reported earlier, but my wifi is always full bars at home. I am a very light bluetooth and 4g user, and have not seen those issues reported lately either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
So far for this user-

1) bluetooth works fine

2) Wi-fi on dual-band ASUS router also good

3) 4G in Orlando FL working as well.

Brilliant Green Theme is nearly complete!

This is the most theming I have personally done myself.

:D

UPDATE: Yay it's done! Boy I hate theming, but the results are worth it. Coloring things green takes a good deal of time! Even with my shortcuts. Then there's the stupid .9 patching crap. Anyway, it's ready to be posted. So I'm uploading as I type this.

It's basically the same theme with green accents where once there was blue, as well as green messaging, green boot/shutdown. The whole kit. I'll be re-updating the stock theme so that both will be fully interchangeable (professional blue theme does not include boot/shutdown animations or messaging, but will).

Before you complain, I like the battery icon as it is and it's staying. I like it to stand out for quick battery checking. Also, altering it would mean modifying 200 tiny image files. It's bad enough modifying the Galaxy Tab to use the battery mod :-).

UPDATE: Posted in Op! It can also be used to switch power menus and scroll-able or non toggles, which are also themed! Assembled for the wife. She loves green.

After some time with the rom, I'm now experiencing these problems:

1. Sometimes Bluetooth and Wifi will not work when I try to turn them on until I reboot the phone. They look like they are turning on, but then go gray again.

2. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of browsing and suddenly Wifi or 4g will stop connecting to the net, even though the phone shows them as connected. This seems to happen at random and again, a reboot fixes it.

These are only minor nuisances in an otherwise awesome rom! Has anyone else experienced these?

I'm using the Full rom without lockscreen.

Honestly, this has happened with my girlfriend on 4g. She told me it had turned on on her. I'd never heard it happening before, I've not seen it on my phone. I thought she mighta been crazy. Guess she's not, for that reason anywhos.

Very Nice!

Hey CK - you got another winner here! Awesome rom - quick - light - very nice - It looked like your screen shots inclluded lockmods - but I can't seem to find them - are you teasing us? or is this planned for future release? or am I just blind and looking in the wrong place?

Don't get me wrong - l love the way you themed the stock lock - but I was hoping to have some different options?

One quick side note - I noticed that the 'secondary menus' are pretty dark and a little difficult to read - any chance you can lighten the background of those menus a little bit? I think this has been a problem on a number of the other EI22 Roms - many are even much darker than the ones on this ROM - at least if you look really hard you can read what the options are - but it isn't easy - not a big deal and no rush - I can even live with it the way it is if need be -

all in all - a great rom - thanks!
