Is there a stock overclock? This seems very snappy for me. Not running Set CPU
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Still having the issue in the public release, that I reported in the beta version. With the wifi sleep policy set to never, (spare parts) the wifi still sleeps when the screen goes off. Flashed back to last public version to reconfirm, and it works properly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
My phone don't like 1.3 either but a 100mhz really ain't much of a difference. Its just bragging rights.

Yes my theme will work with this kernel with no issues

12 hours of moderate use with 49% battery left ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thejusticemoose:
When running v.1.2.0 with Epic experience v.1.2.0.8 the startup screen becomes the galaxy s logo overlaid with a slightly un-rendered "android" banner this flashes on on and off. It has no affect on performance and everything boots fine but its more of an aesthetics thing more me. Love the kernel and definitely wont leave it for this, but are there any known fixes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Thats because Epic Experience doesn't use a custom boot animation.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Had to switch to Phoenix because the screen flickering was getting really bad :(. Once this is fixed I will go back to Xtreme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
if i am flashing to the newest version do i need to clear my cache,battery stats,etc.?

PyRo
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Agreed. The flickering (auto-brightness?) seems to get worse the more the battery runs down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Yeah I think it has to do with auto brightness which I always use. Hopefully this gets fixed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Eek. I can't recreate this problem. I'm trying again today. This kernel is designed for using the auto-brightness and should save battery on it. I'm hoping that it is the voodoo mod so that when I release the no-voodoo branch, it'll correct itself. I'll try and have it out today (assuming my other project doesn't interfere too much).
[Epic 4G Android Development] LucJoe:
Same question here. Flashing from the previous Xtreme kernel / syndicate rom. Should be able to flash both updated ones and go without any wiping right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Pyro, I don't know how I got your quote in my last reply :P

Anyway, to both of you, wiping cache wouldn't hurt. Same with dalvik-cache.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blspyro:
yea that was interesting but it gave me hopes that you would respond and you did.

Anyways is delvik cache located on the same screen and will clearing cache get rid of my screen apps,etc.?

So far i am clearning the cache when i update,my battery stats is their anything else i should do?

PyRo
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Dalvik is in the advanced screen. Your apps are fine, they're in /data/app and some in /system/app, which is only affected by factory reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] barakisbrown:
Thanks..yes I have your theme and transistion working wonderfully. 1.3 was causing the problems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
1.3 was giving me random freezes, 1.2 working without issue so far. I also have the flicker issue when in auto-brightness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Hey, everyone having the flicker issue:

Is there any way you can get a video of it? That would help me greatly!
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
No flickering issues here, but then again I never use auto brightness either. I always keep my phone fully bright...if I wanted a dim and less bring screen I would have gotten an EVO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] effudee:
I have no access to a video camera, but I can only get it to flicker turning the screen off and on with any brightness level below full brightness (w/ switchpro).
[Epic 4G Android Development] cbpagent72:
Syndicate ROM is great but extreme kernel is unstable, screen flickers and requires reboot. I went back to the fluff kernel and everything is smooth with the Syndicate ROM now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
I don't agree. The new kernel is very stable for me. Thanks to the creator of this kernel for your great work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
After all the time I've spent on various forums, ROM and kernal after ROM and kernal installation and reading comments like this, sometimes it simply comes down to the human factor. I've got absolutely NO problems with either the ROM or the kernal, so that really only leaves one other problem that remains a constant...poeple's installation errors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
The only problem I had with this kernel is when I OC'd it to 1.3ghz. Once I bumped it down to 1.2, it's been very stable. I really don't care for voodoo, waiting for the non-voodoo kernel to come out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Most likely if you're not having the screen flickering problem its because auto brightness is off, or else just wait cause over time it will happen. The first time I installed it it flickered immediately, went to phoenix, it stopped, then I went back and it was fine for hours but then when I woke up it started flickering again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dalvarez7:
Do you have a mirror link to Phoenix's latest kernel?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
This isn't true at all, Schizo. While the problem only seems to exist when you use autobrightness, it DOES NOT affect everyone. I've been running this kernel for a while now, from full to near-dead battery, and no flicker issue whatsoever. I work with the kernel to better utilize auto-brightness, too, so of course that's what I'm using. None of my beta testers mentioned a flicker, either (however, a 'pop' was mentioned by one, provided a video, wasn't a flicker).

Now, this is something to consider: What ROM is everyone on who is experiencing the flicker? Obviously you're on EE, Schizo, but all my testers and myself are on Syndicate. May be related.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
Went from BackedSnack 1.6 to SyndicateRom 1.0.2, and installed xtremekernel 1.2.0 and I am using auto brightness and have experienced absolutely NO screen flickering. I charged my phone completely over night to start calibrating, and it just now died on me after about 14 hours of above normal usage (really impressed so far) and not once did my screen flicker at low power or any other time. Would like to have a nonvoodoo version however just because i dont like voodoo. Major props on the kernel though

EDIT: Thought i might add that when i switched roms i did a clean install, meaning wiped everything 3 times then restored all my apps from the market rather then advanced restore through CWM. Absolutely no issues so far With Syndicate 1.0.2+xtremekernel 1.2.0
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
@Devin: I'm running the full syndicate willy:shuriken, lucy and beast final. My definition of flicker is a sudden jump (up or down) in brightness, often immediately followed by an opposite jump.
[Epic 4G Android Development] knx2:
In the display settings do you have save battery with display checked? When I remove the check my screen is brighter but on a white background my screen flickers, but this has the same effect on anything I use even stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Can anyone confirm / deny this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] grumpySasquatch:
Do you think you could add a function for app2sd please?? 8)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's a rom deal and not a function of the kernel.

That said, I second the request to the syndicate as a whole :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chaostrodamis:
Can't wait for the Xtreme kernel without voodoo. Is it anywhere in sight?

SyndicateROM v1.0.2 + Xtreme kernel v1.2.0 + Emotionless beast final = Great functionality, Exceptional battery life, and Sweet eye candy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
I can confirm it. I keep meaning to add it to the known-bugs sections... I'll add it shortly.

It's here. Check the main post.

So, I just uploaded two new files. The file that ends in 'nv.zip' is a no-Voodoo kernel. It uses stock settings, you're good to go. The one ending in 'ov.zip' is the original Voodoo color modification, not the tweaked one.

I am in a hurry this morning, but I told you guys I'd have this out soon, so I did a quick addition of it (I was gonna git it all, but I just don't have the time right now... on my way out the door to work). Anyway, enjoy guys. Hopefully this clears the flicker issue up. If not, I know exactly where the culprit is and I'll attempt to iron it out soon.

I'll be checking in from work, so I expect some reports :P

Thanks, guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Awesome. Thanks, man
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
Trying the new one without voodoo. So far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vince06:
so out of the three versions of 1.2 which one should give the best battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Battery should be the same across the board. The three versions just affect color and clarity of the screen. Any difference would be minimal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FoxRacR17:
So I shouldn't have to recalibrate the battery when trying out the 3 different versions right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
After using 1.0.1 more, I did notice it was also a issue there. I thought it was not but I was wrong. It does seem to take far longer (on that version) for the wifi to sleep however. Not sure why but hope this helps.

Correct. You only need to recalibrate when changing kernels to a different one entirely or for major rewrites. You are fine without calibrating for changing between these three.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Does this kernel work with the leaked froyo 2.2 for epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
No. 10char
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnyardavid:
After installing lucy with syndicate 1.0.2 the phone ran less smooth. Nothing that really got in the way of usage, just something noticeable. I tried different governors and min-max settings. I went back to 1.0.1 and it runs nice and smooth again. I also have one of the phones that runs the 1.6ghz just fine. Thank you for your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
My guess is that when k0nane releases the next version of SyndicateROM, it will be much more compatible with this new version of the kernel. I know it is in the works, just a matter of time until it is released.
[Epic 4G Android Development] myke66:
Epic doesnt recognize any headsets plugged in with this rom/kernal. This goes for the headset that came with it, and AUX cable to my car...any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Try wiping and reflashing. It works for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] myke66:
Gonna try the newest version of the kernal, was running the 1.6ghz version, and see if that helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ylwsub68:
Got some issues.

This kernel isn't playing nice with the email app or the browser. I open an e-mail and click "show pictures" and then it'll start loading the pictures. Then I start scrolling through the email and it will black out suddenly and go back to the inbox. Same thing with the browser.

Suggestions? Go back to 1.0.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
That's not a kernel problem. Wipe cache and dalvik and try again
[Epic 4G Android Development] ylwsub68:
How about this one? I power off the phone and it's stuck in the middle of the shutdown animation. Had to pull the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Btw, what gets stored in the dalvik cache?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Again try wiping cache and dalvik see if that solves your problem. If not re flash the kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Don't quote me on this but the dalvik cache is where the information need to install apps and system information needed for installs and other system information. Nothing is harmed out gone missing when clearing the dalvik cache
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
I posted this on an extended battery thread, but I still wanted to get some opinions on what I might have setup incorrectly on my phone that would only have allowed 1hr of what I'd consider basic usage:

I'm still out of town in Reno, so I don't know if the battery has even arrived yet. I dream of the day of getting 10hrs of use, let alone 20hrs. Hell, just lastnight I went to the airport to pickup family. Between when I left at 9:30PM, I had Maps running to get me there, checked emails, played on Google Earth and some Dungeon Hunter while waiting until about 10:30 when I got the call that they landed. My phone kept making a funny clicking noise even after Dungeon Hunter stopped playing, so I reset the phone. Once the phone booted up again, it was a dim screen and the battery icon wsa flashing a red 0 circle. So basically I went a whole hour.

Granted, I'm running Syndicate ROM, Xtreme kernal and SetCPU at 1.3ghz on Performance. Good times, but terrible battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Thats really bad life. Not sure why but there has to be a reason.

I have never had good battery life with syndicate / xtereme. I am almost leaning toward I get better stock, but I always get at least 6+ hrs.

In any case the best battery life I ever got with the epic was with EE and phenoix kernel. Easily got 12+ hrs with heavy use. If I were you I would try those.

Also might want to look into apps that are using background data. Time without signal. Widgets. Live wallpapers. Task managers. (Big argument in the community about if they are worth it, I do use one, but had bad luck with a auto killer) Is 4G always on with a spotty 4g signal? I am by no means the best person to help with battery life, but those are some places to think about.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
You haven't had good battery life, but your signature says otherwise ;) One of things I like the most in this ROM/Kernal is the lack of battery notifications when it's charged.

I really have no preferences in ROM's, I just want a fast phone w/ good battery life and features. I was stock for quite a while, but I decided to try this ROM since I know I'll be formatting the phone soon enough for when 2.2 finally comes out. I can look up Pheonix kernal, but what is EE?

I'm using Advanced Task Killer on my phone and have killed just about every app that I have installed, minus the ones I use on a regular basis...SEVEN email, Handcent, LauncherPro, etc. I have a handful of music widgets (Pandora, Slacker, etc), but I've had these on both Android phones I've had. I don't see why having a live wallpaper would affect the phone unless I'm actually sitting on my desktop while the live wallpaper is playing. For example, I was using video live wallpapers for a while and everytime I went away from the desktop, the video would pause and would resume when I came back to the desktop. I can't really say if my issue is just this ROM/Kernal or what though. Personally I think 4G is a waste of time since it bogs the phone as it connects/reconnects from the network, so there are times where it got so damn annoying that I simply turn it off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
EE is Epic Experience
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
I've seen a few of your posts on here in regards to issues with this ROM/Kernal, and since you have EE in your signature, do you agree that EE/Phoenix could be a good combo? I'm going to readup on the both of these now...I hope I don't get stuck with the battery popups again though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] schizopunk:
The latest version is now working great. I'm using the non-voodo version and no flickering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
Downloaded Non-Voodoo version, wiped Dalvik Cache, got a weird message saying E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (No such file or directory), yet it still tells me that the Dalvik Cache was wiped. Anyways, installed the kernal, now I've got my fingers crossed that battery life will be better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cicada:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is where apps2sd would be if your sdcard were formatted for it. Nothing to worry about, since dalvik cache is on your internal mem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
Cool, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
My sig does claim that syndicate is Rad, no doubt. I did just change it a bit before I read your post. However it does not, and did not claim that syndicate with xtreme was good for battery, just Beast in general :p

EE is epic experience.

As for the battery stuff, I donno. Just seems like live wallpapers and widgets are bound to use more battery. I have no facts to back this up though. :p

You are right, 4G is f%cking worthless. I stopped using it the day I got my phone. It wont stay connected. Worse when it disconnects whatever you are doing doesnt pick up the 3g stream when it drops you have to refresh it. Pathetic! Good thing its not the reason I got the epic!

I am considering switching back to EE with phoenix myself, due to battery.

Widgets and live wp most definetly use more battery....a lot of widegets open up programs that run in the background....hence constant running....so u are correct...

Sent from my Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
Lately I've had a couple issues since updating to the no-Voodoo kernal. I had my phone just randomly reset while sitting there next to me, not even using it, just sitting there. It also seems to be running a hair slower, reacting time when hitting buttons, etc.

I realize that running widgets and live wallpapers may cause extra battery drain while the screen is on, but when the screen is off, I would think it shouldn't really matter. I understand that widgets are sitting there on my desktop, but I run Startup Manager and it kills just about everything at startup that I have clicked to have stopped. Does having a widget on my desktop still cause battery issues even when it's killed? I thought they just sat there doing nothing just like any other app on my desktop...inactive until I run them.

I'm flipping the coin of whether or not I should just stick with this ROM and just be patient until 2.2 comes out or start from scratch and try the EE/Phoenix. I assume that once 2.2 comes out it'd be best to have a stock phone for the upgrade to apply, so I'm also thinking about just flashing to stock (I wish it was as easy as doing the Moment), rooting (so I can install certain apps) and just waiting it out for 2.2.

[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
So you can see in my signature where I'm at ROM/Kernal wise. I don't know if this is a ROM or kernal issue, but I'm having wild screen issues. If I go into Menu > Settings > Sound & Display, I have Auto Brightness turned unchecked, brightness turned up all the way and then I noticed tonight that when I unchecking the Power Saving Mode box it causes me issues when I goto apps like Handcent, Gtasks, etc that have bright white screens/backgrounds. I get crazy lines that look like something you'd see on a TV w/ a bad connection.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sauron0101:
Got a bug to report with Xtreme Kernel v1.2. When I set the wallpaper, Starlight Live, the phone seems to freeze. The wallpaper seems to crash on me as well. Note that Cachemate was running the background.

I had to do a battery pull - nothing was responding. Repeated several times - except it froze on boot. I'm reverting back to v1.01 for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tnynyn:
Similar experience happened to me, I was changing wallpaper (regular, 1920x1080 resolution) and it froze. Had to do a battery pull. Changed resolution and all seem well again. I am on Syndicate Rom and Xtreme Kernel 1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
For me, this kernel gets the brightness curve just right, except the "night mode" superdim level is strangely @ 37 (0-255), instead of 0, which makes it hard to find sliding across the notification bar.

So, I made a tasker task to toggle night mode brightness on and off. Exported XML attached. Import this into tasker, then create a shortcut in the launcher of your choice.

Preserves current brightness setting and just toggles the super dim level on and off.

(gonna have to attach the zip when I'm back at my PC later today... dang tapatalk!)

Can someone please explain what voodoo is, and whether or not I should be using it? I'm running syndicate 1.0.2. Also, I remember seeing somewhere that voodoo causes problems when flashing roms--not sure where, but it might have been when I was helping my friend w/ his Vibrant. Should I be worried about future Syndicate updates if I flashed the tweaked voodoo version of Lucy? Thanks guys! :)

I have a quick question..

I originally installed extreme kernel v1.2.0, then (without thinking that it came preloaded with the rum kernel) flashed in Syndrome "Shuriken". If I want to reload v1.2.0, do I need to flash or just flash from sd in CWM menu?

Also, is there a guide/walkthrough on this specific rom? My 3G symbol rarely flashes and my last linpack was 8.077 mflops. *le sigh*

Sent from my Epic Beast diagnosed with the Extreme Syndrome..

My Beast can haz noms on yer Romz?? o__O
[Epic 4G Android Development] Etrnlwanderer:
Have never flashed a custom ROM till dat on my Epic though I'm on rooted DI18. Would like to definitely try the Shuriken SuperSlim (which I presume doesnt have the Xtreme Kernel bundled with it), so if was to go ahead, would I first have to flash this kernel and only then go ahead with flashing the SuperSlim from SD card?

Sorry for what probably is an extremely noob Q, but I couldnt find any procedures as to how a newbie should approach this :)

Alternatively if somebody could just point me to a flashing tut put up specifically for the Syndicate, I'd be more than happy :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
You could do it either way, flashing the kernel on the stock ROM works, and also flashing it onto SyndicateROM works. Its pretty much your choice. You can flash them together if you want, like before rebooting your phone after flashing the ROM and then flash the kernel.
