Does this updated rom use a different version of busybox? Metamorph worked fine on sai, but is complaining on 1.0.2.

I reinstalled busybox (standard options: 1.17.1, system/bin)), but metamorph still doesn't see it (metamorph worked on 1.0.1).

I'll just refont using root explorer
[Epic 4G Android Development] hoopdy77:
You may have to flash a different kernel. The kernel in this ROM is made for custom boot animations. That is why you get the flashing android logo. I'm unsure if flashing another kernel will correct this or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dietolive4ever:
n00b question.

if i install this rom, will i still be able to update to Froyo when they send out the update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
I believe you would need to unroot in order to get the ota froyo regardless of what custom/rooted/deodexed rom you are running.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to develop this rom considering that Froyo is knocking on the door. Even if Froyo comes out tomorrow I would not even consider upgrading as I really like the loaded Syndicate (Shuriken) rom. I have learned over many years to NEVER use a version 1 of anything. I will wait for an updated Froyo Syndicate rom. :D

One small request: How about a small circle battery indicator that changes from green to yellow to red if it would be possible in your next revision? :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsperko:
I appreciate you considering the stock calendar. I would really prefer an app that will put my appointments in the correct place by default.

I love the rom and appreciate it. I kicked in a small donation, please keep up the great work, with or without the stock calendar.

Thx,

-Rick

Ok, so I'm running the newest version of Syndicate ROM and the newest version of Emotionless Best theme on my Epic. I tried a different lock screen which I didn't care for so I restored my backup. Everything worked well enough except the wired and wireless tether apps that were included with Syndicate ROM are missing from my apps now. Does anyone know how I can reinstall these apps or where I can download them from?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trizen:
I thought the fully loaded rom had setcpu on it or am I just overlooking it as usual
[Epic 4G Android Development] rldev:
Everything is running well. But I am having lots of Market problems. I clear market cache, etc, reboot. I can't install programs like Dolphin Browser. It just hangs at 100% and never installs. Any advice is welcomed. This is latest syndicate and factory reset and full wipes. Thanks.

Aweosme rom, it is fast and very nicely customized. One thing of note is I'm not able to connect to 4g, unless sprint magically turned it off here since technically LA is not live. I cannot test the 4g on my evo because I'm running cyanogen on it, so the folks in 4g area are you able to connect?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quis89:
Worked after the second restart. Thanks!

Don't use a task manager...

[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
Try canceling the download and clear market cache...then re-download the app. It's worked for me...maybe you'd get lucky at it too.

Does 4g work on the syndicate, it turns on but doesn't find any 4g networks just continues to scan.

Sounds like your not in a 4g area
[Epic 4G Android Development] blutenchi:
Just wanted to say thanks for the great ROM, I've tried most and currently bounce between EE and this. Getting ready for my bounce from EE back to Syndicate today.

Only thing I have run into that nobody else has mentioned was a screen time out/lockup while on a call. My setup at that time was Syndicate 1.0.1, Xtreme Kernel that came packaged with the fully loaded version, and the ACS EB theme. This is what happened:

Left work and switched Roam Control from Roam Only to Automatic.

Checked VM, then proceeded to make a call.

While on the call I took the handset away from my ear to input on the number pad (was calling the bank).

Doing this would cause the screen to turn off and on due to the proximity sensor, and I want to say I did this 4 or 5 times to get through all the voice prompts I had.

Then my screen locked up with the screen on. No inputs registered on the touch screen, the keyboard, or the side buttons (volume, camera, and power).

After about 5 minutes to see if some inputs would register, I ended up pulling the battery and rebooting.

For me this was an isolated incident, have not been able to reproduce. Not even sure if it was a ROM issue, Kernel issue, App issue, or handset issue concerning the proximity sensor. Just figured I'd let you know.

Thanks again for the ROM, can't wait to see what's to come next!

I can also confirm that this occasionally occurs. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to happen every time I end a phone call. I have yet to have it occur with the stock Epic music player though (for what little it may be worth).

[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
FWIW...

Tried this ROM last week shortly after it came out. I liked it, but I was having too many FCs, and one in particular worried me (I posted about it earlier in the thread, can't remember the system app that was FC).

Also had weird problems with bluetooth -- thinking it was connected when it wasn't, actually being connected and routing audio to the handset, etc.

So, went back to stock ROM with MixUp kernel. Bummer. I like the ROM.

After all the continuing great praise, I decided to try it again, but this time building up my configuration in a "clean" way. Last time, I wiped, wiped, wiped, installed the ROM, then restored apps+data+system from Titanium. I'm guessing that was part of the problem -- something "system" got restored, over-writing something Syndicate, messing up the whole shebang.

Got out a fresh roll of toilet paper and wiped, wiped, wiped again, installed the ROM, but this time I reinstalled all my market apps from the market (forcing download and virgin install), then went into Titanium and did a selective restore of just app data for my market apps; then, for apps that I installed from other sources (like all my Gameloft games, for example), did a selective app+data restore from Titanium for those things.

I almost have everything back the way I want it -- it's close enough. Of course, I have a different theme, which I like (the status indicators are very nice, and it's also really nice to have 1XRTT data connections indicated now too!), and most importantly, nothings crashing, working strangely, etc. It all seems to be working flawlessly, fast, smooth, and really nice.

So, if you're having trouble with FCs and strange behavior, try going pure "virgin" on the install, and then put your config back together manually, piecemeal, rather than a batch restore from a backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryoung07:
This isn't a problem with the ROM. This happens on stock and I confirmed the bug with Samsung. It's a proximity sensor issue. Support said they were sending it to development for inclusion in a future update. Whatever that means.

Sent from my Epic 4g

[Epic 4G Android Development] blutenchi:
Yeah, wasn't sure if it was ROM or hardware related, just never happened to me until after I flashed Syndicate. Also only happened once, figured it was a one time deal, and so far it is. Wasn't sure if anyone else had this happen to them, hadn't seen any threads on it, probably didn't dig enough though.

Possible bug? (Mic dead when using audio out)

This may be a bug, or perhaps I'm just overlooking something. Either way, it's probably worth looking into.

If I connect my phone to a set of speakers using the audio out port (think car stereo or desktop speakers), the mic on the phone does not work (or at least people on the receiving end cannot hear me).

On the stock rom, and recently-posted 2.2 roms, if an incoming call comes in while I'm listening to Pandora for example, the call audio plays through the connected speakers, and I can use my phone's speakerphone as the mic to talk.

On the SyndicateRom, in the same situation, the audio still plays through the connected speakers, but the mic appears to be disabled.

I tested this on the road, and in a more controlled environment at the office with the same results. The problem was reproduceable after flashing from a complete data wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hotwired34:
Finally! I have been going through this thread a few pages a day looking for the steps to calibrate the battery! I tried searching a few times and couldn't find exactly what was meant by calibrating the battery. I did what I thought was calibrating...just using the phone from full to zero three times. What a pain it was.

Thanks for the information.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:

[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
Battery Calibration.

I'm seeing conflicting info on calibrating the battery on a few different points from this and other threads. I'm hoping someone can clear up what is recommended for this ROM.

1. Should we wipe stats when the batter is full or empty?

2. If it is full (pretty sure it is) should we unplug it before or after wiping battery stats?

3. When draining to empty do we let the phone shut itself off or not? If not, at what point should it be plugged in? It seems to be able to keep running for a good while after the batter meter starts blinking.

*sorr for double post. Stupid phone lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Here is what I've read up and feels works best:

Full

I go into Clockwork Recovery and wipe - back to first screen to reboot and pull plug about the same time. So, about the same time if you can.

I let it go all the way. Keep going through the warnings. Just make sure you plug it in after after it shuts-off automatically. I wouldn't recommend leaving it on empty empty for long. I also wouldn't recommend turning it back on over and over again to try to suck it dry. That could be counterproductive in the long run.

That's just my approach based upon my understanding of these batteries and how to tune android without toasting your battery.:eek:

I think the "x" on the boot screen is off center. I'm not completely sure but just bugged me some. On the music player is there a way to have it like Epic Experience during the lock screen? The drop down menu was nice when I was driving so I didnt have to mess with the slider.

Any chance on adding Music Player buttons to the lock screen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
I am pretty sure that is specific to the touchwiz lockscreen. And since everyone inexplicably wants the vanilla lockscreen it won't happen.

Edit: I do not know if flashing the touchwiz lockscreen yourself will get the controls on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbuggydroid:
No problem. It didn't use to be till one day when I went o start the app it said something like tap to update. When I did it opened up the market and I downloaded it there. After flashing this rom I noticed it was gone so I searched the market and bingo there it was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
They are included. You just have to use the TW lockscreen. Its discussed earlier in this thread how to get it.

It is very simple to revert to the TW lockscreen, and the controls work flawlessly when you do. I am using it right now.

Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Ah ok, thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
This is not a ROM issue, so unfortunately I don't have any suggestions for you. Sorry!

You can get the stock icons via an addon in the first post. If you wish to get the stock theme back, you can drop in framework-res.apk from any deodexed stock ROM (or Epic Experience, it's stock save the wallpaper) or the battery mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] warlar12:
What page was it on? Or how do you do it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Simply connect to adb and type:

touch /data/local/enable_glass_lock

No flashing needed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] warlar12:
Ah Ha awesome thanks much
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I'm still in learning mode, so sorry if this is too basic a question, but where/how do I drop in framework-res.apk? I found the file in Epic Experience, but what do I do now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Drop it on your SD card, then do, in 'adb shell':

mv /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework

Then do 'adb reboot'.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Getting closer, but I still need it dumbed down a bit more. Dropping it on sd card is the easy part, but I've never used adb shell before. I know it was part of the original root process, but I joined in after 1 step clockwork was available.

Is this something I can do from a terminal I open on my phone, or do I need to do this linked to the computer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Hook up to your PC, find the folder with ADB in it, then (I'm assuming you're using Windows) open CMD, navigate to the folder, and type 'adb shell'.

Unfortunately you shouldn't/can't move it with/on your phone, because it will freeze - only ADB continues working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Thanks, appreciate the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digijuan:
Where can I get the apk from?
[Epic 4G Android Development] warlar12:
I am now using the TW lock screen. Question, is there a lock screen that is essentially both, I like the music drop box, as well as the side to side unlock with the volume.

Not yet, but we're looking at implementing music controls on the AOSP lock. Winamp does this (in its own way).

I had also never been able to use the mic with the headphones plugged in, even on stock.

Odin brings the phone back to stock, nothing will remain from the root or any custom rom. Cannt find the thread right now, but its around.

Titanium backup is bad restoring on any rom. You should be ok if you only restore data and not the app, but I have had problems with that too. Mybackup pro seems to have less problems for most people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] doubleozero:
Definitely worked for me on the stock rom and the 2.2 betas. Drove from Atlanta to New Orleans and back two weeks ago using the car stereo to hear calls and the phone to talk on the stock rom. I've been using this setup for a while.

I made the same trip this last weekend, only to have it not work on Syndicate. I flashed to 2.2 somewhere on I-85 between Opelika and Auburn, and the car audio/phone speakerphone setup worked fine again. (Imagine my disappointment when I tried to use the GPS though.)

Anyway...

If I use Odin to restock the phone, it works fine.

If I flash to 2.2 (tried the 'default' rom from the forums and the mammom rom), and it works fine.

If I flash to Syndicate from 2.1 or 2.2, it no longer works. In all cases, data and cache were cleared before flashing.
