I know ACS has moved on to the new and bright future that is froyo, but i do have a question on this ROM if you don't mind me askin ;) I apologize in advance if this has been asked & answered countless times as well. I used to keep up on this thread pretty reguarly, but a busy schedule has not allowed me to keep up.. and i have the memory of a <insert some insect w/ no memory> and have forgotten most of the stuff i did read here lol.

So i had some time to spare at work today, so i -finally- decide to slap the fully loaded syndicateROM and Xtreme kernel on my phone. Did the usual -wipe everything 3x- and then flashed. Thing freakin smokes on speed. Its awesome. Scrolling was smooth before, but this is just retarded fast with everything set to fast speeds in spare parts, SetCPU set @ 1200/100.

My question is this:

Having all this performance is great, but i want my apps/data/settings back. Now I can easily get that all back in one fell swoop with clockwork data advanced restore, but i'm worried that will kind of override the glory that this beastly ROM is basking in. Cause that restore will put back everything from my previous ROM will it not?

So if that's the case, the main thing i'd like to restore in would be: Contacts, Email accounts/settings, and SNS accounts/settings. Apps would be nice, but i can sync and reinstall manually w/ Appbrain.. hassle yeah, but not too big of a deal... So what's the best way to back these up and bring them over to SyndicateROM without fudging up any of the epic glory (hey that would make a good rom or kernel code name lol)

Sorry for the long post.. i just drank my preworkout stuff and i'm starting to tweak a bit lol (caffein weee)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Are you still running the DI18 modem?

Don't worry. Even though we release new Froyo builds as soon as we get them, we still support what we've put out - until the official, final Froyo release! ;)

As for the restore, indeed it will restore everything from the backup, including all the things you don't want, and wipe your /data before doing so. We suggest either rebuilding manually, or restoring to your old ROM, and using MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup to back up settings only. Then reflash this ROM, download your apps from the Market, and restore your data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
Cool. I kind of tried that with Titanium, but it was a hodge podge of a mess and i still didn't end up with my Contacts, SNS settings, or Email stuff lol :o. I think my problem is I'm just not quite sure what all needs to be selected to get those system app settings. I will just have to experiment with it 'till I get it right.

Thanks for the comments!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
For contacts, you should sync with Google. It's by far the best way to keep things proper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I had this rom but switched to Epic Experience because it only had 3 docks. Was there a way to get more docks without purchasing the launcher?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
(That 'thank' button's easy to misclick!) Just go to Menu > Preferences, and you can adjust all of the features of LauncherPro there. Alternatively, you can use ADW if you have Fully Loaded. Epic Experience does not have "more docks". :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I looked in there and the number of docks was 3, it would not let me change it. By docks, I mean home screens to swipe through (EE has 7 total).
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Tw, launcher pro, and adw have the option of 7 home pages. There configurable in the settings
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
There is an option under preferences -> home screens. You can tell it how many screens u want. I'm using 5 right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
Got this all going last night. Mybackup is really nice, worked great (wouldn't recommend calendar or contacts restore). Thing is flying liked a winged beast!

I went ahead and loaded juice defender per my old s setup to give a fair battery life comparison. Are there any known issues with syndicate rom/kernel? I just unplugged from my first 0% to 100% charge so we'll see how it goes
[Epic 4G Android Development] lifeofbean:
Hey guys, I put Syndicate 1.0.2 on last night. I like it so far, except for one thing.

For whatever reason, as soon as I make a call, the screen goes blank and nothing will respond. No buttons work at all, but the call does connect. If the person I've called hangs up, the phone comes back to life on the lock screen.

Anyone seen this before? It was working fine with the stock rom.

edit: I wiped data/cache before installing.

edit2: Nevermind, I think the proximity sensor on my phone is bad. Even formatting both SD and all of the internal memory and putting stock firmware/kernel/modem back on, it's doing the same thing. Going to exchange it tomorrow.

last edit I swear: sprint corporate stores are open late for the holidays.. they swapped it out no questions asked, all is well now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boktai1000:
Sweet ROM! I was a previous user before the FroYo leak, but I am looking forward to a FroYo build! Keep up the good work, I am now currently using the ACS DK28 build!

Both LP or ADW have the option for 7 docks
[Epic 4G Android Development] SubnetMask:
I'm running the Standard Shuriken ROM posted in this thread and for the most part, I like it. I've found three problems since I've been using it, which may or may not be ROM related. One is in e-mail, any time I've tried to attach a file, the e-mail app FC's. Not really a huge deal, since I don't often attach things on my Epic, but it's there. Another, I noticed this weekend, is incoming SMS message timestamps are an hour ahead of actual time, outbound have normal timestamps, so messages aren't threaded properly. Yesterday, some SMS messages I sent/recieved where stamped correctly. I was away from my home area this weekend, but still in the same timezone. The third is my alarms aren't working properly. I had two alarms set up: one for weekend @ 8am, and one for weekdays at 6:30am. For some reason, the weekend alarm seems to work, but the weekday alarm doesn't. I tried deleting & re-creading it, and set it to go off every day, and same result: no alarm @ 6:30.

I started with a bone-stock, freshly Odin'd DI18 ROM, and installed the Shuriken ROM, and from there, installed my various apps and settings either from the Market or from apk files. The ONLY other thing I've done to it was installed a battery gauge "theme" that changed how the battery gauge displayed.

Has anyone seen these issues, and/or have any thoughts on a fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dizzybro:
Hey I need some help guys, love this mod. Been using it for a while. Somethin weird happens once in a while tho. Ill charge all night, when I wake up the led is blue, but I can't turn on my screen......have to take out the battery and restart phone.....any fix? This would be bad if it caused me to miss an alarm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Etrnlwanderer:
Ok, so I'm on DI18 unrooted and on stock Sprint but I'm so curious about trying out the SuperSlim Shuriken that I'm not going to wait on an official Froyo OTa and and just jump head first into this ROM. Just need to know if I have got all the steps correct as this is my first time at trying to load a custom ROM.

Downloaded and have Xtreme Kernel (xtreme_v1.2.0ov.zip) on SD card

Downloaded Shuriken SuperSlim 1.02 (syndicaterom-superslim-1.0.2-signed.zip) on SD card

Do I first flash the Xtreme Kernel in Clockwork recovery mode and then flash the SuperSlim ROM after 3 wipes?

Is there anything I have to tweak in the ov version of the Kernel (or should I go for the nv version of the Kernel) before flashing the SuperSlim ROM?

Sorry for the totally noob enquiry but I'd so love to have this ROM up and running on my Epic :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] skippytdi:
Some super noob questions, sorry.

This ROM is awesome by the way. First real smart phone i've owned, first root and first rom and this cleaned up the phone perfectly. Even bricked once (i don't think my root went as smooth as it should have) and got pretty close to poopin my pants!

First question. Is there some particular reason Adobe Reader is on this rom?. If it is just for PDF viewing, i have found Adobe operates way slower and with very poor pdf rendering compared to thinkfree office. I know i can just remove it but, like i said, maybe i am missing something.

Also, if i odin and reboot, can i reload user apps and system data or will that potentially reintroduce the "unique operating qualities" of my phone?

Thanks.

mike

Some advise for stupid issues.

@subnetmask - I have the same problem with email. If you need to attach something to your email just go to the file and share it via email. The program shouldn't crash if attached in this manner.

Also if your music player cuts out, (pauses the music,etc.) REMOVE the task killer. Manually kill tasks with super security and the task manager. Excellent battery life via this method. Love the way this thing eases down to 0% battery then still hangs for another 20 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] onesickvdub:
I just installed this ROM last night and I did all the proper steps of reseting to factory setting and clearing cache and everything seemed to be great. I set up my alarm and went to sleep.

I woke up and realized the alarm never went off. I have an alarm set every day for 7:00 AM, 7:15 AM, and 7:30 AM. NONE of the alarms went off. Why is this? I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer.

On the lockscreen it shows that the next alarm is Wednesday at 7:00 AM (half hour ago). Someone help, please!
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Truth, this guy knows it. That, or go into Contacts > Menu > Import/Export > Export to SD.

I hate everything about buggy Froyo. I can't wait for the final release.. then to see what you guys do with it. Syndicate + Pheonix is my all time favorite.. ran so amazing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Did you shut off the vibrate option for the alarm. With vibrate on the phone won't make a beep. I've done this a lot;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
Im thinking about going back to phoenix for kernel. Batt lasted alot longer, but the speed of this one is addicting. All my droid x friends get jealous watching my phone fly around with no scroll or transition stutter
[Epic 4G Android Development] jkeets:
NICE

This is the first ROM I've flashed. It's wicked. Thanks.

The SetCPU seems to have issues sometimes with the system clock.

Other than that, I'd say that the only thing I'd recommend is putting AllShare into the standard edition. DLNA seems like a basic function of this phone. It's the only thing that really should be put into the standard.

It seems that among all of the ROMs, 2.1 and 2.2, no matter what you try, this is probably the most stable one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T1Pimp:
I had the exact same issue. Home button stopped working on install, tried a reboot and it hung during reboot... I had to flash and start over.

[Epic 4G Android Development] xsxbluexsx:
Can anyone please explain to me the exact steps to installing the mod, i already used odin and put the modem with pda and a victory pit file.. then im on the recovery screen..
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1greek4u:
What I did was:

1) Odin factory DI18

2) One click root phone and flash Clockwork through rommanager.

3) Download ROM and transfer to SD card

4) Boot into CWM recover, wipe factory, cache, and dalvik cache 3x each (even though I probably didn't have to since I just ODINed the phone) and then went to "install zip file" from SD card. Select the ROM, install, and you're done
[Epic 4G Android Development] SubnetMask:
Yes, no vibrate. There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to it. SOmetimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tried a "test" tonight where I set the alarm and left it in "normal" mode, alarm went off. Repeated and then placed it in "silent" mode, still went off. I have no clue why it's sometimes not working (and I only have one alarm now, set to go off every day). And I'm not sleeping through it ;). I had it set for 8am to day and was up before that, but it never went off.:confused:

I just switched to the syndicate rom with the extreme kernal from the baked snacks rom which wasgood but this one is awesome the battery life is amazing.

Hey all,

Been running this ROM with the xtreme kernal. My question is what is the easiest way to get back to original? Do I just need to reflash the original kernal and my original clockwork backup? or do I have to usethe odin method. Or you think I should just wait for the offfical froyo if/when it gets here and then just flash one of the many 2.2 kernals that should surface quickly?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] BubbaGumprc:
New to the epic fourms but not new to android. Just got my epic the other day. Came from a droid eris which was overclocked to 800mhz and running froyo. And got this rom running on my epic and everthing is awesome and smoking fast. The only issue I have is why is wireless tether app not working?

[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Im on Quantum rom with Ext4 and still not as smooth as Syndicate!I doubt that there is any big difference between Quantum and Midnight roms.Bottom line is that Syndicate is still the best rom until we get Cyanogen and I bet that froyo Sydicate will give Cyanogen some competition.

Just imagine how Syndicate would perform on Ext4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] m5james:
I went for about 3 days, but I came back as well when I started getting random laggy issues myself. 2.2 had some cool perks, but I left a very lengthly reply on one of the threads about the things I didn't like. I'm just going to keep waiting for the real 2.2, then see what Syndicate does to make it even better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I too tried out the EXT4, quantum rom 2.5, then midnight. Couldnt get the GPS to work so now i'm going back to Syndicate again. So far i think it's the best ROM too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks everyone for your continued support! We're keeping our eyes on the current developments, and doing some cool things of our own, so stay tuned! Also, look for some BIG things from ACS soon!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eteocles:
I used Syndicate for awhile, but recently swapped to viperRom. Honestly froyo has tons off good stuff that I can't pass up. (App2sd, voice integration, many app updates, GPS does work). Not to mention viperRom currently bench marks the fastest of all roms and is definitely the most responsive rom I've used.

However if you stick with this rom you will be very pleased as well. Both devs deserve so much praising for these excellent roms.

Will be switching to Frozen Syndicate when it comes out though. If their 2.1 rom can complete with 2.2 roms I can only imagine how amazing it will be.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
I used Viper's rom,while its one of the best DK28 froyo roms its nowhere near Syndicate rom in terms of responsivness,speed,and lag.

I think no mater what devs do to DK28 its still gonna lag a bit and wont be smooth as 2.1 because they dont have 2.2 source to work with yet.We just gonna have to wait till next leak or official 2.2 release.

Can someone tell me why wireless tether don't work its comes stock on the fully loaded version and doesn't work for me. And I came from a eris and it worked fine there.

Quick question, how do you get wired tether to work? I have Windows 7
[Epic 4G Android Development] BubbaGumprc:
There is the stock wired tether app that comes with the fully themed rom I don't know about the other ones but just plug in your usb cable to the phone and your computor. Then go to the wired tether app and click start tether and your computor should reconize it automatically.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BubbaGumprc:
Figured out my wireless tether issue think its a windows 7 64 bit issue. Cause it connects to my linux partition on the same laptop. My roomates ipod touch and macbook pro also. But see here is the weird thing it connects to my home network fine.

I have no idea if you are still really monitoring this thread anymore with the emergence of so many Froyo roms, however I just flashed it today and all I get is the lock screen and then a bunch of FC pop ups. I downloaded the superslim. there is another popup under all the FCs that says the launcherpro has expired. any help would be great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Open superlsim with 7zip or winrar and replace launcher pro with newer version.If still get fc's than just flash different kernell(make sure ur not using DK28 kernel),fluff or Extreme kernels are the best for Syndicate might be more compatible kernels.

If all fails Odin to stock DI18,root,and then flash.Its most likely kernel and not launcher pro.

So I've been wanting to try this ROM forever, but never had much time.

I just rooted my phone, I had downloaded ROM Manager and was about to flash clockwork through it... I noticed it was 3.xxx, will this ROM be flashable through CWM 3.xxx?

I'm fairly new to the scene and can't seem to find a solid answer. I know there were some issues of not all roms supporting the new CWM

EDIT --- 2.5.x was installed when I did the one-click root and recovery, all looks well.... about to flash in a few minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jrab227:
Any reason why wifi tether doesn't work out of the box? Its attempts to auto update, then gives a storage error each time I try to install it. Happens every time I flash the ROM so I'm guessing its a ROM issue and not the app itself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
How do you guys deal with the constant and annoying sprint voicemail "force upgrade" message? Mine keeps hanging on "downloading..." and it never wants to go away.

Other than that, absolutely sick rom. I'm loving this one.

EDIT - It just took its sweet time downloading. Looks like the voicemail thing cleared itself up over a few hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
im a noob but i tried to update the tether as well and andended up just updateing everything else but the tether and it works fine (also i may be wrong but i think you uhave tu uninstall the old tether before installing the new one, cant just update it, again i could be wrong so someone yell at me if i am) my 2 cents prob worth 1.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] antpila33:
By the way i love this rom......its my back up everytime a froyo rom gets too frustrating. Its the best rom ive found for batt life and sweeeet 4g tethering.
