@CompCrash -- This probably belongs in the general thread - recommend searching the forums as this is discussed widely. These entries may get dropped by a moderator.

I don't usually back up apps if you can get them from the Market. I use Appbrain. Once you login once it notices apps on your device and will "sync". You can surf their website for new apps and mark them for download there and later sync. Non-market apps you want to keep the .zip to install from clockwork recovery or the program .apk and place it in the /system/app folder. If you search the forums you can probably find most of the original .apk's.

Titanium is used and like by many, as well as MyBackup. I prefer the latter. I use it to backup settings on specific apps and all my "stuff" (call logs, sms, mms, bookmarks, etc). Don't use either to do app (.apk) backup, just MyBackup for settings.

I haven't ever found a Sprint Care or Repair specialist that is willing to assist with a rooted device. Maybe you can get lucky. I think your warranty is void when you root. Don't worry, you can restore to stock settings (unrooted) so it appears it never happened (see odin). It'd be very ineffective for Sprint to troubleshoot your device when there is *no telling* what you've done do it after rooting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CompCrash:
@Codest3r Thanks, you been very helpful. It just been I while since I have done any of this so I just want to make sure I do it right.

As far a your warranty, rooting the phone does not void it. I have been talking to the Sprint Reps at my local store and they actually enjoy talking about it. Also said they have had a lot of phones in that they have worked on that are rooted (hardware issues mostly they say).
[Epic 4G Android Development] ylwsub68:
I just flashed Superslim today with Xtreme Kernel and all I have to say is wowity wow wow wow. Battery life is a BEAST with this combo (my battery hasn't even gotten lukewarm), and it's snappy, REALLY attractive, and easy on the RAM. Kudos on all your hard work. I look forward to future updates. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] barakisbrown:
ACS Team,

Like someone else said that when your using your rom/kernel, you get serious dropout issues over BT A2DP. Wired headset sounds awesome but no BT stereo. I have not yet flashed another kernel to see if that could be the cause.
[Epic 4G Android Development] turb0rexx:
I've noticed the a2dp issues too. I lowered my max clock speed to 1200 and the dropouts is now less frequent. At 1600 it'll cut out every few secoonds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
Interesting... I'll give that a try. Maybe 1000 will work even better.

A usable workaround until they fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Still no fix for the pictures on the caller ID?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rafal2006:
Hey love this rom one thing do when in tunein radio trying connect cable to the radio on jobsite I can hear music on the phone to it seems like its not switchin or something
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
Does anyone else still have problems with music players with this ROM? They all just close on me after a while. Sometimes a few seconds, sometimes 10 or 15 songs. I've tried the one that it comes with (Fascinate?), Win Amp, Doubletwist and I think a couple others.

I've done the full wipes 3x and I tried reformatting the SD card and reloading the music (about 10Gb, that takes a while :rolleyes: ). I've had the issue with both Xtreme Kernel and Phoenix. Pandora seems to work great, so I think it's more SD card/file system related then anything with the audio handling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paiyne:
So has anyone gotten MobileAP to work with this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
This question had been asked and answered. Mobil ap only works on odexedd roms and this rom is de odexed
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
I am running the SyndicateROM and when I use Navigation it sometimes close right after I start it. Then I can start it up, it runs for a bit and then closes. Any ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still the same issue. Please help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xemantic:
Can you write step by step how you flashed Phoenix Kernel? I wanna flash it but don't wanna mess anything up
[Epic 4G Android Development] rafal2006:
The same problem with the headphones when listen to music I can hear on device and headphones any idea
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
+1

Is it as simple as just flashing the kernel like usual? I like me some phoenix kernel. Xtreme kernel is damn good, but it is kind of a battery hog in comparison.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I have figured out why Fast Web Installer isn't working. Google has disabled it in the most recent market update, 2.12.

This from Appbrain:

Sooooooo, anyway we can downgrade the market apk? Fast Web Installer is much more important to me than automatic updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
oooooh, you guys.... haha, no i just realized the default gmail icon which was updated in the ROM was not updated in the theme. i'm fine as i fixed mine myself, i like the one in the ROM much better. just figured i'd give you the heads up.

edit: sorry thats in the syndicate theme battery modded from the 2nd OP post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwallersv:
SOLVED: Update on BT dropouts

Credit to Turb0rexx -- this looks to be a timing issue of some sort.

The A2DP bluetooth dropouts can be eliminated completely by turning the clock down to ordinary levels when using A2DP. I also found that I had a very few, occasional but rare dropouts when I had a low minimum speed (400) through SetCPU.

I get perfect results just setting the CPU to min/max 1000/1200.

I'm guessing what's going on here is that when OCd something that was perfectly tuned at stock design for processing buffers is running ahead of another part of the processing chain and leaving the downstream components no data to work on. Probably doesn't use any handshake or anything -- just processes a stream and passes it on to the next component in the filter graph, to with the speed turned up, it's overrunning the next component in the chain.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it :-)

Anyway, the workaround is simple: Adjust CPU clock with SetCPU before using the phone to listen to media over BT A2DP.

If ACS can fix this, that would be great, however I have a bad feeling this is deep in the implementation of multiple pieces of the audio processing chain, were all tuned and balanced to work well at designed processor speeds, and fixing this for the OC speeds will require changes in a lot of places, and then experimenation to constantly "turn knobs" across different S/W components (user space apps, drivers, etc.) to get it to work right.

If my supicions are correct, this was poorly architected software, but it wouldn't be the first time :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
1. Put the Phoenix Kernel zip on your SD card. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811030) I recommend the one that allows custom boot up as this will retain the SyndicateROM boot up animations.

2. Reboot into Clockwork Recovery.

3. Go to Install zip from SD card

4. Choose Phoenix Kernel Zip from SD card

5. Flash

6. Reboot

7. Calibrate Battery

Edit: I should mention I had issues with Phoenix Kernel on Syndicate. Lots of Force Closes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Ok, so its the normal kernel flashing procedure. I assume you are using phoenix 1.49. Are the force closes part of the problems people have been reporting with that kernel? Last phoenix kernel I used was 1.43 which was near flawless. Have you tried that one with syndicate rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
How about the pulldown? I flashed a stock framework-res.apk and the pulldown is still themed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
I only used Phoenix briefly and had issues so I flashed back to Syndicate ROM + Xtreme Kernel + Emotionless Beast. There seems to be mixed reports on 1.49. To me, it didn't run as smooth as Syndicate + Extreme, so I'll stick with the ACS guys. For the brief time I had it, I didn't think it was a significant difference in battery life. Just calibrating the battery for Syndicate, I only lose 1% an hour with the phone idle and I'm cool with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
DEVs -I have seen at least one other person state they have this issue but no dev response.

Using AppBrain with the fast web installer does not work with this kernel. Worked on before on EE. It says it is sending to the phone but the phone never gets it.

Can you guys please add this to the bug list and maybe look into it when you get around to it?

Thx!

I would suggest wiping the caches 3x before flashing anything with clockwork. Less chance of unexplained errors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xemantic:
What version of Phoenix did you use? I'm lookin to try 1.43.

On a sidenote I noticed a bug with XTreme rom, when pattern lock screen is enabled, if you hit the "EMERGENCY CALL" button the phone freezes and I have to pull the battery out
[Epic 4G Android Development] vikings1928:
for some reason everytime i try to flash this i get an error. i am having trouble flashing the kernel and the rom and every other rom. i boot into the recovery and i always get an error. i even tried using clockwork. can any one try to help me. i have already searched i think everywhere
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
1.0.1 coming soon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] krymzon40:
I'm getting awesome quadrant scores when I don't restore data. But the UI is pretty slow in LauncherPro and when scrolling in some apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Ahhhhhhhhhhh......nice job guys......been waiting for your work as a team....will flash tomorrow......movie night tonight....will post back results.....

Just an fyi I have been reading through this thread and have seen issues in numerous threads for other roms.....where the rom I flash runs fine and others have issues......I believe the culprit is Titanium or restore via CW.......I use Mybackup pro and have never had any issues....
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
Does "Vibrant TouchWiz 3.0" support Kies?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I haven't tested it myself, but yes, it should work fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
Really? I have never liked the circle battery mod I much prefer the regular battery with the percentage in it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
Installed the loaded version along with the 1.1.2 xtreme kernel and I'm lovin it, blazing fast and responsive...I'm having one minor problem though, I can't download any mms messages, any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Are you on WiFi? This is a universal problem across Sprint. The only fix is to turn WiFi off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
"Installed the loaded version along with the 1.1.2 xtreme kernel" where is this 1.1.2 kernel? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
1.1.2 is far from out. I think he meant 1.0.1. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sh0wNuF:
That would be the problem, turned wifi off and they downloaded fine...thanks for the info and the amazing rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
You're welcome! :) Be on the lookout for 1.0.1 soon! Just working out the bugs in Superslim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey, can we get a link to a zip file for the wallpaper please? Because once you install your theme, the wicked wallpaper is gone/overwritten... Not that I dont like the new wallpaper that its replaced with...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
Q: if i have the extreme kernel and epic experiance rom, do i need to factory hard reset before i flash this rom, or an odin is better? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I assume you mean the 3D Syndicate logo? Grab it here.

EDIT:

Just a couple of factory resets should be fine. I do recommend waiting, though, as 1.0.1 should be out in an hour or so, and among several fixes, it will have Xtreme Kernel 1.0.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
So is this the kernel with the 1.6 ghz everybodys talking about. Thats super fast? Oh I'm loading now to try it out, reading the first page sound like its BANGIN. Like its go be the top ****! At 70% now, I'll post later
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
got it, i allready have the extreme kernel installed and im colaberating the battery now. would i need to collaberate again, or not? thanks for your response
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Nope, once you have it calibrated the first time with Xtreme Kernel you should be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
I see there's a link to a theme in the first post - are there any pics of it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
This is that rom EVERYONE is talking about.... Enjoy and keep an eye out for an upcoming update! our Chef never RESTS he makes the Energizer Bunny look like it runs on dollar store battery's!!!!

Go ACSyndicate

Everyone one of our very important Syndicate members cquinerly's Dad is not doing well health wise and I would just like you all to keep him in your prayers and thoughts as well as for her she is a pivotal part of our operation and she needs our support
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Be more specific please. Every time you try to flash syndicate rom? Are you flashing a different kernel? Theme?

"You even tried to use clockwork" What are you using instead? ROM Manager? You should be flashing everything directly from clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] petrafan007:
stupid question...

How do I install the addons? I was able to install the rom on the wiki instructions but I couldn't find any instructions for the addons...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xhyperion:
if they are apks you just open them and then select application...if they are zips install them the same way you installed the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
Sadly Google disabled Fast Web Installer in their newest update of the Market. We would need to downgrade to an earlier market to get it back it looks like.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Really? Hrm I had no idea. Lame
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes, it's unfortunate, but AppBrain should be aware of this and will probably update soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vikings1928:
Every time i try to flash syndicate i get errors and when i try to flash xtreme kernel i get errors. i have tried them all using clockwork and i still get errors.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
After a day of testing (after batt calibration) I was able to get 12 hrs of heavy use With Phoenix 1.43 (setcpu at 1000 - 100 conservative)

Here is my break down.....

1hr of angry birds

5 hrs of talk time

4 hrs slingbox streaming (4G)

1 hr web surfing (4G)

about 300 text msgs.

Down to 3%, just finished putting it to charge. Thats the best batt life i've had on any rom / kernel combo especially without turning airplane mode on while in the subway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] reddragon29a:
I had issues flashing Syndicate too. I originally downloaded the files from my Epic and tried to flash from CWM. I was getting a symlink error during install that killed my current install of Froyo. I couldn't boot back to Froyo.

I redownloaded the Syndicate ROM from a computer and copied the file to my SD card. CWM was able to install the ROM this time.

I think I had a corrupted download the first time.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
If you want to be 100% sure it works, start at the beginning.

Flash to stock using odin.

Download fresh syndicate files to your pc.

Backup and format you SD card.

Put your newly downloaded syndicate zip on the card.

Use the one click root. (I think this installs clockwork now, been a long time since I flashed to stock)

Load up clockwork

Wipe the cache 3x!

Wipe the dev cache (under advanced) 3x!

Flash the rom.

Boot.

You should be running fine now.

If you want a different kernel or theme make sure you boot at least 1 time before flashing. (Unless using the super slim version - I dont think that comes with a kernel)

If you follow these steps, without any shortcuts, I can almost guarantee success.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Thanx,this is the best rom on here this is just as good as cm6,ya thought of everything when making this rom,i just request that in next update ya keep making barebones version.Thanx again,cant wait to see what ya can do with 2.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
If that is accurate then that is effing ridiculous battery life. To call you a heavy user would be a complete understatement. Of the 12 hours of battery life you were using it for 11 + the time it takes for 300 text messages with 6 hours of screen on time? That is easily the best battery life I have seen or even heard about for the Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xemantic:
And you're not getting any force closes? Everything smooth?
[Epic 4G Android Development] atavarius:
Odin-ed back to stock. Formatted SD. Wiped everything 3 times. Still get acore FCs with superslim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
During any specific activities? Did you redownload the ROM before running that process?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
just wanted to add,

I just flashed this fully loaded

so far so good. running strong at 1.6

put some profiles active for safety measures.

AS ALWAYS WIPED THE HELL OUT OF ****

no problems

pretty fast
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
1.6 benchmarks faster, but for now in real world use is, it is actually slower than 1.2.. read some in the kernls thread fo more info.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darchevo:
I love this rom. Only probblem is tthat I want stock lockscreen back. I bought my epic yesterday so I'm ued to stock. Can anyone provide me with a .zip of stock lockscreen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
You can find this in the Epic Experience thread under add-ons and patches.

http://schizopunk.com/EpicExperience/rom_directory/addons_and_patches/signed_TouchWizLock.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsperko:
I have re-enabled the stock screen lock, it is enabled by simply touching a file. I don't remember which file but there are several posts describing it in this thread. A quick search will describe it.

I realize we are naturally going to hear about more problems than successes in this thread, but I want to say this rom has installed and worked perfectly for me. Rock solid.

Thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
not a single force close. I think Phoenix 1.43 and syndicate 1.0.2 might be the correct match, I still need more time for testing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
You don't have to flash it, just do this
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I wanted to add that I am also using "startup auditor" to kill DRM and almost all startup services (except the system ones since it wont let me).

In addition, I have also disabled background data, auto sync, roaming, gps, location, audible touch tones, audible selection, haptic feedback, and sd card notifications. I only use gmail so I go in and sync it manually.

The fact that I use 4g instead of 3g may help because sometimes I notice that my phone gets stuck in a 3g loop (I'm guessing its trying too hard to hold on to that signal, even though I have a tower 1 block away from my location). I use an app called DcSwitch+ which disables 3g data.

Screen brightness is on manual, and its as far down as it can go. ( found out by mistake that you can change the brightness by placing your finger on the notification bar and sliding your fingers from right to left or vice versa, Pretty cool!)

Forgot to mention that out of those 5 hrs talk time, about 3 of them was via bluetooth (until my headset died lol).

Overall I think Its pretty good. Some may say that it sucks to have to turn all those features and services off but I am pretty happy with the results, half of those features I dont even use. I have played around with Juice Defender + ultimate juice but have not obtained any solid benefits, so i'll do without for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ylwsub68:
I seem to be having trouble connecting my phone to a Mac for USB mass storage. 1) I plug it in and it doesn't appear as a drive on my Mac, 2) I'll plug it in and it won't give me the choice screen, 3) I'll unplug it and I'll have a notification to turn off USB storage, 4) that notification doesn't do anything when you click on it while unplugged.

I don't know of any wireless way to transfer files from my phone to the computer (Bluetooth was a bust), and this is for work, so a quick reply would be ideal.

Wireless Tether on 4g

Sorry fellows, I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the 100+ pages of post on this thread but I cannot seem to find the answer to why I am only getting 3g speeds on wireless tether when I have 4g turned on. I have full 4g signal and data on the device is blazing fast, however when turning on wireless tether with 4g turned on I am only getting 3g speeds on any wifi device i hook up to. Am I missing something? Any assistance is greatly appreciated...

Thanks!

Rooted with Syndicate ROM with Xtreme Kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Is it a newer generation Mac? If so, then you have to connect it thru a powered USB Hub also, you might also need to reboot the phone while plugged in to the computer
[Epic 4G Android Development] ylwsub68:
Oh, forgot to mention this hasn't been an issue until I installed this rom. I'm using the same Mac (intel-based) and it used to work for mass storage, but after I installed Syn, it's been having all the problems I mentioned before.

I tried rebooting it while connected and the Mac saw the phone as a drive, then I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if it would still work, which it did. I hope I won't have to reboot my phone every time I want to transfer a file from my phone.

Any suggestions for easy wireless transfer from phone to computer? I know Awesome Drop does it from PC to phone (and works amazingly I might add, and over the internet). Are there any apps that do the same thing but in reverse?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I believe with the wired and wireless tether it does not support 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
I noticed when I have USB Debugging on, then I have to reboot the phone every time, but if I have it off, then I do not have to reboot the phone.

As for wireless transfer from Phone-Computer, Astro has a SMB server, you might want to try it. I haven't tried it so I don't know how well it works
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
I have not tested it with this rom, but i have used Wireless tether with 4g successfully before

I will say though to the original question asker: I have heard that the mobileAP will get you better tether speeds over the ad hoc wireless tether apps. havn't done any testing since i am no on stock rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darchevo:
Thanks abunch
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I have never been able to get 4g speeds with wireless or wired tether. The mobileAP you have to be stock to use I believe.

Dropbox would be your savior

ylwsub68,

Install dropbox from the market. Then install drop box onto you Mac (you will have to create an account).

http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=mac

This would be temporary of course until you can figure out why this rom doesn't allow you to tether or mount usb. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
The only way I have been able to obtain full 4g speeds on wireless tether is by using multiple tcp connections at once. If I download a file from the we, I get about 1mbps but if I download the same file using a download accelerator (10 connections), I get 10mbps. Wired tether works fine as well as easy tether.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atavarius:
Yes, completely fresh download. It always happens within the first few minutes after the flash. I usually enable the wifi, then login to my google acct to sync contacts. I can't do anything at work right now, but when I get home I will get you a logcat of the crashes..
