2: Yeah, I'd like to see that too.

3: I kinda like the baked snack logo. You'll never forget what your running haha!

4: Maybe he'll make it flashable, since most like the circle instead, like myself.

5: WHATT?!?! I lovee the android beating the apple! lol.

[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Ah, it'd be a shame to lose a good dev like you. Your rom has been, and is, one of the best out currently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] oferico1:
Yes, I have been running it at 1.2 Ghz and loving it . Its so smooth and fassst I am grateful and appreciate it very much . I just don't understand since I am new to all this why make it overclock to 1.3 if it keeps crashing?

Thanks to everyone involved in this very time consuming work .. without you guys we would be stuck with boring slow phones :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
1.3 has never crashed for me once. that is why! except when i was a noob and was pumpin too many volts
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
yo hero can you make your kernel support custom boot animations so it will work with some of the other ROMs? You'd be a lot cooler if you did.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
what more do you need from a rom? for me to say "built from the ground up". i remember you as a snacker. this rom is sick as hell. trust

edit: not to be uncool. but im not gunna waste my time making versions for things i dont use. I already make a lot of versions for my rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] jtmercutio:
I may be sleep deprived.... but am I just not seeing where the link to 1.6 is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdotkumar:
this 1.6 release is madness. props hero!
[Epic 4G Android Development] brizzle1986:
Wheres the link to 1.6???
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdotkumar:
Post was put up at 3:00am so he's probably uploading still.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
It will be up in about 30-40. I have crappy internet. I am sleep deprived as well. Hope your ready for the go go gadget release

edit: oh and quick. tell me did anyone like the ringtone? im leaving it unless you liked it then ill do a new tune!
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
You talked me into it. I'll switch your ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jtmercutio:
lol if they like it, you'll do a new tune?

I am looking forward to trying this! Probably wont be awake in 30-40 though, Ha! Gives me something to look forward to while selling cell phones all day.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
Ok so the new tune is a go
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
You will not be disappointed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] oferico1:
Wow, Thank for the fast reply ! again, I don't know much when it comes to these things . can you tell me what you mean when you say Pumping too many volts.

I am sorry for asking a stupid question but I would like to know so I can run 1.3 without a glitch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
is herospecial.zip and ultimate.zip the same kernel? Which is the lowest lowest lowest voltage (best battery)??
[Epic 4G Android Development] SemiGamer:
He means when he was a noob to making kernels. He was pushing too many voltages to the CPU. You don't have to worry about any of that because you can't touch the voltages unless you modify the kernel itself.

Herospecial #2 and Ultimate may be the same kernel. Unless he pushed the kernel even lower in Ultimate compared to HS#2.

I'm one of the few people that're running HS#2 without any problems so if Ultimate is even lower than I might as well try it! Haha.

Judging by the steps he has, I'm thinking maybe Babysteps is the same kernel that was in 1.5.

Step 1 kernel may be HS#2. And Ultimate might be a update that we haven't seen yet. Hmm. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
hi

great rom you the man
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
ultimate is a little more then special #2

all the kernels will report better battery than 1.5 btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
I've got one of the lucky phones that can run it too. Awesome, ridiculous, crazy battery life. I watched 2 2-hour movies today and listened to pandora for about 1 hour straight on 3G at the hospital waiting room, and crazy web browsing, facebook/twitter posting, emailing.. and had about a 30 minute phone call. Had 5.5 hours screen-on time from 8AM-2PM today and had 30% battery left when I got home.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
Double post. We are live!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdotkumar:
hey hero compress using 7zip or something, it's faster/smaller
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
Yeah i could i just usually dont worry about zip size although it would help my upload time a tad. more worried about whats inside and not corrupting it with compression.

OK well I am off to sleep. Very long day for me and my epic. Gotta wake up at 7 tomorrow to paint a house to make some much needed money. Enjoy the ROM People. I know I am!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey Hero_Over,

I dont mean to correct you AT ALL, cuz im just a small guy, I mean nothing, but I was reading your totorial about creating a EXT4 partition on the sdcard and I notices where you say (now go to the option "mounts and storage"

now click on format sd-ext

select 512mb for the ext size) thats not where you create the partition, as that option formats the ext. size that you have yet to create, lol.. You have to go to the option " partition sd-card" first, then you select the ext. size of 512mb, then you select the " OM " in the next part if im right. Im sorry if I offended you, I just didnt want anyone like a "noobie" to this kinda stuff get confused there. I just LOVE your work, imma HUGE fan!!! As far as im concerned, YOU DA MAN!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
thanks a lot man. I definately need to fix that. Dont want the Noobies upset lol

oh and please leave comments tonight for me to read tomorrow. i wanna know how you guys like it
[Epic 4G Android Development] luvjones305:
wow

i don't know which kernel to start of with first an which one is the best out of all thats grreat on battery life
[Epic 4G Android Development] brizzle1986:
Awesome job hero_over! Using ultimate and runs perfect! Thank you! Much better than that branded "acs" crap flooding xda
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Would like to stick with rom but calendar apk is fc
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
Same problems, any reason why? Followed instructions down to the wire.

Also, is there a clear answer if the partition thing will work with the stock card?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
Music Player Disc View

I just wiped and flashed 1.6 and am loving it! One issue, I don't use the default music player, but I tried it to play around with Disc View and it FC's every time I tried to open Disc View.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blastboi:
Every time I try to install these (kernals) I get stuck at the samsung screen... Runing ee...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Very weird..using 1.6...my root explorer quit working...says it can't get root..I uninstalled and reinstalled...
[Epic 4G Android Development] cdudeman:
Same was happening to me. I installed the actual baked snack rom and tried the kernels and they all worked. Maybe the kernel is rom specific.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
can 1.6 be flashed over 1.5 without any wipes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
What do you man when you say acs crap?
[Epic 4G Android Development] OperationMove:
Is it recommended that the battery be calibrated if coming from ACS/any other Rom?? I will do it if so, but it seems like even after I calibrate it everytime it dosen't make a major difference. Perhaps cause I've always done it each time. LOL. Anyways, is it necessary for battery life to be optimal?

Edit: Also, we are all supposed to be in this together, for a common goal of making our phones better for ourselves. I'm not even a mod, yet I ask of you lets please attempt not to argue or call anyone elses work crap. Anything on here IMO has been better than stock. Unless it boot-loops. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] 1deviant:
silly question but I need to have Gtalk (talk or google im app)is it in this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Yes. Its in there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rj7766:
Quick question.... according to the directions for the A2SD install.... you partition the SD and then install the ROM.... the partition will wipe the SD meaning the ROM is gone correct?... So I would have to partition the SD restore my file to SD then go and flash the ROM?

Just wanted to make sure I understand

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] rmartinez2:
a2sd

How do I confirm that I've installed a2sd correctly. let me explain what i've done.

I want A2sd so i tried using 1.5 earlier but it was having that issue with the apps going away after reboot. My SD card had been partitioned already when i attempted to use 1.5.

I then flashed a different rom while waiting for 1.6 to come out. Now did i need to reformat my sd again? Shouldnt it have stayed partitioned already? I flashed 1.6, I ran the a2sd in terminal and it said it was installed but it also said a few other things like SWAP partition not found or something like that... Does that mean this didnt work ? how do i confirm or test?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
When you calibrate your battery, all your doing is deleting the batterystats.ini file on your data partition. When you reboot after that, the OS creates a new one in its place and starts the calibration process with new stats. If your flashing a new rom, you're supposed to wipe data anyway, which also wipes the batterystats file. As long as you have a full battery when you flash the ROM, and you don't restore your data with clockwork after, you can skip wiping batterystats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
So what is the best kernel to pair with this rom? I tried to used EE at one time with phoenix kernel and I would get complete shutdowns all the time.

This rom seems to have a ton of stuff in it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Has anyone got the a2sd to work? I had to use my PC to get it going, which is unreal by way, but am wondering if anyone was able to install it w/o use of a PC?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LoveisPeace2012:
Hero this is the sickest baddest tightest realist rom + kernel, now I can smoke a bowl in peace
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
version 1.6 log says added TW removel. anyone know fow to do that? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Installed 1.6 without apps to sd. Awesome job Hero. Can you post a comparison as far as voltages for all your kernels. I flashed Ultimate and I get lockups with anything that's CPU intensive at 1.3 GHz. I've never had that with any of your previous kernels on this Epic, so I'm assuming the voltage must be really low. Step2 seems to work fine, so my question is should I run step2 kernel at 1.3GHz, or should I run ultimate at 1.2 GHz? Performance seems about the same, but will ultimate at 1.2 save more power?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Instructions are in the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
got it, but it didnt work
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Really, the Battery stat wipe should happen when you have killed the phone completely and have just plugged it in to start the 8 hour (or more) charge. Wipe stats when you have NO juice and are beginning the first full charge. Also, the really improvement comes from when the phone is fully charged the first time, then you run it for 5 minutes, the turn it off and charge it until the blue LED light comes back on. Run it for another 5 minutes, turn it off and charge again until blue light. Do this 4 or 5 times. Use Juice defender and make sure DRM isn't running and you should see a massive increase in battery life. I did.

Also, use wifi (keep it on, not literally use it) ass much as possible when you are at home.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
That's an interesting question. You might want to try both and compare battery life vs. Linpack (or other benchmarkers) scores.
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
Every time I try to flash I'm getting and installation aborted error message saying it failed on line 58 system xbin any ideas why its telling me that? Thanks guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
So does this rom have a built in kernel or what? I also see on the first post there are like 3 different kernels you can do. I did not see a place to download those.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
The only thing I see missing from this ROM, besides Froyo (not being sarcastic here) is Mobile AP. Since Mobile AP does infrastructure (not ad hoc) tethering I can connect my work PC as it doesn't allow ad hoc by policy. My question is, does anyone know if a ROM like Baked Snack 1.6 can be odexed (apparently Mobile AP only works with odexed ROMS), or is the only solution to wait until Froyo comes out which I have been told does AP tethering out of the box.

Anyone know?

Edit: Huge win on the aps2sd. I hope that this can continue to exist in Froyo, as waiting for devs to make their app SD install compatible is annoying and this makes ALL aps install to SD as far as I can tell.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
I've always heard that u r supposed to wipe batt stats when battery is full...so which way is best?
[Epic 4G Android Development] OperationMove:
Apps2SD worked fine for me, all done from the phone. Someone mentioned they had to do it from a PC, IDK I did it just as instructed and it worked fine. Other than the fact if your SD didnt already have a partition then it may have wiped and you needed the pc to put the rom back on it :P. Anyways... working good so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Sounds like a bad download, I would redownload again and try to flash again with new DL. Hope it works cuz this here is ca-ray-zee!
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
That could be it...downloaded it from my phone.thnx for the reply
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
The 1st SD card I used would not install any apps so I had to use my PC to run ADB shell but then I test another SD card and it works right away w/o having to go to my PC, so Im guessing it had to do with the hardware.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Right now I get 30+ hours per battery. There should be no need for Juice Defender on any of Hero's ROM's, as they already have sweet battery life, and I'm not comfortable with an app turning my data connection on and off. DRM does not run because Autostarts takes care of that. The whole bump charging ritual is out because I find that the batteries charge better on an external charger. As far as wiping battery stats goes, I have always wiped them with a full battery as it states in many other threads on the subject. Same with flashing ROM's or using ODIN. You should always have a full battery. If you've ever had other Samsung phones that used the Samsung Software Updater, you might remember that it instructs you to have a fully charged battery before flashing the phone. This is because the new Batterystats.ini file is created on first boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Always when full.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Very informative. I hear ya.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Are you using the 16gb class 2 stock micro SD? I have a 8GB class 6 that I was considering using but I don't want to lose the space. I haven't installed this ROM yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
So is there any added bloatware that i wont be needing on this rom, like weather and news widgets,memo apps all over the place like epic experience and if so are they removable, im really thinking about switching over to yours just want to know if im able to delete added crap that i dont need?

Congrats on the release i might ry it considering it has good battery life overclocking and underclock and a2sd. Great work.

Edit 2 things i wish you would make removable adw launcher and spare parts, honestly im never going to use adw launcher, or spare parts, any way you can make these removable?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
So from reading the title is this the best rom on this site? Also does this rom have a kernel built in already? Also how can you selectt he different kernels shows on the first post.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScientificOne:
From the OP!

Kernel Options:

Babystep (included in rom)(good battery)

Step 2 (great battery)(may not work on all phones but definately worth a try!)

Ultimate (OUTRAGEOUS BATTERY)(may not work on all phones but worth a try if Step 2 works)

No Voodoo Version of babystep

And to use a different kernal, just flash via clockwork as you would any other zip....
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
troll + vent > actually i used BS 1.3 as it was the only thing stable on my phone for quite some time. i'm running syndicate right now but thinking of trying BS 1.6. that being said: people, READ the OP, as I scan through this thread almost ALL of the questions people are asking are answered in the OP. i know a lot of people on here are super helpful which is awesome, but most of your answers are already out there if you look. /vent

thanks for your work hero, seriously thinking about checking out the update

EDIT:

^exhibit A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stepchap:
Just installed without App2SD and the default kernal since ultimate wouldn't work. Seems to be running smoothly now and getting great benchmarks. Gonna test out the battery life throughout the day but from what i've seen it looks decent. Great work on the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twoeleven99:
Do I need setcpu to get great batt life or will just using one of the kernals do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Ok I found the new kernels and all a little further down. If I am coming from another rom, I guess I should just flash back to stock, charge the battery to full and flash the rom first and then flash one of the two kernels that do not come with it to see what works best. Do I need to calibrate my battery after I do this. I have been reading on here some say yes and some say no.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Here's what I do. Open up the zip for BS 1.6 ROM with WinRar or 7-Zip. go into the data folder and delete ADW Launcher and Spare Parts(I don't delete Spare Parts because I use it.) I also go into the system/app folder and delete email.apk and swype.apk because K-9 is just better and I don't like swype. Then I delete them from the BakedTheme.zip also, so they don't get reinstalled when I flash the theme.

After all that, just flash the ROM and the theme as instructed in the OP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I am wondering this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Calibrating the battery is always recommended if you're switching kernels.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeisRisen:
I don't agree about K9, the only advantage I notice is the ability to select text within an email. However, I lose the ability to just double tap an address and the option to bring it up in navigator or google maps. That is very important for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thsisinsanity:
All i can say is WOW. This rom is FAST. Best rom on the site. Unfortunately i must have one of the pickiest phones out there, because it only works with 1000 mhz on set cpu, any kernal or rom ive tried. Even the slightest undervolt causes freezes, but the stock kernal on this seems to be working GREAT!

Also, thanks for including TW! If the samsung clock could be added that would be great. Expect a donation your way! Best Epic rom so far!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] II5StarII Swag:
This rom with xtreme kernel is amazing for me...idk why but it seems I'm the only one felling the smoothness when i set xtreme to 1.6 even though it is really 1.2
[Epic 4G Android Development] plapczyn:
Different kernels have different default settings. You have to read the OP descriptions for each kernel. That said, you can POTENTIALLY improve the battery life of a kernel by modifying the CPU clock speed and/or stepping heuristic, or by creating profiles. Doing so works with a varying degree of success/stability depending on the kernel. The best thing to do ALWAYS wipe the battery stats upon flashing a new kernel. Use the search for finding on the process of flashing kernels. To evaluate a kernel, you should use it for a minimum of a few days and recharge cycles. This will give you enough time to get an average battery life for a kernel. I like juiceplotter (free in the markeplace). You will be able to get a decent feel for how the kernel reacts under normal use. Remember, that how use use your phone can significantly affect the battery life. The best way to improve your battery life is to stop dicking around with your phone. The screen typically uses the most battery life, with voice calls running second.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Well, 7 or 8 of those hours are the phone sitting on my nightstand while I'm asleep. When I'm at home I use WiFi which saves a great deal of battery life. Other than that, I use my phone all the time. In my car I'm connected to my car stereo via Bluetooth to listen to NHL games on Radiotime(great app by the way). Occasionally I use GPS(Google Nav). At work on lunch break(30 min) we watch youtube or listen to Pandora. Maybe 20-30 min of Angry Birds in the evening. I sync my gmail and use K-9 for another email account. LauncherPro Plus Facebook and twitter widgets sync once an hour. Tech-Buzz widget syncs once an hour. Beautiful Home weather widget syncs once an hour. Maybe 10-15 min of surfing ESPN and Google Reader. Now if I play Asphalt 5, my battery will take a hit and I'm sure I won't get anywhere near 30 hours, but thats OK cause I got 3 more batteries charged and waiting to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Cool thank you for the tip I'll look into that.

Sent from my awesome epic 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Would you recommend a flash back to stock and start from scratch. I have done it several times and it does not take long.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
That's definitely something to consider if you need those features, but the main reason I use K-9 is that it seems to push faster and it uses less battery from what I've experienced.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
K-9 Mail also handles multiple accounts more elegantly, and unlike the default Email app, doesn't store your passwords in plain text!
