How's everyone's 3g performance? I flashed this rom yesterday and encountered a few issues.

1. Whenever I would try to access my settings menu, I would get FC.

I installed emotionless beast theme and that fixed it.

2. Samsung media hub would state that an update was required and it would point me to a non existant update in the market.

I found a thread with a fix for that issue.

3. My 3g speeds have dropped dramatically. Speed test results are consistently .02 mbps down and 1.5 mbps up

I have not found a resolution to this.

I have updated my PRL and my speeds increase but after about 20 minutes, they drop back down and stay at that low speed. Has anyone else had any issues with 3g?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Yes, most definitely. Browsing the web and data sync over 3G is significantly slower for me than it was with 2.1.

I'm also unable to access *some* of the wireless access points that I had no problems with before. I can connect to my Linksys router at home just fine, but I can no longer connect to my corporate Wifi at work.

Good times... thankfully this isn't the final build, hopefully these issues will be addressed...
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikesal57:
I guess your one of the lucky ones...:(

I can get stock working then get the dk28 modem on stock and working, then what ever froyo I put on...NO GPS

when i flash beta froyo or any other froyo...no gps also

pls help!!

love these roms
[Epic 4G Android Development] katanaram:
I had the exact same issue as you. Then I did the following steps and GPS is working like a charm with accuracy of 2-20m now. Hope this also works for you:

1) ODIN back to stock DI18

2) Once in stock DI18 settings, change GPS settings to cold start mode, then make sure you get a GPS lock twice with cold start settings in stock DI18 setup.

3) Flash the update.zip file for DK28

4) Check GPS and it should lock within 5 secs and an accuracy of anywhere from 2-20m.

Let me know if you got any questions and how it goes. Trust me it was really worth it after going through the above steps one-by-one patiently:)

Good luck....
[Epic 4G Android Development] icantdrawanime:
Is anyone else getting random reboots??
[Epic 4G Android Development] snovvman:
I was getting random reboot with DK17 for about one day. No longer with DK28. I was using a questionable battery so I was not sure of the cause.
[Epic 4G Android Development] logikgr:
Thank you for this!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
My gps is broken again with dk28.lol. I will do the flash dance. Btw...... Id it just me or did we just lose Gps magnetoc assistance option? It not under gps settings no more?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Any word why we dont have the option to turn off or on gps magnet assist?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikesal57:
thxs Kat....after a long run..i finally got it working

(dont ask me how..lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] katanaram:
Cool!!! Glad to hear that GPS works for you now on FROYO. Now enjoy FROYO until we get to gingerbread (by all means possible) :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
There'll still be a final Froyo release to enjoy first. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeOverTrance:
Super noob question, I am still running Shuriken due to not having my laptop and getting lazy, with the influx of new froyo ROMS I decided to let it stable out and then dive in. If I am still running Shuriken, will the install directions in OP work or is there more steps I need to prep my phone up before flashing this ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zeravla531:
Ok, i can't get WiFi tether to work with this ROM at all (pre 15), any suggestions?

Nevermind: Got it working
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The directions in the first post will work coming from any ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] logikgr:
I have been having 3G issues as well. Most notably, slow performance. Which causes radio (NPR, Pandora, etc.) apps to not work that well, causes me to get no sound after a few glitches, the app will show that it's playing, but I hear no sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Leon H:
Bad battery drain

It seems my phone is hemorrhaging battery on this rom.

I wiped and reflashed, but got the same battery life, so it's not any of my apps. As far as I can tell, the phone just won't sleep at all. Spare Parts says nothing is holding the wakelock really, and the Battery Usage betrays no secrets as to what is causing the drain.

I'll be flashing more DK28 roms to see if that helps any, but my battery life is suffering a lot. I have properly wiped the battery stats and did the 100-0-100 charge. I can't even get 12 hours out of it, even with no use the phone will die in 10 hours or so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Anybody else experiencing issues with the kswapd0 process hogging cpu?

Also, is there any way to keep the samsung processes (drm, etc.) at bay?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Give Autostarts a look. Our testers have not seen any CPU use issues with that process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sinner1168:
How did you get it to work?? I haven't had any luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dj21o:
I Odin'd a couple of days ago from the DK18, to the DK28. Now I can flash this rom with no problems? (I bricked the phone from flashing from the DK18 to the DK28.)

Odin does change the modem and everything else right? (Kinda new to this phone still:p)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbuggydroid:
yeah odin changes the modem and sets you up with acs stock froyo assuming you used the files in the first post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbuggydroid:
hey guys this may have already been asked, would be nice if there was a status update inthe first or second post about when we could expect a new version of this rom. i lived the slim version of Di18 and can't wait for that for froyo. i miss my emotionless beast theme. (i'm currently running truely epic rom) are you guys waiting for the official source from sammy? or official froyo release from sprint?
[Epic 4G Android Development] queman2010:
Can I flash this after I have already installed OTA Stock Froyo DK28 ROM?????? I need to have a Deodex Rom to install Gingerbread theme and Gingerbread Keyboard. Unless some one can tell me another way
[Epic 4G Android Development] bmoorelucas:
I am curious about this as well, my wireless tether app launches and thinks its making a network but no network to be found... :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] NYYFan325:
Wifi tether works fine for me, used it today as well...

Im using the newest one (RC1 I believe its called)
[Epic 4G Android Development] eater99999:
I'm having weird WiFi issues after flashing the new modem.

When I come out of Airplane mode, WiFi is off. I try to turn on WiFi on the WiFi Settings page. It says "Turning on..." for about two minutes and then says Error. If I tap it again at this point, it then turns on successfully.

After it's turned on, WiFi shuts itself off after about 20 minutes and I have to go through that process again.

I've tried re-flashing the modem and ROM a couple of times but it hasn't fixed it. I never had this problem before 2.2.

What to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] capitaltpt:
Anyplace to get the notification tones that were in the SyndicateROM release back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
And you rebooted the phone before reflashing? And as before your reflashed you did a triple wipe correct? Thats one I can not replicate
[Epic 4G Android Development] ramsestut:
Having same issue here, tried all the normal reload and wipe steps, but still turns off and says error again after about 20 minutes. You are not alone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Ok guys. New here and having trouble flashing for some reason. I went through odin fine and downloaded the 2nd link which I assume is the update. When I extract the file and drop it into my sd card it doesnt do anything in clockwork. am I missing something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] illizit:
I have this issue as we'll except sometimes the wifi last longer, about 5 or 6 hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] illizit:
Is there anyway to install the aosp email app on this rom? I always have to flash to another rom (such as quantum or viper) in order to install an aosp apk file. On the error logs it states "not compatible". Why would it not be compatible? Because of the file system? That is the only thing I can think of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] natesisco:
Problems. Please help.

I am a noob so please forgive me. I sucessfully installed the modem with ordin however, I ran clockwork on my phone. I went to where it says "Install Rom from SD", Wiped the cache and back up rom. Then the phone went into Samsung Recovery Utils. I clicked on apply sdcard: update.zip. I then received a message stating," E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boktai1000:
Just an FYI to anyone flashing this ROM, if you flash Stock DK28 (SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar) with ODIN, you will NOT need to flash the modem.tar as per the instructions. I checked the modem.bin and compared them between the .tar files, and the MD5 is exactly the same 823f98c09955abbef3b495b9e1b1bd5a (which means they are exactly the same files).

I used to always flash the modem just because I would follow the instructions word for word, but I guess I should have known better if I was coming straight from the stock source, the only time you would need to flash the modem is if you were coming from DI18 or something, even then I'd probably recommend flashing Stock DK28.

This ROM is excellent if you are looking for a vanilla DK28 experience that brings enhanced functionality and opens up a wide range of options, such as theming. My only complaint is with a lot of developers moving towards CWM3, this ROM is compatible with such. I also wish that this ROM had support for custom boot animations (bootanimation.zip), I think a modified Kernel would have to be included though, other ROMs such as BONSAI support such features, and it could probably be included while maintaining the vanilla DK28 feel.

Thank you for the great ROM, I thought I would just provide some feedback after using this ROM for an extended period of time now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If you used the latest One Click Root package, you have Clockwork.

[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
Great work ACS team. Worked like a charm -- One thing you might want to edit on OP is 1 + power to boot into download mode, a lot of people aren't 100% when it comes to ODIN. This is some good stuff, I really look forward to y'alls upcoming release.

Just a thought, I can already see this thread turning into a "Odin doesn't work!" fest. Did anyone ever create a thorough guide on how to use Odin along with an extensive list of all the things that could cause Odin not to work? If they did, might want to link it in the OP. If not I could try to create such a reference post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikel719:
Odined, then clock work flashed and just got to say,

THANK YOU! Your work is appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vessey632:

i want to flash this right now but i'm using Mobile AP to post this right now :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] insanity213:
Odin'ed the modem then flashed the rom right over Quantum 1.5 to see what would happen. So far the only FC I got was the stock mail app. I reflashed the Galaxy Tab modded mail client back over it and thats working again. No FC's out of anything else yet... I'm really surprised it worked at all without wiping.

take the batt out, put it back in and hold number "1" on the keyboard while powering on, that will put it back to download mode then proceed again with odin

Yes, try this first. If it continues to fail to work, ensure 'reset time' is off, and that you connect the USB after in Download Mode, not before.

Pull the battery for 2 minutes,go back into download mode,1 button + power button,redo Odin,this should work...I have seen that twice with all the flashing Ive done with Odin v1 - v1.06.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vessey632:
Thanks! Got it fixed finally. Bad USB cable. Flashed and up fine now. Woo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If it freezes there it's not going to happen. Disconnect the cable, close Odin, battery pull your phone, reboot the phone to download mode, open Odin, connect the cable, and try again. It may take a couple of tries, don't worry.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
I am having the same problem right now with SETUPCONNECTION lol. Im re-downloading the tar file cause I think it may have corrupted. DI18 flashed fine to get out of download mode. Gonna try the newly downloaded tar to see if it gets past SETUPCONNECTION
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
The Newly downloaded TAR file worked fine. no more Setupconnection errors
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Cool, good - it's usually a bad connection of some type that's resolved with the above method, but that can be an issue too.

Ill admit I didn't... I figured coming from dk17 I would wing it and tryto keep my data intact
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Do we need to redownload for the protected apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Like the first post says - and like our man rjmjr69 always does - wipe, wipe, wipe!

Nope, I just forgot to add the note when writing the original post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] id_twin:
Although I wouldn't suggest it, I didn't perform wipe coming from previous version (didn't want to have to setup apps/settings again). Everything seems to be so much more snappy, especially the screen rotation. GPS seems to be working well with this version. However, DK17's GPS seemed to partially work for me as well.

Good work again ACS, let the fun begin :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Just to be clear here, with either of these methods, you end up at the exact same place?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
So will this work if your still on 2.1 with a custom kernel (MixUp 10/24/2010) ?

also what about tethering? (NO ad-hoc) USB & wifi?

Therese no prerequisites in the op
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The TAR is not rooted or deodexed, and does not have the Nexus One signature to allow you to access protected apps. Otherwise, yes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes, it will work. Tethering, sorry, no such luck yet.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
I have no gps either mine was fine on stock. And freaking amazing on epic experience froyo. Maybe bad flash or a bug for us
[Epic 4G Android Development] mike40lm:
Absolute noob question.. but that's what i am...

I'm running complete stock DI18 and want to upgrade froyo with a root so I have the following questions...

-Should I update with the OTA?

I know how to do this, but I don't know if I'll be able to root afterward.

-If I should't apply the OTA, do I just install Clockwork and flash this ROM?

If so, I would appreciate a step-by-step if somebody wanted to point me to one.

Whew... post #1 down :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] digiblur:
Woohoo!! The first 2.2 ROM that works fine with RoamControl. Just like on 2.1 I can switch back and forth between roaming and not roaming and have 3G working on both sides.

I noticed they added a 1X and EVDO engineering screen to the ##DEBUG# dialer screen. I never saw those on 2.1. Missed being able to see that on my phone since I switched from the TP2.

Excellent job guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ogrillion:
If you have DI18 and its rooted, you flash the modem and pit via Odin, then you use clock work to flash the actual rom file like the first post says. Then you have a rooted phone.

If you go the OTA update your phone will not be rooted. However you can flash it back to DI18 with odin.

So if you want root access follow the directs on this first post and your good to go. Wish I knew how to get my gps working though hehehe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Correct, you do not need to install the OTA update to flash this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nyquil93:
thanks so much for this ACS!! I have a pretty noob question: do I have to flash the modem or is it fine if I just flash the rom through clockwork?

I flashed back to DI18 to test GPS. If that works I will root it with one click clock work root. Then flash the modem and pit for DK28 through odin, then flash through clock work (prior to flashing through clock work I will clear data, cache and davik cache 3x..

Missing anything here? I just don't get why some stuff works for some when we should all be running the same hardware.
