New Epic 4g - Rooted and Rommed

Hi, I just swapped out my Evo 4G to a Galaxy Epic 4G, I first was trying to figuring out how to updated to the latest mods but thanks to XDA developers i got it all working fast now. I first installed the Root one Click 3.0.0.5/6 and then i tried to install the Rom but it woulnt take it. So after reading much online, i figured i had to take it to Android 2.2 first to install one of the latest ROM's. si i did the Froyo 2.2 update and the I was able to Flash it using the One Click Root CWM3 Clockwork 3.0.0.6 and installed ViperROM Trinity 4.0.4 and now its running Fast and clean I also installed the Genocide 1.20Ghz EB13 Kernel V.0.2

I ran sum benchmark test and got:

16.561 mflops @ 5.06 sec Linpack

1773 on Quadrant

38.99 seconds on SQL

1315, 2948 on Smartbench

My Epic is Working great Thanks XDA-Dev. :cool:
[Epic 4G General] mis3:
Why is this a pain? Barely different than flashing a new Rom/Kernel:

1) CWM, make backup

2) Odin combo EB13/Root/CW (ext or RFS)

3) CWM, Flash EB13 Rom/kernel (required for ext4, optional for RFS)

4) CWM, restore data

I used Midnight 4.0 and Genocide 0.2a kernel. My homescreen, settings, apps, etc. all restored perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] lazyart:
Well, that's one way to do it... as long as it works for you. I was thisclose to flashing ViperROM but it was delayed by a couple days... so I put on Nebula and two days later EB13 was confirmed. So I'm sitting here, waiting for the EB13 based Nebula (or CM6.2).

Hey, someone else from Orlando... cool.
[Epic 4G General] nonzenze:
The fact that you put up with this nonsense is really astounding.

An upgrade should *never* destroy anything on the phone. The homescreen, settings, apps being as they were -- I take that as an absolute non-negotiable minimum, not some amazing contrivance.
[Droid X General] Coderedpl:
I just want to get an idea of what the general consensus is and what people use. I've heard some stories that if you use the Backup & Restore that you can enable/disable from within privacy settings that there might be some problems with the rom you're using acting up weird and stuff. Granted, it doesnt restore all your preferences and settings but it's not the end of the world for me to setup a few things by myself, and it automatically downloads the latest versions of the apps where as titanium backup restores the version you had installed?

What do you use, have used? Any experiences?
[Droid X General] DroidTh3ory:
I use AppMonster Pro... Backs up in the background as soon as any app is updated or installed. Plus it gives you the option to backup market links or the APK's... Great app.

:)
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I use titanium backup for my apps and mybackup pro for all my data. It gives me everything just the way it was
[Droid X General] blueis300:
I just use google as I dont have alot to back up and worry about losing at this point.
[Nook Color General] jlt220:
So I am considering buying the Nook Color for use with an Android ROM ideally honeycomb and Instead of having to sort through tons of threads I think a single one would be nice for those also thinking about jumping in.

Most of these will be in reference to android phones and relating the experience since that's all I have to go off.

I have a SGS Captivate

Battery life compared to phone?

Usability? Speed, what is working what isn't? Does it feel like a step back when coming from a high end smart phone?

Video? Sound? etc

I know these questions have been answered somewhere, but having a single thread dedicated to answering questions for users looking to jump in with the Nook Color hacking would be nice, IMHO.

Thanks for all the help.
[Nook Color General] jlt220:
Bump

Anyone who has done this how is it related to your android phone if you have one. I'm really interested in this but if it will feel like a step back from the phones i don't know if it's worth it?
[Nook Color General] DeadStiff:
I have a Droid X and the nook running CM7.

Right now the nook is very comparable to the X. With the beta rom it is still a little chopy but web browsing is so much better on the bigger and higher resolution screen. I don't boot up my computer as much for casual web browsing as much as I use to. It is nice being able to browse anywhere in my house(I'm writing this while cooking dinner) , or while watching TV.

Apps are still hit or miss on CM7 right now (Pandora doesn't work) and I'm not much of a gamer so I'll leave that to others.
[Nook Color General] jlt220:
Thanks so much I'm pretty excited to try this out. Hopefully it is as good as I think it can be. I know it won't be a xoom. But it should be sweet.
[Nook Color General] jcollierdavis:
I have an HTC Incredible which should be similarly performing to the Captivate.

The DINC has the worst battery life of any Android phone I've seen so that's not maybe the best comparison, but I use my nook several hours a day and manage several days between charges. I think battery life is impressive.

Out of the box, the speed is noticeably slower, but not that bad. Running an OC'd 1100mhz kernel I get a much higher quadrant score (around 1150) than my stock DINC. The NC's improvement is significant.

I haven't installed a different ROM since I'm waiting for a daily driver stable honeycomb. That beings said, I have absolutely zeros problems using my NC daily as a tablet. I find it much easier than the smaller screen on my phone. Nor have I encountered anything I wanted to do that didn't work almost perfectly.

Video is a bit more pixelated than I'd like but I haven't spent a lot of time looking into it. Sound is pretty good, and the built in speaker is better than expected. I have heard of issues with the headphone jack.

All in all it's a great investment of $250. You could get a more fully featured tablet for the price of three NC's. I don't think the additional features are worth the cost difference, especially when you add in the amazing work done by the xda Devs.

I used to spend a couple of hours every evening sitting at my desktop PC browsing the net and reading forums. In the couple of weeks since getting and rooting the NC, I think I've fired up my PC four times. Now I do my nightly surfing from the couch next to my wife while she watches TV and she feels much less neglected. ;-)

[Nook Color General] jlt220:
Thanks for the responses this is helpful

I'm planing on using this as an ebook reader some just because the screen size would be nicer than my phone, but also like you said web, stuff like that. Keep the personal experiences coming they are very helpful for us who are hesitant to join in.
[Nook Color General] dhoshman:
The nook is not perfect but its impossible to beat for the price. As other have said I fire up my computer far less than before. I have an evo and I would say that the NC feels as snappy and maybe even snappier. The thing I can tell you is that I was a for sure for the Xoom but the NC and all of its hacks help me to make the decision that I can wait. 100% happy with the Nook and I think most anyone else would be also.
[Nook Color General] Clienterror:
I also have a captivate since release day (and got the pleasure of gettint a new one in December due to random shutdowns) and I can say the battery life on the nook is way better than any sgs rom even the stock eclair. I also don't browse on my phone anywhere near as much as I used to. The nook color doesn't have the most features, the fastest cpu, or even the best screen but for the price it blows everything else away hands down. Honestly its one of the few "toys" I've gotten in a while that I haven't had an ounce of buyers remorse with :-)

I love my honeycomb. Its really fast and it has only minor issues. Mine is 100% reliable and i use it everyday and i only use my laptop for downloading roms and/or flashing sd cards. I have a rooted rom'd and oc'd droid 1 at 1300mhz and while i love my droid, i hardly use it anymore.

I really recommend it and emmc honeycomb is awesome. The lack of gps is the biggest thing for me, but o well... my rooted droid has one so its fine for me.

Hi,

I've noticed a strange problem with my phone and I'm just wondering if anyone else has the same problem.

This has happened twice now.

When my phone runs out of battery and turns off by itself and then I immediately plug it into a charger and try to boot the phone. It will go into a boot loop at the second loading screen.

I've recovered it by flashing via Odin.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks.

yes it is really sexy. Especially with the lapdock included...

but I prefer to wait iphone 5. I used to have iphone, not only i need bigger screen for browsing. But also can put in my pocket.

so I buy dell streaks. Im expecting the iphone 5 with 4.3" will enough for me instead of 4" which evry people were talking around

Apparently the screen size on the infuse is going to be 4.3 rather than the originally announced 4.5"... There was concerns they couldn't get enough 4.5" screens to meet demand. That's the story atleast. It's not really a huge difference though.

I am waiting for the iPhone 10 they say it will come with a file explorer and some kind of hyper-mega advance app that will allow me to download files from any website (without having to do any workaround or purchasing a downloader or ifiles),but in the meantime and after selling my iPhone 3GS 2 weeks ago I will keep enjoying my monster phone/tablet....on top of this the battery is lasting longer and I could afford to remove iTunes.

[Vibrant General] boobalooby:
I have gone through countless battery reconditions, following various methods, very tediously, various roms (nero, bionix, trigger, etc.) trying to get acceptable battery life. After a lot of detective work I finally pinned down the problem to the 'mediaserver' process within the system processes. It runs CONSTANTLY and drains the batter within half a day from a full charge. This problem has been documented on google code: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6765

The process cannot be killed via any task manager as it seems to be a sub-process. So I finally mustered the courage to move the file from its directory into the parent directory to see if that would do the trick and restarted.

Now I'm stuck on the boot screen.

Can someone please help find a solution for this issue? I think I can recover from the boot screen issue but I know I will just encounter the same issue again and again.

I am currently on the trigger 2.6.1.

Help?

I should also ask if it is possible to even ODIN back to stock with a ROM that has the voodoo fix enabled?
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
you can odin back
[Vibrant General] TheSneakerWhore:
ODIN back and re-flash...Honestly, the Vibe gets OK battery life (most smartphones eat power like a fat kid eats cake).

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sma11s101:
My nexus one has scored around 1050 in quadrant across a couple of ROMS. Is this unusual?

I have run it in both CM7 and Micromod's gingerbread. There are no extra apps running and no other modifications. The only thing that I can think of is that I have a fairly slow SD card which is very full.

Any suggestions on how I can improve this?

I too had lower scores (around 1200) when I moved my dalvik to SD (class4). Then I tried moving the dalvik to the cache partition and with succes. Now i'm getting around 1500-1600 scores with CM6.1 ROM and stock kernel.

Just odin back, root, flash a rom, freeze the app with titanium backup.

Edit, n/m, just realized you weren't talking about an app. I'll read the link you posted.

I'm on trigger 2.6.1, no issues here. You sure it's not a bad app man?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boobalooby:
As far as I can tell, no. It certainly could be but the I've been having battery issues since bionix 3 I think.

However I did read on that google link that certain media centric apps can cause it to go nuts. I am using the winamp beta app and youtube pretty heavily (although thats obviously unlikely to be the culprit).

I thought about freezing it but ya, its a sub process under the 'system processes'...process so I can't freeze it without taking down the whole thing and probably causing way more issues.

Thanks for the response though, appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Dude, winamp and youtube are going to use a lot of power.. How long is a full charge for you?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boobalooby:
About 8 hours. I pull it off the charger at 7:30am, use winamp for music for about 1 - 1.5 hours and other moderate use. Dead by the time I leave work at 5. Get home, charge it up until I hit the gym (usually get it to roughly 50%) and listen to music, watch a couple videos and its begging for the charger by the time I get home.

Furthermore, I use the system panel app to find out exactly what is eating CPU cycles. That 'mediaprocess' thing is exponentially above everything else. So either a bad app is causing it to run and keep it running or something else is triggering it. I formatted both SD Cards per some of the suggestions elsewhere, but no dice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
seems like your getting normal battery life.

heavy usage on your phone will eat up the battery. especially watching videos.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boobalooby:
So what do I make of the mediaserver process that is using up 40-50% of the battery? Watching videos, listening to music or not, I get the same results. I really don't think its that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbingham:
Are you sure you're completely killing the apps when you're not using them? Use the task manager and be sure the app is not running. Otherwise, be sure to freeze media hub and the DRM storage with TB. It should help with drain while the phone is on standby.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boobalooby:
Ya I'm sure. I don't even have mediahub installed on the phone however I am going to try freezing / removing the DRM storage thing.

Mediaserver constantly running is the reasons the battery drains. I didn't know if anyone has any solution as to how to kill it, or how to keep it from running continuously. This is a known bug as shown in the link in OP.

I'm guessing everytime I open up winamp or something it starts, then never stops after that. Who knows.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machinaut:
Hey guys (new user here),

I'm a linux kernel hacker, and i just got my first android phone this week (HTC Droid Incredible), and installed Cyanogenmod on it, but I want to customize it.

What I'm looking for is which rom to use for a fairly experienced linux kernel hacker that is just starting android development. The end goal is some pretty heavy kernel/OS modifications.

Cyanogenmod looks to be the most popular with users, but I can't find if it is the most

HTC's Developer Website has the vanilla kernels it looks like. I enjoy starting with a vanilla linux kernel, so would this be doable, or is the vanilla in a pretty much unusable state?

I'm open to other suggestions for ROMs. Looking for one with great support for starting developers (as opposed to user support).

A side question is what forums/wikis/sites are a good resource for developers in particular (other than this one) as opposed to just users.

Thanks,

~Alex
