Develop Bugs

[Q] Need some help....

Ok I have alot going on over here on my brothers Epic 4G. First off i rooted it and is running ACS SyndicateROM Twilight Zone 1.0.4 (Malanga) EB13 build, im pretty sure you guys know exactly which ROM thats is, but anyways, he is getting horrible battery life and I was going to try to put him back stock and see what the newest updates for the Epic would be. For some reason whatever I do to try to Odin it never works but thats another story. Basically what I want to know is what ROM out there that doesnt really have alot of bells and whistles and that has great battery life that I can load up? Since I cant seem to upgrade to EC05, I guess i have to stick with a EB13 build.
I also know kernels has alot to do with the battery life as well and right now its running kernel 2.6.32.9. IDK just by looking at the kernel you know if it has bad battery life or what. I am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see how that works out.
Sorry for all the noobish questions. I am very familiar with loading ROMS and kernels and Clockwork and all that since im a ROM tester for the Droid 1, and I know things are similiar but I do see their are some differences. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Go to Development section. There are several EC05 ROMs you can flash. Look at the EC05 ReRFS ROM.

Midnight Rom 5.2. It will link you to his homepage to download it, but you can flash it over EB13 and it will automatically update you to EC05. It's a very nice, fast and smooth rom. He has currently had to leave development right now for some family issues, but the rom is up to date and very nice. Check it out and hit me up if you have any more questions that I might be able to help you with.

So question, any ROM that you go to thats upgradable, for example me on EB13 and a ROM I want to flash thats EC05, it will automatically update it? Or is it just this ROM that does it or all of them?

Not all of them do. That one does for sure, and their might be a few others. Just be sure to read the OP in the thread for descriptions. He also has a EC05 modem package on his site with a YouTube video showing how to update the modem to EC05 if you just want the modem and not the rom. If you click the Autism banner in my signature it will take you to his site and then go to the Android Development section and he has tons of useful information on how to update and you can also download his roms there. You don't have to register or nothing on his site just click what you need.

Read the OP for the ROM. Some will update you and others tell you to Odin the EC05 modem after flashing. There is also an EC05 modem flashable update. All in the Developement section.

You can't oc on swisscheese, plus its a way outdate gb leak. I would go for the new eg22 build or one of the custom ef02 roms. Acs Bamboozled is a good gb rom to try if you want to oc.

Pick one in the themes/apps forum, download to SD card, boot into CWM and flash the zip file. (Generic instructions, but read the OP of the particular animation thread you are in for further directions.)
There are tons of videos in a single thread stickied at the top of the General forum. Check it out for info.

You need a custom kernel that supports bootanimation.zip format boot animations. I don't think you can use a custom kernel on Swiss cheese, so your outta luck there bud.

I don't believe any Gingerbread ROM supports the changing of boot animations.
Sorry.

ok thanks. so is it best to stay with 2.3.3 or upgrade to 2.3.4? if so how can i? Another question i have ran into a few of my apps dont work after updating to 2.3.3 should i just wait and let them fix themselves?

There is an EG22 update.zip in the Epic Development section you could use. 2.3.4 has a lot of fixes in it. If an app Force Closes try going into Settings>applications>manage applications>all click on the app and click clear data.

[Q] [q] update PRL on MTD based rom

I have looked across epic 4g Q n A, android dev, and general. But I can't find a true answer. Is it impossible to update PRL on MTD ROMs? Surely the Epic 4g community isn't the only crew in MTD land. With that theory other android communities must have figured this out already, right? What I can gather, PRL is flashable, but the only way you can get a PRL is from stock read:bml... Perhaps our friendly devs/rom builders should provide links to the latest PRL along with their MTD based rom. Someone please enlighten me

I am on Legendary 2.1 converted to MTD. My PRL updates just fine.

yes you can just not any CM7 flavored ROMs
go here for instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898628
go here for prl files https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=eabe29f3770d8d15&id=EABE29F3770D8D15!678
I just changed using Clean GB after doing a nan of my current cm7. Just make sure that ALL the drivers are installed before attempting. I even had to go into download mode to let those drivers install before qpst would recognize my phone.

Yes, because it is pure AOSP the necessary communication files are missing. If you pull Sprintandroidextensions or Sprint_app_updater out of a BML ROM it will not update either.

Can the sprint stuff be added to cm7 short of modding the rom?

So I could nan cm7 go to cleangb, update PRL and nan back to cm7 and still have current PRL?

Best AOSP Rom?

Hi, I am not new to rooting and custom ROMs but it has been a while and the forum has so many roms that it is hard to decide which is the most stable.
Would you guys please recommend to me the best/most stable/most customizable(cyanogen) AOSP rom for this phone? Basically I'd want the best CM9 rom and hopefully CM10 once its stable.
Thanks

I second that. CM9 Beta 1 has been very stable for me.

Interesting.. so thats in the original development section, whats the difference between original and android development?
Also, I'm a little lost on the whole recovery thing... can someone please explain it to me and how I can get the safe clockwork for my s2 so I can flash the CM9 you guys posted? My baseband is the FH13
Edit: What do you guys think about AOKP? I loved it when i had my evo... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514665
Can I follow the simple steps in that post? Any requirements beforehand?

I have not seen a consistent explanation about the difference between the Android and original development forums.
I have not tried AOKP. That particular version you linked is no longer being developed. There is a newer Jelly Bean build here:

1. I believe the difference between the to sections is that Original development is for AOSP based roms while android development is for roms based of stock or leaked firmware. That being said i dont think that many people understand that when they post and it has been kind of a Cluster f.
2. Are you currently on the OTA? you will need to odin a kernel that has a working recovery with it. If youre going to another rom right away it may be easiest to odin EL26 cwm, then load into recovery and flash because this will install the kernel/recovery packaged in the rom.
3. Ive used AOKP some and its pretty nice but i am one that likes to stay with a rom that still has activity. That way if i have problem there may be a chance that it is going to get fixed. But if you are ok with a few problems here and there go ahead and test out CM10 or sbrissens AOSP.

1. Yeah I was going towards that conclusion but I dont think people understand it either.
2. I already flashed CM9. I used the mobile odin method in this link: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
I flashed the kernel and I got stuck on recovery and couldnt get back to my regular rom. I was just wanting to get a recovery then I mounted the storage and put CM9 and gapps and flashed away. Now im running CM9 and its flawless.
3. Can you link me sbrissens AOSP? Thanks!
