Ok, more than fairly new to android. Ive ran on windows, windows mobile and blackberry for a very long time. Finally decided Android seemed like the hot ticket (cus f*** apple) and im trying to get into this stuff.
Im a geek whose been de-geeked (haven't spent much time on the computer in the last 8-12 months, comps currently unplugged and still packed after a move, currently at a library to post this.... you get my point), and so im limping into the android world. I bought and love my epic, but I didnt buy it to run it stock so im looking to upgrade. Things I really want in a rom/want my epic to do (i understand if not ALL are possible):
-Full Flash (10.1?)
-Preferred Froyo base
-I dont mind the look/feel of the stock Shell, but Ive never experienced any others so I guess Im open to suggestions and testing them out.
-For some reason, my images don't load in full quality, Ive been told some ROMs fix this. id like it fixed.
... My list is surprisingly shorter than I initially thought it would be when I started this post... so I may edit it soon as I remember other important things.
P.S. Ive done some searching around, don't flame me. It seems hard (extremely hard) to look at each one ROM individually, see its features and what is has to offer, compare and contrast and then pick one. Ive seen a few lists with random ones compared, but no list of all of them (I imagine that would be very hard to keep up to date). It seems more like, when someone makes a ROM they say what it is, what it does, what is has and if you miss the bandwagon then you miss it completely.
Thank you for all recommendations
I like bonsai rom on froyo. Its fast and very stable. It also has swap enabled. If you wanted to go to this froyo rom for flash support then you have to upgrade cause your on eclair now. The easiest way to get to this rom is to go into the dev. Section and find the one click root plus clockwork version 3. Not 2.5.5 but version 3. But before you do that you need use a program called Odin to flash your modem from di18 eclair to dk28 froyo. Then once you boot into cwm it will change your filesystem over from rfs to ext4 and then you flash the bonsai rom and your done. Sorry I don't have links for you I'm using tapatalk and its a pain in the ass to post links but go to the dev section and look its all in there. Good luck

I've tried a few different roms but so far I like ViperRom's frozen 4.0.3 the best. It has flash and is very very stable. Its based on dk28 and the step by step instructions are a breeze on their thread. It uses cwm 2.5 and everything is available on their thread.

Thank you guys for the responces, ill check them both out when I get to a real computer. Odin sounds like fun ;D sorry it took me so long just to check up on my own thread, life is... life.

One thing I've had aa question on for a while...do you HAVE to do the odin method? It ddoesn't really affect me anymore, but I installed 2.2 through an update.zip
I was wondering if there are any differences.

No there isnt, i updated via updatezip both 2.2 and the modem, i first flashed the modem, then tried to flash 2.2 but i had to flash the d118 stock rom unrooted then it updated and then i was able to ext my system then get on bonsai.
Since ive had my epic, ive avoided odin all together..
This is a guide I’ve put together from my (in)experience with flashing ACS. It mainly comes from the replies of k0nane and theimpaler747 in the SyndicateROM thread. However, since there’s so many pages that can be tricky to search for idiots like me who just throw up random posts for others to solve their problems, I thought it would be good to summarize it along with anything I happened to notice from flashing a couple of Epics. Consider it the FIBI guide.
Step 1: Read all posts by k0nane on page 1 of the SyndicateROM thread before doing a damn thing! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
Instructions for CWM are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
Useful hotkeys:
Download mode - Hold down 1 on the keyboard when you power on the phone
Recovery mode - Hold Volume down+camera+power to power on the phone
Reset phone - Hold volume up+camera+power. This generally works when the phone is completely locked up.
Flashing:
When going between versions of ACS, check their notes to see if you need to do anything other than flash. You can go between some versions without wiping or losing anything. You can also flash between standard and fully loaded without wiping or losing anything.
Sdcard doesn’t mount in CWM, but shows up in Android - Format the sdcard in Android.
Boot hangs on the Samsung screen – Redownload, format your SD card and reflash
Boot screen flashed between different things – Wipe cache & data 3x and reflash
Journaling:
Enable journaling – In CWM, go to backup and restore. Backup, then restore using that backup. Journaling enabled!
Make it so you don’t need journaling – Keep a copy of the ROM on your phone at all times. Should you ever have data corruption, jump into CWM and flash the ROM again. It’s quick, no wipes needed.
If you restore a backup made in CWM and want to have non-journaled again – Flash the ROM after restoring.
Other issues:
FC in a specific app – Go into manage applications and clear data for that app
FC in several apps – In CWM > Advanced, try fixing permissions. Can also clear caches, and if that doesn’t work, reflash the ROM.
If you have any major issues that seem unresolved, Odin everything back to stock with EB13, format your sdcard in android, re-download everything, re-install CWM, re-read all of k0nane’s posts on page 1 and try again.
If you want ads back – Install adfree from market and hit revert
If your phone is freezing often - Flash either the vision kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136 or the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12504067&postcount=5904. I haven't had the freezing issues, but I'd recommend trying the vision kernel first as it has some other potential benefits.
Recommended tweaks and add ons:
Fugutweaks – This will smooth out a few random things on the phone. I’ve noticed more responsiveness on the lock screen and icons on my homescreen. Small, but nice. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981125
Impaled Keyboard – Makes the keyboard less likely to skip keys. Still have some, but they’ve gone down a lot. I use the Speed Demon Edition, still had a fair amount of dropped keys with standard one. Install the ZIP in CWM, file can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025533&page=18
SetCPU – Handles scaling the CPU and overclocking. Use ondemand setting for smooth performance. If you have issues when the phone is idle or it doesn’t wake up properly, set minimum CPU to 200Mhz. Free for XDA members, APK can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419
Battery Calibration – If you want to calibrate your battery without going into CWM, grab the app from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867. It’s now available from the Android Market.
Vision Kernel – Pretty much Twilight + gives you 1.4Ghz and Voodoo colour which improves balance when brightness is at 100%. Flash in CWM, wipe dalvik. Kernel can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012136
And a final note that I'm now about 10 hours into testing... if you are using fully loaded and want better battery life, really try standard. It very easy to switch, it flashes over fully loaded with no wipes or data loss, the only thing you lose is that it resets your homescreens. But really, this is day 1 of it for me and 10 hours in I'm at 62% battery remaining. Usually by this time I'd be around 20%.
Great info! I recently installed the newest SyndicateROM 1.1.0 on my Epic and the only trouble I had was with the included Twilight 1.1.0 kernel. My phone kept freezing and I would have to pull the battery to reboot.
This is an issue that has been documented with the ROM and is said to be caused by the kernel and its adjustments to voltage and overclocking, not all phones handle this well.
To fix the issue I flashed the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel, as suggested by k0nane, and I am about a day into testing without any freezing issues. The only problem is that the Twilight 1.0.4 kernel has a known issue with video recording and it does not work.
Let me say that the performance increase from installing SyndicateROM and ext4 are well worth the trouble.
Have you tried the vision kernel? That might fix your freezing without breaking video recording.
is your brightness at 100%??? what was the difference between standard and fully loaded again??

What does the brightness have to do with anything? And for the differences, here's from the SyndicateROM thread:
k0nane said:
SyndicateROM Standard includes LauncherPro. All Samsung and Sprint bloatware are completely gone!
SyndicateROM Fully Loaded - the choice of ACS team lead rjmjr69 - features TouchWiz instead of LauncherPro, and adds in Social Network Sync, Facebook, BuddiesNow, Program Monitor, and the stock live wallpapers. All the rest of the bloat is still gone!

The brightness for battery life.
No, brightness is not at 100%. I generally use 0-25%, though I'll kick it to 100% when viewing photos or when I'm outside. Even with the lower brightness setting, I'd always have to recharge in the afternoon. I'm still doing a lot of testing for ways of having the battery last longer, today is longest it's ever gone for. I'll be adding more information when I feel like I've got a solid way of having it all setup.
OP, could you add the freezes and "terrible battery life" solutions? Namely, flash the kernel in the second post or VisionKernel. It's the most annoying one to answer multiple times daily.
Thanks much for this! Hopefully people read it.
I want to get the battery situation on my phone sorted out before adding it to the list. I was having pretty bad battery life, but switching to standard and removing gallery has made my phone last all day for the first time ever. I want to do some experiments between setcpu options, juicedefender and the vision kernel to see what works best. Hopefully by this weekend I'll have a more detailed idea as to how to get better battery life.
But for now, anyone having battery issues my current setup is using ACS standard and replacing gallery with quickpic. This has doubled my battery life.
Hey wassup everyone, first time writer long time viewer, and first let me say thanks to all the great people that have provided us with great roms for the epic and the syndicate team as well, Im currently using a Epic 4G with sindicate rom freeze 1.1.0 and i must say its awesome, aside from my battery dying really quickly when im runing it at 1.3ghz its actually great, usually i end up operatig it at 800mhz to actually save some battery life last me for 3 days at a time, and when i have it pluged in or show off my awesome epic i raise it back upto 1.3ghz, big difference cuz when i raise it up there my battery drains rather quickly like 3 percent a minute or so.....
well anyways now that, thats says, I have CWM 3..0.5 with syndicaterom twilight 1.1.0 and ive been sucessful at loading custom boot animation, but one thing is that im having trouble is loading the animation with sound? any idea onhow i can od that?, what are the steps, cuz so far ive been using root explorer to transfer and change bootanimation to load up on my screen, but i have no idea where to put the sound or how to even get it to load with the bootanimation any one have any ideas? please help, i do all his trought my phone, put the bootanimation on my sd and work from there and trasfer it to the system/media, most bootanimation that do have sound on them say to put it on the system/custimization/resources but i look every where and the syndicate rom doesnt have that archieve just the system/media, how can i load the sound into my boot? and how can i change the power off animation as wll?
Maybe someone should make a wiki "Trouble shooting guide" formatted like the ones found in the back pages of user manuals..

Just tested Vision kernel 1.1 and ran into countless issues. My phone would not open camera, gallery, or music apps. And after that debacle I didnt even bother to find out if any other apps were misbehaving.
The first sign of trouble came when I installed a fresh version of SyndicateROM 1.1.0 and then flashed Vision kernel 1.1. The phone booted-up fine but when I went to shut down it immediately froze and I had to pull the battery.
Im going to stay on Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for a while until I find something else.
I have tested Twilight 1.0.4 kernel for about a day or two and have not had any problems so far. I even overclocked with SetCPU to 1.2GHz without any issues.

Please elaborate on the steps that you took to install the ROM and CWM.
What version of CWM are you running?
What modem do you have installed (...DK28, EB13, EC05)?
Have you transfered the SyndicateROM 1.1.0 onto your SD card before you installed CWM?
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache at least three times each before installing the .zip?
Your phone most likely is not bricked, that is a very hard to task to achieve. Worst case scenario you may have to do a clean wipe with odin and flash the stock ROM to start the process over. We can try to help you with any issues you may have but in the mean time try searching to the forum to find answers to these questions.
Hey, great idea for the thread.
Something I learned:
I was having AWFUL freezing problems. Tried all the fixes (vision kernel, old twilight) to no avail. If these don't fix your problems, try Genocide Kernel (on these forums). Solved my problems.

I used the one step root process I found here to install CWM 2.5.1.0. I then downloaded the ROM, copied it to my SDcard, then used CWM to install the zip from my sdcard.
I don't know what modem I have, is there a way to check with my phone in it's current state?
I installed CWM previous to transferring the rom to my sd card
I did not the first time, but per instructions on the page where I downloaded the ROM, I reformatted my sd card, redownloaded the ROM, wiped everything 3x's and tried to reinstall. Same result. I keep getting the error on just about everything I do that states "E:Can't open /cash/recovery/log"
And thank you for your advise, any more would be greatly appriciated. I did search the forum, but there is so much information, hard to find what I really want, especially as a novice. I plan to not be a novice for long thanks to xda!

I could probably answer that question, im still a noob, but from what i know u need to install CWM version 3.0.5/6 in order for u to run does roms, thats why ure having trouble flashing it, since Syndicate roms are EXT4 Base Roms anything lower then CWM3 wont support since they are RFS files, go here and follow the steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976194
download the CWM3 and root it again, u can run the CWM Root over the previous 1 so dont worry, i did it that way and i had no problems what so ever, as to check to see what modem u had, go to settings, about phone, under base band version check to see if the last 4 letters says EB13, or DK28, or if u have the ECO5 which is the newest stock base update that came out.
Also its best to know if ure phone is from stock, or if u updated from any of the first 2 version updates, EB or DK, if u where like me that waited for the update and stayed at Eclair then updated when the ECO5 OTA came out then u should be fine....
Just incase u are from a update of EB or DK here is the link for does 2 versions of CWM3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
if im wrong then someone please correct me im still a noob learning.
EDIT: just noticed that u said ure phone is messed at that point, umm u can try to do a factory reset then restart ure phone see if that fixes the problem, then try follow the steps above, if that doesnt work, u will have to download odin, which is also in that link and reflash back to stock, everything is there so if u follow does instrunctions u wont have a problem.....its actually pretty easy.....
I tried to downgrade from EH17 to EC05 stock through Odin. I used the official tar first and then tried the plus tar. Neither would complete in odin and just hung; no error or fail. My Epic display however did turn blue on 2 occasions. I used the 1.6 and 1.8 odins and neither worked.
I then tried to flash back to the EH17 stock with root and that didn't work until like the 3rd try. Anybody have issues with going back to EC05 and is it worth the effort? I'm just bored and didn't have any issues whatsoever on the GB builds so based off of that....am I missing anything?

Sounds like your cable is going bad. Time for a heavy duty cable. I am using the one from my Palm Pre and works perfect everytime.
I moved to GB and never looked back. EH17 rebooted at least 2 times a day after the 4th day so ended up going back to EG22. The only issues that has is stock browser won't download from dropbox links so got another browser and alarm wouldn't play in silent mode so got Extreme Alarm. Don't know what advantage going back to EC05 would give you. Many go back because of the reboot issue and can't get decent GPS to work. I can still get 5 out 10 locks so will do for now. If you use GPS constantly for directions then EC05 was way superior.
Odin is Version 1.81, have had no issues with since I have been flashing!

If you still want to downgrade, you might have to go down to DI18 or EB13 then update to EC05.
That is another Way to do it.

Flashing the sfr zip right over your gb leak (and also a kernel) works just fine. Ive done it on several occasions. Only issue I had was restoring data from a nandroid. Doing so would lock my epic into an upside down landscape view, so I had to rebuild from a clean install and just used some titanium backup restores sparingly.
Sent from a secret underground bunker
You know what's weird I had some issues going from EH17 to EC05 also... but I traced it down(hopefully) to a bad .tar (even though I succesfully odin'd at least 5 times with that same tar with all 5 previously being successful.
Sent from my SPH-D700
If you wanted to do a clean install and you were already on EC05, would a factory reset (settings/Factory reset) be just as good or would you want to reinstall either the EC05 or original stock DI07 file and do OTAs? What's the advantage of one over the other?

You know, there are two different schools of thought on this. Some always go back and use the OTA updates and some never do. I used to go back to EB13 and take the OTA but now I just go straight to what I want. A custom ROM is going to replace everything anyway

Yeah, I have been using the Factory Data reset a lot more. Then restore only apps, no data except what you must have. Phone always seems faster and smoother for awhile.

Thanks, another question, Factory Reset won't remove root or CWM will it?
Ive never had a problem going from EH17 or any other GB leak to EC05 but i have occasionally had issues with a bad USB cord or bad tar. Also going straight to whatever build you want might be better that OTA updates. As i recall there can be issues with OTA updates which can cause problems down the road. Of course thats just my personal opinion
Well my cable was bad but that did not help with flashing ROMS. I have been dloading from the device though so I will get fresh dloads from the PC.
On a side note, I used the SW tool and flashed back to EB13 then took the upgrade prompt back too EC05. Been rollin' stock just for kicks and I noticed that the stock ROM runs faster then it use to but the graphics in the GUI get a little stuttery here and there. The scrolling and gallery interface are where it is most noticable.
I can't wait till they start letting employees get the Epic touch.....

Did you do Data&Dalvik wipe three times prior to going into EC05?
Well, I searched and could find nothing addressing this directly, at least not on the epic 4g touch.
Yesterday, I rooted with the midnight 2.0, and after most of a day of normal behavior, the stock browser stopped scrolling smoothly. Dolphin HD still works fine, as does everything else I have tested. I tried resetting the browser to factory presets, but no change.
Any ideas? I suppose I could drop back to stock and see if that helps, but what a pain...
JV
The scrolling issue is caused by the overscroll mod added to the Rom. Go back to the Midnight thread and follow the links to his site and the Android Development tab (same place you downloaded the Rom). There you'll see a download for a fix. Only use his fix or you'll screw up the No NIQ.

God, I am such a noob. Flash it as in "move to /sdcard/, rename update.zip, etc... etc.. etc..."?
Edit: Okay, so I did it through CWM, and it caused a complete freeze halfway through the startup animation. I rebooted a couple of times, no change, and flashed the .zip again, then rebooted a couple of times. No change. Fortunately, reloading the midnight2.0 roms restored the phone.
Whew, I was afraid I had a brick.
Further: scrolling in stock browser still hosed.
I *did* get SVVM back up and running. Yay! (I know, but I'm used to it.)
