Most functional Android rom

I just flashed my Kaiser with Fat Free Froyo RLS5. I really like the Android OS, but the lack of functionality is bothersome. I can't type into the Google search bar that is on the desktop, the camera doesn't work and, worst of all, the USB to PC data connection is inoperable. These things along with some other minor things like the fact that I can't change the volume of the alarm clock make me want to try a different flavor. I've only been using it for about an hour and already found all these problems so I can image that there are more.
All I am looking for it a version of Android that will allow me to use the camera, browse my SD card from my PC, and has a working WiFi. Speed is also a concern.
If I could get some suggestions I would be appreciative.
Thank you.

Camera not working is related to your kernel/radio rom. Also you could use not so super froyo if you want the same with more features. If you want more speed I suggest a Cyanogen based rom as these are the fastest currently. I suggest changing your kernel to l1qu1ds latest .32 kernel via the thread that is stickied at the top.
USB to pc is not working through my computer right now but adb is at least. What I do for data transfer is just use System on NAND and Data on SD and use a card reader for the data.
Lastly, remember that android on the Kaiser is by no means perfect and is still more or less of a thing to be like "Look what my old phone can do!" thing. If you want everything perfect then Windows mobile has that already. Otherwise if you want a cooler newer OS on your phone then its going to take a little time for us. We have come a long ways but not all the way there yet.

the search bar will work if you download google search from the market, it was removed since it can be installed from the market, fat free is fully functional you just have to work to get it going out of the gate, now in contrast not so super froyo is ready to go from the get go

I am using Fat Free Froyo RLS5 and all that stuff works for me.
USB to PC works perfectly in linux It works for me on windows 7 too, but you just have to wait a long time (maybe 2-5 mins) for the computer to recognise it.
To change the alarm volume just roll the jog wheel while in that menu (or press whatever buttons you have assigned to volume up/down)

Thanks for the help, guys.

I don't have a card reader; that is why this is important to me. Are there any Android versions that this works, or an app that I can install even?

The only reason I don't want WMP is because it is ridiculously slow to respond. I had heard that Android was much faster so I am giving it a try.

That part really isn't a big deal; I probably would never even use it. It was just one of the many small glitches I was noticing during normal use. Things like there being no way to bring the phone back from sleeping except the power button (not even opening it!). At one point, when it is just sitting on my desk, the screen turned white and the phone was completely unresponsive. I had to hard reset it. They keyboard works except when dialing a number where it seems completely random.
If there is a workaround to these things, I'm fine with doing some personalizing, but if not, I would like to know if there are flavors that don't have these kinds of issues.
I think I will try Cyanogen like you suggested and see if I like it any better.
Thanks again for the help.

the white screen is a known issue apparently overclocking improves this

White screen is present when the system didn't draw the screen before it power up.
When you overclock the system is faster so it spend less time to draw the interface.
Sometimes you have with screen when the system sleep but it can't resume because the main app crashes.

To change the alarm volume just roll the jog wheel while in that menu

This changes "Ring volume" regardless of what I have opened.
Thanks for all the input, everyone.
I have tried four different Android builds now and I haven't gotten a USB data connection with any of them. I noticed that one of them had a Network option, as though I might be able to browse files of computers on the network which would solve my problem. Unfortunately, that particular build just says "Error" when I try to turn WiFi on.
Is there an android app I can install that will allow me to transfer files between my phone and a PC? That is really the number one priority right now. To test these Android builds I have been reverting back to WMP every time I want to try a different one because I need to put the androidinstall.tar onto my card. I tried loading a bunch of different ones on the card to avoid this, but I get "Permission denied" when I try to rename a file in the andboot folder.
Thanks again.

I have a kaiser with froyo kernel 2.6.32 date 9.9.2010 I have overclocked with atools to 500 mhz and also overclocked the GPU, battery is standard setting. My radio is Neon 1.65.24.36 Together with thoughtlesskyle`s (thank you!!) fat free release 5, i have a very stable situation here. I have to admit i am not a heavy user. Merely phonecalls and sms (or whatsup) and sygic navigation software . I only have to reboot once a week. I am not sure why, maybe because i use cachemate once a while.
For connection between pc and kaiser i use SD Share Dual Mount. It works perfectly. I had flashed the latest kernel(s) of l1q1d because of the alleged stable reboots. I am sad that i did not have stable reboots, it got stuck and i had to reinstall my apk`s again. And most important for me, the SD Share did not work with the latest kernel(s), thats why i reverted back to the 9.9.2010 one.
As for the white screen, it only happens to me if my kaiser goes asleep and i awake it immediately. If i take some seconds between asleep and awakening, it`s okay.
I have to thank many people here to be able to use my kaiser like i bought it yesterday or so. Maybe someone can try my settings and profit from it, like i do.

Well at least the white screen is being worked on, see the thread I made.

[Q] Problems with SyndicateROM Frozen

Hi all,
I recently installed SyndicateRom Frozen after I got stuck on Eb13 thanks to Sprint. It worked out really well (so fast!) for a while but I am now having problems varying from strange but tolerable to very bad.
Here is the exact order of what I've done:
1) from eb13, I used odin to get DI18, then modem only to EC05, installed CWM3 and wiped data/cache/dalvik cache 3x each.
2) I used CWM3 to flash SyndicateRom Frozen (the latest version)
3) it worked pretty well, but then I (stupidly I guess) installed Go Launcher Ex and then everything went to hell
4) it ran for a while then suddenly EVERYTHING force closed. restarting it just gave me 9000 more force close boxes. so I...
5) wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x, re-flashed syndicateROM
So here I am now with the following problems:
1) The phone randomly freezes irreversibly (only solution is to pull the battery). It seems like it happens in the browser only (stock Syndicate browser)
2) The phone randomly freezes for a little while only (all the time)
3) The email app force closed (fixed this for now by clearing its data, from forum)
4) With auto-rotate OFF, nothing rotates EXCEPT my phone page.. What the heck? The phone page (ie click the phone icon) rotates regardless of what setting auto-rotate is on
5) The phone sometimes just decides to restart itself. And rarely, the restart never finishes.
6) Whenever I open up google navigation, it says "checking navigation availability" for 5-10 seconds. This never happened before
Now, what do I have running?
-SetCpu (this was running before I had go launcher and I had no problems). it's set very modestly -- 200-400 with screen off (and I dont have the no-wakeup problems some people talk about) and 400-10000 with the screen on, on demand.
-Ultimate Juice
If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed post - it helps. Your issues, though, are almost definitely kernel-related. Freezing is a sign you need to use kernel version 1.0.4 linked from the second post, or VisionKernel. Try VisionKernel first. If it solves your issue, you're good to go.
Anything related to screen rotation is outside of the ROM - run the sensor calibration process.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try installing a new kernel when I get home tonight. BTW, awesome work with the ROM.

Thanks for your support!

im having similar problems, but mine only occur when the battery dies
after i restart a lot of my apps are force closing without even running them, and when i press the home button the screen is blank. (i also use go launcher)

You kno this same thing happened to me. I finally realized it was probably because I was restoring my apps with titanium. I decided to just re-download my apps and restore only app data with titanium (angry birds etc.). This helped me. And this was all after installing launcher pro. So there was some sort of conflict there. Are you restoring apps?

i didnt restore my apps with titanium that time but i switched from go launcher to launcher pro and i dont have that problem anymore

Hmm...i guess just stay away from that launcher then...haha.

I'm not sure if his problems were strictly Go Launcher related. I've been using Go for 2 days now, with no problems (yet... knock on wood).
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

So here's an update:
-No, I'm not using Titanium backup.. I manually reinstall all my apps.
-I tried out the VisionKernel and it seemed ok for a bit, but I'm freezing again and my apps are all force closing. I uninstalled SetCpu completely in case that was causing a problem, but it didn't make a difference.
I'm going to try using v1.04 next... if that fails I guess I just can't use this rom
Would setting myself back to DI18 -> EC05 -> Syndicate possibly work? (as opposed to just re-flashing syndicate)

This was happening to me regardless of my kernel, and I even (twice) ODIN'd to [DI18?] then OTA to EC05 and then wiped everything 3 times, and flashed, 1st flash never works for me, so 2 flashes both times completely clean as well as when flashing kernels
1.0.2 worked just fine for me but as soon as 1.1.0 came I get freezes and FC's all over the place. I have given up on 1.1.0 and will try it when a newer version comes out

Media
First off want to say, love the ROM so far, you guys rock. After a few failed attempts at getting CWM 3 on my phone, I was finally able to do so and get everything installed. The only problem I'm having is with my media files. I get random FC when I play my music, my photo gallery doesn't appear, when I try to access my mp3's directly from my SD card, it says "file type not found" and it does not like the Zedge app at all. I've tried both the standard and fully loaded versions with the same results. I have the visionkernel downloaded, just in case I need to try it, but if at all possible, I'd like to stick with the twilight (I use the camcorder often). Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Yea, did basically the same thing last night. It went fine for a day, but it went to hell again tonight. Oh well, we'll have to wait for a new version I guess.

As noted many times in many places, if you're having issues with 1.1.0 that aren't freezing/battery life (these are both the kernel and have been discussed everywhere), a few simple troubleshooting steps will get you exactly where you need to be.

My issue is freezing, and I tried all of the alternate kernels. Sorry if my language wasn't precise- I mean new kernels.
I've actually given it one last try...I'm wondering if the clock is set too low for my phone by default, so I've got setcpu on min400 max1000. I'll let ya'll know how it turns out... (Stable so far although suddenly my home key doesn't work, hah.)

400mhz shouldn't be necessary. If your freezes were wakelocks, and you had your minimum frequency at 100mhz, that was your problem - not all devices can handle it, and need to be at 200mhz.

They were actually freezes during use-- I luckily never got a single wakelock.
I'm not sure if there was a pattern or not, but I think the Market, Go SMS Pro, stock Email, and stock browser were the main freezes. Then again, those are also the apps I use quite frequently

Sorry to double reply, but I can't edit yet.
@androikid
It just occurred to me that the freezes wouldn't be that bad if not for the force closes that occur afterward (due to data corruption). Maybe we should just turn journaling on so the a freeze just means a restart, rather than a re-flash.

[Q] Just flashed Syndicate to my Epic... questions

This is my second time rooting my phone. I wanted to get a better ROM and the Syndicate seemed like a good choice. Had a few problems and had to go back to the original stock and then download the Android update, root it and then flash the Syndicate. After a couple of tries it worked.
I ended up using OneClickRootCWM3.0.2.5-EC05 and that worked. Before I believe the problem was I had 2.5.
After root I flashed syndicatefro110-fullyloaded-signed. Love the look and still have more to explore on it, but I had a few questions.
1) One of the issues I had was on the home screen, it was taking a while for the apps and widgets to populate. It would look blank for several seconds and then finally show up. After I updated it is doing the same thing. Is this a known issue?
2) I like the battery %. I had a widget to tell me that, but I uninstalled it. No reason to have that now right?
3) Used juice defender before, do I need it now? Apparently the battery life should be a lot better. But one weird thing happened, my battery was 40% after flashing and using the phone for several hours. Then I rebooted and the phone came back at 13%. Never saw that before.
4) I backed up what I could with Titanium Backup but I wasn't sure how to just backup everything. It didn't look like some of my apps or my text messages were saved, but after the reboot those text conversations returned. Not sure what is going on there.
5) I wanted to install the Impaled Keyboard fix but it looks like with the Syndicate ROM the keyboard works better on its own. Is that part of that package?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

1 - not sure, this happens to me once in a while.
2 - no need for the widget anymore! I have not used Juice Defender with this ROM. I can get between 15-20 hours, when I was getting 10-12 stock. I have a couple emails pushing and twitter, and text often, a little AB here and there. So I "use" my phone.
3 - That has happened to me also. All you have to do is charge to full, the clear battery stats in CWM
4 - To get a full back-up I make a nandroid in CWM
5 - Not sure, I barely use my keyboard at all.

SRF was my second rom as well and I've been very happy with it.
1) I've noticed this happening as well but I use Launcher Pro (which I highly recommend). I'm not sure if the normal home screen shows up in the task manager but I just kill my home screen there and hit the home button and it seems to load it up faster than just waiting for it.
2) Welcome to convinience my friend. I used a battery percent app as well and you will no longer need it
3) I almost think Juice Defender gives me worse battery life than without it. SRF will get you great battery life, in addition to that I also use an app to "Freeze" the two DRM processes and I notice an improvement there as well. Just search the forums for DRM if you are curious about that. As stated in the above post every time you flash a new rom you are going to want to calibrate your battery so you avoid misreadings. There is an app on the market that I like called "Battery Calibrator" or you can do it through CWM.
4) I've always lost my conversations using Titanium Backup and I know a lot of people use Nandroid, may be worth looking into.
5) This is a recommended tweak by many SRF users. I've put it on recently but haven't really tested it.

follow up on DRM
Which apps are you using to freeze the DRM? I have Titanium backup but I can't find an option to freeze apps. I don't have the paid version so that might be the problem.
Can I manually do a force stop on DRM Content? I tried doing that but it didn't work. The button didn't change color like it should.
Going to play around with Launcher Pro as well. It looks pretty cool.
I am doing a calibration on the battery now too.

I highly recommend GO Launcher EX.
While you won't need Juice Defender, I would suggest you use Juice Plotter periodically - just to make sure there isn't something eating your battery.

ACS just released 1.1.1 standard edition yesterday. They are trying to get the fully loaded version released sometime tonight. Give that version a go when released, if you wanted to stay with fully loaded.
#1: I had this issue from DI18 OTA to EC05. This went away after a factory reset, and haven't seen it since.
#2: Your call if you want to use a battery widget or not. The % is displayed on the notification bar anyhow.
#3: Your call if you want to use it. Some still do for controlling their data usage across the board.
#4: Not really seeing a question there, but you probably just backed up everything. Upon data restoration, apps like that typically ask you to reboot for everything to display properly.
#5: It's now incorporated into v1.1.1, so no need to flash it separately unless you continue to use v1.1.0.

In Titanium, go to the Backup/Restore tab and tap (just tap -- don't hold down) on the two apps that start with DRM. It should bring up a screen that allows you to select "freeze".
Regarding Launcher Pro -- I paid for Launcher Pro (before flashing Syndicate) but have since moved to Go Launcher Ex which I like MUCH better. It's a lot like Launcher Pro but IMO has better implementation of folders.
Syndicate -- especially this newest 1.1.1 version -- is absolutely great. So fast and smooth. The only thing I didn't care for much is the red circle startup screens. I just found an alternate "Syndicate" startup screen in the Themes forum posted by EnervinE. I like it MUCH better!

Green power is better than juice defender and has an almost 0 config

thanks to theimpaler747
Read through the new 1.1.1 thread and I can't believe how many questions theimpaler747 answered!
I was a little confused as to what I needed to do, but it was pretty simple since I already had Syndicate Frozen 1.1.0. I just flashed the new one (1.1.1) and all is well! I tested the wireless and wired tether and it worked great.
Still playing with it. Curious to see how it is on the battery.
Also will test out the keyboard fix since it says that is now included. It even blocks the ads in apps! Wow. This seems pretty cool.

all roms take a while to populate lists like that specially while media scanner is running, which will take a long time if you filled your sd card with titanium backup...
no reason to keep the batery % widget...

Wired tether worked for you with 1.1.1? I was never able to get mine to work and I saw many other people reporting similar problems. You're using the Twilight kernel that came with the ROM or did you flash a different one? Just curious since I couldn't get mine to work and I really would prefer USB tethering to WiFi.

I did use the twilight kernel and tested the usb tether and it worked. But I only tried it that one time.

Hmm, interesting. I tried mine with WinXP (with the necessary drivers I think) and with Ubuntu, but no luck. Maybe I'll give my wife's Win7 laptop a try.

With the new 1.1.1 has anyone had any problems with trying to download pictures off pages?? Because with the 1.1.0 everytime i did that it force closed....Or after using it so long everything was force closing where i had to reflash the rom...

Works fine for me, just downloaded a barcode to scan

setCPU
ryan4sc: If you haven't checked it out already, you'll want to download and install SetCPU. Now that your phone has a kernel like Twilight Zone, you can save even more battery juice by controlling the speed of the CPU with this app. You can get it from the Android Market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419

Yes and you can over clock with set cpu. Mine runs great at 1.3

Thanks for the heads up on that one. Trying it out now!

The apps taking time to load in my experience has to do with them being saved on your SD card. I backed up my SD card and then formatted it and the lag went away.
I use juice defender even though most recommend that its not needed. JD always gives me ridiculous numbers saying it doubled my battery life, but in reality it adds about 30 - 40% more time. I typically get 18 hours or so of moderate to heavy usage out of my stock battery.
And this is running genocide 1.1 overclocked to 1.4 and undervolted 25 at each step except 1ghz which is stepped down 50 using voltage control.

In this thread issues are being discussed as well. First thing you can do to reduce the number of problems is to master reset your phone. Please make sure you back up your data including the files on SD card. It took me two resets to make things stable but as you mentioned there are abnormality with the phone. We are hoping there will be an update soon.
On that note, you might want to discharge your battery to improve it as well. Recharged it from switched off and from wall socket. Good Luck.

Yes I did the factory wipe in boot menu like 2 or 3 times and had to clear cache in boot menu to get the camera working. It seems pretty stable at the moment because I did another wipe yesterday and unroot before hand ato fix it. And I havnt rooted yet bacause I want to compare hw it runs because it seems pretty ok at the moment so I might root again later to see if it starts happening again.
And thanks for the tip about the battery

Update....i rooted again but this time with gingerbreak and when I installed setvsel I enabled jit and jis made the phone alot faster! What is jit? What does,it do?

[Q] Nils' Business Gingersense 3.0 V2.3

I've been running Nils' V2.2 ROM for several days now, and here's my observations (I'd have made these in the dev thread, but I'm still < 10 posts):
Initially, lots of force closes, but this settled down after a day or so. Occasional hot reboots hung on for another day, but stopped when I installed Tiny's kernel, enabled smartass, and enabled fast-boot. Now, I get an occasional FC on "System App", particularly when I'm playing with configurations, but other than the popup, I see no other side effects. Applications on the SD card are easily lost, and pretty difficult to get back to the SD. When I reinstall and try to move it to the SD again, I get failures once or twice, then it moves. Other than this, I find it a little more laggy than is really ideal. I did eventually overclock the high end, but this only improved the lag a little.
Other mods I installed are the black lock ring, the Rosie 5X4 app drawer, and WildStang83s Bunker Buster DTR.
So, that said, it's a really sexy ROM, and I can't wait to see what comes with V2.3.
First question, will flashing V2.3 wipe out the DTR mod? I'm assuming it will.
Next, if the DTR is wiped, can I flash the same one, or will V2.3 have changed enough that a new DTR is needed?
Thanks a bunch!
Lou

I have run a variant of the GingerSense ROM's for a month, haven't had any of the issues you raised.
Are you restoring anything to the ROM? Particularly system data along with an app?
Assume the appropriate HBOOT, cwm, and minimum radio are in place as well as ample room on the sd card?
Also assume complete wipes of data, caches, system, factory reset, boot, etc?

smtom gave you your answer. If you are getting FC's or any other strange behavior because something like the wrong hboot or residue from the prior ROM is still there.
Follow the instructions in my first post to clean the system out and reflash.

Thank you both for the suggestions.
When I flashed 2.3 over 2.2, I did clear the cache and Dalvik *before* taking the backup, just to be safe, and it does seem a fair bit snappier now. Still not quite the interface speed I was seeing with stock Sense 1.0, but pretty close, and it really is so much cooler ...
As far as restoring system data, the first time I tried V2.2 (the day it was released), I did make the mistake of restoring some of the system stuff - like Mail accounts - I might even have inadvertently restored the old Mail app itself, which was clearly a dumb thing to do. It was my first non-stock ROM, so I suppose it can be chalked up to Newbie mistakes. Anyway, that resulted in a lot of ugliness that was obviously not your ROM, and I knew it. I was a lot more careful not to do anything so dumb the next time around, but I did get some instability anyway. Maybe something got left behind, I don't know.
Now, I limit restores to user apps and only restore data for some of the more annoying apps to set up - 1Password, DropBox, SugarSync, Facebook, things like that - not GMail, Mail, or contacts. I manually re-enter all the mail accounts and sync contacts from Google.
Wouldn't it be nice if Google gave you the option to track your app installs (free apps too, not just the paid ones) and gave you a batch re-install button?
I probably pushed my luck a little by flashing the DTR before rebooting from the ROM flash, but so far no problems at all.
When I do see a small lag in the homescreens, it seems to hang on for a second or two, then the phone seems to get itself in gear and the home screens flip like nobody's business. I still haven't put Tiny's kernel back on though. I'll stick with the stock version for awhile at least.
I do have SetCPU installed, set to on-demand from 245MHz to 998MHz. I haven't set up any profiles though. I know they are a bad idea with Tiny's kernel, and probably no problem with the stock Gingersense kernel, but I wanted to see how it works with the default configuration for awhile.
I am also using the 2.15.00.07.28 radio. I tried the leaked 2.15.10.07.07 version, but didn't find any improvement, so I went back.
My HBoot is 0.92.
I still haven't put the Rosie 5X4 app drawer back in. I was wondering if there's a way to disable the "paging" scrolling behavior and enable the smooth scrolling that Sense 1.0 used?
Thank you both again.
Nils, this seems like mostly minor updates, but whatever happened, it's a lot more snappy and stable for me now.
Cheers!
Lou

Yee haw! Appbrain will track and batch reinstall applications, fwiw.

Can't set my contact card image
It seems every time I try to reflash, some other minor thing comes up. Up to now, I was always getting the image I had set for my profile on Google with my contact card, and in my Handcent conversations.
Now, not only is my image not there, but I can't set it. Seems I can't set *any* of the contact images. At least before, I could modify my Google contact in the Google web interface, but now I'm not sure that would work.
I've tried fixing permissions through CWM (5.0.2.0), and even tried manually changing permissions on /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts.files/* to 666 as detailed here for a similar issue.
Any ideas what could cause this, or how I could fix it?
Thanks (again) in advance
Lou
