Non-Asop roms always freeze.

I reflash to odin, root with the new one click, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash SRF, after a few hours it will freeze with a black screen and I have to pop the battery to re-boot. I've tried wiping 3 times, turning journaling on, etc. Every non-asop rom eventually freezes on me, however, miui and cm7 never have that problem? Looking for suggestions and and aswser as to why the aosp roms never have the same issue. Any other rom freezes with in 24 hours, cm7 and miui have never froze on me.

Dont wipe before flashing srf...
And are you overclocked?

I wish i knew cause as soong as my phone goes into standby, it wont come back on. i even changed the voltage settings like recomended..its a over clocked kernal but i dont overclock the settings at all

I'm not overclocked, just flashed the genocide kernel to see if that makes any difference. So what steps should I take? What I did was
Odin to stock eb13
Ota update to ec05
New clockwork mod
Wiped data, cache, and dalvik
Flashed SRF

i usually just odin pre-rooted eb13
let it boot and sit for 5 mins...
go into clockwork and follow ext4 conversion
and then flash SRF without wiping.
Most new roms backup data and they dont like it when u wipe data before the flash...and cm7 and miui dont do this so maybe thats why your getting freezes.

Simply AOSP dosen't, and I've had the same problem on there. Someone on craigslist needs to just trade an evo for my epic so I can get full cm7 goodness, ha ha

lol or wait for the within like everyone else

I'm very impatient, ha ha. Right now I'm odining the EC05 stock plus tha's pre-rooted, then Im gonna let it sit for 5, boot recovery, and flash SRF with out wiping, well see how that works. I had my hopes up because it seemed that the new CWM might have fixed my issues, but alas, no.
It sucks, my choices are
Stock, and super slow with everything working
CM7 or MIUI, super fast with out mms, gps or cam (on cm7)
or Everyother rom, fast, but have to pull my battery 5 times a day

I'm talking about true stock. I use your odin tar as a starting point seeing as how its pre-rooted. Honestly have never given it a try as a daily driver, if SRF freezes after flashing and not wiping, I may have to give it a try.
Yours is the EC05 plus pre-rooted with no CIQ right?

Yes

wow.. I was just about to post a thread about the samething.. to see if there was ANY rom I could use that wont do freeze..
I have tried SRF, Midnight and Frankenstein roms.. I even tried them with diffrent kernals and no luck.. it always freezes..
I dont know if it makes a diffrence but I havent tried any rom thats based off of the EE03 Modem.. like the "Swiss Cheese Samsprint" EE03 rom..

Don't worry. This whole thread makes no sense unless the OP means that CM7 is the only ROM that does not freeze.
The Epic has no other AOSP ROM that I am aware of. I guess even the stock ROMs freeze for the OP.

i actually find that sometimes i get FCs if i dont wipe so wiping has nothing at all to do with this

I'm wondering if you are using any cpu control apps? Setcpu? Pimp my cpu? Voltage control?
And/or any ram mamaging apps like auto memory manager?
I would suggest after you get on srf 1.1.1, get setcpu, do a quick auto detect on there, and change settings to conservative 200 min 1000 max, see if that helps, make sure you do NOT have both voltage control and setcpu installed.
Auto memory manager will also interfere with the ram tweaks in srf that's why I included that
Sent from my SPH-D700

@prodigy
CM7 and MIUI are both aosp, neither of those freeze, neither does a stock odin flash, any custom rom freezes.
@dr
I'm not using voltage control or setcpu, but I am using an auto task killer. Could that be the issue? And why is it only on non-aosp roms that I have this problem. Never had a bad flash with miui or cm7, and evey custom rom always freezes after trying everything.

When i install a ROM they install but when i reboot my phone nothing happens some app icons change but that's it Please help
see page 2
Rooted Epic 4g EC05 Stock rom

You have to provide more information so we can help you out. What ROM are you installing? What is your current recovery? Are you using the purp 3.1.0.1? Did you wipe System/data, cache partition, and Dalvik Cache 3x? We can get you straightened out. Just give some more details.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

all ROM's do it but im trying to convert over to ext4 and run syndicate ROM . Yes i have wiped data/factory restore and flushed dalvik 3x every time... cwm recovery v2.5.1.0

you cant install srf 1.2 on that recovery.. you need to upgrade to 3.1.0.1, cwm2x does not support ext4

You need to update clockwork to 3.1.0.1. You're using an outdated recovery.

Rom manager doesn't really work for epic. You have to turn off your phone and then hold camera, vol down and power to get into your recovery. Check qbking's videos. They will make a lot of sense. You may want to odin your phone and restart. I'm not sure how much craziness you may have started. Backup major stuff with Titanium and everything will pretty much be normal without major loss.

Wow, its been a while since I was that far back on recovery. Let me check TheRoot's link...EDIT..yup TheRoot's link has a flashable version of the 3.1.0.1 recovery that will get you right where you want to be to flash all of the current batch of ROMs. PM me if you get stuck and I will go step by step

After you finish, download ACS updater and it'll give you the goodness you were looking for in Rom Manager. There's also a support thread in Apps.

If you're flashing SRF 1.2, don't worry. It's built in. Just flash the rom, journaling on and a kernel and you're on your way. Use the thanks button as well, please.

I would try going step by step. First go into settings/applications. Go to Maps and force stop and clear data. Try the app again. If that doesn't work, do the same again then power down. Boot into recovery, wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache 3x and reboot. If that doesn't work, wipe everything and hopefully you have a good nandroid backup. If not, you may have to flsh the ROM again. Odin shouldn't be necessary on this one.

I thought that was a typo myself. I think he was referring to EG22 modem from a thread I read earlier
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Actually..i have no idea. When i flashed the eg22...i still had the vision kernel on there. I was fine for a few hours, things went bad when i tried to put gen 2.0 on. My phone never liked gen 2.0 but since i changed mods, i thought things would change. i uploaded gen from acs updater, but of course, it sent me to blue recovery..so i booted up into cwm after i pulled batt. when she came back on, everything started force closing and text messages wasnt working. I went back to eco5 and now everything is fine. Now that i think about it, since it was a leak, maybe it wasnt compatible with set cpu..hmm. As far as the map thing..i tried everything....then it dawned on me. Just delete it and install from market..she brand new now and maps is running.

Is this the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch section of the forums?

Just asking cause I flashed the starburst rom and it boot looped my phone. I got into the main screen once but, the task bar kept force closing and it kept boot looping... Any help would be great.

Yes this is the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch section.
Did you make a nandroid backup 1st? (If Yes, restore your backup) Did you go into "mounts and storage" and format "/system" before you wiped data/cache/dalvik cache?

Odin another rom.
Search for and download odin v1.85. Then download a .tar file. Where ever you find these items, you'll also find good instructions.
Then try flashing starburst again.

Did you format /system prior to flashing Starburst? That'll cause bootloops if you failed to do so.

I would suggest 5.0.2.3, or 5.0.2.6 Also...make sure you format cache/dalvik/data/system at least 3X each. If that doesn't work, then try redownloading the ROM. Might've gotten a borked download.

Use this: LoStkernel or this: CWM
But I'm willing to bet that you either didn't format system in the mounts and storage menu or it didn't take when you tried. I would retry StarBurst again first, making sure to Format System Under Mounts and Storage and making sure it succeeds. Then you won't have to worry about any of the other stuff.

Yeah, CWM can be quirky

Capacitive buttons only work when keyboard is out

I've got an issue where all four capacitive buttons will not work in portrait mode but will work in landscape mode with the keyboard out. I've found some people had issues when they first got their phones but I've had mine for about 14 months and this just started happening. I'm on RandomRom right now with a fresh flash but I had this same Rom before I re-flashed and didn't have the issue. Also, the capacitive buttons used to work in CWM but they don't anymore. I'm going to try the new RandomRom later this weekend but I was curious if anyone else had this issue? I'm leaning towards a hardware problem even though it does work with the keyboard out but also the software has essentially remained unchanged so I'm lost.

I recommmend doing a clean install of whatever rom you want to use. An updated kernel should be included with the rom. Wiping 3 times is not neccessary as that was a bug with old cwm (3.x.x.x) 1 time is enough now. If the problem persits after a clean install download the newest samurai kernel. If that doesn't work try the newest shadow kernel (you can try shadow first if you would rather that kernel). Shadow is now on 1.0.4....

Okay I tried the CleanGB, with the stock kernel and Shadow kernel, and neither of those worked either! Does anyone know of a decent ROM to Odin? I don't want to download the stock from the Samsung website and have to re-root. Or, does anyone know of a gesture application that has "back" and "home" that can be mapped?

Besides "odin", u really got me there. If. U repartition...as much as u don't want to..it will completely reset everything. I would have to say, its better than continuining the guesing game...u know? That's my advice though.
