Issues with the Official MIUI rom

I just starting to adjust to the new feel of it. but it keeps restarting my phone over and over. once every 30 mins. even if I'm in the middle of a phone call.
I'm happy as hell i didn't miss my call for the interview i have tomorrow.
anyway to fix this issue. started happening after i had to flash the file that helps fix the FC of the SMS/MMS popup

Make sure you have wifi sleep policy set to never.

it still restarted. just did 10 seconds ago lol

Change your kernel.

Did you try the EVO MIUI devs at forums.miui-dev.com?

yes i did that one. im on the kernal is came with cause idk which kernal i should use.

There are two usual culprits:
1.You need to set wifi sleep policy to NEVER (as sultan of swing mentioned), or
2. incomplete wipe. You need to fully wipe data,.cache, dalvik cache before installing MIUI, especially coming from a Sense rom. Search this forum for the format-all.zip file. Flash it in recovery for the full wipe. Then flash rom.

Try a different kernel.

hmmm...it would help if I read more carefully. I never flashed that zip file.
But if I were expecting an important call, I'd switch to a rom I could trust - probably a sense rom like Fresh or MikWhatever. And I say this as MIUI fan woman

im liking the rom so far. sad part is im a sense fan. this isn't what i wanted, but after playing around with this rom for 2 hours i liked it a lot and the stuff u can do.
i already can tell this is faster than a sense rom. 1 of the games i played on the sense roms lagged a little. but i dont get as much lag in the MIUI rom.

This. Do this.
I was so frustrated with MUIU until I changed kernals. Now it's great.

I am running Savage 1.6 CFS-HAVS-WIMAX-SBC.
I have not had any reboots and when I pulled off the charger today I stayed at 100% for over 2 hrs.

Having issues finding a kernal now for some reason.

I find Savage 1.6 works best for me but every Evo is different. Other people swear by Zen-Droid which only bootloops my phone. bcnice-stable (v7 or v8) is another popular kernel (laggy for me). The safest (?) one seems to be cm6-Snap 7.6 (don't use SnapTurbo) - everything seems to work this snap.

ok thank you bigmoogle. is this the one you were talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883455&highlight=Savage
also which do i use the CFS or the BFS. i dont quiet understand the difference between the two.

Yep, that's the kernel. As to which to use, I am definitely NOT the person to ask. In the beginning, kernels were pretty.simple but as time went by, they've collected more and more acronyms. I use Savage 1.6 CFS HAVS. I think it has SBC because the other one is named noSBC.

[Q] What do you think of Baked Snack 2.0?

All politics aside, this seems like a great ROM.
Worth a look/see in my opinion.
Links removed.....Bonsai!

Seems slower to me than ACS Frozen even with the Kernel but its a nice ROM yea but IMO ACS is better also looks like some good kernels are about to come out ^_^

I don't like it but that's my opinion. Acs is alit better than that rom. I also have seen the arguments with the.developer and I don't know anything other that what I read but for him to be banned tells me something. I don't blame konane to be upset and he handled it very professionally. Stand up Guy.

I'm testing it out as of today. I liked Syndicate a lot but I was having issues with battery life. I was told BakedSnack has awesome battery life but we'll see. So far it's blehhhish in comparison but I'll have to gauge my charge to really see.

fyi the kernel is compatible with syndicate rom if you want that extra 80 Mhz.

I flashed the kernel and got the 1280, but in the About Phone it comes up as the same kernel I had previously. Is that normal?
Cool I actualy didnt know that. Maybe I'll use the kernel with Syndicate bc overall that rom is great, I just need something that helps out with battery life more.

is anyone having issues with the 1280 overclock on Baked? i'm thinking maybe my phone can't handle it 'cuz it seems to completely freeze with that setting.

Nope, I usually have it set to 1000/100, but I ran 1280 and it worked fine.

thats cool. i scaled it down to 1000/100 after the phone froze, and now i'm getting all kinds of force closes, especially with the market.... can't download anything at all. it sucks 'cuz i love how the ROM moves and feels, but it just isn't working in my phone.... any advice at all? i even odined to stock EB13 before flashing.

I would reflash with a thorough wipe of dalvik, cache and data again. I'm noobish but everyone seems to say that route may help with a bad flash. Which this sounds like. You're one of the lucky few

How does this kernal compare to syndicate's?
About the whole stealing dilema, k0nane said that he only took a couple scripts and syndicate is open source so anyone can use it. But hero over is a **** still and should credit others and make his rom free.

dang, yeah, i already did all the wipes numerous times, starting from stock, the whole 9 yards.... the whole 10 yards in fact, lol. i've flashed the ROM this way 3 times now, and all 3 times, same stuff. oh well, i guess it's not meant to be, right now. haven't gotten much, or any, feedback in his forum yet either.

apparently he used the genocide kernel as a base.. when he was releasing roms on the regular he always would forget the small stuff like that. and another instance he used the same install script so thats why you get the team viper logo when you install the kernel.

I'm running syndicate rom and cannot get the bakedsnack Kernel to work for 1280. setcpu says "cannot autodetect frequencies. this may be an issue with root access". I have tried flashing a few times and same result. any suggestions?

Flashing that kernel broke your root.... same thing happened to me. Just reroot with CWM 3.0.0.6. Then please let us know how the 1280 step works on your phone, it seems to work for some but not for me.

He's right if you don't flash baked snack rom over the kernel I believe you'll have to reroot
cd's or tapes?

I flashed the ROM and then after a reboot, the kernel. I seem to have root still, but I was also on Syndicate before BS, could that be it since they're so similar?

I haven't had the time to do the re-root yet however, I can still install the baked snack rom and the kernel will work to get me 1280. I can also re-install syndicate without a re-root. but syndicate still wont work with BS kernel.. so my root seems to still be ok..? Either way i will try and re-root with CWM 3 when i get home, try again and share my results.

as far as the Baked Snack Rom goes though It seems to been a tiny bit laggy when i compare to a few other roms out right now. Even with the 1280 overclock. The quadrant scores and smartbench scores are pretty low, however my Linpack was 17.2 mflops which is the best i have gotten. If i can just get this BS kernel to work on the syndicate rom!

Yeah, I was gonna say that maybe root is partially broken, lol.... at least when it comes to apps being granted superuser permission. When I flashed the Baked kernel over Syndicate, I couldn't do anything that required root access(including using setcpu to overclock), but re-rooting fixed that.

[Q] Samsung Epic 4g Cyanogen?

I just rooted my phone today and now no idea what I am doing. I checked out the Cyanogen ROM and would like to get it on my phone, however I do not know where to get it or where to begin with this. I checked out a lot of the forums here to find a answer and google and was unsuccessful. I come to you for assistance in learning this process, in hopes to understand, learn and figure all this out!
My questions are : How do you install Roms? What is Rom Manager for and how do I get it working with my phone CORRECTLY? What else do I need to install and get on my phone to fiddle with Roms or any other cool stuff in the future?
I want to be able to have my phone setup to ultimately do anything that a rooted phone can do. Please help!

Ok...well..if you haven't already, hit the DEV section two doors down. Also one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to search out " qbking77" in there and on youtube. He is the hands down "King" at how to vids for not only this phone but many others. Just add "Epic4g" to any search with his handle and you're on your way!...ENJOY and see you on the darkside!!
ALL HAIL THE QBKING!!

well i figured out how to change the ROM's! i am curious what some good ROM's are. I tried out CM7 and i would rather not use it because of the nature of the no 4g and other things that dont work on it. If anyone knows of any good ones with a cool UI please let me know!

and yes i checked out qbking77 and hes is AMAZING!! his videos helped me figure out how to change the roms!

Syndicate frozen rom 1.2 with genocide 2.0 kernel. Flash the rom then the kernel.

All ROMs are good and all have different features. If you make a specific list of what you want maybe someone can help you. Otherwise go into Development and read the OP on each of the ROMs for what features they have. When you find one you like, then read the entire thread to see what kind of problems you can expect.

If u want clean stable rom go with bonsai 4.0.1 with the aio mod, if you would like it just let ne know on this thread and ill give u a link for it and a link for the specific all in one mod, it is a froyo rom but it is stable and mu favorite rom as I never have issues with it

Cm7 is da bomb diggity!
Runner up is miui!
Both are in alpha and beta states [near perfect but cool enough to be daily drivers]
Run an acs if you're not ready to go off the chains!
I prefered stock just cause it runs hardcored but if you run it make sure you stay as close to stock as possible and just get updated kernels to stay afloat til you're really ready to backup and try others!
Flash On!

SFR 1.2 with Genocide 2.0 is good I used it for awhile until the 10/22 release of CM7 which I'm now using. I don't have 4g in my area so no loss there for me. Everything else I use my device for it works great with so I've not needed to go back to SFR.

would there be any specific reason why the battery seems to drain super fast with SRF 1.2 / Nuberl kernal?

Could be the kernel or some specific setting related to it. I'm not familiar with each kernel. So I'm going to make some guesses and say perhaps O/C overvolting, CPU governor not optimal choice, can't think of anything else from the kernel. If you switched ROMs you are probably going to want to fully charge and then boot into recovery and delete the battery stats or use battery calibrator (by marosige is the one I installed) to do it when the battery reaches 100%.

Does anyone else find this phone to be a mess or do i just have a bad one?

My phone is always shutting itself off or randomly rebooting. The most it has ever gone without a reboot is 3 days and lately thats a stretch. I am running phantom hackers blazer rom. Is this just something that you go through when rooted? I love this phone but i hate goin to use it and see that its off. Sometimes i consider getting rid of this thing and goin with an iphone because of how stable they are. My bro has an iphone and it is pure rock solid!

I can go Weeks without a reboot. Running try the ROM in my sig. Make sure you do a clean install, using the flash all script. Don't use TB until you are stable. After that you will be golden.

So you think its the rom and not my phone? I will say it never rebooted before i rooted it. I do LOVE this phone and would hate to get rid of it i just get soo mad when it reboots. Not something you should expect from a 500+ dollar device..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Yes, I think it is software related. Only time I ever get a random reboot is from something software related being off. Could be ROM, kernel, theme, just about any thing. That's why you want to start fresh. Caulks ROM is dead solid stable.

rbtrucking -- are you undervolted? The only time I've had any stability/reboot problems with this phone were when I was a little too aggressive with the undervolt (or overclocked to 1.7ghz ). I'm on calk's 2.8.1 with steadyhawkin's gunslinger kernel btw.

Phones the most reliable I've ever had now that the los is gone. I undervolt mine considerably. I have 3 other friends with thus phone 2 of them not rooted. The stocks have more issues then rooted ones I swear with reboot hot reboots freezing..getting sticky on transitions . Each phone just handles each Rom a lily different....YMMV

Nope I am not undervolting or overclocking at all. I leave the cpu settings alone as I find the phone to be plenty fast and overclocking can drastically decrease the life of a cpu especially without proper cooling. I have heard nothing but amazing things about calkulins roms though maybe I will give it a try. Anyone else having any issues like mine on Phantom Hackers Blazer rom?

If you flash back to stock and it still does it its ur sd card.

Ya I actually already had an sd card go bad on me and had to remove it because my phone would literally reboot every 10 minutes and sometimes I would have to pull the battery out for a little while to get it to go back on. The sd card was really really old though, came with my original evo. Since removing the sd card the reboots are allot less frequent but they still do occur but usually no more than once a day sometimes every couple days.

In 3 months I had one reboot...

Well all I can say is I flashed calkulins rom with the pure honey theme and this **** is HOT!! I really never knew using titanium backup that you dont lose ANYTHING! For some reason I always thought it just backs up apps! Had I known this I would have been flashing new roms allot more frequently though I love this one soo much I will definitely be sticking with it for some time. Lets just hope it runs stable on my phone! So far no complaints but it has only been about 10 minutes! Thank you for recommending this rom!

Since day one my phone reboots on average 2 times a day and overheats and/or shuts off at least once a wk. For me, it's not software related as I have tried every rom.
Today it just started a new thing where it will boot up (go through the animation) and then the screen will go dark to where I can't do anything. Right before it goes dark, the animation will freeze. I am able to get into the recovery though, and have wiped the cache and dalvik.

Generally the modem that matches your kernel is the best option. BUT that's not always the case. I find that the best thing to do is try all of them until you find the one that works best for your area. I've tried all of them from the EG modems on up to the leaked FC modems. I've had the most luck so far with FC07 and FC18. I'm currently testing out FC22 but haven't had it long enough to know for certain.
No matter what you do always be sure to update your PRL and Profile after flashing a new modem. If you don't nine times out of ten it'll be a terrible experience.
Good luck!

Haven't had as good battery and speed with the new FC's, id stick with EL26 or EL29. But its all location specific, a lot if people really like the new ones
