[q] ec05 vs eh17 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Big fan of the ACS team and also the phoenix rom but im sick at home and thinking about exploring for a bit. What are some of the differences and things i can expect from switching to EH17..ACS ICS EH17 Rom to be exact looks like next target? Thanks in advance fam...

I ran that rom for just a short time. Every time I try out a GB leak I ALWAYS end up ditching it.
I can't recall just what it was that made me give up on the ICSEH17. if you've tried any other GB roms then they are kinda all the same.
I remember that I didnt care for the ics launcher. There was no voodoo mods (on account of it being a leak). It didn't seem to have any bugs or issues like CM7 does.
If I recall anything more I'll try to drop back in and update here.

The Volume+ app included in ThunderHawk might satisfy your volume boosting needs in place of Voodoo.

Voodoo sound was added in Nubernel, kernel replacement in Development.

Thanks for the volume boosting tips for thunderhawk and the nubecoder kernel. It's really a must have for me when using a crappy FM transmitter in my non-bluetooth havin car.

cm6 v.s. Fresh 3.2 ?

Ok Im all backed up and ready to give it a go. I just have a few questions.
I don't use the Sense Launcher and have almost nothing on my home screens. just the scrolling dock at the bottom. launcher pro.
What are some things I am going to lose?
What is the differences in the Camera? Details?
What are the differences in the Dialer?
I like the dialer on Fresh 3.2 because of the FB integration.
I don't use 4G
I have not used HDMI as my flatscreen has a CPU connected already.
Is it possible to have the gallery from 3.2 with the FB pictures tab? or is that a sense thing?
Basically I don't know what all is strictly sense.
the default aosp dialer has what i consider to be a fault. you can't just spell out the name of contact. so i started using DialerOne.
dont' forget to check out both CM6 related threads (both are a bit quiet, but will answer many of the questions you may cross...search is your friend)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729802
not sure on the FB stuff since I don't use it except to fill in the pics in my contact list.
give it a whirl. it will be a bit different.
enjoy.
Thanks Draginmagik (sportbike rider?) I had already thought out what I wanted to ask while at work and only had time to ask while on lunch. Figured Id get some input from some people who had used both but your input is appreciated to. I forgot about dialer one. That is one of my favorite things about the dialer I have. I tried Dialer One on The moment but couldn't get it to come up with the green button. I guess thats not a problem with the evo.
A few things ive noticed in Fresh 3.2 Vs Cyanogen mod is that...
Fresh's battery life (by itself, no kernal flashed) is by far the best of any of the ROMS ive used.
I like the sense camera sooooooo much more than the default android camera so thats a no brainer for me.
I do like the AOSP call history though, its much easier to navigate to and through.
Overall, im running Cyanogen right now but ill probably go back to Fresh later tonight... the battery difference is amazing.
Reading a little more I don't see where Sprint vvm / weird text message is there or not. I hated that on the Hero AOSP roms. Also want to get opinions on GPS as i need it to work at the end of this week. I will be flashing this tonight, just want to get some feedback so dont need the "just try it" post. Again, Im just trying to get a comparison so I know what to look for faster after I flash to be sure I like it before I head home this weekend. Once I get on the road and get back home, phone playtime is over until I get caught up at home . hahaha.

Have you tried Kings ASOP kernrel? Im using #3 BFS and its great if I dont use the phone but it seems to suck down pretty quick when the phone wakes up. I'm over the battery thing, I just started carrying my usb cable in my back pocket and hit up a usb plug when I see one. lol But thanks for the info. Ill keep an eye on that too.

Can you explain the difference? I just figured out on the Fresh camera that if you touch the screen it focuses on that spot. Awesome feature. Wish my real camera did that.

not sure how the stock CM6 kernel is. a few days ago the CM6 nightly was upped to the .34 kernel. the custom ROM's are mostly on the .32 kernel still. i ran Kings on CM and it was 'ok'. the UI was smooth but the battery life reminded me of my previous stock kernels. perhaps as he rolls out more kernels that will be adjusted.
Cyanogen wrote the camera app in CM6. it also has the point touch focus. it has been much improved from the default aosp camera.
c'mon...make ur nandroid and jump in the beautiful cyan colored waters.

All nanded up and flashed and restored most of my apps. Pandora sounds great. Ill test it in the shop but in the hotel its loud! I didn't Know that was a feature.
I liked the look of the dialer until the phone rang. YUK!
Im trying to finish up my Manup them but not sure if the ZIP I already have for the notification bar will work with CM6
The camera work good so far, as long as the pictures take good im OK with that. I hate 3d gallery, always have. its on my list of things to fix.
I downloaded the one in the link. Your on nightlys right? do they seem stable enough for you? whats the best way to try those out? The github link is kinda over my head.

Cant forget having the ability to zoom while recording video. That's one of the big pluses of CM.
Well I found that the stock notification bar zip that I had on file won't work. I got the little blue android of death. After a quick reflash of cm6 all is well. still need that manup theme.
i'm on the 9/15 nightly. i think it was the 'swipe away items from the notification bar' feature or maybe a camera update that got me to flash up from the CM6final.
running it with -snap 7.6bfs kernel
currently, the CM6nightlys have slowed down so you just kinda keep an eye on the thread for nifty new features or updates...other than that, it's been very very stable for me since well before CM6final was released.

Bored

I think I'm going through ROM Boredom.
Seems like I've run through just about everything, and I need something new that gets me excited again.
I had all the best Froyo ROMS, and ran Koni III for a long time as a daily.
I've run the 2.1/3.0 ROMS, but they're really all the same, more or less. Going from Synergy back to MikG, just for the 2.2 updated version isn't turning me on. Although I do prefer the 3.0 stuff over the older versions.
I have no desire to run MIUI and have to deal with all my apps on the desktops (I hate that)
I'm still a little gun shy on CM7, after the rash of White Screen issues, which looks like they've subsided, plus, CM7 just doesn't really appeal to me. I like the spit and polish of sense.
I guess I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Unroot and return to stock? Who knows, of could be the "change" your looking for?
Lol.... Oh HELL no

I've been a little 'bored' as well .. at first I thought I was more or less content. Been jumping around lately and been on MIUI last week or so with a sweet theme. I use ADW EX anyways, so you get the drawer and don't have a cluster f*ck of apps on the screen. I never understood the hate, and with a theme you can really jazz it up. Been on it a few times but never hung around. Might just stick here for a while. It's pretty sexy.

Does ADW EX take away form any of the other desktop customizations, etc on MIUI?
AdW on Miui is great. I really like the drop down notifications and all the setting options you can retain with the mix of the two.
If you get really bored and want to try something different not on XDA, there is that UD rom. I've never tried it but have been close a few times.
That launcher7 on the market for free could hold you over for an hour or two also

Hmm, such as? I know it has different options for transitions and such, but as for that and maybe some widgets, I'm not too sure of the other little 'goodies.' Unless, of course, you mean themed icons and what not ... in which case, I've been using a specific set for what seems like ages. So, again, not sure. I've always just slapped another launcher on as I don't like the apps being on the desktop by default. ADW EX, obviously, has different transitions as well and the list for MIUI 'appears' to have similar ones ... so not sure how different they all are.
Haven't messed around with different lock screens as I just use Widgetlocker, so can't really comment on that either. I haven't had much time to mess around with the latest version (can't remember the last one I was even on) but I plan giving it a longer run this time around.
Might be worth checking out.
Sounds like we run similar setups with custom icons, widgetlocker, etc....
I might just have to give it a run, just for something different, and as long as the icons aren't on the desktops, then it loses the stupid iphone look.
One really good thing is going back to SBC AOSP kernels.
My battery will love me again.

Hipkat,
I was using UD 3.3.1 with the tiamat kernel for a long time (for me anyway) It was a nice change and was really stable. I only went to Synergy to see what the fuss was about ( and now I'm staying there for a while) I don't know whats up with it now though, Balckdroids site is down and has been for a while.
If you want to give it a whirl, let me know and I'll give you the zip.
I'll take a look at it. Thx!

OK, here they are.
Flash the UD rom first, then the GPS fix and google apps (these are newer than the ones bundled with the rom) then the tiamat kernel. You can do them all together and as always wipe cache/dalvik and data first.
Enjoy

CM7 isn't too flashy by default, but there are a ton of cool themes for it. And most of them use Theme Manager, which means you don't need to flash them -- you just install an APK and you can switch it up on the fly without even rebooting.
Have you tried using the kitchen to cook your own? I just did my own, but I can't flash it! Ha! No root!
Seen my post in General Forum?

SNS is pretty rad, 2.3, themed with Sense and NonSense, very fast and stable, no issues, crazy good battery life. And I get in the same mind games weekly it seems. I go from stock to custom 12 times over, back to stock, its an addictive habit that gets me in trouble with the fiance' most days! Just a thought, good luck!
lol, I'd probably work out more, if I wasn't sitting here playing with this phone almost every night....

Is gingerbread worth it over Froyo roms?

Hey guys im curious is there anyone who has been able to fully replace EC05 roms with one of the gingerbread roms availalbe? And in doing so keeping the stability, battery performance, and speed of the EC05 roms? I've personally gone from an amazing experience with ACS SFR 1.2 to Ginger Bamboozled and ERA hurricane rom and personally have not seen any benefits with keeping gingerbread. I notice no battery improvements and the phone has slowed down significantly. The only plus i've seen with gingerbread is the cool CRT off animation. Note i've never run the commands to stop processes that update in the background i.e. DRM and SNS, which from what I read make a fairly big difference with getting better battery life on EH17 roms. So at this point I'm thinking of going back to SFR 1.2 or another EC05 rom. Is there someone out there that can give me some useful tips on how to make the Gingerbread roms run smoother for me or am I just wasting my time? Also I used to get random Reboots on Gingerbread but i've noticed that it has stopped, odd. Oh almost forgot I use my keyboard all the time for writing emails for work and not having the skipped letters fix is so annoying. I want to shoot my phone sometimes.
Have you tried Spare Parts and setting all animations to FAST in it? I am on Bonsai B14 EG22 and my phone is about as fast as it was on EC05 ROMs. I do stop all processes when I first boot and have a few frozen with Titanium.

I don't care if that does anything for the actual speed or not...its a hell of a placebo effect. Another thing is you could oc with tegrak
As of right now, I don't see any advantage of using a Gingerbread Rom. I was in the same boat as you. I tried a few of them but due to the random reboots and keyboard skips, I couldn't take it anymore. I'm now using the Epic Revolution Rom and I love it. I won't be going back to Gingerbread till the official release.

Depends on the apps you have
I'm running the ERA OLYMPUS 1.6 EH06 ROM. I hoard apps and that's really bad for performance of the device and battery. I haven't frozen the SNS/Updates but I freeze the DRM every time I install a ROM anyway. I just managed to get all the apps that like running in the background to not do that by messing with the settings and clearing widgets. I can now last at least 5 hours on battery while actually using the phone. My battery life has been about the same on every ROM I've ever used. I would say to try this ROM with Journaling enabled and running Chris' new EH17 Plus kernel. I am also using the EH17 modem. Everything is working pretty well for me now.
No good reason to keep the leaks. However, if you are converted to ext4 and use the v6 supercharge script its as smooth and responsive as sfr 1.2 at 1.4ghz.

I've been dealing with the same dilemma the past week. I've found that there's really no pros to keeping the gb roms. Although I really like the theme on bamboozle as well as my quadrant stats. Speaking of which, can anyone tell me where I can get the SII lockscreen that comes with bamboozle? It's definitely my preferred lock screen. If anyone can help that'd be awesome thanks!
Thanks for good responses
Thanks guys for all the feedback, I think i'm being swayed more towards the EC05 roms until the release of gingerbread source files. I think the biggest thing now that look at it is the keyboard letter skips. I rely on my phones keyboard far to much to write really fast work emails and no matter how I setup my virtual keyboard or auto correction on TouchPal keyboard or Swype, its just not accurate enough and I waste more time trying to fix the auto corrections. Thanks again everyone and I really hope this thread assist others with making a their choices on which Rom to Choose or which version of Rom to choose. Froyo here I come.... now i gotta figure out if I want to go with Era or ACS lol.
In my opinion, no. After trolling all around using GB Leaks I finally came back to Froyo (Bonsai 4.1.3) because of the stability and speed.
I think its best just to wait for something official when it can be polished and tweaked with.
I too have been up and down the development pages, trying out different roms an modems, froyo and GB. Froyo was cool when i was using it, but I like the way GB looks. I actually had more problems with the Froyo roms than with GB roms, but that could be bc im getting better at rooting.
Right now im running RandomROM 2.3.4 on the EG22 modem with generation x theme. I get a couple of framework fc's throughout the day, but it doesnt seem to actually fc anything. I seem to just get the notification. battery life is amazing. I used to have to charge my phone after only 6 hours, even with light use. Now I dont need a charger until the end of the day, even with moderate to heavy use. I even use it as my wifi at home for xbox and whatnot. Touchpal's hardware prediction is pretty cool, although I havent really noticed much key skipping without it. I'm still new at rooting, so I don't do too much with oc and such.
I get about twice the battery life using RandomROMs hawk v4 vs any of the ec05 builds. Haven't experienced any TV's yet and only one random reboot after running the v6 script.

[Q] Best ICS Port Rom?

Even tho i promised myself that i won`t flash any other ROM till an OTA ICS, but my urge to try ICS became almost unstoppable. So my question is simple, which ICS port is the best to be a DD? Please report your opinions, thank you.
And sorry for another ICS post, I just had to

I'm still on Racings's original skyrocket port. I tried Easydoesit but was unstabble for me for some reason (even after several wipes/flashes) so I restored a nandroid of Racing's and I think Im done messing with these until the official ICS update rolls out OR one of the devs fixes the naggy little problems we have right now.
I'm very happy with Racing's Rom, its definitely a suitable DD for me. If Instagram worked I'd have practically no complaints! Hope that helps

easydoesit v2.2 was really stable for me...for most of the issues, i just wiped cache and fixed permissions and reboot and they were no longer there (the reboot/shut down bug or a couple of FCs)
i really wanted to stay on ICS because it was so smooth and the interface just looked so much nicer..."orientation control" is the app i chose for my auto-rotation work around...it puts a toggle in your notification bar and all you have to do is click on it and select portrait or landscape...this was actually better than auto rotate for me because on GB sometimes my apps would auto rotate when i didnt want them to when i barely tilt my screen
the ONLY issue and reason why i reverted back to GB is because you cant force orientation in the camera app...i got tired of rotation pics after i took them and you can't flip recorded videos so you have to record them in landscape mode
oh and for some reason i couldnt get root explorer to mount properly...it would mount but if i deleted anything it would magically reappear...but some people said they got it to work
thats as stable a ICS rom as your gonna find and the dev responds almost immediately
Ravers or easydoesit

[Q] Guys need some help/advice

There is something i really dont understand about the touchwiz roms compared to the jelly bean 4.2.2 roms in original development.. i listen to alot of music and i also play a few games here and there i have a deactivated device... but i love the overclocking and undervolting features from every rom that i can flash agat's recovery and kernel or blu kuban's kernel also (usually have it clocked to 50mhz-up to 1600mhz at the tops side because it runs like a dream) heres the problem yes i love having that feature but what kills it for me is i usually uninstall as much as i can from what i dont need in it because i am also on the uscc version of the e4gt (im on the SCH-R760) and then i proceed to install vepier4android also (link is down below for whoever needs to know what it is) i run both versions of it as well (fx and xhifi) along side the full version of poweramp off the market with dvc enabled and music fx checked in poweramp everything else off besides the limiter.. i cant get over the fact of how much better it sounds with every single 4.2.2 aosp/aokp/jelly bean rom out there in original development... but in android development touchwiz roms do not like this combination at all in any way.. i cant understand what it is.. the audio cuts out sometimes, treble and vocies cut down alot when bass hits (doesnt happen in 4.2.2 at all), just doesnt sit very well together.. also to add i unistall every other eq that i see with titanium backup and push both viper apps to system apps and still the same issue.. ive tried everything under the sun but cant come to a conclusion.. its killing me not having the extra cpu headroom from agat's and would seriously love some insight/explanation or possibly some ideas on how this could be fixed i will try anything to get this to go well together in touchwiz.. i can decompile and rezip roms and mess with settings before flash i can just about do anything just need to know what is wrong or what is conflicting with them or something... please anybody that has an idea let me know i would greatly appreciate it.. thanks in advance

Samsung adds in their own audio mods in TouchWiz, it really is just testing what works with what and finding what sounds best on YOUR device. All devices are different, that's why most include an app to tweak the sound. I love the Samsung Optimized AC!D Audio on my phone, it doesn't play well with my wife's E4GT, she uses Viper on TouchWiz. I haven't tried playing with AOSP Sound in awhile but if you try any of my ROMs they all have my combo audio mod on them. I've got a lot to say on this subject but I'll let you respond to see exactly where you are going with this.

that gives me alot more insight to the problem actually thank you lots bilg. but as to where im going with this mostly is i would love it so much to have touchwiz with alot of it taken out and zero audio mods so that the viper4android can be installed to where there is no issues like what i was receiving with me trying it or if there is a way to remove the tweaks from build.prop or elsewhere im sure i can do it myself i just dont know where everything that deals with audio mods (etc. acid audio) is located. and of course one of the overclocking kernels that reach 1600mhz or close (etc, agats and blu kuban kernel)
