NO, Bionix is 2.2 based.
Frost is 2.2.1 based.

I'm sorry, but this ROM was terrible, for me, at least. It had incredible lag, to say the least. It wouldn't boot anything in less than a minute. I'm going back to Bionix until this is better.

for me it was all good especially after the update...its running very smooth...the only problem i have is the voicemail notification problme....anyone???

I just straight flashed from bionix v1.2.1 to Frost full-wipe and haven't had such problems. GPS and maps are working, and no lag on menu. This ROM feels more smooth than bionix v1.2.1.

Same here everything is perfect no problems after da update and now my vibrant is faster then ever I love this forst im goin to use it intil miui is done.....

I made a lot of tweaks for speed after the initial release. So if you only tried Frost before the update id suggest downloading it again.
As far as vm notifications, ill check it out tomorrow.

Vm notifications have to do with the visual voicemail app. I personally use gvoice so I never noticed it but people report it works now after adding it back in.

Ok got it fixed you were right....i installed the visual voicemail app and it got fixed...thanks for all the help

[Q] *2 Crashes Dialer

Just noticed this today, and not that it is really a big deal more of just a weird thing. I am wondering if anyone has encountered this and if so if there is a fix.
I noticed the when i dial *2 I get a force close and it basically kills the phone, I have to reboot to get it performing right again. I don't get that if I dial *3 or *7 or any other number. Everything else works fine
I have made a number of enhancements to my Phone so any of them could of been the cause since I never use *2:
Recovery: RA 2.2.2
Rom: Stock 3.70
HBoot: 2.10
PRI: 1.90_003
Removed Proxy For Internet (Helped with Xbox Live)
Suspecting one of these might of broke it:
Kernel: 2.6.32.27 Netarchy-toast mod 4.3.1 bfs-havs-nosbc
Circle Battery Mod
Thanks

What rom are you using? There is an apk needed for it to work. iirc it's named sprint provider or something. It's usually removed as bloat.

I believe its espt.apk

It's called Sprint Zone

OP updated with a method to root stock EH06.

I updated today and am generally pleased. It is fast, no lag, some improvements in appearance.
Sadly, the keyboard is still an issue. It misses letters like before.
The biggest miss is the "Logs" on the Talk screen. It remains unconsolidated, unlike a true Gingerbread device. My son's Nexus consolidates the Log to one entry per contact, then you click them to see the activity. With this, if you trade 20 texts with someone, you get 20 lines of the same person. It was utterly ridiculous in a beta version and to still have it in 2.3.x is just inexcusable.
Aside from that though, all is smooth. Used Odin to root with CWM, flashed SU, and life is better.
UPDATE: GPS will not lock. When it does and it loses it, it won't come back. Also, there is no "back" function on the stock browser. Hitting the previous screen key closes the browser.

I've tried this on windows xp and my epic got bricked i can get into download mode, but the only pc that recognizes my epic is the same that bricked it, really don't know what to do, i can't odin it to stock rom or any rom, i'm kinda desperate, can anyone help me please? thanks a lot!

GPS and Gingerbread

I'm currently on my third Epic and thought I finally got one that wouldn't give me issues (The first kept locking up, the second didn't have a working proximity sensor) but the third turned out to have some crazy GPS issues.
GPS would randomly turn off and say it was trying to connect and stay that way. Even in crystal clear skys when not moving, the GPS would just not work. Sometimes it would work only to lose connection a few minutes later.
I took it into the Sprint store and the only thing they could do for me was just flash the phone back to 2.2.
Is this purely the Gingerbread update not working (when it comes to GPS) or have other people experienced no problems with GPS on stock gingerbread?
Basically I'm debating whether I should call customer service and complain until I get a new one, try the gingerbread update again and hope it works this time, or root and hope the GPS works as well.
Any help is well appreciated.

The GPS is very wonky on the ei22 update... I would root and flash a different rom. All of the roms have the gps fix... if you would like to stay stock there is a gps fix floating around somewhere that you can flash over stock rooted ei22

No need if you have root permissions go into es file manager ( if you have it if not get it) go into your favorites and open the / or the phone icon go to the system file then find the vendor file then go to the bin file and hold the gpsd file there and go into its properties and check this:
X X X
X O X
X O X
Make sure your checks look like that

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.

I think that was the one I used but since I have it saved with a different filename I figured I'd upload mine as it definitely worked on a stock EI22.

[Q] EL30 vs MTD or just wait

So I've stuck with BML through several different Roms. I originally rooted because I needed working gps and wifi. I had decided I was going to switch to MTD this weekend but now I'm not so sure. Any suggestions?

If I was in ur spot I would probably just wait and see what happens with el30
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

There's no gps fix in el30 as far as I've seen... just make the move eventually they will have el30 mtd roms within a week or two
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

cm7 or miui ROM is best for me... Im using miui and not switching til cm9 gets here.. try miui rom and u will see wat i mean..LOL
its different with more feature than TW roms has to offer..

Hmmm..I guess I would wait for your favorite ROM to do all the upgrades, grab the modem and then convert to MTD. Should be about a week.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I switched to MTD so I could run CM7, as well as my FAV ROM that I converted over, but besides the loads of extra space, it hasn't been much different.
If you want to try CM7, backup your fav BML setups, convert them to MTD, install CM7, the switch as you like.
But unless you are going to checkout CM7, I would stick with BML until EL30 ROMs come out, then jump.
This Epic post as brought to you via Tapatalk

sounds like a good time to try CM7 or MIUI.US. ran cm7 for a week, switched to MIUI.US for a week.
Most likely the devs will come out with a good MTD rom do you don't have to odin back to RFS to go back to EL30.

Id say just switch to mtd, EL30 ROMs will be kind of cripple or in beta for a bit since mods have to be ported and debugged

After using CM7 there's just no going back... tons of features. Love the ability to revoke permissions from apps.

This +9000. I am readying an MTD of EI22 for my rom, its out to testers to make sure nothing is borked. EL30 is currently low on my list until someone proves it is completely CIQ-free.

lol EL30 is just a fix we have already had on cm7 and most any other EI22 rom for months now i say waste of time stick with MTD CM7 is a dream and with now official nightly updates it gets no better then that.

CM7 sounds really good, but is it ready for daily use in a business? I can flash every couple weeks and need emails, texts, gps navigation and working phone. I don't mind testing and installing different apps but reading the cm7 thread... well maybe it is just some of the noob questions. Is it ready for daily use?

Okay
Emails - works just the same
Texts- the only issue with this is that you have to go into the messaging settings and split messages(not really an issue but there's a fix)
Gps- works better than on TouchWiz ROMs although I've never used navigation
Phone- only sight difference is when a call is ended it says "call lost" mightve been fixed idk don't make to much calls myself. But once again not really an issue, the call still ends the same.
So as you see its more than ready for daily use

Well email app has no way to pick "always show pictures" so using K9 is better.
MMS does not send over wifi with stock mms.apk but works with GoSMS.
Calls end normally now from what I saw.
There are even some ported TW stock apps in Apps subforum.

Yes, that is what happens but it is more like 50/50, like it doesn't wait long enopugh for 3G to connect. But GoSMS doesn't switch to 3G, sends right over wifi.

I remember reading a change log on the recent nightlies where the mms over wifi was fixed.
