Gingerbread so far so good - Epic 4G General

I can't seem to find one thing wrong with this rom everything for me is running perfect. No more freezing,force closing slow boot up pretty much everything that was wrong with froyo fixed. I am very please with this rom.

Anyone know if roam control still works with this ROM? I use it quite a bit to use VZW 3g since Sprints has been broken for almost a year here.

I thought roam control only made it 1x speed?

Ok. This rom is almost there but I might go back froyo tomorrow. What bothers me is the lack of gpu power. Its not ext4 and not overclock. And I get a slight lag frame per second drop in a rithmic maner. It happens all around the phones os and apps. Like tapatalk.. Flick Scroll down a thread and when u bottom out u see a stutter jerky fps drop. Not big but I see it.

Roam control works great on EF02 (as does everything it seems) ... I just used it yesterday to roam off Verizon all day.

I notice very little lag, if at all, on EF02. Are you on stock? marcusant's i1 has some tweaks in there to make the kernel even faster. Honestly, it's faster than some of the EXT4 OC'd ROMs I've used.

force close both in froyo and this Gingerbread sometimes.

Try using navigation for more than 15 minutes. that's the only problem I've seen so far. It shuts the gps down.

+1 on this, Loving EF02 with EF10 modem so far. I'm running it stock, rooted with the ACS EF02 CRTmod and it's solid, smooth, and is giving me the best battery life I've had so far.
Roam control works fine for me. The only issue I've had is the EF02 modem crashing, but with the EF10 modem it's been fine.

Not to offend, but you're pretty critical about performance as well, right?

So I've only had my phone a week or so and I haven't noticed this lag everyone seems so concerned about it. When does it occur?
I've tried a few and found Chainfire's to be the best so far (v1.8).

I can't say I noticed a ton of lag before trying any of these fixes (although I do have ~200 apps installed) but after CF's fix my phone just flies.

Mines just as fast as the video without the fix, I came from a n1 with 2.2 on cyanogen rom and this phone is just as fast. I've been running this same rom since release, rooted and have over 120 apps installed. My market is easily just as fast as the dudes video in the OP.... maybe I'm lucky, or I don't know. I did a fix and didn't realize a difference .
I'd like to see a side by side comparison with a sgs with the lag fix and one without... then again I don't have a gps issue either, well its useable easy.. use it daily.

Does anyone else think JK2 isn't quite ready yet?

I've tried most of the Froyo ROMs out there (except Eugene's, but I assume it isn't much different... I could be wrong). Anyways, everyone says it's stupid fast, but I just don't see it. Even with a lag fix.
Also whenever I scroll, most notable in LauncherPro or maybe scrolling through the picture stream at the bottom of the facebook app, it seems to studder. Which bugs me to no end for some reason.
I want to make the jump to Froyo, I really do. I tried using Froyo roms as my daily driver but I couldn't do it, I always come back to JI6 for some reason.
As a side note, I'm not really sure why, but I keep going back to stock JI6 instead of Fusion for some reason, ODIN seems easier to me hahaha.
Anyhow is anyone else seeing any similar problems? Also is this due to the kernel?
Dude, there is an issue on your end. My froyo FLIES.

I've always had the lag on facebook because my 3G connection couldn't keep up. I've never had LauncherPro lag... its insanely fast IMO. Try ODIN repartition to JFD and then flash a ROM on top of it. I'm using Team Whiskey's Onyx R4 btw.

Also it's not due to internet. It is when you scroll the pictures on the selection screen (profile, friends, etc)
It's not lag, it's subtle studders. It'll start scrolling smoothly, then all the sudden it will jump back up for a second and keep scrolling down.
Fail.
I also tried some of existing JK2-based roms. I suspect even the eugene's odin rom be not a pure JK2 rom. I'd appreciate the thankful efforts by devs, though. Anyways, I also always kept coming back to JI6 for some issues. That some don't suffer from issues doesn't mean that others don't either. In my case, there were intermittent force closes randomly, FYI.
I'm running Axura and love it.

I tried Axura earlier today and had the same issues. Loved the rom though. The animations are so awesome.

This happens on JI6 when using the Friends widget. It may simply be the way the data is loaded into the control, and drawing the pictures can perhaps be somewhat of a reason. I haven't really troubleshooted it much, so I can't say for sure.
I just stopped using the widget. When I had an HTC phone the sense widget did not have this issue, and it was the same base OS (Android 2.1). I'm having a hard time blaming this on the OS itself.
Lag... Stutters... I say semantics.

Eh, new PRL 60672

Dunno how long it's been out for, just giving us non-senseUI (the only real way to use a Hero ) users a heads up that it's available.
Edit: oh yea, and for the sense users that don't check often..
If you update and it gives you ****ty (my bad), worse service or whatever go HERE and look at either the OP or the 2nd post for links to download older PRL versions.
Must be relatively new. Wiped back to factory and rerooted on Wednesday. Did all the updates 3 times to be sure and mine is still at 60671.

did you really "reroot", cuz going to a sense rom should not cause root loss i keep a nand of sense (nfx's rom) and just restore it, update, fastboot to recovery, restore CM and I'm good to go...
to the OP: have you noticed "****tier service"? or any difference really, usually prl does nothing noticable for me.... let me know

Service in my calc class went from 105db(basically none) - 100db. otherwise it's all relatively the same. Maybe 5db more in spots.. but nothing worse nor a drastic increase

thanks for that, no need to do the 20 minute process for me then
The comment about nonsense being theonly way to use ahero isn't true anymore. The new Sprint ruu that nfx modded is better than aosop. Cm and all the rest. I've tried them all. Runs faster.no fc. Better batterylife. And has all the sense goodies. No lag at all.

Mine runs plenty fast, no lag, no fc's ever. I'm running a custom compiled CM6.1 rom. Battery lasts longer than I need. More internal space as compared to sense for installing apps. LauncherPro's widgets look nicer and run smoother imo, I can set it to have only 2 homescreens without the extra bulk UI on the phone. Native a2sd. Slicker stock keyboard.
CM addons/settings are a plus too. Notification power control widget, lockscreen controls, UI color edits, etc.
umad?
But to be serious and all that; I'm partial to aosp mainly because I can compile it relatively easily and the android SDK is aosp. So it's practically all I've used for the past 8 (i think) months.
As you said - it's not particularly true anymore since there are senseUI roms that run extremely smooth and quick. It usually comes down to what exactly a person is looking for in a rom.
I still use lp over sense with the new ruu. But I ran cm and aosop for about a year. And I never went more than an hour without some kind of problem. That's why I was so happy that the new Sprint ruu runs so great. It even has aps2sd. And launcherpro adds some extras that you get from froyo. I honestly can't tell the difference. Not to mention my iheartradio would not work on cm or aosop. I'm so happy to have rovers morning glory back. I'm not mad. Lol. Just letting you know that there is a better Rom out there for heros than the cm6.

Xoom lag issues

Anyone else have lag issues when unlocked, rooted, with oc'd kernel installed running at any speed. I mostly notice when coming out of standby mode. Text input on web pages is considerably slow, also loading of web pages. When opening apps it doesn't seem to be affected other than movie playback. Any feedback would be appreciated.....

Oh one other thing....when I first installed OC it was running like wildfire, the longer I'm running it the worse it is getting. Yes the cache was cleared, any other ideas?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Same issue here, not sure of any fix though.
this happens to me too but it never lastes more than a min or two.
hmmm i havent noticed this at all. have been overclocked for a little over 2 weeks with only a couple restarts due to theme installs
i mean it isn't something that is super noticable for me but sometimes my keyboard lags for a couple mins but then it gets back to normal. i mean it is expected when you have a device that still hasn't had its "official full" update lol.
This makes my Captivate feel like butter. Apple has nothing to worry about.
Its disappointing, to say the least.

Yeah, but compare this experience with stock on the Captivate (cause it's not even close to Serendipity), and that's a whole different comparison
It took a while for good, stable kernels to come out for the Captivate as well. Hopefully Google changes their mind about the source code once the rest of these tablets start coming out, and then we might get some of your fantastic meals for the Xoom too!

No kidding. Flash back to stock Eclair on the Captivate to turbo charge your Xoom.
If you are running performance mode with setcpu and have a min freq above 250, the CPU will drop to 250 when you turn screen off and not go above it.
Simple fix is to keep setcpu on "on demand", but you can also keep it on performance and manually bump the freq up by going into setcpu every time you turn the screen on.

Yea, the only time i lags for me is when i am scrolling via browser or something with a lot of texts / graphics. I would assume a dual 1Ghz would be more smooth than this.

You have something wrong then. I do not have that experience. In fact, if I try to do some intense things like video recording using your Captivate ROM, my phone chokes where my Xoom does not. Granted, the Xoom does lag for me with certain things, mostly certain web sites in the browser including this site, the overall responsiveness has been just as good or better than my Captivate with your ROM.
Perhaps you should be more specific on what you have installed, how your screens are configured, what widgets you are using, etc. so maybe the culprit can be identified. Are you full stock with nothing installed and experiencing this?
I disagree. You have a bad unit or your doing something wrong. Back off the bashing.

This is true. When i had it set to performance i noticed significant lag. When i changed it to on demand it became much smoother.

Upload issues again?

Hey guys,
I know this was an issue on release, that was fixed, but now I notice (ec05 sfr, genocide latest) I'm having almost the same issues. Anyone else notice the upload test runs for half a second, stalls, moves a tad, stalls, and gets abysmal scores? Or is it just me. (No I haven't done a hard reset yet, that was my next plan. Just didn't wanna waste the time/effort if it was a known issue).
Sent from my pocket rocket
I have always had this issue on every epic rom I can remember. I don't know anything about it however...
3G speed tests have ALWAYS been twitchy and sporadic on the Epic. 4G looks like any normal speed test on a PC while 3G the needle looks like a feigning meth addict trying to hold a pen straight.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
While I agree they've always been wonky, I feel like it was much better back in 2.1 after the fix came out. I feel like it was never great but at least testable, and with results higher than 200kbps... maybe some devs could shine some light on the root cause of the problem? For that matter, anyone have better luck on the flakey gingerbread build that's been floating around?

Try the EB13 modem, or blame Sprint.
I have tried both EB13 and EC05 modems on SFR1.1 and did not notice a difference. I consistently get 80-150kbps upload speeds at home in front of an Airave (compared to 1600-1800 down). I can't really complain since my Epic is a pure "3G device." I did have it test at 600-800 at a Dunkin Donuts a few days ago which is a 1 in 100 shot it seems.

Lol, will try the eb13 modem, but I'm not trying to play a blame game. Just resolve an issue. And it's hard to blame sprint when I know I'm getting fairly good 3g down speeds (although my moms new thunderbolt has me seriously considering lte. 14 down 4 up...just waiting to see what happens when they roll out the caps...
