Home Of The AIO Mod For EC05.​

I have updated and merged necrosan's wifi tether mod and mkasick's volume rocker mod together, as they change the same framework.jar. This means that Sprint Hotspot will work freely without an additional Wifi Tether app, and that your volume rocker can now seamlessly transition from silent, to vibrate, to loud. Included in this conglomeration are also maddoggin's lockscreen mod. This will currently remain known as the AIO mod, and version 1 is the latest. It is included in the Phoenix Blue EC05 theme.

To any rom/theme developers: Feel free to utilize this mod but be sure to reference myself and all aforementioned developers involved. It took a lot of time and effort to make these great features play nicely and it's important to keep the original creators in the loop.



This rom is a personal hobby of mine to maintain the greatest battery life that I can. I've scoured the forums searching for the newest and greatest tweaks, mods, etc. to include, and then carefully tested them all for battery performance. I've also made additional changes and additions all my own. As such, this rom has compiled the excellent work of many great developers into my own ideas and configurations. Contained within are many useful apps pre-installed as well as an effort to replicate my exact setup which has yielded me 1-2% battery loss per hour maximum when idle!

All included apps have been RandomKing-Approved to conform with the best battery usage. I'm always on the lookout for more tweaks, possible thematic changes, etc., however this version is the last major revision last based on EC05. There should be no issues, but should I happen to find one, I may simply release a patch or quietly switch out the upload version.

Many of you have complained that others achieve much better battery life. The goal of RandomRom is to provide MY setup that's provided me with great battery life. Further details possibly important details will be made available in post 2. Any other information can be found on my site along side the download links.

  Or remove the update.

How do I use my own ringtone, alarm, and notification mp3s?

1. Create a folder on your SD card called "media".
2. Inside of that create "audio".
3. Inside of that create:

Will try, thanks for your hard work and for keeping the Dev community alive here at Epic 4G XDA.

Question: How did GPS perform for you?

GPS tends to work pretty well for me. However, as a note on most roms I've tried, it usually works better after a reboot. At it's best, it locks on in seconds, at it's worst, up to a minute generally.

Looks good random appreciate the hard work.. seems like our hobbies are pretty aligned haha. My hobby is battery life

So this looks to be based on srf 1.2? Is that correct?

As a srf user what are the main differences? I see it uses geno and journaling is enabled, any other big changes?

It was originally based on my love for SFR 1.1. From there I set about incorporating in everything I could find or think of from no2chems bionic mod to theimpaler's speed demon keyboard tweak, to the tw date fix. Then I went back and rebuilt the rom to clean things up a bit. I've baked in my shortcut terminal commands to freeze drm, sns, and updates in order to preserve more battery(couldn't make them autorun). Patched together my own version of a theme, made some other rewrites, switched out some apps, aimed towards more black pixel usage and transparent apps(thanks impaler!). Re-downgraded the bionic update from 1.1 to 1.0 to solve issues people were having with wifi connections, added back in media uploading, etc. etc. It's gone through various revisions as I continue to use it myself, throw out certain parts, change others, find new mods that can help preserve yet more battery, etc. Baked in journaling, but also included a non-journaled version. Also, journal on/off cwm flash-ables will be copied to your sd card, should you change your mind later, along with the cwm 3.1.0.1 update. Tried to keep it as functional and slick as ever. And included Rodderick's Genocide 1.0 as that's still my favorite kernel .

I did make it a point to re-use the same data backup code employed by SFR, as I like to switch back and forth between roms. I, myself, am a connoisseur of roms and a flash-aholic. That said, I haven't tried sfr 1.2 personally, so I can't say how this compares.

Thanks for the ROM update. Any plans on Gingerbread ROM?

This 2.2 version is final. I know, silly idea since I just brought it to an xda thread and only a few people followed me here through all revisions and a few more at androidcentral...

But yes, my new hobby is Gingerbread.

Why include ATK? Why not recommend it to people?

Most don't need a task killer and such task killers can hurt more than help... from my experience anyways..

On other note, This looks very well thought out and I will def give it a try!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Task killers are effective if certain system processes are NOT closed, ie things that will interrupt your service and shouldnt be closed, and if auto-kill is not enabled. I have pre-configured it for both of these concepts. It will only close what can safely be closed, when you tell it to.

Of course, you can just ignore/uninstall it too.

But remember, NEVER USE AUTOKILL.



One more thing... open ATK. Take a look at what it's ready to kill. Kill everything(including ATK itself). Wait 1-2 minutes. Open ATK again, and notice if anything that you just killed is open again. These are un-kill-able, and you're wasting battery trying, so simply add them to the ignore list. Best way to optimize a task killer. You also may want to set it to ignore your music, etc.

So this is not using the latest Genocide kernel (v1.1)?

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

No sir. I like 1.0 a lot. But feel free to flash 1.1 over this rom if you'd prefer. It works just fine.
