So I a have a weird problem. My signal level jumps about 30 dB up and down all day long in 3g mode and 4G. What could be the culprit? Already did batt pull and sim pull.

Probably the tonsit compiled kernel. When I used the tonsit install with the PBJ kernel he also compiled I ran into a slew of problems, that was one of them. The other issue I had is after installing ANYTHING from CWM like the Swype KB or TransparentICS theme I couldn't use the Home button anymore.

If you can, roll back to EP4D. OTA to FP1. Installed Tweaked 2.0, reboot, then install imnuts kernel, then Tweaked 2.1 and you should no longer have any issues.

EDIT: @OP Might want to make it more prominent that tonsit does have issues for a portion of users and what to look for. Just my $0.02.

EDIT2: You CANNOT go from Tonsit to Imnuts kernel with just a CWM flash, I think this might be because of Ext4 but don't quote me on that. Just know that when I tried it it caused the framework to self-destruct and could not boot after installing the kernel.
No more theme development for me...too much work for a thankless job :P

Gonna step up my game to an HTC One on 4/19!

Default live wallpaper

Thanks for all your hard work. This is definitely the best ROM yet. I have a question regarding the livewallpaperSpark.apk file. Is it possible to change the color of this live wall paper?

Well tbh it's stuff like this that had 2.0 released as /system only. I've not had a problem with either of these kernels when bundled together, but this phone is nothing short of unpredictable, regardless of how careful you test things it seems. I'll go back to the /system-only approach for the next update - the only reason I changed was folks seemed to want the bundled stuff. While of course all of this stuff is use-at-own-risk and all know that, I haven't seen enough of a clamor with the kernel used here as the culprit yet to make any definitive claims either way. As always - sorry folks for the troubles - outside of testing out the other official pbj variants I've been using this particular pbj variant for the majority of the last 2ish months with no issue at all. I assumed all was well, but you know what they say about assuming I suppose.
If you like what I've done... I like sammiches so feel free to buy me one!

This signal dropping just started a couple of days ago. I don't think it's a rom issue. Since I tried the bundled package, then fixed everything, I had no issues for a while up until now. I find it hard it to believe the system coding will change without su write access.... Hmmm

not to call you out and to quote you on that , but I've had positive success with going from Tonist to Imnuts (and back-and-forth) via CWM. the only issue that I have run into is going to stock FP1. Stock FP1 is RFS only. I'm currently on EXT4.

right now though, I'm running an experiment to see which of the 5 kernels (Stock FP1, Tonsit, 0502, 0504, 0524) gives me the best battery life.

I like the all-in-one packages - makes the process much more problem-free.

I got this phone a very long time ago. I have been through almost every rom and kernel several times....from all the way back to gummy on froyo. I WAS just using tweaked 2.1/tonsit pbj kernel and everything seemed to be going well for about 2-3 weeks until it took a dump on me and started force closing everything out of the blue. Since fp1 came out i have been basically odin'ing back to ep4 stock everytime and reflashing and trying different variations. I think im gonna just stay stock rooted with cwm for now....i almost wanna flash a kernel but i dunno....getting frustrated with all the quirkiness......2.1 has been the best ROM so far though. Plus i am one of the few fans of poop and pumpkin, lol

Oh yea, any recomendations for responsiveness and performance running the stock kernel rfs format of course?

Get rid of as many system apps as possible...on the OP of this thread, there is a link for build prop edits...check it out...some useful tweaks that help with smoothness

Is there a CWM .zip to go back to full stock ep4, or is Odin our only option... I've never came across a CWM flashable stock image but man that would be awesome. I'm sure recovery is an issue though... lol... thanks...

I haven't seen one - but probably b/c that would require wiping out that version of CWM. also, you need to Odin back to stock to use the pit file (which I'm not sure if there is a CWM for that).

@shoguniggy: try flashing in one of IMNUTS kernels. sometimes installing a new kernel can help...
