I flashed to the newest SyndicateFrozen and it worked great until I started using the Browser. It locked up and I had to pull the battery. Same results with Dolphin Mini, DolphinHD, and the new Firefox. Anybody know if I missed something on the Syndicate page? Right now I'm going back to the Samsung distributed EB13 until I can find more information about this.

Have you tried clearing your cache, sometimes doing this helps. If not redoing the odin to EC05 has worked for me with other issues like force close.
I ended up using Samsung's EB13 update to get back to stock Froyo. Then installed CWM 2.5 with oneclick and restored my backup from after I had installed Syndicate Frozen (it's been a very slow day at work, I have time to mess around) and it seems to work with all browsers now. Essentially the only difference is I kept it from upgrading to EXT4.
I ran some benchmarks, which were quite underwhelming (seeing as when I was running DK28 they were well over this)
Quadrant: 1032
Linpack: 13.92
Smartbench 2010: 1093/2462 (also well under the 1ghz for stock Epic 4g 2.2)
If you get freezes regularly in anything at all, read the message that has been posted many times about using an alternate kernel. You can also try VisionKernel in lieu of the one linked clearly throughout the thread and in the second post under Changelog.
I should have included in the original post that I did a lot of searching throughout the thread and tried loading the Twilight_Zone kernel as recommended. After that my phone wouldn't load. I tried reloading the original modem with ODIN and nothing. I tried restoring to various backup points and just decided a fresh start was fine with me.
I hadn't seen anything about Visor Kernal. I'll give that a shot another day, but for today I'm wiped out on monkeying with this thing. I'm just glad I have a stable phone at the end of the day.

I should also note what I've done since.
I used Samsung's tool to get back to stock Froyo. Then used one click root to get CWM 2.5 back on there and restored the backup that I had made AFTER installing the Syndicate Frozen ROM. That was on accident, I had a lot of backups on there and wasn't sure which one was which. It loaded up perfectly fine. So I'm running Syndicate Frozen, but without CWM3 (and I suppose without EXT4 filesystem). And it works fine right now.

That's not a recommended configuration in the slightest.
I had the same problems even with the other kernel. I finally went to Bonsai 4.0 with EC05 and I have not had my phone freeze.
Its nice.
Its nice.
So.. A eb13 modem and a ext4 backup running on stock file system...
I predict big problems on the horizon
Everything worked perfectly until I tried to pair Bluetooth. Then she froze. I couldn't get it to fail any other way than with bluetooth. Fun experiment, though. I though I had a backup from before using CWM to convert to EXT4, but that isn't the case. I'm now running EB13 on CWM3 (which converted to EXT4, but no problems in the 12 hours I've given it).
My main reason for starting this Q&A post was to point out that I had tried the ROM and its recommend fixes that I could find in what I consider a reasonable amount of time/searching so that the developer might catch it and look into it if he/she so desired.
I want to note that I don't feel entitled to anyone's hard work other than my own. I'm perfectly happy following all instructions and finding that for me it didn't work. I might get a little miffed if I brick the phone but Samsung has made a product that remains quite resilient after all the modding real developers do, and the torture we tinkerers do. So to k0nane especially, thanks for the hard work. I'll keep reading through the forum and maybe try what Badbeats suggested with Bonsai 4.0 some time next week when I'm not so busy at work.
Seriously, you developers are amazing.
I had flashed SRF 1.1.0 and was running it with no issues. I tried the Vision kernel and got random lockups mostly after being plugged in and unused for awhile (maybe an hour or so). I flashed back to the Twighlight Kernel and it's been solid as a rock.
Being that I've only owned the phone a few weeks and have flashed/restored it at least a dozen times, I feel confident that it's running stable at this point. Once you mess it up a few times, you'll learn pretty quickly
