so basically this is an odin tar that gets me everything stock but no CIQ and CWM? its like the odin tar that came out when 2.2 eb13 was released that gave you 2.2 eb13/ext4/root/cwm 3.0.0.6 but everything was still stock looking

I will assume that this is what it is, so if so then this is just what is needed to go back to stock and not have to deal with any more odin'ing

if you stay on rfs will you get ota updates? or ext4 as well I guess
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Lol like I said I've been better off with this leak..

Psh I thought the exact same thing before I tried this out.

Btw anyone keep thinking this is an ef02 thread and when they see ext4 and nociq the get excited? Lol

[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
I'm just a bit confused. Which link in the first post is the link for the actual ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Willo13B:
I think the links to the actual rom are not up yet...

keep pressing F5 like me :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
No, this thread hasn't been updated in a bit. I thought the original version was still there that's why I bumped it for Kafluke.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
Well does anyone have a link for the original? I'll even take that at this point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Willo13B:
Boooo...I was kinda liking the idea of this rom :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
This thread has SERIOUSLY been lacking in the update department for a long while now...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I think he let it go by the wayside once he started working on EF02 Plus but it may not be abandoned all together. We will have to wait for the man himself to provide some feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Ahh yes I need to update this.. maybe tomorow ill work on it I I get time... its not abandoned until official GB
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Good news...Ignore my PM. I should have checked back here first. There you go Kafluke!

[Epic 4G Android Development] diptenkrom:
i am real excited about this... have been running the original version since right after it came out. have had no problems until last week or so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
Have you updated your string and cans yet lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] aleph23:
Any chance of a public beta?

Edit: :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
So.... is this ROM dead because of EF02Plus?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Chris is busy working on an asop kernel with rodderik I believe....really no time for this.

SINNN, you make me laugh with your posts but if we lose Chris41g, that would be a huge blow to this community. I know you are kidding but Chris does some impressive work. If he has more important projects to work on, the more power to him.
[Epic 4G Android Development] aleph23:
You speak the truth. But sadly, testers have had this for a while (assuming it actually made it out to any of them, no confirmation, but this was stated above when the initial 2.0 release was pulled). I'd really just love a fully disclaimered public beta. Please?

Or for someone to post the version they were able to d/l before it was pulled. Perhaps we could take it from here.

There are a few of us out here that have very finicky phones and this is the only modded froyo rom we've gotten to run with any luck whatsoever.

For me, my phone has been rooted and modded since last september, but for whatever reason froyo roms kill my phone - black screen lock - with all but this rom. The best roms where nebula til dev stopped, then this. Bully to all of you who can run other roms, but I for one am stuck on only the most stable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
yea budd still stuck :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] engine95:
You might want to look at the updated bionic. For me, 1.1 broke wifi, but 1.0 works just fine. Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
if you are having wifi problems try flashing this and see if it works

[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Works fine....Im stupid I forgot u had to turn the phone off and hold 1 -_-
[Epic 4G Android Development] southparkeric:
i am running Windows 7 64bit and using oden just fine,, check your drivers...
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
Man..I guess there is no way around doing a full wipe? Finally got my phone the way I want it and now you come out with this!! :mad:

I really want to get rid of CIQ but I don't think it's worth starting all over.

EDIT: So if i create a nandroid backup, odin this, and then restore, will i have all my data/settings and get rid of CIQ? I'm currently using your original version (EC05 Stock, pre-rooted, deodexed). I know I'd have to reflash the kernel that I'm using (DRockstar clean stock) but I'm not sure if restoring data would just revert me back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
So I did a backup in cwm, flashed this in odin, flashed DRockstars kernel, then restored in cwm but it just brought me back to where I was when I made the backup without removing CIQ. How do I get it to just restore my data/settings? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
I am using win 7 x64 and odin'd this literally yesterday.

SRF killed the battery and bricked my first Epic (straight-up brick, the only thing that showed it wasn't just a dummy phone was that it got warm when plugged in to a charger) and from the way my brand-ass new replacement Epic was acting, was planning on murdering THAT one in the same fashion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] J666Diablo:
No Joy :(

now its not authenticating the password.

UPDATE:

reflashed the rfs version and applied the update and now I'm up and running :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
This worked for me. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperwitagun:
Haven't used it yet, but its exactly what I need until cm7 is out of alpha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
acs has had its share of bricks. So has er body else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Does this ROM have 1x/3G icon support? If it does, then this is 100% perfect.

Also, will it be fine if I flashed a kernel that had voodoo enabled? I've learned that I cannot live without it. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Anyone having video player problems?

I was trying to show a customer how great the quality of the video camera was but videos would not play back. I also used a external video player app, didn't work either

It just may be a simple re-flash I have to do but thats going to have to wait till after my shift is over :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
I flashed Drockstars clean kernel which had the voodoo sound enabled and don't have any problems. You should be ok
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
Huge fail when trying to use the vid camera. Starts recording and one second later it force closes and says video failed, when I hit ok, it says camera failed.

Maybe need to replace the video apk..

EDIT: replaced the camera.apk that bypasses the low battery warning and I'm still getting the same thing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
I know it is a simple thing, but I hate the battery icon. Do any of the flashes for the percentage mod work on this? I guess I can always just try and reflash if needed..
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Very poorly placed blame. If you got a brick, it was from VisionKernel 1.2. And the freezes you think were signs of an imminent brick are nothing even remotely of the sort - their solution is simple. Just flash VisionKernel 1.1 or Genocide.

Please check your facts before trying to assign blame for "bricks" on something that cannot - has not ever - and will never cause a single one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
+1 SRF was not the cause of the brick in any way... noone who flashed SRF alone got bricked.. you had to flash VisionKernel 1.2

That being said, freezing wasnt a symptom of the brick, atleast not for mine. it kinda came out of nowhere.

Either way, I'll check the camera problem now, before i upload a new tar fixing wifi. And if stock doesnt have 1x icons, then this doesnt either because i didnt change any icons.

BTW k0nane, thanks for the source tar, and the NOCIQ work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
In the stock framework-res.apk, I noticed it had 1x and 3g icons, inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Am I going crazy or do the signal bars there not represent the active ones in the stock rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
hi, is the update with wifi fix coming today? thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] urbanlegends08:
help

Ok so if I odin back to ORIGINAL 2.1 eb05 i think, can I just odin the link? I dont know what the difference with CWM 2.5, and CWM 3.0 is, and have no idea what RFS vs EXT4 is either. Which link would I have to download? Im a very casual phone modder if you cant tell
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
I'm using the genocide kernel, could it be we're switching kernels that's messing the video player up?

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
No its not the kernel.. I tried it out and stock its not working. And its not the apk either. So it must be a lib or a framework. Ill narrow it down tonight.

As far as the wifi fix, flash the the update.zip I linked a page back or so. Its no2chems bionic 1.0 instead of 1.1

You can flash ext or rfs, the choice is up to you, the ext version will be more compatible with future roms, but less stock. Its also a little faster than rfs. It also gives you the ability to flash a rom in the future that enables you to turn journaling off making it even faster at the risk of data corruption (not worth it imo).

I personally use ext4. As does, I would say, most of this ccommunity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
So what's going to be as close to stock rom for now? I've been using the AOSP rom for a while now

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I'm not sure of the question, but the aosp is not a stock rom.. its a heavily moldified version of the stock rom made to look like an aosp rom... we don't have any aosp other than cm6 or 7...

When I say stock I mean stock samsprint. As in released by carrier/manufacturer..
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Oh I know that, basically what its the closets to stock rom out there.

I've been rom jumping not knowing which I like best but I kinda miss stock.some roms have themes I'm not to kean on or the mods don't appeal to me

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] blazinazn:
the update.zip you were referring to also fixed video playback and video recording as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Thats sexy lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Despiadado1:
I thought that I would clarify this just a bit for you.

rfs and ext4 are a reference to the type of file system format that you will use. Just like windows fat32 or ntfs. Google recommends ext4 but samsung, in their infinite wisdom, decided to use rfs which I believe is a proprietary POS. It is too slow and doesn't mitigate corruption anywhere near a level that justifies the performance hit IMO.

CWM 2.5 and 3.0 are the tools used to flash the roms. 2.5 is used for any rom that has an rfs format (read stock) and 3.0 is used for any rom that uses the ext4 format.

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
One more bit of clarification, rfs is the same as fat32 for all intents and purposes. Or vfat with 32 file allocation tables. Regardless its fat32.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
framework-res.apk has two sets of statbar icons for signal if you notice.. 1 normal set and one sprint set... as far as the 1x 3G icons i dont recall
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
Is anybody having problems with YouTube? It force closes on me every time. I even uninstalled and reinstalled from the market any ideas
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
did you try the update zip??
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
I also have the same problem with youtube. It has an error on playing the video, even after I flashed the update.zip file. The update.zip file however, also fixed my wifi issues that it wasn't connecting. Please look into it, or have a fix for youtube please. Thanks! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
i cant reproduce the problem.. give me some more specifics...

ext4 or rfs? what are you doing when its FC? fresh stock flash? or have you flashed or installed anything else? besides the update.zip?

updated tars are uploading now that may fix the problem.. new features already listed in OP
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
I'm running EC05 stock, EXT4, and rEVOlution Remix v1.01 theme. I have already tried clearing data, and a fresh uninstall/install.

Here's the problem:
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
is that an SRF/Bonsai Compatible theme? basically NOCIQ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] brewsbro:
thanks for the all the work.

Started messing with this stock plus early yesterday. Was working out great. I had been having all sorts of wakelock issues with custom roms (long story) and only stock ec05 was working out for me. This rom was sleeping fine also all day. I was checking it out in spare parts after doing various things.

But, last night, on a full charge, I ignored a call as I was going to bed. Woke up to the phone at 1% battery left. Like a dumb ass, I plugged in phone before looking at spare parts. No coffee yet :)

Any ideas what could have stayed on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
I'm not certain. I have to ask the developer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Flashable files yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Not yet, been working on a few things, sorry.. good news is I have posted the newest version in the OP now.. new host, no waits (thanks fossnet!)

Youtube problem still cant reproduce... new version might fix it for you...

sleep problem.. no clue.. try the new version..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Want your old stock font back and to fix the lockscreen issue?

flash this in cwm...

http://vu2012.hosted1.fossnet.info/EC05PlusFontFix.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I dont know about anyone else but my wifi still wont connect even after flashing your updated bionic fix for the camera and wifi. Im running the EXT4 version... Whats the fix now?? Also, when phone is off and charging, cannot 3 finger boot into cwm 3006.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm stupid, lol... I was using the old tar. I downloaded the new tar, and flashed it in Odin and all is fine now. great work, and thank you for your work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Solid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Is there a way to save data.img, flash this ROM and then restore it right after? If so, will someone please post semi-detailed instructions? I know there's a lot you can back up using Titanium Backup, but I don't want to loose my phone settings, accounts (several Google, Facebook, Twitter), WiFi networks, sound preferences, homescreen layout, icon placement, widgets, etc.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Goto my post in general about making an odin tar and just do the data partition, and rename your chosen md5 to .tar unpack it, repack it with your datafs.rfs instead of the blank one included... and flash without an md5.. can't vouch for reliability when using your data though..
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
So does the new tar files already has wifi, youtube and camera included it in? Or do I still need to download the no2chem bionic update.zip file and flash that too? Thanks! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I looked around in the General forum and couldn't find this thread you mention. Could you please link it here? Does it describe how to get the data file from the current ROM? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
It does, and its in general titled [HowTo] Making your own Odin tar

I can't link it I'm on my phone at work atm.. its near the top, or it was..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
All included in the new tar...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jazzneel:
can I flash a custom kernal on top of this? I have the twilight 1.1 right now, and really like it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Found it. It was relegated to page 3 already. This is a lot of work and I still have no guarantee it will work. If I decide to flash your ROM, I will have to reconfigure everything, so I am more hesitant now. :\
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
yes any kernel that is ec05 compatible is fine.. this is basically stock...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
this is not, for the most part, a ROM... its an odin tar.... used for starting fresh. doing whats in that post.. just the datafs.rfs part takes all of about 4 or 5 mins

it should go off without a hitch.. i just cant garuntee that the versions of apps included in stock ec05 and the versions included with w/e you are running are compatible so you may have some data app inconsistencies...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Question, If I were to flash Genocide kernel over this, would I lose any of the tweaks added to your Rom? I guess im asking if this is baked into the kernel, or if your work is outside the kernel? Sorry, usually just take a Rom as it is, but may want to try to add that kernel...
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
anything i added to the stock kernel is also in genocide or for that matter most kernels here on XDA..

so yes go ahead genocide is a great alternative
[Epic 4G Android Development] jazzneel:
have you uploaded the new version yet? I was going to odin this!

Thanks for all the great work btw!

Also, are there instructions on how to odin this? I've never used it before and don't know what to do haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] kelmar13:
Follow the directions HERE for Odin Stock Flashing and you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Yes thenew version is up..
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I also forgot there is a backup and restore script much like what bonsai and srf uses somewhere in dev.. but it doesn't get everything like the odin method.. another method would be nandroid backup.. then advance restore data only...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Yeah it would be nice to have a solid backup/restore method, they all seem prone to issues... oh well... cant complain about having a pimped epic.

Just flashed.. that is one sexy font.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Between mybackup root, app brain market and google sync, that works for me... I don't backup most apps anyway just paid apps. And some app data, use app brain to remember a list of what was installed and redownload and reinstall it all.. much cleaner..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jazzneel:
If i put twilight kernal 1.1 on there, will it add or detract from this rom? I didn't want to overclock, but just conserve battery with Set CPU
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
like i mentioned earlier, just about every kernel here on xda has every feature that i implemented into the stock kernel (init.d scripts, ext4/rfs, and disbaled CIQ). so twilight is a good alternative. though i dont recommend setcpu. i use cpu tuner or scripts..
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey Chris, whas up with the out dated SU binary?? The version you used in the .tar has a newer version out, and for some reason, it won't update when I open the superuser app. Cuz everytime you open superuser, its supposed to check for updated versions of superuser. But mine kees saying error???
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
mine says up to date... did you flash a new kernel or something?? i included the latest that i know of 2.3.1-ef
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
hi, if im running version 1, what preparations do i have todo before flashing 1.1? thanks

also, 1.1 camoes in .tar format. how do i flash this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
U flash it with Odin. No preparation needed since Odin will wipe everything on ur phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
got it, thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] belovedson:
links dead
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
yeah ive used mybackup, pretty solid, I love titanium, but sometimes its sketchy restoring to a diff. Rom... just downloaded appbrain, ill check it out, I though it was just an app suggestion thing, but if it does a batch re-download/fresh install, that would be sweet... I like to have too many apps around... but why not, we have Epics? ;) Ive got it mostly streamlined, although Go SMS fails on the restore settings, think its a new version... they had it perfect... oh well, they will fix it.

Aside from that, this Rom kicks butt! I like minimal or subtle theming... Just the Font switch is awesome. Think I will try Genocide over it... gotta double check all the tweaks in the kernels, but I just had the keyboard issue for the first time in a long time... (i know its not in there) so I gotta get that at least.

Thanks for an awesome Rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lattiboy:
Gotta say, very happy with this. I used Ace and Midnight previously, but I ran into weird battery issues. This plus vision 1.1 had been great in the limited time I've used it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
Confirmed new tar files fixed those issues with wifi, and youtube. Thanks chris4g!! :)

BTW, can someone else confirm or if it's me that my USB Mass Storage mode is not working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
All the links in OP still work for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
Odin'd this... working awesome... gonna flash genocide and some other stuff... so I just tested Mass Storage, works fine so far, can see files I transferred in adao file manager. Bad flash? Idunno how, but I have noticed every so often its good to copy my SD to my PC, reformat, then copy back what I need... for some reason it was the only thing I could think of in some situations. If you're using the same USB port and cable as when you Odin'd... somethin is wacky... did you reboot and let CWM do its thing? Not being smart, just throwin ideas out there...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ccnd8:
Yes, the installed from ODIN fine. I did reboot my phone, PC, different USB Port, and etc. but the Mass Storage mode would not connect when I hit the Connect USB storage. If you are not having this issue, then could probably be my theme, apps, or patches I've installed. I have to go back to square 1 again and recheck steps by steps from there. Thanks! :)
