Got it, thanks. Pit in "Pit", Tar in "PDA", nothing in "bootloader", "phone", or "CSC", and un-check everything but auto reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amego.y:
Is the battery life improved? for the stock rom, it costs 5% per hour
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
http://jumbofiles.com/nstrrancvtbn Link fixed! As far as I know it's all good to go.

Can't promise it will be a whole lot faster. But here ya go!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey Chris,

I think theres something wrong with the .tar file. When I use odin, once it auto reboots, it keeps vibrating and won't boot up. I tried it twice and still a no go. Could you please look into this for me? Also, I made sure the only thing that was checked was auto reboot... has anyone else had this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
I made a note in the op about this.. it does that on the first boot.. just let it run.. its due to one of the tweaks initial setup it will loop once.. and it takes a while bc it actually builds the dalvik twice..
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Has anyone flashed this successfully yet? Mine just finished downloading, but I am now thinking about waiting a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Somvang`:
What if you don't use the pit file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] docchaos:
I can confirm, it takes "forever" to stop buzzing :)

(ok, i also had re-partition checked the first time, so went back to EC05 stock then back to this. Darn me for rushing)

But i now have EF02plus on my phone.

Looks slick. Will advise of any issues.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Think there's something wrong with your mirror. File in OP is ~289mb, mirror is ~55mb
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
Yup noticed this too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
I let it "bootloop" for a while and it finally booted up.

One thing though...vibration seems to be messed up. The soft buttons and home/camera do not vibrate any longer. That may just be me though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
+1. Chris... when you say that the first boot takes a while.... what is "a while" in your book? 5 Minutes? 10 Minutes? Should I just leave it overnight?

I'm getting the 3 short vibrates and a 1 vibrate (they were further apart but have gotten closer together... and are now vibrating further apart now... oh and are now closer together again)...

Been going like this for QUITE a while...

Should I not have started with EF02 Stock (yesterday's noobnl release) already on this, i.e. should I have started with an EC stock ROM?

It's been going now for 11 minutes with the vibrating and the big S on the screen is doing the white/blue/pink thing still. I keep typing hoping that I could just not even Submit this... but here goes cause I think there's something wrong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Mine went for 31 minutes :D

But it went.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Guys, please don't flame me...where is the link for the new Odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Its in the .rar file that noobnl posted in the general section. Unzip the .rar file and its in there. Also, thanks Chris, i'll try it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:

Thanks sniperkill..even easier...thanks darkie!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Moguledyouth:
For anyone who has successfully loaded this rom - Are protected Market apps visible in the Android Market? I tried yesterdays release and went back to froyo because of this issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Wow! So overnight it is! :eek:

OK. I went ahead and odin'd back to EC05 just for good measure, got a GPS lock, and have now reodined this. Guess I'll let it sit there and vibrate for 30 or 45 minutes.

Just want to confirm... it was doing this weird vibrating thing on yours as well.... right?

Update: After 18 minutes, the phone has in fact come up with 2.3.3. Oh me of little faith! Thanks Chris. Will report back. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Correct. three short and 1 long. The classic sign of a good ol' soft brick!

Only this time it's not!

Haha my phone had to vibrate so much during first boot that haptic feedback wasn't working! A reboot fixed that though :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
I'm not sure. However that is a quick fix. The fingerprint just needs to be changed to a different phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Mirror fixed!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
30 mins?? Damn... mine was like 7 or 8 mins...
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Sometimes!

It took 25 minutes to download yours. And it took 6 minutes on jumbofile.

I just tried it again though. 30kb/s is pretty bad!

Guess it depends on the timing?

EDIT: After re-reading your post I couldnt tell if you were talking about the download times or the boot loops.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Mine took 15 minutes (and a lot of vibrating) to boot. I will update with my initial thoughts after I play a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Is there an app for this or is it done through the Market itself? Settings? TIA!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Two questions:

1. So the infamous soft brick vibration is normal on this at bootup? Just let it go and it will be fine?

2. Will wifi tether work on this with the plus kernel? I havent tried it yet, but just wanted to get some feedback.

Thanks for the help. Also thanks to the OP, nice job packaging this all together.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
1. Yes

2. Don't know yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] dtugg:
Thanks. This is super smooth. Only problem that I've had thus far is that I don't like the font you included. But that is easy enough to change.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Just tried wifi tether and barnacle. They both started fine but two other epics could not pick up a connection. ?? Don't know. Anyone else have any luck?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I agree. So far, the rom is great, but I really need to flash a new set of fonts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Cool I'm not wild about the font either, but the ROM is great overall!

What's the easiest way to change the font?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Ok, too many positive results for me to resist making the jump anymore. Thanks again sniperkill,darkierar, and chris41g!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I just flashed a CWM zip for stock fonts
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Could you post the zip please?

Or could i just push the fonts from the Stock rom to the system? Would that work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Here's the zip. It's not my work, but I can't give credit because I have no idea where I got it from. It's just something I hold on to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
GB font a bit different than normal though, no? I can kind of tell theres a dif and I like it better than froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
You can also download Custom Android Fonts Switcher for free off the Market ;). Just changed mine to Comfortaa (bonzai font)

Close on the network speeds, you haz faster uploads
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Whats minfwee wam boosta?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I just jumped ship from EF02 because of the horrible responsiveness of the touchscreen (pressing any of the buttons on the phone ie: menu, home). Also, I'd be scrolling through the XDA app and the phone would think I'm actually pressing to open a thread. And then the Lockscreen would think I let go before I could unlock, sometimes it took up to 4 tries to unlock....However!!!! I'm determined to give EF02 another try due to the sheer fact that Chris41g, the developer after stability vs speed (LIKE ME! only just not a rom maker :p), created this....I may just have to give it a try. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
This rom is good as it is...but I just cant abandon baked snack...battery life and ...speed....just...wtf?!!..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I googled Baked Snack and I can't seem to find it, GPL violations seem to prevent me from finding it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
First flash got me a bootloop, I had everything unchecked except for auto reboot. this time I'm trying without the .pit file. lol We'll see how it goes. If this one fails, I'll reDL and try two more flashes. :p

EDIT: Bootloop again?! I'm reDLing nao!

EDIT2: Just noticed OP says first boot takesawhile, I'll leave it alone for a few minutes but I'm scared of the triple vibrations then the single one, repeating as if it is clawing it's way form the innards of my phone.

EDIT3: Left it alone and it's all good now. :)

EDIT4: Holy hell this is smooth, Love ya, Chris!
[Epic 4G Android Development] readermo:
glad to see this post- i'm currently stuck in the "buzz..... b-b-buzz" loop myself, and have been for about 5 minutes. i'll wait it out and edit this post with my results.

EDIT: still buzzing. heart rate elevating. slight discomfort in left arm.

EDIT2: buzzing stopped. phone rebooted. tightness in chest subsiding.

EDIT3: phone finally done booting. rom smooth. called 911 back and told them i don't need that ambulance after all. left message with shrink to refill anxiety meds. all is right with the world.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
I am getting the vibration from hell at the sammy screen and boot loop. I used both versions of Odin everything unchecked but reboot no pit file just the tar in pda. I wiped 3 times. I have repeated this multiple times. It isn't the cable I am able to flash modems and other roms with it. Right now I am running on my nan back up from friday which I think is swisschess lol. I have made a few changes this week so not sure what I am running right now. I would like to get this one up and running if possible. This is the first one I have had troubles with other than when I was totally new to rooting.

EDIT:::

After having a few sips of coffee I went back through the posts it appears this is normal then. Keep in mind I was doing this at midnight last night and need to go to bed. I will retry and let it do its thing will let you know.

EDIT #2::: Yup all it needed was some time and me some coffee :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
LOL glad I'm not the only one that tenses up when their phone acts strange. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Also would like everyone to know if you're having FCs on ANY apps, simply reinstall because when you do a restore, some apps become corrupt. Also, remember to update google Maps when you can, otherwise it'll pop up saying it's FCing every few minutes!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
After successful testing with this ROM, I approve.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
FUUUUUUCK longest 36 minutes ever! WHY SO SLOOWWWWWWW? lol I'll be patient.

Edit: Download getting slowwer.. hour now. :(((
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
I'm assuming the download? Took me about 2 minutes DLing @ 700 kbps-1mbps. :p

Just saying because if it's going on 36 mins for boot, then you may want to reconsider reflashing. LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
+1 Nope your not LOL went out of mind at 12 last night was like WTF I did everything right several times so pulled battery went to nan and went to bed :D got it up and running this morning :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I hit the thanks button but had to say something too!!! This is the only "gingerbread" version that has been stable for me. No FC's with launcher pro, no FC"s with call logs and snappy as hell!!!! Other than the minor hart attack giving over the the "vibration from hell" and the boot loop at the start this freaking ROCKS!!!!!

Again Thanks a million!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Lol..."vibration from hell"....that's stoopid funny
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
So the random dumb vibrate is still. There as a bug?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Hmm getting "you don't have su binary" error using custom android fonts switcher though I know root is working properly (other apps request superuser and I grant them access). Also, my rotation is still laggy as hell, even after odin'ing this and running horizontal calibration with the phone upside down. I'm running out of ideas here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cbusillo:
I am not able to download previously purchased apps. Does this have to do with the fingerprint in the build.prop? How can I fix this?

Thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] jazzneel:
So stupid question, but can I use an EC05 kernal on this? I wanted to keep my genocide kernal since i get amazing battery life from it
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
No. EC05 is Froyo, EF02 is Gingerbread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
so the first boot error thing, mine has been doing the fc double vibrates for like 2 minutes now and my second attempt from odin, should i redownload?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Everything's working great but I noticed one GPS issue. When I use GPS Test or any similar utility, it's telling me that I have 8-10 satellites in view, but only one in use. I've never seen this before - usually all visible are used. Tried resetting agps data, no difference. Anyone else seeing this?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Ualdayan:
Are there any EF02 ROMs with Carrier IQ removed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Other epics wouldn't be able to see the Ad-hoc network that it puts out. If it starts with no errors most computers should be able to connect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aryantes:
Just installed this, seems blazingly fast and smooth.

Mine took about 15 minutes from the first vibration of doom to startup.

However, Titanium backup doesn't seem to work. I can't restore any apps successfully.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Can't wait...been using this all day and it's been fantastic. Will the update be odin only or can you make a cwm flashable for those of us on v1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
the update will be a flashable, and then a full odin
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
Just tried the galaxy s volume hack. It didn't break anything. But i also really cant tell if it worked. Can't wait for those effects.

So what's the fix for the soft keys not vibrating? Not even after 2, 3, 4 reboots...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Hey Custodian, are you still on eclair 2.1 using baked snack undisputed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schuby:
Mine was actually turned off in the settings after I flashed, you'd need to turn it back on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Okay, thanks Schuby :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jazzneel:
So if I'm on your froyo plus rom with ext4, what do I need to do to get on this? Just odin like usual to it? It will wipe everything right?

And for everyone who's already on this, hows battery life?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Yes, just odin. Battery life for me is much better than on last gb leak (aa v7), but not as good as sfr with genocide kernel. Very usable with current battery life.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eat toast:
Vibration of Doom

Had a window sill that I needed to sand and re-stain. Placed Epic on a piece of 80 grit sandpaper and let the 15 minutes of vibrating cut the job time in half. Thanks EF02
[Epic 4G Android Development] p3dr0maz:
That's funny :D But yeah mine took "forever" the first time. I guess it's one of the tweaks doing it's thing.

However, I also notice this vibrate soft brick issue when I clear my dalvik cache. It doesn't take anywhere near as long as it did on first boot but it still happens a few times. Everything else on this ROM is perfect so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] techargon:
are you guys experiencing the battery icon changing every now and then to a fat green battery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
LOL had to call it something when you flash as much as i do you know that isn't right or good! well at least usually LOL :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Yup
[Epic 4G Android Development] techargon:
Loving this, thank you!

I had a couple of questions, any way to easily get the reboot feature back when holding the power button? also since it's rooted can we change the boot animation?

Also i have tried the lcd density changer, it works great.

Flixter Movies app doesn't open.....tried reinstalling with no luck. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
No luck getting the phone to update to the EF10 modem. It goes through the process and downloads the software but will not install it. The phone just reboots after I click install and reboots back up with the same EF02 modem and starts the process all over again.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Hey guys, if anyone feels ballsy enough to attempt to intercept the ef10 modem you can just take the script pasted below, chmod it, and dump it in init.d. Name it like '69intercept'.

Then just 'upgrade firmware' in settings and this should copy the contents to a directory named cachecontents on your sdcard.

Note, this may lead to a partial dump of the modem.bin, so we can't know wtf is happening until someone actually tries it:

#!/bin/bash
#Intercept an update?
#init.d script

#simple way to generate checksum of a directory
findme=$(find ../../../cache | while read f; do echo `stat -t $f`; done | sha1sum)

#Create directory for dump, and set up initiliazer
mkdir ../../../sdcard/cachecontents;
PREVIOUS=$findme;
NEW=$PREVIOUS;

until [ "$NEW" != "$PREVIOUS" ]
do
NEW=$findme
if [ "$NEW" != "$PREVIOUS" ]; then
cp -R ../../../cache/* ../../../sdcard/cachecontents/
fi
done
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Wait didn't EF10 get caught in the qb thread?

Edit:looks like I was wrong
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Went into scary vibrate mode for about 20 minutes till it booted. I must say though that it was totally worth it. Ultra smooth and everything. This will definitely keep me satisfied until the official gingerbread OTA release ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] air2k57:
With one vibrate followed by 2? Mine is doing that now, hope it boots...
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Yea, a bunch of other users experienced the same thing. Nothing's wrong though. Just gotta wait a bit.

two things!!

first when i try to use odin v1.82 with 100528.pit on pit and ef02plus.tar in pda and uncheck re-partition it said that doesnt have a pit file and is asking me to get on so it can re-partition...

but when i do check re-partition it goes ok til data.fs.rfs get stuck with 10 min there!! whats the issue anyone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] chris41g:
Are you repairing a softbricked epic? and ive never heard of that pit.. use the victory pit..
[Epic 4G Android Development] maldito.boss:

I don't think you are supposed to check repartition
[Epic 4G Android Development] maldito.boss:
i know

im trying both ways check and uncheck and get nothing !!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
When I did it, Odin re-checked repartition when I added the Pit. Double check before you start the flash. You ONLY want auto-reboot checked.

Wait while it vibrates, do a little dance or something?

And before you know it. It will be done.
