You do realize most of the time its either @ 100 or 1000 huge jumps and not to mention kills battery quick. it should be like that for 100-400 and lower for 800-1000.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
Yeah I am either heavily using it or not using it much at all. Hence, the 1000 to 100 jumps. Also that is why I am surprised at the good battery life so far. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] radji:
The only compaint I have so far is that Root Uninstaller cannot remove any of the Sprint Bloatware. It keeps throwing back "an unknown error has occured".
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
You using Root Explorer?
[Epic 4G Android Development] radji:
I use Root Uninstaller...Root Explorer doesn't remove apps, or at least that's what I assumed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Sure it can. Just go into the directory and delete.

No it really doesnt trust me i do it and it still pops up vice versa when putting a app in app section it doesnt install it?

Thats why i like when i had my Moment i can do that and it works but i did it through recovery. Which OUR CWM SHOULD HAVE
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
You can use root explorer to add or remove files to system. Apps, bootimages, different fonts, etc. There is a read write toggle at top right of screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
Just remember to click the change to r/w at the to of the screen our it will tell you files are protected. Delete the old file, then paste the new one in.

this leak is very stable and very smooth. I was also getting really good battery life. I had to switch back to EC05 though. The audio quality through bluetooth is horrible on EF02. I use my epic as a mp3/pandora player about 4 hours per day. The sound while using EF02 was just horrid. I hope this gets addressed before they release the final GB.

[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
can someone see if the sound through the car dock is still terrible? it was on the last GB leak
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I DO THATS MY POINT HAHA

This what im saying even when i do that im not an idiot i understand its supposed to be under read/write it still doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
I do it all the time. Not sure why you're having problems. Learn more if you dont want problems.

[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
Maybe the app itself isn't getting root access. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you
[Epic 4G Android Development] radji:
I tried your way with root explorer and found my answer. I did not even have to find the apk's to delete them; SU.zip did not install correctly so Root Explorer and Root Uninstaller weren't being granted superuser permissions correctly...problem solved. Your wrong answer led me to the right one. Muchas garcias.

As for the bluetooth A2DP, it sounds good thru my Motorola S9 using PowerAmp. I'll try it on my car in the next few days since my car stereo connecteds via the stereo jack port on the Epic. I've found the following as well:

Pros: Startup is MUCH MUCH MUCH faster! Seriously!

Everything in general is faster.

All animations are much smoother

My freezing issue has been solved! {HOORAY!}

All 'Important' apps are working perfectly...(Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,

Yahoo Mail, PowerAmp, Camera App, Video Recorder, Gmail, Widget

Locker, Voicemail, just to name a few)

Live wallpaper flows very smoothly and no longer jitters when you're

running multiple apps

Cons: No change to GPS...it sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't

The Sprint Total Protection App will not recognize the phone as a

compatible model (most likely will be fixed by final build)

Unknown if modem is any improvement since I have to use an Airave

since my home is in a dead area (3G and 4G)

Same crappy TW incoming call screen!

Battery performance is slightly better, but not by much...I'm reserved to

having to charge my phone ever 24 hours

Keyboard lag is back, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the kernal fix

was the cause of my freezing issues

Verticle scrolling sometimes hangs up, I just momentarily let go of the

screen and try again, then it keep scrolling

All-in-All, a definite improvement IMHO. I will report any other boasts or perpetrations as I come across them.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sheetalc:
I am still on the EF02 kernel and modem. I am seeing people complain of bad bluetooth, music quality etc and going back to EC05. Are they going back to the EC05 completely or just the modem? I am getting ready as the rom is stable and seems fine to me. So if I have to just flash the EC05 modem, I am cool.

another note, anyone get video chat in google talk with this? i dont see any. Thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] Pete720:
I'm am very pleased with this leak over Froyo. My phone was bone stock when this leak was released. I followed qbking77's video to a tee including leaving out the debug kernel. I also did NOT upgrade the modem. So far my Epic is faster, battery life is good, signal quality and speed is good, and none of my Froyo problems. My only issue right now is the market place not showing all the programs i had. With Froyo my radio would reset frequently, the phone would self reboot, it would freeze while watching a movie or downloading a game, ect. Now I have not tried the music over BT yet but so far this will be my everyday driver until the official. Which reminds me, will I have to Odin back to stock to get official even though I'm not rooted or anything? I'm sorry if it's a silly question, this was the first time I ever manipulated a smartphone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JudasD:
I had to go back to the entire rom. The EC05 modem alone did nothing for me. I loved the ef02 leak. It was awesome, but the sound quality on BT was the breaker for me. i was very sad to go back to ec05 :'(

JD
[Epic 4G Android Development] radji:
I'm not sure what to tell you. Both bluetooth and corded stereo sound quality with mine have been good...so far. If there are any changes, I will let you know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Followed the instructions in the OP, worked like a charm. Rooted, got EF02 running smoothly and bug-free. Decided to go for the EF10 OTA, nightmare, but FIXED!

Modem went into airplane mode and would not come out of it. Was able to still use wifi and find a workaround to enable 4G using SprintZone... anyway, several restarts would still not take off airplane mode so I booted into recovery (the new 1.8 one) and cleared cache. Voila! Working EF10baseband over EF02 build.

Gps working

4G working

3G working

Wifi working

Music with no interruptions from EE03

Root

Will try netflix later.

Thanks a lot for posting this, my new daily.

I flashed EF02, everything is on the up and up so far, I haven't tried GPS yet, but the only major problem I see is the messaging. Whenever I send a text it says it failed, but the person still receives the message. is there a way to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] warrenis1234:
the rom 'epic experience' is the only rom ive used so far that could go 6 hours with everything turned off and only lose like 1 percent of the battery.

whats this debug kernel???
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
So whats up with the kernel why does it say debug kernel?

And if we ODIN, do we still have our cwm recovery so we could just do a backup and then go back right? if im not mistaken?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
How is this working for everyone? I'm on Swiss cheese and all is perfect so I dont want to flash anything that's going to NOT work. Any major issues? GPS? 3G/4G etc???
[Epic 4G Android Development] castro08:
Well I don't think so bro, I think we loose all root,
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
no it was me, i was teh one who warned everyone in irc.. i tried gingerbreak 1.20 apk on it and it didnt work.. if it needs to be modifed idk, but samsung just recently released the samsung prevail on 2.2.2 that blocks gingerbreak and ratc so i wouldnt be surprised to have to wait for a prerooted kernel for this or flash cwm in odin...
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Partially correct. The real answer is that odining a full ROM overwrites the recovery partition, and installing a custom recovery afterwards requires root.

We'll have to wait until source is released from samsung, the the devs will compile a rooted ROM around that, then odin that. Samsung Source is usually released a couple days before OTA release
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
This is the supposed EF02, one build step up from EE03, so in theory, its supposed to be better. I'm going to flash it right now and I'll give u my opinion of it

So far so good. Now the real question is can I get Netflix working on it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
I'd rather have the following than a nice screen (don't get me wrong the SAMOLED is very nice)

1. Timely updates

2. Updates that don't actually impede functionality of the phone

3. More from the CM team than "STOP ASKING FOR ETAs" (This is not intended as a slight against the CM guys, Samsung is totally wack and everyone knows it, this is causing hardships for development)

4. Not having to make a choice between lag and crashed ROMs

5. GPS locks right out of the box

6. Manufacturer that doesn't crap up their codebase making it impossible for widespread development community involvement

7. Not waiting for my phone to scan the SD card 2-3x on boot

8. A phone that only becomes a space heater after 30 minutes of PvZ instead of after loading a web page.

That's off the top of my head. I'll miss a few things, though:

Contact list in Touchwiz (I just noticed this in the GB leaks, may not be exclusive to EE/EF builds) with the ability to slide right or left on a contact for a quick text or call (left is text, right is call, it's very nice though of course laggy)

The screen (Yeah, I'll miss it a bit, it's a nice screen)

Warm hands in winter because I can just stick my hand in my pocket and unlock the phone and scroll around the homescreens to heat the phone up

Relatively decent camera (HTC cameras be poopy)

[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
The screen makes 75% of the phone IMO.

Issue #1 - the EVO had the same issue especially with the recent GB

#2 - IDK what you mean. I haven't had any issues when updating.

#3 - CM is lacking.. but thats because GB source has to be released

#4 - IDK what you mean.

#5 - GPS works fine for me and many others.

#6 - if you say so.

#7 - http://www.appbrain.com/app/rescan-media-root/com.addz.mediascannerroot

#8 - I haven't had overheating issues on EC05 or EF02 so far.. I play tegra2 games a lot. are you OC'd

Has anyone had any issues with random rebooting on EF02?

My install went smooth but, I do not get the EF10 update, or prl and profile for that matter. I tried before rooting and they error out with internal error and unknown error respectively. I reflashed several times and get the same result. Any ideas, opinions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I don't think you will be able to get EF10 update then. I know I can't and I have the same issue. I took my phone to Sprint for some repairs but they won't fix that because updates get pushed OTA. It looks like we can't get over EF02 until the official gets released...or there's another leak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
This Epic does have a nice screen, but I just got an Evo 3D and I like the screen 10 times better. The web pages load 5 times faster, the screen size is bigger, it works overall 50 times better than my Epic, and, there's not a difference in screen quality. Atleast, I can't tell. And I got 20/20 vision. The ONLY problem is that the devs are having a hard time rooting it. Its just a better phone all together, and I got nothing against Samsung...

[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
best is to ODIN back to EC05 and let it update itself to EI22 and then to EH30 there are threads with both of these stock .zip files as well but probably easiest with EI22 just to let your phone download it. Then Flash the newest CWM 5.0.2.7 or something like that. All this is stickied in the Dev section.
