I know everyone is excited about ICS. I downloaded the D700 GB source and I see, or at least think I see, that it is 2.3.5. I assume the OTA will drop next week, but will devs be working on this source before then? The two main files are SPH-D700_GB_kernel.tar and SPH-D700_GB_Platform.tar. I am not a versed in this stuff. Only tried building linux back in the days of SuSE 7.x as a noob, so don't know about android build. Just curious.

Galaxy Nexus signup page includes seven US carriers including Sprint!

don't know if this means anything but here's the Engadget story:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/19/galaxy-nexus-signup-page-includes-seven-us-carriers-endless-spe/
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
Hopefully that's a sign.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I posted that in the Nexus thread. They list those carriers to determine what carrier's customers want it more. Just because a carrier is on that list, doesn't mean that'll get it.
[Epic 4G General] cornaljoe:
Maybe Samsung has given up and they just released the source for the devs to handle.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
That would suck, but at least we have the source.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No, they just didn't want Korey WDM to be right and now have to make another guess and then say I told you so....HAHAHA.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Lol...there it's the possibility they didn't put it in the playbook.

Also I told you guys the prime would be a verizon exclusive at first, but come to all other carriers.
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
Why would they not put it in the playbook? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Has that happened before? Leaving it out of the playbook, then actually releasing it?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
There's the predictions from Koreydamus...lol.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I don't think they'd leave it out of the playbook. Sprint employees and tech have to be prepared for the update to help answer questions and solve issues. Unfortunately as I understand it they not only have to test the software for all these builds that evolve, they have to test the OTA update process as well. Maybe that's still going on. So the question is, what version was the source, and does it point to a final release soon?
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
So is there a reason why someone hasn't used the released source and compiled it? Should be complete, shouldn't it?
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I think CM7SelfKang updated to a compiled source kernel, not sure.

Regardless, I think the source only gets you the kernel. If you want to build a whole rom you still have to rely on parts of the leaked builds, which may still be buggy.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Hmm are you sure? I'm downloading the source from the Samsung site right now.. it's 130mb. Sounds really big for just a kernel... even if it's just source code.

I haven't developed in a while but I'm going to take a peek at it..
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Didn't they not mention it in playbook for ec05 but maybe they did eb13? They are a company they can do what they want not everything has to be in the playbook. The only thing we know for sure is that gb is very close and sammy will put it up on their site again for download.... hmmm hmmm sammiches
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Pretty sure EC05 was in the playbook, we knew the entire OTA schedule for it a week in advance.

It would be awesome if sammy put it on their site for download. You are the first one I've seen to make that claim. Since they didn't post EC05 on their site, what makes you think they will post the next ROM?
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
There are two tar files in the source: one named kernel and the other is platform.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I stand corrected. However, as it has been explained to me the platform tar does not include everything needed to build a ROM; the drivers and some other items are proprietary. Can someone elaborate?
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
According to instructions you'll have to download AOSP

Interesting that all files have a timestamps of Oct. 6th 2011.

:cool:
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Numerous times actually...a lot of people take for granted what Sprint tells it's employees. But just look at the past few weeks. All the updates have been coming out a week earlier then they put in the playbook.

Also EVO 3D Plumb and Samsung Transform Ultra coming to Sprint on October 23rd
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Interesting.
[Epic 4G General] Specialksg1:
So ... you're sticking with the 22nd for the beginning of OTA?
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
I say keep checking on your phones! Try the firmware update everyday if not multiple times a day. It's bound to hit soon!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
When Froyo hit, the update firmware button was useless. The OTA is cued in certain servers at different times. It OTA's when it is avilable on a server near you. The update firmware only worked if you missed your queue.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
So who is going to be the next Castro08? Didn't he nab the first EC05 OTA?? LOL..off topic here...if you are considering getting the ET4G, go for it. I don't have a single issue at all. Its so good I am still rooted stock with different battery icon. Tegrak for occasional bragging. Not one LOS, Bluetooth connects right back up even when toggled off in status bar, battery life amazing,etc...don't be fooled by people who rushed and flashed things that may have had errors. Also, where things are headed, I wouldn't trade your Epic for a Nexus...
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Lol, you say where things are going you wouldn't trade an Epic for the nexus, even though you say to trade the phone for an ET4G. The ET4G is a great phone, but if the Nexus is on the way and the Epic's community is about to shine, then why go for the ET4G and not the Nexus? The Nexus is definitely going to have a bigger community, quicker updates, and stay alive much longer than the Epic.

I'm not saying the ET4G isn't an amazing device or anything. It is. I was really tempted to get one. But with the Epic's community about to grow and the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus, I don't see why you are trying to get people to go to the ET4G.

Not trying to start a fight or anything, and I apologize if I sounded pissed. I'm not. I'm just confused is to why you would believe that is all.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I had the OTA, but I couldn't upload because I had to mow our lawn :/. I almost got it out, but Castro08 did get it out first.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yes,, I'm still sticking to it.
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
The Evo 3D Plumb? Is that just a charm with a 3D screen?
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I was just stating the fact that people are trying every trick possible to get ridof their Epic and grab a Nexus. I am saying you may really want to rethink that. Epic is about to make some major strides. The ET4G is a different story altogether. I shouldn't have mixed the topics in my earlier post.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Oh ok, makes sense now! Lol
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Oh John, you mix-up, you!
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I was assuming in your other post you were referring to ditching the Epic for a Nexus S 4G, not the next Nexus. Seems like that's what you're saying here too, is that correct?

I'm excited about what's coming up for the Epic, I just pray the CM guys will eventually get Wimax working as I use it quite frequently!
[Epic 4G General] latinmaxima:
The Galaxy nexus while having ICS and being a google phone just doesn't seem like an upgrade. I have both Epic and E4GT and with the OG Epic getting GB I can't see another phone out there better other than the E4GT and it will have ICS> If you have an epic I would keep it atleast a little longer. IF you can upgrade the E4GT seems the only logical one on Sprint to me right now. I think John meant that as well.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Exactly, ET4G is perfection basically. For a flashaholic like me to be running rooted stock with a 1% battery mod should speak volumes. Nexus I flash every damn day. Either a feature doesn't work or battery is crap,etc..long live the OG Epic and hopefully the first official GB ROM will be named Rebirth
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
My Epic is literally worn out. Got Nexus to try as replacement but I am leaning toward getting back my Epic ASAP

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
+1 on that. Phones are going to be improving and developing so fast now that the chip technology is increasing exponentially.
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
Does sprint actually make it easy to get a nexus? I hate the epic, I'd switch it out in a heartbeat. I have plenty of legitimate reasons for wanting an exchange phone. The slider sucks, the keyboard sucks, the gps is broken.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
No, they dont make it easy. Basically, you have to have gone through a bunch of defective epics, or get a sympathetic rep. But, getting the Nexus S 4G isn't worth it. Soon, we'll have CM compliant CM7, with perfect keyboard and GPS. If you can upgrade, get the E4GT.
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
I think the nexus is well worth it... But I did get it a long time ago but don't diss the ns4g. Remember were getting official ics in a couple of months or sooner
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'm not dissing it. Lol

Just saying that we do have a development future now, so there's no need to jump ship for something else. In the end, its their choice anyways. :)
[Epic 4G General] Killasmoke:
I had both the epic & now I got a nexus they both have there pros. & cons I'm happy with my nexus I like using my Google wallet & freaking people out that my phones buying things for me its Amazing!! :) I'm happy the epic getting gingerbread finally well deserved the epic had better camera & more features but the nexus is just Faster, smoother it feels better in hand & its official that its getting ice cream sandwich!!! :) in few months also its easy to flash roms on I like both phones right now I'm keeping my nexus my mom got the epic

Hey Korey...any updates on this?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Todays the 22nd. So, maybe this will happen on monday
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
It could be monday. Just keep checking the update android section if you are on ec05
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That don't work if your phone isn't queued. They say the best way to receive the OTA is by accessing the market. That is what triggered the OTA on Froyo in both my phones.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'm waiting for custom stuff, or at least stock deodexed official gb lol then I'll make a theme.
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
you still think it's around the corner even though they pulled the source form their site?

I hope so... dying for some new **** to flash :)
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I especially think its near ota since they pulled it, means next time they post it is when it has a build number next to it such as EJ24.
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
why ej24? i know that would be this monday.... but as we've seen before they dont release builds the same day they're marked.... eco5 was released on the 21st ... so they didnt make it ec21 even though it was released that day so if it does come on monday it will be ei22
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I think his ej24 was an example not necessarily the exact build
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
I know but i'm saying the release will be named ei22 nothing else
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Ehhh I don't think so. ei22 is the last build we know of. I don't recall us knowing that ec05 would be the final build for froyo or eb13
[Epic 4G General] kbboykin:
My Epic is currently only WiFi, while I'm checking out another phone. Will I still get the OTA if it comes out or do I have to go back to 3G to get it?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You will need to be on the "network" which is 3G or 4G. Although you may get it if you access the market a lot while on wifi. Still no sign of an OTA though. Maybe next week. I think Sprint is having too many network problems during their maintenance month and will wait until they are all cleared up because a bad OTA download will probably sponge a phone.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Sprint has been having network problems for over a year in some areas and it never stopped them from updating before. The validity test takes care of if the file is complete or not to start the update.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
True but they specifically slated October for major maintenance. People are complaining a lot more this month about failed texts and unable to make phone calls. I don't think they want to risk an OTA right now. If they would let us use Kies I bet we would have it now.
[Epic 4G General] Ex0d0s:
I wonder why is that not possible now... the ET4G has updates available through Kies, correct? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Because Sprint wanted control of their device. If it had been through Kies it would be or likely be a Samsung builds it, Sprint bloats it they give it back to Samsung and we get it from Samsung through kies. Instead of Samsung's builds it, Sprint bloats it then releases it late enough that people go and purchase new devices. But then again that can't be the case because the other US variants use Kies correct? They would have had it by now unless Samsung itself is having issues. As well as carriers.

Also, has their been any new RDF files put up?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No new rdfs and Sprint made the decision to block Kies from the Epic. Controlling bastards!
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I don't think network maintenance and OTAs are related because neither Sprint nor Samsung host the updates. Google does.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
sorry. Still don't buy it about the network.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Correct. You can downloaded "OTA" updates while on Wifi, and once someone parses the URL for the update you can download it directly from the google server to your PC.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
We were not able to do that for EC05. Someone had to trap the update.zip. Then eventually Samsung released the full tar.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Actually, a quick google search will get you this URL:

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d700/5f372cb40834.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToEC05.zip

which is the direct link to the google servers for the DI18 to EC05 update.

and http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_d700/20428846d0d6.update-SPH-D700_EB13ToEC05.zip

which is the direct link to the google servers for the EB13 to EC05 updates.

I think someone captured them in log files within a day of the release. Of course these are both update.zip files, not complete roms. Also, it I remember right only EB13 was ever posted on the sammy website, and was removed after a few weeks. EC05 never got posted.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
I for one still think Whosdaman's October 22nd prediction is going to turn out to be true. I guess we have less than a year to see if he was right.:cool:
[Epic 4G General] steviee7:
Cheer up buddy soon we will have treats
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:

We'll get it when we get it I guess. No one *really* cares anymore though because we got source, and 95% done CM7 and MIUI. Plus, EC05 is stable anyways, so people can't really complain.

[Epic 4G General] tonybeau:
Maybe they were just premature

They probably pulled the source so that we wouldn't get too much GB goodness before the OTA.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Doesn't matter if they pulled it cuz the devs got it. Before that anyways. But the point I think it does make with them posting source is that they are about to release gb
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I tweeted samfirmware and they said they can't get new roms for epic because Samsung switched their U.S. servers.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Two Possibilities (purely my opinion):

1) I think they released the source on purpose. They are looking for our devs help. Or they want to see what our dev's do with it.

2) Dumb mistake on their part.

I would love to know the dev's opinion on the code they see. Is it near production code? or a snapshot of one of the leaked roms?

More tin hat stuff: Did mr. cyanogen himself have a part in this?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Maybe they did release it to us just to make us happy, I mean it is mostly what we wanted. Devs didn't really care for an update mostly just the source, and that's exactly what we got.

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Then why did they pull it?
[Epic 4G General] poit:

3) Someone at Samsung USA was doing us a favor but it wasn't authorized so when it got noticed it was taken down.

4) Their server crashed, was restored from an older backup and they haven't updated the recent updates yet.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
For my reason exactly I'm thinking, just to please us. We still have the source and a mirror for it. That's what we've been waiting for.

They give different reasons every time. They told me last that they just didn't know anything. And before they said they'd have a leak at the end of september(which didn't happen). I don't deny there is a reason they havent helped us, I just don't know which story to believe. Then again, the dont have good english, so who knows.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
another reason they released source was so the app developers would have a head start to code for it if needed
