[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
What I was getting at is: If we can take a rom from a gsm version of the nexus s, and change the install script, build prop, and kernel, and it works on our cdma nexus s 4g, why cant you take the rom from the i9000, or similar phone to the epic and do the same.

I love the MIUI rom, and I am just trying to help the epic community get an awesome rom ported over. I dont have my epic anymore otherwise I would try this myself.
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
That works for most Galaxy S devices.

The epic is a bastard, ugly cousin of the Galaxy S devices.
[Epic 4G General] shiftr182:
I know, I hated that fact when I had it.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Can't hurt to try.epic isn't really that much different. Keyboard doesn't change much in the rom and miui doesn't have 4g so the only main difference is cdma. The fascinate got around that so so can we
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Part of the problem is that we don't have a working kernel. So thats whats different
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Everyone always talks about the epic as if ports are nearly imlossible. Does a radio and keyboard really have that huge of an effect? Whats the difference in scenarios between the other cdma devices? Why were they successful?
[Epic 4G General] :
THANK YOU!

Because they have a Kernel.
[Epic 4G General] Decad3nce:
Is this an actual question?

If you're talking about the Fascinate and Mesmerize, they're quite literally the Captivate/Galaxy S with a CDMA radio.

The Epic is so different from the other Galaxy S devices, it even has it's own subdirectories (victory) in the kernel source. That's how bastardized it is.

We've already answered these questions multiple times. Go look at the CM7 threads. Go look at the source.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
I read these fourms constantly ive just never seen a straight answer other than. "Hey its different?" or "we dont have this or that".

Are you sayibg our source is drasticly differently. And dont flame, you dont have to respond just a question.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
Yes, because Samsung gave us Drastically different parts. In an ideal and logical world we'd have more in common than what we do now.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Keyboard - I don't know... the Modem, yes its an important factor because the kernel needs to interact by common language with it and if they where designed different you'll have a crippled phone.

Sent from an Epic with 4G
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I think it could work. There can't be that much different in terms of code besides keyboard kernel and modem. Thanks for helping shiftr especially since you don't have our device anymore
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
We can probably change the fascinate kernel to work on sprints bands. That's really all that matters that is different between us
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
The keyboard and signal bands actually have very little to do with this, in fact our phone works on all of Verizon's network bands. The hardware changes are fundamental such as the motherboard and other essential parts like GPS. The Kernel source is written in a really hacky way too making it difficult to decipher and reverse engineer.
[Epic 4G General] Mike_77:
Wait wait wait.. so what you're saying is.. without a kernel we can't do this? And we won't have a kernel until the source is released by Samsung?? It's soooo much clearer now.. I guess I should have read the 16,000 other threads where this was spelled out.

--puts Sarcasm to bed for the night....
[Epic 4G General] tizocalamilla:
so why doesnt miui have 4g?... i cant wait till we get a fully functional miui rom! when i had the htc hd2 the miui rom was beyond my best expectations and when i saw this miui1.7.15. my jaw just dropped!! (eyeball orgasim)
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
So then what would happen if I flashed the Fascinate ROM?
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
You will probably brick ur phone. Or if ur lucky get stuck on a boot loop.
[Epic 4G General] chuckdez:
Depends on the updater script included in the package.
[Epic 4G General] tetshi:
Considering you really can't brick an Epic, it would most likely be the second one.
[Epic 4G General] asdfghjkl:
It wouldn't flash...the updater script calls for update.sh and that's set for fascinate and checks if your trying to flash on fascinate. And if by some miracle it becomes confused and flashes, the kernel (boot.img) would never work...probably wouldn't make it to sammy screen.

Edit: and the reason for no 4g is that there was no code in their source...but now there is so its just a matter of making it work...which (I don't know but I assume) still isn't easy...I personally just want the rom to fully work and then someone can work on 4g lol
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Oh, its possible, don't take things for granted. Just because its hard doesn't mean you should go arund flashing other phones roms. If you do that, and you get bricked, you deserve a brick.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
I think if you managed to flash the wrong secondary boot loader sbl.bin then that is what brings up the yellow screen when connecting to Odin and then you would be holding a true brick.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Why do we use zimage and some use boot.img? Also, we could probably change the updater-script so it would at least boot.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Do you think this is legit?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] portis:
When i try to install app from market or sdcard to internal memory, after reboot the apps are gone. :)

Any ideas
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] penguin0609:
i would download another rom that someone didnt just copy and throw up there. See the developer thread there are many good custom roms to choose from
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandond15:
I agree with that... team acid roms are nice :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] steeleain:
I've run through all of Team Revoutions posts, on other forums as well, and it seems to me that he doesn't offer Any support. He either doesn't know how, doesn't know what he's doing or just couldn't be bothered. I'd beware of flashing any of his roms. Just my humble opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
I second that. It does seem that he just grabs another devs work adds some "secret" tweaks and VERY proudly claims it as his own. Also seems that he used to go by fawkz and got into some heat under that name as well. Best bet would be to just leave his work alone. But this is also my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] l0lz0rss:
LOL secret tweaks. This kid is awesome. This is also my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Indeed he is!

I have a new hero....

:rolleyes:

using this method I should be able to crank out a few dozen new roms this week..... all my own work of course....

I do have to give him props for entrepreneurial thinking though... catch the unwary, make a few quick bucks with little effort....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Just wait till I roll out my I can't believe its not margarine rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] l0lz0rss:
What's going to be your secret tweak?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Well there will be my... um... well custom of course with my tweaked stock kernel and a secret... uh... completely custom you see.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
My ROM is going to be called 10CHHAR.

You'll have to fill in your own tweaks before you can flash it. Very custom. No two should be alike and because you tweak it yourself your all the support you'll need! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
What's a 10cchar
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
ndjxkridbr LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
I must say that it is sad to see some1 rip off another's work. And here I thought we might have another dev but it is more like a version of amylovescomputers.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jerry D:
I thought we might have had another dev too...

I tried to send "amy" a donation twice for helping me with bricks, Odin and mods. Both times "amy" refused to take my money. She had me donate it to our Devs. I'm not defending "her" just sharing MY experience with "her" regarding donations.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
Lmao I don't want to believe anybody but this rom is certainly someone else's work and thats just wrong doing.

Lmao I cant wait for "i can't believe its not margerain" and 10cchar haha
[XPERIA X10 General] WitchMX:
Most of you hadn't even noticed that I was in this forum. I've been around for 6 months more or less. When I first got here I didn't even know what rooting was and I ended up being an addicted to Wolfbreak's updates.

I renewed my plan today and got a LG Optimus Black for free and I'm gonna give it a try. Out of the box it looks more responsive and snappier the my beloved x10 so I'm gonna try and root it, but I'll keep an eye on this forum waiting for the gingerbread update and the successive custom roms.

I just wanted to thank all the devs here, WB, Z, goro, Ricardo and all of them, you guys have really given life to an forsaken device and it was a lot of fun and learning, I really appreciate the effort you make.

Thank you guys and take care

[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I know I haven't really done much for this community, but still I'm gonna hijack this thread to bid my farewell too. It's been a fun, and certainly a thrilling first experience with Android, or any smartphone for that matter. I've been around since we first gained root access, created a huge thread in anticipation for 2.1, saw the first custom roms, demanded multitouch, gained multitouch, demanded Android Gingerbread, gained a promise for update to Gingerbread, achieved kernel bypass and more. So, I've seen the whole lifecycle of our X10, yet I'm leaving just when it's going to get a new breath of life. I'll probably be lurking around this part of the XDA too though, since I'm donating my X10 to my mom after I receive my SGSII.

Thanks to zdzihu, jerpelea, Wolfbreak, achotjan, DooMLoRD, erickwill, My_Immortal and everyone else whose actions and efforts have made this phone better than it was set out to be. I love you all and hope to see you guys again sometime. I hope the community is as good in the other camp as it was here in it's prime.
[XPERIA X10 General] jayman1986:
^ just hopefully less arguments than here. :D. Enjoy ur new phone :)
[XPERIA X10 General] scoobysnacks:
It's the top selling android phone ever, the development over there will be insane!

I envy you :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Don't worry bros I have an inspire now and I hang around the x10 forums much more than the inspire forum. Of course I gave my dad my x10 so I still check for updates for him. Once you join the x10 family, you are always part of it!
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
Give us more impressions about the new phone :)

I'm not a fan of specific phones (maybe 1 week before I buy a new one, and few days after) so I'm curious about LG.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I'll probably add my experiences to DooMLord's thread tomorrow or in the weekend. I might even make a comparison video if I have time.
[XPERIA X10 General] WitchMX:
Its been a few days with the Optimus Black now. First thing you notice s the screen. I read reviews saying that it is a middle point between a normal LCD screen and the retina display but I compared it yesterday for quite a few minutes with it and I really think they are closer. Compared it yesterday with x10's screen and there's no comparison. The phone is responsive and I have seen little to no lag so far. I cannot talk about the LG optimus interface that much cause I jumped to the launcher pro plus right away. I'm loving the front facing camera.

Yesterday comparison with our beloved x10 made me have even more respect for our devs.... My x10 with Wolf's TW 8.1 and goro's custom kernel feels almost as snappy as the Optimus Black, the screen does make a big difference though.

Quadrant score with the Black: 1300-1450. Rooted and with blootware deleted. The phone is barely new so the dev section is still in diapers, hope it gets better.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I already posted this into DooMLord's thread, but since I promised I'll post this here too:

Okay, it's my turn to give some first impressions:

Holy shiet it's thin! A lot thinner than I expected it to be, considering that I thought the X10 was thin already. Also, holy shiet the screen! Simply put, it's gorgeus. The X10's screen just holds no candle to it.

The second thing that hit me was that it's LAG FREE. Like, completely, utterly lag free. When you're used to your phone lagging in every single operation from scrolling down the menus to watching a video, this feels almost unreal. Only thing I don't like at the moment is the icon style Samsung opted to use. It looks cheap and stuff. This phone coupled with the UI style from Sony would be _awesome_.

The all-plastic build doesn't bother me since the X10 is all-plastic too. Also I really like how light it is, especially compared to the X10, and the texture they used in the back cover provides nice grip.

These are of course first impressions, and to be fair I was extremely frustrated by my X10 which gives the SGSII an unfair bias. I'll probably do a more thorough "review" after I've gotten used to the device and probably after the X10 has received it's gingerbread treating just to be fair.

Without root and all the stock apps installed I got 3340 from Quadrant Standard.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
The gpu in the arc is the adreno 205 the x10 uses the adreno 200.

I got rid of my lags on my x10 long ago.

But the sgs has that mali400 GPU.. hmmm.

but i'm personally awaiting the tegra2 based unit.
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
What I've noticed is that the term "lag" is completely subjective. I used my X10 with the latest custom kernel and it still didn't feel as fluid as I would've hoped it to feel. A lot better than without it for sure though. But the point is, what's lagless to you might be laggy to me and vise versa.

The Exynos chipset is better than the Tegra 2 in overall performance, but I believe that the Mali GPU has some flaws like the forced bit depth etc. so if you're really into gaming then go for the Tegra 2 version.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
So after having my g2 since February i decided it was time for a change. After looking around on xda for a bit i decided to do the polished battery door, which can be found here. i didnt polish mine as much because i like the brushed look a bit better. but then i wanted to do something with the HTC and G2 logos. best ide was to blacken them. i decided to also make a tutorial for anyone else who would like to.

step 1 - remove your battery door

step 2 - find a black crayon

step 3 - rub the crayon over the HTC and G2 logos. make sure to press hard while doing this to get the crayon deep into the logo

step 4 - get a plastic scrubby like this.

step 5 - gently rub off the excess crayon that you put on.

step 6 - polish the battery door with a micro fiber cloth.

if you have done all that you should end up with something that looks like mine in the pictures
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Your pictures aren't showing up. Can't wait to see what it looks like
[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
same problem. This seems like a cool idea but i would like to see the picture results first
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
*EDIT* i have put liks in each step for pics.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
Looks cool, but wouldn't the crayon start to wipe and melt away? Is there any clearcoat added after?
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
Yes i don't think its very durable but a clear coat would fix that. there is no clearcoat yet but ill be putting some on soon
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Interested in seeing the clear coat application process.

Tip, OP: when in edit mode, if you click on the image icon next to the link icon and enter the image URL it will show in the post without having to click on it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] desirez_pete:
Can try using plastidip clear.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
That actually looks REALLY nice.. I would have never thought to use crayon to colour in the indentations, props to you. Thanks button hit.

I got some free time in a coupe days so maybe i'll do this. my battery door cover is pretty scratched up and i've been using the phone without a case on lately so this would make it look sweet.

Again, good job!
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
Thanks and I might see if I can find that plastidip stuff at home depot. And to clarify the only reason there are links instead of pics is because the pics would not show up.

*EDIT* i am in the proccess of do this over with more colors. should be up tomorow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stumpyz9:
added a red version and fixed the pics issue somewhat.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Communicator:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
The captivate is my back up phone and id like to jazz it up. Can anyone help me flash this rom? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Depends on wich Cognition you want if 4.x.x or 5.x Either way both have instructions on their Dev thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Ill take the new version and i saw some stuff on the dev page but i dont really understand it. On my infuse all i do is download the zip, and install it thru cwm. Not sure if the cap is the same.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Well for Cog 5 you will need to flash GB bootloaders. BUT the 3 steps on the OP will work. There some risk when flashing bootloaders, but read up on how to use ODIN and they key combinations, nothing to it =)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
I dont know...i looked back on the dev page but i cant download anything since i dont have unknown sources. Ill dig around for a video or something.

I would suggest Flashing Cognition 4.5.3. Its a Froyo based rom but its alot easier to get running runs great easily OC/UV to 1.2ghz I've gotten my phone to 1.4ghz stable (that may vary on your phone)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Sounds good to me, what is the procedure?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If its stock, then its just getting CWM on that phone and flashing it. To get CWM theres a few ways to do that, simplest would be get a 1 click root from dev (AIO toolkit is very useful) and install Rom Manager from the market install CWM. Move the Cog zip file to your phones Internal SD reboot in recovery (Rom manager has the feature to do that) and flash from SD, look for the cog file.

From your description of your problem I would suggest you examine your APN settings. There is a free market app named something like "APN backup and restore" or something like that. You just need to determine what the settings should be for your carrier. Do a Forum search for APN, plenty of posts.

I hope this helps.
