Nope. The roms posted earlier do not contain any kernel source. They are system rom partition only. A stock kernel has to be developed with CWM built in. Right now there is no way to flash CWM by itself.

He is basically trying to pick up where Bubby left off. Again this kernel is based on the source code Samsung released....not the actual kernel that Bubby pulled from a stock phone.

so, has anyone here had this issue i think some of you have and i want to know if theres any work around or fixes. Using v3 kernel posted here, when i turn on wifi, after a certain period i will lose 3g service, even though it says i have 4/5 bars, 3g goes away, meaning no calls or texts can be made. Only way to fix it is to turn wifi off and restart. I tried beta v4 with same result, and also 4.1beta as well same result. So basically it seems like the only way i don't have LOS issue is to not use wifi at all then it seems 3g stays on...at least it has for now so will see. Any ideas from anyone or is this a known issue in the 4v beta that is being worked on?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
I've had that issue with both WIFI and 4G and I'm on stock. I'll turn either one on and then off again and it tends to bring back my 3G. I don't think this is the LOS issue that most have referred to though. Most have lost the 3G icon only to have it replaced by a circle icon with a line through it. This may indeed be a similar technical issue. The LOS issue with the circle icon and line through it replacing the 3G icon has been completely random for most.

If Zedo doesn't have it done, someone else will, it is still the first two weeks of development lol. Just keep looking around, maybe flash a tar that gives you root? Just until the custom roms become stable.

It is coming my son. HAHA.

I didn't have the issue before root, and I only had it once after root. Not at all since the PRL/Profile update thing (whether or not that is related, who knows).

That said, it is a bit early to start making firm declarations of where the problem exists and doesn't exist... in my opinion, anyway.

Loss of Service Update

Not sure if this helps anyone at all, but these are the results I have seen.

Originally before root I never had the LOS bug.

I rooted using epictouch4grootv1.zip, LOS bug multiple times.

Reboot required to get service back

Rooted again with et4g-rootish5.tar, LOS bug multiple times still.

Rooted with SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v1.tar last night.

So far no LOS service bug and my phone sat idle all night. Here's hoping it

gets through the work day with the same results.

Battery life on Zedo Latest is looking awesome also, thanks man!

Update:

Sadly LOS just hit again. So just updating my PRL and using SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v1.tar did not fix it.

I will now try the MSL fix...

which game specifically? I want to test it out.

How come there aren't overclocking settings beyond 1.6?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
You might want to check your version. Since you say its doing it with stock as well as rooted (so it cant be the kernel). There is a 1.0 and there is an HD 1.0. The HD version will run only on Tegra, which isn't on our phone.

Would a log help you at all? I can go to stock but it's so intermittent that I might as well help find the issue. Anything we can do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
LOS issues: Different take.

I have had the same LOS issues as everyone else. And I have been thinking about the issue. It is happening (though not as much) on the pure stock kernel as well (when people have changed to custom binaries 0 times). This leads me to believe that the issue simply is not a kernel issue. SU may be making it worse, but I don't believe this is the issue entirely. I am fairly convinced there is an issue in the modem (eg30). If this is the case, there is little to nothing any dev can do to fix this. It is all going to be on the end of Sprint / Samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
i have to admit there are some problems with the current overclocking code thats on my kernel but its gonna be updated with new ones from ninpo, bubby323 just told me this so, i would just suggest just using it if you have no problems (like me, I get perfect signal) but if you have problems, use my stock kernel or any other stock kernels out there or even completely stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sterist:
yeah i do get problems with the radios occasionally. v1-3 OC was really bad (but still worth using the kernel :D) it seems to be better on 4.1 beta (haven't tried v4) but maybe it's just in my imagination. it usually occurs when switching/toggling between to/from 3g 4g wifi and airplane move (haven't really used bluetooth or gps). it starts with traffic looping upload then just goes dead entirely til reboot. sorry if I'm not telling you anything you don't already know lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
yup v1-3 or v4 and v4.1beta has problems, i know that, its caz of oc code, which I am updating later this week (when i have time goddammit!!!!), in the meanwhile, this stock kernel should set u straight for now, which I am building off for next v5:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:

All day I've had LOS issues. Sometimes it would get the circle, other times it would seem like the radio was frozen. Stuck at full bars but I couldn't make calls or SMS. With the circle I'd be able to airplane mode fix it, but sometimes I have to reboot.

If I go back to the stock kernel will I lose root? I thought I read that I would just lose overclock and CWM, but keep root. Is this true?

Appreciate all the hard work and will definitely be going back to your kernel once all the little kinks are straightened out :)

My 2 cents on LOS, FWIW:

I've been using Zedomax's kernals since V1. Have had very few LOS issues. Maybe once a few days. Until yesterday. Was on V3 since it came out without significant LOS issue. But yesterday I was getting LOS every 15 minutes. Worse, as many of you know, it happens without warning, so if I'm on WiFi I don't even know about the LOS until I starting getting emails from GVoice with VMs people are leaving me (bc/c my phone won't ring). I switched to V4.1. No better. Constant LOS. Went back to V3. A little better, but still getting LOS about once an hour.

Why would everything change yesterday? The 64k question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its probably a combination of factors. I also have a Nexus and an Epic and for some reason I had terrible signal on all three yesterday and I get full bar 4G where I live

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azr6:
Thank you. What benefit does a unlocked CIQ have?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
CIQ

Carrier IQ is a pretty disgusting program. It has the ability to track... EVERYTHING you do with your phone. It can act as a stop gap between your texts and data, tracking all of that. It can track what you download. What you view online. Pictures you have taken. It tracks EVERY SINGLE PRESS OF THE SCREEN. There is literally nothing you can do on your phone that they cannot track.

Fortunately, according to k0nane, it appears to be turned off by default. Which begs the question, "Why is it even there?"

Removing it, however, will DRAMATICALLY increase your battery life and performance. I would say I got at least 50% better performance and battery life once I flipped to midNIGHT ROM NCIQ (No Carrier IQ). And ptfdmedic (Rob Gorski) and k0nane have knocked it out of this device as well now on midNIGHT ROM. :)

These three are pretty much the most amazing dudes on the planet. Zedo knocks out the best kernels for every device he touches. k0nane puts out some amazing work, for which we sould all be greatful. He puts life back into your phone, making them remarkably faster, and REMARKABLY more private. Rob is one of the best when it comes to kicking out ROMS (he always finds the best stuff, like Zedo's kernel and k0nane's NCIQ), and if you visit his site you can get your hands on it. www.lostandtired.com. While you are there, you should check out the rest of his site. You will see how awesome this guy truly is.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
4.1 seems to be very stable, actually. I have not had any crashes or other real issues, other than the occasional LOS issue, which is fixed by a simple reboot. And I still maintain it is an issue in the modem, being enhanced by super user, rather than a kernel problem.

I switched back to stock from v4. There wasn't that bad of LOS, but it happened once in 4 days, then every half hour it kept doing it. V5 isn't out yet, and he is working on the same work he is doing right now, but with the stock kernel (which is giving me no problems).
