I have tried every kernel out. Right now, stock rooted is the way to go. If you Odin stock over v3, you will still have root. I think the next round of kernels may be a different story though . The battery life on stock kernel is unmatched right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
@zedomax- do you have any experience from other phones?... In asking this cuz i think im gunn try to make a kernel or something once i get ubuntu set up... I dont really have much experience but a little lol... Thanks for your work man :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
hmm, i odin'd v3 then stock kernel but lost root. su is still there but no root so are you sure your rooted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I know how to build an Evo 4G/3D kernel. Lol, I am launching AndroidKernels.com soon, where I am going to post kernel compile howtos. Watch for that, I will also have video tutorials.

Is this with CWM, stock kernel, and SuperUser? All in v4?

That would be sick. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
That would be correct!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Hey zedomax, looks like you still have the su binary in the wrong spot. I can't auto update it from SuperUser. You need to reference drmacinyasha's post from earlier in this thread...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
If you are on v3 you already have Superuser 3.0 plus the binaries, are u on v3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Yeah, but as soon as a new binary is released, i won't be able to update again. This is the only kernel/rom I've used in forever that the update feature in SuperUser wouldn't work.

ALso, wifi tether is causing SuperUser to force close.

Edit In: it is only force closing when I tell Super User to remember allow on wifi tether, if I don't check remember it works

hit me with an email address and I'll get you a logcat
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
thats weird, its working fine here, no force close on wifi tether. u can email me at zedomax[at]gmaildotcom

does the kernel version get stored in a CWM backup?

as in, if I make a CWM backup running v2 then blow up my phone and flash a new one with v3, will restoring my old phone's backup put me back on v2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Don't know what happened with v3, but the stock from ACS is working without battery drain....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Yes, you will be back on v3 because CWM backups up your kernel/ROM, everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Ahhhhhh! I can't fackin' wait!!!! I went back to stock and have had ZERO problems with data/everything. If he can get the stock kernel on there, CWM, and SuprUser I will most likely CRAP MY PANTS. :p

Woohoo my man, V3 baby ..

little overwhelmed & excited, do i flash this with ODIN using the same process

for V1 and V2?

if theres any new steps please let me know before i start it !

EDIT: after reading the previous pages im more confused than before,

i know you said to mount as a disk drive -- which i have no clue how to do

if it wont even pickup my phone through USB.

some posts are saying they ODIN'd V3 then flashed stock with root?

i dont understand, does that mean they flashed your V3 than went back to stock?

totally mind-effed right now, dont wanna go into this without fully 100% understanding the new V3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
I'd wait for v4 if I were you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
You said v4 will have bubby's initframs. Its also gonna be based off of stock too right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Yes, I am running that right now, but still i9100 boot screen until bubby's releases the kernel source code. Or its in binary so then no way to put that image back yet...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enormous:
It's not in his github?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Damn. Can't wait for the original boot image. But still loving the kernel :) Good work man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
*big collective sigh*, Is Zedo's v4 going to be stock kernel? or should i just use bubbys method? I just want to go back to stock at this point until everything is sorted correctly.

Still in the dark on how to mount this as a disk drive, considering USB mounting doesnt work in V2.

So until someone can answer my question correctly im stuck on V2, which isnt bad by any means but i'd like to at least KNOW the options to get back to stock if needed & get USB back.

uploading now for beta testing, can someone test for LOS? although we know that's not kernel related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Bubby said he put the source in his

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
The LOS is kernel related. I haven't had one issue where I had to reboot today. Flashed stock kernel 2 days ago.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 09busa:
OK I just put v4 on my phone and all seems to be still working. SU and cloclwork working. Still have the yellow triangle on boot. Now I will see if after 6 hours I have LOS. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffyv2:
Will there be a v4 beta zip for cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
Quadrant score dropped quite a bit I guess because kernel isn't stock. I still appreciate the effort.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
you must have a time machine since the stock kernel wasn't released until about 24 hrs ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Do you have the I9100 screen or the Touch screen? The yellow triangle is normal because the kernel isn't stock once you bake CWM and customizations into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
I know it's not strictly kernel related but my personal experience so far shows it happens less on stock. With V3 yesterday at work, I had LOS three or four times. Today on stock, I had none. Virtually identical amount of use and signal levels both days too. :confused:

You're getting the yellow triangle because you're not using official Samsung firmware. I would doubt that we'll ever see a kernel/root/CWM package that eliminates the triangle but you never know.

I know there is better quadrant scores then this but DANG!!! and look at smartbench 2011... Im happy as can be right now.

I haven't had a LOS in since I flashed, I used it all day today pretty much. Don't know if this works for anybody else but when I got LOS on v3 I just reset the radio by using an airplane mode widget and always got it back within a few secs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Hey are you overclocked and if so, zedo, should we be using interactive or ondemand governor?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Ondemand saves battery i prefer!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bountyhunter1000:
Yes, yes zedo v3, that was on performance. I run in interactive normally and only get 50-100 on average less on quad. I like interactive better then on demand. It seems to give my better bat life cause it does not just peg then drop then peg again. It goes to where it needs to be then levels off. On demand might be quicker and produce slightly better benchmarks though. But if you benchmarking performance is where its at.

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

Then again I could be wrong...LOL. I've said it before I'm no dev and I give my opinion based on experience. The devs are the knowledgeable ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
On demand has been the best for battery/performance for me on this phone and my Epic. I thought interactive was a little more aggressive than on demand as it uses the higher frequencies more. On demand will only grab that top frequency when opening an app, running benchmarks,etc then settle back to your lower frequency when doing things like reading threads on XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
imo your all correct cause theres lots of factors for each person. i just see what works best in my case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Ondemand for battery starved, interactive for near the charger, performance for gamers near the charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bountyhunter1000:
Thats always the best way to go. Take it all in and use what you want. Do your own testing. That is half the fun all this flashing goodness, at least to me. Its just when I have to make a choice things get all screwy. I can never make up my mind. Lol. Stock kernel and no LOS ( still good BTW) or over clocked awesomness? EVO 3d or gs2? This ROM or that? So many choices so little battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cruton:
v4 beta still has the LOS issue I just found out. Just to give a little more information to the powers that be, I've had this phone stock for the first week with no LOS problems so I believe that any issues Sprint is having are separate from the issues the rooted kernel has.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
dunno, flashing bubba's initramfs made my phone slow on v4beta, is anyone else getting this? I think v3 was working perfect, now all my 3g is so slow and quadrant scores are all below 4000 even overclocked to 1.503Ghz, was getting like near 4400 before... I might just switch back to v3 tomorrow. dang it, dont break what aint broke.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffyv2:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 09busa:
Just went back to version 3. At least it is good for about 6 hours before LOS. Thanks for your work and enjoy your days away for your brain to rest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
What version of the kernel? I'm on V3 and initially I had problems with my paid apps as showing as previously purchased but eventually they got all linked up. Pocket Legends installs fine for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] klub242:
V3. Weird thing is if I uninstall the Market updates the old Market lets me install the apps (if it downloads quick enough before it auto updates the Market app).

Although... it does occur to me that I made the dumb mistake of not clearing the cache and dalvik cache when I flashed from stock. That could be the cause.

Edit: Indeed, fixed! Wiped cache and dalvik-cache, cleared Market data and uninstalled Market updates one more time, and it worked. You would think I would know better from other phones. Oh well, problem solved.

Edit 2: NOT. I was wrong. Still not letting me install them. Skype either. Also, market.android.com also shows them being incompatible, leading me to think it's not the Market app that's the problem but that my phone is identifying itself wrong in the build.prop or something like that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 09busa:
Went back to v3 and got MSL and reset the phone. Will see if when I wake up I have LOS.

I had been getting LOS and 10-20% battery drain every night since v1, but on v4 now and no LOS and just a 3% drain tonight. I know the issue isn't fixed, but it's been a positive change for me so far. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
On V4 for 8hrs or so. Obviously too early to say everything's fixed but so far no issues to report. My battery drain has been normal and LOS has not occured YET (fingers crossed). Gonna hold here for a while.

Sorry, I missed a days worth of action here working. I just wanted to be known that sometimes I wipe more than three times. Especially when I mess with touch whiz. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bountyhunter1000:
Idk. Been using v4 beta since it droped. No LOS even while using roam control, and my quadrant and sm scores or way higher then on v3. But no where near 4400 like z is getting. Huh maybe it's hardware or the fact I'm using launcher pro plus (i can not stand touchwiz).

Do we know if all these phones use identical hardware? Ex. The EVO 4G has 2 different screens made by 2 different manufacturers. This was not ever noted anywhere within the phone (hardware version). Maybe something is different here. Idk. There seems to be a "it's perfect" or it a "a problem" post with every change made. Imo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] czm2000:
I just had to chime in here. I've been watching for a while and waiting for things to iron out. I used to jump right in but don't have the time anymore to mess around too much. I appreciate all you early adopters and your efforts.

Anyway, just wanted everyone to know I experience LOS sometimes as often as everyday sometimes I can go a day or two without any problems. Only a reboot will get it back. But I have done NOTHING to my stock phone. My point is I wonder if there is an inherent problem that is magnied by this rooting process.

Just a thought...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 09busa:
ok early this morning I went back to v3 and did the MSL fix to reset everything and went to bed. When I woke up alittle over 6 hours later the phone was not on LOS. I wanted to see how long it would be good since before with v3 and NO MSL fix it was LOS after that amount of time. I had to reboot the phone due to an app being a pain but so far I think MSL reset was a good thing. I will keep you all updated if I get a LOS today.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Great point Darren. Don't "set on boot" until you run alot of video and music apps because they tend to push the phone harder. If you freeze with "set on boot" selected, you could be in for a headache.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
Just wanted to chime in while Z is taking a little break that I've been running v4 since he posted it and I've had one LOS (obviously would rather have none but one reboot and fixed, not a real big deal). I will add that while I know there is an ongoing discussion about whether this is an Epic 4G Touch issue or if it is a aftermarket kernel issue, I waited several days before rooting running stock everything with not a single LOS or any other signal related issues. I'm certainly not complaining because it's not a very big deal in my instances to do a quick restart usually once a day to fix it. I think it is definitely an issue with this kernel and I'm sure with access to stock kernel now that it will get ironed out. My real point was to inform Z that whatever changes were made in v4, the battery life has been much, much improved. So, outside of a single reboot because of LOS, the most recent beta v4 release seems to be a really good step forward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
If it is a kernel issue then how come the fully stock users get LOS?

I had 2 LOS on v2 then I switched to v3 and have had NO LOS since it was released. I suspect it is a sprint issue since stock users have the LOS as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I just installed mint from the market with no issues. I'm running v3 of this kernel btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
Obviously I can't say for a fact that I know anything for certain. In addition, it's hard to say with so many of us using these releases, what exactly everyone is experiencing (no or low signal determined by disappearance of 3g icon or the circle icon with line through it). Without getting into a back and forth with anyone, I'll just say that in MY OWN experience I have only received the loss of signal (circle icon with line through it replacing my 3g indicator icon) when using v3 and v4 releases of this kernel. As I said, my point of posting was to inform that I think v4 (beta release) seemed to be a good improvement. As far as the LOS issues, so far on v4 (beta release) I've only had one LOS instance since its release and the battery life has been a tremendous improvement. Hopefully all this info helps in the continued improvements. Thanks again.
