[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Welcome!

Hello, these roms were made in order for people to have recovery-flashable zips of stock roms (not having to rely on tars and Odin). These roms are compiled from Odex and Deodex system dumps and have no other mods besides root, busybox and recovery.

***Disclaimer***

I am not responsible for any damage, be it mental, physical, mechanical, etc caused by the flashing of this rom. If you flash it, you do so at your own risk. Glad we could get that out of the way :)

If any developers want to use these as a base rom, there is no need to ask. Just grab em and go. I made these for themers and other rom developers who don't usually work at making the rom itself, but taking what's there and making it better. I hope it helps out!

Pick Which SD Card You Want Recovery to Read

For now, the recovery on the kernels in these roms tells CWM to read from the internal memory card. If you want it to read from the external memory card go here and download the "Latest Compiled Version". Flash in Odin and CWM will work with the external sd card. These roms run the link under "Older releases".

Installation Instructions

For those who just wanna use it as their daily drivers, here's the installation instructions:

ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING!!!!! <-----Words to flash by.

1. Download rom, put it on your phone.

2. Boot into recovery.

3. FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED. Data AND cache AND dalvik.

3.5 Go back and make sure step 3 has been completed :P

4. Flash rom.

5. reboot and enjoy :)

**Warning**

The flash process and first boot takes a minute. Be patient, it will work!

Known Issues

Okay, for whatever reason, the deodex w/NoCIQ just will not install the MyFiles.apk. This doesn't sound significant. However, without it, the contacts app will Force Close when you attempt to assign a custom ringtone to a contact. There are two workarounds:

1. Get a different file manager, navigate to the sound and manually assign it to a contact.

2. Find the apk (it's in every flashable rom) and install it onto your phone manually.

I will attempt to fix it once an update comes out and I'm forced to play with these roms again. Until then, the workaround works just as well. (thanks lballer59 for finding the problem).
