[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
i already added that tweak which I LOVE, what i was asking for was if theres a way to disable waking the screen with the volume buttons, i only want my screen to wake if i press the power button or receive an incoming call/text/data msg

Before you begin do the following:

C. Download the following 4 files on your Windows PC:

TIME TO ROOT:

1. enable debugging mode in phones setting by checking the box (leave it always on from this point forward until we are completely flashed)

2. power off

3. hold volume down then power together until you see the download screen

4. release buttons and tap the volume up once

5. on pc, locate that big exe on pc you dl'd first: SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe

6. Double-click on SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe to open the odin tool

7. plug your phone into pc via usb and look for a yellow box (this step may take a while if you've never plugged your phone into your Windows PC under debug mode before as it will search your PC for the correct samsung drivers and copy files around)

8, once the odin shows some activity in the log it will list some sort of samsung modem.

9. click start in odin screen on PC

10. note the blue progress bar on phone and allow it to reboot on its own after the blue bar fills up

11, phone should boot back into stock rom and appear unchanged, check your applications menu and look for SUPERUSER

12. congrats, your now rooted.

FLASH RECOVERY TO CLOCKWORKMOD:

13. open the other exe we downloaded: e4gtauto-sfx.exe (disable antivirus as it will report a false/positive that is required in this step)

14. wait a while, phone should reboot and appear stuck at the 4g screen for a while, leave it alone for at least 5-10minutes if you grow impatient, its doing something important (rewriting cache) so don't disturb

15. you can close the left open command prompt window on your pc now

16. phone should eventually boot back into stock rom and scan media

17. power off

18. hold volume up then power together at the same time and wait for some blue lettering to appear and read clockwork mod recovery v.5.0.2.7 (samsung logo may appear twice and blue led twice, this is normal just keep holding and waiting, if it boots into android power off and try again)

19. press home key to reboot

20. power off and disconnect usb from phone

FLASH TO NEWER MODEM:

21. get into ODIN Download mode by holding VOLUME DOWN then POWER together, press up to continue

22. on Windows PC unzip Odin3.-v1.85.zip and then open the Odin3 v1.85.exe

23. click the phone slot and look for the E4GT_Modem_FC07.tar we downloaded earlier, select that

24. plug phone back into PC via usb and wait for odin to recognize and become sync'ed

25. inside the windows ODIN tool: uncheck f.reset time and ALWAYS MAKE SURE the only box that is checked is "auto reboot"

26. click start, phone should reboot in a little bit on its own when its done with this stage.

27. phone should boot back into stock android, check your sd card for up to 2gb free space so we can make a complete backup of your phone before we flash it away

28. power off, unplug phone from usb

BACKUP OLD ROM:

29. get into CWM recovery by holding VOLUME UP then POWER together

30. look for backup/restore and press the VOLUME DOWN key to scroll down and select it with (crap i forget which button it was but its one of the soft keys)

31. find backup and run it (with sams soft key that acts as enter)

32. smoke a bowl and wait for your old stuff to fully backup, it will take the longest time when it says: Generating md5 sum

33. reboot and power off, or just power off

FORMAT DEVICE PARTITION:

34. get back into CWM recovery by holding VOLUME UP then POWER together

35. look for install zip from sd, select it, and press enter

36. look for choose zip from sd, select it, and press enter

37. find calkulins Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT.zip, select it, and press enter

38. scroll down to the single yes, select it, say good bye to your old rom, and press enter

39. go back to the first screen (power button takes you back in this older CWM)

40. find wipe cache/partition, select it, and press enter. if it asks again continue

41. find advanced, select it, press enter

42. find wipe dalvic, select it, press enter, and continue again

FLASH CUSTOM ROM:

43. go back to main CWM menu, find install zip from sdcard, select, enter

44. find Calkulin's_E4GT_ROM_v2.9.2.zip on your sd card, select it, enter

45. install the rom (may have to scroll down a list of no's till you can select yes)

46. when install is complete back out to the main menu and select reboot

47. cross your fingers for the reboot as the rom will hang sometimes (mine didn't so if you followed these steps exact chances are yours wont either)

48. look for the new boot animation, if it keep looping this is very good, smoke another bowl and wait for your phone to prepare itself. if its frozen at the first samsung screen, um try rebooting, or ask another member as i haven't encountered this yet.

49. phone should eventually boot into this sweet rom and you will have a new kernal as well as a new CWM recovery installed, you can test by powering off and booting into CWM modem (volume up+power) the text will be green and the power button is now the enter button, volume up and down are the scroll up and down, and back is the back button. you can flash new roms very easily at this point repeating some steps above at your own discretion

50. enjoy the goodness and donate to calkulin
