Dont confuse the two Calk threads that look similar but other one is ICS rom.

Dont use that other thread as it is for more advanced users who dont mind having bugs.

How did you root?

Look at your Phone settings and find out which rom/kernal version you have.

Use the "one-click" odin stock flash thats rooted.

here is a link for EL29:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

Download, install, run.

Press power&down on your phone, and should have no prob from there flashing,

as long as you have Samsung drivers for the computer.

Now you will have rooted stock rom.

To get CWM:

power up, leave on,

First enable "USB Debugging/", by goig to:

Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging.

Now connect to computer again.

Install and run CWM installer [e4gtauto.zip] from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Press option C to get list

Press "letter" option for your version with CWM-Rogue

After finish you will have a rooted rom with CWM-Rogue

Now your ready to install Calk rom, get these zip files:

EDIT: USE CALK 3.0 ROM AS IT BETTER & HAS DESIRED KERNAL ALREADY

Download the zip "Calk format all zip" (in first post) to your mem card

Download this rom to your memory card..(I still prefer 2.9.1 over 3.0 rom)

Dowload FD24 modem to your mem card

Download the Rogue v1.4.1 Gunslinger (ZIP) kernal to your memcard from third post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341564

If your using latest 3.0 rom it already has the 1.4.1 kernal.

Download Calk 50 undervolt scipt in second post to your mem card

(OPTIONAL, to save battery. Try this LAST after your up and running and backed up.)

NOW:

Press power&up and hold untill you see CWM-rogue

select "install from sd card" using up/down buttons

select each zip in the order above.

It is important to use format all zip before flashing rom.

You can reboot each time or install all of them at once.

once you have Calk rom installed, you only have to press power button to go to CWM-rogue

This is the simplest way I know to get a perfect running setup.

Also good to know the one click odin is safest way for coming from ICS back to this GB rom.

GPS issues with Googlemaps seems resolved after FC14.

For better data reception FC24 is best, but uses more battery.

Currently using FD24 although FD26 seems quickest and good GPS lock.

NOW ON FE14 HOLDING BEST ON LOW SIGNAL AREA.

Latest tested FC22&24, FD24&26, FE16&22&14.

Rogue 1.4.1 Kernal is used in this post was chosen because it had highest benchmark scores in my testing..

Edit: Also USE THE PERFORMANCE TWEAKS HERE! ! ! here for better battery:

I use Handcent but you may need to go into settings while in your default messaging app to setup additional notification settings. They are different than the standard phone settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
Hey! I didnt know that :)

I edited my post slightly.

EDIT:

Did you try FC14 modem?

You should try as it is the first modem where I feel GPS lock has been fixed.

Also just letting you know I got highest benchmarks with 1.4.1Rogue-gunslinger kernal,

Compaed to the 1.3.0 kernal, but I haven't tested 1.1.3, or used long enough to notice how is the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don't you friggin jinx me Maxx, I'll come over there and break something :D

I am using FC14 with 1.4.1 Gunslinger kernel and it's working great. However, I haven't had any of the notorious GPS problems (YET, don't make me come over there LOL). I use the free WAZE gps navigation app. It's awesome! A must have gps program and haven't had any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Thanks guys! I though they were both ICS ROMS. So I'm going to give this ROM a try with the details you gave me. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tygger:
I'm not using the GO Launcher, but every time I hit the home button, it defaults the GO Launcher home forcing me to hit the back button repeatedly to back out of it.

Do I have something setup incorrectly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If you have the full Rom installed, find the app called 'Home Switcher'.

Click on clear default, scroll down to 'clear defaults', select it and see if that allows you to change your default launcher back to touchwiz.

I think you can download this app from the market for free if its not installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t0mmyr:
no problemo :) i had a hell of a time just trying to find what i needed to do in order to flash my phone the first time so like i said it was a mess of notes i took when someone helped me, im sure there are better methods and i like your clean and simple directions, im actually quoting you so i can reference your post later when i flash my wifes phone so that i may skip a few of the steps that were probably redundant before, btw its good to see another familiar screen name posting here :)

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

this one didn't work the way i wanted it to, actually it broke the long press volume keys to skip music. and my phone still wakes up when i press the volume keys.

maybe im looking in the wrong area for this addon, it seems like these may be a universal android tweak, or at least for our phones, that i should be looking for, is there a thread with a bunch of mods we can flash to our phones to ever so slightly tweak the way it works?

again, i'm just looking for something that will let me skip tracks in my music player (google music or pandora) with the screen off, and i don't want my screen to wake up when i do press the volume keys (i get mixed results if the screen is locked or in my unlock grace period)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] likeurface:
Isnt there a .zip in the second post that stops screen from waking with volume buttons? I flashed it a while back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bb4arson:
are you on 2.9.2 I just tested the GPS lock and it toom mine around 5 to 6 seconds..

Maybe its your area .idk
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
HAha don't worry GPS problem was app specific more with Google Nav than anything and it seems fixed now with FC14 modem.

I think I will stop upgrading for a while while I am ahead also.

Ha yea I noticed you right away & yes its nice to see you too.

I had flashed two more phones my brothers and niece we have same phones.

I forgot to mention that I extracted "samsung media hub" app from the rom zip before I flashed it. Less bloatware.

You can also uninstall with "root Uninstaller" app.

Also the "Blue Transfusion Mixer ThemeV2.1 is very nice addon for the phone..

but whatch out it has both animations so you have to also select extra file to select one or other.

This is the first phone I have owned that I feel I use more than my laptop which is getting lonely from non-use ha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Try a different modem, updating Profile & PRL (then rebooting). Also, an app called 'FasterFix' is available from the market for free a lot of users recommend it for fixing their GPS issues.

If you have any further problems, go see Maxx (it's all his fault) :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Art Vandelay:
I'm about the flash from CM9 Beta on FC14 modem..hopefully flashing from CWM after using calkulin's format all will cause no problems..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It may work but I believe what is becoming more standardized is to one click odin the stock rooted rom, re-install the correct CWM, boot into recovery, use calkulin's wipe and install your rom from there.

There have been a lot of issues coming from a non-gingerbread rom back to gingerbread unless the one-click odin back to rooted stock is done first.

Maxx had a good post (with links) on how to do this a few posts back. Good luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I seem to have a lot of LOS issues when flashing any of the new FC modems (FC 07 and up). I had no problems with FC05, but after flashing FC07 this weekend and FC14 last night, I noticed I kept losing service regularly, requiring me to constantly reboot my device. I'm not back on Calk's 2.8.1 ROM after restoring to my previous Nandroid backup. Is it 2.9.2 giving me issues?

Here's what I'm on now:

Baseband Version: S:d710.10.s.FC05

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097

Build Number: Calkulins.E4GT.ROM.v2.8.1

Thanks for any suggestions.

PS, I'd really rather not do a full wipe as I have a ton of data I'd like to keep...any suggestions?

You never said if it's working for you now again with FC05. I haven't seen any reports of LOS with this rom with the FC modems. You're updating Profile & PRL whenever you flash a modem correct? Just on a wild chance, have you tried another kernel other than EL29 stock also?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I haven't played with a new kernel, and yes I've been updating Profile and PRL. Interestingly enough, last night I had a terrible time updating anything on any modem. I had to restore to my current rom because of all the issues...

The reason I kept EL29 was because I never had an issue with it...what combo do you recommend?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beekersguy:
first, I love this ROM. Fast and clean.

Quick question - I've flashed Gunslinger kernel and FC15 Modem. Do I need to ODIN back to rooted EL29 if I want to try a different GB ROM, or is that only if I'm using an ICS ROM?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I would recommend one of the Rogue custom kernels. I'm using Gunslinger 1.4.1 right now. Do you use Titanium? I would try a fresh install of 2.9.2, flash the FC modem and see how it runs before you try to reinstall your apps. Maybe something's conflicting. FYI, I always copy the kernels/modems to the internal or external SD from the pc then boot into recovery. It's easier to manage that way. It might be me but I noticed that the FC modems take a while to flash too.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Yes coming from ICS is totally different. You just need to make sure you already have the new Rom downloaded to the phone. Then you go into recovery and do a FULL wipe before flashing any new rom unless its an upgrade to what you're using now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I seem to have a lot of bad luck with Titanium...I'll consider it.

Just to make sure. Wipe, install rom, then modem, then kernel, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Really? I love it! Took me a while to get used to the batch installs of all the apps though.

Yes, you should be able to do it all in the same recovery session.

Just out of curiosity though. Did you ever try clearing the cache and dvalik in recovery when you did the upgrade? I know the upgrade does it for you anyway but... let it boot up, do your updates, let it settle in with your apps and then try to clear the 2 caches in recovery again. Just something else to try. :)

Edit: I always do a fresh install, not an upgrade. Just personal preference. Also, the issues I notice with Titanium is when you restore all the data along with the apps. Sometimes it's best to do the data restore seperately after a reboot.

Question for you guys. I am running 2.8 rogue kernel.

in the recovery screen there is a backup and restore function.

is this a "COMPLETE" system backup and restore? IE backup factory wipe restore and its like you never changed a thing kind of backup?

or are their some things it won't backup?

can I do multiple backups?

if the system goes "splat" how do you get into this menu on bootup? ie what keys to press hold etc..

does this also backup the internet SD card ? when you do a factory wipe does it wipe the internal sd card?

how do I know what I need to and do not need to backup from the internal SD card if it does NOT back this space up ? is there a program to do this on the droid?

thanks!

Remove the battery for 3-5 minutes. Turn the phone on by holding Pwr & Vol Down to see if it will stay in download mode. If that works, use the one-click odin back to stock rooted recovery method posted by Maxx on page 977 of this thread.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

You're asking for a lot of info. Google 'Nandroid backup'.

The backup/restore is called a 'nandroid'. It will backup your android operating system and apps to a folder on the internal sd (clockworkmod/backups). You should backup your system once in a while and you can 'restore' it to a previous working setup if you need to. Be aware that the backups do take up space so keep an eye on how much storage your internal SD is using.

To get to recovery, turn the phone off and press PWR & Volume Up and hold until it boots into recovery.

A wipe does not destroy the data on the internal SD and the only way to backup all of it's contents is to copy them to your computer with the phone connected.

Yes that is correct.

Just to be clear. You should NOT restore a nandroid backup if coming from an ICS rom and if you're switching between Gingerbread ROMs you should always do a full wipe first (or use Calks Format All) before restoring a nandroid backup.
