i got titanium backup to store on external but how can i make link2sd see my second ext4 partition. It says it cant see it probaly cuz its only able to read from internal sdcard 11gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
I tried reinstalling everything and the same thing happened. Before I tried flashing yesterday I backed everything up so I am able to get back to the stock root. Should I still try "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."?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes absolutely!

Download SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe from the first link, boot the phone up into download mode, connect the phone to your pc and run that file. Wait for the phone to reboot.

Download the e4gtauto-sfx.exe from the second link.

Run this file so it can self-extract.

Click on "runfirst" from within the folder that gets created (the e4gtauto self extracts to a folder, can't remember what its called)

Your phone will already be rooted from the first file so click on "option C", then on the next page, click on "option J" for the rogue cwm and let it finish!

If you're not certain of any of these steps, PLEASE ask I know they may not be very clear and those posts may be a little difficult to understand if you've never done it before. Cya

Hey DrunkBastard. How did you partition/format the external SD card? I normally unmount the card in settings/storage and format it right from the phone. FYI, back it up the entire contents first :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Invalid argument brotha. You can turn those onscreen softbuttons off on ICS ... for that matter, they don't even show up on the TW ICS roms I've used. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
So basically all I'm doing is rooting the phone again? I did just the other day so I should be able to do it again if thats what I need to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
Quick question, is it normal for this ROM to take a while to completely boot from a clean install? It seems to be hanging on the "Galaxy S 2"(not the triangle) screen for more than what i've experience with other leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok I'm getting confused so much has gone by now.

At what point are you right now? Are you rooted and can you boot up into CWM recovery by holding down the PWR & Vol Up keys? (recovery uses Vol Up, download mode uses Vol down)

Edit: And recovery should say CWM v5.0.2.7 at the top too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Yes I can see the "Team Rogue" in green lol.

I'm flashing this ROM and when I try to flash it just keeps going to the Galaxy S loading screen and it just turns off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok well that's awesome. Are you flashing the format all zip file from within recovery first from the opening page?

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Sorry, Ike I'm just trying to keep it simple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Yeah I flash that first and after that I flash the ROM. I think it was a bad download for the ROM so before I left my house I was redownloading it to see if that was the problem. If you guys have any other ideas that I should try let me know please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That's where I was leaning too. If you're downloading it to your pc, also download and install WinRAR from www.rarlabs.com. I'm pretty sure if you try to open that zip file it will give you an error if the checksum fails so you will know if the rom you download is good or not BEFORE you copy it back over to your phone. If all this works, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button for Maxx and I! :D

Edit: And anyone else that may have helped out too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasKaos:
Did a search for my question but it came back with no response.

Is there a way to get Kise back? I kinda liked what it offered, but obviously it was removed with the ROM/Debloater Zip... So, just wondering how I go about things to get Kise back, if it's even possible.

UPDATE: Never mind, I figured it out myself! I just found the Kise Air apk, installed it, and now am capable of using it again! :) Yay~
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Tried everything with the new download and still the same thing happened. This is weird cause I know how to flash ROMS and I'm flashing everything in the order Maxx said to do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ah yes.. Maxx. Ignore some of his special instructions for now, he added a couple of things I forgot about. Just flash the format all and the rom, nothing else. I suspect your phone may not be happy with the -75 undervolt script. Report back and let me know how it goes.

1. Format All

2. Flash Rom

No undervolt, no special modem, no special kernel.

Let's try a basic setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
http://i.imgur.com/wPPDn.png@tdunham

i always run minitool partitioner on windows 7 to format and create my fat32/ext3/ext4 partitions. So ya i always backup all my files to a folder on pc. My problem is that link2sd doesn't see my external sdcards 2nd ext4 partition, pretty sure its only looking at the internal 11gb storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Its been a while since I used an SD utility. Does it really need to be partitioned? Maybe formatting it right on the phone would make android happy.

Sorry, maybe somebody can chip in and help cause I'm not that familiar with the android DOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
yea it needs to have 2 partitions for link2sd to work. Its never gave me this problem on my g2x,mt4g or g1. Wonder if theres another rom that makes ext_sd default location for storage and not use the internal 11gb storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Okay worked!!!:D

So now if I want those kernels and -75 undervolt what should I do to get those on?

P.S will be thanking you and Maxx a lot :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
LOL. Ok, first of all why not to a nandroid backup!

After that, I think you can do whatever you want but do one thing at a time and reboot to make sure it takes. I don't know if it was a coincidence that the -75 UV was hosing you up maybe try -50 first (with a custom kernel like gunslinger installed, they don't work otherwise so flash gunslinger first). Some phones don't like certain UV settings.

Umm, thanked you for the good news! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
So I got the ROM, Kernel, and Modem flashed. Now you recommend me going with -50 undervolt first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Undervolting is totally optional. It adds to battery savings, not really sure by how much. I would download all of them to the phone, including the stock one. With your luck -50 will lock up the phone too :rolleyes: But at least you can flash the stock back if necessary.

Gotta get some rest dude. I think you can fly on your own for a while. Ciao

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

Ahh, gotcha. So it's more of an app problem. I see multiple threads on xda that match link2sd by using the global search at the very top. Can't tell if any apply to the E4GT though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
ya im gonna go hit up that thread and stop spamming this 1 about my issue lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ike167:
Another question about the ROM it says sprint hotspot hacks... Does that mean its unlocked? Or do need to do something to get it unlocked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
Question for you guys. Running 2.8.1 I believe. I run LCD Density at 160 (perfect on the SII)

previously weatherbug elite works PERFECTLY. absolutely positively zero issues.

since I factory reset and reinstalled everything now weather bug elite no longer works properly. its all tiny. (scaled??)

some research said turn off compatibility mode in spare parts (I do NOT recall doing this previously)

that made it full screen but all the buttons on the bottom are "scrunched" together in portrait mode (again did not do this before)

any ideas what is "different" now that could be causing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No biggie. I was hoping someone would chime in but I guess they're all over at Calk's ICS thread. :)

The Epic 4G Touch Q&A forum might be the place to ask about that app if you can't find what you're looking for anywhere else.

Found these links hope this helps:

Yes, unlocked and free. The only issue I had was an older wifi card wouldn't support WPA2 so I had to change the settings to WPA for it to work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Maxx134:
Hi there are different ways to root and you didnt say how you did it.

BUT Odin is best as it also re-partitions as well as wipes.

Other ways such as backups or scripts just wipe/reformat.

It is also important to know that it is said that:

ICS type roms is partitioned differently,

so if you try to use CWM it tries to install regardless how partitions are

and there is where u can have huge problems.

So Odin always good as it repartitions as well as reformats back to stock.

At least that is what I have read.

Hey you have a good point there, as I am suspecting the 75 undervolt zip is causing some of my app to load my personal sign-in data slowly. I have to close and open again for apps to remember me.

I think from 2.8.1rom, I had alam removed.

Then I installed a blue theme and alarm came back but it changsx as well..

it is smaller and in grey and the CLOCK is also nicely greyed.

SO, the point is you can compare themed files to see how clock is modded.

Where can I see this 160density setting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
it resizes all screen elements "as if" the screen was 1200x700

MUCH better that is the screen size they SHOULD have put on this phone. everything is too damned big at 800x480 waste of a gorgeous screen.

before weatherbug was perfect now its screwed up and I have no idea why or whats different.

Can I "EXPORT" spare parts settings?

I am thinking it has to be in their or something???

maybe I could restore my old image backup spare parts and restore the new image and restore spare parts settings ???

what else could it be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
Camera is funky

I have just started to use the camera (stock) on the epic touch since i had something to post on Craigslist. I immediately noticed a green tint only in the center of the screen. is my camera bad? I switched off the Craigslist app and opened the camera by itself and the same thing happened. I then went back to 100% stock on my nandroid backup... The same thing. So im guessing i have to return to stock and get a new phone, ??? right??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
here is a picture of it with a white background wall! notice the green tint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I would adjust the white balance first. some light sources on certain white balance settings will also cause a green tint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
okay Ill try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
UGHHH. I keep getting LOS on various different modems/kernels. So far the longest I've gone without an LOS is on FC05 with Gunslinger 1.4.1 and Calkulin's 2.8.1 rom.

Anyone have any suggestions...I keep getting LOS randomly...sometimes it'll occur as I'm trying to text someone, or sometime during the night when I'm sleeping. It's getting to be a pain in the ass...

Suggestions for modem/kernel that seems to function best with Calk's updated ROM? I'm leaning away from ICS until something more stable comes out, but seriously this is getting annoying!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
the only options for white balance are presets. no manual settings. UGH! looked at my old evo 4g's camera and wow what a difference. So no setting im seeing is making a difference. Any suggestions anybody?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
you have a bad unit. take it back.

I know this may seem really obvious but make sure the PLASTIC is not on the lens many come with a little bit of plastic film over the lens like whats on your screen when new

this phone has a truly impressive camera. if it don't look right take it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
here's another picture I took it it's got a red tint to it now! picture of my tan carpet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
check for plastic film if no take it back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
nope no plastic film! my son phone does the same thing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Wow, you're still dealing with this huh? You've spent so much time on this why don't you just flash the one click odin to go back to stock rooted, reflash CWM and give it a couple of days to see if you're still having issues. If not, then flash a fresh load of 2.9.2 and try the same thing. Run as bare as possible (don't flash ANY new modems, kernels or UV scripts). I would even be wary of restoring any apps, at the very least apps but no data for the bare necessities.

Or, wipe phone, full rom install (from a FRESH download) and leave it totally stock.

Edit: Have to tried any of the original stock modems yet? Also, if you wipe you should reflash a stock modem (EL or EG) anyway since re-flashing a rom won't change the modem you're using, only the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I'm going to attempt a fresh install of the rom, modem and kernel using all fresh downloads. Wiping using Format All first...Worst case scenario, I'll just restore from my last working setup...sigh. I really wanted the kernel to work...

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Hmmm...does Calk's 2.8.2 not function with Gunslinger 1.4.1? My phone no longer boots past the "S," and eventually just shuts down...I mean I can just go back into CWM and restore...but this is kind of annoying...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Is it possible this problem start occurring when you starting using these leaked modems? Try using the OEM ones EL or EG modems.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Also, remember restoring backups or flashing new roms doesn't replace the modem. You have to do that manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I'm pretty positive its the leaked modems causing the issue, but the old modems always gave me trouble with GPS. It wasn't until I hit FC05 that I was able to get solid GPS locks regularly...wish there was a magic bullet to solve all my problems lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'd rather GPS issues than total LOS :)

Have you tried fasterfix for that GPS problem yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
That is true...but the reason why I was messing with new modems was because of all the "OMG MY GPS WORKS NOW!" posts I kept reading...

I've been using GPS Status...but its so annoying, and downright embarassing. I was on a road trip this weekend with some friends, and they were all on their iPhones. It was sad that I couldn't get a solid lock until playing around for with GPS Status...sigh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Can't believe everything you hear. I started hearing "OMG my battery life is so good with EL13 Kernel/EK02 modem". Same thing, didn't make much difference for me. Everybody's phone and setup are different so different results.

What are you using GPS for anyway? Driving?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MJHawaii:
Try going to build no. 2.9.2 I am running the rogue gunslinger kernal and then I flashed the FC15 modem this setup flys see if it works for you try doing a full wipe and flash the format all prior to installing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Hey MJ. You're right in a way. Are you running an ages old setup dcx?

BTW, sounds like you got a bad download on the 2.9.2 you tried to install if it keeps hanging.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
I use it for driving here and there...sometimes just to do navigation on google maps...

I had redownloaded and reinstalled the rom to no avail. Just always hangs when I'm trying to install both...what do you mean by ages old setup?

I had tried to install 2.9.2, but for some reason it doesn't boot when installed with Gunslinger 1.4.1...not sure why.

Since I'm on here, any suggestions in regards to Titanium Backup? I want to remove some bloatware, do I need to have pro for it? Is getting pro worth it?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Are you JUST installing the rom and rebooting (no kernel/modem/undervolt)?

Speaking of which, you're not running any UV scripts are you?

Ages old = you've been running it for a while.

Sometimes it's time to start fresh and restore apps.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Oh, you just reminded me...

Someone once said that some GPS issues are related to using Google Maps.

Don't know if this is true since I haven't really noticed any problems with mine, ever. But, I use Waze. Its free and its friggin awesome. Tells me when a red light camera is coming up, warns me about police, accidents and so on.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Titanium is the best. I normally just strip out the bloat manually before I install a rom, but with Titanium I can easily remove the system (bloatware) apps I miss or don't want any more. Plus I can freeze half my apps without removing them and backup/restore everything without breaking a sweat.

Edit: Try out the free one first of course :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
No UV scripts. I have been running this setup for some time now, maybe since December...But yea, was going to do all that once a stable ICS build comes out...

I've heard about Waze...maybe I'll give it a shot. So right now running on Calk's 2.8.1, 1.4.1 Gunslinger and FC14 Modem. Seems like its solid. GPS working fine. Will leave it this way until next LOS, or overnight before I try something new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think a lot of us are waiting for the actual Samsung release cause we're probably going to have to go through another learning curve while the developer's revamp that one too. There are a lot of crazy predictions but it could be another month or more before we actually see ICS pushed out by Samsung/Sprint for this phone.

Plus, like lots of folks, I use my phone for business. I might flash something new over the weekends, but it's back to GB by Monday for me. :cool:

Let me know how Waze works out for you.

Hey guys, I rooted my friends epic touch today with zedomax method and kernel through Odin.and now he is getting lots of freezing and he needs to reboot the phone, also the mean reason we rooted the phone was for that he can use the wireless tethering app and that does not work either it turns on but we can't pick up any signal from the phone.

but I'm looking to flash this rom I'm a big fan of calk's from the evo 4g times.

My question is how do i flash this rom? Should it be flashed through a recovery like cwm, or through Odin?

Second question is what is all those modems zips for? And is it necessary to flash one of them for the rom to run correctly?

I would appreciate help guys very much.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcxgod:
UGH. Ok, followed all instructions (StArTeD fRoM sCr, redownloaded every file). Did everything to the dot. Managed to get to the part where I'm installing Rom, modem and kernel via CWM. However, when im rebooting the system, it hangs and eventually shuts off at the "S" logo loading...

I noticed I had this problem last time when trying to install Calk's 2.9.2 with Gunslinger 1.4.1. I assumed the files I've been downloading are fine...but people are telling me that the files may be faulty?

So...I went back into CWM, flashed Format All once more and reinstalled the ROM but not gunslinger. Now it seems to boot fine. My kernel is currently on EL29. Any suggestions as to why I can't seem to install Gunslinger? Can someone post a link to the kernel in case I've been trying to install an incorrect one?

Thanks!

OK NOW IT WORKS!!! SWEEEEEET. Thanks for all the help everyone. really wish I backed up my stuff using titanium, but w/e lol.
