You're doing a great job Hoff and i'm waiting on your conversion to make the jump to MTD. I trust your work based on how awesome legendary ROM has been. Take your time. You can't rush awesomeness.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
As per usual, please take your time. Sure, we all want the latest and greatest, until it's not totally done and a few people screw their phones. Now that you're looking into changing file systems and such, I figure that's probably a higher probability than previously. So, I'm sure I speak for many of us (if not, well too bad) when saying, take your time, test the fool out of it, and we'll all be happy. It's not like we're paying you anything! We appreciate the hard work you put in, I honestly haven't thought about flashing anything new since I updated to 2.1 a few weeks back.

A big thanks to those way moar smarters than me, and provided a guide to take this over to MTD, which I litereally just got done doing. Everything (so far) is working great.

The one and only thing I may change to would be CM7 "if" they get 4G working at some point in time. If not, and I realize it's not a priority, then I will almost certainly stick with whatever ROM you and the ERA boys put out. You guys do fantastic work, and I say thanks.

So if we have already converted legendary 2.2 to mtd then this will do nothing correct? I guess what I'm asking is nothing new in it other than mtd?

[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I think that's correct.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hoffman1984:
Well the idea is that if you're running Legendary 2.2 it will do nothing... If you're on MTD\EXT4, it will perform the proper installation for your partition.

It's REALLY getting to me tonight, because it seems I've taken a few steps back from my position a few days ago. lol Nothing's working again. But I still have until the 6th (when the poll ends) to get things done. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
...........you'd be surprised how powerful an option it is for the average user to not have to convert files over' as some of us did in the past few days, namely those of us lucky to be plugged into this thread...............the power differential is in the slower adopters that are just now finding the benefits of taking their devices in your direction (+ allowing them an either/or path at their discretion).........please release 2.2 mtd/ext at your own pace + pleasure.............And keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] The_Legendary:
Yeah man take your time, will you be implementing anything new into 2.2-MTD/

I do suggest you add the smooth scrolling mod and possibly the lag fix.

I am happy you are doing this, I had a hard time getting the backups to work right after converting, but I did make a nice zip of it instead and wow it is so much easier then restoring that stupid backup everytime.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
The only problem I'm having is the screen not turning back on. If I don't play with my phone for a while or shut the screen off, sometimes it just won't turn back on. I know my phone is on because I can still hear some sounds and the keyboard still lights up. Is there anything to fix this? I've tried flashing this Rom multiple times and it does the same thing on my brother's phone as well. What would be causing the screen to not turn on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Try disabling 100 in voltage control... some phones don't like that frequency...

sent from my MTD powered Legendary Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
I just tried that and it looks like it's still doing it. Sometimes I'll just have to take my battery out and reset my phone. I shouldn't have to do this every time my screen won't turn back on.

If you're undervolting it could also be that...

Well, it looks like everything is enabled except for 1500, 1400, 1300, and 1200 Mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Disable 100 (and 900 as I have found that frequency to be very buggy regardless of the kernel I am using...)

sent from my MTD powered Legendary Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
Ok I just tried that and so far so good. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. Also, I am on BML. Would it make a difference being on MTD?

Update: Hmm, looks like it's still doing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Probably not and I would wait out mtd until hoffman puts up his mtd version... I did the conversion myself and it would not restore from a backup after doing it a couple of times...

sent from my MTD powered Legendary Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
My backup worked fine. I flashed a theme for someone to test and then restored everything fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
So you took Lengendary from BML to MTD, then made a nandroid and were able to restore the entire thing? Did you have to do each part (system, data) individually, or did you just do a straight restore?

I just made the conversion last night, and just heard about noles having issues. I'm hoping this isn't a problem that just wasn't detected until recently!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Has anyone tried flashing the zip of legendary 2.2 mtd and then made a nandroid to see if that would restore?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Forum Runner
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Just restore the whole thing. Once you flash CleanGB or whichever converts you, you now have an MTD CWM5. So once you make a backup of your new MTD setup you can restore it fully on MTD. Note you can no longer use ROM Manager because it does not support MTD clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If anyone was looking for the ALLBLUERC21 mod with blue Legendary and ERA in dropdown, it somehow did not upload before and there is a dropbox link in my MOD thread for it until I reupload it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Same here: been toggling between Legendary + CM7_wimax since early this morning, and Legendary MTD nandroid has been providing great restore as necessary (ie, wiped data on cm7 by mistake.......went back to Legendary mtd nandroid + was able to advance restore data in cwm5 recovery....to a T!)...........MTD backups are fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
What the hell is CM7_Wimax???
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I beg to differ... most defenitely would not restore for me... gets through the process and then bootanimation stops halfway through and goes to a black screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
HaHa...you can differ all you want but it works fine on my phone. And I thought it worked fine for you too before you started testing all the converted ROMs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Cm7 = (CyanogenMod7v7.2.0_RCO-epic-wimax) .......it is an AOSP (mtd) based ROM, previously 3G only, went 4g this very morning............chk it out in the development thread.

Only reason I mentioned it was to illustrate how I had been able to use recovery while in cm7_wimax to recover my data (wiped by mistake) from my ONLY mtd nandroid which is a Legendary_RC2.2 backup that I had made after coverting to MTD file system (manually, using methods set forth by tortel1210, edfunkycold, + later a tutorial by the_Legend).

All to say, my Legendary2.2_MTD nandroid backup is reliable + sound, as it should be..........oh, my other prior Legendary nandroid (made specifically to manually convert from ext to MTD) was NOT what I used in the above recovery manueuver.

Oh yeah brudda, welcome to today. CM7 now has WiMax. Yay!

Hey people I need your help. I am trying to write a script, for backuping up, then formatting to mtd, then restoring that backup. This is what I got so far but I know this wont work write because it doesn't rename any files. Now how in the world could I do this??

Here is the zip

http://dev-host.org/huyffp2zpp66/BMLtoMTD.zip

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

Yeah I thought they worked for you. I never got a black screen from a nandroid backup. But it seems that something we both did is causing this annoying ass black screen. I made another MTD legendary zip and it flashed just fine again. But ThunderHawk won't. I think everyone that is on Legendary MTD should flash this zip instead. It has the proper updater-script. Again just a clean install this one works perfectly and seems faster then my last one I converted. I will post it in alittle. But I can't wait for Hoff to finish the real Legendary MTD and I think he is implementing the smooth scroll fix and the lag fix. Hoff man I can test if you need it I am always happy to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Well it seems I got a problem now. I read through the posts and links. On the scrolling mod and lag fix and thought I had it figured out but when I messed with the framework.jar I believe I screwed something up. I wanted to try it first before I had someone else try it because I'm still fairly new to some of this. Needless to say I booted and I got fairly the same result as you did. It went through the boot, went black with capasitive lights on for a few, went out then back on and that was it. I think I have some more to read/learn. Also my backup of the legendary 2.2 zip that you gave me restored fine. Been trying to tell these guys it works and to see if anyone's tried it out but haven't heard if anyone has. Anyways, I give props to these developers that do this cause it is alot harder than I had thought. :) I have a sick 2yr old on my hands tonight though. Maybe I will get to take a look at some things later if she falls asleep. Good luck with that script though.

Here's the problem i'm having with getting everyone on board as testers...

1.) (and only reason) I have to upload every time i make changes... which makes it hard for me especially... because i have to wait for the changes to be tested. Where as i can test them myself for hours on end... and be done when i'm done. Nobody can test if i'm not making changes, right? lol

Just sayin'... i appreciate the offers from everyone, but this has to be handled in house and pretty much perfected on my end, before i goes out for testing...

Sorry all... I'm trying. and i'm actually calling in outside help for this one, as it may start a trend over the installation side of the OG Epic. ;)

Which to me, is beneficial to ALL. =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
ditto edfunkycold....................very same results for me: have used my mtd nandroids several times today already w/ no issues whatsoever..............flashed cm7 (over Legendary, after wipe x 3)....... so from bootup legendary 'data' migrated over to cm7, didn't have to install apps or settings etcetera ............. also, have advance restored data on cm7 using legendary nandroid fr CWM5 recovery (I said 'data', don't think cache or system would be a very good idea LOL!)................yes, grab a good clean nandroid if your mtd rom is running 100% to your satisfaction.:):):)

Yeah you can test it better lol, but take your time, and I am trying to help with this installer, and with all the people that are working on it right now, if we all come together we could get this done fairly quickly. I am using Simple's script in conjunction with finding the version first in build.prop and installing an update if previous version was found. and like you said if not found formatting to either BML or MTD and installing a kernel for a fresh install. This is alot harder then it sounds but I'm trying to learn all this the best I can :)

Hey everyone... I did a search on this issue and because so many people have epic 4g n their signature its tuff to find any results.

The issue i am having is my 4g will not connect.

I am running Samurai 3.3.0 Assassin no9t sure if that matters or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
You should defenitely update your kernel but I doubt that's the issue because I also used the samurai 3.3.0 andd had no problems connecting to 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aloth600:
What would you recommend updating it to?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Link to the latest bml samurai kernel>>>http://dev-host.org/ldc64yfrf1nf/SAMURAI.TW.BML.RONIN5.zip

Pretty sure there has been some changes since 3.3.0 samurai so go in and read around the thread... biggest change is the voodoo color... (don't think that was in 3.3.0 anyways). To set colors get the voodoo control app and set the colors to your liking! Hope this helps with your problems although I don't think the 4g not connecting is because of the kernel... what modem are you on?

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that this is the only ROM (other then maybe Bonsai if they ever upload something new :P) that I will ever use. I have tried about all of them, and this is the one that works best on my phone so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
Agreed. This ROM actually made me like my phone again. Can't wait to see the new release!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:

same here...had a problem with over 160+ character texts with CM7 and WIFI was buggy..decent themes..i came back here when i found the ICS theme..which the theme was the only thing this one lacked (just an opinion***)other than that EVERYTHING WORKS and battery life is great! and voodoo color is great! i got sick of flashing roms every day and am gonna stick with this one for awhile because it just plain gets the job done!

Yeah sorry but I agree completely, other then few extra customization options that cm7 have, its too over rated, but I an trying to find away to incorporate some of the cm7 options in my rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
lol...............word up!

Agree w/ alot of the comments re Legendary, imo it's the perfect convening of numerous complex elements for this device, hands down........as an example, just to name one: was remembering the evolution of necrosan's hotspot hack + the length of time required to get it 'just right' (real native hotspot, fast + dependable, what a concept!), a hallmark feature of Legendary...............the ERA devs really came together from the time the bell rang out w/ the arrival of EI22 in early november and hastened to push out ump'teen releases --in very short order-- leading to RC2.2 ..................... this shows real dedication ........... there's a reason folks like edfunkycold (+ others) stay Legendary (1 foot in the touchwiz world) while exploring + 'testing' other ROMs such as cm7 (other foot inside the AOSP world)..............research + exploration + development, hand in hand, leading to fluid functioning + dependable devices, or at least as end-users: enjoying the results of all that hard work.

................... and what a pleasure living w/ technology that doesn't auto-reboot or go haywire in the middle of the night.............all due to conscientious + intensely intelligent devs w/ fiercely creative intellects!

Thanks again Team Era...............here's to the continuing adventure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I switched back and forth to CM7 3 times this weekend and STILL can't find anything better on it except the theme changer for theme-aholics. Legendary is WAY faster and prettier!
[Epic 4G Android Development] intulsa:
Then was switching to MTD worth the effort? What was gained other than a bit more storage?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Hope you don't mind me answerinf for you kenny... imo converting legendary to mtd was defenitely worth the effort... gained stability and a some speed also... everything is smoother and you won't find any more files in that lost directory in your sd card either... very stable (more so than ext4) so imo it is very worth it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Exactly this. ^^^^^^^^^^^ nice job Flast. The conversion was super easy and now that ROM Manager works on it again, awesome. I may move some apps back to the phone to speed up launcher loading since I gained so much space.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intulsa:
I will probably do it this weekend. Not sure how it could be more more stable though. Other than add Kenny's theme mod it's fine the way it is. Why i was asking. Make the manual switch or just wait for the update? From what i can see a little more space and future compatibility is the only real gain. Im not into trying CM or MIUI.

thanks for the perspective.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Its more stable because on ext4 if your phone reboots sometimes files may become corrupt and end up in the lost.dir in the sd card... this has happened to me many times on ext4... none on mtd... in that respective it is more stable... while I've never had a reboot on this rom ext4 or mtd my own mtd rom is not perfect and I've been getting reboots every now and again and not one time have I gotten corrupted data because of it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Totally agree with you guys. Guess all I can say is try out tw. mtd and you will see the difference for yourself. I was very scetchy at first to switch over from tw. bml but when I did I was so glad I did. Its way better than bml and you can still use your themes and everything. And I keep all of my apps on phone storage and still have almost 500mb of storage left and load time on boot is ten times faster.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Forum Runner
[Epic 4G Android Development] drums4life:
Curious...

Been running the rom for a few days now & I'm really diggin' it. Just doing bml/ext4, but I'm impressed with how smooth & quick it is. And everything so far does what it's supposed to do. Nice job! I usually have a small ton of apps, so I use App 2 SD to bump most of them over & I've had no issues so far. Starting to consider doing the mtd conversion. The concept sounds great.

I'm curious about a couple of the included app choices. Why Voltage Control instead of SetCPU? And why ES File Explorer instead of Astro? No issues with them, I'm just wondering why those? Anyone know?

On another note, what does TW stand for? As in TW.MTD or TW.BML...
[Epic 4G Android Development] saramon:
TW is for Touchwiz... not sure on the other questions though... I would assume ES file explorer because it can explore root files that Astro can't. Pretty sure voltage control so you can enable the higher voltages...
