If you read the file properly formated in Internet Explorer it appears like this:

ExternalMemorySlot Yes

ExternalMemoryMaxSize 32GB SDHC

AudioJack 3.5mm

VideoJack HDMI

DLNACapable No

FrontCameraMegaPixels 5M​

It appears they are saying there is an HDMI jack, not capable of DLNA

Below is the same section in EL30, no mention anywhere of a video jack at all.

ExternalMemorySlot Yes

ExternalMemoryMaxSize 32GB

AudioJack 3.5mm

SupportedApplications

VOIPAnalogJacks 0

AntiVirus No

AntiVirusVendor N/A

AntiSpam No

Of course, there are several errors in these rdfs, so the HDMI mention could also be an error.

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Short sweet version: download superuser.zip and an EL30 kernel(shadow is the best), place it on sdcard, use odin w/ victory pit to flash the cwm5 tar file, but DON'T check auto reboot. Then boot into cwm, and flash the kernel. Then for good measure flash the su.zip. qbking77 has the video.

Or follow this step by step(I follow it still): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwFRzzIqouE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I am Z.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I'm amazing, that's exactly what I was about to do. The latest version CWM I had was noobnl's old 3.1, so I saw you guys have 5.0.2.7, so I d/l that and I think I'm just going to flash CM9 :-P

Does CM9 have a kernel inside?

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I just added, and your siggy is WAY too big
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Yes, CM9 has a kernel. It auto converts you over to the MTD partition map, so be sure to follow this(and pay attention and learn please lol....so many noobs....its getting cold....hello!?)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ds9rwAoI2IQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Then watch the videos in the "CM9 Installation Guide" @ epiccm.blogspot.com

Those should pretty much catch you up to current epic development.

I am Z.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Okay I'll watch and read all that. What are you running currently? I see your sig says Beta0 CM9, but Beta1 is out, and Beta2 is on the horizon
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I am personally on AOKP 28(ish) with nyan kernel (nyan is in the third post there.)

Once you flash a rom, do not Odin/flash another recovery. They are included in our mtd kernels. Just Odin cwm5, and root using zander's method.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Oh, I need to edit my sig. I'm on beta1. All stock CM9 beta1 to be exact. I help test bugs and such, so I can't be on other kernels. I've grown a bit since you left, if you haven't noticed lol ^_^

I am Z.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Haha, I actually knew all about MTD and BML back when I dev'ed for the Epic. I don't understand why the developers here deems this was necessary, as well as another move to a different file system. Yaffis2 file system isn;t widely used for a lot of reasons...and neither is EXT4. Remember me and noobnl going on about EXT4's effects on devices? Causes too much wear to the flash storage. Yaffis2 does this as well, but to another degree, especially when tinkering with the MTD.

I don't know why CM9 deemed this necessary, without TouchWiz, ICS should easily fit with more than enough room for all the files on the BML. Idk...I just don't know if this is good messing with the partitions

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Obviously, you never rooted before. We switched places haha. I went straight stock for the longest time, or both my Epic then the Epic 4G Touch

Yuck, I don't understand why Epic 4G Touch and the Epic 4G both did this either. Why include recoveries in the kernels?? It just doesn't make sense. Too many things can go wrong
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Because they left the regular bml Recovery partition alone iirc to fall back on in the future for a last resort thing. And Odin makes anything fixable lol.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
This is true. Wait, I watched that video and I thought it meant they used MTD to expand BML, not switch to MTD fully. I thought BML was larger anyways?
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
No, our /system is too small for ICS. They stole space from /cache and made the /system large enough, and then made /data larger as well. Apparently, our stock /cache size is too large. To get into a proper discussion on this, irc.irondust.net #epic

Do yall have a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the CM9?

So they are sending us an update but not saying one thing about a vary big problem IMO. its the only real thing I can complane about that roms & kernels don't fix. The music skiping when the phone changes networks or gps & data is downloading maps & stuff. I'm NOT taking about streaming, music from the sdcard with power amp stock music player & every other one I have tried. This is one thing the iphone has on us plus the uter & total crap sound from the dock.

[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Yup - I get that one.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
Every time samsuck & sprint have an update we have to count on the devs around hear to fix things. And they have to wast they time fixing **** that should work out of the box, when they could be spending that time & skils on adding stuff to our phone. Like just for example a moded phone or dialertab APK that enables call recording or something the phone was never intended to have. I got my phone with DI18 & not one of the updates even fixes some thing that I am consernd about.

[Rant] Its BS they never fixed the gps they mess up the camera first with geotaging then the dam sounds. ppl blame the dumb F---ing laws in japan & Korea witch is bs! AFAIK OUR U.S. phones WiMax does not work there it only works in the Ukraine & hear in the U.S.A. So who cares what laws they have. THE PHONE DOES NOT WORK THERE, O & You can't get Korean SoJu in the U.S. does that mean I sound beable to buy SoJu in WI just becuz samsuck exported a phone hear that conforms to Korean law?!? O and hears a big reason why they should not care about Korean law... ready for it... the keyboard I'm typing on is NOT IN KOREAN OR Japanese! Duh. [Rant\]

I just had to rant a little idk why any one can care or get Excited about an update and some stupid thing like the connection manager when theres a huge bug in the phone with the music skiping I feel like its 1996 & I don't have a good discman with ESP! lol!!! that's just how it is driving with your music coming from the phone. But insted of bumps setting it of its RF. The connection manager sounds cool if you have 4G but WHY is that not just an app that can be pushed via market? Idk maybe they changed things inside for it to work.

What's the best way to calibrate the battery in this device?
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Charge the phone to 100%, then reboot the phone while connected to the charger
[Epic 4G General] M1Quinn:
I'm a stock user on el30 who also has the music skipping problem. It's not consistant though. Sometimes it skips and other times it doesn't. It also does it when I have a few things open and I hit the home button so I can jump into another app. The phone has even rebooted itself a couple of times when I do that. Oh Samsung...when will you get it right? The sgs3 could have some of the greatest hardware but will it have firmware that matches it's capabilities?

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
1) charge phone powered ON to 100% until blue LED comes on. Leave it charge another 5~10 minutes

2) then unplug the phone & immediately power down. Now with the phone still OFF plug it back in & charge it until the LED turns blue again & the green battery says 100%

3) boot to cwm advanced/wipe battery stats.

4) Power up your phone & use it until its <10% could be 5% (do NOT CHARGE UNTIL YOUR LOW or u will have to start the whole thing over)

5) when you have run down the battery & your going to recharge it. You have to recharge it all the way up until you get the blue LED. If you unplug your phone for any reason during this first recharge you will have defeated the whole point of this & you will have to start over.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
According to Google, this whole calibration thing is BS.

[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
I assume no one has a direct download link for FC09 yet?
[Epic 4G General] poit:
That won't be fixed by "recalibrating". It's a bug in some of the ROMS. Sounds like you are using CM9?
[Epic 4G General] monstaX:
Just checked for the OTA and no update yet
[Epic 4G General] poit:
I haven't seen any. Also, the post lists a 6 week ! release timeframe, so it sounds like this will take a while.
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
I assumed that as soon as soon as they started rolling out the update it would be on android.clients.google.com and they used so other mechanism to control which phones they pushed the URL to so they could roll it out slowly. Doesn't mean we'd necessarily know the URL right away either though. Thanks for the info.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
No, that is a bug in our phone. Take the battery out, put it back in 3 minutes later and you will be back at 75. All the calibration in the world will not remove that bug. However rebooting while on a charger WILL.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Once someone gets the title of the update file it should be downloadable from the address:

where the string xxxxxxxxxxxxx is a hash code to keep us from guessing the address.

Come up with the full name of the file and it becomes downloadable directly from Google's servers. It can then be used to update the STOCK EL30 ROM using the STOCK recovery.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
BTW, who is this using Korey's account asking all the noob questions? The Korey that left here seemed more knowledgeable and also used search....lol.

it helps the phones readout of the battery. How come every time i tell some one how to do this some one jumps in with this crap that has nothing to do with why your wipe stats:mad:

[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
It doesn't have anything to do with the phone's readout of the battery either. What gave you that idea?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
It's quicker to ask. And it was never a bug before. We always said it was lack of calibration. It's been a problem for as long as I can remember
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah, been a bug for me since Bonsai 4.x. So I never reboot below 75% unless I can plug in for the ride.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Besides, "Reboot" vs "Power Off" is the cause usually. One one hand, your device is properly shutting off. On the other, it essentially restarts itself. Sure it takes 10 seconds more, but the only reboot I ever use is Reboot to Recovery. Otherwise, I power off.

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well, if they bought it release day, August 31, 2010, then they would either be eligible after 22 months, or 20 months depending if the new policy was retroactive (which I believe it was.) This being so, Sprint's upgrade eligibilities start on the 1st of the Month. So if it is 20 months it would be April 1, 2012, or if it is 22 months it would be June 1, 2012.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
June 1st. I got mine on release day.

There seems that the L710 will be the sgs3. That or the sgs2 advanced with lte, or epic 4g lte with keyboard. But of course with sgs2 specs
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'll probably get the GS3 anyways. Most of us probably will, unless they get the "EVO One" or whatever they call it

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yeah, idk if read about me talking about it, but a new source of mine who has been given me a lot of good information told me to pass on the nexus because it's hardware is outdated. It's the past. And he want referring to the cpu either.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
FC09 is a minor maintenance update being pushed to the Epic over the next....5 weeks now I guess. 2 FC09 ROMs can be found in development. One is full stock prerooted the other is debloated and themed.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Aren't you referring to FC09?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I can confirm you do not. FC09 firmware still needs the gps_fix.

Question, anyone...what does the Quickpanel Settings app do? I can't find how to TURN it on, all I can do is change its settings, but it shows up nowhere and it doesn't appear in the widgets list.?????
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
If you're on FC09 deodexed from kennyglass123, that's cause he included stuff for themers and rom makers, so the wouldn't have to search for it. At this point, it won't do anything. You can remove the apk from /system/app if you want

~ E.R.A.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
Then I assume the other extras (Car home, Music, Zeam Launcher, and the nice big Calculator) were not part of the stock FC09? With the exception of Zeam Launcher, and the Quickpanel, I think I'll keep the former.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Yeah, he customized it slightly lol. Or accidentally left those there. Dunno lol.

[Epic 4G General] pixlz:
I wouldn't call fc09 too minor. The connection optimizer works extremely well(its first official release). It makes using wimax speedy and easy. Prioritizes wi-fi over 4g/4g over 3g. For someone with 4g, it makes it usable without constantly toggling switches. But as much as I love this feature, it really shoulda been a day 1 no brain feature.

I'm using that mix & match rom.
[Epic 4G General] travmofosho:
If your running my clean FC09 rom or the crispy Rom then you should notice a difference when you make your selections within quickpanelsettings. It will manage the power widgets in the statusbar. If you are on stock deodexed (kennys) then it will do nothing.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Exactly. And of course it will be fully functional in the upcoming The People's ROM V2.0....cheap plug..lol.
[Epic 4G General] rando991:
