What's the chance you can do a ROM that has the option of either? Maybe with a seperate zip one could flash via CWM? I prefer the TW lockscreen myself.

Clockwork Mod told me to update to Clean GB 1.1.1 so I did. I wiped everything and restored from TB. I am currently sitting in the "dead zone" in my house where I ususally lose wifi and my wifi is 55dbm! Oieeee!!! Internet browsing is smooth and fast -- unlike CM9. Of course, the phone works -- unlike CM7 or 9. My tail is wagging ;-).

Clean GB 1.1.1. My phone works, does yours?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nastypup:
So I now have an EL30 modem? It still says EI22 so I'm confused.

Clean GB 1.1.1. My phone works, does yours?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
It doesn't update the modem.... only way to do that is to flash the ei22 to el30 delta flashable... samsung has not released the tar for the modem so it can't be backed into the roms...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Milkman00:
Haven't I read that the EL30 modem is not good anyway???
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
The new modem is so much better! ! My speed test are much higher signal is more reliable and is just better!

I believe it's more a case of YMMV because EL30 modem is working great for me :p

[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Works great for me. Much better than EI22.

Epic 4Gs are like cabbage patch dolls. No two are alike. That's the way it is with all smart phones today. So you'll rarely have exactly the same experience as someone else with this or that modem or ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] h8it:
Ya seems good and bad results with EL30 modem.

Using the speedtest.net app, EI22 I would get 500 to 700KBS

Same app same place EL30 modem I get 1.5 to 1.9MBS

So it has helped me greatly!

Hope your results are the same but I have heard all kinds of things!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Milkman00:
I already upgraded to the newest Clean-GB, So if I wanted to flash EL30 modem, I would need to:

Odin back to EI22

Flash a stock EL30 which includes the modem

Then flash to the newest CleanGB?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
There is no el30 modem that u can directly flash or odin. Look for qbking77 videos. You will odin the ec05 then apply 2 incremental updates to get it to el30, then do the cleangb flash. Pita but its all we got now.

This ip. I'm running this rom since its what I was almost looking for.

OP, can you do me a very big favor. Can you make a CleanGB version that's put stock?. So its just a pure untouched stock that mtd. Yup.... I'm one of those stock loving aholes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Kennyglass123 has a thread that includes a flashable EI22->EL30 zip, but you have to first flash the CWM 5.0.2.7 SD only recovery to "fool" the phone to thinking its on BML. You also have to have a kernel that supports....what's the word? Kexec? Don't flame me, I'm writing this on a checkout line at Winn Dixie and don't have time to research.

Toad, the rom is flawless. Try it with Travis' EL30 Minimalistic Black for added goodness.

I hate these "self checkouts", they never take my coupons...

Trying to restore data?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bg4:
YES - did the changing file names although there was a image.rfs file that I am not sure what to do with. Also should the two files be renamed to ---.yaffs2 or yaff2.tar?

but yes getting the md5 mismatch on restoring data - advanced obviously
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Hey there Toad.... (or other expert) can/does this rom work with the samurai MTD rom? Would like voodoo control for screen...
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
+1 would like to hear this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnbarry3434:
My backup files were:

data.img

system.img

I changed them to:

data.yaffs2.img

system.yaffs2.img

I also changed them in the nandroid.md5 file and left the other files in the folder alone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bg4:
==========

RESOLVED = although I have no idea what I did to fix it.

nelieve its called following instructions.

programs restored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cruizerfish:
Thank you for making this ROM toadlife. My phone is functional once again! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnbarry3434:
My cwm backup had .img extensions, maybe a different version of cwm makes .tar extensions for backups, either way if you are restoring data you need to change data.<extension> to data.yaffs2.<extension> and change the same in the nandroid.md5 file. Then in cwm advanced data restore should work just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bg4:
heres what I did - after many many many failed attempts

made copy of backup - kind of a backup backup

changed all three files in the md5 from rfs to yaffs2 - cache - system and data

renamed the same three files in backup folder to yaffs2 ie data.yaffs2

made sure the f's and 2's and the s's were all in right places - might be the most important

orig instructions said to only change system and data - leaving out image - this likely should be corrected.

I'm leaning towards it being better. It's quite nice when it comes to speed, smooth running, not one issue since install. Tho a few of us have had issues with the BML nandroid backup, I simply used TB and got my Epic back to where it was before I made the jump to MTD. I am never going back to BML...NEVER!!! Jump on in guys! The water is great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
The Samurai kernel should work fine, but as of last night GPS is still broken in it. I posted the fix in his thread so if he hasn't already he'll probably get that resolved soon.

Forgive my noobness , will we be able to switch between this and CM7 WITHOUT having to Odin ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Heffboom.Konijn:
I did not think this rom could get any better or faster. Well done, and thank you.

However, the gps is still wonky. Even with the 1.02 kernal I had to use gps aids,and gps for it even to work...sorta

Other than that. Wow and again THANK YOU :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Yes. In fact, I've already gone back and forth a few times myself. You will need to clear data before going between a TW and CM ROM though as they use completely different stock apps and you will get tons of FCs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
GPS has worked absolutely perfectly for me, and the GPS drivers have not changed a bit between the BML and MTD version, so I think whatever issues you are having may be coincidental.
[Epic 4G Android Development] balagyi:
hey toad,

will this mtd rom be on rom manager?

Hey, is there anyway to turn off the power off / turn off screen animation?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Excuse the ignorance, BUT, I understand that CWM is for Clock Work Mod. What is CM stand for? I see people referring to it and I am just trying to get a better understanding of what it is. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
CM stands for CyanogenMod
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Thanks, looks like I to read up on that!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Does the MTD version use a different type of Market? I am going to have to go back to the BML version because I have to use Roam Control to be able to get any type of signal when I am home. And it doesn't come up as an app in the market on this version....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bg4:
I do not know about market but believe its the same. On the general section there is a thread that roam control is off the market again.

Just do a nandroid backup and restore data after re-flashing. (and doing the whole rfs to yaffs2 change)

My roam control carried over as did all programs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toweringflesh:
I just moved from RFS CleanGB to CM7/MIUI and now CleanGB on the MTD. Well, I was setting up my old shortcuts when I noticed Task Manager was missing. I long-pressed Home and tried to open it...insta-freeze and forced reboot.

Once it loaded back up, it's non-stop FCs, I can't do anything really and I almost have to pull the battery to get it to turn back off they're so persistent.

So...any place to get the Task Manager APK/simple fix for the FCs? I'm going to reinstall and play around so I'll probably get it taken care of but if I don't...I'll be checking back in a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Ok, so if I understand this correctly, CM is a MOD, not a ROM? If so, do I flash the Clean MTD ROM first, then the CM MOD or reverse? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
CM is a rom in the way you're thinking. You flash one or the other. I think some people don't call CM a rom because its not at all based on the stock epic 4g software, whereas cleangb is a modified version of what comes installed on your phone. But either way doesn't matter, you run cleangb OR cyanogenmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
I think now I get it, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
Yup, after I Odin'ed back could not find it in the market....I don't really check any other section except this one....and on top of that, I don't do backups basically because there isn't anything that I can't start from scratch on and I only load about 5 or 6 apps.....unfortuneatly this is one of those times that I guess I should have if it is no longer available....

I guess I will jump to the MTD again....lol...
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Real nice job on	MTD toad. I was scared to death to jump, but there was nothing to be afraid of. It's a little laggy here and there in comparison to BML CleanGB, but overall very nice.

Andriod Market

Thanks for all the hard work.

I flashed this then found that the Market could not download anything, reported unknown error. Is there anything special about using the market on this? Or maybe I just got a bad download.

Has anyone else had market issues?

BTW: I had just reflashed back to bone stock EB13, rooted, then flashed......

I had to restore my backup so I would have a working phone for work, will try again in the morning.

New build posted

CleanGB-MTD 1.0.3

Fixed broken bootanimation.zip support

Kernel now checks for and installs root and busybox at bootup

Reboot to recovery from shell now works (Because of this, ROM Manager support is now possible)

Market - check (access and download/install)

GPS - check (and stable - 8 satellites locked from indoors)

Camera and Video record/playback - check (no issues)

Power Menu Reboot Dialogue - check

Rom Manager - check (shows current rom 1.0.3)

CWM Recovery In Power Menu - fail (still not installed/supported?)

Airplane Mode Issue?

Don't know if it's happened to anyone else, I'm having issues connecting to a regular 3g Data. It keeps scanning. I noticed when I held the power button, the Airplane Mode rapidly toggles on and off repeatedly by itself.

Used ROM Manager+cwm 5.0.2.7 to install.

Any fix? Wifi works no problem.

Sometimes I've noticed you still need to go into system folder find gpsd somewher (forgot where) and change the permissions, the init doesn't always work for somereason, this should fix gps permanently though...

Once on mtd you can not boot into recovery from the rom or rom manager. The only way to get into recovery is to do the 3 finger method.

Anyone have issues applying the 3 addons zips via CWM (TW launcher, log fix, TW widget) in OP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
I don't use TW, but no issues applying the Log Provider mod.

Kinda wanky getting into CWM from power on, but everything still working fine. CWM acts like it is rebooting again after I release the buttons, but then it boots directly into CWM after the Samsung splash screen, and installing zips works exactly as with previous roms from that point onward.

Edit note: Tried to do a "Backup Current Rom" from within Rom Manager - locked up my phone on download menu. Luckily a battery pull allowed me to reboot and everything is fine again.

Be VERY careful using Rom Manager! I consider myself lucky that I didn't have a brick!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
If your on mtd in order to flash zips you need to go in recovery first mount system, then flash the zip, then unmount system, then reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Thank You Kindly for the update Mr Toadlife :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
I'm having reboots when I answer a call while tethering, both hacked hotspot and wifi tether. Anyone else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Thanks for the feedback all...

To address the various issues that have been brought up:

bootanimation.zip support does work. I just copied one into `/system/media`, rebooted and it played. Perhaps the particular animation being tried was broken?

As noted in the OP and FAQ, reboot to recovery from the power menu does not work on any MTD ROM. This is also a bug with Cyanogen Mod. The CM guys have it on their list of bugs to fix. For the time being you can use ROM Manager, or script manager with a shell script (`reboot recovery` is the command you will need) to boot into recovery.

The add-ons in the first post were broken last night with MTD ROMs. With MTD ROMs add-on packages need to be built a little differently to work. I fixed the packages last night and re-uploaded them. They *should* work now.

This ROM is now in ROM Manager, but the addons are not in there. The reason for this is that ROM Managers sometimes fails when you chain zip files together. I don't know if this is a problem with the way I'm making the packages or a problem with ROM Manager.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Your sig says you are running the BML version and Shadow Kernel. Is that correct or are you on the MTD version with my kernel? Also, can you reproduce the reboot reliably..or at least semi-reliably?

I just wirelessly tethered to my phone with the hacked hotspot, started a download and called my phone and everything was fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
Old signature... I'm using Clean GB MTD 1.0.2 with your kernel. And the reliably/semi its happen to me twice, but both times the phone was connected to the charger. So can be that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toadlife:
Try a different charger. Your cable may be flaky. Are you using the stock cable?

I just tried it connected to the wall charger, and had no issues but I don't use the stock cable any more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] csmasn:
I'm using a mi-fi cable. Tried again a now everyting is working. Well let's try with a pc connected.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bg4:
the animation I tried was the exact file I used in GB-1 -- does MTD need different format?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stackz!:
Can you pleaseee consider making the CRT On a flashable addon? I know this has asked/ignored already but I am still using Build 16 (BML) as this was the last version without it baked it. Regardless of whether or not it impacts performance... CRT Off seems to be favored by everyone whereas there is a significant amount of people who dislike the CRT On animation so it would only make sense to do this.

If you did do this I would immediately make the jump to MTD/Newest CleanGB the same day. (In before someone tells me I can do it myself by replacing services.jar)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannyzen:
I agree. Choice is key here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 521:
Ys, choice is the key.....

You can "choose" to run this rom the way the Dev created it, or you can "choose" to run a different rom if you don't like it. You are right, that choice is yours to make.

It's also the Dev's "choice" on how he builds his rom, and his "choice" if he wishes to share it with us or keep it to himself.

I personally "choose" to accept his rom as he "chooses" to make it. While I may "ask" him to consider changes, it's still his "choice" if he makes them or not.

Thanks Toadlife, for all your hard work, and for sharing and allowing us the choice to run your rom.

You are appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BillyBob3:
Check post 1 for the credit for crton. Click it and learn how its done so you can remove it yourself. As you said, you have asked now in 2 threads. Toad's CHOICE is obviously to leave it in.
