haha You're so silly, I think you need a sammich to help buffer all that beer. :D

I will admit to reading the Twilight books but only because I was the one who got saddled with taking my nieces to see the movies, and I still have one more movie left to go. I haven't read 50 shades and thankfully my nieces aren't likely to read them either :eek: so I should be safe. Besides no book can hold a candle to my imagination. ;)

Uploading from my phone on Sprint 3G speeds. There are 96, so it'll take a few. As soon as they're up, I'll send a PM with a link. They're in .cbr format, so you'll need a .cbr reader.

so.. quick question... im still running gb.. i have tried a few ics builds, but i stopped right around the FE??....ANYWAYS... i love gb but i hate being so behind everyone... i was thinking of running and flashing the stock FF18... how have the results been?? you guys sportin the FF18 or do you all recomend a better build?

thnx in advance homies
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
You bastid I want my thanks back lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Looks like 40 leaks is the magic number... let's get this OTA out of the way and drop the source on me so I can try compiling a pure AOSP rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I highly recommend staying on GB as you will experience a few bugs on FF18. Just wait it out until we get the official OTA update. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwright64:
And what kind of fun is that? I'll tell you what kind...none! Ics can be a little buggy. But nothing that should keep you from trying it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erigion:
I disagree.

Unless someone absolutely needs Vlingo based apps or their company is running Exchange 2010 SP1, then I say there's nothing that should stop anyone from flashing any of the recent FF builds.

Almost all other bugs are cosmetic or come from flashing sfhub's NO DATA requiring a clean flash to fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Not all of them. I mean persobally I rank less battery life than on stock GB. In reality we are still getting out of the BETA stage of our builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
Yeah, I found that out with my Touchpad. I had just added a ROM version # so getting it fixed was no problem. I figured it was only for that device. Anyway, I was wondering. Couldn't you run MD5 checker to find out the MD5 and rename it to that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris-allen:
i dont use vlingo anyways... what i have done is used one of culikans gb builds overclocked to 1.4ghz ondemand... filled myself a sd card with about 200 music videos... got myself a mount in the car. and when im driving with the kids, they watch movies and music vids.. lol

all i realy look for is decent batt life and speeed....

some of the themed versions look totaly bad ass but at cost of performance.. i guess all thats from not haveing the code and whatever...

i am however using modem FF11..lol

you guys keep up the good work, i wish in knew how to program or dev. id totaly help, but im just one of the " fans " who flashes monthly untill his poor wittle fone fwies..lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Another person stated that you can rename it all you want as long as you don't have any spaces. I haven't tested it out, but seems like a reasonable enough solution.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erigion:
Battery life has been about the same with GB for me unless I'm using GPS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Battery life is as dependent on hardware as it is on ROMs. I'm running Blu Kuban (ICS) and get incredible battery life, as good or better than I ever had on GB. Bugs are so minimal it's really a non-issue unless, as mentioned above, you use 2010 exchange or vlingo. I've had no problem on any other voice apps I've tried.

You really just have to try it out for yourself to decide. Just remember to read, read, read everything and ask if you have any questions before taking a step you are unsure of. I sincerely advise that you use one of sfhub's one-clicks to make the safest transition to ICS, from there you can meander through the banquet of custom ROMs available to flash.

Step into the unknown, there are a whole lot of us already here. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
When I renamed it and put a dash along with the ROM version. No spaces. Failed MD5 check. That's all I know. Now I rename but name it back before restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Ya, renaming them without spaces has always worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
::does happy dance::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
So I've been having a couple minor issues here and there on FF18 and think I want to go back to stock rooted EL29. My question is as long as I do a full restore and not no data should I be ok downgrading?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Yes, you shouldn't have any trouble as long as you use the one-click EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I'm da man and I'm a phone addict
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crossen0:
Did you leave a space between EL29 and Recovery? I had the same problem once but I fixed it by leaving no spaces between words unless it was an underscore. See if that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I had problems with the "NO-DATA" version when downgrading, I'm not sure if you would too..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
From ICS back to GB you should not try and use no data, definitely use full restore.

So are we the only ones who are going to get a rollout of 4.0.4 or did I see the other day that someone else is getting it? I just noticed AT&T, like T-Mobile, are getting 4.0.3. Certainly explains the delay, although it doesn't make it easier to tolerate. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
you do know that it is okay to rename your nandroid backups! the only stipulation is you cannot leave any spaces! ! ! like if you're going to name it nandroid backup, don't leave a space name it nandroid/backup. you will not have any problem after that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
We are the only ones with 4.0.4 and an OTA update. :D

Also I'm proud to inform ours is smoother faster and sexyer than the Tmo and ATT version. Compared it to the phones of my friends one Tmo and the other ATT. They are jealous only for the software lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Just that it is taking too long! :'(

Honestly I have provided the info that should be told. What more reference do you want from an actual employee from Sprint HQ? Honestly lighten up because either way we are still getting that ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
Sad that Sprint is always last.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
Except that they were the first carrier to push Froyo to the OG EVO. Good times. I miss them so. Of course, the total pooch job they did with GB led me to getting the E4GT out of sheer frustration.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Just not credible friend, particularly after your FF25 farce.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
Same here. With all the issues I had with the GB update on my OG Evo, I upgraded to the E4GT in March instead of waiting for the S3. I should have just rooted it and installed a custom ROM on it so I could wait, but i was too scared and was afraid I was going to brick it. Still am that way with my E4GT. But once ICS gets released, I will be rooting. And after a month or two, once source drops and ROMs like CM9 and AOKP get most of their major bugs worked out of them, I will start my flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcowboys2184:
That's why i call them the tomorrow network!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Sprint is normally first in CDMA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol pointless waiting if you ask me.. Assuming you have device protection and could get a replacement if you brick, not to mention what would be the difference in rooting/flashing now except one will be from official source and the other from a leak? Either way there are plenty of stable ics roms out there right now and surely youd expect the same chance of. Bricking now and later.. If your scared now youd surely have no reason to feel any different when source drops.. Even the ics cwms have been changed to remove the emmc bug that caused bricks.. Either way i think even when source drops id still be mobile odining to el26 cwm to flash roms because its what im used to now.. Hope this helps you, if not then sucks for you missing out on these awesome roms lol. I know i can get a replacement if i mess mine up so it doesnt scare me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
I had messed around with CM7 but the lack of tap-to-focus on the camera was a dealbreaker. (I'm a photographer.) I had a thread at Android Central running for four months, starting the day I updated to GB in June 2011, pounding my head against the wall trying to sort WTFF was going on. Finally, in October (coincidentally the day Steve Jobs had his final kernel panic), I went and dropped the five bills on the E4GT and haven't had a regret since. I'm not even particularly interesting in the GS3 or some of the other phones around because this is quite nice and the camera is terrific. My contract is up with Sprint and since they never officially lit up WiMax here and LTE is likely a decade away, I'm not in a rush to jump into another two-year commitment without a clear idea where Sprint is going. If Verizon wasn't so darn $$$$$$$$$$$, I'd consider them.

Even my girlfriend, who's even more frugal than I am, prodded me to get it because she could tell I was climbing the walls trying to fix it. She asked how much it was and said, "You just spent that much on photo gear and you'll use that rarely. You use your phone 50 times a day, so just get it if it will solve your problems." I have a cool g/f. Then again, whenever I buy myself some $500 gizmo, I suddenly get emails from her with links to some $20 thing that she wants and what am I supposed to say, that I'm broke?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Not true at all. Sprint og evo got gingerbread first I believe.

It burns when I Tapatalk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
You make it sound like that is a bad thing. We just let everyone test things first to make sure it is safe. Every time Sprint goes first we get things like Nextel, the Kyocera Echo, and wimax. This new strategy could be a good thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
Well the way I think about it with ICS at the moment is that I couldnt see myself odining to EL29 every time I would want to switch ROMs. Mainly because im hardly ever near a computer and i dont own a laptop(yet). Ive been messing around with ROMs on an old HTC Hero, but i know that things are different with the E4GT due to the need to use Odin (or can you switch between gingerbread based ROMs safely using only Clockwork Mod?). If i can safely switch between GB based ROMs now and do the same with ICS based ROMs once source drops, then I might just start now. But at the moment, if I did hard brick, I wouldn't have the money to replace the phone through TEP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Yes, you can switch safely between GB roms; with ICS, you have to be more cautious. According to more informed opinion than mine, Agat63's kernels and roms have a built-in Gingerbread binary that doesn't call the dreaded EMMC_CAP_ERASE command (the superbricker).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
Yeah, cause agat is the man! Thanks agat for being awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dhyneland:
I just flashed my buddies phone back to sfhubs stock EL29 because he is getting ready to sell it. About 30 minutes after that he got FF18 OTA. I didn't realize this had been officially released yet. Has anyone else gotten this OTA? Not trying to troll, I haven't spent much time following this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Were you there to see it or is this what he told you?

If this is true it's great news but I'm skeptical. ::fingers crossed::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
This is kind of related to what I've been seeing. I've been getting FCs on "System Update." I was crediting this to maybe having something frozen that I shouldn't, so I defrosted everything. The problem persisted. I started crediting it to using task manager to free up memory, which could still very well be the case, but that would mean that System Update would have to be active and sitting idle. Maybe preparing to receive? I dunno.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] &roid:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
lol@defrosted

Is the replacement phone new or refurbished?

I'm unwilling to believe it could be the update (reverse psychology), too many false alarms have made me jaded. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dhyneland:
No, I didn't see the update notification or the install.

We work together and I was walking by his cube, he told me he just got an update. So I checked his device info and sure enough 4.0.4 FF18. I could be wrong but I dont think he installed it himself because when he originally asked me to flash it back to stock I sent him the link to QBKings youtube video showing how. He was like "I dont have the drivers and the firewall is blocking oden download"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
New, and yes, defrost.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Awesome lol I have TB but only ever tried using it once and made a tremendous mess of things, so now it sits forlorn and neglected like ROM Manager and a few other paid apps awaiting the day I decide it's safe to resurrect them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Well, nothing on Sprint's site and no source yet... and with the Optimus S they gave several days notice before they activated the OTA. Somehow I expect the same - a notice with several days lead time before OTA.

On a similarly related note a friend's iPhone got a notification for NV rollout coming soon to Chi-town. (Official email from Sprint - he showed to me because he didn't know what it was talking about...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I received that VVM update notice again but nothing else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
It's actually quite useful if you are the type to switch back and forth between ROMs and builds and have to do full wipes. It quickly reinstalls apps and if you're not switching between builds, system apps and data (though I would rarely recommend that). It beats re-downloading and re-installing it all from the play store, that's for sure!

And further response to the previous post, I'm not saying that it is the update. Just saying I'm getting FCs on System Update. What that REALLY means or indicates is above my pay grade, LOL!

And on a completely separate note, are you enjoying your Walking Dead graphic novels yet?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
FYI - getting force closes on system update isn't a signal of impending updates. There are many less exciting scenarios in which that can happen.

For example, if I use Titanium Backup and freeze system updates, clicking settings --> about phone --> system updates will produce a force close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Shut them down Gman lol kidding :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yes, freezing any app and then trying to use that app would cause a force close. I'm pretty sure that's a given, Captain Obvious. The force close means it's running in the background. It running in the background could mean it's sitting idle in preparation. Not saying it IS, saying it's a POSSIBILITY.

Why would anyone freeze System Update to begin with?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
Well if they really close this thread, its been real folks. Ups and downs, its been nice to get new entertainment daily! OTA is coming, I believe Sprint is simply trying to ensure full attention can be given to E4GT users when it begins.

TrayLunch...watching you go from a basic noob to absorbing and now passing along info to others brings a smile to my face, differences aside, you're a stand up cat! I never intentionally passed bad info trying to steer anyone astray or raise post or thanks count. I was merely trying to help the community and taking advantage of the fact that Sammy WAS working with XDA and other communities, to not have to be so stealth about giving info.

BTW I'm currently in the great city of Houston, running strictly 4G with no further reboots or LOS, thanks to Rujelus22 and TeAm VeNuM figuring out the fix for us! Blu Kuban 1.0.4.0 still the best ROM for ICS around, and the FF18 update is coming soon, unless of course Sprint comes up with a FF26 or something else. Tray, PM me for info and lets grab a beer while I'm here
