It currently doesnt work on any AOSP based rom (CM7, CM9, AOKP, etc.) But that can change in the future, also one can boot a touchwiz based rom from kexec recovery, which was just released. As for gingerbread touchwiz I can guarantee that it works however I am not sure about ICS touchwiz. If I had to guess I would say yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
We are more than adequately supported as are the other gs2 variants, just fitting that the best variant of the device receive the first updates. Its also groundbreaking that for the first time we were included heard and respected rather than shunned and even listed as "threatening to the well being of Android OS" Samsung has always adequately supported all devices and aren't the only carrier with multiple variants on a device...HTC is a prime example.

Again THIS VERSION OF ANDROID on ALL devices no matter the carrier or variations is a completely rewritten system. It takes TIME AND EFFORT to put these things out, especially when the ENTIRE SYSTEM IS CHANGED. Thank the creators/owners of Android for the "unnecessary delay and crappy support" if that's how you truly feel, and that's not Samsung BTW, that would be the OH SO WONDERFUL GOOGLE who's own devices have bugs still after 2 patch updates for nexus s within 7 weeks of receiving ota and galaxy nexus receiving a second set of patches today on some carriers, and those are programmed BY GOOGLE to bring a Google Experience. No thanks, I'll take Samsung any day if for no other reason than THEIR DEDICATION to provide us the BEST POSSIBLE Android experience with a version that's simply a test run essentially for Jellybean

Here here garwynn. Well said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Installed the WDM port, so that was good news... and I can issue an ATZ through CDMAWS. But using the query function in Device Manager as well as trying to set DM mode in CDMAWS didn't work. Stock FE22+root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArgyleDX:
FE22 also has the global audio bug (affects many apps, including Waze and the preinstalled Vlingo) that cuts sounds off early, making voice prompts nearly useless in the affected apps.

If I were managing the release of this software I would not consider the build shippable until it is fixed (although it is not a fatal bug, it is clearly global/OS in scope and thus affects many apps - I wouldn't rely on the individual app developers to have to work around one bug on just this phone, and worse, it affects the software built into the phone which means that potentially everyone will be affected by it, it's not like you'd have to go out of your way to download an affected app to notice).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
A phone that had it not come with ICS would have the EXACT same bug in its firmware. They discovered it during development and the production device received new firmware.

The Galaxy Nexus, The past and future Nexus phones are not exempt from any of these kind of developments. It might have been developed for 4.0 but when 4.1, 5.0 comes out there could be an serious issue. Though the 0x25 eMMC firmware does apparently have a bug still, its already been worked on from what we know.

For Leaks:

I think the best thing is to release to an exclusive amount of people devs and recognized people who are mature enough to handle these leaks with responsibility. I'm starting to believe that regular end user are not ever ready for leaks, too much *****in and complaining about when the next leak is coming and why don't they have it and why their phone is no longer working (brick), As for me I will start looking at members post so next time there is something of this proportion we leak it to the right people.

Just saying'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
I select "AP" mode (+USB debugging) to connect with QPST, then set it back to "CP". That works for both the stock GB and ICS ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The topic is ICS on the E4GT and the efforts that it's taken to get where we are so far. Don't think this is really OT...

If you're looking to point a finger to blame for ICS being held.. heck, I'll take part of that blame because I did say something that may have delayed it. Sorry if that disappoints you - but I'm worried about having a device that works over one that flashes 4.0.x on my "About Phone" screen.

I got into a rant because I don't like seeing people knock on fellow developers or fail to give them the recognition they deserve. And incorporating two full version updates - HC and ICS - in 6 months is something to give them recognition, putting aside the communication with the community. It's one of the big reasons ICS isn't getting out to older devices quickly - PCMag recently counted it and there's less than 2 dozen devices. To even have it coming soon officially - heck, you're in a lucky group at the moment!

While I don't often make assumptions I really wonder if you're aware of the amount of development effort it takes for the things you do in your daily life. Your car? On average 2 million lines of code nowadays in the various components. Your phone? More. How about your appliances, TV and other devices?

I was just as guilty for a long time - and a lot of people are for taking this stuff for granted. But chips and electronics don't work without some fashion of software... and you can thank a dev for that. It's a thankless job for many so when they have earned it we should recognize it!

The last part of the post is a straw man - most REs come from China nowadays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
The things I learned were less about everyday functions and more about the under the skin stuff. I learned different means of flashing, how to back myself out of a potential bricking situation, who to listen to, how to correctly ask a question in order to gain the needed answer and I learned a whole lot of what not to do.

And in the end I learned that my phone is a lot more powerful of a device than what I knew of it coming out of the box and that I still have so much more to learn. lol

I am having issues with FE22.

The launcher force closes from time to time. The capacitive buttons wake very slowly. The screen freezes once in a while. It can get kind of laggy. Sometimes it gets hot and drains the battery rapidly when I am using 3g or 4g. I am not complaining. I quite happy with it. I haven't had a Android phone yet that didn't have glitches. The best phone I have had yet is my Samsung Replenish(best as in solid, not specs). So, here I am with all you....waiting.

I am glad to see you stopping by sextape. Hopefully you came with more than opinions.:p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richcracker:
agreed, point being was that he said that he learned to get a phone that already has the "next gen" software pre-installed...nexus will more than likely always be the first to market with the most updated version of android.

edit: that being said, so far i'm not that impressed with the nexus devices to date, compared to what htc/samsung have been able to cook up.

This could be the real deal, folks. All quiet on the western front with not a leak in sight. The anticipation...it is KILLING me! :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
If i remember correctly, SFHub took one of our tar's and changed a few settings and was able to easily root the GS2 from US Cell. I believe that the most significant change was the exclusion of the wimax chip but the majority of the phone was identical.

I think you might have to look through SFHubs rooting thread for the USCell GS2 for more info though but i'm pretty sure the phones are nearly identical (minus the wimax radio).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
On the USCC question, this is going by memory, but I think swapping kernels mostly worked, but there were wifi issues. Swapping modems didn't work out. I don't know about ROMs.

I could be remembering incorrectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Me too!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I've read about a few people having the capacitive button issue and its never been an issue for me. I had a slow wake in some previous releases but nit was fixed by 22. I suppose the challenge of making various minor hardware revisions perform the same way is coming forward in little things like this.

My only bug is that I always use the pulldown to toggle wifi, bluetooth etc.. and sometimes wifi does not turn on. If I go to system settings and wifi and toggle it from there it works. I have never owned any portable electronic device without a few glitches or a phone that didn't need a regular reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
+a million on this. problem is the people that are flashing it and are not on here complaining all the time and are being responsible and following direction and enjoying the leaks for what they are might miss out because of the few who constantly complain about the same things as if they are a new problem or refuse to wipe all and start clean on a new build and wonder why thy have issues.

i have loved the experience of these leaks and being excited for every new build. it has been a very exciting few months. cant wait for source to drop so we can really get this party started.

Thanks to all who have stuck with us through it all and continued to provide as much info as was available to them and all of the work that went into providing us with the leaks and amazingly easy means of flashing them, you all know who you are!!! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Anyone want to start an OTA pool?

Based on what I've heard my money's still on a Monday announcement followed by source and OTA push no later than mid next week. That makes the deadline that was rumored to be pushed onto Sprint earlier this week. I'll remind again that this is speculation only - but I'm happy to do that while we wait.

Not a conspiracy theorist but the moving back of Unpacked to the 20th also would give them 2 weeks to make sure the OTA goes well... allowing them (Samsung) to potentially tout it as a "victory lap" and put them on really good ground this summer.

I predict interesting times up ahead...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wasscomedy:
I just wanted to say... " F you, F you F you... You're cool... F you!" Thank you too all the devs and Samsung and even though i have to pay Money every month... Thank you Sprint.

On Wednesday my phone was burning my leg while in my pocket. Looked at it and saw it was roaming so i put it in airplane mode and it cooled down. It was the oddest thing, like it was running non stop to get that hot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kdean7:
getting hot

all devices I have get hot when in areas where coverage is an issue. They constantly try to find a signal and thus have the transmitter active for extended periods of time. This has been a consistent occurrence in my area for all devices. Some get hotter than others but it does not seem to be tied to a specific build version. The only thing that may affect when it gets hot could be the setting for when it goes into search mode. I recall seeing a command that allows you to change the minimum signal for searching but do not recall what the command is.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm sorry, I know I'm going back 6 pages, but doesn't Samsung already do this with their testers and dev team? Aren't they the ones who leak this out for the end users? And who will decide who they believe is "worthy" of the leak? I think this idea is elitist and asinine.

The whole point of this community is to make the information and the hard work of the dev here available to all. What they do with it when they have that information is up to them. If they dig themselves into a hole, most of us are nice enough to offer them a hand out. And if you don't get this stuff out to as many people to test as possible, the greater the chances something is overlooked. End users stumble upon things others are avidly searching for.

If putting it in specific peoples hands is what your after, then leave the testing to Samsung/Sprint/Google, because they already have that covered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
The point i'm making is there's a lot of members on here that when it comes to an updated version commence on saying;

wheres the leak?, why isn't it on xda? who has it? can I get it? ooo look its "FExx", is it up??? , its been 1 hour why hasnt it been leaked?

Now at first its funny and **** but when you see it every time there's a new RDF now that's is annoying and hard to ignore; The whole point of of my post is next time I decide to leak anything is that I will choose specific people that I think would be a more appropriate that's all im saying, call it stupid or whatever you want but that's the way I see it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
I remember someone saying earlier the Japan SGSIII 4G LTE model had the Exynos quad-core processor in it. That isn't true at all. It has the S4 as well. No LTE SGSIII has the S4. There is 100% chance that all the USA models that support LTE will have the S4. The only one that might have a slight chance of having the exynos quad-core processor is the T-Mobile variant, or a non-LTE AT&T version, like they did with the SGSII.

Also from what I've heard, all the S4 models will get 2GB of RAM due to multi-tasking issues. Apparently the S4 can't handle multiple applications as well as the quad-core processor can. (DUH! haha)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Just to make sure I understand ...some people get a little over anxious and that causes others in the community to lose the whole spirit of open source and sense of community that sites like XDA were founded on?

It's a community built on sharing ideas information and expertise. When you start becoming selective with what you share and whom you share it with, it destroys that sense of community.

You can always stop reading the posts from those you don't deem worthy of your attention. That's obey way to avoid the questions about when the next leak is out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
He's not talking simply being over anxious, he's talking about people becoming almost demanding and then complaining about every little thing and not in the spirit of actually trying to help the process along but complaining like these were final builds instead of leaks.

I've been guilty of being over anxious so I'm not pointing fingers but there is a fine line between anxious and demanding.

I think what sextape was intimating (correct me if I'm wrong) is that instead of releasing these leaks to the masses here on XDA, having a controlled group of testers instead. And that once a leak turns into a pretty stable build then make it more readily available to all.

And let me be clear, reporting an issue isn't complaining, that is helping the process along. Constantly *****ing about the issue once it's been reported (per leak) is no longer helping the process but simply becomes inane chatter that we'd be better off without.

You cannot expect different behavior. Once you badly spoil a child it is hard to get the genie back in the bottle.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm sorry. I thought we were in a community where everyone had an equal voice, not a hierarchal(sp?) society. Everyone should have a chance to contribute information. The value of that information is determined by the individual reader. What you see as inane chatter or a repeat of a problem may be the first instance someone else sees who is looking for an answer or validation that they are not the only ones experiencing that issue.

Don't get me wrong. I don't like having to read through 5 pages of repeated stuff either, but throwing a temper tantrum and saying you're gonna take your ball and go home does nothing to solve the problem. Every n00b that joins has the potential to be the next sfhub, or sextape, or eso, or kc_exactly, or any number of devs or respected contributors. Are we going to deny them the ability to cultivate their potential because of a few annoyances?
