You can do exactly what you described with Odin. Download the modem put it in the phone slot and flash with your phone in dl mode. Way faster than using the recovery to flash a zip especially if you don't even have a custom recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdagraca:
i sent you a thanks!

so if my kernel is fe21 (aokp b37 is based off of that kernel) should i just odin my fe21 modem? will that work better since it is in coordination with the fe21 kernel from aokp? i am using ff11 kernel... everything seems good but i just want better battery life :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Some people have said they get better results with matching kernels and modems, but I've pretty much always stayed on the latest modem and it's always been good for me.

Well you will still have some issues around cdma based phones vs gsm. This was a pain on the evo 3d when I had it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I suppose we are not getting our final update until the S3 Sprint version is officially out. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if its mid July. At least we have lots of roms to play with over here in Sprint land.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I hate to be this way but I am getting annoyed on how long this is taking.

The only thing that is keeping me happy is the active leaks and development. They started putting ics together at the starting of February. Cyanogen did the same thing for a phone in a month with teenagers working out of their mom's basement. I wonder how much longer this is going to take. The last few builds have been pretty nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M1nze:
yall make me LMAO...

its just a phone...

its just ics....

btw...

FF11 nice, :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
I don't think you're giving the cm team enough credit. I don't think they are kids in basements. I believe they are professional devs who give up what little free time they have to work on a rom for evidently uninformed people like you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I know. Just ranting. The leaks have been fantastic. Some fresh intel from Samsung or Sprint would be great. The truth of matter is we can sit here wonder what is going on. Then BAM, the source could post.tonight and we get an OTA pushed tomorrow. You just never know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Sorry. I think that was too much. I understand
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
Has anyone seen the new Odin? It looks like it works for our devices and the Galaxy S III. The leaks are getting kind of annoying just cuz it takes every 5 builds to see some changes. At least when the next tar leaks we can try this new Odin.

Quit bsing and get a gs3 :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I can't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Think I'm all set with a phone that knows when I'm looking at it.

Not to mention I've about had it with sprints horrible network. Woops, I mentioned it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Even if that isn't enough credit, the fact remains that most of the people who work on cm have jobs and separate lives outside of that while there has been an entire set of people who are paid solely for and who's only job is to develop the official ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickwn88:
I'm sure some of you had the original Epic 4G last year....remember how long it took for us to get gingerbread? That's why it doesn't surprise me that we will more than likely be waiting another month before an official ICS release. Not *****ing, just making a point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I still don't get how there was an official statement saying it would be out Q1... Smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Just an FYI on Calk. Looks like he'll still have his E4GT for a little while longer.

They can also expand and contract the team based on developer interest, not bottom-line budget.

Also most people dont care what software version is on their phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Exactly, most people don't even know what version is on their phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
And those who do know 90% of em don't know the difference.

Anyway the optimized FF02 seems to be about finished so I'm guessing they are timing OTA yo coincide with GS3 they shattered the records already so, not much else to prove.

Source will come soon, until then just enjoy your current ROMs such as Blu Kuban, and be patient. As for me, I'm rockin Blu Kuban from now until something comes along better than Blu Kuban!

3 SHAMELESS plugs for Blu Kuban, oops now including my signature,much like the builds, this makes 5 if you're fast enough to keep up....

Lol that's a joke. Exchange is still loaded with bugs. That is just one group of bugs. Open those eyes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Those aren't bugs. They are features.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Lol yes, what was i thinking! People get so impatient for source. Like our Devs want source that is full of bugs just so they can spend weeks/months fixing bugs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
I just want a stable ics so cm9 can build off the source since stock ics pwns
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jay5583:
I used the nodata update from FF09 to FF11 and my phone overall seems a bit slow. Not sure if this is because of the nodata or if its FF11 in general.. will wait for the next leak to do full wipe.. was feeling too lazy to re setup everything again.

Anyone else notice a lot of screen lockups when doing heavy multi tasking. It's like all of a sudden my device becomes completely unresponsive and I got to the current app in focus to either throw up the wait or close dialogue or turn off my screen and turn it back on. O have only seen this in ics roms and I am running all stock f11
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jay5583:
I think we have similar issues... Hoping the next build is better. I am still getting good battery life though

What advantages are there to use either agats kernel and/or kobridges tweaks?

Agat's kernel and recovery are superior and the recovery has many great features and is "safe" as it can be. With Kobridge's SF tweaks, I'm getting great performance (antutu benchmark of 6550) and good battery life as well.

Wireless and Airave

I'm on FF09 and did a Reset User Data install this go round and still having issues where I don't receive emails or ability to access net. If I disable wireless and re-enable, that usually clears it. Never had any issues on GB.

Having an issue where my google voice vms are not playing in the call log. When you go to play them in the call log the message screen comes up like it is going to play but then it just exits back to call log screen after a few seconds. I'm on Shabby's 6/12 build.

Anyone else see this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
You might be better off asking that on the page for that rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
As KC said try the Alpha 5 thread. Saw this mentioned in IRC, its apparently not an issue with Shabby's build and was actually introduced around Alpha5. I dont use Google Voice as a primary so ive never noticed. Whatever the source of the problem I believe its being looked into by 1 or more people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
Where will we find install instructions and such? Ready to give it a try since I hear good things.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Wouldn't normally post here but given the history of the ICS builds I thought it was good to make an exception.

I have a mailing address for R&D in TX now - was provided by a guy in support so that I can ask them about the eMMC controller firmware. But I'm also suspecting these are the same guys that have been working on our builds and watching these threads.

So before I fire off my question I had two for those following the thread:

1) Anyone working at Sammy willing to confirm this is the same department? If so expect a big thanks in the letter since I can't ship beer. :D

2) Anyone that works in that dept that wants an advance copy please PM me and I'll provide it either in PM response or by email if preferred.

3) Should I include a thanks from the XDA community as well? (I don't know XDA's policy but I doubt that they want just anyone saying something representing XDA.)

And now back to the regularly scheduled program...

Galaxy Nexus. Evo sounds like it is full of problems. Someone posted on here that we should should check the Evo forum for all the problems. I did. There was a thread 15 pages long on if they were returning it or not. There was another thread of people who had exchanged it already.

Anyways, I am staying away from HTC.

I know it is a lateral move hardward wise to the Nexus. I just want to play with it for a bit. I will still be over here though because I will still own one Epic.

On that note, if there is a dev that needs it pm me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
I'll see you in the GNex forums
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
yes its different :) in some ways I originally leaked this odin version hehe :)

Not sure about the lte but coming from the 3d I can surely say stay away!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Until lte is live there is no way I would give up Wimax. sprint 3g is unusable everywhere I go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
I did the same thing. From the epic touch to the nexus. Returned it in thirteen days. I thought, "this thing's got nothing on the epic. Save for the display.". Believe me, I've been tempted to go back to the gnex but I reckon I'll be waiting to check out the next nexus. Also, I couldn't play or use a bunch of apps and games that I bought, on the nexus. Pvz, peggle, bejeweled 2 and more. What's more is that I bought machinarium on the nexus and when I got back to the epic, it's not compatible. #SadFace. That game is awesome.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Nexus is dumbed down hardware. The new one won't be that far ahead of the SGS3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
personally, I'm underwelmed by all the new phones coming out right now. I'm going to hold on to the E4GT until next year. I love the way it runs the ICS leaks so I know it'll run official like a champ. I'll hold off to see what the SGS 4 looks like and if that doesn't do it for me, I'll take a look at HTC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
It's going to plateau at times. I remember when this happened with computers. I remember it taking forever for them to get from like the 486 to the pentium and you kept getting these 33 mhz jumps that didn't really blow you away.

Wow 828 pages... That has to be a record!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Agreed, but it will be ahead and it will have jelly bean. Screw waiting for buggy leaks. Better to have the phone they design jelly bean to run on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Does anyone know if Samsung handles the builds that we are currently are using, or is Sprint the one who takes care of the bugs and such?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bradleyforrest:
Is there a rooted version of the current ICS leaked ROM where the only change is the Sprint apps aren't loaded? I'm happy with stock, I just don't want that bloatware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
You can un install almost all of sprints bloat ware, and yes there is just a rooted version of all the leaks in the development thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
For anything you cant easily remove there is rom toolbox. Even the free version can kill multiple apps at once. I remove all the useless widgets too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
You bring back memories of my first pc...486, 33mhz, 8mb of ram, 256mb hard drive, both sizes of floppy drives, no cd-rom drive, no sound card, ran Windows 3.1 and cost $3,000 in 1991. It was the fastest computer around at the time. I tweaked the hell out of it and installed everything I could, stacked the hard drive beyond belief and made that thing last 5 years before the increase in software size and demands of new programs just made it obsolete. But it took a long time. Hard to believe how much more powerful this phone is compared to that pc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Sprint sure is taking its sweet time with OTA....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Let's hope it's because they are intent on giving us the very best possible OTA, as bug-free as humanly possible. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Where did you get this information from ?! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metayoshi:
As someone who works in firmware development, I'm glad you posted this article. The whole development/testing process described there applies to all kinds of software updates, not just Android. It's a long and painful process (especially when the project manager doesn't know what he's doing), but it's also rewarding when you get that new product out the door.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
This could either mean that Sprint has finished conducting field testing with the final build and it is completely ready for the masses, OR there are too many RDFs being posted to keep track of? Am I partially or fully correct? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thirdcoastraised:
So, if you don't count FF09 and FF11, which are nothing more than FF02 +Sprint tweaks added, that means the 5 builds I mentioned when everyone said "it doesn't work that way", rather than actually read what was said, was not only correct, but SPOT ON! Sprint took their time with everything but in the end it was 5 builds. Personally, I'm just ready for source so the Blu Kuban can continue the climb to top of Mt.Epic!

Wicked Rubix Kubans toy with the Boa. IC n Red as the VeNuMous Senations take over my brain! Now, Rujelus?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
So kc the big question is, hows the new phone? Compared to E4GT of course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tailsthecat3:
Granted I wasn't addressed in this question but the epic touch is a better device, save for the display.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
It's on it's way, FF11 will be the release build....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Well its about time =p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richcracker:
my uncle is a hardware beta tester for Sprint and confirmed that the final build is ready...I have a feeling they are holding it until the release of the GSIII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I don't buy this theory. ICS is not even close to the biggest selling points for gs3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tyknee:
I think that's a matter of opinion. Not that I disagree with you, but I think it's possible that Sprint's marketing department believes it may be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
So, since it looks like the roaming indicator bug will definitely be in the final release, I wonder how long it will take after source to figure out how to fix that bug that they reintroduced right at the very end of testing? Sigh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmejiaa:
It may not be the biggest selling point, but it is a selling point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] richcracker:
I don't think it is either...that's just the feeling I get based on the conversation I had with him. He didn't give me a definite answer, not even sure if he knows for sure. GSIII launches on the 21st...my guess is the OTA starts to roll out on Monday the 25th.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Thatsa my boy, MoHo. You likey oxymorons?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Whoops!

Sorry, posted that on wrong thread!

...And yes, ICS is being used as a selling point - just like they use the latest and greatest Windows version for PCs, Mac OS X for Apples...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Just because ff11 had the bug doesn't mean that ota will have it. They probably left that bug in knowing that its a simple bug to handle I mean these are just leaks do you expact them to give us a perfect leak with everything working lol?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d.jennings:
Here is what I got for battery life. Moderate use including games and music in the car. I am happy with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yellowman82:
Idk I'm just a little tired of people complaining or wondering if some of the bugs that was left in ff11 is going to appear in the ota I mean guys its just LEAKS, wait till ota comes if the bugs are there then complain I mean we don't know what's going on or what's happening so its best to wait for ota and see if the bugs or what not will be there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
If the Bug is in FF11 and FF11 OTA's it will be in there. Unless they have several builds from that day and the one that OTA's was not the leak.

The OTA is going to have several known bugs and some probably not even discovered yet. Deal with it, every phone, every release, nothing new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Logic Analysis:

Programs are designed and coded by an imperfect being (humans), therefore programs are logically imperfect.

In other words, there's always something missed, a loophole, exploit - some good, some bad. It happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
OS updates are usually optional, if gb works better for you than ics, stick with gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
That seemed.... random. But yeah regular non XDA type users get to hit the not right now button twice a day after the OTA :p I was poking at people expecting the OTA to be relatively bug free.

There is no OTA message where I have gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Exactly. I really don't think it's complicated at all.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

I think his comment actually ties into yours. If people are so worried about the bugs that affect them then they have a choice to stay on what works or accept the update and hope a patch comes through at some point to fix what they feel is broken.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
They can always get an IPhone. Seriously though, if you don't like bugs stay away from smart phones. The more features the more that goes wrong. The same applies to everything in life. You by a car with every feature and then you stand a chance to have an electric window break or sunroof leak. You add a high end stereo and an amp can burn up or you blow a sub.

If bugs bother you so much get a flip phone. If your email doesn't work get a stamp. I am not saying deal with it. I am just saying it should be expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
OR... They get chummy (or annoying :D ) with one or more of the great devs we have here and get said bugs "fixed" after the source is released!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Wait that makes no sense lol. Buy a phone that if it has bugs will never recieve a fix.... sounds like a good way to go insane. I say this after having had one with serious issues, lost it got a refurb, it had the same serious issues and more lol.

Especially on sprint no less. "There is an update for this program"... "Sorry that update is not available", never ending story with my last phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReggieTee:
Some here just like to debate/argue for the sake of doing so.
