I admit I've almost grabbed the iPhone a few times because I've had an iPod touch forever that syncs with my car radio, also I know for some people it really is the perfect sort of phone because they just want simple.

But ever since I got my first taste of rooting and flashing custom ROMs on this phone I am no longer satisfied with what Apple would allot me. I demand the ability to customize my phones so thankfully I have an inner voice that tends to scream "PUT THAT DOWN YOU IDIOT!" anytime I happen to pick up an iPhone. :p

Absolutely, people should always back up but make sure you don't try to restore GB system apps on an ICS build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
I can't believe we're still at FF18 and there doesn't seem to be any sign of further leaks or source or the damn OTA. We're the last GS2 phone in the world AFAIK to not have ICS and I'm really not appreciating that we'll be getting 4.0.4 vs. 4.0.3 when I'm still at 2.3.6 fercryingoutloud!

My Transformer got ICS ages ago; I'll have Jellybean on my Nexus 7 in a couple of weeks. With we get our ICS before then? I'm really doubting it. Grumble grumble.

I always planned on getting an android, but I've had an ipod touch for a while that I got as a present. Sure, it was ok when I was younger and hadn't tasted android yet. I rarely use it, except on things like road trips so I don't kill my phone battery, but now it makes me feel sick to use it compared to my rooted, customized, awesome E4GT, and that's even with my ipod jailbroken and completely customized as much as possible.

It seems likely that the build we are going to get is finalized and Sprint is just waiting for a pre determined date to release it.

On a lesser note we only have 443 relies to 10,000

But seriously. This waiting thing sucks. My next phone will be a nexus device. But not a verizon wireless nexus cause those wont be updated like a regular nexus would. I think it was stuck on buggy 4.0.2 for over 6 months without an update.

I found my device to be much more responsive after rooting. I can't ever see going back to just stock. *shudders*

The EL29 is a good, solid GB build. I'd run it a day or two then venture on towards the ICS builds. :good:

I hadn't been online since this morning - i get on and see like 5-6 new pages on this thread. I'm thinking, yes! OTA/Source must be available!

But no, just more random off-topic time-passing. Not that there's anything wrong with that. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Not at all, in fact we could use the help moving us closer to 1000 pages (we've convinced ourselves that, at this point, we'll magically get the OTA or at least source lol), keeping it all on topic, of course. *smiles @ PapaSmurf*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
would you recommend a stock ICS build or a custom ROM like Blu Kuban or AOKP? Although I'm probably going to wait for OTA and source and see what the devs can do with it before I start flashing. Plus I'm not up to the idea of having to Odin to EL29 every time I want to switch ROMs.

You just did. And I don't plan on going back to unrooted either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
It's a known fact that I am super partial to Blu Kuban, but I can tell you that I have also used Venum's Anakonda (was my goto for awhile), Venum Ice, I used the nocturnal venum hybrid ROM, Calkulin's and Agat's builds and there wasn't a bad ROM amongst them. Plus there are new ROMs out that I've yet to try that I know are going to be amazing. I would suggest reading up on each of them, familiarizing yourself with how they are to be installed and what each offers, and then decide what seems to best suit your need.

There's no need to Odin every time you switch ROMs, most people just flash the EL26+cwm file or Calkulin's fomat_All or Rujelus's format_x2. The process really has become quite streamlined you just need to make sure you are following installation instructions to the letter. Also, ask for clarification before taking any step you are unsure of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
I bet the ota comes out by july 15 just to go with this promotion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The ota will come out when ics runs on par or better with gingerbread on our phones. The vast majority of Sprint/Samsung customers have no clue what ics is and will be pissed if their phone gets pushed an update that lowers battery life, decreases smoothness, breaks something like exchange support, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Or it'll get pushed out whenever Sprint is ready to push it out and then patched to fix any remaining bugs like earlier builds.

At this point the 15th is as good a guess as any.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
Not the first or last time Sprint/Samsung or any other manfacturer release an update that does that exactly that. Just look at some of gb updates on sprint a lot them made the phone run worse with major bugs. And everyone gets different battery life. I get the same in FF18 like I did in EL29. With the lack of rdfs I say this is final.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Congrats! That is something I noticed as well. As far as ROMs go, the devs here are geniuses. You really can't go wrong with any of the GB ROMs. For ICS, they are all really good, but I would wait for source if you require perfection. I would check out qbking77's review videos and see what you like. And FOLLOW ESO'S ADVICE! I could not agree with her more!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Welcome to the dark side. I would start with an ics leaked build next then venture on to custom roms touchwiz based next. Flashing back to gb kernel then flashing rom literally takes 2 extra minutes. Lately wicked sensations is my recent favorite, mijjaz roms are nice, venum boa is neat. Blue kuban and blazer have lots of fans but I wasnt really feeling either. I have not tried any team rejects roms yet but they look promising.

Actually I have been on el29 stock rooted the past few weeks due to busy life and travel. Tomorrow I return home and im currently debating what to flash next, probably the latest wicked. If you are going to be a flashaholic you need to have a pc at home, work, and wherever else you spend lots of time with a stock rom ready to flash just in case. The ics leaks are stable but not as much as old faithful el29 when you are away from a pc for a while.

Maybe Sammy will give us an ice cream sandwich for independence day. FG04 sounds great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
The thing is, I'm hardly ever near a computer. I'll consider it if I get a laptop before OTA/source drops. But unless it takes more than a month and a half for that to happen, or if I can do all of that from my phone, I can wait to try out ICS.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
If you're itching for ICS, use Odin One Click and flash FF18. From there, use regular Odin or Mobile Odin to flash Agat's tFF18 custom recovery kernel. But before you do any of that, after you root, get sfhub's Auto Root Package and install EL29 w/ Rogue Recovery CWM, if you have not already done so. You need to make a backup! Keep an EL29 backup handy in case anything goes wrong. Happy flashing, but above all, be safe and do your homework so that you don't make mistakes. If you make a mistake, make sure it's not such a drastic one that you cannot just Odin OC back to EL29 and restore your backup. And above all, remember, you have a community of resources at your disposal. Don't hesitate to PM me, Eso, or anyone else who has been helpful. Most of us are willing to do what we can to help someone out of a jam.

Thanks Tray, and everyone else. If there's anything I've learned from being on the E4GT forums, and even the HTC Hero forums(its still alive with new roms interestingly, I have AOPK 4.0.4 running on my Hero right now), it's that there's always help when you need it.

But I think I'm just going to stick with GB so I don't have to worry so much about hard bricking. I won't have time to do anything on a computer til Thursday after work, so unless I can get Clockwork Mod without having to use Odin, I'll be stock. But until then, I'll be searching these forums for a good GB ROM to flash.

I've also got one question about flashing. When I started flashing ROMs on my old HTC Hero, I was told to always wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache three times when flashing a new ROM, and I've also been told only once was needed for each. Does it really matter how many times I wipe them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
Edit: I don't understand why it posted this as a quote when I pressed edit on the first one. Sorry, wasn't meant to happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
A great GB rom is blazer 4.1 by Phantom hacker go check it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Do what the developers instructions tell you to do. Calkulin makes a great format all tool that I use after wipe instructions just to be safe. Probably an unnecessary step, but it doesn't hurt either.

I say this for information purposes only and would not recommend you do this without the ability to make a backup, but it is perfectly safe to go from GB to ICS. The perma-brick bug lies in flashing from ICS, and that has been worked out for the most part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I don't plan on doing anything flashing-wise until I get a custom recovery. I've read and been told not to use ROM Manager at all, so I won't go there for CWM. Is there any way to get a custom recovery through Mobile Odin?

Use sfhub's autoroot tool to install cwm.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

I think you'll need to get it from mirror 2.

It's pretty simple, or if you're comfortable then flash a repacked kernel from rwilco's thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
We've actually made it super easy to get CWM once your phone is rooted. You can find just about every format on the Repo now. We've got one-clicks, TAR and ZIP of just about every kernel. Pick your way of flashing it and you're good to go. :D

Sorry, another shameless plug but Eso said it was deserved and she's practically a mod! ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yes. You can flash just a kernel from Mobile Odin. Make sure you download the .tar file from rwilco's kernel repo page. Mobile Odin doesn't recognize .zip and you'll have to go through the extra step of extracting first. Seems unnecessary when you have the .tar right there. That will give you recovery. I always try to match the kernel with the build number, but that's not necessary either.

Also I should add that I didn't have to buy it off contract (which probably would've altered my decision), my son had an upgrade so we just had to activate it on his account for 24hrs, then I was able to move it to my account. That's one of the main reasons I decided to take the plunge, it allows me to hang on to my upgrade (next May lol) for whatever goodies come next, or next after that. lol
