MD5s help ensure liles aren't tampered with, but the bottom line is not to install anything from untrusted sources.

That said, he's got a point. We all take it on faith that stuff from our big name devs here is clean. Not bribed or coerced into doing anything. Development PCs are secure and uncompromised..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
If someone were to be cooking up shady ROMs, it wouldn't take long before the community knew about it and the creator would be exposed. It's as easy as that. The devs here are mostly established. These ROMs are all tested and used as daily drivers by a lot of people. Some users do have vast knowledge. That's how CIQ was exposed.

I trust the XDA devs more than the ones cooking the official builds for our providers. These devs aren't adding bloatware, either. As a matter of fact, they have taught us how to remove it. I'll stand by the community.

When did this thread become so negative? We've got Korey spouting predictions of the OTA delayed until June and now kingsway chiming in with his Android Apocalypse scenario.

for real

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

I can. This FD02 is running sickie fast and clean. I tried all other ICS builds and had to keep going back to EL29, due to random reboots and other stuff, until this one. I have no issues. The GPS is better than it has ever been and my battery life is almost as good as it is on EL29. Rocking Calkulin's custom ROM's as daily drivers has been working out for some time. I'll update to the next build when it comes but, it's not out of necessity. I might give that cyanogen one a try, too. Hey why not? Nandroid is your friend and Bob's your uncle.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
lol@android apocalypse. I was a bit thrown by that 'prediction'.

I'm always super cautious with any device that houses my personal information (computer, e-reader, phones, etc) but I think the known Devs here have earned the trust of the community. Besides, as buggerritt stated so succinctly, if anyone was up to anything shady they'd be exposed in a heartbeat.

While most of us (me) install and tinker with these custom ROMs to a point, there are a lot more people who poke around on a deeper level and would pick up on the first suspicious bit of activity they came across.

How did you flash it? I flashed using Heimdall and it shows as FD05. If you are using Mobile Odin, you cannot flash modems on our device yet using Mobile Odin.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
man... the negativity

reporting somebody for saying they have fd05 modem and not releasing it publicly? hehe, wow, I didn't know they made selfish idiots out of such ridiculous molds.

and to the guy saying he'd go to iphone because we have to wait for updates? each new (mid or high end) android phone is supported for 18 months. basically good for 2 updates. we get roughly 1 major update a year (just like the iphone) then by the time the update window is done, you're probably already shopping for a new phone anyway.

but have fun on your iphone... apps crash more often, smaller screen, lack of customization. But if that's cool with you, it's cool with me :)

I just think the amount of leaks we've been lucky enough to get has turned people into children. people need to get off their self-entitled pedestals and relax a bit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] themisterwilson:
yup. same here odin'd from the pc. fd05=fd02. ah well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I got 2 thing for you guys. One is wizard is right. This is the first phone i have owned over 6 months in 4 years. So, ICS will come and i dont expect much after that.

The second thing is do you guys honestly think each of these modems is different.....They are the same file size. I just dont see them changing every week. I mean has anyone actually looked at the code and said, "Gee whiz, this modem is different." I think the subtle differences are just in peoples head. I would imagine that is modem might be different than what we saw in the last OTA. But, other than the version number being different the modem has has 21 separate updates.

Actually three things, can we start a mandatory block for anyone who mentions iphone. Seriously, they have employees jumping off buildings. Th ey only care about profits and dont give two licks about the working class in this country. You know when i will jump ship? When we get a union made in the USA phone. I will be gone then. Apple can keep there Chinese communist crap. Seriously, it is made in a communist country. We can even get cigars from Cuba but we import the hell out of junk from China. At least this phone is South Korean and they were our allies in the war.

China trades with N Korea, Iran, and every other country we hate. They make the guns killing American in Iraq and you idiots will sport there phone like it makes you look cool. Well, it makes you look like a ___.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
For the most part, that makes complete sense. I've noticed very little diff in any, with the exception of the release of FC18, which was a drastic change in gps function. But otherwise, most other difference could be attributed to day to day sprint function. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fendulon:
Idk... But when I flashed the FD05 modem it definitely says FD05 for my baseband. I tried to upload a screen shot but I'm getting incorrect file extension. I was on FD02 when I flashed it. I can't be sure that its making any difference, as people mentioned it really could be a placebo effect honestly.

Either way I'm grateful for anything a dev is willing to put out and anything that people are willing to leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
I believe so also but wasn't it FC24 that calk leaked the modem a day before the rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I don't know this for a fact, but with the modems, I've come to the belief that...

They just pair the modem with the build, hence the new modem number (FD02, FD05, and so on). They probably do update it but not every time, which is why on some you might notice a difference, on others you won't.

Second, I imagine that when they have a modem they're comfortable with, they link it with more prls/profiles which causes the increase in performance that people see (assuming it's not a new modem all around).

like I said, I could be way off, but the small bumps and losses I see when flashing different leaked modems makes me think it's just small changes being made, if any, and that they're just matching the modem name to the beta name

I was under the impression that the modem most certainly affected the A-GPS function, at least?

And I would rarely contradict you, of all people (no sarcasm) , but my gps Never worked for **** all, until FC18? And when I had to full restore to a EL29 today, again, my gps didn't work for crap...

If you have actual technical details on what software controls gps function, please share, i'd love to know more, honestly.

Sent from my calculator watch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Ahhh that's true. AGPS would definitely be effected. But I figured you guys were basing it solely off GPS only. My true GPS locks in 15 seconds outdoors, that's with AGPS turned off and I was running EL29
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Right. That's what I was led to believe.

With agps, I get a 'half-lock" in under a sec, and then a true lock in about 3.

With no agps, can take about 10 for true lock.

But with older modems pre FC18, I would be lucky if I got any, of either.

~shrug~

(edit: I'm fully aware of the placebo effect re: modems and data BW, day to day network status/weather/extraneous circumstances, but I swear to you, on my fathers grave, FC18 made a difference. One so notable, I actually love my phone now...)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Washtech:
I have to chime in about the supposed GPS/radio relationship or lack thereof based own my OWN experience. Since EG02 stock, I have NEVER been able to "see" a sattelite let alone lock on to one until I flashed I believe FC18. Since then and up to my most current flash of FD02 I can "see" sattelites immediately, and lock on usually within a few seconds. Only one caveat though. I must have a 3G/4G signal and keep it until I get my lock. Then, I can turn on airplane mode or turn off the radios using the toggles or whatever to kill my signal, but GPS will only continue working for around 5 to 25 minutes, then it simply stops working. Indicator stays on, but zero functionality. Turning airplane mode off again or turning a radio back on allows me to do all of this over again. Its VERY annoying and I agree with ANYONE who says this makes absolutely ZERO sense, but I cannot deny what is right before my eyes. Personally, I don't believe ANYONE including myself truly knows how the hell this POS GPS works. I just hope that it starts working soon, because it is driving me crazy!!! :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Well it's well established agps is directly effected by the modem. Gps is not

Regarding the FD05 modem.

I think someone may have downloaded a file from me that wasn't ready yet. I was playing around with the new modem comparing to the old one and had a cut/paste error when creating the zip. Though the link was in the Auto Root thread, I hadn't announced any modem (in my signature) so I didn't expect anyone to download it, then I got pulled away on a conf call and didn't get back to fix it until now.

My bad for uploading anything that wasn't ready yet.

KC... To your earlier comment that Samsung was done testing and it was in Sprint's hands, does FD05 RDF mean that Samsung is not done testing yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
No, it meant samsung was done exclusively testing. Now Sprint has it because samsung pretty much thought it was done. There are some errors still so Sprint will point the out. Then samsung fixes them. When Sprint is happy with the end product they will get sent a OTA for that build from Samsung. Sprint will test it to make sure it works like it should. If it does they usually push it a week after they get it.

You hear rumors that carriers holding updates. Maybe some do. Sprint doesnt usually. The reason the Nexus S is taking forever is because google wont send the damn thing to Sprint. So, it is actually googles fault.

What is going on with us is no ones fault. The just had a lot of bugs to get rid of and this was a very different OS than GB. They are actively working to get it done and get it done right.

The 20+ leaks shows they are not stalling. It just takes time. Touchwiz doesnt help either. The more stuff they add the more issues you will get.

That is why some tablets with no camera,gps, bluetooth, and modems....get updated so quickly. Even faster if they have a simple UI.
