You can safely flash just about anything but another rom (see bottom of post about kernels). You can also make backups and restore those backups of this rom.

You cannot wipe, or flash another rom, or restore a different rom from ICS recovery without first using the stock EL26 recovery.

As a general rule, if you are running ICS and want to flash ANY other rom or restore from backup any OTHER rom, then use the EL26 recovery, then Calk's format all.

I'm a little out of touch on flashing a different kernel. You shouldn't need to anyway. I'd say leave the kernel the way it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I think there's a standard ics theme in the first couple pages of this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Sorry, maybe I didn't post anything here for that.

Here is the one I did for myself. Everyone is welcome to them.

Green Goblin Signal Bar

White Clock (instead of grey)

Big Battery

Custom Lockscreen Wallpaper (not shown)

Stock flashable is included so you can go back.

Edit: You have to disable stock battery % in Settings --> Display.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Awesome thanks. By chance, can this be flashed along side with the transparent status bar zip or is that not a good idea?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
That will replace one of these files so probably not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I can't remember now, maybe if you flash it after this one. I think it may only affect the clock. Can't hurt to try. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Yeah you're right, loo. The transparency cancels the other mods. That's ok. Transparency is really sweet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bosoxdanc:
I have BetterBatteryStats installed, but I have no clue how to really understand it, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
Try using badass battery monitor or it looks like it's GSam Battery Monitor now? Either way it's really simple and straight forward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Does anyone have strong opinions on which tweaks work better? Kobridge or Caulk's built in tweaks?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Kobridge for me. Plus, they're more versatile with the different speed/battery savings levels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ih8crackerbarrel:
Thanks tdunham! Hot spot hack fixed my 4G restarts. The biggest complaint I had about Calks ICS Rom is now gone. Delightful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
Now that everything works great I hope Calk can move to SGSIII
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MDK666:
How did you get the fix because my 4g restarts all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ih8crackerbarrel:
Check back a few pages. tdunham posted a hot spot fix file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polo5569:
I'm pretty new to this. i was running an older version of this rom and all was well. I updated to the new one 1.6 and it works great but battery life is horrible. i switched modems to see if that helped but I noticed something else. usually when I turn off my background services I wont get notifications from apps and wont be able to get on the market without turning it back on. Well with this I am always getting notifications. Thats gotta be the reason for the drain on my battery. I also noticed that when i have my phone plugged in and i'm below 50% The led wont turn blue when i get a text. Can someone please help me with these issues. thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmlzootown:
Is there any way to add/edit the toggles in the Notification bar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
What was the old version you were on? You may want to try using Calk's Format All zip and then reflash version 1.6. Also do a fresh install of your apps from the Play Store instead of doing any kind of restoring them from a backup. The phone light not turning blue while plugged in isn't really a bug, unfortunately that's how it is for the moment. Hopefully Calk can get that working again now that source has been released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polo5569:
I did a fresh install and used the format zip file. I was on his e4gt ginger bread. My main concern is the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
How long ago did you flash the 1.6? It usually does take 2 or 3 days for it to settle down and for you start to see better battery life. If you really want to nail down what's causing the battery to drain fast use the app BetterBatteryStats from the Play Store. Have you tried using Kobridge's tweaks?

Make sure to use the on designed for Calk's ROM. And read the whole thread on how to do it before you try to flash any of his tweaks.

Is this an AOSP ROM? I've been using it for a while and there are some threads floating around with instructions to port Google Now to ICS but it only works for AOSP ROMs. Can anyone shed a little light on this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quasarsky:
it doesn't work for me. what am i doing wrong? i have agats recovery and ff18 kernal on top of caulks 1.6 rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Sorry, this is a Touchwiz stock ICS based rom.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

This should work with the FF18 kernel. Did you flash the extended power menu in recovery?

Edit: Sorry, I just realized that the extended power menu I posted here is for FE22 Kernel that comes with this build. Let me find you the link for the FF18 Kernel mod that I posted.

Here is my links page for all the mods I've done for Blazer which is FF18 based rom:

I installed it on Monday. I am trying the kobridge tweaks now. we'll see how it goes. any idea why i don't have to have background services on anymore to get to the play store. this also affects apps to keep receiving notifications. thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ih8crackerbarrel:
So now that Sprint is putting out ICS for the E4GT will Calk update this rom with all the official goodness?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bullet2300:
Really hoping so. His ROM is my favorite!! My fingers are crossed...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oregondave:
I'd really like to access recovery from the power button with this ROM. How to do?

Haha never mind....read back a few pages and there you go! Thanks Tdunham.

For some reason no matter what I try the blue kuban ROM results in GPS that doesn't work....so back to calkulin. Now that 4g crash issue is resolved this is the ROM of choice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
PlzO PlzO PlzO update Calk. This and your GB are my goto roms.

TIA U R da Man..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] modmandan:
I'm sure he will, my guess is that is what he was waiting for. I'm only hoping he releases it with the emmc bug squashed!

I gotta say I have tried many rooms and ALWAYS come back to this one. I don't even bother with the others anymore!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
Hahaha I tried many rooms. lol don't feel bad man I'm just messing with you. I do agree with you. I tried almost every rom just so I can tell the difference to people and nothing out there comes close to this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jus1haz2:
woot

So glad full source is finally released. FF18 from calk will be solid, like his past kernel packs. I upgraded to stock FF18 ICS to check it out, not entirely sure what I was thinking. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Patience young padawans.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
I'm trying to ave patience!!!!! Aaaaaa!!!! lol

Guys I need your help. Can you please help me out on my decision.

Which phone should I go with until the next generation of nexus phones come out later on this year?

Galaxy Nexus for Sprint, EVO 4G LTE or SGSIII?

I am only going to keep it for a few months until the new Nexus comes out. The reason I want to go to Nexus phones is because I am going to be done rooting phones I think. Too many issues with rooted phones. I am done..... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
I am not sure if anyone else has seen this. My phone is constantly searching for GPS since I updated to this ICS version. I am digging to see if it an app, but I am not sure. The green GPS icon is always in the corner, with the notification that it is searching for my location.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Definitely not the HTC. I just can't ever bring myself to ever buy or recommend HTC ever again. I've had dam near all of them and they all suffer from inferior build quality. And die at the drop of a hat. And take your SD to the grave with itself..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] modmandan:
LMAO.... Damn spell check
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
Any word on the new ICS camera app? I noticed that was not in this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
B4 you flashed,did you lock on gps leave it locked. Then flashed this rom. If not nandroid is your friend. No backup you f'd up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
Quick question RE install

Hey guys, been loving Calks Gingerbread ROM for so long, I never updated to ICS. I just wanted to ask, if I'm on Calk's EL29, do I simply format all and flash 1.6? Can wait for the source code version!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GK_usa:
Youtube "Calkulin ICS Rom" All your questions will be answered.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
Since I flash inside my house, I would assume the GPS was not locked on to my location. If you meant "is GPS enabled/turned on?", I am unsure. I just had to use odin to flash another rom. I normally use titanium backup as opposed to nandroid. Although I am starting to re-think that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
Thanks but I had watched the two videos. It seems like all I really need to do is flash in CMW if I'm already on Calk's Gingerbread 3.0 ROM. QBKing's video mentioned being on EL26 and since I'm on 29 I was wondering if that would be a problem.

If calkulin isn't on the e4gt anymore, anyone know of a comparable ff18 based rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
Wow, I can't believe people are still running this ROM. Calk is a fantastic developer, and I ran his GB ROM exclusively. But news of him changing devices is really old. This ROM hasn't been supported since May 26 (last edit of OP). OTA and source have been released for TW ROMs. AOSP ROMs have source kernel. Instead of asking "what ROM should I use?," read some OPs, pick one, and flash it. If that's too much work for you, then you really shouldn't be flashing at all.

Give calk a break, kernel source just leaked. He might be cooking something up for all of us,

For the meantime why dont u try a cm9 nightly, Aokp or a blu cuban. I am loving the scrolling speed of cm9, i really hate touchwiz turbo scroll.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xb0n3z:
I hate the Turbo Scroll as well.. I'm running Kuban right now and like it, but finding things here and there being a problem.. I'll take a look at the CM9 builds..

Thanks for the Tip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 11secEVO:
If you are done with this ROM can you please let me know which phone are you going to start working on. I think that I am done with the entire phone thing also. I am getting the Galaxy Nexus and will be getting the next Nexus phone that comes out later on this year for sure. I am done for good with the OEM's take on Android. I understand that the developers on here are trying to give us the best experience but there are way to many things that never work and I am really tiered of having phones that don't work. It's been nice everyone :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArchangelRenzoku:
Calkulin, great job with this ROM bro. Been using it for 4 days so far and not a single problem. Everything works flawlessly.

Before that, I was on your EL29. That was perfect too. And I thought stock was good til I tried that. I am really loving the silent camera feature the most. Need to take pics for work and when you're in a retail store taking pictures behind some random person, it would be unsettling to hear all those camera beeps and shuttering.

I came from the Photon last month and let me tell you, phenomenal difference between that piece of crap (I thought it was great when I first got it) and this phone. In combination with your ROMs and we have something beautiful going on here. Thank you for your continued development.

May the Final Fantasy goddess, Altana, pave your way to exceeding your current technological greatness.

Hello:

Been a while since I loaded Calkulin's ROM on my Epic 4G Touch. I installed this ROM about 6 months ago and never looked back.

Build Number: Calkulins.E4GT.ROM.v2.9.2

Now that, ICS based ROMs are available, what is the procedure to install Cal's ICS based ROM?

Do I use the ICS ROM with the Recovery on my phone?

Sorry, been a while since I tweaked this phone.

Your help is appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdmegkoupe:
quick question

Will this rom work with the FF18 radio update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yeah bro just download the zip to SD, WIPE EVERYTHING in CWM (I personally make a backup first just in case) and flash the ROM. Worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] juggalo1300:
:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eozdalga:
Is this really safe. I keep hearing people mention to be on DL26 CWM before flashing new ROMs. I'm also on Calk's GB 3.0 and thinking of making the jump to ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ijoshv2:
I wouldn't recommend taking advice from a juggalo, everyone.. that's like accepting housing advice from a homeless person on drugs.

LOL, I made a funny.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArchangelRenzoku:
I was on that same ROM as you are now. It was seamless. Just make sure you wipe and are using the latest CWM (non-touch versions)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goitsme48:
Which version of latest CWM do I install? confusing ...

Thanks!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If you are on Gingerbread you can use the CWM recovery you already have to wipe then flash to an ICS rom as long as it isn't touch recovery (hitman 1.5.1 has touch recovery but you're probably not using it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MochaCharok:
FTFY

Hiya.

First of all, if you're on Calk's GB 3.0, this isn't exactly the right thread for that, as this is the thread for Calk's ICS 1.6.

Either way, if you are still on Calk's GB 3.0 ROM, first you must check if the ROM will install on an EL29 recovery. If the ROM flashing instructions explicitly say to use an EL26 CWM recovery, do follow the directions on how to make avail of that recovery and flash.

If the ROM plays nicely with EL29 recoveries, you're already good to go as Calk's 3.0 is EL29 based and therefore has a EL29 recovery.

Good luck!
