Wow 12 Leaks. They most be getting close to an Official release. Anyone try the new Modem with Calk's 1.1 yet. I will report back a little later with results
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] towir022:
The ROM was epic touch aosp mod. I had not manually flashed any modems so unless flashing my last ROM also changed the modem I would have just had the stock one from before my phone was rooted

I had to go back to EL29, I was missing calls, only 1/2 a ring then to voicemail, phone getting hot, and GPS never locked.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kruxoli:

I am running the FC14 modem on E4GT2 1.1, and have had no problems with calls. I was able to use dial tones and receive/send calls effectively.

I have found that my heating and battery issues are more frequent when I restore any GingBr data in Ti Backup (system or app), so this probably has nothing to do with the modem. Other ROMs and devs report similar issues.

GPS hanging issues are still present. I am looking forward to FC14 builds from the devs soon. Thanks for the hard work Calk!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Randomsilliness:
Thanks, ill do that to get me by, but i can already tell you that no one will understand my texts now :)

Is it silly that im almost ready to go back to GB to get rid of that icon for the keyboard selection LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clayginn:
on FC14 There is or seems to still be the GPS issue. Not seeing the 1/2 ring issues. One I didn't see posted is that when connected to my wireless the icon is gone sometimes. All I see is the 2 little arrows. then I'll unlock and it's there.

When I installed the new Modem I wiped Dalvik-cache and Cache but not Data.

I was previously using Calkulin's 2.3.6 ROM. I performed a Nandroid backup, used his format all utility, and then installed this 1.1 ROM.

I am a bit confused on what my options are at this point forward.

1. If I boot into recovery can I simply restore the backup I made in CWM prior to installing this 1.1 ROM? I don't want to brick my phone and I have read some problems with reverting back from an ICS ROM to a GB ROM.

2. Can I flash another ROM directly from this one if I choose? If so is any ROM that can be flashed from CWM safe to flash to?

Someone please clarify this for me, I don't want to make any mistakes I will regret. I used to flash ROM's on my EVO 4G with reckless abandon, but I want to be extra careful this time.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
The safest bet is not to flash or wipe anything from an ICS Kernel.

Odin back to a gb kernel to do anything with recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
I'm honestly not sure how to do this. I have always flashed from CWM. Could you give me a tutorial please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gksmith:
I jumped to FC14 with this ROM. So far things are awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] info[]box1:
I used sfhub Fc 07 automated package (odin). Then used sfhub autoroot package (odin) option to install rogue Fc 07 CWM kernel. Then I flash Calkulin tweaked ICS via rogue CWM recovery. #successfully

I had the same issues with Contacts. Here's what I did: Go into Settings-->Applications-->All and clear data for Contacts Storage & Contacts. Then immediately run the Contacts app, press Menu and choose to display only contacts with phone numbers. I also chose to only display contacts associated with my google account, but I'm not sure that step made any difference.

I hope that helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
Our mod jerdog made a thread on how to use Odin on a Windows pc. Look for it; its pretty simple once you know the steps.

I have a similar htc background as you. Odin is a good tool to know how to use, much like adb. To be safe and avoid any brickage, don't use any recovery built into an ICS kernel until the source is released and this bug is fixed. Always Odin back to a gb kernel/recovery to do anything, including wiping cache, flashing, etc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Have I already gone down the wrong path by flashing the ROM being discussed in this thread thorugh CWM? Does that mean I have a recovery built into an ICS kernel?

I'm so confused. What should be my next step?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schlonky:
There seems to be issues with using CWM with an ICS-based kernal. Since you flashed this ROM through CWM while you were on a GB-based kernal you should be OK. Now, however, should you want to restore your nandroid backup, it would be safest to first ODIN back to a GB kernal and recovery and restore your backup from that CWM recovery.

My method for doing this is to:

Run sfhub's EL29 one-click to get back to a GB kernal/Rom.

Boot into the Rom

Then use sfhub's Auto-Root package to push the EL29 repack kernal with CWM recovery (select option C and on the next menu select the appropriate option for EL29+CWM)

Reboot into recovery and restore from backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
So if I am going to stay on ICS ROM's going forward none of this is necessary? Let's say I wanted to flash a different ICS ROM now, do I just go into CWM and flash it?

Also what would be my course to repair the GPS in this ROM, I cannot get a lock at all.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coiledwire:
If you want to play it 100% safe, don't do anything using ics kernels with recovery. I flashed this rom with an ICS recovery also, and fared ok. But it's risky business. From here on out, I will use Odin to go back to a gb kernel and use the gb recovery to even flash any ics roms.

For the GPS, either get a gps lock using a gb rom and flash to this rom, or wait til calk updates this rom to fc14 which I hear is better with gps.

Sent at 1900MHz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
I guess I'm just not fluent enough in all of this language and remain thoroughly confused.

If I want to flash the fc14 update from Calk over this, what is the procedure?

What if I want to flash an entirely different ICS ROM over this?

Also how do I install ODIN at this point?

Someone please explain to me what the status of my phone is right now having installed this ROM using CWM from Calk's 2.3.6 ROM.

Flustered.....

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can install any other rom in CWM recovery as well.

We talking about safe way to flash. Or you can say about right way to flash.

If you are willing to take a risk (quite a few users bricked their phones) you can do it your own way.

It's up to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
Like everyone is saying... odin a gb kernel/recovery in order to flash anything.

Sounds like you have a lot of reading to do :) Read the wiki at the top of the page for info.

cm9 is VERY touchy with recovery so you need to be careful there. with the stock builds it is PROBABLY ok to flash using ics recovery but it is still risky at this point. We need samsung and sprint to hurry up with the kernel source so we can see what it is doing. until then it is best to play it safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
That's the problem, there is too much information and it is very difficult to make sense out of it.

I hear you loud and clear, one thing that would help immensely is if I could clearly grasp how to "odin a gb kernel/recovery". Is this something I can do now that I have this ROM installed?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rek410:
Odin is a program that runs on your computer (windows) and is used to root/update kernel, etc... You need to use the USB cable to connect your phone and then push the update via Odin onto the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Thank you, I understand that part. Is it safe to install Odin on my Windows 7 PC and start using it with this Calk 1.1 ROM currently installed? If so I guess I would follow the tutorial by Jerdog to do so?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
-Download odin to your computer

-go here and download el26 w/cwm(.tar)

http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/

-open odin

-click pda button and put the .tar you just downloaded in that slot

-w/ phone off, long press volume down and power until you are in download mode

-press the volume up rocker

-plug phone in to your pc (make sure ONLY AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED in odin)

-click start

-let odin run its course

your phone will reboot and you're done

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

you can use odin with any rom. It's not at all rom related

Edit: Yes it is safe to install on win 7 and use

Yet another edit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjwB9mhn3Q
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
Thank you! just to confirm, flashing el26 w/cwm(.tar) will bring me back to a GB based kernel and recovery AND it will also flash a GB ROM. Is that correct? From that point would I flash ROM's from ODIN exclusively?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
this will flash el 26 kernel with clockwork mod recovery. You need to use this method when flashing back to a gb rom from an ics rom that doesn't have a repacked kernel...meaning a kernel that has cwm included. If you are running an ICS rom that has a repack then you can flash back to GB without using odin. You really only need to use odin if you are "soft bricked" or you are on an ICS leak that doesn't include cwm and are flashing a tar or bin

Some prefer flashing via odin using tar files, while some prefer flashing zip files via cwm

Edit: This is NOT flashing a new rom. Just to clear it up a bit. This rom has a repack. You can boot into recovery, make a nandroid, restore and old nandroid, flash a new rom, flash zips.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AgSully:
I cannot connect to wifi on any ics rom I have loaded. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] docprego:
By saying this ROM has a repack, you are talking about Calk's 1.1 ICS ROM that this thread is devoted to, right?

My issue is that GPS does not work on this ROM at all, so I need to flash back to a GB ROM and do the GPS fix. Can I simply boot into recovery and restore my previous Calk 2.3.6 Nandroid backup I made before flashing this ICS ROM? Then flash back to Calk's 1.1 iCS using CWM recovery from the 2.3.6 ROM? Will I avoid the potential bricking issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1brainsurgeon:
Yes. Just make sure to do a full wipe and flash calks format all before restoring. I've done it many many times...

Bugs

Based on my experience with this rom. Most of the problems for me start when i flash the ICS theme for this build. Earlier today the gps wasnt working and the sprint hotspot apk will let me tether for about 5 minutes before turning off, when I go to re-install an odex'ed version of the apk the ICS theme updates again and nothing is fixed plus my power menu wont display when I hold the button. Even better when I hold the button for about 3 seconds to bring up the menu, 30 seconds later it automatically restarts.

So as is I re-flashed 1.1 via recovery and my gps started working, the hotspot was on for around 30 minutes before I turned it off and my power menu was working properly again.

I re-flashed the ICS theme and my gps is working. Hotspot connects then auto disconnects(yes i turned the timeout to never timeout), and now my auto rotation isn't working even though its selected from the settings. I also restored my wifi sharing settings with titanium but nothing changed.

If possible Id like to see the volume rockers used to skip music again, undervolt, and the extended power menu but I realize this version is only 1.1

FYI- I've restored via recovery from ics rom with the FC07 kernel back to 2.9.2 and nothing bad happened (and yes the kernel went back to my previous one)

Maybe you can only flash cal's roms? I think I heard other people saying that they were using rom manager I think but I have no idea why you would want to.

Hope some of this helps. Love your roms cal.

I brought up a few bugs earlier but never got a response. Has anyone noticed any of these?

Gmail - Pictures don't automatically load and while I can set it to always load pictures from a particular sender, that doesn't help when it's a new sender. There is an "Ask to show pictures" option in settings but it doesn't give me a selectable toggle like the other options. It just says "Pictures won't be shown automatically" when I click it. I wan't the exact opposite of that!

GPS - I saw a few people talking about GPS and while I don't have any issues getting a lock, I sometimes have the GPS logo stay in the top left corner, not flashing, even after I've left the app using GPS. The only way to get rid of it seems to be a reboot.

Games - Running certain games (noticed it on "Where's my Water") is extremely slow. The time to load between levels went from under a second on 2.9.1 to 5-8 seconds on the ICS ROM. Is this common?

LED Notifications - I can't seem to get a red notification. On 2.9.1 all the google based notifications defaulted to red (gmail, talk) but now they're blue. I've tried setting both Touchdown (exchange server) and Handcent to do red, but they display nothing. If I choose blue, they come out magenta. It's really strange.

Charge only mode - Is there a USB charge only mode? It seems to default to MTP when I plug into my computer which charges it so slowly that it's almost as if it isn't charging. I like to be able to top up at my desk and this doesn't seem to be an option on ICS.

Charge indicator - On 2.9.1 when charging you got the little lightning bolt showing you the phone was charging. I don't see that anymore on the ICS ROM.

Think that's about it for now!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
FC15 works with FC07 repacked kernel with CWM recovery.

You can flash kernel separately after flashing rom or grab the zImage file from FC07 rom with CWM recovery and put it into FC15 zip file replacing FC15 kernel.

Should work either way.

Or you can check rom I just uploaded. It comes with FC07 kernel.
