Last time I installed FC07 Deodexed and FC07 Modem, I did a Wipe All, then Flashed the ROM and then the Modem in one session.

I ran into a borked 4G screen, But I did a Battery pull, and everything went well.

One thing was that my Market Apps didn't all come back. I was going to auto install them, But I only had about 20 show out 100.

After auto-installing the 20 from the Market, I remembered about 30 more, and installed them. I ended up trimming the fat, so to speak.

If the Market should 'forget' my Apps again, can I do a Restore of apks from My Backup Pro, without system data (restoring sys data possibly can screw things up.)

This would save me a lot of time just in case.

I have Titanium, but I gotta check if it can Restore without system data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
TB has an option to restore app without data.

But if you switching between builds (GB->ICS) you will be safer to download apps from market. Some apps are not compatible with both builds.

Like Nova launcher is not compatible with GB (just an example).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
market.android.com

click on "My android Apps" Its pretty much a list of apps you have installed (sometimes some are not listed) and you can install them right from there simple and fast.

Extracting Kernel is not that difficult.

This is what I usually do before Rogue recovery kernel comes out.

1. Get the zImage file for the stock rom zip file

2. copy it to sdcard

3. mobile odin the previous recovery kernel (currently we are FC14 without Rogue recovery kernel. So, to do something from recovery, I use FC07 tar Rogue recovery kernel)

4. boot into recovery (Rogue FC07 recovery kernel)

5. do whatever recovery task

6. reboot

7. after reboot, mobile odin again with zImage file that I copied from zip file.

8. again reboot (at this point stock recovery restored)

9. from system updates, I do 'update profile' to be sure that everything is up to dated.

10. done.

In here, you can also use the pc version odin. But I prefer to use mobile odin. Because it works great for individual task.

Actually, I forgot to apply Calk's bare rom converter just after the flashing rom. So, I lost the recovery kernel. But I just finished running bare rom converter and came back to stock FC14 kernel. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Ah, ok.

Thanks.

So since I'm going form FC07 to FC14, I can just Restore the apks & data from My Backup Pro.

The app worked nicely with GB.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

I went into that last time, and that's where it only showed I had 20 apps instead of the 100 I had previously.

Correction:

I went into My Apps from the Market, or whatever they call it now lol! And that's where there were only 20 showing.

I didn't go into market.android.com though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TX2000:
Idk how acurate is that info. Because that hight % without signal is not right ,i used it all day and didnt lost any call. Must be related with the crazy signal bar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
If you are moving fc07 to fc14, why don't you just keep the data and just flash the rom?

I always did that and had no problem. What you need to do before installing fc14 is run the modified Calk's format all zip file. This will keep all of your data and you don't need to spend lots of time to recover all your data after new rom is installed.

For me, I have about 300 apps running on my phone, and I don't see any single app crashing after the migration from FC07 to FC14.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
FC14 Installed :)

No GPS..........again..........................

Anyway, reinstalling some stuff, and will see how it goes.

Thanks Calkulin ;)

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

I didn't know if I could run the Modified Format.

If I would have known there would be no issues, I would.

Too bad I didn't read your post before I installed FC14.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll run the modified in the future.

I ran it with GB.

Btw, I owe you a Thanks as I've reached the limit ;)

Anyone having a problem with the xda app..when I back out of a thread instead of going back to the list of other threads the app restarts....its really annoying
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brushrop03:
Seems from a few reviews that FC14 is a step backwards from FC07....?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Anybody running this on the repacked fc07 kernel if so any new or unusual issues.I usually wipe/flash modem/flash ROM/flash most current repacked kernel just to keep cwm once steady repacks the newest kernel I flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm running with repacked FC07 kernel since this morning and have no problems whatsoever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
As far as GPS I get a quick lock through maps but when I use navigation or places it doesn't always lock on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Calkulin your are a skilled coder I appreciate the work and I go donate as I can I don't doubt you elm have the tweaked FC14 out within the next 12 hours lol thanks again buddy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I get a Text Message Notification, as well as a vibrate alert.

qbking77 wasn't getting either in his video, except for the Blue LED indicator.

4G is Super Slow.

DL .3 - 2.5Mbps :eek:

DL on FC07 - up to approx. 9 Mbps

2 Tests.

I'll try again after things settle in.

I didn't test 3G.

No GPS lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can try to use a different modem. If FC07 was good for you just reflash FC07 modem and use it with FC14 rom if you like the rom better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I updated Profile and PRL again. Then Rebooted.

4 Speedtests

Download - 2.5 - 7.5 Mbps

Upload - up to 2.5

I'll wait and see before changing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
These are my speed test results they alternate the ones close to 1mb are on 3g i hit 1.2mb max on 3g the ones around 10mb are 4g i hit 11.9mb on 4g my speeds are fast on thus fc14 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
So for alerts, I wasnt getting any on an early ICS leak, but I think that was LOS, but im on 07 now, and get text alert with vibe, ring with vibe... It looks like they just took out the global notification vibe setting, but you can enable it in stock sms, same vibe options, always, never, etc.. and for ring vibe I used Audio Manager, and it lets me click the little vibe icon and now (like it did on GB) it vibes with ring, seems that setting is still in there, just hidden now...? Im lovin 07 so far, 2nd day... I dont wanna jinx it if nothing major has changed for the better... im glad that CCR is gone, what the hell was that??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Sometimes it depends on the server you download from when conducting the test my speeds were slower on fc07 each device is different though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Fc07 was solid I agree prob give it another day to get a good list of reports each phone reacts different to software
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
No I wouldn't say that.. Some people are just trying to do too much ****. I'm running it stock with exception of the aosp ics calendar.

GPS is fixed and phone runs better than previous leaks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
They polished it seems lot smoother than fc07
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
This feels like it could be final. It's incredibly smooth, and the issues I was having before seem to be gone (software doesn't feel clunky like it did in FC07). Really liking this...oh and battery life seems better. Flashed this right after it was posted, used my phone decently for the remainder of the day, didn't charge last night, and I'm still at 44%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Getting really good overnight idle battery life with FC14 just as I did with FC07. Only ~0.7% used per hour. Never got anything like that with Gingerbread and I was underclocking (SetCPU set to Calkulin's battery saver number), undervolting, and using conservative governor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I haven't jumped to FC14 yet myself because my setup has been working so well up to this point. I figured I would give it a couple of days to see what others are reporting but I agree about the idle battery drain. Lost 2% in 7 hours idle last night
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robmiller:
Does anyone have an odin fc14 kernel I can download? Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Actually I had it done since about 12pm yesterday, just waiting on repacked kernel to do testing ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Why hasn't Samsung hired you yet?

You're always on top of things bro.

Waiting on your tweaked version along with the repacked kernel.

Keep up the great work.:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Because then Calkulin would have to release ROMs with broken features and then do daily updates until they were all worked out like Samsung does. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Haha maybe, but Calks ROMs wouldn't be like Samsung, they would be like Calks XDA roms. :p

Either way, calk does great work.

Sent from my Modified with AWESOMENESS Epic 4G Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Agreed. Great work and is still nice enough to zip up these leaks so fast
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
As soon as sfhub and steady hawkin do their magic, I'll be all over the new calkulin custom ROM like a homo in a penis tree.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
Can anyone report if the exchange activesync still needs the repacent apk files?

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Answered my own question by flashing and giving it a try.

The answer is yes you still need to replace the apk files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LilWeech:
Calk tu si es El Matatan :D, the only issue I have is the Gps and I don't use it so I could care less about it. FC14 modem is a beast. Just waiting for your tweak version and SSCONCEPTZ and Overstew theme.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I probably wouldn't bother John, unless you feel like testing. The nagging issues in FC07, still seem to persist in FC14.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickhernandez:
Is it pretty stable? I had some lag issues with the last leak. As well as my 3G being kinda borky. That was with the new modem too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SRobby:
Bugs so far

Here is what ive found so far in this build

SDCard - Random Removed still

Bluetooth - Switching from phone to music in my truck makes the music play on the phone, and not even through the speaker phone, through the earpiece.

Notifications/Ringtones - Still random, sounds on sdcard or in system seem to work only randomly, i can sometimes see "unknown notification" under settings for the ringtone or default notification.

Stock Email - When clicking the notification, takes you to the account instead of the email itself, not sure if its a bug or just a config, havnt seen a spot to change it.

Wallpaper - still having trouble with resizing, was able to set it once, if i go back to change it, no dice, Lockscreen format only.

Just letting people know what I''ve found.

Thanks for all your hard work Calk, it's very appreciated, cheers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdglenn:
I dont
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Have you been getting any disconnects or Player FCs when playing music from your phone to your car via Bluetooth? As of FC07, I'm finally able to pair Bluetooth to my Sony car stereo, but after playing for 10 to 15 mins, Bluetooth disconnects and the audio player FCs. This was happening with two different Apps, MortAudioBookPlayer and Power Amp.

The Apps don't FC when playing through the headphone jack to the Aux input on the stereo, so it's definitely Bluetooth related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rw6497:
Ive lost recovery flashing this. I did do a nand back up but because recovery is stock android it wont let me recover. Any suggestions? Rom is really nice n stable except gps does nit work an no pinch reflow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Just going off of what I started to deal with in FC14 within the first few hours with it I'm going to have to agree with something Calk said the day before he leaked the rom and just posted a pic of the About Phone. There is still a lot more work Samsung needs to do before this gets a OTA. I give them credit for what's there however the rom is nice and it's fast but some of the issues are just honestly stupid losing sounds from notifications? and the exchange problem. It makes me wonder at times who it is they have testing some of these builds and/or if anyone is bothering to actually test everything they can or just looking at the rom and thinking well it's fast it looks good O.o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EnVy MoNtOyA:
Try to oden the latest recovery... It should work enough for you to recover.. You could even use mobile oden from the market if you want
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I just noticed that my pinch flow on zoom is not working properly.

I can enlarge the text but the text is no longer fitting the screen. I have to scroll horizontally. It used to 'flow' to fit the page.

I think this started when I installed my first ICS ROM (FC07)

Is this a known issue with ICS, or am I just a lucky guy :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rw6497:
Thanks envi gonna give that a shot although I have no clue how to use Odin. Hopefully self explanatory:-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Every Samsung phone owner who mods their device should be comfortable with Odin. It comes in handy, especially lately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleepy926:
This ROM is good but it doesn't have the power and speed as the one you made so what are wee whating for tweak !!!!!! It.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Evil_4Genius:
Look up Qbking77 on youtube (search Qbking77 epic 4g touch). He has a few videos on how to use Odin on your PC. Once you get that down you should be able to use mobile odin which is great for installing kernels once you loose them after installing stock roms.

Good Luck.

I think since Sprint doesn't have an oficial ICS phone yet some of sprint apps are not working with these roms. They just havent updated them to API15 (AKA ICS 4.0.3) and phone is not recognized by those apps.

Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
We're definitely in the final stretch. GPS now works reliably and without having to be turned off all the time to prevent random locks. Connects fast and even indoors where it didn't before. My only remaining issue (besides the one they're not going to fix: system vibration) is Exchange. And since I know how to do the AOSP trick (and kind of prefer the AOSP app anyway), I'm not that worried about it personally.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
I wonder what happened to the repack. Steady is usually really quick about releasing it.

i use sprint tv ans nascar with no issues, tv app does a update first and works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You must be the lucky one!!

Based on all the questions it doesn't work for most of users.

I don't care about it much since I never used it before and not planning to use in the future but would like to know why it doesn't work and what is the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
No were in the same boat lol.My issue is,not getting a lock through navigation if I open maps then GPS locates me then I search an address then hit navigate it works most of the time navigation alone can't get a gps fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SRobby:
No problems playing at all through BT, only problems happens when i get a call.

1. when picking up the call using stereo, i hear my music on the phone for like 1/2 a second.

2. call sounds fine, no problems, and i can hang using stereo also.

3. When it goes to switch back to music on the stereo, it just doesn't, it will just play the ,music throught the earpiece-speaker, not even the speaker.

The only FC's ive run into have been random non-stock apps, im guessing there associated with the SD Card issue I'm having.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
You didn't see the memo we are the sprint/Samsung testers for roms :D

They need a bunch steadys and Calks cloned we would have a rom and kernel that was 100% functional in a week or not even that just Steady and Calk coding geniuses we are just the Guinea pigs that do the testing :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Not me. I have been able to get GPS if I lock on and then immediately go into recovery and flash the zip file. Without the GPS lock, or if I use sfhub's one click or any other method - no GPS.

I'd love to use this as a daily, but not until I can be more confident in GPS since I use it all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You have to get a lock on a GB Rom and leave GPS on when you reboot into cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Thanks. I read about that, But thought FC14 may have had it fixed.

Gotta read back up on the GPS fix.

Waiting for Steady Hawkin's Repack, then I'll probably give it a go.

I just didn't want to have any issues going from ICS to GB, and Back to ICS again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
No go on GPS for any map or navigational apps for me. It just steadily searches for GPS. Funny thing is when in Google Maps and I try to locate myself on the map using the locate button, it automatically takes me to the wifi settings page instead of the location settings page. I find this strange.

Otherwise this build seems far more fluid and smooth when swiping, scrolling and switching between screens. I noticed this right away on first boot up. Previous leaks seemed to lag and stutter a bit at times. No force closes for me either.

On first boot, all the Sprint apps (aka bloatware) installed right away as indicated by a progress bar with the app icons showing on each install. Once that finished my phone booted up normal and I was at the homescreen. Sure enough all of the Sprint apps (as well as Samsung preinstalled apps) are installed. A couple needed updates as indicated in Google Play so I let them update with no issues.

The web browser is also more smooth and fluid but the setting to make paragraphs auto fit pages does not work. Other than that the browser seems faster and really smooth. Scrolling & pinch-to-zoom is excellent.

signal bars on the upper task bar are still hit & miss. Not sure what the problem with that is... But actually I'm not too worried about signal bars anyway. It doesn't matter if I have 1 bar or 5 bars, I can either make and recieve calls or I can't. There's no in between. Still would be nice if they actually worked.

wifi is already turned on by default on first boot. Not sure why that is. I had to turn it off untill i actually want to use it.

No issues syncing my google contacts. No issues downloading apps from the market.

I haven't tested bluetooth or exchange yet.

wallpapers do not scroll. Not that big a deal to me but it is a nice feature. Wallpaper sizing seems to work as intended.

sprint visual voicemail works. I recieved a voicemail and it worked as it should.

My battery or phone has not gotten hot/very warm with this build. (knocking on wood)

Battery life seems good with no signs of gps draing my battery. Battery standby seems excellent with little to no drain while sitting overnight off the charger. Even with 4G left on, it does not drain the battery. 4G sleeps as intended when not actually in use.

I'd say this is the best build so far other than GPS not working and the mysterious phantom signal bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I needed to try FC14 out. I was getting the stuck searching/locked GPS with FC07. Not anymore for FC14.

Slow speeds for me with this modem, but my speed is generally slow here in Charlotte, NC. Less than 0.5Mbps on 3G and around 5-7 on 4G.

I tried the suggested GPS fix (getting a gps lock on GB Rom and leaving gps on before flashing ICS Rom) and that fixed my GPS. Anybody who has no GPS should do this. It's worth the trouble.

i'm once again having issues with notification sounds. Kinda funny. They always work while plugged in but as soon as I unplug nothing but the blue light. :-(

Probably going back to FC07. Really dont see much change...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Weird, I hear this all the time and never once needed to do it. While GPS sucked on previous leaks, it was still usable as long as I turned it off, rebooted, and turned it back on. Then it would at least work for one nav session before afterward locking up, then I'd repeat the next time I needed it. I upgraded from leak to leak, never going back to GB, never getting a lock first, and now I'm on FC14 where it just works, consistently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Which points out all devices respond different to software some people have great GPS on fc07 some don't some people have GPS working great on fc14 some still have no GPS on fc14

Ty u very much. While I didntt exactly use it to recover,I flashed team rogue recovery which then allowed me to flash another rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_hubbard:
I honestly think that connecting via USB is the cause of most of our notification issues...especially if your notification sounds are on an SD card. I've recreated this multiple times and I do NOT lose my notification sounds any other way.

Three leaks in three days? Unprecedented? Indicative of the final close at hand or is Sammy dicking with devs?

FWIW, I'm running FC14 modem with Calk's repacked FC07 and battery life has deteriorated v. FC07 modem. From what I'm reading that's the exception, not the rule. I'm seeing too many phone-specific problems rather than ROM-specific issues, but I don't know what to draw from that.

Edit: Just flashed FC15 modem, which adds to my curiosity: two new modems in two days. Something seems amiss.
