[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Why do a lot of the ICS builds I'm seeing on here flash back to a stock recovery?

Please forgive my ignorance, but I've been using a Nexus One for two years now, and some things are different with this shiny new E4GT of mine. I'm sure sure it has something to do with the fact that the Nexus One ran AOSP builds, but in all the ROM's I ran on my N1, never did it flash a different recovery, the recovery was always kept separate and not flashed with a ROM. Sure there were ROM's that required a different H-Boot, or a newer version of a Recovery, but they were still flashed separately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
We know :) and it brings a swype that almost makes me not run to the ics keyboard right away!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The recovery is packed into the initramfs of the zImage (kernel+initramfs). Unlike other platforms, there isn't a separate partition used for recovery (there is a separate partition, it just isn't being used)

Thus custom recovery is tied to the kernel it was "repacked" with. If there is a new release, either you release it with the custom recovery packed with the old kernel or you release it with the current matched kernel. It makes more sense to do the latter.

Further with tar files, if you flash a kernel using ODIN that wasn't signed by Samsung, you trigger a yellow triangle warning at boot and you increment the Odin flash count. You can reset those with a USB jig or if running ICS kernel, triangle away software, the latter requires you be able to boot into the system, something that may not always be possible if you have bricked or partially bricked your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
What about mobile odin for say like the FC07 kernel. I did not trigger it myself though i swear someone said on the second reboot they got one. Ive to this day not managed to move the odin counter or cause the triangle.

I appreciate you giving him the complete explanation since it educates me as well. I knew it was packed into the kernel but didn't know all of that!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Only ODIN, auto root and mobile ODIN won't trigger the yellow triangle nor will they increase the ODIN flash count.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Inverted Google apps that work on this Rom are available on Rootz Wiki. Flashable zips and they look great. Thanks Travp. See my post here to find the link to the Rootz Wiki page.

Mixing some of latest ICS components

Like many who are posting here, the latest rush of new releases from Samsung makes it hard to decide which stuff to install, in what order and what kind of results to expect.

Prior to today, I was running Calkulin's FC07 rooted with the extra tweaks, FC07 Modem and rogue_ET-recovery-1.2.2-FC07-rc0.tar.

Based on past several weeks of trial & error plus having read posts on a number of threads, here's latest combo I installed and the results:

Installed from CWM in this order after ONLY wiping cache and davlik-cache:

Calkulin's Stock Rooted FC14 deodex zip

E4GT_Modem_FC14.zip

FC07_Hotspot_deodex_new.zip

Rebooted and everything running smoothly including all prior apps.

Installed using ODIN from my desktop Windows PC:

rogue_ET-recovery-1.2.2-FC07-rc0.tar

Rebooted, saw the yellow triangle but everything running smoothly including all prior apps.

Installed using Astro File Manager:

TriangleAway-v1.10.apk

Rebooted and yellow triangle gone.

Rebooted into CWM by using the Quick Boot app (free at market) and made a backup.

Rebooted and everything working including WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, Sprint Hotspot (hacked thanks to the FC07_Hotspot_deodex_new.zip),email, browser and several dozen other apps. The ONLY app that continues to make me crazy is Visual Voicemail. If I don't manually go into settings for it and check the Speakerphone automatically on box, it won't let me use speakerphone at all during message playbacks.

Hope this info helps someone (anyone),

Glenn :)

Question anybody know the difference between fc13,fc14,fc15, releases I know Calk released fc14 on the 15th of march maybe calk knows obviously there will be variances on the software but why 3 versions 3 days in a row
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
yeah fc15 is the best :)

how go you mean smoother and polished or everything functioning correctly now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
There is a reason Calk went with fc14 over fc13&fc15
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
No issues here have you tried the simple stuff like reboot or restart your phone if do maybe post in more detail does it fc everytime so on so forth do all these great xdaers can try and help you resolve you're issue

I am on FC07 with the repacked kernel. After reading all of the warnings about not flashing roms with the repack, just wanted to see if it was safe. Is everyone else flashing with the repacked recovery or going back to stock first?

I'm still new to the Rom install business but have been running Calk's Gingerbread ROM for a while and like it a lot. I was in the process of getting ready to jump to his FC07 ICS ROM (which seems pretty awesome) when this one came out.

Should I do this one instead? What's the difference? I'm assuming FC14 is better because it's got 7 more FC's that FC07? Please help the inexperienced!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Yes, could anyone comment as to whether notification sound+vibration works yet? Refuse to switch until that's fixed. And its such a small thing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
This is not OTA at least not right now. These are all pretty much Test builds and should be taken as such.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
No gps lock for me :/

no notification sounds when getting a text

no idea about wallpaper sizing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:
LMFAO. The FC17 simply means that it is the most current version available, so you would be right by assuming that its better.

F = 2012. C = March. 14 = the date.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Well, technically all the releases aren't ready for "official release" but I guess more problems would get fixed then broken as time goes on....the 07 and 14 are referring to dates. (march 7 and march 14)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
-GPS lock - GPSD was updated

-notification sounds - there was an update to the audio policy, so could be fixed

-wallpaper sizing - Not an issue with TouchWiz, so I doubt it will be fixed

Im pretty sure to fix the wallpaper sizing you just install the AOSP gallery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I always send him the kernel from new builds as soon as I get them, it's just not an easy/fast process to repack
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Reignzone:
No, I actually rather prefer the STOCK kernel, because I seem to have issues with "SoD" reoccurring when I use his repacked versions.

I am just looking for the kernel from this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:
There no kernel attached to the fc14 modem rite cause I'm on cm9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I never had that problem and more than 90% of time, just wiping out cache and dalvik cache worked out. Only one time I had the problem was moving from GB to ICS.

I think, as long as the system is formatted and rewritten by installation package, we are safe. By not doing factory reset, if the system is bricked, then the problem could be in somewhere else.

By the way, it seems like the battery life is better than previous build and GPS lock is immediate. No outstanding issues found yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfcooley:
Haven't flashed ROM yet but there is an improvement in the modem. Better signal than I had on previous modems. Flashed fine through FC07 repack.

Really strange. I flashed using deodexed ROM and (like I mentioned before) I only wipped cache/dalvik cache. When the system booted, I saw that system is optimizing the apps. That's it. I don't think optimizing the app removes some apps.

Anyone else? All you guys see the Sprint Radio/TV, Nascar apps?

[Changed my mind] "I don't think optimizing the app removes some apps." - Sprint apps are installed separately after the reboot. So it seems like those apps are not installed during the reboot. It's good thing to me anyway. :)

Still on FC07 and wondering about external SD card issue, any remedys or workarounds for this besides unmounting and remounting.

FC07 is still very stable good batt. Only wacky thing is that my 4G has laim download and crack crazy uploads, like 196 kbps D/L - 1266 kbps U/L , anyone else notice this, I checked signal with another epic (stock) and 4G was good.

The other wierd thing was that the distance displayed to the nearest tower/servers in the "change server" button on Speedtest.net where off by an average of 15 miles, as compared to the stock Epic.

Would like to see some fixes for these quirks before going for those extra "FC's"
