I would like to be able to turn off the hardware soft keys too! :)

Noob question: When this ROM gets updated, how would I do it via the Android recovery?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

The Search also keeps crashing. Can't find the stock ICS one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] konman21:
Well ive done mine through

Mobil Odin. Flashing El26.tar and going to

Recovery when i see it boot up (power and volume +)

then formatting all using calkulin zip

and installing the rom after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
not sure, but I dont think format all is good w aosp roms... just normal 9x wipes...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Why it works just fine .... No problems at all with format all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
If you flash el26 to use the CWM, wont it cause issues if youre moving to an ICS ROM? Even if you are just updating, youre temporarily on a GB kernel while flashing...no? Just curious... read it in the OP of at least one ROM, just doing 9x wipes has been working great for me... would be nice to know if it even matters w/ CNA/AOKP/Gummy... as thats all I plan on bothering with for a while ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crunchybutternut:
AFAIK.. You would only run into a problem having a Gingerbread Kernel with an ICS ROM if you tried to boot the system. As long as you do all of your flashing from the Gingerbread Kernel, and switch back to an ICS Kernel prior to booting, you will not have any problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Why even do 9x wipes do you format a hard drive on a computer 9x ...the only reason we did 2 wipes back in the day was because cwm on the og evo was screwed up . You only need to wipe each one time and caulks format works great on ics and GB ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
agreed, BUT when flashing CNA flash twice. the first flash doesn't seem to actually go through. it takes about 3 seconds whereas the second flash takes about 20 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
I always laugh when I read about people wiping multiple times!

Epix is right; this isn't your butt on diahhrera; its an electronic device, one wipe is all it needs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elvelozpotosino:
I love this rom , can't wait to get 2.0. Using videocam from the market for videos now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Idk if there is truth to it or not at this point. But I will say, I Always wipe twice. (habit from the Evo4G) And I have NEVER once had the issues many seem to have with flashes. Just saying, and it can't hurt. Small trouble for a small peace of mind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skndeep102:
same here. I also have never had to flash any of the aosp roms twice they take the normal amount of time to first flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
Ah, Evo forums, makes sense. Wiping 9x (3 each cache data dalvik) comes from the OG Epic forums, look at most ROMS for it and it always says wipe 3 each... thought it did for a lot of the early ones for this device as well. Maybe it was a screwy CWM back on the Epic as well... but that was the routine. I was more looking for a dev to confirm about the calks wipe all, as it was said not to do it with some aosp roms... not debating the your ass wiping habits. Like I said, Evo forums, makes sense. Since this a dev thread it doesnt make too much sense for everyone to be suggesting 12 ways to flash. That doesnt really help... just a pissing contest... get over it.

Edit: was just looking for clarification from a dev not Evo forum antics. @Epix this wasnt just for you, but also the other commenter who decided to be a smartass instead of being constructive. I wasnt criticizing calks format all, simply saying it has been said not to use it on ICS flashes... nothing personal...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_remanence

oh and I think people do wipe hard drives more than once...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
yah and on the flipside, I have had to flash twice EVERY time with both AOKP and Codename... maybe its because I oneclick back to el29, flash el26/cwm script, wipe, flash... I always start over... I just hate flashing to find out I botched it trying to cut corners and 'update' two days later when everything is set up... everyone is different... and I really do think theres something to the mass production of the chips etc that causes different peoples devices to act differently. Thats why I always stick with OP directions, that and if we all do the same, in the case of a Dev thread, were all doing the same methods to reduce variables in the case of bugs. OK no more side topic outta me...

How would I update? Do I have to go back to a CWM rom to flash an update for codename?

[/COLOR]How would I update? Do I have to go back to a CWM rom to flash an update for codename?[/QUOTE]

I use mobile Odin to flash the cwm recovery. Then very very and I must insist very carefuly do a wipe cache, dalvik cache and system then flash the update. The only downside any apps you have installed directly to system/aps will be gone. Ive use this previously to update a codename built or ics builts. but be very careful fully wipe data aswell if you are doing this to switch from ICS to GB or CODENAME
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
videocam from the market lets you play back your videos with no problem?

So could I still flash the gapps too so I don't have to manually push them all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Well, sadly, my CNA flashing didnt go well, and have to rush to work now. Boo.

Got some "find build.prop" messages, and then installation aborted... twice...

Thought I followed the posted-everywhere-sixty-two-times-instructions exactly, didn't happen though...

(this was the latest CNA, latest gapps...)

Sorry for the brevity and untechnical post, but any quick thoughts, comrades? I intend to try again tonight when I have more than an hour to focus on the project.

Also, I truly love nandroids. What a gawdamed relief to be able to just get back to normal when things **** up. Never ceases to be a source of awesome.

Edit: I just realized I used the el29 OC, instead of the recommend el26...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
why is whatever rom i use is always the last to be updated...

waiting on the 4.0.4 update here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fendulon:
If you're really itching for 4.0.4 try AOKP. It's pretty smooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] badname:
Yeah, im gonna right now, hopefully a mod wipe will let me keep my stuff

Update:

This is honestly enough reason to go back to codename

Can't center toggles unless brightness slider is there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
if youi want 4.04, then try cm9A2;its 100%% rock solid and works just like a full blown release..

That will def hold you over until codename gets 4.04..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
Or aokp ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcarlm:
So let me ask. I know the video camera is not working but is youtube, netflix and veetle working? Pretty much flash videos? I dont think I can use this touchwiz much longer and I like codename much better then aokp coming from a ex nexus s 4g user.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
yep, or AOKP...both are 4.04, and run great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkfire2024:
Neither work as of the latest builds. However, the next build that T.C.P. drops on us will have 4.0.4, and all of the aforementioned good to go! :D

I'm running CM9 so far, 160 lcd density, and all is well, until I codename 2.0 drops. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hijewpositive:
Am I missing something? Or does the download link only have nightly mods in it?

Where can I actually download the Codename rom from? I'm dying to try it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fendulon:
Those are the ROM files. That is just how they are labeled
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Yea.. cm9a2 wi h ics reloaded mod works great for customizing the whole status bar/notificaions drop down..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
been running Gummy... I like it... all three of these ROMs have awesome features... I say once the 'challenge' is over, they adopt each others features... just as far as simple setting features, the kernel level tweaks should be what really set them apart, no? Speaking of, if these are ports of GNex ROMs essentially, are you (devs) able to do kernel level tweaks somehow before the porting process? I dont really know how this level of stuff works, but im just curious. Once we have source, these ROMS should become native to our device, then more kernel tweaks should be possible, right? Either way... love the Gummy ability to change colors etc... I cant wait till I can have CNA with black/red and minimal ICS/Cyan blue... thats gonna be sweet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xCovErtWolFx757:

im sorry, is that an excuse to act all high and mighty with constant remarks DRIPPING in spite? is that an excuse to flame other people, and adding to the already cluttered mess these threads are? who is epix to run around all the threads flaming people over something so simple?

man i miss the hero days when people liked to answer questions, no matter how many times they were asked. the truth is that tard only makes it worse. there was a day wen a person could ask a question and not get flamed. maybe instead of adding to it, he could keep quiet and let someone a bit more mature answer the question, or even just let it get piled under the rest

Which is better in terms of battery life, speed, stability, etc? AOKP or codename?

so... go... flash...

I was thinking of trying this out on my girls e4gt which is running aokp now. She is getting terrible battery life with it, as are others. I ran TCP's build of MIUI 2.2.13 for the longest time and it had incredible battery life...is the same true with CNA? Are most of you getting good battery life with this ROM? I've seen a few people post in that thread saying the battery is much better here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swift2989:
In my case bro it's the best rom I've used on this phone hands down but its lacking on battery life. That's my 2 cents but I continue to use it like that cause its great on performance.... Just wish I could underclock and undervolt the rom for superior battery life :-\

Gb tw roms have better battery as of now, but as long as I can finish the day with juice left in the battery, I'm happy.

Based on my own personal habits, I find battery to be better on this than I did on aokp 4.0.4

had to flash twice it did not stick the first time thanks for all the help guys sorry for being so anxious to jump ship
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
I noticed on the first flash it flashed really quick, which happened to me on AOKP and the phone wouldn't boot past splash screen. So when I noticed it flashed really quick this time on Codename I figured it was like the same thing that happened on AOKP so as soon as it got down flashing I flashed it again, which took the normal amount of time to flash and then flashed GAPPS and it booted just fine. So when you flash, if you notice it flashes extremely quick then try just flashing again, then flash GAPPS and reboot.

Rule #1 states to search before posting, not to not ask questions. Just sayin'.

For a user who isn't involved as much as others, one might not know much about the method of flashing to Ice Cream Sandwich without minimal risk. The user was clearly aware of the instructions which implies that he did in fact read. However, not understanding why and asking for clarification can't hurt. If you don't know the back story of a process it makes it difficult to search for such a specific answer.

Rule for a NEW THREAD is definately clear, as for posts within an existing, rules are vague. If you search and read first then you should be good to go. Some people just have too much time on their hands. BUT, if you see the two threads in general, seems consensus is do what the OP (dev) requests... if they say dev only, keep it to the general thread... if they prefer only one thread, like Agat, post accordingly. Last post on this subject in Dev I swear... refer to the threads in general debating this issue. Besides, he didnt say 'omg I wanna have your baby'...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DutchDogg54:
+1 to both of you...I don't even know what question/post this all stemmed from so I couldn't be posting in response to it specifically. I was just pointing out that it is mentioned (and I didn't know about this mention until somebody referred to it like I did), but ungovernable stated it correctly that it's vague.
