It's actually all ready for a theme and a boot ani. I didn't expect to see the flashing ANDROID when booting. I had trouble connecting to my wifi router but that POS always gives me issues. It is all stock files so if anything is broken it is Samsung's fault...LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Now I just need help from a DEV to learn where everything is that needs editing, like how to insert the hotspot hack, remove battery full popup, and all the other goodies we love.

To silence battery full beep for now use root explorer or ES File explorer and push this to system\media\audio\ui

You may have to delete a live wallpaper or something because my system directory was full.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Alright! Time for an FC09 Peoples Rom! MTD, v6, full theme selections (red theme, blue theme, neon green, neon orange), all fixes (gps, connection optimizer etc) no bloatware.

Wondering if you could find Sensei and use his as a base...???
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Both Sensei, Toadlife and Hoffman are tied up with life right now. I will PM all 3 to see if one of them can just point me in the right direction.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
LOL...important safety tip...don't flash an EL30 theme on this! Stuck at Samsung. Reflash brought everything back including data which is pretty cool.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks. I wasn't sure about that anymore. I have seen people report different installs and have my Epic on MTD for so long.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Almost all MTD ROMs convert. If CM9 didn't, it wouldn't install ;)

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks Z. I seen users telling people they needed to flash an MTD ROM first and thought "when did that change" and thought I missed something but thanks for the clarification.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, Loved your BML and then later, MTD FC09 prerooted ROMs. I have since gone to CM10, but wouldn't hesitate to go back to one of yours if I decide later that CM10 isn't for me. One question I have you may know, is now that I'm on the latest CM10 nightly, is that if I decide to flash a newer nightly, is that like an upgrade flash or does it wipe me completely back to square one like the first CM flash did? In other words, is flashing a different nightly leave my setup alone like the OTAs did?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It should not touch your data partition. So your third party apps should be there still. It may wipe the system directory requiring reflashing gapps. I have not followed the install procedures but keep an eye on all the threads.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, my wife's phone is on the pre-rooted MTD FC09. Shouldn't the update Profile and PRL work on the MTD version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
I'm not kenny, but yes it should... is it not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What he said. Definitely works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Ok thanks, I replied to the wrong post. Anyway yeah I was getting an 'error' trying to update but she's already on 60690.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Network error can be Sprint related unless you removed crucial Sprint update files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LORDFIRE00:
Kenny, I'm trying to download the hotspot hack for fc09 mtd, but um having problems with download link. Is there a more direct way of doing so?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I just checked it and it works fine. Scroll down the middle of the screen, the text looking download or watch are the links you want. But for you...here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32800014/EL30_FC09_hotspothack.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] LORDFIRE00:
thankyou kenny, i really appreciate it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyuga:
Thanks for making this available Kenny! Really easy to g back to stock from CWM! From CM9, I just wiped, then flashed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Always glad to help and give back!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Huh? I thought you had to Odin back to stock from CM9 or 10, maybe that's just from CM10, since you have to use the pit and repartition?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
CM10 does shrink the data partition to increase the system partition. If you have too many apps and data you may get corruption so it is best to odin and repartition but not necessary if you have only a few apps in data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Translate please? "Apps in" data = sd card? and system = phone? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
No. Apps in data are stored in your phone memory in the data partition. You have system, data, and cache partitions in your phone memory. Some apps can move some of their size to the sd card but not all and not all of their memory. When you keep adding apps you run out of phone storage space not sd storage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Ok, I noticed that some apps are easy to move without help, then some can Only be moved to SD by Geminii App Manager, but some apps can't be moved at all. The ones I can move with Geminii, sometimes move, but won't startup correctly (like Swype Beta) or won't work properly (like Voxer). Maybe that it explains why.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
People have success with apps that force other apps to sd like apps2sd or Geminii or even Titanium but I value stability and if the app doesn't have the option available in settings I don't try to force it with a third party app.

But about your original question if you are on CM10 and all your apps are fine you can go to CM9 or any MTD ROM. You will already have the smaller data partition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Yeah thanks, I'm on CM10 having come from your FC09 MTD. I have its nandroid I made after I set it up. Could I just restore that? Or would I need to flash the original mtd? Not that I plan to do it, but just in the interest of a jic scenario....I like CM10 so far after one month.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If you have basically the same number of 3rd party apps you "should" be able to restore it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, just went back to your MTD FC09 ROM from CM10 (phone would get too hot and lose too much battery when in use). I flashed a differenet shadow kernel than what you had, but my question was, or is, is the Nexus modem better than the stock FC09 modem in your opinion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You cannot use the Nexus modems on this or any TW ROMs. There is no compatible kernel to allow it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TaviRawr:
I came back to fc09 because of those reasons.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Any way to deodex proof this CRT Off anim to work on MTD FC09 Deodexed? I ran the Re-Odexer tool to convert the MTD back to Odex but got stuck in a boot loop. Then later I tried to just flash the CRT OFF anim to my deodexed MTD FC09 and got stuck in a boot loop AGAIN! Can anybody either create or convert the CRT to Deodex or make the FC09 MTD Odexed? I really would like to use this off anim (I am coming back down from CM10 where I liked that but I really like Kenny's MTD FC09...prefer an Odexed version, but...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Try to Odex The People's ROM. If that works we can de-theme it back to stock and you will have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
What do you mean? Flash TPR? I thought it was Deodexed too. Do you mean flash TPR, then run the Re-Odexing tool? How would I "de theme it to stock? That sounds good...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes, run the odexer tool on it. It already has the crt animation.

It would take a bunch of png swapping but can be done. But 15 toggle mod would still be in it. So it would need a stock-like lidroid-res too. Maybe flash the Legendary theme on it before odexing. That is pretty close to the stock greens. But first you would need to make sure it boots since you got stuck on this ROM. It's a lot of work just to get the CRT animation working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] veni85:
app restore with this flash

so i have a question since im running eg22 deodexed rom with thew eh17 rom version and kernel 2.6.35.7 can i install this and restore my app data? and im sorry but i have a stupid question difference in bml and mtd?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You should be able to keep your data but backup with a nandroid and with Titanium Backup just in case. Both are Gingerbread but I seem to remember the email app FCing on replies flashing without wiping data. Then you would just need to wipe data in the email app and set your accounts back up.

BML is the Samsung proprietary partition for the Samsung Epic. It comes this way from the factory, anytime you Odin the phone back to stock with the PIT file it puts it back that way. MTD is an open source partition layout and is set up on the Epic to give you close to 190 MB of more room in the data partition for apps. Once you convert to MTD you would need to stay with MTD ROMs and backups. If you wanted to restore a BML backup you would need to either convert it or Odin to stock first with the PIT file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
Sorry mirror is taking forever lol my computer is being lame! But I was looking into implementing mods when I ported the crt on and I noticed in toads CleanGB EL30 thread that next to each one of his "features" he has either his Github or a guide to add each mod. It might take awhile to learn but its a good start :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] scott47:
I compared the files in Deodexed-FC09 to the files in the rom I've been using (a modified version CleanGB-MTD-1.1.2).

One thing I noticed is that the files in the system/framework folder of the FC09 rom do not appear to be deodexed. Nearly each file name in this folder has a .jar version as well as an .odex version. The CleanGB version that I've been using has only the .jar version. The combined size of the two files in the FC09 version is approximately the same as the single file in the CleanGB version.

Of course there is a huge possibility that I might be confused as to what I should be seeing in these files..

Can someone please verify this for me?

Thanks for all your work on this!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
Yup i just noticed that too.. you beat me to it!! lol It just hasnt been Deodexed yet but im sure kenny will get it fixed soon ;)

EDIT: Heres a mirror but im sure it wont last long due to the above comment ^^ lol but anyways here it is for now..

FC09 Deodexed ROM - 186.41 MB
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, I'd be interested in the prerooted BML version. I run stock rooted EL30. I customize what bloatware I want removed with Titanium Backup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
I bask in the glory of knowing I contributed to the inspiration of getting Kenny on rom making...now look at all the activity because of it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Dammit dammit dammit!!! This is why you don't make ROMs late at night without a Monster. I copied the wrong folder into the zip. Have the deodexed framework on my laptop. Will fix it tonight...sorry guys. And will get a BML one going this weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikeblock:
Busy busy busy.. :)

About time you showed these guys what for, Kenny! LOL
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I got the app folder right but f'd up on the framework. No wonder the EL30 theme didn't boot. Will have it up dinner time tonight for you guys looking to mod it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Hmm, so I wonder if it was just the framework making el30 themes not work on this or will I be updating my themes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Mods? Did you say mods? Ok then. (Animal has been created folks)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I am sure EL30 themes will work when I get the right deodexed folder in....so mad at myself! I am litterally back kicking so I can kick myself in the ass....people are looking.....I better stop now....lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
HAHAHA i can only imagine what that looks like!!

Heres an idea if your looking for one...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Can you keep an odexed copy up as well, for a non power user who doesn't always remember to close running apps it runs smoother. (Not talking about me of course my cusin)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
There's a re-odex ZIP somewhere on here -- I think it's in the Sleeper ROM thread, or OP in that thread. You can re-odex the ROM yourself after you install it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Can you grab it now before I fix it? Although it is half odexed. The App directory is deodexed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Lmao, its ok man. We all make mistakes. Plus your only just starting out with your rom making adventure and you are pretty damn good at it already. Didn't expect to see you get another one out this fast. Good job my friend :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thank you. I was anxious to learn to make one myself. I wanted to get the deodexed version out there to save other devs the time and then we can have some FC09 ROMs.

OK, got the right folder in now and EL30 themes DO WORK!!!! YAY!

Uploading now to generic dev-host. Should be up in a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I want to mirror it... so I will
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thank you!

OK the one upload blew up. I sent it to dropbox for now. So give it 30 minutes to finish uploading. Other mirrors will be up around dinner time. Now I gotta get back to work...lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
Thanks Kenny for working on this. One thing I am always concerned about when trying new things is support since I only know what I read and don't seem to retain much so I read some more. You are the man when it comes to support and help so I am so excited to see you support your new endeavor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
Can anyone else confirm so I know whether to update my themes? Also do the mods work within the themes? (Ex: my themes include all the mods)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
What am I? Chopped Liver? Make one mistake and everyone doubts you..sheesh!

Just kidding. Trav, I installed my KGBlues from EL30 on this and not only do I get all the colors but the scrollable toggle status as well. My next check will be the AOSP lockscreen. This was a maintenance update so I don't think they changed much in the framework or systemui. I would like to see an updated kernel though if Samsung throws up the source for it.

One mirror up in the OP...others to follow. If you d/led this before 3:30 EDT please d/l again and reinstall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmoney7979:
hello guys...kenny in order to install this..i just gotta flash it and thats it..im on mtd..and i see the el30 themes works with this new rom..gracias
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Blue bomber and Rebirth worked for me trav, though I flashed these while I was suppose to be working, lol:rolleyes: Will continue to check things when I get a min. Want to know the same thing myself. Will let you know though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yup, that's it.

BTW looks like gps_fix is still needed...only get 3 locks. And I can't find any settings or controls for this "Sprint signal optimizer".
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Kenny...you talking about the connections optimizer? Right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes yes. Sounds like it is similiar to Juice Defender with location services.

Now I'm stumped. Not sure what I did earlier but I accidently erased. My zip for fc09, not sure which one I used. But downloaded one from drop box to do more testing( went back to aokp for a few hours) and flashed this and blue bomber and it booted but only part of the theme that shows up is dialer, contacts, mms, and a couple other apps. No systemui, settings apk, framework or anything else. Anyone else try this theme or rebirth on this?

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It was supposed to be The Rock in your phone...LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
I'm having a lot of problems with this ROM. I've tried flashing it about 3 times, wiping each time. Some programs get stuck and never start up, after which the phone freezes and sometimes reboots the GO desktop. Sometimes it reboots the phone. Sometimes the desktop becomes unresponsive for a while, too, and just vibrates at me. I went back to CleanGB for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
Damn, wrong thread

sent from your moms room! haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Are you installing it from the 3 finger boot into CWM5? Are you on CleanGB MTD? Did you also do a Factory Data wipe before flash? Try doing that wipe after the flash as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
works great for me :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Danibal79:
I had problems the first time I installed it (yes I did all the wipes and clearing of cache while I stood on my head and sang kumbaya). It would constantly be slow, getting force closes, etc. I then went ahead and tried CM9 (not my cup of tea) and AOKP (not my cup of tea either) before deciding to give this one another chance. The second time I installed it, it's running beautifully with one exception.

Does anyone know if the EL30 GPS fix will work on this ROM? I wasn't able to get more than 3 satellites to connect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Yes, I've been installing it from CWM5, and I did Factory wipe 3x, cache wipe 3x and dalvic wipe 3x.

Factory Data wipe after the flash? I never tried that for any ROM before but I'm willing to give it a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes, the gps_fix works great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Flashed this last night and looking forward to seeing how it performs today.

So far, so good. I'll be excited when there's a stripped down version with all the extra junk gone. I tried removing some of it with the uninstaller apps and wasn't able to.

A little theme-ing added won't hurt either.

UPDATE: I thought I'd flash a theme, so I tried the KGBlues- thought I read that would be good to go. Stuck on SAMSUNG boot screen. Boo. Back to default.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
I still had problems even when I wiped data/factory reset after flashing.

I uninstalled all three launchers that came with the ROM. I think they were fighting with Go Launcher, because it's behaving a lot better now. I'm guessing this solved my problems but I'll report back if I have more problems.

It does what???

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Nope, no good. I started up a bunch of apps and Stupid Zombies froze at the splash screen. The whole phone was frozen and needed a battery pull. I give up on this ROM for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Is this full stock?

I was gonna look around, but i see lidroid-res.apk in /system/framework, and the updater-script says The Peoples Rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I used the same updater script for a cheap plug and lidroid-res is there to aid themeing. It is still stock but ready for all your mods and themes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Aha ok. So, removing lidroid wont affect it negatively? Since it isnt being called on yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Exactly. It has all the wonderful bloat included. I always would look for this when new firmware would come out, then I would have a ROM to pull stock apps from if needed. So this time I seem to be first to make one probably because all the other TW devs are on sabbatical.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It steals your data... takes your information and sends it to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:

[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Alrighty :)

Planning on making a theme for EC09. Wont have any mods, but i hope it looks good lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Dont know if i should post this here, but just incase anyone is wondering. I was having problems getting some themes to fully flash on this rom. Blue Bomber, Rebirth, Shake N Bake. only parts of the themes would stick. if You want any of these themes to work on this rom(which might i add is running perfectly for me, thanks kenny) you will have to debloat some of the stuff you dont use cause there is not enough room in the system for larger themes. you can use titanium backup or another app like it that will allow you to remove system apps. then all is well. :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bighuta:
Are you restoring data via CWM after you flash? OR are you restoring App data via Titanium backup? If either one of these, that's probably why you're experiencing issues. Whenever going to an AOSP/AOKP rom to stock or going from ICS to GB and restoring data from ICS to GB, you're going to come across issues like these. I'm no expert, but from what I've read in my long time lurking in XDA, It's never recommended to restore data unless it's from the same rom or same backbone
[Epic 4G Android Development] tahlsr:
Just installed this ROM today. Just wanted to say thanks. So far so good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Of course! There is only like 7MB free in system. So Sprint ID needs to go if you want to throw on large themes. Great find Mr. Nashdogg!
[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
I have a version based off kennys with no bloat and all the mods if anyone wants it. I wanted to post it but its really not my work. I just copied and pasted certain affected files with minor xml edits but everything works great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You should definitely post it. I made this exactly for you and the other devs to save you all this step. As long as you give credit to each person for the work you use everyone is happy. That is what open source is all about...theft...uh I mean sharing...LOL We are lacking in the TW ROM department and soon everyone will be hounded by the update notification again and should have choices in FC09 ROMs.
