definately, i always wanna try your chiz:D Are you gonna post it? if not could you send me the link pretty please:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mfd744:
Thanks Kenny for this Rom If your looking for a good webhost site try this one. hxxp://w w w.000webhost.com I use them and I don't have any problems with them..
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
That's not very nice. I'm hooked on Go keyboard, but I'll have to find an alternative, I guess.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Awesome. I signed up and will probably make 2 sites to make sure I have room and bandwidth. Nice tip, thanks man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
1and1 is cheap hosting (I use it)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Is it cheaper than free?

Only in America can you get a domain name, website, email and FTP site for free! I LOVE this country!
[Epic 4G Android Development] orlzzt:
Day 2 and my phone is loving this Rom! I notice my connection is stronger and my speeds better. I'm still on EL30 modem, but I find I have improved my battery life considerably. Great job, Mr Glass! Keep 'em coming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
Just an FYI -- I upgraded to FC09 the hard way. I Odin'd back to EL30 stock, then applied the FC09 update.zip. Then I restored a bunch of apps and used Odin to install root/CWM. Everything works fine.

Whatever difference there may be besides being deodexed, there's something else different about the ROM posted here that just won't work properly on my phone. Any guess as to what that might be? I tried installing it and then deleted lidroid.apk, but that didn't fix the problem. Could it be MTD vs. BML? Just spitballin' here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Could have been a bad conversion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Actually I just thought of this, I used shadowkernel to root it. Some phones don't like shadowkernel like mine doesn't like samurai. Now you have the base rooted kernel on your phone. That is what the difference is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ca1ne:
Great work, now I can make an updated version of one of the older roms, the wife is unwilling to give it up, and waiting for hoff is no longer viable...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
LOL, except I used Shadowkernel to root my phone. It's the only one I have that I can Odin. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Then I throw in the towel...lol. I will go with bad flash or download for 200 Alex.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Glad I could help. My GF saidbi can do anything to her phone as long as it doesn't change anything ...lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, you don't have to rename the file to update.zip to flash it do you? Just copy as is to sd card and flash in CWM? Also, I'm not deodexed either, stock only, but rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I always rename it because stock recovery only had the option to flash update.zip.

If it fails then you know you have to rename it. Yes odexed is stock so will be fine. I don't know what checks this update does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
2nd Epic done

Just did the spousal phone, she had an unmolested EL30...at least until a few minutes ago.

Rooted and installed this right away, no issues whatsoever!

Did get rid of lots of that dreaded bloat, and all is well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Kenny, if i replace the standard lidroid-res with a 15 widget one, will it work? Or will the phone create a small black hole?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It could create the zombie apocalypse we keep talking about...lol! No it will not work without the systemui from a ROM it works in. It should work with the one from Sleeper.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Naddict:
Okay. Thanks again. I will leave alone for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Ok kenny, I didn't rename them, and was able to update fine. You have to choose the CWM option to install a zip from sd card (the same route you would take to flash the su.zip or the GPS_Fix.zip) rather than the update zip option, though. Gonna flash this on the wife's phone soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yeah, I thought you meant in stock recovery, not cwm. I was not aware they didn't put in the usual checks to make sure you were on full stock. Thanks for the info!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
OK, I have cleaned up the files and re-uploaded them. I took all the non-stock stuff out, deleted some left over init.d scripts and edited the OP.

I also figured out that this can be used in conjunction with modem flashables to put your phone on stock in case of a broken USB port. Instructions are in the OP for flashing the Sprint Boot ani and stock recovery. Then just delete superuser and it will fool most techs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Big thanks to qbking77 for making a video on how to root FC09 using this ROM:

[Epic 4G Android Development] austin420:
thanks all!
[Epic 4G Android Development] austin420:
so im trying this rom out for a few days, as we are doing an all weekend amusement park thing, and i need better battery life. ive been on cm9 for almost 3 months. it was amazing to wake up after 6 hours and my phone not be dead!

anyway, everything is great so far, but i am getting a green flash on the screen everytime the screen turns off. i tried a fresh download from a mirror, but am still getting it. i restored no data, just about 6 apps from titanium (app only), but it is doing it on a fresh flash even with no apps installed.

is this my issue, a rom issue, or something kernel deep?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That is voodoo color causing that. It is harmless. Marcusant has a a fix that needs to be added into the kernels. Download Voodoo Sound control app from Google Play and adjust the gamma settings in increments of 10 in either direction until it stops.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Kenny, Where are the leftover init.d scripts? I would like to delete them in Root Explorer rather than reflashing. I'm keeping the Car Home app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
In system/etc/init.d folder. I think it fixed my occasional wifi error with no loss of speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
@austin420 please share which gamma settings you end up with that keeps away the green flash. Mine on The People's ROM are

-27

-34

-40
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Ok, I found it, but there are alot of files in there. Which ones specifically did you delete?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I deleted all 12 scripts. None are needed. It is better to have a blank slate there if you want to install a supercharger or any other tweak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
This ROM has come in pretty handy , more than a few times ;)

​
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
And if you want to add the Hotspot hack here it is. This is still Necrosan's work. Mount system in cwm if on MTD before flashing.

[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I delete superuser but it keeps coming back every reboot. Trying to get this phone as stock as possible for taking it into Sprint tomorrow morning due to a broken USB port.

BTW, awesome work on this rom as its as close to stock as I can possibly get.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
Thanks for making this rom - I flashed it but noticed:

1.) The version of Google talk that has A/V working I usually flash after an upgrade no longer works. Does anyone have a working A/V enabled Google talk that is compatible with this FC09 rom?

2.) Before flashing this, I had about 60MBs free in my /data, but after flashing Android started complaining becayse I had 20MBs free - why would flashing this reduce my free /data by almost 40MBs?

I reverted back to my nandroid of EC30, but I would like to try this rom again if I can get the above two issues addressed. Thanks for any help!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It has ALL the bloat in this. Delete some system apps. FC09 had more junk in it. Just find the gtalk with video and push it to system. This is a stock ROM and did not have gtalk with video. The bloat apps listed at the bottom of the first post of The People's ROM has the gtalk with video.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Using Titanium backup or root explorer delete talk.apk from your system\app directory then flash this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
Please excuse my ignorance, but why would removing the bloat apps in /system affect /data? Also, again, I don't understand why my stock EL30 would lose 40MBs in /data when I thought this rom was putting files in /system? Thanks for the Gtalk link, and enlightening me. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Nothing is flashed to data partition in this ROM. Look in the zip. Only system in there. My guess is you have data duplicating or corrupting. Wipe data and advance restore from nandroid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I've had a bad nandroid do this once. It restored data "successfully" but I had like half of the apps installed afterwards, yet my /data was full.

~E.R.A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
I thought this was a great idea, but the same result - when I did an advanced nandroid data only restore while on FC09, it again left me with only 20MBs free (CWM 5.0.2.7). I did a full nandroid restore back to EL30 again, and I had 50+MBs free. I am at a loss now. :-/
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Me too unless when you boot one of the stock apps is setting up caches in the data partition. Move to MTD and gain almost 200MB of space. I noticed Sprint moved some things into a link that loads when you click it like Asphalt and something else. That may be what's cacheing. Why not try The People's ROM 2.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] alarmmec:
One problem I am having, use of task manager sends me into a reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
Finally got around to doing this. Made a nandroid backup, and installed the MTD version of this rom, converting me from BML. I then converted my backup by renaming all references from rfs in the nandroid folder & md5 to yaffs2. Doing an advanced restore got me back to where I was with around 170MBs free in my /data - awesome. I then finished up by flashing the Roboto font, removing Talk.apk from /system/app and flashing the zip you posted a few up, flashing the GPS fix, and finally flashing my own CRT off animation. Everything is excellent - thanks for the MTD rom and advice! I still am a fan of straight up stock with a few changes, and the community still caters to my tastes! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
I just noticed this ROM has the 2.6.35.7-Shadow-EL30-MTD+v3.0+OC kernel rather than an FC09 based kernel. Is there a more up to date kernel you'd recommend flashing? Maybe like this one?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668491
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes. He just put that out. There have been no FC09 kernels until very recently. The source was released just a few weeks ago. There is not any major differences with the FC09 kernel. However if you depend on the LED notifications you may want to wait until Bbelos fixes it since Samsung screwed up the calls in the sourcee. You could also grab the Samurai FC09 kernel from the OP of The People's ROM V2.2 that has LED working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Y U NO include the one I gave you with the stock kernel name?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I....um....misplaced it......lol.

Where is my TWNyan?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Orion78:
Anyone find a way to mute the camera with this rom. Keep getting "There is a problem parsing the package" when trying to install one
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is a silent camera flashable in Apps subforum I think.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
Use this one with this rom:

crazy things happening..... after flash

Has anyone else experienced this??

4G will randomly enable itself...

wifi will randomly enable itself....

ASOP slider will randomly disappear...

Bluetooth will randomly enable itself when I am on a call

or even worst... I plug in the phone on a low battery in a call and the phone backgrounds the call and wont let me pull up the notification screen to foreground it.... Keeps blacking out the screen.

This didn't start happening until I flashed this rom.

Which I did a Dalvik and cache erase 3 times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Nope. Sounds like a bad flash/download. Do a clean install wiping data, cache and dalvik. Restore apps from the market. When it boots, uncheck the Sprint Optimizer box if you do not want it to search for wifi or 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fireheadman:
texts emails in call log?

I have tried flashing the LogsProvider.apk that was previously used in the EL30 version ROMS, which worked then....

WHen I do this for the FC09 Roms, it causes a force close on the Phone.... So for now I have a ton of SMS/Email logs in my Call Log. Does anyone have an updated zip file or perhaps another version I can use to cure this issue?

I was able to solve the 4G/Wifi issue, thanks to those that responded on that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
That should have worked. Here flash this one:
[Epic 4G Android Development] idelgado:
Hi guys, I have a question.

I have this installed, Works fantastic but sometimes at reboot I get the samsung splash screen and sometimes I get a girl killing off zombies.

How can I get rid of the samsung splash screen and keep only the awesome zombie apocalypse?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Ok first off....link to this zombie apocalypse bootani. Second is it Samsung that you need to get rid of or the stock Sprint bootani?
[Epic 4G Android Development] idelgado:
See that's the thing, I never installed a boot ani. I assumed it was built into the pre-rooted FC09.

What happens is that most of the time when I reboot my phone I get the Samsung screen (white letters) followed by the sprint splash.

but every once in a while I get the samsung screen followed by the zombie apocalypse.

It starts out with a grave zooming in, then a zombie coming out of the grave.

panning over to the girl who pulls out a gun and starts shooting at the zombie, pans back to the zombie and stops because now the phone is booting.

It is all black background with white drawings. Very cool.

I had made the assumption that you Kenny had put it in

so i am new to rooting on this device. I flashed cm9 and it worked great except i the autorotate had issues. I tried to flash this to fix that issue and i could not get it to boot. I wiped everything and it still wont get pass the samsung boot logo. I waited about 8 minutes and it still didnt boot. Any ideas?

Originallay i tried nandroid backing up both the original touchwiz rooted gingerbread rom, but it failed on "formatting system". my cm9 backup also failed there too. please help. right now i can't boot anything. I'm going to attemp to reflash cm9

Edit: it wont let me do that either. says "assert failed" as well as a bunch of other stuff when flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks guys...OK to get rid of the Sprint boot ani that is competing use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and go on your phone and in system\media delete bootani.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. Also delete poweron.wav in system\etc to get rid of boot sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
You probably grabbed the BML one by mistake. CM9 is on the MTD partition map so once on that you need everything MTD. So try and download and flash the MTD version of this ROM. If that still won't boot then you will need to Odin back to stock, root and start over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Smac7:
k thanks. didn't know about that. my htc's never dealt with this type of stuff. i already reverted back to stock and rerooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] idelgado:

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Don't forget to make system r/w.

[Epic 4G Android Development] vobguy:
I am in a bit of a unique position at the moment, so a bit of preamble may help.

I wasn't confident doing double video method without any issues. My connection to my phone via USB is wonky at times, I have gone through several cables and still it fails intermittently. So I never went to GB. In fact, every 10 minutes or so it pops up the "Install Update" nag message. Im so used to closing it out it is not even annoying now.

My rooted Epic 4G on Froyo.EC05 did mostly what I needed it to do (including connect to the IPSec VPN at work, in emergencies).

But now that I used Mobile Odin (which I realize is not available for the Epic 4g) to upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 for my P6210, I can use the built in VPN to connect to work. So since I no longer needed to keep the root on my phone for VPN, I thought about upgrading.

Still, though, I like the idea of having root for other purposes. I found great new ROM when I renewed my search, and found the updated video instructions that seem more streamlined. Which leads me to my question:

Can this be used to go from a rooted Froyo.EC05 that has SuperUser installed? Should I uninstall SuperUser first? Should I do something about the queued update ?

Or maybe I should just wait a month or two for when I get a new phone, then it won't matter much if I brick this one...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Update your CWM to 5.0.2.7 and flash. All should be well. Make a backup after updating CWM and before flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Marcusant's stock FC09 MTD kernel has been added to the OP in case you are stuck on MTD and the Sprint tech is a jerk in your area. Make sure to thank Marcus for this when you see him.
[Epic 4G Android Development] keekah:
So I am planning on taking my phone to the Sprint store today because I can't hear from the earpiece.

I have this rom installed but I deleted a bunch of stock bloat apps that I never use or don't want. Can I go through cwm without wiping data and just flash this rom again to get those apps back and have everything else remain the same?

I plan on flashing the stock kernel as well afterwards. Also, would I need to install the stock boot ani? I thought it came on this rom already.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes. Just reflash. If you don't see and hear the stock bootani it is in the op if you need it.

Anyone else have an issue with the Notification light blinking red when the phones not in use? For some reason when my phone is not being used the red LED with come on for a few seconds, then turn off for about 40 seconds and come back on.. It does it over and over. " Charger not Plugged in "

I checked all messages, logs, missed calls etc and everything is clear so it cant be a missed notification.. Any idea whats up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I guess you also checked email app, gmail, yahoo, voicemail,facebook....all that crap too? You should try a clean install then without restoring any data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Orion78:
yep checked it all, ill try a clean install..
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Hey Kenny, I'm currently on your BML prerooted FC09. I think I want to flash the MTD version so it will be easier going back and forth from here to some CM 9 or 10 ROMs (probably just 10). Do you just put the file on the SD and flash thru CWM or do I need to Odin it to FC09 MTD?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Backup first of course with cwm and titanium then just what you said , copy to Sd and flash with cwm 5.027 or higher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] slybarman:
Just a heads-up re official CM10 and other ROMs (going back and forth):

WARNING: If you are not already on an official CM10 build, this will wipe your data due to a resizing of the mtd partitions. If you wish to go back to another ROM, you will need to ODIN back to stock.​
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Thanks Sly. CM10 is an exception since they had to adjust the partition size for the ROM to fit. You should be fine with CM9 though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brett701:
Now what do i do?

Ive followed this video from qbking. Now what. I have the samsung epic 4g from spring and its rooted now. fc09 and i did the video exactly as he says. How do i get the best version of android on here? Do i have to unroot if i do anything? I think possibly clockwork mod is on here? i'm not really sure bc/ it looks the same as before. I know i have superuser on it. Thanks for any direction.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
If you have the definition of "best" ...

Just look around the forum, use search. If you do FC09 in the way described in the post then you have ClockworkMod Recovery already. Just check out other posts related to ROMs in this section, choose wisely ;)

Anyway, mah personal favorite is still CM7 (Android 2.3.7), but CM9 (4.0.4) and even CM10 (4.1.1, latest) are out there so you should have a go yourself. Happy flashing dude!

Easy way to check is to download Root Checker Basic in the play store. And if you're looking for JB, check out CM10.

I don't know if i unroot anything and i dont even know what cm9 means? I don't know if i've flashed or if i have a new rom or what is up. I know that i am rooted and thats about it. I don't know the next steps and what i can and can't do.

Model number is sph-dh700

firmware version is 2.3.6

baseband version is s:d700.0.55.fc09

kernel version is 2.6.35.7

I would like to be able to have

wifi tether

a version that has improved multitasking when i press and hold the home button

"google apps" or "google chrome" like on the s3 and like on the iphone 4s. I can't get that with what i have.

Please any help is greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Read the first post of each ROM to see if it has what you want. Sounds like you need CM9 or CM10 to get what you want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brett701:
Do i have cm9?

If i don't, do i need to unroot to get cm9?
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If you flashed this, no. You have to download and Flash CM9. You will probably need to flash the MTD version of this ROM first.
