During testing, with so many leaks, I have flashed ICS over GB using the OneClick's I put together about 60 times now w/o issues. Anytime you flash you take a risk, but IMO it is pretty low with the OneClick's unless you pull the cable or have a power outage, and even then you can often recover.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinpaul:
it just goes black, i push power button and nothing, trying the first link, fresh install and see how that goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Hate to be that guy, but can anyone that has flashed this tell me if the "Contacts app" is opening and functioning normal. And if the groups are syncing. I'm away from my computer now so I can't flash, but am anxious to know. I doubt it is fixed.

On FD02 and lower, the contacts app with force close or will hang and become unresponsive. Groups also don't sync properly.

I should say, anyone with >1000 contacts that has flashed FD05.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
How are you restoring your contacts? Titanium or logging into your Google Acct?

Sometimes when I restore contacts from older releases to ICS releases using Titanium I get inconsistent behavior with Contacts like you describe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Oh im well aware lol. It was 520 for me :-(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Just flashed the no data version over my FD02 install using mobile odin. Will update with any differences I noticed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
Thanks was just making sure =D thought i read they werent working lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Keep in mind on CDMA, Mobile ODIN doesn't flash modems. Not sure if that is important to you or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Just through El Goog. It's been this way on FC22, 24 and FD02. Starting fresh by reset user data version with reformats of internal USB storage and SD card too.

Anything else I should try?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The only other thing I can suggest if you are using custom fields or have formatted your phone #s in a non-standard way, that has caused me issues in the past.

BTW are you saying it was working on ICS prior to FC22?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Already had 05 modem but good to know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
No. they haven't worked with any ICS build. I went from EL29 to FC22, then 24, then FD02.

Others have said that they were getting Force Closes with the contacts app. I don't have any funny formatting going on. I also elected to not sync Facebook, Twitter, G+, etc. it still didn't work. I've tried each one of those individually and I still get the same issues. I'll try to clear some caches....again.

I also told KC_exactly about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
So what happens if you have no contacts, then just enter a few contacts by hand manually without logging into your Google Acct? Have you tried exporting contacts to .vcf and importing? Would be nice to narrow down the cause a little further. Maybe it is as you suspect and just having a lot of contacts is causing issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Good things to try. I'll flash FD05 and give a few of those things a shot to see if I can narrow it down.

[I may not have explicitly said it, but on GGB EL29 all contacts worked great in the contacts app and all groups synced]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I have in the neighborhood of 10,000 contacts. I'm on FD02 and haven't had any FC's with contacts. Try to clear data in contacts app.

.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
That's good to know. I tried clearing data in contacts to no avail. I just finished the FD05 ODIN and its booting up. Fingers crossed that something might work.

A couple questions:

Do you have Facebook, G+ or twitter contacts linked? If yes, which ones.

Are you using the TWlauncher or Launcher?

update 1:

So it seems to be working now. All I did was flash FD05 (reset user data). Then before I linked my google account, I went into Contacts App....entered a few contacts to make sure it worked. Also cleared the pop up message about swiping left and right for calls or messages. Then went in and set up my google account. Then I didn't touch it for about 5 minutes.

All my groups are there. All my contacts are there and it seems as though the Contacts App works.

I'm going to go through and sync my G+ contacts first, etc. Not sure why they were borked on FD02 and lower.

Also, it appears that in FD05 the Stock messages app has filtered out email addresses when you select groups. That's very nice.

Update 2:

Adding the G+ contact syncing borks the Contacts app. Have to reflash FD05 to get it back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
Hey RainMotorsports your mirror2 is absolutely flying for me! I've got a 25mbps connection and grabbed the files off your mirror in under 2 minutes! And thanks once again sfhub for putting this together. You work is very much appreciated!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Optimal Carnage:
I noticed this with the last leak I have two superuser apps and they seem to conflict each other they both continuously grant each other permissions lol Amy idea what to do? I was going to remove the original SU from system apps but I wasn't sure if that would cause any problems. I'm not sure where the new SU is coming from or if it's any better, I'm used to three old one with the Android icon not the # symbol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] auau465121:
That's exactly the reason im in gingerbread all ics roms my phone does that exact samething
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] auau465121:
A work around for contacts I found is to just down load a contact app from the market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I don't use G+ or Twitter and I don't sync FB contacts. As a matter of fact, I uninstall all sns apk's. They are huge energy hogs. I don't use the stock msging app, email, or gmail. I use handcent and k-9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
downgrade the radio or the whole rom? im running fd02 rom/kernel with fd05 modem and gps locks fast, faster than fc18(was the best), and now I have the 4g speed of fc18 and the gps lock of fd02 all in fd05 modem..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Well after 5 different flashes, I have found that the contact app just goes wonky after I install G+ app....even if I don't pick sync contacts. It might just all be coincidence, but clearly something is going wrong with the contact syncing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Glad you like it. Results vary like you I have a 25 Mbps connection and being halfway across the country from my server i pull files from it just like you do. But its not going to serve everyone well. I dunno how the folks in Cali are doing but i speed test to those locations horribly. Servers throttled to 1 Gbps out of the data center reaching most places to atleast 100 Mbps. Just server sfhub its not under enough load to slow down just yet. But I am fixing to take on someone that might change that a little.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Any way to mobile odin this using just my phone? No computer nearby.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Youd need to extract the tar from the second post but that sorta needs a pc. I will upload the tar for you if you like gimme a minute.

.....servers not liking the files haha there up and all just cant link them atm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Read the "Android" instructions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I had to zip them but that shouldnt be a problem for you. I will keep them up until your done. Usual risks of mobile odin apply so don't blame me and always md5 check through mobile odin.

Normal - http://sfhub.rainmotorsports.net/temp/SPH-D710.FD05_CL355991_ROOTED_PDA.tar.zip

No Data -http://sfhub.rainmotorsports.net/temp/SPH-D710.FD05_CL355991_ROOTED_NODATA_PDA.tar.zip

Oops lol should i pull the files now or let him use them that way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Which contacts app do you use?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
BTW Mobile ODIN can accept the ODIN OneClick format (from the first post) directly. Just need to unpack the 7zip self extractor, either on Windows by double-clicking the file or on Android using ZArchiver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
modified fc05 kernel

anyone know how to modify the fc05 kernel like calk? I know he's not going 2 post the rom because it doesn't fix the notification bug but, It would be great if we could get a fc05 modded kernel to have mass storage by default, init.d support and it has an unsecured stock recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Where is this? I thought it might be the individual odin components but it says even those are bundled with the 7zip extractor and like I said, no computer nearby. And thanks rainmotorsports for the zip files, yes I understand the risks.

Edit: will try Zarchiver, thanks sfhub

Edit2: I've dl'ed the files rainmotorsportsmso guess you can pull them lol. Thanks man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is in the first post in section 2.

7zip is like "zip" but compresses better and is an open format.

Mobile ODIN accepts the *-OneClick.exe files directly.

The *-OneClick.exe files are large so I compress them using 7zip and make them self-extractors so they are easy to unpack. These are named *-oc-sfx.exe. These self-extractors have a dual purpose. They can extract themselves just by double-clicking in windows or they can serve as standard 7zip archives which can be fed into a archive program to unpack.

If you download the *-oc-sfx.exe 7zip self extractor file on your phone, then feed that to ZArchiver (on your phone), it will unpack the file and produce a *-OneClick.exe file. This file can be read directly by Mobile ODIN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Basically you just need an environment to repack the kernel. Mass storage is a change to default.prop. unsecured stock recovery includes the older recovery. init.d a script startup addition.

If you want USB mass storage, with stock kernel, just use Auto Root Option E and enable USB mass storage. The other ones I usually use CWM-Rogue.

If you want you can just take the zImage from Calk's zip, dump it in the copy2sd/000root directory of Auto Root and choose to install generic zImage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asafegous:
Modem.bin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is available in ODIN format in the 2nd post's reference section.

If you need it in CWM format, it is in my signature.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I didn't know that USB option was in the auto root package. I haven't looked at it for awhile. Nice work. Admiral: I answered your pm. Sfhub is also suggesting using Calkulin's modified FD02 kernel to get the features you want. It should work fine. You can use the method he described which has worked well for me, or use Odin or Mobile Odin to flash another kernel with CWM then flash the zip I put together with Calkulin's FD02 kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bleyten:
The solution I used to resolve this problem, which was suggest by another XDA member, was... after flashing the ROM run the Contacts app and let it run through the tutorial before turning on Account sync. Worked perfectly for me!

It might work if you just use the NO DATA OC but I can't remember if I did a full install again after I was told the solution. I do know that once I resolved the problem I have been able to use the NO DATA OC installs without the problem recurring again.

Hope this helps!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
so, is there anything I can't flash this over?

I have been playing around a bit with codename/aokp, and as fun as they are, some missing features and a few other weirdness are making me think about a stock again...

corrently running codename 0403 nightly...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qbking77:
You can flash it over anything.

I had to go back to EL29, but I'm using the FD05 modem. EL29 is pretty flawless this way. But GOD is it sucky compared to the beauty of ICS. I couldn't figure out the issues with contacts and had to give up.

Hopefully Sammy and Sprint get the kinks worked out soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinpaul:
Which is the best recovery everyone is using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bleyten:
I posted a solution that worked for me a few replies up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Calk's fd02 mod that allows a2sd and to flash unsigned zip files, no random reboots with this kernel and running FD05 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Can someone confirm if the copy/select function has been fixed with this build? I'm on FD02 and it only gives you the point that you press down on instead of a beginning and an end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
Has any tried to sync an Exchange account yet? Thats the only thing keeping me from flashing. Every ICS build I have tried magically removes my Exchange accounts shortly after I get them added and synced.

Bummer....notification bug still there for me......I was excited because this is one of the first official ICS leaks I've used in a while, coming from CM9 and AOKP. Might have to go back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
In case you weren't aware, people have said you can avoid the notification bug by allowing the phone app to exit by itself and not using Home or Back to exit it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Same notification bug issue still grr
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hamish26:
That confuses me. How exactly does the phone app exit by itself? How do you get to other apps without using home or back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
If you press END it ends the call and stays on the dialer screen. After a few seconds it exits and goes to call logs. After that supposedly the notifications are restored and you can do what you want.

Bigtoysrock posted this link on Mijjah's thread and I wanted to pass it along. True Darknight's download page has a tar file for the FD02 kernel repack with CWM. I haven't flashed it but I assume it's the same as the zip I posted with default USB and apps to sd. Eliminates the extra step to go from stock kernel to the FD02 repack.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I assume you're using the OneClick? Modems shouldn't take any more than a few minutes to flash.

Have you tried a different cable/usb port on your computer? Sometimes that can make a difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] I2izzo:
Yes using the oneclick method, i knew modem couldnt be 10 minutes long... lol I am going to try and use a different cable and port and see what happens... hopefully im up and running. If not i guess i can always flash the rom+ root and Kernel seperatly and not worry about the modem... thanks for the advice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
"Accounts"? As in you sync to multiple Exchange accounts?

I am synced to an Exchange 2007 server right now, push working as it should. 400+ contacts and calendar are looking good. I did a full wipe and then flashed the FD05.

I did notice the new mail notification stayed on until I actually looked at email, then msgs I read/deleted on the PC were updated on the handheld.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Are your account settings surviving a reboot. I don't use exchange but I'm pretty sure that was an issue from what I've read.

OK fellows I'm picking up a white epic4gt tomorrow, my question is do I need to root in order to install this via Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Nope. This will install a pre-rooted rom with stock recovery and no CWM. There are different ways to get CWM. You can use sfhub's excellent auto root package to add it or use Odin to flash a custom kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syphex:
Yes I have a work exchange and a home exchange account. I was on fd02 and I was only on it for about 2 hours when I went to check my email and found both accounts gone. I started over 3 times before I gave up and flashed back to an old back up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Haven't tried it with multiple Exchange accounts, but a single one holds just fine. Rebooted twice just to see if anything breaks. Notta. Still solid and working fine.

If you have a weird issue, what the heck, flash it clean and see if you can reproduce it. You definitely want to keep reporting on this bug if it will affect you once the builds go final.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I'm getting NO GPS on FD05. FD02 was slow to lock, now I got nothin'

Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
Absolutely no GPS issues here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I was afraid of that. This is very similar to a problem I had with my last E4GT - the GPS just seemed to...fade away...

I replaced the device, GPS was just stellar. I've flashed a few versions of this series of ICS ROMS (no data), and I watch it fritter away until it doesn't work anymore. Guess I'll do a total (f'in) wipe and see if it gets better.

BTW - battery life on FD05 has also been horrific. I've seen 39% drain per hour with moderate use. My average is about 12% per hour drain. Not great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
Battery life is also pretty good here. You might have other issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Try a different modem, FD02 was bad for me but FC24 worked great. This one is good to go so far.

If anybody has the link to that Sprint TV that works please send it over
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Some units have hardware antenna issues that develop over time. There are also software GPS issues with certain releases.

This gets confusing for people trying to figure out the cause.

The software issue is related to the GPSd getting into a weird state on not locking.

The hardware issue is related to an antenna problem that develops over time especially if your phone got jarred or dropped.

If most other people are not having GPS issues with a release but you are, despite doing all the workarounds, you might have the hardware issue.

I think you nailed it here. I suspected some users are having antenna issues because they have had problems with every build. I had to get the lock before flashing on the first 2 leaks but it's been fine for me ever since.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I DID have the hardware issue (I believe) with my old device. However, with the replacement, it was instant lock. Only after flashing the last 2 ROMS (and not dropping my device!) have I seen the GPS poop out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
I've been having better luck with FD05 then FD02 but it can take seconds to a couple of minutes to get a lock after long periods of being dormant. Try Telenav it seems to work better at times then G Maps to get a lock. Once its locked then I can re-lock very quickly again, and again until its not being used for awhile. The GPS was always iffy on this phone for me but better in ICS then GB. It's still not strong enough to get a lock indoors at places which is what I miss with my HTC Evo....I hope the G3 has a better signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rinzler:
Clockword Mod anybody? Does the autoroot package have the FD05 with cwm yet?

Is it okay to flash FC18 bin through odin on this setup, i usually flash all the modems thru CMW, but i rather keep this setup if i can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rinzler:
I wont even flash these updates unless i can get CWM...so i can wipe davlik caches & battery stats.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Assuming FC18 bin means FC18 modem.bin, yes you can just flash the FC18 modem.

Look in the 2nd post (of the FC18 ODIN OneClick thread), see this post for list of ODIN OneClick threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869

There is an entry for just the modem. It will give you a tar.md5 file you can flash in the *PDA* slot. All the individual components there (modem, kernel, ROM) are structured to flash in the PDA slot to reduce confusion. (If you had a modem.bin file, rather than .tar.md5, it would flash in the PHONE slot)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
I found happiness. Went back to FD02, deleted cache, Dalvik, and batt stats. Loaded FD05 back up, and now life is again good. GPS locks almost instantly, battery life is back to normal, etc.

I'm with the other guys - not having CWM is a handicap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Do you mean not being able to rely on ICS CWM in general or you are just waiting for a FD05-CWM repack?

If the latter, just install the FD02+CWM-Rogue from the Auto Root thread. It will work fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lexvdub1:
Sir, Thank you very much. I was definitely talking about the modem.

Only one difference than what you told me to do, I watched QBking's Odin modem install and he installed the modem thru the *PHONE* slot and I also used the phone slot, it installed fine.

Does it make a difference? I tested the speeds and my 4G is back to normal.
