Wow rain in Florida all this week and raining leaks on xda.

Thanks gonna flash and check it out.

They must be having a though time

Getting the room in a final state.

With so many leaks just makes me wonder.

I keep asking this and I'm sorry about repeat offending Lol.

But how do i install CWM while keeping the rooted FD19 Kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
You don't. The FD19 kernel would need to repacked with CWM first. You can use an older kernel though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rinzler:
Ah ok.. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Thanks just downloaded will give her a try tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Docarut:
SF-thanks for giving us purpose in life-Flash! Seriously, much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Thats what the "no data" versions are for. ;)

I have now successfully gone from fd05 → fd 10 → fc 16 → fd 19 (just to see if I could)... no wipe, no app reinstall, no recovery, no TB or other kind of restore. everything intact and working. (190+ apps) I am not claiming this should be a typical experience, but can't see why not.

sfhub, I love you, in the way only a nerd loves another nerd. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
That is the way I always did. But some point of time, my notification light stopped working. I mean it's not blinking after email or message arrival. So, I had to wipe all and fresh install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For me sometimes the notification light becomes delayed, making me initially think it isn't working, but it does start pulsing eventually. It always just fixes itself eventually so I didn't really worry about it.

If it completely shuts down for you, try the workaround for the sound bug to see if it resets the notification light also. (ie call a #, press "end" to hang up, then don't touch "back" or "home" until it exits the call status by itself and goes to the dialpad)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rinzler:
Anybody willing to do a repack of this kernel with cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
One of us should just call Sprint and let them know we have been testing all there "leaked" builds and the only problem we can find is the notification sounds. We should demand that their next leak addresses this issue! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itsallsubliminal:
This happened to me after flashing a modem. I found that wiping cache and dalvik in cwm then reflashing the modem solved it. Maybe just wiping the 2 caches will do it alone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Thanks for helping us stay so up to date on these leaks. :)

I'm sure this has been asked and answered a gazillion times but does it matter if I forgot to uncheck F.Reset Time when I odin'd the kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
This just had to be asked:

How is the modem performing? lower ping? faster throughput?

Bueller?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
Any way to get back the screen-off animation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
I only flashed the modem to CM9.

I am currently in a poor signal area, but I did notice a slight increase in download speed and a slight decrease in upload.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isaac2k10:
either sprint/samsung don't know about the notification bug or they can't reproduce it to fix it because like it's been said it's only happens on some phones i've never had the notification bug
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Calk said that in the previous post in this thread Samsung is working on this bug and would be fixed in next build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
I'm in an poor signal area and speed test app is guving readings that are below 100kb yet I can loading a desktop YouTube homepage is about five seconds
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't think he actually said it would be fixed in the "next" build, but they are working on it so there should be some resolution soon (it might be the next build, might not)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swamp goblin:
Coming from the nexus s 4g, these leaks are awesome.. On the ns4g we had one leak for the official 4.0.4, and this phone has had about 30...

Samsung is finally learning how to work out all of the bugs asap, let consumers be the testers :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I agree. I stayed on FC15 for a month and when I moved to FD16 I could really see some improvement.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manup456:
Anyone having glitches playing any games? I tried a few diff games and they all have this issue so I know it must be coming from the build. This has been like this since FD16 from what I have noticed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Wishful thinking... but flawed logic.

Just because a device has one leaked rom and another device has 30 leaked roms doesn't mean it's a policy change. It's more likely that someone on the inside (of who we are very grateful for!) is able to pull the nightly builds. I'd rather see incremental progress with fewer leaks than no progress with many builds. There really isn't that much difference between FD10, FD16, FD19, etc. If we received one update for every 4 or 5 then we'd probably see more devs working on tweaking things. It's disheartening to a dev to tweak a ROM one night and see a new leak the next.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Do I need to be rooted in order to install this? Can you install this from an unrooted EL29 firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
No, yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The way things went down, the notification bug likely would not have been caught with just a single leak.

There are pros and cons of having too many and too few leaks.

Personally I prefer having more than less. I can always choose to ignore too many but I can't conjure up new releases if I'm getting too few.

I agree with you on the fact that it might be a little frustrating to finish something only to be tasked with doing it all over again.. but some devs actually do the dev stuff cause they like and want to.. but I definitely see the frustrating aspect of having so many frequent builds leaked.. but I still would prefer more vs less.

I say once the notification bug is fixed for sure then we will see a lot more tweaking and all that good stuff. Calk isn't updating or anything till that happens. Or at least that's the last I heard about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Thanks. Is there an easy instructional video/write up to show me how to do this from unrooted version? I've got USB Debugging checked, anything else on the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Videos and instructions are in the first post. Just read carefully. Everything is there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hotspace:
See post 1...under instructions. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I think I was just alluding to the fact that too many can be a problem too. I enjoy all the releases and the hopefulness that each one brings to fixing bug X or adding enhancement Y. What constitutes as "too often" is different for each person. Some would like leaks daily and others would prefer a weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly leak.

The way you package up the tar files makes it incredibly easy to move from one version to the next without hassle, even easier (and safer!) than flashing a ROM through Recovery. That's totally awesome and I'm thankful for that.

I'd always side on having too many than never having a leak. Without these leaks we'd have no ICS to play with, even CM9 is reliant on the ICS leaks. I'm rocking stock FD19 and my battery for some reason is draining only 1/2 as much as it was yesterday. It could also be the PRL I put on last night trying to improve radio signal, but one day is never enough to start saying "battery life rocks on this".

Let the leaks continue "leaking" in. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rob97ss:
Not sure if anyone notice, but Facebook pics synced with out using Haxsync!!!

Bobby O'S Epic Touch....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swamp goblin:
I see now where my thinking contradicted itself, so I would like to rephrase it.. I understand that more leaks aren't necessarily better, its just nice to see that samsung is working on it.. ICS was released around last november, and we had gotten one leak about 2 weeks before the OTA.. the ota for ns4g dropped about a week ago.. All I was saying is that I like seeing the work progressing and appreciate sfhub for providing the leaks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I have a NS4G too and it kind of burned me not to have official support, but with all the great ICS roms on XDA, I was still a happy camper. Leaks are a good thing, no doubt about that.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fargond71:
Want to start of by saying thank you to sf hub. Wonderful job on getting us the leaks. Been loving this since I got it on my phone.

On to business, don't know if this its how it's supposed to be but i booted into recovery and it gave the option to update from external storage. Is this new or had i not seen it before? It saw the contents of my sd card. With all the bricks flying around here i did not attempt to flash anything. But now I'm curious if out will work to flash other stuff.

Curiosity liked the cart and will probably be the death of me too...lol

Stupid Swype...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Stock recovery on android has the option to flash update.zips and when you go looking for one in recovery you will see the contents of your memory card. Though there is nothing you are needing to flash here. Most things wont even work on stock recovery its mean for official signed files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Noob question: if I want to flash this with Mobile Odin what slot do I put it in? I would guess KERNEL slot then flash but I just want to make sure.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Take the oc-sfx.exe from the first post. Either double-click on windows or use ZArchiver on android to UNPACK the file to get the OneClick.exe file.

You should Open File the OneClick.exe file in Mobile ODIN.

Keep in mind, Mobile ODIN will not flash modems on CDMA phones. Has nothing to do with OneClick, it is a Mobile ODIN issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Wish they would make up their mind and leave that feature alone from here on out. Bring back the pic upload retry option as well. I had that on the WinMo version of the app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Its not about them leaving the feature alone. The syncing options didn't comply with Googles data policy so they removed it.

It was originally removed in gingerbread for this reason. You could sync fb contacts but you couldn't do anything with that data, like export it out if your contact list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdogg10791:
All I have to say is the leaks keep getting better they must be real close to final this rom tks to all the people who make this posible
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Oh boy. So we can expect more non-compliance shenanigans in the client? I'm a minimalist and would really rather not have to install any extra fb sync apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Google plus was breaking contacts too. It's that fixed also?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
I rooted but am still on the stock el29.. In order to flash this rom do I act as if I'm Odin'ing or do I have to cwm and wipe then flash? Sorry if its a stupid question, just wanna be sure I don't jam my phone up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
The files here are all flashed through ODIN.

I dont use facebook, so Im not sure if this is something Samsung added back in for gingerbread or not, or whether they will enable it in ICS.

If not, it should still be achievable through some contact provider changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
So unpack and Odin like I did when I rooted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Yes. If you use a one click extracting will extract a one click executable where you can just run that, plug your phone in, start it, and youre good to go.

Otherwise, the individual packages are all flashed through the PDA slot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Great thanks. Last question, what's the advantage of flashing this as opposed to say caulks ics ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
I too need to know this answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Im trying to flash this, and the Odin seems the be frozen. Any help guys. I dont wanna jam my phone up.

edt: Nevermind, i know what i was doing wrong. I was forgetting to vol down + power button first
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Calkulin adds his own modifications / slight theming to his roms. Your best bet would just be to read changelogs and see if its something that interests you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Thanks. I'm liking this rom so far, my first experience with ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] inkedupdave:
Full screen dialer?

does this release, or any other rod/tar have the TRUE ics full screen dialer? dont tell me to download the app. i just dont want to download any more roms, without the full screen ics dialer. im sick of these tiny thumb size pictures
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The only thing Samsung has been including is the stock ICS launcher (as a dormant optoin). Everything else is Samsung TouchWiz style. I doubt that will be changing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
I can confirm that *so far* they have fixed the contact bug.

I was running EL29 and did the NODATA upgrade to FD19. Then logged into my G+, Facebook and synced all contacts. The groups were there just fine and the app moves very quickly. I feel Samsung fixed something with contacts storage.

Also, the settings menus will rotate to landscape? Never saw that before I can't say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Spoke too soon. Switched to Launcher for default and then contacts app is locked up.

Edit: should have added that you can unlock the app and your groups by clearing caches/data in the Contacts Storage app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Is there any reason why the ics dialer is not in this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The dialer that Samsung put in this is in this and that is that. It is a touchwiz firmware.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
:confused::confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
I'll start clean with the next leak and see what the fb app does for it. 3rd party app is doing the contacts sync for now. Would love to ditch it.

Im getting less of a battery life than i did on the stock GB rom. Not a major drop, but a significant drop. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Battery life is so subjective that what you're asking for is impossible for anyone to answer. Maybe you can be more specific as to which apps are sucking too much battery, maybe some screenshots of your usage, maybe a little investigation on your part to see if there are wakelocks. Just stating "my battery life is poor" will get you nowhere. Otherwise go back to stock GB.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DanCandy:
Thanks. I tried to flash via CWM and got an error? The Android with a triangle over his chest.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbldown768:
I'm on SF's EL29 stock rooted rom at the moment. This seems like you need to use Odin only in order to flash this rom. There is no other option for flashing through CWM which is fine.

My question is I assume I can use the file that retains my user data. Once flashed run the auto root to put CWM on FD19. With CWM put on I can then nandroid backup the new version.

If I want to go back to GB EL29 can I then just go into CWM and do a restore back to EL29? I'm confused when doing a restore from ICS bricks your phone? I have read in certain roms you need to odin back to GB first or something before a restore???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Great. This is a start for me, what is "wakelocks?" And pretty much i should attach a screen shot of my usage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
EL29 (GB) to FD19 (ICS) is a relatively large upgrade in terms of changes. I would say the NoData probably works in around the 70% of the cases when you are on real stock EL29 (rooted is ok). If you are on deodexed or custom ROM then you probably should just do the Full version.

In terms of backups (read operations), for my personal use, I do make them with ICS-based CWM, but for any write operations (restores, wipes, etc) I do it from GB-based CWM.

BTW if you prefer, agat63 has a CWM flashable FD19 here:

Can someone give me some insight on this as to why my battery is draining faster than usual? Thanks in advance. I really like this rom, and want to get it right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Well you havent exactly given us any info that shot right there shows nothing. Screen on time? Brightness setting. Is something wake locking i mean you can click on the graph and get detailed screen on and wake info to start having a clue from.

Standby i drain about 1 to 1.2% per hour and thats with all my software installed. Usually get 31 hours up to 2 hours screen on on my days off work. The usual 8 to 12 hours of moderate to heavy usage i got on gingerbread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nfamisnme:
hey guys is there a clarification as to better signal coverage or atleast improved signal coverage with this leak? I noticed with fd10 i had great coverage, but it was spotty. I really wanna flash this.....like in the next 10 minutes......anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dubez:
Ok, like i asked before, what is wake lock? My brightness is always below half, about 35%. I am a moderate/heavy user. All i know is that on the stock gb rom i was getting better battery because my phone habits haven't changed.

By the way thanks for the reply
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Wake Lock is when an application or background process is causing the phone to not go to sleep or throttle the cpu down. When you click on the graph if you have solid chunks of awake when the screen is off or even better the phones never off awake somethings keeping it going.

Better battery stats is a good place to start if you notice this behavior.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Yes, you tried to load it with the stock kernel, you have to load the EL26 kernel via Odin and flash it with that.

Edit: This is for post # 91, Dan Candy

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
I keep having this annoying issue...

I have the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep option enabled, but at work my wifi keeps dropping when my phone is in sleep mode. When turn the screen on, i see that it dropped wifi and now reconnects.

When I am at home, this does not happen...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] humdrum2009:
The leaks seem to be getting better each time.

The aosp roms Need full source before they can catch up

Too many issues on those roms, put me back at stock ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbldown768:
Sorry I'm still a bit confused. I only ask so I don't brick my device.

When I install FD19 its bundled with CWM ICS. So I should only use this version for nandroid backups. Now if I need to go back to GB then I have to put on GB CWM? How do I do this? Run a odin restore from a GB rom and then add CWM and then restore??

I thought sticking to stock roms that I would be safer then AKOP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
This rom comes with a stock FD19 kernel, there is no CWM. You will have to use Odin to install the EL26 kernel w/CWM, here's a link: http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/. You can do your backup from there. To go back to GB,

Your best bet would be to use sf's special one-click EL29 package to Odin back to GB (http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_CWM-oc-sfx.exe). Still the safest way to go back and forth between GB and ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Bugs that I didn't notice in other builds:

1. Notification LED will go away when charging after a while. I think sfhub mentioned something like this many pages ago.

2. Sending Text messages will start to fail to send for no apparent reason. I'm in a "reasonable" Sprint coverage area (which means 3 bars). Reboot fixes the issue.

3. I've had 3 phone calls go right to voicemail without ringing or telling me there's a missed call. Again, in a reasonable Sprint coverage area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I haven't experienced #2 or #3.

For 2&3 I would try these in order checking after each to see if the situation is improved:

1) do update profile/prl, reboot

2) do ##72786# reset, reboot

3) reflash using the the traditional ODIN .tar.md5 in the 2nd post, checking the Phone EFS Clear option - this is potentially dangerous - do NOT attempt unless you have an avenue to get the phone replaced

I don't know if any of these will fix your issues, just things to try. The problem could be some temporary issue with the tower you are on. It could be ROM issue. It could be NVRAM issue affecting modem.

The first 2 should be relatively safe. The last one is safe as long as nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong, then it could go downhill. Obviously backup before #3.
