Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch ICS update leaked

26 April 2012 by Michael Crider ]

Ah, there hasn’t been enough news lately about the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch lately – my fingers were just starting to recover. An enterprising XDA user named “sfhub” has posted what seems to be an official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Now Network phone, compatible only with the specific version of the device. The leak comes after various international versions of the Galaxy S II have been updated, not to mention leaks for AT&T’s Galaxy S II and Galaxy S II Skyrocket.

The update comes in the form of a one-click Odin desktop install, so you’ll need a PC in order to apply it. The XDA poster has kindle pre-modded the software to grant root (which pretty much anyone who installs a leak will want anyway) and offers it in a “clean” version that wipes your current ROM or an upgrade version that keeps your user data intact. The latter may cause problems with some apps, so for a worry free experience I’d recommend a clean flash.

Early user reports are positive; the software seems nearly complete. No major issues with the core Android and TouchWiz experience have been noted by flashers, though the update process is confusing if you’ve never used Odin before. If you’ve already rooted, remember to make a Nandroid backup. There’s still no word on when the OTA update will arrive.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
XDA has a leak of ICS? Why did nobody tell us?! When did this happen?!?!

;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
According to Calkulin, this is not the official update, as every leak has had OTAs.

Transmission sent from my slim n trim Galaxy S II.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sobaked2921:
Is it just fd24?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drpandol:
omg... i've applied it to some people in my company...

it should get the OTA although it's not the official one, right?

The thing is I need to preserve their data and if it won't receive any further OTA, it's gonna be too cumbersome...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
i dont know if you're trolling or stupid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
I'm going for stupid, things will be so much more interesting that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
It goes along well with the original post of this tread.....

Why would anyone copy and paste that story....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Just a stupid troll.lol..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
You guys scared away the OP and after he gave breaking news......:D

Was reading this article and thought it was interesting how Dan Hesse is planning on bringing Wimax to Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile while Sprint gets LTE to itself. Does that mean Wimax might be around longer than 2015? Hmm??

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
think it'll still run thru 2015 as theyve always said.. and then slowly disable the network early 2016.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
Ignore, I'm a dumbass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Then what happens to boost n virgin mobiles 4g customers after it gets shut down? They hop on our lte and steal our bandwidth? :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hodgie26:
By that time all of the networks will probably be looking into moving to some 5g technology
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
Or LTE Enhanced ;) and the 800mhz freq. Those boost mobile won't handle that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
What's in this theme/mod...

1. Full ICS theme: Some apps still retain the old GB styling (Amazon AppStore, Titanium Backup, etc.). They still have the only orange progress bars, old context menus styles. This theme/mod removes all the old GB styling and all apps will have the ICS Holo style. All credit to BlackDino for this amazing mod/theme.

Before:

After:

2. Holo Gradient background fix: You might have noticed that the Holo black-gray gradient background does not have a smooth gradient and you can notice the lines across the gradient changes. This replaces the background images with high quality images with smooth gradients. All credit to arzbhatia for this mod/theme.

[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Hey!

Can somebody make a theme for MIUI status bar like iPhones one (screenshot) ?

The point is to make it a little bit thinner than normal MIUI.

Note: I want it for MIUI Gingerbread 'cause it's easier than MIUI v4, but if you want it for MIUI v4 ...

Thanks!!
[Android Themes] gfs222:
Every time i look at a picture of an iphone i want one so badly :(
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Me too, but my phone looks now like an iPhone with MIUI + Ultimate iPhone theme.

Now I'm tryin to make it perfect :)
[Android Themes] davidstre:
ugh. just go buy one.
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
If you pay for it then okay!

In Europe it's expensive my dear friend!
[Android Themes] tung91:
Try this psd, mate, not so hard but it need a lot of time :rolleyes: with these resource you can rebuild the iphone theme for miui for best result :D

Better if it's free :)
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Hey! The problem it's that I don't know how to do that. But thanks!!
[Android Themes] timpuri_noi:
Get out... now.
[Android Themes] iximages:
LMAO!!!!
[Android Themes] Velcis Ribeiro:
I'm 95% already done with this, i need help to separate, and put Battery to Right Side.
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Cool, but the most important thing is to make it thinner, like the iPhones one :)
[Android Themes] GANJDROID:
Don't even think that's possible unless you use a lower DPI.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Umm probably with an 3rd party app?
[Android Themes] GANJDROID:
Yeah. LCD Density will do it, but it will make everything smaller.
[Android Themes] picard666:
i guess you can do it by editing systemui.apk's layout xml files manually
[Android Themes] xriderx66:
your gonna mess up alot of things by editing status bar to be thinner.

If you do it, the time will have to be changed to be smaller and fit, then it will have to be modded again so miui can change where it's location is. All this but for pretty much every notification you'll ever get. all the icons are going to have to be smaller than before, and it may not even fit on the status bar.

Just use a lower dpi, im on 200 and it looks really good.
[Android Themes] darius4cs:
Changing DPI, the icons remain at the same dimension and the labels are smaller and they come on the icons..
[Android Themes] K Dotty:
The battery and signal are a cluster. I'm not to fimiliar with MIUI but I'm guessing it follows the same principle. Only the battery text can be moved to the right on its own. I may be wrong but that's how it was when I was running CM7.

Looks Great

Hi guys,

It looks absolutely awesome!!!!

Is it still a work in progress? or is it finished and the full thing is in a different thread?

Cheers guys
[Android Themes] camiam:
you could use custom status bar + in the play store . I use it all the time
[Android Themes] vibos:
Can some one tell me how to do like this? In PM, if you can (dont think that i came to this thread again)
[HTC Incredible S] faith159:
my phone crashed... and now it s not turning on...

no orange light when put on charging.

was viewing web site.. suddenly the screen went black but lights were on bottom keys. so i pulled out battery now it not turning on....:(
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
Are you able to enter bootloader (power + volume down button)? If so then factory rest (in case s-on & stock) or boot into recovery (in case rooted). If still no luck, then take to HTC service.
[HTC Incredible S] faith159:
its rooted... it wasen't powering up at all..but in the morning i gave it a try removing and reinserting the battery and it worked.:D

what could be the problem any suggestions. :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] mohitgalaxy3:
If it's not turning on then what are you afraid of.......take it to the service centre man....
[HTC Incredible S] faith159:
if it gives me same problem again. i surly will take it to the local mobile repair shop, we don't have HTC service center.. and it's not under warranty.
[HTC Incredible S] dinesh2707:
htc incredible s not turning on

I too had the same problem. But, it is dead. I got it replaced.

Fortunately, you got it up. So, i guess might be your battery drained off.:rolleyes:

Is it normal to have errors in games when we overclock Zeus?

I tried to zipalign and fix permissions but everytime I OC the games open with graphical error or not open at all.
[LG Optimus Black] Zakyz:
Yep, i oc to 1120 and some game crash sometimes. 1100 seems stable for me.

[LG Optimus Black] Meninw:
I realized that, but what's the point of doing OC if it doesn't work with games? For phone calls or send sms I don't need OC. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintuser1977:
For those using ics roms with ics camera how does it compare to the stock camera? I am really satisfied with the stock camera but will install the ics one if it is as good as stock or hopefully better.

I'm currently on Chriskelo's ics rom using stock camera
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
Well, it increased my MPixels, gave me dual xenon flash and increased usable ISO to 25600 completely noise free. It also gave me the ability to save raw files and shoot 10 pics/sec and gave me a nice F1.4 lens. On top of that it completely removed the shutter lag!

J/k, I don't believe there's any tangible difference as it's the same hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00407:
I actually think the ICS AOSP camera is generally found to be worse. On most roms it has problems autofocusing and lots of "no sdcard found" errors. I'd recommend sticking with stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1ng617:
I'm on CM9 port and I would say I enjoy the Samsung camera better, not because it takes better photos, but that I enjoy the quick select options in Samsung's version. I would say the difference between ICS & GB Samsung is minimal if any.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahalford:
No autofocus issues with camera. "No sd-card found" or similar - it's a mount point problem, related to the kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REVERSiN:
everyone says camera quality tuned i mean WTH i couldn't tell the difference and i would say for now best of the best are GB ROMS ICS are buggy (though it depends on user and devolper) but still you'll have an FC or two at least once day and it annoys... today i got back to GB simply because i want a functional ROM not a one that would stuck me outside on a trip or at work....

camera in GB is much better the only advantage of ICS is that it snaps faster than GB that's all battery life is alike but there are still far more customizations in GB than ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintuser1977:
Thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] ptlsajan:
ok so anyone here still using the CM7 rom

if yes then do u face the problem of detecting the microphone in apps like viber

its like when u call the person then the voice is heard in the phones speaker instead of headphones and then i have to reinsert the headphone to listen

is there anyone who can help me..........i really dont like ICS

thanks:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
It could be a hardware issue but just to check that it isn't, perform a nandroid back up and flash another rom, make sure to perform a wipe inbetween though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MoPhoMike:
OK, folks, I have been searching and trying various search terms, but can't find anything.

MoPho unlocked, rooted, stock ROM 198_7....

I am having issues with the Display timeout reverting back to 30 sec. after varying scenarios. Occasionally I will rotate the phone, set up the kickstand and I'll notice when I set it down, it will timeout after 30 secs. I have it set to 5 minute (using Android Assistant) and have also used the 10 minute setting (stock timer under settings) and unit will STILL revert back to 30 secs. I have no clue WHY it does this, but hoping some one may be able to help. Having to constantly go back in and change this setting is getting REALLY annoying! Ay help is GREATLY appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] 911jason:
Back from the dead! Haha... sorry... did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problem on my LG G3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemoryController:
As i dont have my i9100 these days with me I need someone to test kexec. I have modified slightly the kernel side kexec and compiled for ARM the 2.0.3 version of kexec-tools. Hopefully it will work. If it doesn't then I still have some ideas.

Below is a modified siyah zImage and kexec. As I can't remember which siyah ver it is, don't use full wipe. You should know how to use kexec. Remember to put kexec on /system or sth like that, because you can't run native binaries from sdcard. Also don't forget to --append="kernel cmdline here"

You can get a proper cmdline via cat /proc/cmdline. Load obviously another kernel via kexec and not the one included. If you can, provide serial output during the kexec.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
And what are said benefits/risks associated with this? Can we get more info before we blindly flash this to our phones?

Well we could have dual boot ics and gb is one example.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemoryController:
Will attach sometime tomorrow another version which should be completely safe and another one with another modification. If you can please test it. Hopefully my repaired i9100 will arrive sometime on Monday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saifbechan:
funny thread

Sorry to add this comment but I find this thread extremely funny.

If I understand it correctly you broke your phone, and you want someone else to try the software you created.

Then you say you will attach a new one in the coming days, and that one might be safe, but you are not sure because you have no phone yet. We should test it for you.

I have to say it's a smart move, it will safe you the trouble of braking your phone again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemoryController:
Oh no. My phone is physically damaged and i had a temporary replacement i9100 as part of my insurance. My repaired phone will be back on Monday. So it's not so funny after all. The zImage is siyah 3.1.2 but as I can't be completely sure (need to check my pc) i will upload 2 new zImages(2 modifications on a new clean siyah base).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemoryController:
So no. I will use my phone for testing, but i have to wait untill Monday. If anyone wants to he can use my zInages. They are siyah after all, just a block of code is changed regarding kexec.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beston94:
But...why is it in development?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julle131:
If i understood correctly, this will be developed when OP receives his phone, or when someone tries this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] af974:
Sorry, but when you will have your phone back you should have your own thread.

I'm going to close this thread as i don't want people complaint for a possible brick.

Hope you understand ;)

When you have your phone and when you will test your kernel, hit me on PM and i'll reopen this thread again but this would need also a better explained 1st post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belt_Fed_Wombat:
First Post so I cant send this to the dev forum for the actual build! :rolleyes:

I am suffering from the lack of "3G" which I have noticed is widespread across many users for this build of Android.

To help the developers I have tried doing my homework...and it's fair to say that the 3G connection is connecting, however it isn't getting any data routed via the 3G connection.

I found this out by doing the following:

From the Phone keypad type *#*#4636#*#*

I made a note of the following settings.

Ping IP Addr: Fail: IP addr not reachable

Ping Host Name w w w.google. co. uk):Fail Host unreachable

HTTP Client test: Fail IOException

(yes loopback worked)

However....

In BusyBox:

su root

route

Kernel IP Routing Table

Destination	Gateway	Genmask	Flags Metric Reg	Use Iface

#

The whole routing table is blank!

Now from what I have been taught this week, a routing table should at least have an ip address and an adaptor, a gateway via an adaptor,and an internal loopback address.

WIFI was turned off deliberately and so far has not been enabled. This was so that no settings were contaminated (plus I didn't have a wifi connection available to me at the time).

These settings were taken from a clean installation of the 08mar12 magldr version of the nand rom.

Developers....please please please help me in this matter - I am trying to do diagnostics by adding routes on the routing table or look at a cached routing table (if one exists).

This is a brilliant build of android

- it's just a shame that there is this problem. I moved from the sd build to the nand build because I was so impressed - unfortunately this wasnt a wise move for the timebeing even as a stopgap until this problem is resolved - I can't go back to it because I dont have the pre 2012 sd build to hand and all prior sd releases from fileservers have been removed :o(....

Big thanks to the American Android and Cyanogenmod team so far for a brilliant piece of software development and programming!!!

Hope this data helps warrenb & copenhagen with diagnostics!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czucker:
Pardon me if this has been covered in the past, but I'm having a difficult time finding the info that I'm looking for.

I have a Kindle Fire that I had put CWM on. Yesterday, I installed TWRP and the Reloaded ICS rom.

Everything went fine and I'm very happy with the ICS installation.

However, if I boot back into recovery, then CWM loads up. I was expecting TWRP to overwrite CWM, but apparently that's not how it works.

I'm on a Mac and these are the steps I took to flash TWRP:

Does anyone have any advice? Thoughts?

I'm very new to Android. . .

Best,

Chris
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
If you are trying to install TWRP version 2.1.x then those steps will not get TWRP installed onto your recovery partition. "fastboot boot" just loads the image into memory and boots from there. You'll need to "fastboot flash" the image to actually get it on to the recovery partition.

Just to clarify a possible source of confusion... version 2.0.0 was distributed as a boot image wrapped around the recovery image. So, the instructions were to "fastboot boot" the boot image and then it would run an internal script that would flash the recovery image contained within the boot image. Now, version 2.1.x is just a recovery image, so you'll need to flash it manually.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] David_8787:
HI folks,

Total newbie here looking for advice. With the excellent instructions on the site, I was able to quickly and easily burn CM7 to a class 4 SD card and boot my 16 gb nook table w/ no problem. I love CM7 and it blows away the Nook OS and the absurd limitations B&N has placed on the tablet.

Here's the question: I now want to open up additional storage and want to know if it is worth rooting the Nook internally?

I also wonder if it would run a little faster vs. running from the SD card?

I see no reason to ever go back to the B&N environment. On other hand, don't want to accidentally brick it in the process when it is running fine from the card.

If I choose to go with internal root, I am also bit confused on the best (most sound) way to go ahead and load CM7 internally, given that it is running now from the card. Do I just move it over or do I have to do something with CWM?

Thanks!

David:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Easiest way to get a rom on the internal:

1. Make a bootable clockworkmod sd card (similar to your CM7 card, but this card will allow you to boot into a custom recovery).

2. Transfer desired rom (zip file) to local memory of the nook.

3. Boot into clockworkmod recovery via the card.

4. Make a backup of the current rom.

5. Install zip from sd -> choose the zip file you placed on the local memory.

6. Wipe data/cache.

7. Reboot into your new internal rom. If you would like, you can use indirect's app to flash clockworkmod to the internal memory and then format the bootable sdcard so you can use it as media storage.

If you ever need to return to stock, you can simply restore your backup via recovery.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] David_8787:
Thank you very much!

That helps. I guess I am still trying to decide if it is worth doing that.

Will I have memory free on the device that I do not now and will it run any more efficiently or faster (vs. running off the SD card)?

Thanks again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
I think you'll have full access but it won't be mounted when you plug it into a PC.

If you want it to be mounted, you'll need to repartition. There is a guide for that or you can go to B&N and have them do it. Though, the B&N repartition is only half and half; doing it on your own you can get a lot more.

This is only for CM7 based roms though. CM9 does not have the internal memory mounting yet (I'm sure eventually it will).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gbmaxse:
jericho ishipatb

Hmmm I need to search for a guide to mount the internal memory again.

I have done what the OP is thinking about doing on my Nook Tablet 16gb.

It works flawlessly but I don't see the internal memory when hooking the nook up to a PC. I just get an exclamation mark in my device manager. I can browse the internal memory through cm7, and it shows that I have nearly 12 gigs of free space on the device itself, but I cannot drop content from my pc on there.
