[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CapnBry:
I went through all the pages with a fine toothed comb before I realized it says right in the second post

"Plus = unlocked recovery, initd, bootanim, usb-ms, adb-root"

So Plus means it has an unlocked recovery, supports init.d scripts (such as the kobridge battery saver), supports USB mass storage aaaand adb-root but I'm not sure what that means. The ADB process runs as root so it can do anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robbyr:
Thank you!

That is what I was trying to figure out. "Plus = unlocked recovery, initd, bootanim, usb-ms, adb-root" does not tell me a lot. I like it. It seems to have improved my battery life although I'm not sure that was the intent (hence my question). The only issue that I have with it is that it doesn't seem to agree with having apps installed on the SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Don't we also need sanim.zip in system/media, which was the case with GB? All permissions 644? I'd sure like to see how this is done, since I've tried without success in the past unless boot anim is already modded. Omar, can you give it a try and let us know? Much obliged

I'm about to try what someone with fewer than ten posts wanted to share... He simply pulled bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from a ROM where they are configured for it. I guess the suggestion is that these are not properly configured yet. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

You are right about about sanim.zip and perms though, but that's not working by itself, I have tried everything known to man...and some things only known to women :/

No avail... tried each combination of bootani and sanim... maybe it isn't 644? or maybe I'm as special as I always felt :(

I definitely took the files from a bootanimation supporting ROM. Maybe I'll just take the entire media folder. Humph!

Well, that did a whole lot of nothing... what am I doing wrong... grrrr... I hate losing to sand-castles and traces of metal!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am still trying to get all of this straight myself. I know I took the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from the "blue S" and pushed them over stock ones and that worked just fine.

If I remember right, I think you need a bootanimation.zip and a sanim.zip (copy of bootanimation.zip) in system/media but I don't know if that means you delete those two qmgs if you want a custom animation. I will experiment today

Sanim.zip is only thing I'm not sure about and don't know nothing about.

I have tried to remove 2 .qmg files from /system/media and placed bootanimation.zip there.

Since you said sanim.zip is copy of bootanimation.zip I did copy and rename booanimation.zip as well.

Did boot the phone. Nothing. Black screen between kernel flash and system up.

I think I'm doing something wrong.

And just to answer possible questions.

I did quite a few bootanimations for my previous phone so I hope I know all requirements for it unless something has changed in ICS.

I can't post links to my work since all of my bootani's are in different forum but take my word for it I do have experience with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thebomber123:
I found the same bug. When the phone is not completely sleeping it cuts the battery life in half. I experienced 12 hours with the bug(booting up when not plugged in), 22 hours by powering on the phone while plugged in. I don't know why no one else is mentioning this issue. I had done a no data upgrade and a full restore upgrade both with the same results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
May be some of your apps causing it?

Here my CPU usage screen shot.

I'm running kernel plus (my repack thou) but it shouldn't matter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
If I am remembering correctly, sanim.zip is supposed to be linked to bootanimation.

but to be honest, I feel that I also remember that some could only get it working with one, some with the other, and some needed the linked to bootanimation.zip sanim.zip... cluster
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Any hint for "how to"?

This part is completely new to me and I'm trying to understand it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:

If you can search and find the EG30 ROM by ptfdmedic he was able to bake in the great Helix boot animation. It may give you and idea unless, as you said, ICS changed how its handled

Edit..I tried what you just did and I was unsuccessful as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Tell me about, I'm in the same boat as you. I have never had any luck unless the ROM came with a bootanimation.zip already.

I can say that if I open a terminal and type

su

bootanimation

it plays the zip that I want it to right then and there (don't try this unless you want to reboot or can navigate to end background process' without being able to see your screen) so all I can think of is that we are missing the trigger that issues the bootanimation command early on. I know absolutely nothing about this stuff.

Oh, and about sanim..the way it was done in the past was to long click on bootanimation.zip (in root explorer) and click "link to this folder" then when you paste it you rename it sanim.zip

and when I try

su

samsungani

(it's what is in /system/bin and I think may be sanim's replacement or something)

It tells me "not executable: magic 7F45"

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
EG30 is GB and we had GB kernel source.

I'm not sure where that bootanimation support triggered.

In initramfs or somewhere deeper in the source.

Edit: Or may be there are two triggers to support it. In initramfs and in source itself. Just a thought.

Pssst,, somebody tell me if SDIO mode does anything for them.. I have increased my average 4G speed test from 350kB/s to 900something kB/s with just this one setting... don't know if it is a fluke but it has lasted for almost a day now..

What I think is the front door to this menu calls for a "lock code" that my MSL doesn't open. You will still need your MSL.

But from Nova (Apex, w/e)

shortcuts/activities/com.android.sprintmenu (all the way near the bottom)/ option #9 should say DATA and takes you to a magical place of altering WiMAX...

For me, going to MODE and choosing SDIO mode increased my speeds by an unbelievable amount. Some of the others worked almost as well, some were terrible... just an FYI all.

Curis

Nice work on the boot animation. Just got back from a road trip and can't wait to play with this.

Curious tho, because it will be some time before I can test this, but FE07 did not seem to differentiate between 1x and 3g signals. Does FE10?

Only showed 3g regardless, in obvious 1x areas with 1x speeds (I'll spare you screen shots)

I know the boot animation issue is a nice conquest, but, a lot of times I'd rather not have to speedtest the ever present 3g connection to see if it's safe for me to d/l or Netflix something.

I'm pretty sure Caulk's roms and some others know the difference, but I can't recall any stock roms ever displaying 1x.

Thanks.

USB Drivers

I am trying to install the USB drivers so I can flash this rom, but having some issues. When I plug in the phone, it is recognized but it shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device" and when I was watching a video on epic4gtouchroot.com it showed "SAMSUNG Mobile CDC USB Composite Device". Would this cause Odin to freeze, the rom does not fully install. I appreciate anyone's assistance on this. What does your device manager show when you plug in your device?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wraith404:
It shouldn't, but you need to reboot after installing Samsung's drivers. If that doesn't work, install the full Kies package and let it update etc.. be warned, that's about a 30 minute process at least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
Yes, I think it is "strict mode" let me check.

Yes, strict mode should give you the red flash.

And about the bootanimation/sanim thing, someone had told me that after you do it the first time you can then just bootanimation.zip. I never tried though.

And did any of you try SDIO mode yet? Haven't back read yet.

I have confirmed two others more than doubled their 4g speed... Just saying..

First off what ROM are you on now? EL29 Stock? Stock rooted? Did the device show up before?

Check the device manager and if there is any left over samsung device delete it and then re-install the drivers. Also it cannot be understated that a good brand new USB cable can make all of the difference.

Remember to launch Odin first.

With your phone NOT connected to the computer put it into download mode - power on + volume down.

Then attach it to the computer; Odin should then see it.

If you use the Bookmarks Widget and put it on any page, go to default home page or other page and then go to Task Manager via long press home button or TM app, select RAM tab and clear RAM, when you go back or tap home, you will not go to Home Screen rather it scroll/move itself to any other page that contains the Bookmark widget.

Am I Crazy?

Ok, so I've delayed asking about this for fear of making an ass of myself...but curiosity has gotten the best of me....

Has something changed about factory resets?

Or the FormatAll?

For several flashes, I have kept all personal data (pics, vids, Linux, etc..) regardless of the number of wipes I do. I could factory reset right now and all I would lose are the apps I've installed. Not the data associated with them. Everything on SD card stays.

Am I crazy or did this not used to be the case?

At first I thought I had the wrong flashable wipe, but manual wipes are the same. I checked and it is the one that wipes everything. I even redownloaded it and still the same. And I use the format version of the oneclick..

On the plus side, I have had no adverse effects. (and I don't have to reinstall Ubuntu everytime)

Like I said, just curious.
