Cool beans!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Could you be more specific?

The best way for a bug to get fixed is if you write up a decent description of the problem and how to duplicate it.

It doesn't matter if you think it is an obvious bug, the important thing is if Samsung can duplicate the problem. If they can't then the likelihood of getting that bug fixed is low.

Mirror 1 for kernel not working
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
I would turn on wifi and it will act like its off but it turn on and it will only scan for like 5 seconds but wony find any wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Meaning the link doesn't work or the download is bad?

All the links work for me, but I will download and see if the MD5s match.

EDIT: I downloaded both ODIN and CWM kernels. They both download fine and MD5s match.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Wass try the second mirror its up now ill double check the md5. sfhub, there was a bit of an issue with little-melon for a moment and he might of hit it at that point. I had downloads at 99% going into the bytes per second range and even just not moving. I stopped and resumed and it was fine.

Edit - MD5's are clean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
What type of network are you trying to connect to and do you customize the config file? This happened to me and I found the problem, in my case, was wpa_supplicant.conf entries.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wasscomedy:
Sorry man... Yeah the mirror was not working.. Thanks for all your hard work. Are you a robot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Just the kernel? Mirror 1 worked ok for me on that one.

Trying to pick up my adhoc and my open wifi router to see if it works but it wont show up this is on the fe07 ics rom full wipe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Download complete will flash in the morning
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Chrome seems slightly better so far. I was able to log-in to FB with it finally. I had never managed to do that before. Stutter scrolling is still there about half the time but doesn't seem as bad. And in some cases it seemed to adjust itself and started scrolling just fine after a little stuttering. Normally I wouldn't of been able to use it for this long either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Most android releases do not support connecting to an adhoc network by default. People have had to use recompiled wpa_supplicant binaries to get adhoc connections working.

Bug Report:

I notice a bug on FE10/FE07/FD26. not sure back builds.

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. It's kind of annoying. (put the widget on any page after clearing RAM you always back to any page that contains it not defaul home page.)

Edit: Present on FD26/FE07/FE10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
See now you are getting in the gray area. The only truly safe way is to put EL26 kernel on and flash format zip then flash ROM but some chance it and use format zip from Rogue kernel but there is a small chance you can brick. I think Mijj always suggests a full wipe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
In my honest opinion, Stock recovery from Fe07+ is just as safe as using EL26, just don't do a wipe data using stock recovery, use calks format all or modified format all, until sfhub and many others have figured out if samsung did have a fix for the brick issues.

This is saying you have sfhub's Fd26, Fe07 or Fe10 unsecured or plus kernels installed to allow you to flash roms, themes, zips etc.

But yes, like JC says, the FOR sure way to not brick your phone is EL26 route, but if you follow rule of thumb above for stock repacked recoveries, you should never brick neither.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
We know for sure that Samsung's fix either wasn't addressing our issue or was coded in a way so it isn't being applied to our phones because one tester got what appears to be a hard brick after wipe data/factory reset. I just want to say thank you very much to Robert for risking his phone and advancing our knowledge of the problem.

It didn't happen before we started testing wipe data/factory reset more heavily so the working theory we have is wipe data/factory reset is using some special EMMC commands to do the reset whereas formatting the partitions is going through the standard kernel block device interface which maps to different EMMC commands.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
I've been able to install apps through the browser (using Maxthon) and its downloaded files folder; I'm on sf's repacked plus FE07. They may also be Play Store apps, but I think installing any app externally is effectively from an 'unknown source', unless, perhaps it's an update to an already-installed app. Have you tried to install a known Play Store app through the mechanism you're using? Be curious if that takes. What's the name of the app you can't install and I'll try to run it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I am not able to duplicate the problem but I believe I have tracked down why I'm not able to duplicate the problem. It is related to why certain phones install to external SD when you choose "Move to SD" and why some phones install to internal SD. There is some factor that causes this and I am trying to determine why as some people prefer one behavior or the other.

I actually installed one of the apps MeWarning had problems with using the Plus kernel on my phone and it installed fine and started up. I did have an external SD installed though. If I removed the external SD then I'll get an error on install.

It is related to whether the android secure partition is kept on the external SD or internal SD. I don't know what factor causes this to change. If your android secure partition is on internal SD, then you will notice a difference with the plus kernel vs stock. If your android secure partition is kept on external SD, then plus and stock will perform the same, meaning "Move to SD" will only work with external SD installed.

I will keep looking into this and hopefully in the process also figure out what causes some phones to have android secure on external SD and what causes some to have it on internal SD. I know some people prefer the former and some the latter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bjgebg:
Is the scrolling fixed in this vision??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Depends on your sensitivity to the scrolling behavior. Some people will feel it works fine and some people will hate it. IMO opinion the scrolling sensitivity hasn't changed from FE07, so if you liked it then, you'll still like it. If you didn't then you still won't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Ah, I see. You had mentioned this before and I failed to connect the dots.

Anything you want me to test? I have an external SD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
This one is very impressive on stock rom and on battery wow and hasent heat up and i been using it alot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Read a few pages back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
ODIN isn't seeing the unpacked kernels??? i've tried both mirrors on both unpacked kernels. What the hizzle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
did you unzip it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Yup. After downloading .zip files I hit extract and made a new folder n everything. I can see the zImage there, but when I open PDA slot, it's not there. Weird. I've done this before with no problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Look at OP again. You need Zarchiver and follow steps in Android, in sfhubs post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You seem to teach me something every day! My internal Android secure was last used on April 12 and since then it looks like its been external. Can low storage availability make it change default somehow?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
I'm available to test things as well.

Right now, I cannot move anything to SD or internal, it's phone only for me.

I formatted my SD card just to test.

It recreated the .android_secure on my SD (/sdcard/external_sd.)

there is NOT an .android_secure on my internal (/sdcard/)

Attempting to move to SD without the external SD I get the standard message.

Attempting to move to SD with the external SD installed, it pretends, then eventually I get the message "unable to move".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
FACEPALM! Flashed the Plus kernel. In About Phone can you confirm that the numbers and stuff under there are going to be THE SAME as Stock Kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
I've never complained about scrolling, but I've never liked it in any of the leaks, till this one. Either I've gotten used to it (what is this, the 432nd leak?) or they've detuned the turbo. I wasn't on FE07 long enough so I don't know if further changes were made. Either way, IMO, they're moving in the right direction and if no more mods are made I can live with this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah along with every TW repack I have ever used from steady hawkin for ICS. The only ones I have seen that are not are for AOSP/AOKP which have a tiny bit of additional info tacked on the end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
Thanks!

anyone know where i can get the stock dialer / contacts.apk

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I'm on FD02 Repack kernel CWM and The Goodness FD26. Can I just do complete wipe and flash using my current recovery OR do I have to flash el26 kernel with CWM and then flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
For sure I use it for background and unlock screen, simple is sometimes best.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes the version info is the same because the actual linux kernel was untouched, only the initramfs was modified (think of it as a ramdisk joined together with the kernel, but due to semantics it is actually part of the kernel)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Does it work for you with stock kernel?

Could someone with a unit that can properly move to INTERNAL SD using the stock untouched kernel (ie it can move to SD when you do NOT have external SD inserted) type the following (while using the stock untouched kernel) and attach the mount.txt file to a post

adb shell

mount > /sdcard/mount.txt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't think it changes due to space availability. I believe it is changing due to some conditions at startup. If I can figure out why it changes, then theoretically we can induce one or the other condition and people would be able to switch whether external or internal SD is used for "Move to SD"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
You can safely use the fd02 repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
This is not correct. Do not wipe or flash with any current ICS recovery. When it is safe you will definitely know it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Ya I had never bothered trying to move anything to the external SD. Just got the unable to move message.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I'd used it in the past with no problems but you are correct, to be on the safe side they should flash back to GB. Thanks for catching that.

Further clarification on my original comment about using FD02. I've never done a wipe before installing one of sfhub's full one-clicks because to my understanding it wasn't necessary because the one-click wipes it for you and does a fresh install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you guys want ICS theme with this rom I did extract theme from my rom.

here are odexed and deodexed version of the theme:

http://d-h.st/hVP odexed version.

http://d-h.st/tQd Deodexed version.

This has been made for FE10 and I've used FE10 apps/framework.

Screen shots are same is in my roms.

Only difference is from what jase33 made for FE07 is pull down completely transparent including icons background for power widgets and battery has 1% increment icons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For my unit, I don't actually have a choice in stock or in repack. All moves/installs to SD are going to external SD. If I have external SD inserted, all the installs that you are having issues with work fine. Same with stock untouched kernel.

If I don't have external SD inserted, then for both repack and stock untouched, I get the not enough storage space message.

However, I understand your unit is behaving differently, in that your unit tries to install/move to internal SD, thus with the repack, it will give you an error where before it was working fine.

I'm trying to figure out why some units install to internal SD and some install to external SD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
That was very cool of you to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I thought you don't have to run my rom to use this cool theme originally created by Tiffany84.

From all the themes out there this is my absolute favorite one but if you guys would like to use any other theme just ask creators permission and I'll make theme for any new build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
sorry for the dumb question but what do i do with the theme.zip can i mobile odin it or move with root explorer ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Download.

Copy to root of sd card.

Boot to recovery.

Apply theme zip.

Boot to system.

All you need is sfhub's unlocked recovery or CWM recovery.

Both will work just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
sweet thank you

btw this themes tw correct so if i install apex launcher will that cause conflict
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Nope.

It has nothing to do with any of launchers.

I'm using Nova and have no problems with it.

Themed are:

Contact.apk

MMS.apk

Settings.apk

SystemUI.apk

framework-res.apk

So you will keep the theme no matter what launcher you using.

Mobile Network Signal Display

My setup:

FD10 Stock Rooted

FD02 + CWM

EL13 Modem

My issue:

See attached images. While battery life is obviously no complaint, what is with how the signal displays? Notice on Badass Battery Monitor how the radio time on displays 4:39 hours on but my uptime is over 20 hours? Confused! TIA everyone!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
thanks for your help i mobile odined the fe10 plus kernel but when i boot to stock recovery there is no option to install a zip.

all menu items are in blue also

this is what i get for recovery

android system recovery

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

test redbend fota[fs]

and down bottom

#manual mode#

appling multi-csc

applied the csc-code :unknown

successfully applied multi-csc

any ideas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
They're supposed to be in blue, one of them should of said: apply update from external storage. That's what you wanted to select.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
so i need a external sd card to install a .zip

my last post promiss ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Not sure if this will work but instead of putting the zip file in /sdcard put it in /cache. Then in recovery select apply update from cache. And don't wipe cache in recovery before you flash either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Stock recovery only supports installation of update.zip files from external SD, so yes you would probably need an external SD. Just a small one would be fine.

I have never tried the install from cache feature, but it could save you from using external SD at the expense of making it slightly more steps to copy files to your phone.

Also I think stock recovery in ICS changes the buttons used. Now it is vol+/- (same as GB) but the select button changed from Home to Power. Power used to be "go back" in GB recovery (I think)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
Never even thought to try this before but it wouldn't work for him to try and update from cache if he had the zip in there?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffek:
got it to work had a old sd card 64mb lol around

sory didnt see this post first would have tried to install from cache
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It might, I never tried it. I forgot about it until you mentioned it. I am back on GB right now trying to figure out the internal/external sd card issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
That's cool, thanks for letting us know you got it to work! Now I just want to know if flashing from cache actually would of worked. Probably wouldn't ever need to do it, but something that could come in handy in a pinch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
BTW MeWarning, is the following something you could perform?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:

How is the battery life on FE10? I'm on FE7 atm. Before that I was running stock EL29 rooted and have found battery life very disappointing thus far in ICS. Just from reading here I get that it's much better than earlier version's of ICS. I used to get a day and a half on GB with moderate usage. I'm lucky to get 12 hours now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Hey sfhub it is possible that you upload and post original and untouched OTA file in OP (resources)? That would be awesome.:D

I sincerely apologize for any redundancies, but was there ever anyone with bootanimation jedi-like skills that chimed in?

I have never been able to get them working on a build that didn't come with one installed...no matter what I seem to rename, replace, delete, change perm, hang from the ceiling like a topsy-turvy tomato plant (those are friggin creepy...).... but yeah,

I'm sure it's staring me in the face and I am TIMMMAY-ing it up...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kebetz:
NVM....

Gonna see what's up.

I clearly was not paying attention.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbman190:
I think I found a bug. If your power the phone on when not connected to a charger, the phone will not deep sleep. As soon as I plug in the charger and then unplug it a second later, Better Battery Stats shows that the processor starts to deep sleep when the screen is off.

This also could be a bug in Better Battery Stats.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Also, I posted this in the FE07 thread but I don't think many people saw because FE10 was released before I posted there.

Observation: My battery life is significantly worse when I'm connected to a corporate Wifi network using 802.1x authentication and roaming between APs versus when I'm connected at home. I think this is driving up my Android OS usage percent. I also have a lot more kernel wakelocks then.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sooppex:
Interesting. I just upgraded and it still just shows my inbox. Hasn't worked in FD26, FE07 or FE10. It works in EL29 and I matched the EL29 settings to the 3 ICS releases and still no dice. It's slowly driving me nuts.

Gotta say this is my first time running stock TW for more than a couple of hours. Not bothering me too much.

If our friend from Samsung is reading this, feel free to contact me. I'm a themer and would love to help Sammy beautify TW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I'd love to see that too but Samsung seems to be stuck on that ugly orange, green, and grey with cartoony looking icons. I hate it and no way will I ever run a stock TW based Rom again unless it's for testing. OTA? No thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
bootanimation.zip formats doesn't works on E4GT on Stock TouchWiz ROM cause Samsung uses a proprietary format for Boot animation. Buuut you can flash kernel Plus from OP that enables that function.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Does it mean that with plus kernel we can use bootanimation.zip files again?

If yes how would I go about it.

Flash bootanimation.zip to system/media or I have to delete the Sammies .qmg files as well?

Is there anything else needed to make bootanimation.zip play on boot?

I'm running plus kernel and would like to know.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I already tried it on FD26 and put a question in the thread for it. Someone apparently asked for it to be added but sfhub was not able to test it. I deleted the stock qmg and well that went away but the boot animation in either location did nothing.

Unless sfhub changed something since then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Have you tried it wit FE10 or not yet.

I did place bootanimation.zip into /system/media folder but it did nothing.

But according to sfhub's OP for FE10 plus kernel supports bootanimation.

Just don't know how.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I did no tried it yet, but as OP and you pointed > "highlighted red text" :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I only tried it with FD26 plus and I am on CM9 now so sorry not trying again:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That's what I tried.

I placed bootanimation.zip into /system/media folder with no dice.

I was wondering what else should be done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Did you check that desc.txt file info (inside bootanimation.zip) is correct it suppose to have this :

480 800 15

p 0 0 part0

if resolution if not correct it will not work either. I'm telling from experience but yet not tried on FE10 with Kernel Plus
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah and I used boot animations I already had and had used before on GB/ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robbyr:
Where?

I read and search through the entire thread and there isn't any mention of the plus kernel other than suggestions to try it.

I wouldn't ask before I did some digging. I would just like an idea of the changes/tweaks in it.
