You may want to try it again with the FE22 kernel. FD02 is a bit outdated and may be causing some of your issues.

I only use the FD02 to install Rouge Recovery. When you flash this ROM, both kernel and recovery get overwritten with FE22 Repacked Kernel\ACS Recovery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:
But then you are stuck with an older kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Explain this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Kernel and Recovery are packed together, thus when you flash a kernel you get the Recovery that is in the same file. When you flash a Recovery, you then get the kernel packed into that file.

You cannot flash them independently.

Why are you insisting on using FD02 + Rogue recovery? You're leaving yourself more vulnerable to bricking your phone.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
I was just following the directions from Stock to get Recovery where it states to use FD02+Rogue. I saw that it got updated now to FExx unlocked recovery which can be used to flash other kernels which I used now. I did another stock recovery and installed the repacked unlocked plus, haven't installed tFE22 yet, but don't have LoS so far.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
This was my understanding as well, that's why i was confused.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
I experienced los on fe21 modem. Went back to fe16 modem haven't had an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
The FD02+Rouge was used to flash this ROM which I though should over-write the kernel \ recovery with the one included in this tFE22 ROM

Nevermind the mix up, hadn't flashed for a while, wasn't really updated on current stuff, and didn't see there was updated repacked unlocked plus kernels with recovery in the auto root package.

Just to be clear, when we say wipe, we mean using Caulkulin's Format-all zip, not "wipe/factory reset" unless you're flashing from GB.

I'm stuck at the boot screen. With the last few updates I haven't wiped data before flashing the updated ROM, with no issues. Are there changes in tFE22 that require a full wipe? Maybe my download is bad. . .

Edit: flashed stock FE22 kernel and all is well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t1chaz2002:
flashed over FE 16 without any problems...running smooth as silk....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Agat, post the deodexed zip theme for FE22, please!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Flashing FE22 kernel shouldn't fix issue? :confused:. You might still be on previous rom u were on before flashing FE22.

If you flashed FE22 rom, it installs the kernel as well. Weird install you had if u are on FE22 though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I've gotta make deodexed rom so I can take the apps required for theme from there.

Priorities for tonight (making schedule):

1. Zip and upload removed apps for odexed rom.

2. Wile file is uploading work on deodexed rom

3. Start upload of deodexed rom and make a zip for removed apps.

4. Upload removed apps for deodexed rom.

5. Wile file is uploading take nesessary files from roms (odex/deodex) make theme (flashable zip).

6. Upload themes.

Huh. I seems like I have a lot to do tonight.:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Thanks, yea I saw the OP didn't have a download. :-P I'll probably download odexed and just wipe over the FE22 deodexed I installed to test for JC.

Thanks again sir!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kevmo1965:
I really do appreciate all the work that you've done with the ROM. Hopefully we're close to the OTA so you don't keep doing this every couple of days (sometimes even more often than that).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fonseca898:
Is it possible my phone doesn't like init.d scripts with the repacked kernel? I got the stock FE22 and it booted fine. I'm about to do a full wipe and try from scratch, and then perhaps restore only the data partition if all goes well. I've flashed the last few updated ROMs over the current install, only wiping cache and Dalvik, without issue.

No beer or wife time in there?! :p

Hey did you remove one of the picture galleries? Or did I mess something up.

Where do boot animations go if I want to make a change? Never done it before..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I didn't remove it.

I forgot to add it.:D

Second gallery is AOSP gallery. It has nice widget and I'm trying to add it to all my roms.

About beer and wife.

Beer helps me. After a 6 pack I'm thinking better and faster.

The second one is harder.

She came back from Cali today. I would have to spend time with her. May be take her out for dinner or so.

We'll see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
Sent you some beer money. Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
I do like that AOSP gallery and was thinking you took it off or I botched the flash somehow.

I can't wait to see your rom develop more once we have an official ICS and source out.

Beer makes you work better and faster too!?

If that is the case [pun intended], when I have some more funds I'll donate for a 6 pack :D

Does she let you mess with her phone or is she like "don't touch my phone, you will break it like yours" [since were always "fixing" it]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
She still on her Samsung Moment and she doesn't know that I put Froyo 2.2 on her phone. She just says:"It's so fast and nice lately, I don't need new phone".

All she cares about is WiFi tether and she has an unlocked native Hotspot on her phone. All I want is to keep here happy with her phone for now.

She is up for upgrade and I wanna use her's to get myself an GSIII when it's out for Sprint..

Is there a way to get 5 icons on the tw launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I hate TW launcher and never use it and I'm not planning to modify it.

I didtn't compare launcher app in different build but you might be able to use Calkulin's launcher with this rom.

Push it to system using root explorer or adb and restart the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
LOL you sneaked in Froyo without her noticing hahaha.

You're leaving us as soon as GSIII comes out!? Aaah. I was going to wait until next gen devices running JB but if our developers jump ship I may just do the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
In systems/media, bootanimation.zip file. Rename that file. Move new boot-an file to this directory. Rename it bootanimation.zip and set permissions to 644. Agat has a separate thread for different animations:

Custom Bootanimations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If I get SGSIII this phone will stay in the family. Either my wife or my daughter will be using it so I will be able to dev for it.

Hopefully by then we will have an OTA and it won't take this much time anymore.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Agat,

I'm just curious.

tFE22_v0.1.0

Credits:

sfhub for his usual amazing work and release.

kobridge for his tweaks (I have used his init.d tweaks in this rom).

Tiffany for initial ICS theme.

Rom comes with FE22 ACS repacked kernel.

It seems like my tweak is not included in your tFE22 yet. Are you planning to add my tweaks back to tFE22? If you need anything from me, just let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What you mean break?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Users did have some fc with 21 and I didn't have time to go deep into it.

In one of my posts I said I'll release 22 with my usual tweaks and than will look into your and make an update.

I left my build.prop tweaks and used your init.d. May be there were some conflicts. Dunno yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
OK. Thanks.

Downloading now, plus running a fresh app backup in Rom Toolbox -- I think I'm going to do a full wipe before flashing this one; it's been several leaks since I really cleaned house... I hear rumor that FE16 is really smooth; don't want any leftover bits getting in the way of that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Do we have to run inti to get the performance boost? Or are these setting automatically applied?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Dont know if this was covered, but anyone notice the usb connection options changed again in the dropdown menu when connected? Think thats what they want for the final build?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Going to do a full wipe as well. So what's the deal with the reformatting of the emmc partition? I read a little about it on sfhub's thread. Anything we need to know about this, Agat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That caught my eye as well. Was he saying someone bricked wiping then flashing from unlocked Plus kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That was set in default.prop

Anyhow I packed the app into /data/ to switch between MTP and USB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I didn't think it needed a toggle... The Epic Touch is like the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you start moving files in MTP mode, the main screen will switch to "syncing" and it'll act as in USB mode. Has that not been working for people?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
It may be, im on a crappy work computer and didnt have time to mess around, premature question. Sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
He did, indirectly. What stopped me was when he said you could flash 4 times successfully and brick the fifth time using an unlocked ICS recovery. That did it for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
DO NOT use recovery for factory wipe.

I think that the biggest issue with wrong formatting.

Calkulin's format all zip is faster, better, cleaner, safer.

It has been said many times in many treads and people still using wipe/factory resed option from recovery menu.

Repacking is like and temporary patch and can't be concidered a full body recovery.

Even with unlocked/tweaked stock recovery.

Kernel has to major parts.

Kernel itself and initramfs wich is like header to that kernel body.

When kernel is compiled initramfs is build into it and it's part of the kernel. There are links, callouts and other ties between kernel body and initramfs.

What is repack?

We extract initramf form zImage (kernel file).

Modify it and push it back overwriting the initramfs inside zImage.

When modifying we should make sure that initramfs is not growing to large since it should fit into same space that original initramfs was taking in zImage file.

But to unlock, activate init.d support, activate bootanimation support etc. we have to add lines to initramfs which makes it larger than original/extracted one.

So when we push it back to zImage (repack) it will be compressed to fit in.

It's not same. Something changes there. Yes zImage works, phone boots, everything seems to be right but it's not SAME.

Unfortunatelly my knowledge of all this stuff is very limited and I can't be more specific of what/why/when it works/not works.

But this explanation should just help everyone to understand all the danger that repacked kernels present and that we all use them at our own risk.

Calkulin and sfhub providing us with stock kernels with their builds. If anyone want to avoid the danger and play completly safe I would suggest to use ODIN files provided by sfhubs. If still want to use repacked/modded recovery only Calkulin's format all and modified format all should be used.

There are not garanties that this two methode will be and/or are 100% safe but these methods are 99.99% safe IMHO.

Hope this all make some sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
did anybody ever try a older version of "hotspot" on latest leak?

Some PC's do not recognize phone in MTP mode.

For instance my work PC.

I can't install any samsung drivers on it (corporate rules) so to connect my phone to pc at work I have to be in USB mode not in MTP mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Very well said. I would even go so far as to put this into a sticky or add it to the 'how not to brick'. I wish people would read this before they go formating, wiping and flashing away. Thanks again for the excellent work.

small scare: coming from tFE10, i placed the files onto my external sd card and flashed the rom then modem then rebooted. however it kept bootlooping into rogue recovery. my initial thought was to reapply zip, but then, DING DING, i quickly said ef that. so i had to odin back to stock el29 then reapplied fe16 from there. all is fine now

question is, did i initially flash in error or was it just maybe a bad download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Agreed, I've ran the rogue repacks agat shared and only using calks format all or modified format alls and have been perfectly fine. Flashed about 6 different roms, backups/restores and works flawlessly.

If it works it will work with any of sfhubs one click roms.

Those roms are life savers. I have flashed them more time than I care to count.

Especially when trying to repack kernel. After each bad repack I had to flash one click odin since with bad kernel I couldn't boot to system or recovery.

And it worked every time.
