According to sfhub OTA is save as FF18 and minor differences they have are no impact whatsoever to anything.

If I upload new rom it will be not a single bite different from what we have here. Except for name may be.;)

Don't think the name is worth it.

I'm trying to polish kernel and add as much as I can to it. I think it's a higher priority since no one else is working on kernel yet.

Hopefully few more devs will start making kernels and we can move forward faster since we can collaborate and exchange files/edit's/tweaks and ideas.

My feature requests are:

Better battery life script

Silent camera

Camera will operate when battery is low and or you are on a call

Speed tweaks but not over locked

That's all I can think of for now. Oh, I like the stock ics galaxy nexus flipping color blocks as the animation. Since ics doesn't have boot animation.zip, I can't replace it easily like in gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Just my own solutions and findings...

Better Battery Life - Agat's is pretty good already but you can try Kobridges F or SF and see what results you get. (I left out M and A since you also requested speed tweaks below)

Silent Camera - rip the one from Calk's rom

Camera tweaks - no idea

Speed Tweaks - Agat's rom is very fast, as a matter of fact I find it the best balance of battery life and speed.

As far as boot animations, I think his rom/kernel combo does support flashing new ones. I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong. LOL

Hey agat I noticed in the op the zip file no longer has the mention of smartass anymore. Maybe I'm wrong but was it there before and if so did u remove it for any reason? Thanks.

I’m still running Calk’s EL29, with the ICS theme. The ICS theme by Overstew is so perfect and I keep looking for an ICS ROM with that look. How close is this ROM’s theming to the ICS themes by Overstew and SSConceptz?

If it’s relatively the same, this ROM may finally be my ticket to a daily ICS driver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
It has been a while since I ran the same setup you describe to be running but from memory the theme is almost identical. Blue dialer, pull down toggles are blue and so on. Make a nandroid, try it out, if you don't like it then restore. :good:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Rom will not wipe data by if you comming from AOKP I would suggest you do.

Just back up your app with TB or other back up app and restore apps after flashing rom.

Skimmed through to see if this was asked, but Can this Kernel be flashed while having a Gingerbread ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
NO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stljim2005:
thanks for the quick reply. and the Info about the Kernel. Do you think anytime soon you might be able to make YOUR recovery for Gingerbread roms like EL29 for example? That'd be pretty sweet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Recovery can be included in any GB kernel by kernel dev.

I do have GB kernel source on my HD but there are no tweaks, governors, edits or additions.

I don't want to make a stock kernel.

My recovery source is on github and any dev that deals with GB roms/kernels can use it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Good to see you back on here Pancho. If it was me, I would use mobile Odin to flash Agat's latest kernel. Do a factory reset in recovery (yes it's safe now), then flash the Rom. Or you can use Calkulins format all zip or his no data zip if you don't want to wipe your data but it usually works best if you do. You don't need to go back to EL26. Don't do a factory reset from an older CWM ICS repack. That's where the bricks came from but that's been fixed with the new kernels built from source code. When you are done you probably want to update again to the latest kernel because the rom doesn't come with it. Cheers

Can you or someone PM me the link? I checked real quick but didn't see anything. I have a killer headache so I'm gonna go to bed.:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] treetolber:
I flashed this rom yesterday. Was using TBASGSIII. Anyway, one thing that is true with all GSII ICS ROMs is the black menus and email and sms apps. I was wondering if anyone had requested an inverted version of the email and sms apps. I prefer the black on white instead of white on black.

Other than that this ROM is very nice, very smooth. I haven't been on long enough to get a good impression on the battery life but by the end of today I will be able to evaluate that as well.

Safe Recovery

Hey Agat. I'm posting a screenshot of my Blazer setup. Is this kernel one of the 'safe' kernels you released of FF18?

Thanks - TD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It's a stock kernel.

Not my kernel. May be repacked with my recovery that I can't tell.

What recovery do you have?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
But it has your recovery. Oops, lets me check.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That would mean it's a stock kernel repacked with my recovery.

Recovery is safe but kernel is not.

You better off using any of my kernels compiled from source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes stock kernel, it is older stock FF18 build:

AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.2.0

Just checking if the recovery was safe. I thought so. Someone asked and I wasn't sure. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Hope this doesn't sound corny or noobish but can someone post some screen shots. There's a lot of buzz about this Rom and appears to be the most stable and smooth running around in this forum.

Was trying to flash on wife's phone a couple of weeks ago, but she came across Milestone 6 and decided that she wanted milestone, so I obliged. Not a bad daily driver for past weeks but the battery blows chunks. Plan to hijack her phone this weekend and Agat it.

So back to screen shots, will help me seal the deal by showing her some screeneis.

Just rooted & flashed AGAT src, v0.2.1 on a SGS2 E4GT w/ FF18 &﻿ have a question...

When selecting "reboot to bootloader" from the "reboot menu", the device reboots into the ROM. Is there a reason for this or a way to boot into the bootloader, as on HTC devices? My apologies if I am missing something simple here...

Apologies if this is not an appropriate thread for posting this question. Thanks!

Nope.

Repack with my recovery which has been compiled using CM7 (GB) source and has been tested many times and it is considered safe. As long as rom you wanna flash has GB updater binaries and/or doesn't have format() command line in it my recovery won't cause any bricks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Noticed issues. When running one click ff18 either installed from windows or mobile Odin, flashed ff11 modem tar and agat tar with Odin, or just agat flashed from mobile Odin. Here's the scenario. Among other programs, easy mp3 downloader 1.4.6 and shoot bubble deluxe have been installed. When agat's recovery and ff18 are running together, those two previous apps appear in the menu as on the SD card when they were previously not. When you try and run them, it says they aren't installed. When tried to move from SD to phone, it errors out. Uninstall and install from market errors out after install attempt and says can't install to SD card. I tried fix permissions in recovery and it appeared easy mp3 came back but I didn't try running it. Bubble was still mia. I fixed it by mobile Odin with ff18 stock kernel and recovery. I don't know what other info to give you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Having a similar issue on ff11. Agat said a few pages ago that flashing stock with odin than reflashing the repack fixes it, but as soon as I boot into the repack, I lose the ability to install certain apps again. Doubt it will be sorted out until Sammy releases source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just tried to install bubble delux and had no problems to install it. I flashed my combo yesterday than stock kernel and odined my repack over again. I'm able to move apps to sd as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I haven't had any issues with moving any apps to SD or not installing either. On any of these repacks.

Have you tried to clear the cache (from recovery). Then remove and re-add your play account. I konw that has helped others.

I'm just looking forward to the next build. I keep trying others but this one has just been rock solid with everything working for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Www

Try installing wheres my water. It isn't all apps, just some for some reason. Crackle and where's my water are the two I have discovered. I am using an external sd card, not just internal storage, could make a difference. Also make sure you have booted into the repack at least once. Not sure what is triggering it or how to reproduce it yet, it doesn't always happen immediately, but it does eventually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
My apps I'm question were installed before recovery was put in. This is if I didn't make that clear. I've had a few beers since my original post. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I think I discovered what is triggering my issue. It seems to happen after a battery pull. Apps like where's my water, crackle, etc won't install after that until I reflash the stock zimage.

Steps to reproduce:

Rom: Agat FF11 with external sd card installed

(1) Flash FF11 repack with mobile Odin

(2) Reboot

(3) Turn off phone and pull battery

(4) Boot phone back up and some apps that install on sd card will not install until stock kernel is reflashed (crackle and where's my water are two apps that I can confirm have this issue)

Can someone else confirm? I have repeated it twice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I never did a battery pull in my troubleshooting steps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
If you don't mind my asking why would you do a battery pull?

As mentioned above I never did a battery pull unless I absolutely had to.

Other than that I'm able to install any app and I'm able to move apps to sd if the button to move is active.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
just for heck of it I did following.

Took stock FF18 kernel and extracted initramfs.

Did repack FF18 stock with stock FF18 initramfs without editing what soever.

Flashed new repacked FF18 stock kernel and tried to move app to sd.

It worked.

Turned off the phone and pulled the battery.

Boot to system tried to move app to sd. Didn't work.

Flashed stock kernel and was able to move apps to sd.

Powered phone off pulled the battery booted to system and still was able to move apps to sd.

So I would say it's not my repack or my recovery it's the fact that zImage has been repacked.

Thus we won't be able to really fix this since the only way to activate init.d support and custom bootanimation etc. we have to repack the kernel. And even if we don't change anything the repack itself can/might/will cause that apps2sd problem.

So as mentioned before if you have apps2sd problem just flash stock kernel, reboot and than flash any repack of your choice and you wont have the problem.

If for whatever reason you have to pull the battery do same. Flash stock, reboot, flash repack.

Mobile odin is best tool in my opinion and if you don't want to buy it just download free version available to xda members.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arionfrost:
I can confirm that the same thing happened to me:

I odin stock ff18 w/ Root yesterday morning, downloaded a few apps straight from Market (not restored from titanium), and saw that Mass Effect Infiltrator was on sale for $1. Instabuy. Installed fine.

Later, I odin'd FF18 repack kernel, nandroid backup, and flashed kobridge tweak 3.5.

Boot up and saw mass effect was one of those "dissapeared" apps. Uninstalled, and tried to re-download from market and it won't install.

Not a big deal, as I am loving this setup, especially since I can have a stable recovery without the fear of bricking. I can deal with select apps not wanting to install until we get source and work out some of these bugs.

Thanks for your hard work agat63.

Off topic but does anyone here have a link to a forum where they might be info about the official ics update for epgt?

Any speculation or rumours?

During summer I do home appointments and Dona lot of driving, and I'm so beat at night I crawl into bed.

Had to flash Back to stock because it seems the GPS on the update two revisions ago would just stop working after long term use or toggleing back and forth off and on.

Since I need my GPS I have not flashed anything since then.
