Candied bacon is bacon cooked with brown sugar on it.

AWESOME

Would me installing an FF18 today be any different than the one to be pushed out later?

Yes! If you use sfhub's One-Clicks http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 you will have FF18 AND root. If you update the OTA you will lose ROOT.

Does Cyanogenmod have FF18 for my phone? Or is that not how Cyanogenmod works..

Yes there is a CM9 for this phone (right now on Alpha 6). IF you plan on flashing that make absolutely sure you follow the precise instructions or you will surely paper weight your phone! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1563658

So a ROM is specific to a phone, and a kernel is specific to a ROM, but is a kernel specific to a ROM for a phone, or is a kernel specific to any phones's version of a ROM? S*** just got confusing..

Yes it can be confusing!

So please, please take some time to read through the stickies and posts here! A little time spent reading through all the threads will save you killing your device.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awk34:
Thanks for your help! I'll be sure to browse the stickies around here.

So what do you suggest to me? Installing Cyanogenmod 9 A6, or a rooted FF18? Also, will I be able to keep all of my data when installing these?

edit: It looks like both options will reset my data. :( I was really hoping to avoid that. I'm wondering how to save data from things like certain games...

edit2: Also, I am wondering if I can customize my boot up screen with Cyanogenmod, because SAMSUNG doesn't allow you to do it with their dumb custom boot animation format. I havn't seen anything about being able to do it with C9 on a phone with Samsung's custom boot anim format.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
If you use sfhub's one click 'no data' it

will preserver

your data and give you FF18 plus root.

Since you are just starting out that is what I would recommend. It will give root, keep your data and the latest modem and everything (stock) Touch Wiz

If you want CWM you can use Mobile Odin [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en ] to add Agat's latest safe recovery found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 One of the best paid apps around if you plan on doing any modding. Watch the tutorial and read how to use it. Pretty simple. Biggest issue I found is that when selecting a kernel or other update you have to scroll down (way down) to click on apply update - easy to miss.

Again take the time and read through the entire posts. Many times questinon you are going to ask (or will come up with soon enough) will be answered.

Welcome and hope you enjoy the phone.

and if I or anyone else helps you out feel free to click on that 'thanks' button. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awk34:
Thanks, I'll install sfhub's NODATA. Now I'm wondering whether to give my brother the stock install or to root his... He has the same phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
You can also download titanium backup or my backup. Both are in the market. I use it to back up all my apps. There are other programs to backup SMS and call logs. Sometimes you can have issues with not wiping the data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You really can't go wrong with sfhub's one-clicks. They are essentially OTAs (released to development) that sfhub as added root to and made them unbelievably simple to use. And since the Sprint OTA build is FF18 your good to go. Just don't take the OTA if you are presented with it as you'll lose root.

With root you will be able to use some great tools (Titanium Backup, Mobile Odin, WiFi tether etc.) and be able to remove loads of carrier 'bloatware'.

I'd start that way and read up on using CWM and the different tools and options here.

I flashed ICS, but personally I wish I had stayed on GB for a little while longer. ICS is going out over the air today, and it would be nice to allow the devs a little more time with it. I recommend Calkulins latest GB ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mdknight:
Personally, I recommend MIJJz ICS. There's a couple of versions to meet your needs. I use "Goodness" which has all the bells and whistles. I imagine with the official ICS release coming out that he'll be updating his ICS Roms soon, especially Goodness. If you try it out, let us know what you think.

Sorry but I have to ask, are you sure your running a Samsung vibrant ROM? I have heard people talk about having button problems but that's usually when they flash a ROM meant for the samsung i9000. If you are positive your running a Vibrant ROM then look in the thread for your ROM and look for a button fix, usually in the .zip format. If your ROM was ported over from a different phone then there would be a button fix somewhere, if you can't fix it then use this app until we figure out your problem

Check out DVD Catalyst 4 at http://tools4movies.com

Works great for DVDs and Blurays I've converted to watch on our Xooms. I just use the preset XOOM and XOOM HQXT settings. Movies look great on the XOOM's screen, and they are a pretty good size (anywhere from 1.5gig to 2.5gig depending on the movie and selected preset). Sound is great, volume is fine.

If I you want to use HDMI out, I suggest you read about the differences in the built in presets and try them to figure out which looks best.

Only issue, just like Handbrake, DVD Catalyst doesn't break or get around copy protection, so you need something like AnyDVD to work that.

Well I had this phone for a month now, and it was fine all along until a couple days back, what happens is during a call randomly (once a day or so) the phone loses the network and the call gets disconnected, then it comes back after a few seconds. The 1st time this happened, it didn't come back and even switching to airplane mode didn't work, I had to reboot. Now I bought this phone used and I don't recall making any changes. I was on LPX modem initially then changed to kh3 so reverted back to lpx but the problem still persists. Even tried cleaning the sim card and contacts. Is this a hardware issue or a software issue or most likely a network issue? Considering it worked fine for almost a month.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socah:
Had similar problem few times... disappeared after random rom changes. Also could be something with usb port (this broken bastard even changed my phone state to driving mode while conversating, in result my phone turned speaker on and was screaming to my ear in public places...) If it connects to network properly everytime after reboot I would say its hardware or software problem - that means, something that you could handle directly or indirectly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzone1510:
Well now it just drops the network altogether only when there is an active call. It doesn't/hasn't happened to me while using data or anything like that, just that it drops the call along with mobile network and reconnects after like 5 seconds. Quite annoying this. What you have mentioned is some contact in your usb port (dirt etc) causing the phone to jump to driving mode. Were you having similar network issues?

I've had the exact same problem, and can't ever recall it happenning on gingerbread, Only noticed it on CM9. Looks like an ICS sandwich bug, it talks to the hardware differently so this would explain why gingerbread doesn't seem to have this problem, If you still have these issues maybe try a gingerbread modem, and see how that goes. They are backwards compatiable with ICS.

I'm dual booted with CM10 and it happened on that also. Once a day & now it doesn't come back. Only a restart gets it back. Is it advisable to do a reflash with a pit file?

Hey all,

So, I know I'm probably in the minority of users with this opinion, but I actually do like Sense. I switch over to an AOSP-based ROM from time to time, and may play with a different launcher every now and then, but I always default back to Sense before long.

With that said, I also enjoy customizing the look and feel of my phone, as I'm sure so many of you do as well. However, one thing that always trips me up with Sense is the absence of any custom-themed widgets or skins, a la the 'Warm' theme that was the cats pajamas on my 3D. Is it possible to create custom skins with these themed widgets and rosies for our LTEvo? Be more than willing to donate to the cause if someone has the time for it :cowboy:
