Well, I wanted to play around with ICS before I got a custom ROM, specially since I don't know which one I like yet (for EL29/2.3.6).

If it isn't too much trouble, if you could send me the update zip that would be awesome. If not, I'll stock with an ICS ROM

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
There are plenty of custom ics roms in the Dev section. And el29 is 2.3.6 btw ;) depends on what you want, aosp(cm9, aokp) or tw(blu kuban, goodness, venum ice, etc) lots of choices, I personally only use aosp roms and exclusively aokp out of the choices. I'm not a fan of tw the UI looks like something my 5yo made with his crayons :eek:

We are legion, for we are many.

Crawrj still has his link active. Very recent update and you can use the stock recovery to use as the update. Just say the word of you don't know how to boot into recovery and apply. No need to rename but you can of you like, just name it update.zip and place into your sdcard.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Charlottte:
Okay soo, sorry for not posting! I got the OTA AGAIN, and I attempted to do it again. I didn't get an error about my font. It just said "Manual Error" "E:/ File Reporteded." and update failed somewhere so. I'm downloading the update zip still; almost done...do you think it's worth trying? Also, is it full wipe?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch, Heaux!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
If you're using the link from the post above you, no, its not a full wipe. That is the ota file.

You'll need to boot your phone into recovery and apply the update.zip option.

Personally, no, i wouldn't run the ota.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Charlottte:
I finally got ICS! I used ODIN to flash the FF18 update instead of recovery and it worked. Wifi isn't as strong, the font is a smidge awkward, I still don't know how to take screenshots, but other than that ICS is awesome!

Long press power/vol down or power/home. Hold for about 3 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
I have been on ICS since the update and although i like the interface i have been having nothing but problems. i ended up backing up with titanium and doing a reset of the phone, still having issues although not as much with the wifi.

phone freezes at time, wifi needs to be refreshed at times, phone runs slow and somewhat choppy (removed live wallpaper to help relieve.), when i click on apps there is like a fading delay transition into the app. Oh and battery will not last more thank 5 and a half hours... and that is with light to no use.

I am no thinking of going with a custom rom ( i am rooted with oden). what rom should i go with that will give a similair look to ics but without all the problems.

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Is that 5 1/2 hours on screen time or total battery life?

And there are several Stock "look and feels" in the Dev section. As with any Rom, YMMV. It's just a matter of taste and all anyone can really suggest is reading through the threads and seeing what appeals to you. Read through in it's entirety to get known issues, compliments, fixes, adjustments, etc..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Yes.

You said you got ff18 up and running. I'm assuming with the one click?

And you have to have usb bugging enabled to use the autoroot tool to install cwm. Enable debugging while unplugged from pc, then connect again to use the autoroot. It will not show in windows while set that way. Sounds like your 7 was correct and did you stop at that point because you didn't see it?

Maybe root didn't take(can verify with root checker from the store).

Can you give specifics about it failing? What did the dos box show when trying the process?

And I'll have to do some reading on the mms issue. I'm not familiar with that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
Thanks MoHoGalore. Yes that is 5 and a half hours total time. I will read up in the development section as you suggested .

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Man, ouch !!

I can tell you that the Lil ladys phone, which is an e4gt, and a co-worker, att variant, both had abysmal battery life.

I reset the Lil ladys (not recommended) and it improved greatly.

Shed go to work with a full charge and by lunch it was dead.

But I digress; there are some Great bulids in dev. Good luck to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ALpHaMoNk:
Thanks for the info...my wife has the same phone but still on GB and she can go 2 days on one charge .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
yes one click ff18 i thought it was supposed to be a rooted rom, i had SU. debugging was enabled before i plugged it into the pc, it just sat there waiting for device. i let it wait about 5 minutes, maybe more. no error, just acted like it didnt recognize the device plugged in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
It is rooted. And it won't show as a connected device with debugging enabled, unless you set usb mass storage on while set that way, but the autoroot tool for cwm will run correctly.

An after thought - did you put your phone in recovery mode to check?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
I did put the phone in Recovery . It was stock.

In vmware on Mac there is an icon to connect Samsung phone. U click it and it disconnects almost immediately. On my XP box it connects my media drive and won't recognize the phone is connected to install recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Hey, check out this post. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19731087&postcount=225

Is that what you saw? If so, root didn't take. I'd try the ff18 i again then verify with root checker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
No, that's not what I saw it just stays on the "waiting for device to be connected" screen.

Ill try again this evening and pay closer attention.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Sounds good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
ok, i got it straight. i formatted twice, then i reinstalled ff18. i found that wmware wont recognize the phone for some reason, so i had to use my xp box and reinstall the drivers, then i could install recovery. worked like a champ.

its annoying, the next macbook i get i'll install a 1tb hdd and do a proper dual boot. but its a good thing i have an xp box, old as it may be still gets done what i need in a pinch.

thanks for all the advice. i'll run this for a while and see how i like it, then i might try a different rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Good to know that you got it. Happy flashing! :D

Today i updated to a stock ics and the lick screen would not lock on password or pin or anything.

So i updated to custom kingdroid ics and am having the same problem

Any ideas

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
I have the same problem... screen locks if I press the power button but does not lock after 'screen timeout'.

Edit: Re-flashed (the same exact way) and that fixed the problem

It seems KD is pretty temperamental
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 84DGR:
Hmmmm I am just downloading the v7.1 I will flash that a couple of time and see what happens

EDIT --- I have tried flashing this rom a couple of times now and the same thing no lock screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] p0wder2:
Woops, I posted too soon. Although the rules didn't specifically mention it, after further reading I have determined that reporting / asking for help with issues relating to unrooted devices with stock firmware is not appropriate for this community.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will try my best to be more careful in the future.

Hello everyone, I managed to compile an initial release of CWM 6 but do not have time to test it ... I post, if anyone wants to try is always welcome

Flash at your own risk​
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] droidface:
wow cool!!

so, what's new?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Did you or build.clockworkmod.com built that? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] prafiles:
Screenshots? Working for anybody?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] patryk48:
I join to the questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
yes

Has yet to be tested, but I have not time

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gabrielking9:
Somebody have tested it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
It was really a bad idea to post this before testing (Sorry to sound rude)

As it is recovery, and someone flashes it and problems (if) occurred, then its too much pain and work to get reverted to normal.

Also, if you built using build.clockworkmod.com it is likely to occur the text not re-sized/optimized for LDPI properly, some text gets cut off.

If you'd built from source, you should have tested it, or at least give to some Testers via PM before releasing public.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] buzz173:
WTF? . my device bricked after flash this file . can't go to download mode . wrong key layout ( menu = up; home = down), back key doesn't works :mad:

EDIT: i'm going to downloading mode . my windows 8 release preview missing driver for downloading mode
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
@ OP: what are you doing? You had time to "build it", but didn't have time to test it? Probably he just wanted someone else to test it because was afraid of bricking his device.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
perhaps a video preview shownig it would be nice...then people will start trusting this build....just sayin
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
Can you post some screenshots? (on recovery)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
They are the stages all day, I would have time this evening about 8 hours in fact use a school computer and if I went away I would not have the phone close at hand odin
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Test it first and then make thread lol... this is not any competition or smth.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
Erm ... I have not forced anyone to test.

In fact I specified that it was not tested
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nvt992:
OK but you should have a BIG WARNING in your first post so member can decide to flash or not.this is very bad idea to flash a new cwm that is not tested.it's too dangerous.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
I was in a hurry, I recognize the error, but I warned
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] z3n0x1:
damn it.. it makes my phone can't push anything..! and can't touch anything..! T.T

i Have to Flash it all over again..! :I Back to STOCK..!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Messi10:
no need just flash cmw touch flashable via odin by yagya
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hrk:
Guys, get a grip. GT-S5570 can't be bricked if you flash a wrong recovery or a wrong kernel.

Bad kernel? -> Boot into recovery and flash good one.

Bad recovery? -> Boot into download mode and flash CWM via Odin.

Thank Samsung you can't brick this device and can do all the experiments you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chemicalrage:
I disagree with wrong recovery. I had hard bricked my device flashing wrong recovery in ROM manager before . It wouldnt boot into downloading mode or turn on. I had tried all those Remove battery and other tutorials online, none of them were working. Even samsung service centre guys couldnt fix it and they ended up replacing the motherboard with a new one.(Assumption: Jtag dint work for them)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kirakun:
ROM manager is absolutely no no and will 99.99% brick your lovely mini, this is a fact, proven by many victims....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
Well, actually the recovery was maybe bad, but the problem actually that rom manager flashed stuff in the wrong places, which caused the bricking... I'm not saying this is 100 % true, but this is what i've heard.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] michie:
There are alot of unexpierenced people here who barely are able to flash a rom, they will panic and will not know what to do ;)

A big warning in a dev thread not to spam doesnt work so it wont work here either.

Please remove the link in first post as it has been tested and confirmed not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] radnou974:
I think that the cmw must be test before post because people can test it and get their device bricked, so open a private beta tester with people knows what they do and can help you to dev this cmw and when it works share it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Some months back I tried the ROM manager latest version at that time that supported SGM its name was in the list I downloaded cwm via it installed it but didn't noticed anything lol my recovery was still older one

neither there was any ROM there for our device at least my device was not bricked and I uninstalled it never used since then

So gyz don't i insult ROM manager it will obviously brick if u choose wrong device ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Winston O'Boogie:
Not everyone is as experienced with Android as you are. Inexperienced users usually think their phone is bricked when it isn't. Untested builds should not be posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
Really never had problems with ROM manager

I tested all, you have to bear the "buttons" and graphics
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hrk:
It wasn't a wrong recovery, it was a wrong flash. :) Using a recovery-update.zip wouldn't have caused it, as it is the case with this untested recovery.

I agree with you, I was just fed up with the "YOU WANT TO BRICK MY PHONE!" comments.

Anyway, this device has the worst forums I've seen, filled with thanks-whoring people who post dev topics with "coming soon" stuff, "steal" binaries and post them as their own, fork source then delete their repositories out of jealousy, keep their own (copied) source (0.001% of what makes a ROM) closed asking for donations and the like. So different from the HTC Dream, HTC Desire Z or Motorola Defy's forums I follow. It is really sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
:(

What can we do with this ?

I guess our moderator need to be strict ?

Sent from my Mobile Phone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hrk:
Not an issue with moderators, it's an issue with people.

Check this out: [JB] CM10 Android 4.1.1 for the Defy(+) the first post alone has 685 thanks without ever asking for them. Defy users have three main developers, each one has his own ROM (does it look familiar?), but instead of being jealous, they all share their code, they help each other and they have public repositories always up to date.

This should be the spirit of XDA.

Sorry for the long off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
You see, usually only young (~13-~16 y/o) people use cheap devices, because their parents don't buy them high-end devices, obviously. So mostly noobs are around here. I'm not offending anyone, but really, look how, for example, galaxy s2, nexus, s3 forums are organizes. and, btw, are you referring to me in your post? :eek:

EDIT: When I bought my Mini in May 2011 I didn't know anything about Android. If I had known that QVGA, LDPI, msm7227, armv6 s*cks now, I hadn't bought this crap :/ But, whatever, this is my first smartphone :D Now have to wait till May 2013 to buy new device :( (2 year contract)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chemicalrage:
+1. Not to mention that guy called DQiB who spammed our dev section with LQ ports of other roms without testing. That idiot reported me to the most senior mod of xda and I got him banned for good last time. :) Something has to be done. Why dont you take up the initiative to become galaxy mini section's moderator? Since you are already a recognized developer, maybe it would be easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Daigo:
There were few people who work on our device, plus many users do not understand where to ask, especially when they stop to ask the ETA.

I admit my mistake not to have the text before posting, but as said @ hrk (which is the same thing I always thought too) our device does not break unless you corrupt the bootloader, which does not happen with a recovery.

Plus I think you should know that the repair stations do almost anything to get money, like every person in the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ashiqputtur:
+1, hrk would be a good moderator for this forum...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
That pretty much sums up galaxy mini forum, it's simply sh!te... I know that I was acting like a d!ckhead meself, but at least I'm not a thankwhore lol. Seriously, some peeps here seem to think that thank meter makes them better, but in fact it's just useless. It won't give you food, or anything. And that recovery, well... bollocks! Posting something without giving it a go yourself? Shame on you!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Winston O'Boogie:
@TheWhisp, have you taken your rom down? Or is my xda app just not showing it?

If you recognize yourself in the description, don't look at me, look at you. :angel:

If you really want to ask me a question, ask me "Did I really do the same as Maclaw, by deleting my published sources?" :p

JB runs amazing on this crap device. I was seriously amazed at it. That's why I tried to contribute :highfive:, and your ROM was the most open one.

There are two issues with what you wrote.

1. If given moderator's rights, I'd ban everyone. I'm not a good moderator, I am a cowboy. :cowboy:

2. It's not a matter of more moderators. It's a matter of people. If people contribute in the open instead of being jealous of their work, good work will follow. Unfortunately it takes a single "smarter guy" to ruin the mood of other developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ashiqputtur:
True.. thewhisp (with rohan) is the 3rd developer who took initiative and made some good work. Earlier tj style and squadzone were here. Everyone else as far as I remember, they just change the theme, add/delete some apps and some scripts and give it a new name. And some others port roms and don't care about bugs. No creativity. This is my personal opnion. Pls pardon me if I hurt anyone's feelings..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Totally agree with you....

We used to have few excellent developers like you did with your HTC handset.... The initiator tj_style along with squadzone and parasmi. They made different type of rom with high quality and shared their skills as well. Don't know why tj_style left the development as well as this forum, then squadzone came in and he was the best developer who introduced lots of changed to cyanogenmod 7 rom and named it cyanmobile (it's awesome and you'll know it when you try it). But, due to noobs question all over his dev thread and other people copying his rom and posting as new rom with a new name and new theme, he left this forum and gradually the development for galaxy mini as well. Parasmi seems to be busy and come rarely to this forum but, he has and is doing a great job.

now you look at the roms in devs section, most of the rom are just a duplicate with a new theme. What makes me laugh is that some rom are just a build.prop edit with custom (manually) changelogs and the physology of the rom users regard that to be awesome bug free roms while the same rom by another developer is buggy. :D Oh well, leave it anyway, now I think it's the end of development of galaxy mini s5570. And I need to get myself a new handset soon (but don't know how many more years it will take :( ).

This doesn't mean, all other are fake. What Maclaw introduced for galaxy mini users and TheWhisp is doing now is great as well and there might be others who have spent time actually working on a rom. I thank all for doing so. But, the mess in the development forums with themed roms is just ridiculous. There's a separate sub forum for posting themes and apps.

Another thing is that the users here are very lazy as well (no offense intended). They want everything to be fed up so keeping asking same questions many time spamming a thread, while a simple search could have get them their answer.

LOL! Now this is getting really long and I am afraid if it might appear in xda portal. :) Anyway, what I meant is just behave nicely at the forums, do some homework on your part as well and finally post themes in themes and app sub forum and not in development thread.

No offense meant... Peace :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] michie:
Thats the reason xda exists, to keep pushing updates to the devices while the manufacturers already gave up a long time ago ;)

It still has potential.

Anyway, we are going way off topic here, better to remove the link in OP till we have a tested/working version.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ashiqputtur:
Where is the moderator? Either lock this topic or move it to general section.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Evil_Genius2496:
LOL! True. XDA has become a noobland for a lot of devices. I even won't be surprised if junk threads are created in the "Original Development" forum. Something needs to be done.. But what!?:p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Well, actually I deleted them because I wanted to upload the new one, ( I know I could have just pushed the update, but there were too much changes and it would be a mess ) Then I realized that I have unclean ramdisk files, a lot of unnecessary stuff, so I decided clean that up first, and I'm still waiting for Rohan to clean the ramdisk. (As I said in the IRC). And the truth is, I just hate when people take someone else's work and just re-create everything. I and Rohan, when JB source came out, started our work at like 11AM my time and sometimes even finished working on it at ~2AM (imagine + ~3-4h in India) (of course with some pauses). And we did that for about 2-2.5 weeks. And after that when someone claims your work as his, you wouldn't feel so good.. Of course I will push the sources when I feel they are ready for public.
