[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
First off, a huge thanks to our friend, Sextape! This leak is courtesy of him. All thanks and donations should go to him.

This leak is for the unreleased Samsung Epic 2 (SPH-D705)! It is build EG03. Build EG03 was an experimental build in preparation for the final build but where the decision was made to not release the phone this was the final build for it.

It is a Gingerbread based ROM and appears to be mostly compatible with the original Samsung Epic and the Samsung Epic 4G Touch with only minor modifications. I myself do not have an Epic to test on so I haven't been able to do much with it. I've played around with it on the E4GT and have had relative success porting it over but I've got to many other projects on my plate to spend too much time on it.

I am posting it here for those that are interested in taking on the challenge. :D

The leak is in a TAR format and contains all the image files for flashing. I've taken them apart and they appear to be very similar to the stock GB for the Epic and the E4GT.

The TAR file is packaged within a self extracting 7zip archive. The TAR file is packaged within a self extracting 7zip archive. Once extracted the contents can be flashed as a full TAR file with Odin or Mobile Odin. The individual components can be extracted from the TAR file and also be flashed the same way. Links to both Odin and Mobile Odin are in Post #2.

At this point I've only posted the full TAR. If there is enough demand I can split out the contents and create flashable ZIP etc.

Files: SPH-D705_EG03.exe

Enjoy!

[Epic 4G Android Development] nicenice19:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this is the old school Epic section. This was posted in the wrong forum.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
That was actually intentional. I talked to the mods and they felt that since the Epic and the E4GT were the closest phones to the

unreleased

Epic 2 that this would be the best place to post this. We're hoping that those here can use what we've posted to add to what we already have for the Epic.

Fingers crossed!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Perhaps a more efficient modem file included
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
I have learned here in Epic land, if it exists, it can and will be ported! I would imagine one of our resident pros will pick this up and port it...and people say development is dead around here??? HA!!!!

Edit: just realized Nash is looking...didn't take long!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Thanks bro, will do.:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Have u checked out the nexus modems?? Easily double the bandwidth!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Everybody is talking about Nexus modem but does it have better reception or better signal? I leave in poor Sprint signal area and was wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
OT, but yeah that's what folks are saying - getting signal where they couldn't before. Some say the signal costs them more battery though. But you won't know for sure till you try. ;) It's really low-pain now that you can flash full modem.bin's in CWM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
But is it still incompatible with CM9 and AOKP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
I've seen posts saying the patch works in beta tests but no release yet. See posts in correct thread. Read posts this page forward. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30655451&highlight=cm9#post30655451

I have a question; if this ROM in the OP is close to stock Gingerbread; is the OP saying it is Touchwiz? Sorry to be Joe Obvious, but I just wanted to clarify.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
Sorry I should've specified that. It is a TW build. :D

Thanks for sharing this with us man. Hopefully something good in there. Apparently most of us are drunk on jelly bean nexus modem juice. :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadowlink217:
uhh why is it an executable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
" The TAR file is packaged within a self extracting 7zip archive. "
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
Because it's a self extracting 7zip archive executable. There's a tar file in there. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Well this sounds interesting. I'll see what I can do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joemossjr:
Xboxfanj on the scene!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thank you rwilco12 and sextape.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Rwilco, do you know how to unpack the systemfs.img file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Hmm, in case you guys are wondering, the fabled Epic 2 was not simply a rehash of the Epic 1 (only higher clock speed), it had a Mali GPU (so I'm assuming it had the same SOC as the Epic Touch).
[Epic 4G Android Development] joemossjr:
Have you tried it yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Not yet, just got it fully extracted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
if the fs was rfs, you can try

mount -o loop

on linux

I forgot the app name to mount it on windows..
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I figured it out. Thanks though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AOD_Corwin:
Not available for cm9
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
it's already available now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
So um, does this mean we Epic 4G can't Odin it in? Eager to see what's this really, but can't afford a bricked phone...
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
No... you can't odin this... hopefully xboxfanj can work his magic when he has some time....
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
Sorry I went camping with my boy last night. I'm back now though. Did you get everything unpacked?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yup. Just need to unpack the zImage. Is there anything I will need other than the zImage and systemfs.img? Do I need to unpack hidden.img?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
Nope. Hidden.img is specific to the partition on the Epic 2.

Can you do me a favor and link to whatever you come up with here? I'd like to see the finished product. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
I smell an EG03 Cut&Paste coming in the near future. Thank you rwilco12 and xboxfanj. Hey jake, do you think you will be able to make one of the TW kernels compatible with the crespo modem? That would be awesome.:cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] joemossjr:
If you have some knowledge of building from git and source you could build one your self by cherry picking
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Tw works a bit differently, since its closed source and the ramdisk is layed out differently (instead of init.device.rc and ueventd.device.rc, everything is in init.rc and ueventd.rc, which is a bit different than what I am used to). I will work on it after epic 2 though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joemossjr:
That's what I though cuz I never seen source for a touchwiz kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Tw kernel source exists. All kernel sources should theoretically exist by law and by the gpl license.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joemossjr:
So is there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yes. I was only saying theoretically because there are some exceptions. Any company doing business in the US (or most places besides China, where the GPL seems to not be focused on) must provide kernel sources. HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony, Huawei, and ZTE give kernel sources. If we didn't have kernel sources, there wouldn't be custom kernels, nor would there be any CM9/10 for our device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
You mean the cm team isn't magical and didn't just pluck the code from the sky? They used it from someone else? Wow, I would've never guessed! Lmao! Sorry xboxfan had to....
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadowlink217:
Do we have any idea what features this has or are you guys just porting it assuming it'll have cool stuff?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I assume it's similar to the Epic Touch's software, but with keyboard features like a landscape capable launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
So umm....when will this be released?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
The phone? Never. :(

Basically sales of the Epic 4G Touch were way higher than expected so the Epic 2 was tabled. They are now focusing on the GS2 and GS3 form factor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Patience my friend, no ETA's. Xboxfanj is a very busy guy and he is a nice enough guy to look out for the tw guys still around. When he does myself or maybe even Kenny will put something together for The People;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] milky1112:
Usually never wanna ask for ETA's. Our Devs do this because they enjoy it. They have lives, families, jobs, and various other things that keep them busy. Most of us are thankful they do devote time to helping us folks out who haven't figure this mess out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Good points, but I can put it in even more simple terms:

In a society where we are all clamouring to find the next big thing to share with the community, when is the last time someone discovered something new and thought, "I'll wait until someone asks about this, then I'll share it" ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] milky1112:
Oh common styles, They do this all the time :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
It's just like Go Fish. We don't share unless someone says, "Got any ROMs?" "Go Fish." "Got any Fours?"

But in all seriousness, the ETA asking thing doesn't make much sense. I'm not a business, I'm not thinking "Ooh if I release this around holiday time, people will get it for Christmas." I try to release everything when it's ready, why would I hold on to something for myself until next thursday for example so I could give an ETA?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
I meant the rom

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Agreed. Anyone who can get a leaked ROM of a device canceled about a year before deserves it. Do you have any information on what happened to the D705?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Basically sales of the Epic 4G Touch were way higher than expected so the Epic 2 was tabled. They are now focusing on the GS2 and GS3 form factor.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I saw rwilco12 said that. I was just wondering if sextape had any additional insight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mcluvin1065:
Yea i didnt know to quote your quote with his quote
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
lolwut?
[Epic 4G Android Development] josidhe:
Funny thing is, it gets harder to learn the older you get, because the learning skills we build as we grow up work directly against the things that make learning this sort of thing easy/fun.

As an adult, we try to learn things "correctly" and efficiently, without wasting time or making any mistakes (learning things we'd have to later 'unlearn'). So we grab a 1000 page book or find something on opencourseware and approach it systematically--this is all wrong.

I remember being younger and learning HTML, QBASIC, and even that weird type of ASM used to write games for TI graphing calculators. I enjoyed it, had a bunch of free time to tinker and just sort of screw around, and I learned a lot. I could never approach learning something that way these days, at my age (30), working a full-time job that takes up a ton of my mindspace, maintaining a relationship and being active. Screwing around at a computer makes me feel overwhelmingly like I'm going to turn 90 tomorrow and need to stop wasting time. ^^;
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Actually I do
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Anything you can share?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Device had same processor as d700 not sure if they clocked it different

Camera were upgraded nothing really amazing maybe that's why it was dropped
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
That is wrong at least as of this build. It has a Mali GPU in this ROM, so I can assume it uses the Exynos 4 SOC.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
Does anyone know if the spec's were any different with the epic2? Did it have a higher ram capacity? More internal storage? Anything that would have made it more efficient to run ICS or JB? Although, the cm team, epicmtd and all the other devs out there including Jake have made it run pretty sweet on this phone. And now with the crespo modem to boot. Pun intended:p

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Probably no more ram since 1gb was max at that time. Definitely a larger system partition so likely more internal storage. Dual core and better gpu. Same as epic touch but with kb and smaller screen most likely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I'll check the change log it does contain hardware info .
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yeah all the leaks had said hummingbird processor, so I was very surprised about exynos4 here, but as of this build, its definitely exynos4.

Did the d705 started showing up around the same time as the Samsung stratosphere?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Touchwiz 4 along with any s2 functions we assume. Darkierawr is working on the deodex and some framework files have errored.

Did TW4 make a difference, in anyones humble opinion?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Not really... lol... I like it though... I have always been a tw and a sense fan though so I'm probably the wrong one to comment on it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] shadowlink217:
Has anyone checked the see if the launcher is compatible with our framework?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
It is with some hacks. I did some of those on EH17.

For those that are interested I managed to track down the RDF for this build. Has some interesting things about the devices intended specs and such (remember to view in IE).

[Epic 4G Android Development] rwilco12:
This is here because the Epic is the closest phone to the Epic 2 which was never released. This is the firmware for the engineering build. There were some updates to apps and such from what was on the original Epic to what was available here.

I received permission from the mods to post it here for devs to try to port to the Epic.

I know xboxfanj was working on porting it and was having some success but had some other stuff come up.

With all the GS2 customizations out there waiting for guys to flash in, I don't mind if this port never makes its way to public. TW 4.5 by fr4gg0r already makes the device GS2-ish and to me it's enough.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pickarooney:
I picked up my tablet the other day to find a three centimetre gouge across the middle of the screen. I had left it in its protective case out of all harm's way and am mystified as to how so-called fortified glass can scratch. This afternoon I've found two more similar sized scratches. I'm absolutely livid that a brand new device can scratch so easily (it's as if my fingertips are causing it to scratch, it's simply incredible)

Can anyone explain how exactly glass can scratch like this with no contact other than a user's fingers? I feel like chucking it in the bin as at this rate I won't be able to see the screen in a week :( Is it possible that there are tiny, invisible grains of sand on the screen and rubbing these is causing the gouges?

To anyone else who's bought or is planning on buying an A510, do yourselves a favour and get a screen protector.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] juzz86:
I'd recommend a screen protector on every device you use. Once bitten, twice shy :good:

Regardless of the marketing trash-talk, it is glass. Gorilla and other 'special' glasses do have a somewhat better resistance to scrapes and scratches than regular mineral glass but to be honest, Gorilla glass' best selling point is its lateral strength not its abrasion resistance, and even this isn't spectacular. In fact, most people tend to buy into the marketing and work Gorilla glass a little harder as they (rightly) expect more durability, then end up sorely disappointed.

I'd check the felt/lining of your protective case carefully for sand, tiny rocks, stray bits of plastic, wire poking through etc. Run over it completely with a piece of masking/packing tape on your fingers to remove strays. Then grab a screenie ASAP to prevent any more nasties :)

Sorry about your experience mate. I know it's heart-breaking.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Rusty_Gunn:
welcome to the club. i too though they would be a bit more resistant to scratches, but i discovered a couple faint scratches too, then i promptly went looking for a screen protector.

murphys law though, a screen protector never gets scratched, and only annoys you.
