[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cetvxs:
Hey guys,

After two years of use, I finally managed to shatter the screen on my HTC EVO 4G. Now that I'm due for an upgrade, I'm going with Epic Touch 4G as LTE network won't be in my area for another year.

I've been browsing the forums and after lots of reading, my head is spinning.

There's all these acronyms.. like FF18 I don't understand.

I'm getting a brand new Samsung SII Epic Touch 4G tomorrow from a Sprint Store.

I plan on using some form of Cyanogenmod if available.

There are TONS of root threads that I've found - Where do I start? Which one should I go with?

Sorry if it's noobie questions, but I appreciate any answers. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
Read the stickies sections in the forums. Ff18 is a ice cream sandwich build, its just the build date. F=2012 f=June 13th. Fh13= 2012 August 13th etc. Qbking77 has helpful videos on YouTube. Just read in the forums a lot and read the stickies section and you will pick it up. Enjoy the phone. It depends on what build you are on to root. Sfhub has one clicks for every build I think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Peter41x:
You're better off going to qbking77 videos on YouTube. He is really credible and will help you get comfortable with roms on this device. After a few roms you will more easily download and flash roms on your own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
That's exactly what I did, I found that it was weird I had to on some roms flash modem and kernel separate. I'm still getting used to flashing roms on this phone. But so far i like it and haven't had any crappy comments on my questions or had my questions ignored. This is a decent group of people here willing to help out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Peter41x:
I have never had to flash a rom that required you to flash a modem. are you rooted? go to settings, about phone, go down to kernel version and tell me what you see. for me i have fh13. if you are on the official samsung version it should be after sph-d710 (two letters and two numbers no spaces)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
No rom will require a modem to be flashed. As modems are sepreate from the roms. Only time you will flash a rom/kernel/modem all in one is the one click .tar odin. You can flash modems independently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
This is a good phone with a strong community. You will be happy :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
running stock rooted fh13 with the fh23 modem flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Peter41x:
get mobile odin $5 on the playstore or pirate. it will allow you to flash a rom with clockworkmod and then follow the specific rom instructions.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
Perhaps I misspoke, I still have a lot to learn about this phone. Either way, point being this is a good group.

Funny part is I switch phones so often ill have this one for 6 months tops. Then ill finally have the swing of it and then ill go on to something else learning that phone. I dont post a lot, but I do a lot of reading. So welcome to the forum!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Peter41x:
can i get a thanks lulz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiffTirkle:
Got it a few weeks ago. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cetvxs:
Hey guys, thanks so much for all the help.

I have successfully rooted my Epic 4G Touch and flashed CM9 Alpha 6 on it.

Thanks SO much to QBKing77 for his very intuitive and simple videos.

My next question involves CM9 and Wireless Hotspot

I noticed that whenever I activate Hotspot, my 4G disconnects and falls back to 3G.

I have searched on Google and saw that this is a relatively common problem, but is there a fix? If not, are there any other AOSP ICS-based ROMs I could use that have portable wifi hotspot available with 4G?

Thanks again guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I'm not to familiar with cm9 but I'm pretty sure there is a lot of nightly builds for cm9 better then alpha 6.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] shad24:
As the title suggests I have lost the headphones bundled with Galaxy R .

The model number I am getting is Samsung 3.5 mm jack Handsfree EHS44ASSBE where as the original ones were EHS44AFSBE.Are they the same thing and will I get similar sound or should I go ahead and buy something else?

Its available on flipkart cant add the link :(

Btw even on ebay i found only this model.. According to them it works for S2 so I guess it should work for Galaxy R also.Along with good music I need a mic also thus my need to get the original ones

What about HTC RC-E190 It has pretty decent reviews and is compatible with S2 (so i guess should work with R)

It has three buttons and has flat wires
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] josjator:
There are different models, even if they look identical. Just take care you get the ones with the white stripes in the jack. But you should take another earphones, as those have a bad quality compared to the i9000 ones (too middlish freq response). Check out the thread of earphones in this section for example.

[LG Nitro HD] Chipmunk888:
Thank you for sharing your ROM! =)

Will add this in my collections and usage very soon!! ( Im always chage ROMs frequently & in cycles! hehehe; I love Android modifications, ROMs, and improvements )
[LG Nitro HD] Chipmunk888:
UPDATE:

Downloaded and installed your ROM. Cannot pursue due to the initial setup which is the wizard in choosing of Language , Date, Timezone, and Time crashes. And when it crashes (the initial setup wizard), it brings back again and again..

Any fix?

Thank you
[LG Nitro HD] Chipmunk888:
UPDATE:

I flashed first to Chuyeenho184's V163 ICS ROM then after, reflashed to this ROM of yours. Now it continues already without the Language initializing setup, I dont know why.. Unlike when I was with another CM9 then flashed to this, it asks for a Language initializing setup then cannot continue as it crashes, vice versa.

Currently using your ROM. Its fast, and battery life is good when on standby by same with other ROMs which drains quite fast when used (I have to recalibrate the battery yet and observe). Sadly, I experienced several bootups/restarts when watching HD videos in MXPlayer, I dont know why..

[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Hi guys!!

I was out yesterday night with some friends and one of them had a S2, so I asked if I could test drive it.

It had stock ICS (4.0.3), versus my P990 with temasek's (almost) latest ROM and vadonka's kernel.

I have to say... other than the screen (that is a lovely 4.3" vs P990's 4") and the phone is practically the same size, so that's very cool... but other than that, I don't regret my buy one bit. The P990 feels smoother and is more responsive, navigating through menus, homescreens and even web browsing!

So all I have to say... congratulations to all dev's, and congratulations LG for putting together a very nice piece of hardware (even if the software is not up to par).
[LG Optimus 2x] Rutifruti:
But Samsung Galaxy S2 is still overpriced!:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] corsav6:
Be proud of your lg, no network in ireland sell any good lg devices, they think we all want iphone or sammy.
[LG Optimus 2x] rjjcvb:
But surely the stock s2 is way better then o2x...

Maybe s2 cm7 is better then o2x?? Anyone confirm this?? (the specs of s2 seems better)
[LG Optimus 2x] Dekudan:
Having used my O2X alongside my Dad's GS2, I can't think of any redeemable qualities that our phone has. The screen on the the S2 is nicer, it's bigger, it's thinner, it has better support from Samsung, it's faster. It's just better.
[LG Optimus 2x] galaxyfitankit:
You just can't compare with s2 ...probably with s advance when 2x with cm7 and s advance with stock...and if with lg stock than you can compare with there galaxy ace...lg stock software is way behind
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Who cares, currently the o2x is poo it need ics or jellybean all the roms or gingerbread and froyo suck.
[LG Optimus 2x] dorwoo:
I wouldnt trade mine for s2 tho i like its bigger screen.Much better design for 2x.

Sent from my LG-P990
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Dude, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Sure, stock GB sucks a*s, but Temasek's CM7, Stefan's Hybrids, TonyP's PA (and more) are fast and v stable. I am actually very happy w my o2x and as i mentioned b4 Temasek's CM7 has been a cure for my flashaholism for months now. On the subject, i couldn't comment because i haven't seen a sgs2 in action, but i suspect that it would do a bit more than the o2x due to specs.. In the end though, it all comes down to software (as all here know..)
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Like KoolSavas said... it's not only about the android version!

I don't know what you use your phone for... but I use it to make phone call, send text messages, check facebook, check my stocks/bank account, play some poker, ocasionally surf the web and do google searches, take the ocasional picture, stuff like that...

So doesn't matter what's the android version, I want what makes my experience smoother and more enjoyable.

Having said this, I wasn't trying to say that O2X was better than the S2 in an absolute way.

I haven't compared stock O2X vs stock S2, but I do believe that stock S2 will probably fare better in that comparison.

What I did mean to say was that thanks to our dear developers my O2X can not only hold its own, but it actually looks smoother and more responsive than an S2. Of course, if someone were to put CM10 on the S2 it would probably be even better, but that wasn't my point.

And please do not forget that the price tag of an S2 is quite different from the price tag of an O2X.

That's all!
[LG Optimus 2x] Ximo F. Verde:
Thats really a VERY important factor.. While o2x price has plumbed, the sgs2 is still quite pricey considering its age. To be fair, i think that now would probably be the best time ever to buy an o2x. Right b4 the ICS update, enough time to play around with a few ROMs and hello ICS(/CM10?)
[LG Optimus 2x] N3mesis:
Buying an o2x would be simply more clever. In germany the price difference is between 100-115€. There is no really good reason to buy the S2. Also the o2x is with its 4'IPS more ergonomical. I would wait until ICS is released then buy the o2x, its worth the money.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
True, but the colors (from 3 devices i have seen) are WAY of.

All 3 had blue or green tint in color or gray scale :(
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I agree with the first part but I actually I don't agree with the last part... (about the 4" IPS)...

What impressed me the most (or maybe the only thing that impressed me) about the S2 was that, even though both phones have practically the same size, the S2 manages to have that extra .3" compared to the O2X (the O2X wastes a lot of screen space at the bottom).

So I'm pretty much convinced my next phone will have at least 4.3".
[LG Optimus 2x] sspunkky:
Other than the software support from Samsung, I dont think there is much difference in other areas.

But I would give up my O2X for S2 just for that quick software upgrades S2 enjoys...
[LG Optimus 2x] syl0n:
Its good that you think O2x is good. But the reality is, the S2 has better hardware, its faster and it has better support. Official JB is going to land for the S2 in October.

And to the guy that posted gaming video, I raise you this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYkEUOA6Spo

Yes thats 1080p Youtube in browser, O2x has been reduced to a slide-viewer.
[LG Optimus 2x] cpvm:
My friend has a s2 and it's faster but the screen looks green
[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
i have a friend with an s2 (stock GB) and my o2x with tony's ICS is way smoother and better looking. As much as i want to, the o2x simply isn't a better phone but the fact that we have rooted and flashed custom roms (thanks DEVs) we are able to overcome the shortages and even beat the better phone. YEY grey matter.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
you cannot compare by watching a stupid youtube video and since you dont own an SII yourself you obviusly dont know the deal

I own both the O2X and the SII which I got after having gone through 4 defective O2X's - and the one I got now still doesnt work bugfree

The SII blow the O2X away in everything and Im just on stock rom for both the SII and the O2X

- it NEVER lags, it has tons better memory management and 1gb ram, meaning nomatter what I do or how long I've had my phone running, or how much I multitask, it NEVER runs out of memory and slows down or starts to lag. Its buttersmooth allways

Samsung constantly sends out updates for it, and its now running stock 4.04 ics - its bugfree, everything works perfect.

Samsung will be sending out jelly bean for it before we even get ICS for O2X

Screen is lots better - not just bigger but looks better.

Batterytime is better - I can go 2-3 days on my SII and only 1 day on the O2X with the same usage pattern

Videoplayback is lots better than O2X which cannot play high profile h264 - my SII plays every video perfect

Camera is lots better, both regular camera and videocamera

Design is better, buildquality is better

It has more internal memory 16gb vs 8gb

Sound quality when playing music is better

I mean anything you can think of comparing is just better on the SII - and the overall feel when using it and everything just works, constantly, is a blessing.

I loved my O2X when I got it, and I stuck by it for a long time before getting the SII - but Im sorry to have to say theres just no comparison at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I'm sorry to hear about your very bad experience with the O2X spawndk.

If I were in your situation I would most probably share your exact same opinion. (Un)fortunately, at this moment, I believe I have tweaked my O2X to the best of its capabilities.

I think you were very unlucky with your O2X's, thus your opinion is clearly biased. There are a lot of users in this forum quite happy with their O2X's, as I am, so I don't think your comparison would be true to most people.

I don't think the O2X is better than an S2, nor should it be, as they are not direct competitors (price-wise). I just think that, all things considered, an O2X is not a regrettable choice (for me, and perhaps for most people).
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
How can you say the 2x is better?

Tegra2 is crippled, the stock browser by LG is **** while the Samsung's optimizations is iphone-like. Plus the Mali 400 GPU destroyes the tegra2.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I couldn't watch the video 'til now... OMG the S2 has serious issues in 3D performance (Shrek kart)!!!

I'm never gonna look back now! :D
[LG Optimus 2x] dinhluan92:
GS2 better, faster, and stronger
[LG Optimus 2x] icyeye:
sucks? hehe...u dont know what u talking about tbh!

well...did u try this one ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1464986 ) or u just want ICS/JB so that u can only say to your friends that U got it , regardless how this one is so smooth and got the best from booth CM / LG?
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Because if you did, you wouldent be stupid enough to base your opinion on a 1½ year old youtube video, which shows nothing but how some silly games ran on the 2 devices at that time. The development on the SII from Samsung has been enourmeous since then, while the O2X basically has stood still

You dont compare phones by watching a video of how a few games run on the devices, and certainly not some anxient video

Theres alot more to a phone than just running games - I bought a smartphone, not a psp

To cut our debate short you have no clue what youre talking about.
[LG Optimus 2x] galaxyfitankit:
2x may be ****....but in build and design don't argue ok 2x is way better in design and build all Samsung phone all I mean all galaxy not wave series ate piece of plastic and looks cheap ...choose any model....and regarding screen 2x has iPs screen which is the best of its kind and amoled looks good Coz of oversaturation of colors that's it....and you just can't compare Coz there's huge difference in price for a .3 inch thickness ...and yes battery of s2 is better I agree..
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
so one game ran smoother on the O2x 1½ years ago, and you deduct that because of this the S2 has serious issues and the O2x is better :silly:
[LG Optimus 2x] Zoldborso:
So you are comparing a faulty o2x with an s2?

And don't tell me it's build quality and design is better. If your eyes are more pleased when seeing a full black plastic piece, you really have to see a doctor.

And, having 4 defective phones definitely changes your views.

Your stock GS2 can never beat a temasek cm7 (big props to temasek for his awesome work) that's a fact. I've got to use both phones and that's not how it works. When they run in a fair fight though and the s2 runs a custom made rom too, it will beat the o2x of course. I would like to have an s2, but this phone's bang for the buck factor is unbeatable, and I'm a student with not much money in my hands.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Now thats a good answer

Seriously im not biased at all, I still have the O2x and if you noticed in my first post I said loved it when I got it and stuck with it for a long time

The fact that so many needed repairs doesnt change my opinion that basically the concept of the phone is good, for the price I think it has good hardware, it just got ruined by the software from LG (and/or Nvidia) and the constant lack of updates to fix the software aswell as the wait for ICS and LG constantly breaking their promises about update schedules

So, what Im saying is not that I dont like the O2x or that its not a good phone (in concept) - but when people start saying that its better than the SII like CoolSavas did they clearly dont have a clue what they talk about, just because we may like something doesnt mean its better than everything else - and the O2x isnt better than the SII in any way whatsoever. This is a fact. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
First of all, seriously, no one has been that rude to you, so you're WAY out of line here... I started this thread because I wanted to testify as I had made a brief comparison between my O2X and an S2 just browsing through the UI and some web surfing... and the S2 didn't seem all that great to me, which made me happy about my choice on the O2X.

Now, I understand your point about the video being old, but how about if you would just show us a video/comparison of the S2 blowing the O2X away instead of being rude to others?

EDIT: To answer to your last post, "being better" is a very subjective topic, but there's one thing that the O2X is better than the S2 in a very objective way... it's still 100 EUR less than the S2.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
No, im not comparing a faulty O2x with an SII, my O2x isnt faulty, its just filled with bugs like every single other O2x is. The ones I had to have replace was faulty in different ways but that does not affect how I look at the O2x. I have mentioned all the ways I think the SII is better, not because my O2x is faulty but just because the SII are better in these areas. Its not a fault that the O2x has less ram than the SII, its not a fault that the O2x suffers from memoryleaks and the SII doesnt, its just bad programming from LG, its not a fault that the screen is bigger or the camera is better etc. so no Im not comparing fault with not fault

Plastic ?

The O2x use more plastic than the SII and the backcover which is the only plasctic part on the SII are of much better quality on the SII than the plastic back cover on the O2x - try bending the O2x plastic back cover and it will break, try bending the SII backcover and it will bend all the way without breaking.

never beat temasek ? in what exactly ? comparing phones is not about comparing some score in a test suite where the O2x can only beat the SII if using a custom overclocked rom - firstly you gotta compare stock vs stock or custom vs custom, secondly comparing phones is about all the things I mentioned in my earlier post. Its comparing how it actually works, and what actually works - temasek custom rom doesnt change that. The screen is still better, the camera is still better, it still has no bugs, it still never runs out of memory, it still doesnt lag when installing apps like the O2x, it still plays video the O2x cant play, it still has better battery etc. etc. etc.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Im not being rude, Im making a point to the posts made by KoolSavas arguing that the O2x blow the SII - which is simply just wrong.

Yes, its still cheaper than the SII, and yes its still a bang for the buck phone (or hopefully it will be if they ever manage to make a working firmware without all the bugs) - I fully agree on that

As to showing a video, sure I can show a video, but the point is that a video doesnt show anything in regards to all the factors where the SII is better so a video is rather pointless. A video doesnt show the bugs of the O2x or the lack of bugs on the SII, etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
my mom has a galaxy s2.

and you know what, i like my o2x better. for example i like o2x screen better than the oled of the s2. its just waaayy nicer and brighter (especially the white colors, they look so lame on the s2). the only thing the s2 screen does better than my o2x is the blacks (no duh) and the viewing angles, but i see no real advantage to boast the "blacks" of the screen when every other color is so much lamer.

and the build quality of the white s2 that my mom has is not the greatest. the materials feel so cheap and when you look at the back cover (white version has no textured back what so ever) you can clearly see how uneven and smudged by finger prints it is. its just pure ugly.

I envy the galaxy s2 only for 2 things:

the camera (its just better, no other way to put this)

and the anti finger print screen coating. that sh!t is just amazing. the glass of that phone is less smudged that the back roflmao. (of the white version i mean)

PS the o2x audio quality is way better.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
yes, the whites are better on the O2x, thats true for every IPS vs Amoled screen, but the SII screen is better in every other way, not just blacks - and if one doesnt like saturated colors, the SII has 3 different color modes to chose from, dynamic (which gives saturated colors), filmmode (which makes the colors and contrast suited for viewing videos) and a standard mode which makes the colors natural rather than saturated

I dont like the white SII design either, but I cant agree that the SII materials feels cheap - thats a myth

Design is a matter of choise, we cant really argue design and I certainly respect if someone likes the design of the O2x over the SII, actually if viewing only the front I personally like the design of the O2x better with the glas sliding down at the sides. But judging the overall design I prefer the design of the black SII and its textured back over the brown backside of the O2x, the back of the O2x just looks bad and gets ugly from wear so quick - I allways felt the backside took the design down alot - if only the backside was as elegant as the front, the design would have been a killer. I allways hoped some third party company would have designed a new backcover for it, but no.
