Actually what you asking for is already done.

My AGAT_v0.5.0 kernel is plain source kernel with init.d, boot animation support and my recovery.

I made that kernel when new FH13 source dropped down. It has no other tweaks whatsoever.

So instead of repack you can use 0.5.0.

But just a side note.

Kernel source has more than 60,000 files and when new build dropps with new kernel it's no way to say what has been changed or edited in those files.

We have no way to take a zImage file apart to look inside it. All we can do is extract initramfs (kernel header) from zImage edit it for init.d, bootanimation and custom recovery suppot and pack it back into zImage (hence repack). This gives us an opportunity to evaluate sammies kernel and get an idea if anything has been chaged/edited to improve battery life, speed, performance etc.

That is why along with source build kernels I always make a repack as well for:

1. Those who like all stock but wants to have custom recovery.

2. Eveluate new kernel to see if there are any improvements.

Hope this answers you concerns and questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I was not aware of that and will try it out thanks! And the repack would be exactly what I prefer, because I prefer to be close to stock with recovery. But I don't want to flash kernels back and forth whenenver I want to install something from the market that won't install. I know I am just lazy but still :). As always I appreciate your hard work and at some point if you ever get LOTS of time :) I would like to learn how to build kernels and edit recovery myself. I think it would be a good learning experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
1. If you want that close to stock experience try to recreate my steps for

rom and kernel. I don't have any problems or issues with your rom and my repack.

Just flash your rom in recovery and Mobile ODIN my repack and see if it takes care of your problems.

If it does you can try to add my repack to your rom zip along with nessessary edits to updater-script to flash kernel along and

see if works as well. If it does you will be all good.

2. If you wanna wait for me to have a time it might never happen. :p

Too many ideas and plans.

Right now I'm looking into GSIII kernel for instance.

Best way would be to hit me up at IRC chat.

I spend a lot of time on #ics-dev-e4gt channel.

Same nick. It's fast and easy and we can talk there and do it one step at the time.

Most evenings and lot of weekends I'm on that channel.

Look me up and we will go from there. One thing I can tell you now. If you wanna make kernels and/or recoveries

you will need a linux machine. If you don't have it installed make sure you have it. All kernel develpment is done in linux.

I have my laptop at dual boot and running win7 alongside with Ubuntu 11.10.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Thank you I really appreciate that. I do have the latest Ubuntu running in a virtual machine so that is taken care of.

Off topic sort of - Have you looked into TWRP before? That is something I would love to have on the E4GT. I never used it until I got the S3 but it is great. I saw that it was released on one of the leaks but never updated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
1. I used to have virtual machine but then I decided to go with dual boot.

I have Quad core machine with 8GB ram and I did assign 4GB for VM. Kernel compiles in 50-55 min (sometimes longer).

With dual boot kernel compiles in 5-7 min. Time saving is huge. And when you test build you really gonna need it.

I would suggest you go with dual boot as well. There is small utility that can make a dual boot in 5 min for you. It called wubi.exe.

It's restricted to 30GB disk size (can't created an ubuntu disk larger than that). Try it and if you see same time emprovment you can than change partitions and install larger disc. Right now I have my 750 GB disk split almost in half. 400 for win and 350 for ubuntu.

Just thinking outloud here.

2. TWRP. When the project started I was kinda following it but at the beginning there were reports of problems and wrhong modules and

4G not working etc. I stoped following it. I think it can be repacked into our current kernels but I never tried it. Theoretically we can take any kernel with TWRP and extract initramfs to examine recovery.rc, recovery.fstab and other files and try to match our files to them and use TWRP recovery binary and see what will happen.

Set up your environment and hit me up at IRC. I'll walk you thru repack process and you can try to do it yourself.

It will be good learning experience and you will be working on reall task. I think this is a good idea, don't you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Sounds like a great idea! I have parent teacher night today so tomorrow I will setup a dual boot. I will hit you on IRC once everything is done and see if you are available. I really appreciate you working with me. I am looking forward to learning something new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No problem.

Most of what I know and what I do today I did learn from great devs on that channel.

I'm forever greatfull to Chris41g, interloper, inxane, vampirefo and other devs who helped me every step of the way to get me where I am now.

I hope I can be as helpfull as they were because knowing something doesn't mean you can teach. Not everyone can be a couch and trainer.

Let us start and we will see where it takes us. If there will be questions that I can't answer (and I'm sure there will be because I'm just scratching

the surface here) on that channel we will find all the help we need to sucseed.

P.S. Good luch with the conference. My youngest kid is 25 so I'm long past all those conferences but it doesn't mean it's any easier now.

Little kids - little problems.

Big kids - Big problems. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
LOL thanks for that :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Luckily I'm still on *very* little so sounds like I've got time to prepare for the big problems... :)

Sorry to potentially hijack the thread, but since it looks like I'm not the only one interested...

I was thinking of imaging the VM disk so I can just move it out of the VM and onto a valid partition.

Anyone tried that? Took a while to get it where it is already, don't want to have to start over again...

The other option I'm looking at is a hypervisor but not sure how Win 7 x64 will like that....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Haven't gone that direction yet but I did find this a while back that I haven't gotten around to testing yet.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
Not sure if this is known, or a case of wrong zip or wrong label/comment.

But, when i download and flash the CWM zip, my kernel version is reported as FH23.

I Odin'ed the tar and it does not look the same...

I redownloaded and tried again as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Actually starting FH23 kernel version is not shown at all.

It shows only kernel compile/issue date.

It should say Sep 3 somewhere in kernel version.

Would you please check it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
Ok, just flashed FI03_Agat.zip.

Kernel version reported from settings/about/phone:

3.0.15-SPH-D710.FH13-CL663858

So, sorry I meant to say FH13 and not FH23; but yeah looks like wrong zip or something.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Villain123:
I installed the completely stock rooted FH23 rom from Garwin that wipes all data a few days ago through my computer, I then flashed your tFH23 kernel so I could flash calkulin's bare rom converter as well as the FH23 Hotspotmod-Odexed, then flashed FH23 stock kernel to go back to the stock kernel and then today flashed FI03 nodata V2 through mobile odin , I then flashed your tFH23 kernel again so I could flash calkulin's bare rom converter as well as the FI03 Hotspotmod-Odexed, then flashed FI03 stock kernel, just like I had when I first installed the FH23 stock rooted rom and everything is working well.

I just saw this and like the idea of being able to flash future zips and having a recovery so I downloaded the tar and flashed it with mobile odin. After I was unable to move apps to my sd card and apps that I had previously moved to it did not show up. I just flashed back to the stock FI03 kernel and all apps show up and I am able to move them back and forth from sd card to phone.

I hope this helps and thank you for all you do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It will help me you can try to do following.

Move apps from sd to phone.

Flash repack.

Try to move apps to sd again.

I think when apps are already on sd card new kernel is not finding them.

It looks like some symliks are broke after flashing kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Villain123:
I will do this when I get home this evening and have a few minutes to move everything back to the phone and then let you know the results. Thanks for the advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
This is what i got after flashing this recovery. App showed prior to flashing the recovery. Deleted the grayed out app and it still refuses to install. Stock rooted fi03 v2 by garwinn. Installed recovery with mobile Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Running same rom with same kernel.

Don't have that problem.

I wasn't able to figure out why some have the problem and some don't.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Hey agat. Don't want to clog up your thread but wanted to let you know I haven't been dodging you. I have had a hell of a time trying to get my notebook dual booting. I don't know what Dell did to it at the factory but it just wouldn't work. Long story short I am starting over from scratch. Will take me a while to get everything back up again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsngfrce:
Looking for advise, this all moves so fast! I was having problems on FH23 so I went back to FH13. Now I have been thinking of moving to FI03... What kernel do I want? Currently using Agat FH13 source 5.4 kernel. Should I stick with that? Or go to this FI03 Agat kernel (app 2 sd issues?). Or Agat FH23 repack? Or stock FI03 kernel (I don't think so)? It's all so confusing! :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I had same problem with my HP.

Couldn't do it a good way so I used wubi.exe to make dual boot.

It's nice and easy but has big set back. Max disk size for Ubuntu 30GB.

Not enough by far.

That's why I started new setup last friday.

Only way I was able to do it was installing alongside windows and had no choice but split my HDD in half.

Now I'm running 380GB win and 350GB ubuntu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Logix:
no problems here from clean wipe everything installs fine thanks as allways agat ur the best!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I don't know what to say.

Running same rom same kernel.

Just installed XDA-Developers app.

No problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
hmm

I installed garwynns then ff02-cwm-agat one click to gain cwm to flash your FI03 zip

Maybe the ff02 did some bad?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm running stock rooted FI03 with my FI03 repacked kernel.

No tweaks, no add ons, no edits...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
After restoring I went ahead and installed the recovery again and xda wasnt grayed out this time and worked fine and moved from phone to sd no problem. But to be safe I went back to the stock recovery so I won't encounter it in the future. Restoring stock fi03 kernel tar from mobile odin froze up my phone too and had to start over again lol. Something must be wrong with the tar because the zip flashed with no issues from your recovery. I'll just go back and forth between stock recovery and this one when i need to install a mod for now. I just needed my hotspot hack back and I got it lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah I don't know what they did but nothing worked. Wubi didn't work. Using the CD didn't work. I did a ghost backup and wiped the partitions out and then the ghost image wouldn't restore. I was so pissed. But I have been wanting to do it anyway because I usually, this is the first time I haven't, wipe and start fresh anyway soon as I get the computer. Just hate trying to get everything configured again. But I am up and dual booting now. Just need to get things setup again, mainly on the Windows side. Hopefully I will be back soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdss:
Hey agat, tried the link couple post back for fi03, don't see it in list, can I get the correct link please, I flashed the one from op and it says fh13,thanks

Odin via pc and the one click are known to invoke the triangle. Has on fh23 as well. just use triangle away. And installed xda app after the tar of the repack. Installed fine for me.

I now would like to have a cwm on my phone, till now i was scared as there are chnaces of bricking if wipe data is used on recovery or if the phone is reset via privacy settings.

over at fascinate forums , we used to get custom kernels in zip , modems in zip and tar , but here it seems recoveries are kernel specific

For what it is worth...

I am on FI03 with Agat 5.4 kernel (full restore). After flashing this rom/kernel I could move no apps to my ext-sd. Doing the following seems to have fixed the issue and I can now move apps to the ext-sd again. I actually have no idea why this fixed the issue.

With ES File Explorer, I went into mnt/secure/asec. This contained .asec files for all the apps I had on my ext-sd before the clear - flash. I copied all these files to a folder on my ext-sd. Then I deleted all the files in mnt/secure/asec. Then I copied all the files back into mnt/secure/asec. After that, I can now transfer apps to ext-sd again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slhmtb:
This did not work for me. I was also at FI03 and Agat 5.4 when I flashed this kernel. I also tried unmounting the SD card, wiping cache.

App not installed issue -- more info

I'd like to add to the comments on issues with the FI03 repack. I, too, see quirky behavior, but I have nailed mine down a bit more.

I have certain apps that are non-market apps (older versions before people added "full" and "light", and certain paid apps that for some reason just act a bit "funky" -- one is "mymovies".

I'm not very Android savvy, but I notice all of my problematic apps have files in the path /sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure directory. I don't know what put the .asec file there as part of the install, but those are the ones that have issues.

On older AGAT kernels (such as agat_v0.5.5) which is based on FH13, these cause no problem -- apps can be restored from titanium and keep working with no issues.

On the AGAT/FI03 one of two things happens -- either titanium will come back with "app not installed" and will prevent installation. But then yesterday I had something really weird happen -- I got them all installed, they worked, I played with them, then overnight they all went greyed out on the screen and say "not installed" (I did turn on google backup/restore so perhaps that set some flag). Turning off google backup/restore/sync did not fix the problem.

I dropped into recovery, flashed agat_0.5.5 and they are all back without having to reinstall through titanium.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never deliberately "moved to SD" -- never needed the room.

Hopefully this will help troubleshoot the problem.

I greatly appreciate those smarter than me who have figured out these hacks and I really want an FI03 kernel to go with my FI03 based ROM (Kobridge) because I have had nothig but quirks with ICS before Kobridge's stock version. And yes, I've always done factory resets (safe) and selectively restored data only on Apps I need to.

I'm concerned FH13's kernel will cause me battery issues.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Several ways to go back for selling.

Easiest i think is just flash ek02 from the dev section, do a reset with format usb checked, then let the ota process take it to latest build or use kies. Your phone will be fine. No root and very few steps. Don't forget to format the sdcard if youre not keeping it.
