I have the case where my apps that installed themselves to the SD card will disappear from my TW home page - but let me say that this is present in the STOCK JB KERNEL to begin with - so it's not Agat's problem.

The apps are still present in the apps drawer, and I can move them back to the home page until I reboot, then they disappear again.

It appears that some phones have this problem, and a lot do not. So far I don't think anyone has found a solution.

Free programs from the play store that I have that automatically install themselves to the SD card are:

Bubble level

GateGuru

Quick Weather (this one is hard to find in the play store, but it's there).

Unfortunately I managed to soft brick my phone (my fault) and so I just one-clicked FK23 and I've got to start from scratch. Have to get up in two hours to drive to work, too. Never fails...

Agat's kernel itself seemed to work fine. Thanks again Agat. Nice job. And thank your wife for allowing the use of her phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thanks for feedback and explanations.

That makes sense since there are some problems that I never was able to reproduce on my phone thus I was never able to fix them.

At least now we know it's not only software but might be hardware (phone) related.

As for my wife she didn't allow me to take here phone and run my tests.

I waited for her to got to sleep and work thru night on this.

By the time she was up new rom and kernel were running on her phone and all her data was restored ;)

What she doesn't know won't bother her. :p

Some of my apps that were on the sdcard weren't installed anymore.. I tried to reinstall from play store and got "Couldn't install on USB storage or sd card"

message. FYI I was trying to reinstall Aldiko. TY
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just asked my wife to install Aldiko book reader (I hope that's the app you were talking about).

Install went thru without any problems.

There is post stating that there is a difference if you install from internal or external storage.

I did install from external using mobile ODIN. Have no problems with app install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ZuperBlahq:
would anyone mind testing to see if wifi tether works with 4g after using the new kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elwood:
I myself lost access to paid apps besides mobile Odin pro. Weird because tapatalk was one that I lost and it can't be moved to external sd

Edit: only tweak I have its my density set at 180 instead of 240

Edit:: mobile odined back to stock kernel checked they worked. Used mobile Odin pro again to flash repack and everything works like normal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
No problem, thanks for your work!

I tried a some of the usual things but no go so far.

-unmount external sd

-smdl2tmp1.asec (N/A)

-clear market data, uninstall market updates, delete all accounts

I was able to restore backups of uninstallable apps from TiBu, and they run fine, so not sure what the difference there is. I'll logcat for stuff in the morning...

Edit: Forgot to mention that I originally installed from Mobile Odin, but I PC Odined again just to be sure. Also I've never set the location of the apps separately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pitbullmommy45245:
Ya ill just wait for thr actual fl16 repack lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
A few things to note. Agat doesn't even have this phone (well his wife does) so he's really going above and beyond here. I do know he's amazingly helpful to the devs and just plain peeps here too.

Also there is no source code released for JB for our phone.

We will have to wait for Sammy to release that before anyone can build a real 'source built' kernel with all the features, safeties and bells and whistles. And since there are already some newer leaks (FL27 is in testing now) builds coming out it's highly unlikely that FL16 will be the OTA.

All I can say as a guy who's always trying to work on the edge of tech guys like Agat, and all the other super devs and contributors here are freaking great.

Anything he or anyone can do in the meantime is just gravy and much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
With Agat's help I'm hoping to help pick up some of the slack in the near future.

We got kernels compiled, now need to see how this repack works.

Heard you can't repack initramfs so I'm curious how this is done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What you mean "can't repack initramfs"?

That's what repack is all about.

Making it work properly that's a different story.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
In all fairness the source said up front that they don't normally work with zImage kernels...

Sent you a PM on that. Maybe I just did something wrong...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You absultely right about that.

Normally you would compile kernel from source with all the edits and changes you want/need.

We should be forever thankfull to Team Rogue for starting repacks back in time and passing the knowledge and how to's down to us so we can continue make them and try to have custom recoveries before we get the source.

And usually recovery is not part of the zImage (kernel).

E4GT is first phone for me that has recovery packed into zImage.

All other phone I had or worked for had recovery outside of zImage and it was a good think.

Even after bad flash you were able to boot to recovery and flash a good kernel/rom or restore a nand back up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
No news is good news!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
I did do a restore and all is fine. And a wipe too as well and flashed jellyverse on a clean install and so far no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Solid!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Just to add to my previous post..

One clicked

Added mobile Odin and TiBU

Flashed Agat 23 repack

Tried to restore all apps/no data

TiBU hangs on every app that installs to the SD card..have to reboot to continue. Mobile Odin disappears and won't reinstall from play store.

From recovery, flash stock kernel.

Everything will now install and mobile Odin has magically reappeared.

I don't think we will ever get an answer to this one...but maybe after source drops.

Thanks again Agat. Good night for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sloth:
You are DA MAN agat thanks for all your hard work :D

ok so I flashed thru mobile odin and got a bootloop so went back thru wiped dc and c x2 and x3 started fresh bootloop went and wiped everything reflashed stock rom started up flashed recovery thru pc bootloop wiped everything again bootloop flashed diffrent rom thru recovery bootloop now nothing is working but bootloops any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I used mobile odin without any issues. I am running deodexed FK23 btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Thanks that helped out a bunch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
:p

Ok maybe it didn't but I thought you should know that it worked for me. Maybe redownload it and check MD5. I almost always d/l stuff through pc, then transfer it to phone through usb cable to make sure the download is good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Spam? Lol kidding bro. :)

Thank you agat. Now we can start working on some Jelly. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Not sure what the issue is at this point should have been just as easy as flashing so when I got the bootloop went right to the pc and redownloaded the repack and tried again now I went back got stock fk23 running minus the root and its booted up so......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdavis429:
Where did you save the tar file too? I originally saved it to internal and had problems out the @$$. I moved it to external and set dalvik cache to be wiped (all through mobile odin) and profit!

Hooligan X for the Gs3? Can't wait let me know if you need any testing done. We are having issues with the ripple lockscreen on some roms right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Is rwilco's one click the easiest way to install this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Looks like that is what happened was running the universe rom at the time so now Im just going back thru the steps and starting from scratch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdavis429:
I'm currently running The Universe JB also. I didn't get a bootloop but I did lose access to my paid apps from the market.

Says the guy that types "smh" :D, so I reinstalled, I saw other posters saying they had the tar on sdcard, I had it there already so I just reflashed, all is well:thumbup: user error on my side :what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lord dredd:
hi

just flashed this with mobile odin

wanted to ask if i can use calk's or kobridge's bare rom scripts with this recovery and on JB FK23

regards

EDIT :

couldnt wait and went ahead , all done :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
Awesome work. I was waiting for this. A quick question though. I flashed this through PC Odin and it triggered the Triangle and the flash counter increased. I don't mind it but because I'm having terrible service, I might have to go to Sprint and give them a piece of my mind. So, just in case I wanna return to stock, how do I remove the triangle and reset the counter? I tried using "Triangle Away" but it didn't work. It asks me if I'm running ICS and the only button to press is "OK" and then it disappears.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bloopblah:
I second this. I flashed this through ODIN on the PC and it didn't work for me. so I had to reflash this back to stock kernal. Hm what am I doing wrong. ....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Had anyone tried the one click yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
Well I have no idea what the issue is here got the download from everywhere it was posted I can start all roms with no issues on stock recovery when I flash over repack it bootloops or just gets stuck so I dont know this is a very simple process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t1chaz2002:
Mr. Agat

I'd like to thank you for your continued devotion to the E4GT....and the for all your hard work......THANK YOU SIR......you are no doubt the man...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
well im on my computer which i hardley ever do anymore lol. i installed one click. it did trigger yellow triangle which i knda expected. however now i have no xda app and can not dl from market. says it cant download to either internal or external sd. weird. i do have the recovery as i checked the normal way with phone off. gonna HAVE TO MESS WITH IT I GUESS. also kernel version remained the same
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ManofJELLO:
boot loop for me too. wiped everything flashed deodexed rooted fk23 rom from recovery, and then flashed the agat repack fk23 kernel on top and I got boot loop. booted to recovery, format all, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, rebooted and still boot loop.

Going to try mobile odin rom, restart and then mobile odin the kernel. see if that helps life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
edit: cannot install from titanium backup either. keeps failing. gonna try to install tar as i dont think i can dl zip as i cant dl anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elwood:
After installing early this morning I was in the same boat as many other users. No paid apps worked, then after reflashing the stock kernel it works. Reinstalled agats and they worked. After a reboot this morning they again didn't work. Noticed a few users said that it stuck and/or still didn't work still after using titanium backup. Figured I'd give it a try and they seem to be working. I did realize that setcpu after setting it to 1000/200 upon a reboot it will show that my settings are at 1000/200 but will actually run at 1200 until it's readjusted

Also what I can't figure out is why all paid apps disappear besides mobile Odin pro¿
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I think this recovery has trouble with symlinking the preload folder that my zip has from using the kitchen.

When flashing using FI27 source built it flashes and runs like a charm. Flashing with this repack is FC city.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mremale:
I mobile odined from fk23 zip kernel to AGAT's with no issue. Usually the xda app disappears if anything goes but this was flawless for me. No issues as of yet. Even made a nandroid but haven't tried restoring yet. So far so good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Alright guys here's what I did. I downloaded the .zip from the repo to my pc and was able to transfer to sd via pc sub. Booted to recovery and was able to install just fine but still had no xda app and was still not able to install it from market or titanium. So I booted back to recovery, installed stock kernel, and everything went back to normal. My xda app came back too lol. Btw after installing agats kernel it still showed stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Can u install from market or titanium?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elwood:
I could be mistaken here but this is stock kernel just repacked by agat so we have a custom recovery. This is not a source built kernel which we will probably see sometime in the near future
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ginjeet:
Ditto. Flashed from ext. Will try a do over.

Edit- file MUST be on root of ext. Sorry if I missed that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Oh. That would explain the version shown then. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
Which means that if you're gonna flash another rom, you NEED to MOdin the Stock EL26 CWM kernel before flashing. We don't know if the Stock Samsung JB Kernel has the EMMC bug removed yet.

So be safe than sorry...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Good point!

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

How could u get thae xda app to work again then? Because that really was the only one I tried to install and couldn't.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Well duh! I feel like an idiot lol. Bluesrulez over in the bugs and fixes thread simply said move the xda app to device storage. Gonna install the one-click again.

Oh well. Force closing all over the place now. Guess I'll have to wait till kinks get ironed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Reinstalled stock kernel and paid apps came back (only root explorer was affected)

But I got to make a nandroid so all is good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Did u make sure this app is not on ur sd card? That's how I got xda app working again. i moved it to internal storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toleraen:
Ran a logcat...installing paid apps (been testing with launcher pro key) gives the "E/PackageHelper( 5514): Failed to create secure container smdl2tmp1" error. I've ran into this one plenty of times before but the usual tricks aren't working.

Relevant portion of the logcat attached if anyone has an inkling to take a guess...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mremale:
@t4d73 I had TiBA and market before from when I was on my last kernel. This is what I have done. Clean flashed fk09 then when fk29 came out, I flashed the zip kernel. Then after seeing AGAT's new kernel... I mobile odined to AGAT's tar fk23 kernel. No problems with anything this far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gotojanoo:
works perfect but i got triangle ,not a biggie though

And triangle away i thing not works on JB yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gatesmarch123:
Borked several of my apps.:(

Titanium restores failed and got this error trying to reinstall ftom market "Couldn't install to sd or internal storage"

I also tried wiping market and framework data.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

I also mobile odined the kernel. The apps vanished after a little while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
I never install on sd card with so much spacr on phone I just install to phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Did read thru all posts and got some confirmation over PM as well.

Apparently there is a difference how the repack is installed.

If flashed from internal storage it gives some problems and errors.

If flashed from root of SD card everything seems to work fine.

I'll edit the OP and add suggestion to flash it via Mobile ODIN from root of SD card.

That's the method I use and may be that's why I never had most of the problems with apps 2 sd of with

app install from the market.

I don't know why it makes difference but for now I guess we should just accept the fact that it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Ill try it from.sd now

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

No change for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I never do either for same reason. But somehow xda and like 3 or 4 other apps were on my sd when I checked under applications in settings. I don't know how they ended up on my sd when I did a clean install using the tar format. Weird. Unless somehow they were previously from ics and jb just recognized it. Don't know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
I flashed from download directory of my external SD and it borked my apps, lots of them went missing, couldnt install from play store, etc. I'll retry from the root of external and see if that makes any difference for me.

Edit: I can confirm flashing from the root of external sd via MO was successful and doesn't seem to be borking any of my apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] colonel.shepard:
Unfortunately not for me :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I guess I came in here to beat a dead horse and recount the same issues, but after reading this last page, it looks like I may have found my answer. I'll try flashing from the root of my external SD rather than my kernel folder.

EDIT: No profit. Same issues, only this time I had boot animation loops and had to restore a backup that I made. :(

It's a little kooky, I did the install from the root of sd and it worked fine i could install and I could see the apps, but as the day went by apps started going mia.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Hey man how would u do that? Load a tar 1st then flash from that recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'm sorry. I'm really not understanding your question. I moved the .TAR to the root of my external SD. I used Mobile Odin to flash from there. Does that answer your question?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah that makes sense. I don't have mobile odin but it's probably time I get it lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cricket Droid:
Thank you Agat

I used mobile odin to flash your kernel from the ext sd where I keep my tar file's , went to the play store downloaded TiBu,and a few other paid apps and everything is working smoothly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Paying for it through the play store is the most convenient and best way to keep chainfire doing what he does, but it looks like that may not be an option if you're having the issues reported in this thread. If you already have this kernel installed, you can use the stock .zip from rwilco12's kernel repo, and flash back to stock. From there you can purchase it.

Another option is to do a search and find the free version offered to xda users. You'll have to do a little extra legwork to get it working for this device, but it's great to have it.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ManofJELLO:
fixed my boot loop. flashed fk23 deodexed rooted from recovery. booted up and then mobile odin the repack. everything seemed to go just fine.

then I got the paid app problem, that they can not install to storage or sd card. . everything was done from the external sd card root.

flashed back to stock kernel and all is fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
First try:

I was on fk23 rooted with stock recovery.

Downloaded agat FK23 recovery tar file directly to the internal mem on the phone

Used mobile odin to flash it, rebooted into agat recovery, installed bootanimation.zip, and ESFile exploerer zip file I made.

Rebooted to system, and upon booting no modified boot animation, still the stock sprint animation.

When fully booted I checked apps drawer to find no ESFile Explorer installed at all.

Checked System/Media and bootanimation.zip was there.

Second Try:

Went to Odin mode

Installed OC odin SPH-D710_FK23_549262_Rooted_Restore.exe (removes all data) <----via the PC

Rebooted the phone to full bootup. Transfered Bootanimation.zip file and ESFile Exploerer to the root of the internal memory.

Back into odin mode

Installed agats FK23 Custom Recovery tFK23_Agats_Recovery.exe <----via the PC

Rebooted into agat FK23 recovery, installed bootanimation.zip, and ESFile exploerer zip file I made.

Rebooted the phone and upon booting still no modified boot animation, still the stock sprint animation.

When fully booted I checked apps drawer to find no ESFile Explorer installed at all, same as before.

Third Try:

Rebooted into agat FK23 recovery, installed bootanimation.zip, and ESFile exploerer zip file I made.

Rebooted the phone and upon booting still no modified boot animation, still the stock sprint animation.

When fully booted I checked apps drawer to find no ESFile Explorer installed at all, same as before.

3 times and same results each time.

So am I doing something wrong, or is this something to do with agats kernel?

PS: I can help test if need be, just give me a holler I'll be glad to help out. I have time and can give a quick reply back......yeah I have no life, sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ginjeet:
Update: flashing from root of sd worked. Until rebooting after doing a backup. Will have to wait and watch. Appreciate your work on this, your time and efforts are not taken for granted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I don't think ur doing anything wrong. It looks like the only way people were getting it to work was with mobile odin. Sounds like the only thing u didn't try lol but I think that's the only way it will work. At least for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Sweet, I thought I was going crazy or somthing, was like racking my brain, "wth am I doing wrong!!!!!" heh, thought I was the cause ie: user error, as it can be a lot of times.

I did odin the first try though, that was the first thing I tried

Or did you mean another way of using mobile odin and perhaps I am just misunderstanding what your meaning?
