[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] farmtool33:
hi all,

i can flash many ROM's and i can root , i am not a noob anymore XD.

But the last time i flashed a recovery was 5 months ago... so i want to upgrade to some newer versions:

My CURRENT CWM = 5.0.2.6

I want to flash CWM 5.0.2.7 OR CWM 6.1.0.2 .

Now my question's are:

-When i upgrade, will i still be able to restore my backups made with 5.0.2.6 ?

-When the installation fails and i can't get into CWM. How do i need to flash my old one or another recovery ? ( i think odin ??? but how ? )

Thank you , for the one that answers :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ThaOdie:
I succesesfully updated to 6.0.1.4 test 2 and yes you still can use youre back up's.

Just go into recovery and install te zip reboot and youre done ;)

Ok dudes ... here is the thing ...I have a Nexus S wich is an old phone and cant handle video capturing apps quite well (captures video in extremly low fps)

So here is my question... Could you please inform me to some software (pc) which i can use to record my devices screen(and or any alternate way of recording my phones screen from my pc)?

So I know the usb host drivers have been deactivated for the KF. Has anyone determined where they are or how to activate/install them. That would be a great feature to add for us rooted ppl who haven't flashed a new Rom.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jth747:
Also interested

USB host would be one of the nicer additions to the Fire HD 8.9, wonder if anyone has come up with a way to enable it ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
USB Host

Hmmm, good idea. If Amazon did not disable this function in the Kernel it would be just a matter of finding a Ice Cream Sandwich USB apk and probably a couple of libs

I spent about 30 minutes trying to find this on Google without any luck. I have another idea! I have ordered the new Samsung Tablet which runs ICS, when it arrives I will take a peek in the system to see if I can find these files.

I will post my follow up in about 1 week.

Kindle Fire HD USB Host

Gilly10,

We are finding it a bit challenging since it is clear Amazon had no intention of ever using this port for external devices, so they do not have a power feed like other Mini USB Ports - either way, we have figured out how to get past that issue, now we are working on the driver to use on the Kindle Fire. We will post an update as soon as we have a definitive solution.

Geekybiker,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us a link. The link you are referring to is:

Device: Kindle Fire 2

Rooted and TWRP'ed with the Nightly of CM10.1 1-20-2013

The link you is very different to what we are attempting to do. We are trying to enable the USB Host subsystem with the stock OS and Kernel, which in the end may not be possible. Most custom Kernels have enable the USB Host as nFiniti discusses in the link provided. Also, the link is focusing on the Kindle Fire 2 only we are discussing all Kindle Fires in this thread.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Geekybiker:
Right, but it talks about how to get around the power issue for example. I assume you've downloaded the open source kernel directly from Amazon? I was looking through all of the drivers they included, and it looks like the USB host drivers exist in the distribution. They must not be turned on by default. Might be as simple as recompiling the kernel, but I admit I'm a complete n00b when it comes to that sort of stuff.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Kindle Fire HD USB Host

Geekybiker,

Although our love is Ubuntu, at the moment the only version of Ubuntu for the Kindle is the current desktop which is worthless on the Kindle. We are waiting for Ubuntu to release Ubuntu for Android which will be a nice custom platform for the end user that will allow you to use your Phone or Tablet as your primary computer at night and during the day, it is a normal powerful phone. Having said this, we will be compiling a Ubuntu Eternal for the Kindle when we are authorize to do so. Until then, we are placing most of our energy on improving the stock Kindle OS - you are correct, it should be a matter of compiling the Kernal to include the USB Subsystem, although if it was that easy someone would have done it by now. This has become a challenging task and may not become reality until we build or someone else builds a custom Kernel for the Kindle Fire.

We will post updates as we make progress. I do know XDA User Hashcode has done some amazing work for the Kindle Fire, maybe he is working on this option (if anyone can get this done it would be Hashcode) for his Kindle Kernel - only time will tell............
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
First things first. We do NOT yet have permission from our source to release the full build.

We do have permission to post screenshots and our findings. We have received tentative permission to release the TAR and One-Clicks in the coming days. We DO NOT have a specific date or time as of yet.

If and when we do receive permission to release the full build it will be posted here.

In the meantime we will try to test everything we can possibly think of and post the results here. We'll update as we find more.

Now would also be a good time to introduce you to the two newest members of the Team Sextape machine. Traylunch and MohoGalore will be helping us going forward with testing. This will be their first build testing and they will be posting their findings in this thread. We appreciate all the offers for help and hope to take some of you up on the offers in the future! We'll keep you updated as we find more opportunities.

Please feel free to ask questions! We'll answer all that we can (except for the, "Can you sneak me a copy early" question ;)).

Proceed to Post 2 for findings and Post 3 for screenshots.

Enjoy!

Findings

All Internal Storage still wipes upon flash.

Still only JB modems are compatible.

Sync option is back in Toggles.

Samsung KB seems to be more accurate.

Several Bluetooth devices are compatible.

Hotspot functions same as previous JB leaks.

Rapid GPS locks.

Talkback works!

So far battery drain from FL04 appears to be eliminated.

More to come!

Has bluetooth been fixed on fl16? For some people including myself that is very important... I now this are test builds but at the same time this could very well our next official update. If anybody can test this it would be deeply appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I had one situation when I was re-installing apps where it said "system has been given Superuser permissions" several times and then did a warm boot. Also had another time where hung and had to restart by holding power for 5 seconds. Battery jumped down at that point - as it was at 2:30 am don't remember how much or if it really was a jump - the color changed, which is what I noticed. (Green to yellow)

Battery life beyond that seems to be on par with other JB builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
That "system has been given Superuser permissions" issue is not specific to JB builds. Not sure what the cause is exactly. I've gotten it several times with the release ICS version as well prior to updating to FK23 and now FL04 (haven't gotten it on either of those yet).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The previous error was "shell has been given Superuser permissions" which seems to have been a combination of two issues:

1) An issue with superuser that ChainsDD fixed

2) (Possibly) the flash order that was being used for restores.

After the reboot have been unable to recreate the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weboide:
Can you check if the bluetooth issues are still there? FL04 had some issues with bluetooth earpieces, chipmunk sound and static noise for the other party. For me this happens with a plantronics M50.

Hey guys. I want fl16. Possibly a custom rom version. Since jellybean when using the tar wipes internal to make a different partition setup, is it bes to run the tar first then when I choose use the custom rom? I understand it is wipong for a reason. So if I just install the custom rom without ever having done a tar flash of these leaks would there be a downside of something not being used to its potential? And if it must let the flame wars commence lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I think it is best to flash one of the stock tar files at least once so that your phone will get repartitioned. JB takes up a lot more room than the previous versions of android. This wipes your internal storage SD of course so copy everything off the phone first. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
should have gone to FL16 LOL .. I don't know that there is anything the system will have problems with , I have seen posts of issues and others with none. It was posted early in the leaks like fk09 by Garwyn and others a suggestion to at least once do the full tar ( beat to it by ^^^)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
So, here's a question.

Is the general consensus that JellyBean will not come to this phone in OTA form, and rather be given to sprint techs (such as myself) as an OTW option to update customers' phones?

I ask this here because 1., the reoccurring theme of internal data being wiped hasn't gone away (meaning it seems to Samsung like a necessary evil at this point), and 2., I feel like someone on team sextape is more connected than I am and would have the answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I was on fk23 jellyverse. Now on kobridge fl04. Hopped on that the first night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
Check his fl16 he put out today fl04 had some battery drain reports
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Do we still need to worry about bricking when we wipe data with stock kernel? Its been so long since I've run stock :screwy:

Edit- I'm really beginning to hate swipe style keyboards :banghead:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
Same thing here! The only way to fix this is to reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
It is coming by ota. When is not known, just like ICS... but it will be released for certain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
After reading about the initial positive reports about FL16, I flashed the tar file using Mobile Odin Pro and got to keep root and superuser. And it's very smooth, fast, reliable, and good on battery so far. I'd say that battery-wise, it's even better than fk23. Looks like I found my new DD Jellybean setup~! :D

To flash the modem, I flashed agat's repackaged kernel, booted into cwm, and flashed the FL16 modem prepared by kobridge.

Again, sextape FTW~!

I used GPS several times tonight and it worked excellently (but then I never had any GPS issues, fortunately). Here in Orange County, I get 9 to 11 satellite locks in a few seconds. :)

As for 3G and 4G, both are performing very well as well, especially at my house. At my house, the best 4G performance I got before was around 8 to 8.5 Mbps. With the FL16 modem, I got the fastest 4G ever so far - more than 10 Mbps~!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Is this in consideration as a final ota candidate?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elchinoloco:
Battery usage for me is better than fl04 but just about the same as fk23. I actually think fk23 use less battery during sleep than fl16. I hope the OTA version will have the same battery usage as fi27.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Samsung Fanboy:
Love it so far. Super fast and great battery life, hope were getting close to a real solid OTA soon.

I have an upgrade in January but I honestly do not see the need for a new device just yet. This is working pretty damn good for my needs and see no reason to waste an upgrade.

I think I fixed whatever was causing my phone to wake from deep sleep like every minute. I deleted sprint ID and zone and turned off the location services, not just the gps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I asked before but maybe nobody really knew but we are able to overclock with tegrak which advertises it works on the gs3. So since this is basically a gs3 port are we running the same kernel as the gs3? I only ask because I'm wondering if one of their custom kernels might work with this build. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
No, the binary is completely different, it wouldn't work right.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but even though we can port over mods and roms I don't think its possible to port kernels. Sorry for the blunt answer earlier, I was pressed for time and just shot a quick reply:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Stryke is correct. One thing you have to remember is that the kernel is essentially the bridge between the hardware and the software. If you have even a slightly different hardware profile, it's going to be incompatible. The GS3 uses different processors, more RAM, etc, so when it makes a request of our hardware, it will do nothing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Nah it's all good man. It was a long shot anyway. But I do like the fact we can over clock a stock kernel. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
FL16 is definitely my favorite JB release so far. As smooth, fast, and reliable as fk23 but with better battery life (I got 3 hrs 45 mins with 3% left). If I had to be nitpicky, it would be the lack of USB mass storage option built in.

With that said, I went back to the Calkulin v3.0 GB last night because I missed the battery life too much. :p on Calkulin and my normal usage habits, I can achieve almost 6 hours of screen time before needing a recharge. I thought going back might be unpleasant but it wasn't. Hololauncher takes care of my homescreens, app drawer, and icons (coming from Apex), GoLocker takes care of the lockscreen, and all my apps from Jellybean still work and perform very well in Gingerbread. If anything, GB is faster than FL16 and smoother. The GB settings menu, however, is an eyesore. :p
