[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionheart82:
Well, managed to flash stock, root&unlock again. rempuzzle didnt work for me. but now i can finaly flash some roms! Thx guys!

Now another q: i can flash & boot some ics roms as well as gb, but on all ics i got a bug where i cant import .vcf files through go contacts.

Examples are:

aokp_buzz_milestone-6-remake

Xperia_Lovin_Ice_Cream_V1.1

AOKP Light

and few others. No such problems on KoolSony-HD V2.1 and probably other gb roms. Is it solvable? I would LOVE to use ics roms, but wont give up go contacts, cant settle for any other app. I CAN import vcf through people system app, but it would be painful to do it every time, as i frequently backup and restore contacts.

Staying on KoolSony-HD V2.1 till then, or till someone makes bugless ics rom. If you guys dont have any solution of course? :)

EDIT: solved, just installed Go Contacts Ex, the roms were ok after all. But another q, why is there no option for choosing input methok(keyboard) in ics? it was there in gb?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadislam:
The easiest way of managing contacts is to sync it with google. That way everytime you install a new rom and add your google account, it will automatically sync your contacts.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionheart82:
Will try that, thx.

Solved, just installed Go Contacts Ex, the roms were ok after all. But another q, why is there no option for choosing input methok(keyboard) in ics? it was there in gb? AND why is there no cut/copy/sellect word/all when i press & hold txt field? Is it only aokp light or all roms ics?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadislam:
Input method can be changed with long pressing text field.

You have to write something for these options to appear. Never tried Aokp light though.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasimk32:
To change input method,just click on empty text box,let the keyboard appear and then pull the statusbar down.There you'll see an option to change input method.

And when you long press a text box,all those options do appear.There are symbols instead of text.See upper part of the screen once you long press it.

My wife's phone died, forcing us to resign our contract with Sprint and we went with the SGS2 Titanium. My previous phone, which I still have is the EVO Shift, I also did some development for the EVO 4G even tho I don't have one. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with this phone... You'll definitely see me around soon. It's supposed to arrive within the week.:D

Here is my latest ROM.. keep in mind the Shift is over 3 years old and only has an 800mhz processor:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024749

Wow, so much Dev support for this device. I am one of about 5 or 6 devs left on the Shift. Gonna be a different experience.

I'm sure we can figure MMS and settings out... Wimax I am not even gonna bother with. Too much of a headache. Really not worth all that work for me. But it will take me a few weeks of learning the device before I do anything significant. Also could someone post a link to the best rooting method for this device?

Awesome...cheers and good luck on your journey of hard dangerous and extreme obstacles that we call a e4gt rom ..haha ..i kid thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well thanks for all the help guys, I'm sure we will be getting to know each other better real soon. It's gonna take me a bit to get acquainted with this device and I am still developing for the EVO 4G and EVO Shift atm (working on XPERIAnceZen, my Sony JB project) but I'm sure I'll be diving into a project over here not too long after I get root.:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
One more quick question... It said on Best Buy's website that my ET4G ships with 2.3.5 GB and the rooting method posted earlier is for 4.0 ICS... Which is easier to root on this device? I'm sure it's way easier than any of HTC's devices.. Just wondering if I should not accept an ota update and root first? I know these questions sound kinda noobish but this will be my second Android phone so I only know how everything is on my Shift and the EVO (basically the same phone but one has a keyboard).:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
You can root on any firmware. In fact if you want you can root by the exynos abuse apk by chainfire. Easiest method ever. As long as you are not on fL24 firmware.

Welcome to the E4GT world!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Guess I gotta wait till tomorrow to really have fun. They couldn't activate it today. Just downloaded the exynosabuse.apk, anything I need to know before I install it and root this bad boy? I already can't stand the bloatware and I don't even have service lol. Two years of being a root user will do that I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
Good to have you on board. The more the merrier! the best way is go use the odin one click's (OC) packages. They have pre-rooted versions too. It'll update you to the latest official OTA (if you so desire) + rooted, all in one step. Check the development section, there should be a sticky with all the info you need.

Just be aware of the EMMC bug and always use a safe recovery when flashing. There's a sticky in the general section about this.

Congrats on the new phone too! This was my first android phone, and if it wasn't for WiMax shutting off next year, I'd run this phone into the ground for years to come. There's a great community here always helping each other out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Koserman:
Glad to see you on board!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
+1 one clicks are definitely the way to go for easy root, almost zero chance for you to brick your phone.:beer:

Thats entirely dependant on the build, your preference, etc.

For ics either agats or the kuban kernel are the best IMO, jb doesn't have source yet so the recoveries are still a little buggy.

I've never played with miui or aosp so I can't really speak on those.

Good luck:thumbup::beer:

Yeah the Shift was a little newer than the Hero... Definitely night and day. I love this phone tho.... Just gotta figure out the whole recovery/flashing process... The one click was simple enough, but I wanna try PACman lol.:D

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
For the most part you'll only need Odin to get back to stock, or to recover from a boot loop or soft brick (unless you can get back into recovery) the process is fairly simple, almost all roms have detailed instructions in the op. The most important thing is to make sure you read it. You wouldn't believe the number of "experienced" individuals who just dl, flash, and go "wtf?" lol.

Feel free to hit me up if you need anything:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Well... Like I said I wanna try PACman. I have the ROM and GApps, it says to use EL26 Recovery and this is where I get confused. Can someone provide a link and point me in the right direction?

Nothing else, I wanna be sure of what I am doing here. Thanks a lot tho it would have taken me weeks to figure all this out on my own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You can download the one click from the repo to get the recovery and flash it the same as the rooted one click you already used

The AOSP ROM's seem to have better battery life than Touchwiz based ROM's. I got almost 14 hours from the latest CM 10.1 build with light/medium use. Considering on JB Touchwiz i had to swap in a fresh battery about 7-8 hours into my work day.

Anyways, welcome bilgerryan.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I usually get about 13 hours with 4 hours screen on time using fl16 which is touchwiz jellybean

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yeah, same here. I usually see about 40 hours before needing to charge and approx 4½ hours screen on. Its all in the tweaks.

The CM roms may well eek out a bit more for some, but considering we don't have source for tw yet, I'd say thats pretty damn good:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yep, it also depends on how many apps you have running. I use ROM Toolbox to not allow almost all apps my apps to start at boot. I also disable any widgets I don't use. That alone does wonders for battery life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yeah I use ds battery saver, its a great app:thumbup::D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
There are some ROMs that really kill battery (usually because of frequent wakelocks) but for the most part it comes down to the user. There are a LOT of factors that go into battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yeah, up until I started using that app I'd average about 12- 14 hours because of all the stuff on my phone, that app puts the phone into deep sleep 15 seconds after screen off and you can control when and if it wakes to update or synch. Its pretty slick:beer:

How safe is Triangle Away? It says this is one of the supported devices but says it can also hard brick your device.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I am just tired of looking at that stupid triangle lol... I like AOSP better than any UI so yeah, glad it works.:D

Edit: Definitely worked... 4.2.1 and no Triangle, I'm a happy camper.

Don't know if you guys already had it (the two 4.2.1 ROMs that I tried didn't) but I decided to do some playing and got Photosphere working correctly... look for a new ROM from me tomorrow. 4.2.1 tons of extra features and apps to play with for maximum customization.

Friends I'm a fairly fast learner and have a couple of devices rooted but the methods were diff from what I'm reading here about T879, so I'm stuck for the moment. I have Odin running, have the samsung drivers loaded fine and all that works well [windows 7 x64]. phone is fine.

I flashed CWM via Odin and got all that happy signs but what now? I don't see anything in the folders on my handset that looks like 'cwm'....

So I need to debug that, read a guide on how to use CWM, then need to root the handset using one of the several...

sorry for being so basic but I'm a serial-logic thinker so can read a step-by-step :D

thanks for your direction

EDIT: just for the record, my T879 shows up in device manager under the Portables category, as "SGH-T879" using driver 2.9.104.921.

Also, for the record, some of the guides I've read say that Odin should show a yellow port code, and identify the device by its Project name. I've never seen that. Odin always shows Blue, with no identification other than a port ID.

Download the superuser.zip to your SD card. Ok turn your phone off. Then press both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. After the Samsung logo pops up release the power button.
