Thank you for that quick response. One other question, when wiping data and system in a recovery will it wipe my internal sd card or is that on a seperate partition that is untouched?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
That's separate, however the first time you move to jellybean, you'll need to repartition your device (use a one click) and that will wipe your internal sd. Backup everything to your pc before doing so:beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DynamicN:
What is the benefit/need of repartitioning the device when moving to jellybean for the first time? When I got the phone about a week ago it automatically updated to 4.1.2 gb28 ota when I first turned it on. I don't know if that makes a difference but I thought I'd throw it out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Before Jelly Bean (TouchWiz) there was no Preload partition (hence the repartitioning), if you got the OTA already then you're good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
The link to download for thw gb28 isnt working. It keeps saying fialed to reach server.

Just a minor update. I figured what the heck and went ahead and did the governors.

Next build will have:

Stock:

PERFORMANCE

POWERSAVE

USERSPACE

ONDEMAND

INTERACTIVE

CONSERVATIVE

ADAPTIVE

PEGASUSQ

Custom:

SMARTASS2

HOTPLUG

LAGFREE

HYPER

LULZACTIVE

KTOONSERVATIVE

For now that's all I'm planning on adding for governors. If you want another added ask here and I'll see what I can do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmok:
Last night I ran into a minor issue. I one clicked a stock rooted full restore GB27 then odined the repack and flashed JV 2.0. After I flashed JV I tried to download the titanium backup up pro key and it would not let me install saying it cannot be installed on the sd card. I decided I would install just titanium backup and go ahead and restore my apps. As I was restoring my apps the restore process froze at certain apps a few times and I had to kill titanium backup. I flashed the stock GB 27 kernel ro finish the restore process then reflashed the repack kernel and have not had issues since then.

I thought I should let you know about the issue, but it was only a minor inconvenience and not a big deal to me.

Thanks again for all your work garwynn!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mradlauer:
Can you add access to extweaks? Pretty prease? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JCred:
I've yet to flash the updates because my phone is running so well already. However- mobil Odin (pro)'d 0.1.0 and successfully performed Nandroid backup (the first I've ever done on this device). Have yet to do a full wipe and restore from it because, again, my phone is running so good as it is. The kernel itself seems to be identical to stock in performance- no bugs, missing apps, play store issues, etc.

Great job, Garwyn!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dataman:
I am not sure if you guys know about this bug or not but when I flash using this recovery I have to clean the cache and even the dalvik cache for some of my flashes to go through and Morph.

I had an issue flashing Tdunham's patch and he told me about the issue with this recovery and flashing.. I love your work.. keep it up!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Right on, you beat me to it... I just completed the same exercise successfully myself and was about to post it. LOL

Both rujelus22 and agat kernels support extweaks, I like it better than setcpu when I can run it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
From what I was reading most or all of this is all in the ramdisk and I'm using Agat's JB ramdisk. So I sent a msg asking if this was already in. Sure it's just going to be a matter of time. Once he adds I'll just re-pull that repo and rebuild based on updated version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
garwynn, I believe rujelus22 is working on a JB Blu Kuban. He may be able to help. Infact he may be a good Dev to take over this when you leave
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Already sent him a pm.

Agat said no support yet but he'll add soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Hey Garwynn. It's been a long time. I have been out, seems like forever, to handle some personal stuff. Just now getting back into things. I have been on the OLD ICS rom the whole time. Never updated to any of the newer versions because I didn't have time. I installed GB27 the other day and your kernel yesterday. Everything is working great! Thanks and keep up the great work. I hope to see you on the S4 side in the future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Some positive feedback:

I made a nandroid of GB27, did a full wipe and Odin'ed back to FL24. I installed the Kuban FL24 kernel and switched between Odexed and Deodexed Roms doing a full wipe several times. I Odin'ed back to GB27. Installed this kernel. Did a restore of nandroid. All is perfect.

Thanks again for the great work.

Would this one work woth the virgin mobile version? And what type do I need to download for it to work with mobile odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DynamicN:
Yes it will work with Virgin Mobile. Download the .tar for use with Mobile Odin and the .zip would be if you want to flash it through a recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Ask remotehugger the question. He's run this on VM, and if I recall, he had no issues while using. Also check out jdsingle76 rom specifically for your variant of the phone. A great rom and the perfect kernel to match.

Do I put It on my external lexar micro sd or 'internal sd'.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Either one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Note that I and at least one other person have had problems flashing kernels with Mobile ODIN when the tar is on the external, but never any problem from internal SD. YMMV, just putting it out there. :)

It might've been related to the ROM I was on at the time, too, because my phone used to think that the external SD became unmounted and it hasn't done that since I left that ROM.

Either that or I finally jarred the phone hard enough when it flew off my dash one of the last few times to "permanently" "fix" it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Honestly - and this is a personal preference - I only tested using standard Odin. Mobile Odin is nice but you're actively replacing a kernel/recovery while it is loaded in memory. Odin mode won't be so the results in theory could be different. In the end your phone, your risk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Ok thanks

Is it safe to flash an aosp rom with the v0.5.0 kernel found here http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...0)/Kernels/Recovery Kernels/JB/SXTP_Agat_GB27

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Ok thanks. ..would you reccomend any roms that are compatible with my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Any rom on this site. Do you have good wimax where you are located? And, what do you value most? Battery life, speed, access to Samsung apps, room to put in your own stuff (in system apps)? If many of these, what's the hierarchy in terms of importance?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Battery life mainly ... when I flash my custom recovery on odin I have to make aure nothing is checked on the panel right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Well, so you want to stay on TouchWiz, or move to an aosp rom? Battery life on the latter is superior. As to Odin, I'm unclear, as I haven't used it except once. Usually used the one-click packages.

The one time I used it, it was for an entire rom, I had Rwilco's tutorial close at hand, and followed it to the letter. Easy, if I remember correctly. I'd imagine the same holds for a kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I think there might be a one click....whats the difference between asop and touchwiz?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
AOSP is like a pure android experience, but can have some downsides, biggest being slow wimax and lower volume. TouchWiz is more stable, but beefier footprint and worse battery life. Loud, stable and fast wimax, if you have it in your area.

Wimax for the epic is 4g right?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2320041
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Yes..

Yes, 4G for the Sprint E4GT and its inbred siblings = WiMax.

I have two WiMax towers from which I pull 90% of my daily usage, both of which blast 4G WiMax at 8-10MB down throughout the day and night. For me, AOSP was insufferably slow. Others on this forum within 20 miles of my places of work and home have little use for WiMax, either by virtue of its non-existence, content with WiFi connections, or whatever may apply. Ultimately, you have tons of choices. Aren't you glad you don't have an iPhone?

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Yes, perhaps. But seeing that it's your ROM and awesome, I see no reason to question the wisdom of the above-stated recommendation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I get 4g at our local mcdonalds and by this house a few streets down from me. I dont reall car I mainly use 3g and WiFi. Yes my friends are aleays complaining that their battery is crap and phones are slow... and they are stuck on ios :p stinks to be them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I can't discern what's best for you, but I can assure you that no matter what you choose, you'll be helped by many here.

From a practical standpoint, I might aver that it'd be prudent to start with a jellybean, TouchWiz based rom, try it out, and enjoy your stay.

After a while, do a nand, and make the switch over to an aosp rom and try that out.

You'll know at that point toward both whither you are tending, and from whence you have come.

Best of luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
After I flash a rom, say the cyanogen mod. Can I go back to stock and where are the files I need available for download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
If you start at CM, first do a nand of your current, backup everything on both cards, your contacts, apps, &c, I recommend a one click Rooted Restore of an ICS rom for your phone, grab the one-click from Rwilco's site, grab the EL26 or EL29DirectBoot, follow the qbking77 video exactly as he shows, download the files listed in the OP, including the Gapps package and the rom of choice, and play.

To go back to TouchWiz, flash the one click Rooted Restore again, this time for your jellybean build, flash the recovery kernel you now have using Odin or mobile Odin, and restore your nand.

Everything is at the repository. If your direct to boot recovery link is busted, let me know and I'll flip you either one.

This may be a longer route, but it'll get you there and back safely.

Happy flashing.

When I used the "SXTP_Agat_BSTFL24-v0.2.0.tar" file from rwilco12's repository on my kid's Boost phone, it writes a good recovery, but the phone can't boot the system. All I get is a persistent black screen after the Samsung logo. Flashing GC01 back on makes it bootable again but it has the un-cool recovery back on there. Is 0.2.0 the correct version? I thought I wanted 0.5.0, but it's not in the recovery kernels section for that phone on rwilco12's site.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
"SXTP_Agat_BSTFL24-v0.2.0.tar" is an ICS kernel (FL24 to be exact), you are on Jelly Bean. That's why it won't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flatulence:
Well, that certainly explains why it makes the phone go stupid!!! Thanks for clearing that up. Do you know where I can get the file I need? All the links I can find take me to nowhere. Garwynn said to go to rwilco12's repository but I guess it's not there or I'm more stupid than I thought......
