Morning to all. Just to let you know, 0.5.0 will be the last for a while, I'll be spending the week doing prep work for the L720 to hopefully get CM in short order. You can follow some of the work here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245267

It will be a great opportunity to get an idea of what it takes to port a device over to CM. And for me, will be fun to expand beyond kernels into something very challenging but hopefully with great rewards at the end!

I'll check on the 2X script and if okay'd I'll add it.

Got 4G LTE in your area?

Galaxy S4 is the way to go after S2. S3 was not big enough to move over to.

Gluck with S4, I will be bugging you there once I get some LTE in the area.

Thank you for all your hard work. I guess as of now Agat took over the recovery we will see who will take over after that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
While I'm taking on development for the S4 getting one in my hands is a lower priority as I already have a Note 2.

Garwynn what is the Linux version of the final Kernel/recovery v0.5.0?

Any issues with updating the Linux to the current version?

What kind of benefit do we get if the kernel is uptodate with linux or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
3.0.74. Should be okay to go further.

G, I'm still on 4.1 so sorry of this has been addressed but could you please remove the multitude of 'No' choices in the selection menus please. I get tired of scrolling just to make my choice. Leaving them on the reboot menu is fine so we don't make the wrong choice.

So do you think we should just follow up the rest of the kernel development in AGAT's thread, he added the UV/OC Extweaks etc and the rest of functions and stability are compared to your v0.5.0

If I'm on an aokp rom with cwm rec can I restore a jb tw nandroid made in agats rec? I know the modems I have to flash
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
For those wondering, I'm not saying I'm done - just said I'm taking a break. Other devices need love too!

S3 is all set with MD4, S4 will be extremely busy as I've decided to take on CM for it. For those of you who don't know what kind of time/work that takes, it's a whole 'nother beast compared to kernels. Just doing the prep work I feel lost sometimes - but fortunately have gotten some great mentorship to help me stay on track. It is truly a great learning experience and am happy to have the support of the folks that have talked with me as I took this on. It's all in the ladder I hope to continue to climb as I study AOSP and try to apply (and eventually share) that knowledge.

Once S4 gets CM going I'm going to come back to this. Will help Agat tweak the recovery, including the "No"s (I hate them too!) and if you're okay with it - adding your 2X wipe script into Agat's recovery. Might even try working on that and see if he can introduce into his kernel. Main difference in our kernels at this point are his enhancements while I stayed closer to stock for now... and recoveries are identical since we're using the same :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
And you forgot to mention that the recovery is working good (finally) because of all your polishing touches and edits.

Ever since the JB leaks came along recovery wasn't working properly and I wasn't able to fix all issues.

Even tho it still calles AGAT recovery but at this point it's as much yours as it's mine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
Well said agat, garwynn has really stepped up to help. Thank you both.

In case some don't know, We can use the home and menu to scroll up and down in recovery. Using the search key too choose. Saves from using the power and volume buttons.

Probably didn't give it enough time after boot to initialize before taking the first screenshot, or had it mounted in mass storage mode or something, but yeah... theres your answer, 1.41 GB might not be enough space.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] infirno77:
I usually try for at least 2 gb for a backup. Mine usually take up 1.6 gb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There is a .Trash folder on the sd card which is invisible.

It has files and info subfolders in it.

When you delete something on the phone it moves it to that trash folder. Like recycling bin on Windows.

I had same problem ones when it shows enough free space but can't do back up.

Just connect your phone to pc and make sure it shows all hidden files and folders.

Navigate to .Trash (.Trash1000, .Trash500) folder and make sure it's empty.

If it's not empty delete the content of it.

It will give you free space you need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] helix4u:
Hey Garwynn, Just wanted to drop by and let ya know that the compatibility with kobridge's tweaks on your kernel has to do with the adaptive and interactive governors having tasks in a hung state. They hang from the very beginning, so, when his script sets the task hang timeout setting, it finds the kinteractiveup and kadaptiveup tasks in the hung state and bada bing, bada boom, phone reboots. So, if you want, you can throw the hotplug gov back in (pegasusq does hotplugging as well anyway) and just disable adaptive and interactive govs in the build, then you should be good to go compatibility-wise. No more hung tasks.

Should be as simple as commenting out (#) CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_INTERACTIVE=y and CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ADAPTIVE=y

To check for hung tasks

Open adb shell

su

ps | grep " D"

It's ok for tasks to enter a D or DW state for a second or two, but if they stick around for too long, that's when they're considered hung.

I've been talking with agat about this on his kernel. His case is only slightly different in the fact that he already has the interactive gov disabled, so there's no kinteractiveup hung task on his.

Hello, and thanks for the work on the ET4G. I haven't been back here in a long while as life has been busy. In fact, I've been running a rooted EL29 for a long time...it's just served my purposes. Now, however, I'm ready to get up to date. I downloaded the OC files a few days ago and will try to find time this coming week to deal with it. I'll be going the full restore (rooted) route and just restore apps and app data from Titanium. Then take the time to 'rebuild' my system setup.

I do have a few questions. I didn't see the answers at sxtpdevelopers.com (and the site is down atm), but:

1. using the OC, should I enable USB debugging, as in the 'old days' :) ?

2. Am I OK running the GB27 OC from my current EL29 build? Or should I run the EL26 build, then GB27?

Anything else I should address, given the 'age' of my current build?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Completely understand...

To the honorable Mr Sung, I completely understand having the busy life, being the rebellious scion of a multinational must be daunting. But it is good to know that you're all for rooting.

Garwynn's one-click rooted restore stock rom with only root added will get you going straight to where you want need to be, disable passwords, keep usb debugging checked, and clean slate with the on board storage with root is where you'll arrive. Straight from your current setup seems fine.

Then...install mobile odin from the play store, grab this kernel (0.5) tar version, flash the kernel.

USB debugging will be deselected on first boot of the one click, as will unknown sources from within security settings. Next thing you'll want to do after the one click settles in and you've installed the kernel is recheck both of those, then go straight to TiBu and restore your call logs, mms, etc. Some apps may be easier just to install the newer version from the play store.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sam Sung:
Thank you, micmars, for your response, and apologies for my delay. This is exactly the information I needed. Also, thanks for the additional comments and reminder of the kernel flash.

If coming from jdsingle76's stock rooted deodexed/debloated gb28 for virgin mobile found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230938 would I install mobile odin from the play store and simply flash this kernel/recovery through mobile odin and that's it? I'm asking cuz I've been reading a lot about the emmc hard brick bug and I am new to this device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
For kernel, mobile Odin should be fine. Just make sure you do at least these three things. Install mobile Odin, start it up (grant it super user rights) and let it download the extra files it needs (WiFi connection is recommended), then navigate to the location on your phone where the kernel is located and flash kernel. Tick check MD5 sum for good measure.

As a bonus, buy Mobile Odin Pro.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I stayed in Garwynn + Agat 0.5 for months, as I didn't use the underclocking features. The recovery revs are different, with 1.4.2f being one tick higher (3.5?, sorry, don't recall) than Garwynn + Agat. Aside from the clocking and recovery rev, they are pretty much identical from a user perspective. They both can restore backups interchangeably.

As Agat notes, both repacks were a joint effort, so it's no surprise that they behave similarly. You even get the crest with both.

I loved the stability of the Garwynn + Agat, but now that I'm using the governors, I love 1.4.2f.
