I tried this build on my phone and it worked great. Thanks for your time and talent in making these available, it's much appreciated.

For now, though, I'm using 4.3.1, which is great and all, but I would much prefer using KitKat. Since I use FreedomPop as my provider, I'm dependent on their app in order to get service, and as of this post, FreedomPop's app crashes in KitKat. I contacted FreedomPop via their Facebook page, and they confirmed their app is not supported ATM in KitKat. Damn, it's one thing or the other, when you're a cheapskate such as me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
You sir deserve a thanks for letting me know about freedom pop! I'm super cheap!

So far so good. I can't use the extreme kernel, but the modified twrp seems to play nice with this build for me.

Anyone tried out art?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Yeah. Many people have. Check back a couple pages.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
I meant on the newest build and only just skipped a page or two from last. I was reading pages before that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Yes. The newest build is 12/07 and that's what people have been trying art on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
I think my original comment shows I obviously know that. Im sorry I have not read every single page. I now saw a couple comments. I was also looking for more than just one maybe two inputs as everyone uses different apps and settings....Im sorry for looking for useful input. Especially since it's not my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
I was trying to be helpful by pointing you in the right direction. And you really don't have to read every single page. The most recent discussion was only a few pages back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkangels6sic6:
That's my point. I've on and off been through pages and saw a few things. Less being of the most recent build and was looking for a few more peoples experience.

So you just coming up saying that and then after me saying I saw some pages for you to say it again and tell me which build was the newest seemed more like you were assuming I didnt read or understand much rather than helping

Sorry if I missed this one too, but what's up with the boot animation? When I replace it I just get android flashing boot animation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
Now that one I'm not so sure about. It hasn't been asked here. I just tried to replace it and Im getting the same thing. That's odd.

Sorry and thank you.

So I've been running this ROM for a week or so now, and before this I was running cm 10.1. For some reason tho at certain points in time my phone decides to the it send any texts. Sometimes it lasts for a few minutes, sometimes hours. I've only ever had this problem on CM roms. Clean flash, using the kernel that comes with it. Could it be that I need to update my prl/profile? Been quite some time since I did that.

Has anyone changed the lcd density? I've tried using both System Tuner Pro and Rom Toolbox Pro to change it in the build.prop but it just reverts to 240:( EDIT: Probably a superuser issue:mad: I'll flash Super Su later and try again.

After switching back and forth between davik and ART, I find making a call out actually works with their Messaging app. Although there's a dialog on the screen saying the app has stopping running, you can ignore it and finish talking. It is that when others call me, the phone will briefly ring and crash the app afterwards.

I bought this phone to use with Freedompop. They are super.

I use BuildProp Editor and am on lcd_density=198. No issues observed.

I used to have gapps FCs under ART, after switching back to Davik and back again (wipe davik cache and cache every time), these FCs went away.

I edited mine with with BuildProp Editor and it stuck fine with the SU that's included . I did not need to flash another SU . BuildProp editor is for one thing , and that's editing the buildprop so when you open the app you are in the file in edit mode ready to go . Edit , save and reboot . Check it out on the play store .

Excuse me while I rant for a moment...

What the heck is the deal with installing this ROM? I am no where near a noob by all means and I cannot get this installed for the life of me. I am currently on stock rooted GB27 since I got tired of fighting this. I see that there is a video on the installation process if you are already on an AOSP based ROM but what about Touchwiz? You're neglecting half of the user base for the E4GT.

Can anyone that has successfully installed this coming from Touchwiz write a simple step by step guide to help myself and the countless others that are asking the same question?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
Lol running it right now not a single problem.... Start by flashing 4.3 first
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I'll give it another shot, I was getting the error about the build.prop not matching... I was using CWM 6 since the recovery included in AGAT's is only CWM 5 and I was getting Status 7.

You need twrp. Your right installing theses new ROMs has been tough if coming from touchwhiz.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
TWRP is a huge PITA as well... I have downloaded TWRP 2.6.3 and it's not a very big file, only a few hundred kb. I try to install that using the latest CWM and when I reboot to recovery it goes right back into CWM and not TWRP. If there was a full kernel with TWRP built in that I could use to flash the ROM I imagine things would be a lot easier.

[MENTION=2992811]Mattix724[/MENTION], good to hear from you again. Just install Hood Pope, and you will have the correct recovery.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

You don't even need to install gapps with hood pope, just let it boot, then go back to recovery and flash villuminati and 4.4 gapps

Hi, I've tried this ROM and everything goes fine, except the mobile/3g data connection.

I've flashed the latest ICS modem from Rwilco site, FL24, but the mobile data connection still not work. :(

Can anyone help me to fix this problem..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Are you doing a full wipe and using the correct gapps recommended in the op?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theechap:
I'm running that modem too. I had a lot of problems with it after a dirty flash but wiping the phone and starting fresh fixed most of it. Sometimes it will still say that it is connected when it's really not, but it doesn't happen very often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Willya:
Yes, I did full wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Install the ROM, recommended gapps and then reboot.

In the notifications panel it says that "No Internet Connection", but the cell phone signal is there and I can send/receive call & sms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Okay, this is where I give up for tonight. I was able to get CM 10.2 installed from stock GB27. I cannot get CM 11 installed for the life of me.

Here's what I'm doing...

1. One Click GB27 Rooted Restore.

2. Odin the EL29 direct boot recovery.

3. Install Hood Pope.

4. Install JB gapps.

5. Let the ROM boot. ROM boots just fine.

6. Reboot to recovery. Create a backup.

7. Flash TWRP 2.6.3

8. Reboot to recovery, nothing changes. Still CWM 6.

9. Attempt to flash CM 11... Boot up to boot animation, wrong animation that is. Showing default Android animation and looping. Never booting.

10. Odin the EL29 direct boot, flash Hood Pope, reboot recovery, restore backup.

11. Used CM Updater to get the latest 10.2 nightly.

12. Give up. I now have a headache.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
[Edit] (Let me format this for others)

I want to be very verbose so let me know if I need to be clearer.

If your coming from touchwhiz:

1. Make sure you have Samsung drivers for the phone (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-D710ZKASPR)

2. Download this

http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ICS AOKP/Times_Infinity TWRP Repack/One-Click

(Rev 2)

3. Run it (windows only)

4. Reboot your phone into download mode (by pressing volume up and off button and push vol up when prompted)

5.Plugin your phone to the computer. If a light turns on in the program press start.

You should now have an old twrp.

Now install the newest twrp (https://skydrive.live.com/redir?res...5&authkey=!APeE-hNBwztaIZk&ithint=folder,.zip)

You should now be able to install this and other kit kat roms. This is at least how I did it after restoring to stock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I notice by the size of that file you are using a full kernel that has TWRP built in... So the problem is with TWRP being injected into an existing kernel?

Why the heck does this have to be such a pain in the butt?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Going from a TW ROM, this is what has always worked for me:

1. Boot into the TW recovery (I was on the Agat kernel).

2. Flash an ICS modem.

3. Flash the latest blasphemy kernel (which uses CWM v.6 - you can flash Hood Pope but all you need is the blasphemy kernel+recovery to flash this ROM)

4. Reboot into recovery.

5. Wipe data, the caches.

6. Flash this ROM.

7. Flash the gapps (use one of the mini-KK gapps listed in the OP).

8. Reboot into this ROM.

I've used TWRP on this phone but not with this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Willya:
theechap, Can you give me step-by-step you flash the ROM & modem?

Any other solutions to my problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theechap:
I'll try to remember all my steps coming from stock TW. First I rooted my phone and installed an AGAT recovery. Then I formatted system, cache, data, and dalvic. Then I installed CM 10.2, which replaced my recovery to CWM. I used that for a week until I just formatted system, cache, data, and dalvic again and installed the 12-7 build of CM 11. Then I followed up with the correct GAPPS.

I've never used the EL29 boot recovery before and I've had issues with TWRP on my TouchPad so I only try to stick with CWM recoveries since I've NEVER had an issue with them.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Willya:
After you install CM 10.2, did you also install GAPPS? And did you reinstall FL24 modem after it, or leave the stock TW modem that has been installed?

What version of CM 10.2 that you used before?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
No no no...,leave out twrp! Don't worry about gapps when you install hood pope. Just install hood pope, boot, reboot to recovery, make sure its cwm 6.0.4.4 or 6.0.4.5, either will work, then follow dastins instructions to a T. You won't be disappointed, I've been running villuminati as a dd since its release. If you need more advice, let me know
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theechap:
After installing 10.2, i did install gapps and set the whole phone up because I was going to wait a little while before jumping to CM11. As you could see, I couldn't help myself. :o

I did install the FL24 modem just before installing CM10.2. The version I installed was Hood Pope because the official nightlies didn't exist. Once it went official, I did a dirty install of the official nightly and it all worked fine (I'm assuming there really isn't a difference between them). It's from the official 10.2 nightlies that I wiped it all clean and installed CM11.

Besides the initial install of the AGAT recovery to get CM 10.2 installed, I've never installed another recovery. The CM builds have them built in I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Okay, so if I understand correctly... I will be coming from the latest CM 10.2 nightly 12292013 and I'll simply reboot to recovery and flash CM 11 and the mini kit Kat gapps package. Reboot and I should be running with no problems?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
You are correct sir! Just make sure when u reboot to recovery fro hood pope, that you have cwm 6.0.4.4 or 6.0.4.5.

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

@Mattix724, I'm not sure about the nightlies, I don't know what recovery they use, as I have not used them. But I do know that dastins hood pope ROM does. That's what I did anyway, and have been using 4.4 villuminati before the 4.3 nightlies were released.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Soured Lie:
I guess I'm one of those lucky people that have zero issues with this ROM. It works great. I wish I could say I liked 4.4 as I prefer 4.2. Good job dastin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The Dec 4th version has been a perfect daily driver. I never bothered with the 7th due to some early reports but now that it has gone from DD to wifi toy I probably wouldn't even notice if I did update it.

Main thing at the moment is its an early CM11 build missing alot of the features I am used to and even some stock things from the Nexus as well I believe. But that aside it was better than my experiences on CM10.1 and 10.2. GPS (random luck right?) hasn't worked this good since when I first got the device its awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Yes and no.

When you boot into recovery, first make a nandroid backup.

Next, wipe data and the caches.

Finally, flash CM11 and the mini-KK gapps.

Reboot and you should be good to go.

If your one clicking gb27 doesn't that give you a JellyBean radio ? If I'm starting from scratch I one click FL24 so as to have an ICS radio . You must be flashing radio too ?

Nothing seems to fix the problem. Anyone else experiencing problems with the Play Store, and have a solution?

I think I read something about that being a known issue with 4.4 roms with Viper at the moment until an update arrives zhuhang (the maintainer if viper) claims that Viper isn't funny functional to begin with and their will be some audio quality loss when moving from 4.3 to 4.4... If anyone knows, is there any real significant change in audio quality coming from stock 4.4 over 4.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IamFlynn:
You don't need to flash back to EL29 ( I used to do this as well) But you just have to be on a safe recovery is whats recommended.

The reason he did it this way was it was efficient and it was clean and full wipe and there is no problem flashing a rom this way.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ryuk666:
You have to delete some of the system apps to make space. I deleted Google Earth, movies and TV, newsstand, and a few others. Then you can move apps into the system if you have enough free space.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Well that stinks. I guess I'm going back to CM 10.1 until 3g is fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Well I'm not sure what exactly I did wrong but I get everything installed and come to a black home screen...no icons, no anything, just a black screen. I can't long press anything, I can't hardware key anything to get stuff up.

I can however get into settings and check on things, and it says baseband fi22, and android 4.4. I can also set settings within the system, but I can't do a thing other than that.

I can long hold my home hardware key and the task manger list comes up, and I see the cm logo on the background. Kinda puzzling as to why I can't see my home screen, which won't let me see my app drawer either :(.

I've tried a dozen times and probably some of those are different ways, but still get the back home screen.

UPDATE:

I found out, it's the gapps install causing the issue, I installed the rom only, and it's up and running,

I also heard Google made the decision to stop supporting Android 4.4 on the Galaxy Nexus.....is this true?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
When i install it i have no launcher whatsoever. Does anyone else get this problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Sounds like my issue or similar to it.

Try 2 things

1: install JUST the rom without gapps, that will eliminate gapps being the issue. You really won't have to worry about gapps anyways unles you jsut want the full affect of the rom and what it's like, because as of right now no 3g will work, although wifi does work however so you could use wifi I spose.

The rom will still run fine without gapps

or

2: If you boot fine after that it tells me it's the gapps install, so you need to find another install of gapps....here is a link to xda thread for gapps I found and worked for me, I used the full version and it worked fine http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

My issue was as I stated above, the gapps install I was useing....it was a like module gapps install, not sure what the difference is, but the full fixed it for me.

I am SO waiting for the 3G/data fix, then I am on this bad boy for sure

Hope that fixes it for ya
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Are you using the gapps from this op.i beleive you have to .it contains the new google launcher.

Looks like i have to install the full Gapps then. Thank you guys. One issue now is that it won't detect my phone through usb and I can't mount it through my computer to transfer over the new Gapps.
