clockwork rom manager is an app on your phone that requires root access, allows you to flash roms under the android OS and is nice and GUI (graphic user interface)

clockwork recovery is at the boot level, before the android OS loads, it's used as a minimal menu to do lower level functions such as flashing roms to your phone, clockwork rom manager uses this as it's backend for flashing roms.

androidmedia, boss rom and aosp magic are all roms (entire custom android OS packages) flashable though clockwork recovery

everything listed as a kernel is only a chunk of the OS that controls the hardware and such... they can overclock the device and improve battery etc. applications and favorites and other user data stuff is uneffected.

the weird names are just what the developers are naming their software. What you should be paying attention to are key terms like

ROM, KERNEL, RECOVERY those are the different parts that are being modified...

That being said.... for someone that researched for over a month, you don't seem to be quite getting it, also this doesn't need to be in developer forum, and all this is in the hundreds of WIKI's posted on other android devices.. also a quick google search would answer most of your questions you're having
[Epic 4G General] dnathan13:
ClockworkMod - makes a custom recovery, along with many other programs and apps, that makes flashing custom rom's and kernels much easier. Add Clockwork Recovery to your phone and you can load any custom rom or kernel you want by simply booting into recovery. Instructions to install it on your phone are in the OP (original post) of the clockwork recovery thread.

Andromeda - It is a group of custom programs noobnl has made. He made a custom kernel (this overclocks (makes faster) your cpu and undervolts (adds battery life)). His kernel also installs rom manager and super user to make make rooting more functional. Noobnl also has an andromeda rom that modifies touchwiz to be a little different with some different features. In both cases read the OP of the two threads and you will find easy installation instructions (using clockworkmod recovery) and a description of what they both do.

Aosp Magic and Tha Boss - These are both custom roms that in some way change how your phone looks and functions. Custom roms are all just ways to personalize your phone. For the most part they all install easily with clockwork recovery. Read the OP of any rom and it tells what they have done, what they do with each update, and how to install it.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but reading the OP pretty much always explains everything. I have only been doing this since they epic came out and have just learned by trying things out. It is very difficult to fully brick your phone. Most the time if you can't get your phone to work you can use Odin (see the thread for more info) to flash back to stock and start over.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Just my two cents but people who are pushed away isn't a bad thing. If they don't know what they are doing they don't need to be doing this. There are several terminology threads on this site...pushing them away means a lot less clutter in the dev threads and else where. Not that I'm saying they shouldn't be here at all, but read read read read....read....and then read some more. And if all else fails bash it with a hammer and turn it in on insurance.
[Epic 4G General] Six-Deuce:
See, its hard to really complain on this because some people are doing some cool stuff on their own effort and time, but I will agree with the OP on this. I agree that only a few lines of descriptions would not only help new users but cut a LOT of threads and posts from people interested but unsure of what do or what something is. And in fairness, it sounds pretty bad when u say that if people aren't that familiar with stuff they shouldn't try it. We don't all know everything and sometimes a little info goes a long way. But that's just my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
Unfortunately if you can't search, read, and understand all the info that is posted you'll have only one option to customize your phone...Sprint ID(which will cost you $$). I've found that none of the processes, such as rooting or flashing kernels, are difficult to perform. In fact sometimes the amount of information already provided becomes confusing to some. I understand the issue devs have with the clutter in this section of the forum. Maybe mods can help by moving topics to the general section and maybe preserving the cleanliness of this section. On the other hand, why all the rage against people asking questions? If I'm not mistaken everyone isn't magically born with all the knowledge required to customize their phone. That's why there are forums like these to provide a community where people seeking knowledge can find it. Personally I find the forums for any piece of hardware from my Directv box to my Epic to be absolutely the most valuable "manual" I can have. Its nice to rely on actual intelligent users for information and not a low paid csr with a script on the other end of the phone.
[Epic 4G General] johnsongrantr:
no problem with the questions, it's just where it's being asked is the problem. People don't think their question will be answered if asked in the general section, or the thread that relates to their problem and decides... I'll just post in the dev section.. there's smart people in that forum!

I've seen it more than once, people don't want to search, or research... or read.. they want to ask a question and have someone answer it directly without having to dig back through posts that don't relate to the question they're asking. Like I said I seen it more than once and the mentality is easy to pick up on.
[Epic 4G General] zetterwing:
Don't worry I'm on your side. I've just seen some pretty rough treatment of someone asking a question...in this forum actually(not this thread). They were posting in the wrong place but there's a better way to direct someone to the right place than to berate them. That being said go to the Search and type in "root my phone" without quotes and THIS thread shows up higher in the list than one-click-root. Tends to throw people off the search function. I know it's a faulty way of searching but it's the way people do things. Many forums have problems with their search though. A google search for root Epic 4g has similar problems...the top results link to outdated information and the one click is halfway down the page.

People don't always read the rules of a forum either...it's just human nature. At least the people that make it here are finding the smartest people to answer their questions:)

[Captivate General] killphill:
I've come across an interesting (at least now) issue w/ my Samsung Captivate. I don't know if the last OTA update is the source if I'm just "lucky". I'd rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Only loaded Titanium Backup and Busybox. I don't recall rebooting the phone since the update was installed. But I had back on Monday. When it started back up the widgets would not fully load. I had let it sit for a while and nothing. On rebooting a few times and trying different launchers, TWLauncher, ADW, and LauncherPro the issue kept occuring. Then I noticed I could not get the phone to download any new or update apps from the Android market. It would say it was getting ready to download but nothing more. To top it off the Check for Updates option would not respond from the setting menu for the phone.

After trying a few things I wound up reloading the update.zip used to root the phone and after the reboot it started working. Rebooted a couple of times to make sure it was behaving and it did. That was a big relief.

However just today I'd rebooted it again and the same issue reoccurred. Upon reloading the update.zip it once again worked as normal again.

I was considering unrooting but hesitant due to this.

Has anyone come across this or have suggestions of the root cause of this?
[Captivate General] jaredc74:
Did you use Titanium Backup to restore data to your phone? There is a known issue with TB if you restore your Accounts settings with it. It will cause the unable to download from market issues. When you do the restore, remove the checkmark from Accounts and just reinput your account info manually.

I have just installed a custom kernal to oc my cpu. I know the cpu temp should rise a little bit. Does anyone know the temp range for this processor, i tried a quick google didn't get an answer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
pretty good question,

ive only had my vibrant for 2 days, highest temp ive noticed on setcpu was 107 degrees Farenhirght.

Im not really sure whats the highest it should ever be at, on the n1 forums; someone once mentioned that it shouldnt go past 110 degrees. then someone else said 115 degrees...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
I would also like to know what is considered "safe". would like to know what temp to try to stay under.

If I had installed set cpu before I overclocked, I would have known what temp range the phone normally runs on the high end before overclock..... but i did not do that....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashed:
Your noobiest mistake was posting this in here lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MStrawder:
Then my questions would be is your phone in Download mode when you're connecting to ODIN and is ODIN recognizing your device? It sounds like it is not and that is why you get that error.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rk1n6:
yes it is in down load mode is there another way to be reconize its the caution looking sign saying do no turn off target!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MStrawder:
That is Download Mode. Does ODIN recognize the device however? Is it telling you the device is connected and showing the COM port? If not, then you need to install/reinstall the USB drivers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novek:
Haha... nice one! :D But actually... flaming is just childish, but I would be glad to see ppl actually posting "questions" in the right forum... That would be the "Vibrant Q&A"-section... But I can also see why ppl post in the dev-section, as it's here they find the stuff that "bricks" their devices, that's caused by NOT following the directions carefully...

But hey... you learn much from "bricking" it ;)

OT:

If your in DM and you can see the COM-port assigned in ODIN, you should actually be fine... Sometimes mine get stuck inside ODIN (nothing flashed), but the I just have to restart the program, and while I'm inside ODIN I re-enter DM...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rk1n6:
thank you soo much and im sorry for posting in wrong area, also thank u for reminding me that i deleted the samsung drivers a while back.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elsocplayer:
Which windows are you using? If you're on Windows 7 are you running Odin as administrator? For some reason I can't get it to work and odin hangs as administrator so I just run it by double clicking on it w/o options. Try doing both and see what works for you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
When you have Samsung drivers up and running, make sure your phone is off and Odin is not running. Then, start Odin, plug USB in to your phone while holding both volume keys, do not press power.... your phone should go into download mode and Odin should see it and it should flash.

I have to do it in that order, otherwise Odin wont work for me. Some people say that you should hold volume keys and power Ans then connect USB. If I do that, then Odin sees my Device, but doesn't flash. Just,fyi.

[EVO 4G General] bigupurself7:
Does anyone know where I can find an app that has instant news alerts like the Iphone has? Ive tried the foxnews app, but it doesn't send it instantly. If there is no app, is there a good sms service that delivers news instantly?
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I've never had an iphone, but why not try the sense news widget? I don't use it, but it appears to be RSS feeds.
[Epic 4G General] Vandam500:
I just want to know if you are happy about giving up your Evo and getting the Epic or if you regret the switch? Also please tell of any other experiences you've had with it so far :)
[Epic 4G General] mike21pr:
Yes. I still miss Sense sometimes but I calmed that itch with launcherpro full and fancy widget. It doesn't give you the full sense experience with core apps modified but its good enough for me. Hardware is amazing compared to the evo

Better screen

Better camera

Better hd video recording

Cpu/gpu amazing!!!!

I thought I was not gonna like the keyboard but it was so useful for my university classes (I even coded some c++ homework assignments on the epic and ran it on my schools computer)

Gps is still a downer... it works but unreliable

Overall, I don't regret the switch
[Epic 4G General] Spurs_Redskins:
Yes, but I miss the 4G speeds I had on my EVO and HDMI. Had more resources with HTC dev team too.
[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
I was one of the people that got the HTC EVO 4G on the day it was released... man was that a big mistake. Honestly, it was one of the worst phones I've ever used. I hated the build quality, it was super flaky. I actually went through 2 EVOs within my first two weeks or so because the USB port stopped charging.

Of course, yeah at first when I got the EVO I thought it was cool and all but the coolness wore off pretty quickly when I started to see all the many flaws it had, to name a few, the FPS cap (FINALLY fixed), build quality, very laggy with HTC Sense UI, things like that. I eventually took the phone back because I actually paid full price so that I wouldn't use up my upgrade and it definitely wasn't worth wasting my money on. After having an EVO, I really started to look down on HTC. They used to be the only brand of Android phone I would ever get, but now I won't touch them ever again. I went back to my HTC Hero and after that went semi-bad I traded it in for a Samsung Moment just to not deal with HTC anymore.

Once I heard about the Epic 4G I was stoked, I thought this phone is gonna beat the **** outta the EVO... I was right, I am so glad I switched! The only thing I wasn't looking forward to with the Epic was having a built in keyboard and I rarely ever use it, ever, but I guess its still nice to have on occasion. Don't believe when people say, "If you want a hardware keyboard, get the Epic, if you don't get the EVO...", I didn't want a hardware keyboard but I still got the Epic just because the hardware overall is much much better!

Anyways, sorry for the long post but yeah, I switched from the EVO and I will never look back.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Still have the EVO but it sits on the shelf now. I haven't looked back either. Screen is so much bigger on the EVo, but camera and video capture is so bad on the EVo The keyboard is nice though I don't use it at times. Epic very satisfied
[Epic 4G General] Envynet:
I just made the switch and don't regret it one bit. When this phone gets froyo it is going to smoke the evo. With baked rom this phone is amazing compared to evo.

I have not used my keyboard once yet but it will be nice with snesoid and etc.

Overall very happy with my switch.
[Epic 4G General] Vandam500:
Thanks for the responses everyone! Definitely sounds like a keeper and a nice upgrade to the Evo :)
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
is it true the evo has faster evo 3g than epic?
[Epic 4G General] Mama Luigi:
Yes. Epic currently has an upload speed capped at 150 kbps. I have an evo and an epic right here and I just did a speed test on both.

Evo: 1570/646

Epic: 1404/116

Other than that, I generally prefer the epic. Less laggy, even after the evo's 30 fps cap fix. Better gpu. Screen is slightly smaller but less washed out. I don't even use the keyboard for typing usually but it's great for games. The only other things better about the evo are community and vendor support. And the kickstand of course.
[Epic 4G General] 4wesome:
i just switched from the evo to epic. seems pretty good so far. screen diff noticable though, colors better. update in a week.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
it sucks at home i usually top out at 600 but around town or even at my buddies down the street we top out at 1.7mbps
[Epic 4G General] dever76:
I'm more than satisfied with the Epic. I had the Evo for 29 days, so I got a good impression of the device and its faults.

The smooth responsiveness of the Epic is great compared to the Evo, which was laggy at often choppy (using menus, scrolling apps list etc). The Evo had touch response lag also, the Epic does not.

The screen on the Epic is also a nice improvement over the Evo. Being .3" smaller is worth the brilliant colors and black blacks of Super AMOLED goodness.

Gaming on the Epic is also far better than the Evo, everything just runs smoothly, and it's responsive. The Evo always felt like it was struggling in 3D games, and the touch input lag made some games un-enjoyable.

Having the keyboard is not a major deal for me, but it's nice that it's there for certain situations. I use Swype most of the time.

Battery life is better also.

The Epic has its faults too, but to me, they are less egregious than the Evos.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Really? The battery life is BETTER? how is that possible. If you use the phone (epic) normally at all it barley lasts a full work day and it certianly wouldn't last into the afterwork party time which is when it's VERY important!!
[Epic 4G General] 4wesome:
try a different kernel.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
My Epic easily lasts me all day long.... but for those times when I'm doing heavy duty movie watching or game playing, I keep a spare battery handy. Small and easy to carry around.

It definitely lasts longer than the EVO's did, even with a different kernel.

So far I'm much happier with the Epic than I was with the EVO....... but I'm a speed freak and the EVO's processor was just too outdated for me.
[Epic 4G General] itsmebryan:
Why are questioning what he said about battery life? Are disappointed that he said the battery life is better? You seem to really not like the EPIC. So take it back. Why do you keep the phone? Are you here just trolling to be negative or are you here to contribute to the community?
