[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
ACS has confirmed Wireless Tether pre15 is fully compatible with DK17. Download it HERE.

Reserved for future use. Props to Shabbypenguin for releasing the bone-stock version - however, this is not based on his release.

There is no source to post for this ROM as none was released by Samsung and thus none was modified.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
holy crap how did you get this going so fast? :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] jok3sta:
flashing now :P you are the man...
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
See note above. We didn't use your files. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
We don't mess around lol. Enjoy everyone this rom rocks! We will have a big update to it soon. We are also working on a flashable .zip for the radio.

sent from my ACSyndicate powered FROYO ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
i kind of figured as much judging by the time lapse ;P
[Epic 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
Downloading now. This will be my first time using Odin so I will post results shortly!
[Epic 4G Android Development] krymzon40:
Awesome, so is this going to turn into a Froyo SyndicateROM ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
SyndicateROM "Frozen" will not be released until a build is confirmed as final. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] krymzon40:
Doh! Of course! Thanks, i'm going to try this out now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] herzzreh:
Mandatory question... Does gps work on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoothone:
Flashing now, testing rom and modem, thanks :~)
[Epic 4G Android Development] brizzle1986:
can't for this!!! i still have 7 hrs till im home so i can use odin....bummer! but if you get this released be4 then i will be very thankful!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
GPS works fine! I got a fix indoors accurate to 70 meters (AGPS on). That's not fantastic, obviously... But it's indoors. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Went to load and its over an hour 1/2 to download... Can somebody post a mirror? Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Seems you guys are lasering my host. ;) I'm uploading to Mediafire as we speak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobbywatts:
Thank you

.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
You ACS guys rock. Thanks for feeding our need for the latest and greatest!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Is there a fix for this bug?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
I had th e same problem. My fix was to reinstall ever damaging drivers and try again.that worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
Thanks!

-------------------------

Just installed it and seems ok so far..got a whitened screen crash when I first loaded it up lol but it was fine after a reset...seems like data cant be restored via clcokworkmod :/...tw keeps crashing...might be cause I'm coming from dj29...gps seems to lock solid for now...

Though by the looks of DK17 it seems like they are pretty close to releasing it:/..they readded the live wallpapers and added some new things like "Free HD Game"..though are they really gonna give us 1 free..or is it going to be buy 1 get one free kind of thing >.> lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It doesn't happen every time you use voice input. I remember this happened on the 2.1 Betas for the Moment also. The workaround then was to insert headphones into the audio jack and then remove them, or make a call and activate speaker phone then hang up. That would usually fix it. I haven't tested this on the Epic yet. Samsung didn't fix it on the Moment until the final release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Ok. I found one bug. Camera us iffy. If you take a picture un panarama mode, it frezzes the camera program. You have to terminate it to take another pic. I reflashed 3 times refreshly. And the bug still there. Anyone else noticed it? Is there a fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] los1223:
For anyone that cares or is wondering, this ROM/kernel/radio (or the combination of all 3) has dramatically improved my GPS. It was hit or miss on DI18 and amost impossible to get a lock on DK05. Its actually woking as it should for me now. I've tried outdoors, indoors, on the move (which always gave me trouble) and even on the first floor of my 8 story office building (which again, always gave me trouble) and always get an almost immediate and accurate lock. Everything is also pretty stable. Ymmv
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I remember this bug as well on the Moment. I believe it was on DC23 or DD10 where this bug happened lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
if i had to reboot the rom, do i need to redo the battery calibration as well? at 2 percent and 11+ hrs can get 4g to work but 3g nothing....had to manually turn on 3g in mobile network settings? is that the rom the battery or cause i used 4g? wierd? may have been a left over from juice defender which i turned off.... 1% now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Have a couple of questions.

What kind of battery life are you guys having?

If I do a nandroid backup, then install this rom, can I go back to my previous rom without any problem?

Will I be able to use LauncherPro?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Anyone notice the camera bug? Stops working normally.read my post a little up this page
[Epic 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Battery life is simply IMPRESSIVE. This is probably the 15th ROM I install on my Epic and no other has even come close to this. I'm quite pleased.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Ok managed to recreate the bug. Everyone try this. Turn your camera on. Select panarama. Take a picture. It will show you the pic.hit back to go back to the camera. you will notice that none of the onscreen buttons do anything. Tou have to hour back again to exit to rhw home page.them restart the camera and it works again. This big also happens randomly on single shots too. Seems ro do yet more when you review thee picture.
[Epic 4G Android Development] viper134:
First time using Odin

I plug in my phone using the usb cable and it says drivers malfunctioning, is this normal for a froyo rom? Tried to use Odin and nothing happens, was in download mode, also should we have the forced thing checked as well as auto? Any help would be great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
confirmed... it would not change shooting mode. it is bugged.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Noooooooooooo! I was soo happy with this release! Gps worked flawless! Well... I reverted to dk05 since dk17 killed the camera. Bums me out. :( I wonder if we can sonehow port dk05 camera files to dk17. Listening devs? Lol. Love u devs. U are all amazing. I wish I could plug my brain to the devs brains and obsord their knowledge. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] russwaggs:
Yes, I confirm it also. Though, I've never used panorama before tonight - so it's not a deal breaker for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
Problems with camera here too. I go straight to review then back and none of the on screen buttons do anything.

Closing and reopening lets me take another pic.

[Epic 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
Anyone notice that you can now send and receive MMS through wifi? I thought with Sprint you can only send and receive MMS with 2G/3G. I even deactivated data and was still able to send and receive MMS with this rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
Thanks, works great. Modem alone is a great improvement. Gps locks quick and time without signal has been 0% all day
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Rom works wonderful! No more fc of gtg.. gps works perfect (: and my wifi is much better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Hmm, maybe it's a Touchwiz thing. I'm using the stock Android Launcher, and everything seems fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Great, fricking odin is not working for me!? I followed the instructions perfectly. I put the pit where it needed to be and put the modem.tar under the PDA section and I only have auto reboot checked. I hook my phone up to the computer and odin can see my phone in the ID:COM section (it says 0:[COM8]).

So I click start and it says File analysis in the message field. Next it says "SetupConnection..." under File Analysis and hangs on this step forever until I disconnect.

What now??? :(

P.S. - I'm on a 2.1 custom rom if this matters

Edit: I was reading another thread and he said you have to be in dwnload mode -_-
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Damn how did I miss this release....gonna have to give it a run this weekend....thx as always for the work team!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Anyone tried pushing the old Camera.apk and see if that fix the problem? or even better, the Camera.apk from the initial or DK05 froyo build to see if this can fix the issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Im having the same problem, anyone could detail what to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JGeZau:
Thanks for the response.

And again my other questions below.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You need to put your phone into

download mode

before you plug it in.

Hold the 1 key while pressing the power button.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Thanks!!! worked! I forgot of this for the Epic, used to flashing BH2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grimace2255:
I just flashed this ROM, and now my Sprint service is down. Can't download anything from Market to restore data...

Airplane mode is constantly toggling ON/OFF.

Ideas?

I wiped the Cache and reset to factory settings 3 times using Clockworkmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Yes! That's exactly what the big does.This release fixed the gps 100%. But broke the camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
How did you select the stock android launcher?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Lol! I missed by 12 hours too. I got antsy and almost fainted. Reminds me of the ol WM flashing days. Android is awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Did you successfully flash the modem in odin before you flashed the rom zip file? If so, flash your phone with Odin back to complete stock di18, then flash back to dk17, see if that helps, let us know if not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
That exactly happened to me. you didnt flash the modem thru Odin! You have to reflash it. even thou u reflashed the dk17 modem for dk05, u still have to reflash it again. Once done, throw in dk17 and prob gone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Where is it? Ill try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hongseong:
Hey, I tried to flash the files using Odin but it always fails with the note

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

And consequently I get the picture of the computer and the phone separated by a warning triangle. Even trying to revert back to stock using DI18 isn't proving fruitful since I get the same failure when using Odin. Do y'all have any ideas how to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Didn't have to cause panorama bug can't be reproduced on my phone. It just works. Btw, I tested using three different luanchers (twlauncher, launcher pro, launcher and adw launcher).
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Which version of Odin are you using? Which files are you trying to flash?

Odin can be a real bastard at times.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Machina2o2:
The issue is your computer this failed on my laptop exactly as you see it if you try another machine everything will go smoothly
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3COMPUTERSERVICES:
Thank u for this great rom. Ive been running it for 3 days and not a single issue so far. Battery life is awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
So here's something I found, after flashing and isntalling everything, I wanted to go and remove some software that I dont need via ADB. I log in and I have SU (#) rights but when I try to remove an APK like Facebook or any other one I get an error message stating that I cant perform that operation because the Filesystem is Read - Only.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
My camera bug was fixed by reflashing this rom. I was deleting unwanted apks the other day so maybe thats what messed my camera.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hongseong:
I am using version 1.63, and at first I was trying to flash the modem and PIT as listed on the first post of this thread. After it failing and subsequently making my phone unusable (aside from being able to access download mode), I tried to revert back to the stock using the DI18 and the corresponding PIT for that.

Still got the same errors where the flashing of the files fails within 5 seconds. I'm beginning to believe (and hope) that it certainly is a computer problem as Machima2o2 has suggested.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Will this have to be done anytime I want to do admin stuff on my phone from ADB?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Alain.Alba:
Just flashed this ROM and I am happy that everything seems to be working.

On a side note, anyone else notice the keyboard lights flashing when the keyboard is left open even when the phone is not being used?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
On this rom yes. Its stock so no remount script or mounting of /system rw at boot.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
I spoke too soon. Bug is still there. It happens only when I go to review my pics or if I have review set to on instead of 2 sec.

Sent from Froyo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Lol. Yup. Bug. Well I flashed dk05 and with sdxremover I backed up the dk05 camera apk. Reinstalled dk17 and removed the camera and installed the backup camera apk from dk05. Its a no go. Launching the camera gives me a fatal error. So dk05 camera dont play nice with dk17.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
I doubt it. Start your camera and select panarama. Take a pic and then after reviewing the pix try to take another pic. Won't work.guarantee.
[Epic 4G Android Development] grimace2255:
I did NOT successfully flash the modem in Odin.

In trying to go back to 2.1, my phone doesn't boot. It just hangs at the Samsung logo...

From Clockworkmod, I was then able to boot back to dk17, but now Odin isn't pushing to the phone. I'm connected via USB to my PC, with USB Debugging ON. Odin recognizes the phone, but seems to hang. I waited 10 minutes, but no progress.

Any ideas from here?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You need to put the phone into DOWNLOAD MODE for Odin to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All and select TWLancher. Click on clear defaults. Now press the home key and select "launcher." I will warn you tho, it's not perfect, widgets resize themselves randomly, and screen rotation is a bit slow. But hey, the camera works without issue (so far from what I've seen).
[Epic 4G Android Development] lsme420:
Press 1 on your keyboard and the power button at the same time to get in to download mode, then Odin will work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangdang:
Check my update. I can recreate without taking a pic or panarama

Edit: I think panarama bugs cause it doesnt follow the 2 sec review setting.

Sent from Froyo!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
So I just tried again on panorama, and it failed on processing the pictures to make a single wide shot. Oh well, not a deal breaker.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Interresting. Ill play with the settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Kills it for me! I use the camera alot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Well back to eclair for you then. I take a lot of single shots myself, and use gps, so how it works now is fine for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Flashed the Rom and have a couple issues.

- Browser is sluggish and checkers out

- GPS is literally broken. I can get a location lock using 3g (2600 accuracy). If I use only gps, it can't find the location at all.

- New Beach live wallpaper is missing!? (I heard it was included in dj29)

What can I do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Reflash again. Use cwm and wipe all caches 3 times. Then after bot up use odin to reflash the modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Everything on my phone is running as normal. I'm working on a theme and its taking all the changes wonderfully! Rom runs amazingly fast.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Anybody experiencing some lag? Any fix for that?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Froyo
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
I'm experiencing slight lag. Though opening apps is snappier. Also, can anybody help me get that new beach live wallpaper that came with dj29?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
Where are you getting lag at? I'm not so far that I notice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
do you re-flash both the pit and the dk17 modem after the reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I'm getting some minor lag overall, but the main thing I noticed is how jittery the scrolling is in app drawers and some menus. I think it might be a graphics driver issue because I've been getting some occasional glitches and artifacts while playing Asphalt also. It's not really bad, just not as good as stock 2.1. I'm just happy that GPS cache bug seems to be fixed now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I've also notice that the buttons in the status bar sometimes freeze on me till I reboot the phone.

I had the wifi button freeze 2 times already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Alcon1198:
Here you go buddy. http://www.mediafire.com/?ycz06q656a4qen2
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Yes. It won't hurt it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Oh. Good to know. I was about to try others custome roms. Dont try to their in dk05 camera apk. Killed my camera function all together. Had to reflash to stock. Hopefully theres a new release very soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Also... Have you all noticed that stock eclair pans smoother thru touchwiz program panels? Froyo seems snappier but not as smooth. My gf epic has been on stock and evertime I use hers, its tempting to go back to eclair seens its noticably smoother. But working flash 10.1 on all sites keeps me shackled to these froyo leaks. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Big thanks man!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
I noticed this too. Its like its trying to stop the sliding window before it finishes. Doing this in gallery as well, but that's why its not the official drop pretty minor since were supposed to still be on eclair till december
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Thanks everyone for being so helpful to one another. Glad to see everyone getting along for a change. I thought I would be doing a bunch of quoting and having to answer questions but seems as if you solved them all amongst yourselves... GOOD WORK! lol

Thanks for all the kind words emails pm's etc We appreciate it and we will have a new release for you shortly and some themes as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
As our man here said, thank you all for your support.

Just a point of clarification: when we stated that our source wishes to remain anonymous, we were referring to a person. There is no source code to go with this - we do not have it. Nobody, other than Samsung and perhaps deeply internal Sprint employees, has it. So you don't need to report this thread for GPL violations. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
I know I will get flamed but what are the features of this and advantages
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
This happens to me in 2.1 so I'm not going to stress about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
This is fantastic. Everything seems smoother and faster than whatever modem/Rom comes on the phone. My only complaint is gps and my camera just fc's anytime i try to open it. Any ideas? I wiped 3 times and cleared the cache.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
I see you wiped the phone but did you do a factor data reset? If so, then try to reflash the rom on the phone, might have had a bad flash, something not getting copied properly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Did you restore data from your previous ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] elevenpoint7five:
Yeah, I know it wasn't advised but I don't know how to get my data back any other way :(. After some playing around I think it's an SD card issue. Before the media scanner runs, the camera app opens fine but won't allow me to take pics due to no media card. As soon as media scanner runs, the camera app FC's. Does this make any sense?
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
One more bug I have experienced is the data (wifi or 4G) freezing, when when I try to reset it by powering feature off (using the buttons in the status bar) it doesn't work and you see the button twitching between on / off.

up to know for the 4G, turing the phone to AP mode fixed it, but for the Wifi I had to reboot the phone.

Any suggestions?

Great work overall! Thank you guys, sure to throw a beer or two your way!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
So I put my Epic in Dowloading mode by holding 1 on the keyboard while booting. It seams Odin found my phone but when I try and flash it hangs on:

Get PIT for mapping:

I eventually got tired of looking at that screen so I powered down the phone. Now when I try and boot the phone looks like this:

I can get windows to recognize the phone in download mode (after about 50 tries) so I tried to flash again and the same thing happens. It hangs on "Get PIT for mapping".

Please help!

*forgot to mention, I don't normally have F.Reset checked (It doesn't seem to matter)*
[Epic 4G Android Development] dreamsforgotten:
@Megabiteg

Uncheck F.Reset check box.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kafluke:
I got it.

I just used my xp machine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] walord:
This is probably the best running DK17 build I've tried. I've had no FC issues, gps finally works, and it's clean without unwanted apps or junk.

I tried to replicate the issues others are having but I've had no luck in doing that. Just fyi for my install I wiped x3, reverted to DJ18 confirmed gps, cw flashed, odined, and did not restore user data.

Although I have applied BT's lagfix and all the SGS Wallpapers, I couldn't resist!

Try disabling your firewall/ antivirus. I couldn't get it to work untl I disabled Norton/windows firewall.
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
Thanks for the response, I got the DK17 installed correctly, I was failing to put the phone in Download Mode.

Any help with post #266? Thanks.
