[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Migital Warfare:
I gave it a shot, I installed Froyo on my Epic, and flashed Epic Experience 2.04 to it. Frankly, I don't see what the big deal is. Nothing animates smoothly, there are hesitations before apps launch, scrolling is jerky, and the whole phone just seems generally unresponsive. Not saying it's Schizo's fault, his ROM has been pretty solid. I think it has more to do with the leaked versions of Froyo that everyone has focused development on.

What I don't get is why everyone is attempting to develop for Froyo, when they only have a flawed foundation to build from. It seems like Eclair has been abandoned, and I just don't get why someone would prefer to have the minor upgrades of Froyo if it means sacrificing the stability and speed of Eclair.

This realization started for me on Friday, when a friend of mine wanted to see why I switched from the iPhone to the Epic, and everything that I demonstrated performed like crap. Hell, even something as basic as the photo gallery was sluggish, jerky, and gave a very underwhelming demonstration.

Is it just me? Is it just my phone? Please tell me there are others out there that have the same experience with their phone.

Ok I'm quite new to all of this

Right now I can't get the Di18 .zip to download fully so I'm gonna rely on Odin if anything goes wrong/I want to go back. So I just wanted some clarification...

1. When somebody refers to the modem, is that the .pit file? From what I understand you have to have the right modem for the right kernel

2. If were to go to a Di18 based ROM, like Syndicate or Andromeda, and wanted to go back to my stock Di18, I don't have to worry about the modem or the .pit? (if I'm right the .pit is the modem)

3. Is there a zimage of the Di18 kernel for Odin? I ask this because I read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032&highlight=di18, which says I can use either the full stock tar for a full wipe, or just the kernel zimage tar, but I can only find the full stock di18 tar from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794138

4. Finally, if someone does point me to the di18 kernel zimage, and I'm coming back to stock from a di18 based rom, (like syndicate) could I just odin the kernel, then use clockwork to restore my stock ROM? (Basically I'd want to avoid having to Odin the full tar so I don't wipe everything)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
If you use the full DI18 .tar through odin, it will automatically flash the kernel. You can always flash a custom kernel as well, such as Devin's Xtreme kernel. The .pit is not the modem, that would be the modem.bin inside of the .tar file. You could basically get just the modem.tar and flash that with odin, then use clockwork to flash a DI18 ROM and kernel.

I had a lot of issues getting my gps back. I encourage you to find the thread specific to that problem, but it hours basically like this: Odin back to stock DI18, get gps lock. Odin in just the DK28 modem, get gps lock, odin in full DK28, get gps lock. Apps 'gps test' and 'gps status' are both helpful in acquiring lock.

As for backing up your data, I have successfully restored just data from a nandroid backup (using clockworkmod) as well as from Titanium Backup. Both methods will require root.

YES definately huge help...I'm pretty savy with knowing how to handle most situations that can go wrong when hacking and modifying my phone but ODIN is just a new situation and brand new method for me, but I'll see what the stock DK28 performs like and take a look at the Mammon's ROM.

i have a refurbished epic from asurion i flashed the 2.2.1 Froyo (DK28) using the method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861213 now it wont let me return to stock using odin it keeps freezing is there another way to return to stock, it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1greek4u:
This might all seem trivial, but this is what you do.

Most important of all, is to use a usb port that is DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO YOUR MOTHERBOARD. Even when you use one of these, it still might hang, so try another one.

1.) Restart PC, make sure you don't have any apps running

2.) Start Odin, select pit and PDA files

3.) Put phone in download mode, plug in to USB port

4.) Wait for COM# (whatever it is) to come up and make sure windows says it recognizes the device. (If you've used this port before it might not say anything)

5.) Hit start.

6.) Don't touch anything.

If it hangs for longer than say, a minute on any step start the process over against with a different USB port. Any time I tried flashing and it hung on factory.fs the green bar never came up so this is a good indicator that you may need to try again.

To illustrate how much power this draws from your PC, my usb keyboard turns off any time I use ODIN and I have to restart my computer when I'm done to get it working again.

Good luck

quick question:

I read somewhere that a nandroid back up has 3 images, a data, system, and boot (in regards to if i ever wanted to do a nandroid restore via adb)

but looking at my backups it has data, system, and cache images....is this just semantics and nandroid works differently for the epic, or is something wrong with my clockwork?

thanks in advance

Overclock

Is there a step by step for this. After I chose and download a kernel that is OC and have SetCPU what then?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decalex:
Looks normal to me. (i have the same) If you had apps moved to sd, you would have an additional img of .android_secure

Sent from the future.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styles420:
Then you use SetCPU to set the CPU speed... anyone who has used the app, please feel free to elaborate on how to use it properly, as I haven't messed with it yet (but I do have a fairly good working knowledge of overclocking, before anyone is tempted to flame me for a post about an app I haven't tried, lol)

But the main purpose for my post is to help a newbie out with some clarification - we don't have the source for the Froyo kernel yet (unless it dropped while I was at work tonight, and no one posted about it in the dev thread...), which means we don't have any custom kernels for 2.2 (and therefore no 2.2 overclocking just yet)

So make sure you aren't trying to use a 2.1 kernel with a 2.2 ROM - you will run into problems if you mix the two, possibly resulting in a brick (although you should be able to recover from it using Odin... but you're better off not trying to find that out the hard way).

Which Epic 4G ROM has these features?

Where can I find a guide/list of ROM features or ratings? Before I root, I'd like to know what I'll be giving up/gaining. The main features I'm looking for:

- Froyo 2.2

- 4G support

- Wifi tether (infrastructure mode)

- Swype

- Improved battery life

- Remove bloatware, etc.

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere. Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styles420:
Look at the thread for each ROM, the devs are usually good about listing the features and issues with their ROMs, and the responses will indicate the successes and fails users are experiencing. No one should have to hold your hand and rewrite the info that is already posted, if you just takea few minutes to read the threads

EDIT: Someone was nice enough to start a thread about all of the ROMs, it links to a blogspot post which then links to each of the ROMs, and screen shots when available. You could also check the Wiki, although it wasn't completely up to date the last time I checked it.

ok..i deleted every contact and all fb accounts..... i exported my contacts...and yes, i store them to my phone and not google... but either way i restored and imported them back. no luck.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you manually hit the sync contacts on your FB? Then it also takes a while but you will see some pix showing up. I think when you restore the contacts like you did it also restores the current links so you are just restoring the same issue. Try deleting the FB account one more time, then delete a contact from your phone, then re-add the contact and store on Google, re-add your FB account and sync. Text that person and see if the pic shows up.

I think this has been mentioned, but has anyone experienced random shut downs on EF02? I think this started happening to me when I switched to the EF10 modem, but I am not sure if that is it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Those are modem crashes my friend. You will get them in low signal areas. Welcome to leaky ROMs. It is in the ROM. EC05 modem will not reboot but will give you the no signal circle requiring a reboot to get signal back. These will hopefully be fixed with final release.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
It's not a modem crash. How do I know? I've been in Airplane mode! (with WiFi on)

It does this only every 6 hours or so. Actually, maybe it is the modem since I'm not giving out any signal for a really long time. Idk. The reason why is because I'm at camp right now and there is no signal whatsoever, so I leave on Airplane Mode to prevent Modem Crashes (which works pretty well) Otherwise, when I get back home, I won't have this problem for sure as I never had this problem before I got here.

Hey everyone, got a problem I haven't found a fix for yet.

My SD card will randomly eject itself. Re-inserting the card does nothing. The only way the card will be read again is if I turn off, turn on the phone.

I'm on syndicate rom frozen 1.2 with the genocide kernel 2.0. I pretty much followed the how to video posted on the epic forums.

I've redone the process a few times and have the same SD card problem. I've also tried 2 different cards...

Should I take my phone in to Sprint? Or is there known problems with this and there's a fix I haven't seen yet?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I have not seen this anywhere either. I would try Odin'ing a stock EC05 (which you would need to do anyway to take it to Sprint) and see if it does it there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beno*:
That is odd. The fact that you've tried two SD cards makes it even more strange. However, you may want to try copying all your data from the SD card to a computer, then formatting the SD card in the phone, then put the data back. I've seen that work for many with various SD card troubles...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasskull666:
Makes me think you have a broken sdcard slot. I personally would take it to Sprint and have them make sure the clasp is still operating like it should.

You might try backing up and reformatting your sd card. Format it in the phone for best compatibility.

So I figured out it does move the apps to the SD. It just doesn't show the change in the internal memory that the app is taking up like in Gingerbread.

Question about EG22, coming from EC05

New to Odin.....If I'm running SRF 1.2 on EC05, can I just ODIN the new EG22 modem (just the modem) over it and keep all my settings and ROM and stay EXT4 rather than have to switch back to RFS? Even if I can, should I? Or should I wait for the official Gingerbread?

AND, if I'm going to update my modem, should I use EE03 instead of EG22? Everyone seems to be saying EG22 drains battery faster and EE03 is great on battery. BUT, does EE03 have a noticeable difference compared to EC05? Knowledgeable opinions welcome lol. Feel free to throw EF02 of EF10 into the mix as well for best modems combining functionality w/ battery life.

Gracias te nada por favor.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beno*:
Depends on which modem your phone likes best. For me, EE03 works best, and I've tried EC05, EF02 and EF10, but not EG22 yet. Once you flash you can just flash a different modem every couple days and compare signal and battery life. Check out this thread for all you need for that:

i am not sure if i am asking this in the correct thread, and i hope i dont get in trouble for it. My question is, Does anyone know of a kernel that will allow google's music app to stream our music from our cloud?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
A kernel would not make a difference when it comes to streaming music from cloud. To fix the problem, it may be simply b/c you forgot a setting (if you go into the music app, hit menu > settings and make sure your email is activated). If that is not the case, it is possible it's just the ROM that is having issues and a reflash would probably not fix that so you may wanna try a different rom if you really want cloud.

My advice is to not worry about it if it is the ROM because we're getting another leak (hopefully the last one) this weekend so maybe that'll fix the problem.

What ROM are you on though? I'm assuming EG22 b/c some others had this issue.

Make sure you have journaling enabled and do not do any improper shut downs like pull battery before the final vibration and a few seconds after, drop the phone, or run the battery all the way down. Data corruption causes your FCs.

As for leaks, leaks are not official releases. Rumor is there will be a newer leak this weekend. Hopefully our final beta test (we know we are the beta testers for Samsprint) before OTA end of the month.

Ran into a small problem. I follow the huge How to Root thread step by step, I used the one click root method that installed CWM 3.1 , went ahead and made a backup at that point. After that I installed Syndicate Frozen 1.2 , backed up , then threw on MattedRed (ObsidianRed) This was my first time playing with roots and I didn't realize I could back everything up and pull it back with TitaniumBackup.

I dediced to flash back to my original restore point where I could grab some texts and settings I had saved BUT. I got an error when trying to flash back...

It goes through "Checking MD5 sum" then says there is an error trying to flash.

I decided to just run back to point A, I Odin'd back to stock, did the one click root again so I was right where I was when I made the restore, still get the error.
