[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squshy 7:
I apologize for the ignorance in advance.

when using using odin, when does the modem come into play? im finally going to go to dk28 from di18 because of the new ext4 support...

most guides, especially in the wiki, just instruct to use the .tar.md5 and the pit...

but a couple of posts (like ACS guide) link to the modem as well...

so what's the difference? what is the modem and when is it necessary to odin it?

do I even need to worry about it?

EDIT: I've read other posts in this thread and it SEEMS like it depends on whoever's method youre using (ACS post says modem, but whosdaman's *OFFICIAL* thread is a full .tar.md5 that includes modem data....

BUT...I still want to know what the modem actually is. I'd like an understanding of it so I could intuitively know if I have to deal with a modem in the future. Us IS guys don't like "because it says so" explanations lol. I like background info.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmorf33:
I'm in a very similar spot as Squshy 7. Trying to get the files I need to flash up to DK28 and try out a new ROM (probably bonsai); however, in searching through the plethora of threads dedicated to DK28 and instructions, i've found quite a few subtle variances in all of them, leaving me a little confused on exactly which files i need to download.

I'm currently on ACS' DI18 based Syndicate ROM w/ Xtreme Kernel (latest of each)

I'm not afraid of Odin, so if that's the best way, that's fine.

I just need to know what files i need for the best, cleanest, bugfree flash. I will probably be going to EXT4 as well, so that probably makes a difference.

Is the post by artemis-nyc with the dk28 + cwm redirect + root what i want? It has odex'd and deodex versions. I've also seen links to the official .rel.md5 file on the Wiki... there's also the ACS DK28 DEODEX, and there's also noobnl's ODEX'd DK28. He has the modem flash here too...

I guess my biggest problem is there is just so much info on the forum right now, with people replying on different threads, so its really hard to keep straight what is the current stuff, and what is older/buggy stuff that should probably be avoided. I might be making this harder than it is lol.

I'm inclined to think is all I need is the dk28 modem then flash whatever rom I want, following their specific instructions. Is that correct?

I have the epic 4g. I recently installed the leaked copy of 2.2 froyo. Im not sure how i did it. But i went to use one click root on my mac, and it wont finish the install. It goes into recovery, i hit the apply sd card update with my home key, it starts and then stops and says installation aborted, status 2.

Alright, weird problem I'm having. My phone started acting weird on the leaked DK28 stock, so I wanted to start over with a new rom. I can get Odin to work with the phone in download mode, but once I returned to stock, I can't get the phone to work over USB in operating mode. The computer recognizes the connection, but I can't get to the SD card contents. Even the one.click.root can't find it. Yes I have the drivers installed, yes I've tried both debugging and not in debugging. Anyone have any suggestions before I smash this phone for a new one VIA insurance?

Kitchen

1.My question (coming from window mobile) is those guys over on PPC geeks( probably here also) put together a kitchen whereas you can pick and choose what app's you would like on your phone, what would be the cause (if any) that would prevent Linux (Android) from deploying the same principal/method?,

2. also why are the people who gain knowledge from other are so rude and mean when it comes to others, what I mean I use to drop by XDA from window just for a peek,XDA devs use to be so patient and kind, but NOW, Wow! never have I seen so much hate towards another person including towards other chef's-Dev's!! (excluding Viper room), alot of people are not Chefs/Devs, but they do donate b'cause they don't have time to dig into the whole coding/kernal world of Linux[ I myself was taught C.O.B.O.L years ago, now I work with windows day in day out.

I say just go with odin its really ez I was kind of scared when I first used it but worked out great
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extasy88:
Okay. I'm coming from the Samsung Captivate. It first seemed to me that since they are almost basically the same phone, flashing would be the same. I've successfully rooted and all that jazz but I'm not able to flash any ROM successfully. When I was on the Captivate, all I had to do was flash back to stock (to rid of any lagfix there might be) with Odin, then flash whatever ROM I wanted. I'm assuming the Epic is a tad bit different. So.. just wondering if anyone could help me. I've flashed back to stock 3 times and I've only had this phone for less than 6 hrs... Could someone point me in the right direction?

yea i done all that i check all ports plus i see some developer has froyo roms on here so i thought there would be a gingerbread one
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
No, even those 2.2 roms are limited, as we don't have the source to make OC custom kernels and such yet
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicGemini:
Ok, i'm a complete noob to this but i have been doing some reading but i have questions. I got tired on waiting for the OTA froyo upgrade so a couple weeks ago i search the web, found the software and followed the apply" update.zip in recovery mode" instructions to install 2.2 froyo

this is what i followed http://www.gforgames.com/how-tos/samsung-epic-4g-android-22-install-2276/

Anyways, my phone has been running fine with no issues so far (still shows the 2.2.1 firmware, 2.6.32.9 kernel version and BUILD # states FROYO.DK28) so i went ahead and followed the rooting instructions found on here and rooted my phone.

followed this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

Now this is the my real question, i really just want to overclock my phone for more speed and kinda interested in trying a few ROMS to see if i like them so is it possible to just overclock my phone without adding a new ROM?(im assuming changing kernel changes the speed?) If so, can you provide me with steps in doing so and where would i find a list of available kernels?

if not, is there a thread with all the available ROMS for the epic and the speed that they provide compare to what i got right now?

Sorry for the all the questions...

[Fascinate General] Droid_Hellion:
So I am wondering what others opinions are of the roms and kernels available for the SF. Doesn't seem to be much of an improvement on Quadrant scores utilizing another rom or even stupidfast kernels.

Are we just kind of screwed a bit until 2.2? Is there a kernel that is overclocked?

TIA.
[Fascinate General] NOsquid:
Quadrant scores are mostly meaningless, and 2.2 is unlikely to be revolutionary. The phone performs well on 2.1 - keep reading the forum and you'll get there.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
In my opinion the biggest performance increases ive seen werent in any benchmarks but in dj05. it runs amazing. If u havent tried it i dont know whether you should or not. With the impending froyo release no one knows if they are actually going to release DJ05 or not. I think they should release it and then put froyo on top of that foundation if at all possible

Sent from my SCH-I800(tab) using ksizzle9's crazy kool ROM(bone stock with root) from within the XDA App
[Fascinate General] Droid_Hellion:
What do you feel about DJ that helped it out?

I finally stayed with just a Voodoo lag kernel. There certain operations on the phone I had gotten used to that were slow. The kernel with lag fix did show me noticeable improvement, more than just a higher I/O score in Quadrant.

I think the phone is fairly solid on 2.1 but needs a little help. Hopefully the Froyo upgrade really is around the corner but Im not holding my breath ;)
[Fascinate General] jpcdeux:
I'm running DJ05 deox, and the stock DJ05 kernel. I used Titanium Backup to remove all the bloatware, and I use ADW instead of TouchWiz crap. (I took TW off with Titanium Backup too). SetCPU to set max to 1ghz, and minimum to 400mhz. (NO PROFILES!!!) It runs just fine for me. Rather damn speedy actually!! I dont do the whole benchmark test business, doesn't really mean much IMO.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yes benchmarks dont mean too much. But they are a good indication of overall performance in their specific areas that they test. As they fascinate test well in every area except i/o. But we already kne that. Im not sure what about DJ05 Made it feel so solid to me just overall improvement and actual working GPS
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
Where did you get the dj05 update?
[Fascinate General] grenade01:
Ive only tried voodoo/lagfix

It made a significant difference on my phone. I reverted and restored all the factory stuff in anticipation of JD05 because I want to get it OTA when it drops.

I tried to get the leaked one in IRC but people just kept calling me n00b so I gave up.

I am hopeful that it will solve all my woes and usher in a new era of speed only previously dreamt about
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
its been discussed dozens of times where and how to get dj05
[Fascinate General] leehblanc:
@Joe: same setup here (DJ05 deo, Stock Kernel and Rom, Frozen bloat in Titanium) without SetCPU. It's FAST. My GF and both my sons have EVOs running 2.2 and my Fascinate is just as fast (or faster)

@ksizzle: I agree, it's hard to quantify exactly what is so good about it. I think it's not what's there, but what's NOT there (lag) I think there are going to be plenty of happy n00bs when the OTA hits. This phone will be a screamer right out of the box!
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Actually, the real performance difference between 2.2. and 2.1 is very revolutionary, though I certainly agree with you about the irrelevance of Quadrant scores. The Java virtual machine, for example, executes code 450% -- that's not a typo -- faster, which directly impacts most apps.

And, 2.2's browser is also significantly faster than 2.1's -- and iOS4's, for that matter.

I like my Fascinate, and yes, I would consider it fast (especially running DJ05 with Geeknik's kernels) but like many others, I too see slowdowns sometimes that just shouldn't happen with the phone's hardware. Froyo isn't a magic pill, per se, but it should significantly reduce or eliminate those slowdowns (as it did on my old Droid 1, despite it's far-slower processor).

[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Everything I've read states that the performance improvements between 2.1 and 2.2 have little effect on Hummingbird processors (which is what is in all Galaxy S phones), and the biggest performance gains are seen on Snapdragon processors. As far as performance goes, I'll believe it when I see it.
[Fascinate General] scriz:
This is because JIT was designed specifically around a Snapdragon processor.

Pull the battery

Plug the USB cable into your phone and PC

Wait for the charging icon to flash 2 times but when it goes black the second time let go of the power button

When you get the DOWNLOAD MODE you can let go of the volume keys

Open Odin

Plug usb to computer but not to phone

Take out phone battery

Hold up and down volume keys only (don't hold power)

You should be in download mode

Odin should detect it

On my vibrant, which I smashed :(, the launcher+ and launched pro 3rd app draw was super smooth. With the mt4g it is very choppy. Is that a gpu issue and is there any remedy?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
This is one thing I miss from the Vibrant as well. I'm not really sure if it's a GPU thing or a touch screen accuracy/tracking thing. My Nexus (HTC made as you know) is similar to the MT4G with choppier scrolling than the Vibrant... so it might be something similar with all HTC phones. The Vibrant was definitely the smoothest android phone I've seen though... (graphically at least)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ducter:
I dont have any lag in my app draw. I did with the stock draw though, thats the reason I use launcher pro. That lag can ruin your overall impressions of the phone for sure...maybe its a ROM issue? I am running the unthemed iced ROM.

At any rate hopefully it will get better for you all after a few more optimized ROMs hit.
