[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
As far as the build number goes, it's just a typo. Not a big deal. I can release a flashable fix for it but really it's nothing to worry about.

As far as the launcher Pro goes you have to go into the settings and select the 3d (i think) drawer animation. If you listen to what I was saying in the video I stated that I was currently using ADW Launcher. Just go into the Launcher Pro setting and change the drawer animation.

I may need to put the default browser back in the next build. This is like the bug associated with YouTube. MyFiles needs to be there in order to upload from ANY file manager. I don't use voice search so I didn't notice this. Please keep me in the loop on this. You can add the default browser back if you would like. I'll try to upload a flashable zip for the default browser if I get a chance.

I agree we need to keep this civil. I allow a great deal of latitude on this thread before I step in and say anything. Please treat each other with respect. Meetloaf this wasn't directed at you. I just quoted your post cause I liked it.

First off, Randy_T said there is "NO NEED". That's not the same as "DO NOT".

Randy_T and mammon88 have worked very hard to streamline the conversion to EXT4 and have done a great job. There really is no reason to flash back to stock but it won't hurt anything. It just creates extra steps. The problem with odin for me is that I try to cater to "new" or less experienced users. If I suggest that you odin your phone back to DK28 prior to flashing one of my ROMS it REALLY complicates EVERYTHING. You would not believe the amount of messages that I get with panicked questions about having to use odin. It just makes things harder for me to keep up with. During the transition to EXT4 odin was required at times as many of you have seen first hand. However, since the new AIO install has become available it takes many of those steps out of the users hands and completely automates the process. So odin is far less likely to be needed. However, I don't see what it would hurt. It's just extra and most likely needless steps.

The NEW install process includes a complete wipe and format of the phone anyway. The only problem I see is if you have issues prior to flashing the new midNIGHT ROM or bonsai ROM. The updater script backs everything up prior to wiping and flashing and restores when it is complete. So at times I have seen the need to completely wipe everything x3 prior to flashing in order to clear those issues out. I personally will odin back to DK28 stock prior to releasing a in order to ensure the install process goes well from the Stock Rooted DK28. I only do this to ensure the "New" users have a smooth transition to EXT4 and the midNIGHT ROM.....

Just to review:

odin is NOT necessary as often anymore.

odining back to stock will NOT hurt anything. It just adds needless steps to a now streamlined process.

Feel free to odin if it makes you feel better. Especially if you have experience problems that you can't seem to resolve by other means. It shouldn't hurt anything (there is always a risk when odining but everyone should know that by now).

I think this should put an end to this issues prior to this getting out of hand.

Thank you all for support. I really appreciate all the feedback and do my best to stay on top of this. Thank you for helping each other.
