No tab on mine. Now I'm able to copy files through the wifi file explorer app but copying while connected by cable doesn't work. It does, but the files aren't there afterwards. I also get the sd card is mounted read only error every once in a while. I'm not sure what to do, I hate to drop 50 bucks on another sd card if I don't need to.

[Epic 4G General] NecroNetics:
I'm still in the market for a new phone, and had my heart set on the Epic from the start. However, when I started delving deeper into the different phones, I started feeling apprehensive toward the Epic.

Why I want it:

Video/picture quality seems better than the other phones I was looking at

5row QWERTY

Non-smudgy back plate

Good stock SD card

Super AMOLED

Why I'm apprehensive toward it:

It's running 2.1 and people think Samsung is abandoning the phone

Ideally, I wanted a 4 or 4.3in display

To get 2.2 and faster speeds, I'd have to use a ROM -- I have no idea how to do it, and I also don't like the themes most of the community ROMs have.

The other phones I was interested in were the EVO 4g, the Nexus S, the Droid X, and maybe another Galaxy S phone.

So, my question to the Epic 4g community: How do you like the phone? Have you tried any of the other phones I've listed? Am I going to get shafted by Samsung and never get a 2.2 update, or is it just as easy to flash the leaked 2.2?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I lovemy epic. Greatest phone I've had. It does everything I want. I got the epic to future proof myself.

Itsvery easy to flash the leaked froyo. You don't even gotta be rooted! Also, theleaked froyo is bascally a release candidate, being almost complete but still lacking little things like bluetooth audio out.

If those are the phones on our short list, get the epic. When samsung finally releases official final froyo,those phones will have nothing on the epic.

If you can't wait for froyo, then a5least get a new dualcore phone so you can be sure you won't be left behind
[Epic 4G General] lrn2swim:
Agreed. The epic is absolutely fantastic. Even on 2.1 it's vastly better than the evo, which my girlfriend has. The nexus s however looks great and if that was on sprint it'd be a toss up for me. Don't listen to all the nay saying going on right now. Samsung easily had the best camera, screens and processor combo available for the current gen. Once you go oled it'd be hard to go back. I just recently flashed the new trulyepic 1.2 rom and imo, that's the way to go right now if want froyo. Runs fantastic.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Well the first question I'd have for you is what carrier are you looking at? Because you just listed a bunch of phones in the OP that are on different carriers. As far as the Epic is concerned, I love it ... it has a LOT of issues, including Samsung's Froyo delay that you mentioned, but it's still one of the fastest phones out there (with a kick ass GPU mind you). Again, it depends on what you need. If you don't need QWERTY, then you might want to look at the Evo as that is one of the best supported phones on the market (in terms of the dev community).
[Epic 4G General] nvertigo:
yes

the keyboard is convenient but i dont like it. my roommate has a g2 and it feels alot better..

yes

yes

yes!!

4 inch is fine. 2.2 might be out soon but the roms out leave very little to be desired anyway... then again u cant really go wrong with any of the phones on your list haha.
[Epic 4G General] NecroNetics:
Thanks for the replies, guys.

The carrier isn't important to me. It relies solely on the phone -- although, I think Sprint has one of the cheapest plans.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
If trade my epic for a nexus s any day... The screen on both if my epics became loose after weeks and I harshly use the keyboard anyway

Sent from my Nexus S with a keyboard
[Epic 4G General] Alkah0liK:
I guess it really depends on what you are coming from. I was a die hard blackberry user.... *throws up a bit* came directly to and specifically waited for the epic after seeing several inferior android phones but knew it was where I wanted to settle once I was able to dig deeper helping a few friends mod.

Point being if it will be the first phone of this caliber, I think you will love the epic and there is no reason not to in most cases as the phone is blazing, couple it with some of the mods from the devs here.... it will be sweet. That being said, the same would likely apply to most of the other phones in your list.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Only if you want a keyboard. I think that's all the Epic has over the Evo at this point. Yes it's faster, yes the screen is better, but.. Samsung support is terrible, while 2.1 runs fine and there are 2.2 leaks its still a sorry state to be in for a "flagship" phone.

IF you're interested in Roms.. go with an HTC. While the Evo is running a 98% functional CM7 and MIUI, and (Insert popular rom name here), the Epic's (while the developers are all awesome! This is NOT a knock) are more or less just customizations and ported applications with a breakthrough here and there such as EXT4.

Samsung is absolutely ridiculous "#neveragain". The keyboard skips letters, the GPS is moody and only works when it wants to, updates are pretty much MIA. Yes the epic is a little bit faster, with a more colorful screen, but at what cost.

Thanks to the Skippy keyboard I've become a professional on the onscreen keyboards and am highly considering a Evo off of Ebay while I can still sell the Epic for more. :) Maybe that gives you an idea of what it's like to own a Samsung.

</endrant> All rants aside... it's not a bad phone by any stretch of the imagination. Samsung is just better at products that don't need much support after release... like TV's...
[Epic 4G General] Jon2fine:
The epic (galaxy s phone) has the best diplay and fastest GPU on the market as of posting this.

This is really lame, and just to clarify Samsung and all the Carriers do troll both this site and Androidforums.com.

I know for a fact that the carriers have members that work for executive services who keep an eye on these sites and know very well what is going on.

So micbeasts assumptions that Samsung and T-Mobile are watching, are probably 100 percent accurate.

If it does then I'll just put the instructions I did in here
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
Works

Works flawlessly man this is smokin fast ... Faster than my n1 with froyo so i'm happy... and the only problem is the

text is not white

. how to get the text white? is this rom not deodexed so u can change text color?

Edit:

I just went into the theme that i wanted to put into my froyo rom, navigate to framework > res > drawable-hdpi > dump that whole directory into your roms framework > res > drawable-hdpi

Then, save the new archive, put it back on your SD card n flash. Enjoy!

For now, if we cant get the white text working, you can have the rest of your theme now(in case your like me and cant stand how vanilla aosp looks)... Enjoy!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] hbc.ciccone:
are you on JT's aosp?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
yeah. i'm trying to figure out how to get the text white now

Edit: don't know if rom is deodexed, but if not i'm going to have to deodex it before i can get the text white. someone who knows if it is or not plz let me know so i know what to do next.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
Not all the image.names.are.going to.be the.same between aosp and touchwiz....in fact 1/4 or more are.different and you have to recombine frameworks

Edit: don't know if rom is deodexed, but if not i'm going to have to deodex it before i can get the text white. someone who knows if it is or not plz let me know so i know what to do next.[/QUOTE]

Jt always deodexes his roms...,changing text color is an xml edit and requires decompiling the.framework making the proper.edits and recompiling
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] skillz360:
nitsuj17 LOL tell him :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
Can I do it? Do I need to get smali do'it the xml edits. can't take the vanilla look anymore. And I'm NOT going back to eclair since the three things I don't use are broken only
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
I did what the instructions say and the only problem is the black text and I want to change font. How should we go about this next (since someone is probably going to try it when I get it right ando post my example screen.

Transparent as this thread oid supposed to be why can't you help nitsu u know noone going to help me but if someone else started this they would.

So what next is recompiling after the color edits correct? How to do this?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] frostman89:
You'd have more success just grabbing a 2.2 framework from the nexus or whatever phone with aosp froyo then using that framework.

My memory is failing me but the color of text is controlled by either services.jar or framework.jar.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
you have to decompile the framework...edit the xml files....recompile correctly either with apktool or apkmanager

you have to backsmali the service.jar...make your smali edits....then smali to compile it all in a terminal
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] akaine2001:
Then you have white text.

look up winamp, or doubletwist (with airsync). Both of these apps sync with PC music apps (both of which are highly reputable).

[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
First off - I must acknowledge that that code this came from, is not mine. All credit goes to Geniusdog254, fat-tire, mbm (irc advice), and those who have committed to their branches; i would like to eventually make my own branch, but for now, this is a great start. Hopefully this is ok with them - if not, i will happily take it down.

UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So, for all those lucky 2.1 users, you have have a nice overclocked kernel. Well, today lucky 2.2 users get the same enjoyment! Just as a teaser - Quadrant gives a score of 1618

0.2:

950Mhz: http://www.mediafire.com/?mbfnt3i39cz8q9o

900Mhz: http://www.mediafire.com/?opmajiyx1puf11t or http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AQKPIPHR

Changes:

***ROTATION IS FIXED***

Original Kernel base proved unstable for the Froyo build. So, went back to basics, and modified the original Nookie Froyo Kernel, as found here: https://github.com/fat-tire/nook_kernel

Future code will be branched from this for the time being.

Built two different kernel speeds, for those whose systems dont like 950.

0.1:

http://www.mediafire.com/?aoadpgt2foxhby9

Compiled from https://github.com/fat-tire/Quickie, as of 1/18/11.

Kernel defaults to 950Mhz

Kernel made compatible to 2.2 standards, with other minor fixes (as noted in Github

To Install:

[Pre Install]

Wipe Dalvik Cache

As suggested here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10749287&postcount=12, it is best to wipe the dalvik cache (if this is not the first boot of the system,). To do so (after connecting your nook to a PC):

adb shell
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
reboot

This can also be done in root explorer.

[Install]

Right now, nothing more than replacing the old uImage with the new. You will find the old uImage on the SD card under /boot. Before you do ANYTHING, make a backup of your old uImage, just in case you want to go back.

[Tested on]

I have tested this Kernel on both a fresh copy of .5.8, as well as the custom .5.9 as posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922324

[Recomendations]

Get SetCPU (from this friendly forum!), and change the governor to on-demand. It is currently defaulted to conservative for battery, but OD should give better performance.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Future & Reserved:

Ideally, i would like to build on this kernel, and add features other kernels have, such as different governors, BFS, and HAVS. I don't know much I can actually do, but as time goes I am sure i will learn more. Please be patient with me, and remember this is a WIP. While i am not new to coding, I am new this kind of kernel work, so I am still picking up things here and there..

Issues -

Quadrant is stupidly picky. I am not sure what i did to get it to run when I did, but the best i can say s to keep trying. Right now, it seems to really hang at 2/4 on the I/O.

I believe the default governor is set to conservative; i recommend downloading SetCPU and setting it to ondemand.
[Nook Color Android Development] camwinnn:
Woot :P Saw the IRC work and couldnt wait.

And i was going to say the wait at 2/4 on I/O was like that before :P

1607 Quadrant score (:
[Nook Color Android Development] kassemja:
Tried kernel, got one boot noticeable speed up. second boot failed, now back to standard. can't wait to this matures. great work... perhaps it may help if you clear out davlik cache via root explorer before reboot. i didn't and could not as i'm running from emmc, hence can not use clockwork recovery to clear cache.
[Nook Color Android Development] runhopskipjump:
Just boot a copy of nookie froyo from a mircosd and mount the /data partition from the emmc to delete the davlik cache. That's how I was making changes to nookie froyo when I was running it off the emmc. Once hardware decoding for media is supported I will put NF back on the emmc. Can't wait till clockwork supports froyo. I will be all over this!

Not working on my Froyo'ed Nook

Hi! It sounds really promising.

I've tested but it failed :( I've taken the SD card off from the Nook, then mounted it my Linux box (in /media, the default for Ubuntu 10.10), made a copy of /media/boot/uImage, copied the uImage file I've downloaded into /media/boot, re-inserted the SD card in the Nook and relaunched it...

... I get the 1st "Loading..." message (the one well centered), the screen goes off then back on ant stays like that: blank dark screen with the backlight on.

When I restore my previous uImage backup, my Froyo'ed Nook comes back to live.

Any idea? TIA :)
[Nook Color Android Development] deitiphobia:
Same thing happening here.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Just curious, have either of you tested the 950Mhz kernel in the stock eclair build? The problem sounds suspicously like the system not handling the overclock.

However, I am working on some stuff (specifically, fixing the rotation issue), and hope to have some updates soon.
[Nook Color Android Development] kassemja:
I have used the 950 kernel on 2.1 for about a week no issues. I'm happy to test again with a davlik cache wipe. On the way to work now. So hopefully you can post new build by then.
[Nook Color Android Development] deitiphobia:
Yes. 950 Mhz ran fine for me. The 1Ghz though did not.

I didn't do a Dalvik cache wipe first. When i get a chance I'll try that and give it another go.
[Nook Color Android Development] jasoraso:
I have the same thing happening - flashing loading; then the screen going blank, but staying on ... after about 2-3 retries, I can get it to boot. As long I keep it booted, I don't have any more problems.

Been running the 950 kernel w/ 2.1 no problems ...
[Nook Color Android Development] watzone69:
Same thing here as well. I got it to boot after 5 tries. It helps if you hold the power button a little past the "Loading...".

After that I wiped dalvik-cache and it reboots fine now.

adb shell
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
reboot
[Nook Color Android Development] jasoraso:
Gave this a shot, hopefully this helps!

EDIT: first two reboots > boots fine!
[Nook Color Android Development] deitiphobia:
I can get it to boot every 4th or 5th time, but only into instability. It will crash shortly thereafter for one reason or another. Currently it's bootlooping, but NOT off the SD card and Nookie Froyo, it's bootlooping off of the internal memory and 2.1.

I think I'm going to give up on this for now till a more stable solution is reached.

My 2.1 is still running fine at 950Mhz though despite not being able to get this to work for Nookie Froyo.
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
FOr anyone interested - There are two new Kernels posted, based off different (more stable) code, with one built at 900Mhz, and the other at 950. Please test and use, i think you will find them more stable than the previous..
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Excellent, trying the 950 now. I couldn't get the 900 to download. I just keeps looping.

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Download from the server? Or working on the nook?
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
Cannot download it from the server. The 950 was fine, but I could not get the 900 zip from the server.

My NC/NF is rocking 950! Cleared the Dalvik cache via Root Explorer, powered off via QuickBoot, swapped the uImage (after backing up the NF 0.5.9 one and verifying that my backup worked) and powered on. Booted on the first go and it already seems snappier. In the About Phone the kernel now shows as

2.6.29-omap1

daniel@ubuntu #2

UPDATE: WOW just wow! Dolphin HD is actually usable now, it was really dragging before. When this gets stable from the internal memory it will be amazing.

Excellent!

Homer
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Homer - not sure why its doing that, but i put up an alternate mirror just in case.. but it sounds like you don't need it.

For everyone who is trying it - please drop some feedback. I really want to learn and support this kernel, but can only do so with feedback. Thanks!
[Nook Color Android Development] Homer_S_xda:
The alternate server worked fine. I dl'd the 900 version just in case. Will you be trying a 1GHz version?

Also, any chance you can figure out how to implement IPtables? I'm dying to get proxy for wifi working at least near to how it works on my iPod touch. I can't get over the fact that Google really doesn't seem to want to get into businesses with Android.

Silly question:

I made my nookie Froyo sd card using the .5.8 version. I used your build and it worked great!!! however, I would like to know if there is an easy way to change it to 0.5.9 version without having to wipe the sd card and lose all my data on it. Is there a way as simple as copying files over like it was for your screamer version?
