So let me get this straight, there is now a developer that has EC05, but you have to register to get it. I tried and get Access denied when trying to download. On a side note EC05 has been released and there aren't 10 mirrors up of it yet? I don't know what is going on with the politics over there, I don't really care or follow it that closely. But what I do know is when I hear that an operating system is leaked I come here to get it. All of a sudden that's not going to happen any more without hoops to jump through, registration and a nag screen for a donation? I wonder if the guys in the Evo forums put up with this am-mature hour BS?

Unfortunately, I've seen this happen everywhere. It is not a Samsung and/or Epic specific issue... Find it hard to believe that with all the different ROM.s for Evo that there isn't the occasional crap about who took what from whom without credit (not that this is this problem). Here, we have someone who got a leak from an inside source and to protect the source, he's done things somewhat differently. Do I agree, well not really sure...I don't want to register to get something (and he is NOT charging) but then again, I had to register to post and get stuff here... So, not that big of a deal. I'm totally happy with ViperRoms BUT I understand what Mammon88 has done and why...but I can see XDA's point too. Just the latest round of politics! If not this, then it would be something else.
Either the stock or bonsai needed off it will work at this point. I'm just shocked that politics are causing a delay in EC05 stock to be put up on these forums. After all it's already OTA at this point. At this point I'll probably wait until tomorrow for an update.zip. I just figured by history it would have already been made available.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Mammon88 can't release the EC05 he has because the digital fingerprints are on the file which would lead back to the person who leaked it in the first place. So the only way to get stock EC05 is to wait for Sprint's release. Glad I'm running Bonsai 4.0.0 right now as I don't want to wait.
just to be honest here, if Mammon can remove the 'fingerprint' from the leaked copy, and put it on Bonsai 4.0, then why can't he release the stock version, fingerprint removed? Didn't he already attempt to do this, but the thread was shut down due to linking to the Bonsai site, which requires registration (not that a mirror is still in the locked thread anyways)? Im pretty sure the registration process does not remove said fingerprint itself.
I have to point out that I think he/they have the right to do WHATEVER they want with the leaked version, as it's not open source, it's a leak... BUT, the whole website membership business is disappointing, yes, it seems just an inconvenience, but if there is/will be paid premium support... it really doesn't belong on here, then does it? Honestly I am just sick of the drama, and apologetics for this whole thing, and I cant imagine what would have happened had it been Noobnl who had the leak, and then proceeded to make such a process... half the members would be asking for his head, no? I don't feel entitled to a thing, but pressure for donations, not to mention having to register for yet another website is not in the spirit of this site.
Why not just post a no-strings attached link here, or even on the Bonsai site...?
I guess demand drives things, as the wait for EB13 prompted half the site to revert to DI18 just to get the OTA and get the update.zip... now it would seem there are far fewer people doing this. /rant

I was just out at the Sprint store the other day talking about just this same thing. Decided to wait a week or so and see what else falls out of the tree. Sprint has lots of new android stuff coming out in the next few weeks.
Mammon and Randy font owe anything to you guys on here. If you can't take 2 mins to register to get a FREE download that they spent HOURS doing then you shouldn't have it. Be a little more appreciative of what people do.

Politics aren't causing anything. Maybe you didn't mean to come across the way you did but it comes across as "entitled". Bonsai is NOT based on the OTA. They don't have it. There is NOTHING to leak as you put it. If it was then we could flash the modem and not be required to odin. To the best of my knowledge the OTA hasn't hit yet. When it does you will see the posts start popping up. Until either be patient or use one of the EC05 ROMs already available.

Guys please go about your morning. Drink your coffee smoke your butts and relax. The OTA is coming sooner then later. Trust me when I tell you, your phone will function about the same. All this hxoopla over a OTA is comical at best.
Absolutley ridicilous. You all need to chill out relax. And respect the devs who bring you these roms for free. You act like its owed to you or something. Do u not realize these devs do this on there dime in there own time. Relaaaaaaaaaax. Be patient. This has become so ridicilous no one has respect or appreciates wha they do. And those who complain should be baned in my oppinion.

I like Antione. A city that builds some of the most technologically advanced equipment and machines in the world and what is Huntsville known for? A very uneducated rant to a news station.
Every ROM I've EVER used has come outta Myn's repository. I've been stuck on his stuff like super glue. The last ROM he's released was 3 months ago for a first release Z port. I mean even flipzmode takes forever but he's had at least two more updates. I even figured he was waiting for an official GB OTA and base a new ROM off that but no green light still. Where the hell did the Guy go?! I suspected he moved to a different device but devs always USUALLY announce stuff like that. He still may have moved . Oh, and.don't flame me all you assholes just waiting to jump my ass. I've been on XDA forever just don't post. I know you guys live for crap like this but give it a rest. Its a question.

He is still around, he has been working on a rom called Synergy with many of the other developers. I just got an e-mail from him last night with the latest nightly. I wondered the same thing about a month ago, so I donated to him and asked to become a beta tester. It took a week before I heard anything back, but he e-mailed me, thanked me, and told me he was working on Synergy with xXxViRuSxXx and a few other developers. I joined Virus's Beta click a long time ago and now recieve e-mails from him and MYN. They are both still around and the rom looks like it's coming along real well. Shouldn't be much longer and you will probably see a release of it on here. If you don't want to wait, you could always donate to him or Virus and get access to it that way.
i've been using the nightlies since 05/31. It's a pretty sweet rom.
Too bad it's a closed beta (I didn't have to donate, but testes/devs/themers have privileges ) otherwise i'd link you.

The latest Kingdom is way better man!! At least in my OP.....it's 100% stable and seems as if everything is working.
You could, I don't know...go to one of the threads for his ROMs and see if there's any action, any posts from Myn.
There's always USUALLY a lot of action on one of those threads from both fans and Myn himself when a new ROM is nearly out or out.
Well, at least it's nice I guess that you realize that you're coming off like a douchebag.
Read the various subforums; if you had you would have realized that Myn is involved in the Synergy rom. I don't even use any of his roms and I've known about it for a while now.
He hasn't gone anywhere:

Undetermined; just shows all the changes made to the rom. It'll be released when its done...just have to check it periodically. You'll know when, because it'll be all over xda.
Not asking for a release date just info about the Rom, and more than anything whether or not there will be an open beta. The camera and WiFi are non issue with me and hell we had broken WiMax and hw004 camera issues for almost 8 months with 7, but there were still nightlies.
Wth am I looking at on that post lol. I was dur when I saw all that. Is that a change log of the future lol.

Ics is cm9 for evo 4g pretty much if you think about it.
cowboy up
CM9 will come when it comes. There are plenty of 4.0.1/4.0.3 builds in the dev area to hold you over and many of these development are working from/with/are part of the CM9 code. If you were in Fight Club would you talk about Fight Club? DON'T ASK, DON'T WONDER...if anything it makes devs irritated that people are violating the imposed rules.
Digitally transcribed from my Boosted OG EVO 4G Primed w/ Anthrax!
Follow me on Twitter @Bill_Dollar
I think we all want to know when CM9 will come out... but if you do at least a little searching you will know that they are not updating with progress. CM devs don't really like to be bugged about progress. Like someone else said, first rule is not to ask lol.
Yeah, but the rule is "Don't ask for an ETA.". OP said very clearly in his post that he's not looking for a date. I believe he was hoping to read about some of the progress, at least thats how I read it. Also comparing Cyanogenmod with Fight Club is not really a fair comparison as Cyanogenmod doesn't hide and ask that no one tell anyone about the CM builds. Besides all that, this post was answered with a link to the progress page in the third post.

All I get there is "Yahoo API is down, please try about five minutes later."
I'm also curious about the current state of CM9 for the EVO, mostly so that I can know if it's worth the effort to attempt to build myself or not. I'm surprised I haven't seen any CM9 kangs floating around.
People need to chill the **** out on the "don't ask for ETAs" thing. People get curious, relax. Zero news makes it seem like a project or a device is abandoned. A weekly or monthly "still working on it" update is totally acceptable, but when the last we heard about anything was months and months ago, we get antsy. I know nobody owes me anything. But if you want me to give a ****, don't be a big crybaby when we wonder what you're doing. It only means that we like what you do, don't bite the hand that (kind of) feeds you.
This message is not directed at anyone in particular; mostly the zealot followers who like to regurgitate "the rules."

If you're bored then you aren't taking full advantage of all the incredible ICS ROMs available.
Take a walk on the wild side and flash a new one each week until someone ports Jelly Bean, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm sure if it can be done one of our Devs will do it but most of them are focused on getting source for ICS right now so they can improve on their existing ROMs and build new ones.

I found myself to be "bored" as well, but then I realized that the reason was because of the stability I was getting on Blazer 4.0 (four months of use!).
Still looking for my fix, I started testing out all the new offerings on here. I ruined one GS2, "unbricked" it, bought a white one, then stopped in the GS3 forum to see that PH was making a Blazer rom for that too.
So I picked up a GS3 to keep me busy in my down time.

Bored seems to be a strong word. I don't think it's that the devs stopped working because there's still plenty going on. They are working hard with what they have but that's just the thing - they don't have a lot to work with. No source, nothing.
Things might be a bit more "exciting" for you if we had real access to Cyanogen or just AOSP in general but we don't. No offense to the devs involved in AOSP roms and the AOKP rom, but they are highly hacked in order to make them work decently on this phone.
For one we're dealing with the Exynos processor - not the S4. Also, Samsung sucked on their source release, from what I understand it was incomplete and will probably be the same with ICS. There's also the emergency call issue the CM team found which is why our phones not supported. Again, that's because of the incomplete source Samsung gave us citing 'proprietary code' being the reason it was incomplete.
So if you'd like to tell someone how bored your experience is with this phone - tell Samsung. Otherwise it's falling on deaf ears around here.
I stopped coming back because way too many people complain about everything...oh well

I'm only bored because I have found a stable daily driver.
Yes, it's exciting to have the latest, but ****s got to work.
Major props to chris41G and crew. I throw money at these guys as much as I can because without them, you would truly know what it is to be bored with your phone... Amazing stuff these guys are doing without source! :highfive:
i am still on aokp 37, even tho 40 is out i'm holding out for source. it's just sort of a pain to backup and reflash and set everything when i feel like it's so close to being "next level". 37 does have a few hiccups but it's been my daily driver since the day it was released.
with the gsiii out and jellybean as the new hotness, i really hope sammy doesn't hold out on us too much longer.
all that said, i don't think it's fair to criticize the scene here at xda (not that "being bored" is major criticism at that) as it's really samsung holding everything up.

I don't have my "sensative hat" on, I was just stating that if he's not happy go elsewhere. I don't put my stuff on the level as other devs here anyway. I dont consider myself a dev. The things they do are amazing. I would've never released anything without them and their work. So at least so some consideration to them and word it more to Samsung if that's what he's complaining about.

not trying to be rude but if you are on stock ics and you are having bad battery life you should probably look at your battery. Don't expect to get over a day with these phones, but stock Ics is pretty good on battery life.
I'm sorry but there is no way in hell that sprint does not know what is going on. They do know what is going on period. One good look at their forums over at sprint says so.
That email you go back looks like a standard form letter ( email ) that they just push out to get you off their backs.
Those emails are automated.
They scan for key-word phrases, and automatically respond with pre-set emails.
I can guarantee no person at Sprint read it.
They don't even copy and paste anymore, just a script that responds!
Are you sure its ICS and not some rogue program you installed?
I would suggest a hard reset and leave the phone stock (IE - not install any apps) for 24-48 hours and see if you still have battery issues.
Or it could very well be your actual battery....
I do know of one issue I have seen with a few ROMs and kernels. There is a issue where if you have the notification light enabled and you get a notification then it keeps the phone from entering deep sleep. Now I will say this issue didn't seem present on stock FF18. If you're not running a stock kernel I suggest flashing Chris41Gs stock SAFE kernel. It doesn't seem to be plagued by this bug. Just something I've noticed and thought I would share.

Right there with you
You're not alone. There are a bunch of us having issues with the released ICS. I'm probably going to revert to Caulkin's EL29. That was the best I've had so far. I've talked to sprint and they don't seem to care too terribly much. Initially they claimed a network outage for my connection issues, but when I told them it's everywhere I go the rep didn't have much else to say. It seems that they released ICS without really testing, which is frustrating. This is as much Google and Samsung's faults as Sprints.

I think its mostly Samsung and sprint fault Google has no fault in this update and of course sprint reps and techs not going to care cuz there's nothing they could do plus I'm pretty sure they hoping for Samsung to hurry up with that patch so people would stop calling them and complaining about the failure of the ics update.
Its funny cuz everyone wanted ics people here in xda well for this device was impatient and was rushing Samsung for the update which now everyone is hating it for having issues lol well this is what you get, me on the other hand I could careless for the ota because source was the major big deal once I read that ota and the leaks where the same their wasn't no reason for me to take the ota update then since there's really no difference heck I Odin back to el29 got on caulks 3.0 gb rom and I'm going to stay there till the devs finish compiling or doing what ever it is that they do with source kernel, once its ready and ics roms are better and much more stable with kernel source that's when ill go back to ics I think that's the best idea to do but I know that's kinda hard for some of you flashaholics out there.

Your not being a **** at all its just basically the truth there's folks out here that act like little kids and are impatient to received there candy and mind you the devs that are working real hard shares and make these candies for free, heck I'm a flashaholic myself but I have other hobbies besides flashing that could keep me entertain that's what some of these folks here need if you check the dev forums you'll see so much useless post referring (omg I can't wait for the next update, or omg freaking awesome there's a from update thanks alot I'm downloading now) like if the devs doesn't know that your going to download it I mean yea its good to give your respect and good comments and such but I think instead of cluttering the dev forums with useless non info about issues the bad and the good about the rom just hit the thanks button for these incredible devs.
Geez sorry I just had to rant cuz idk how these mods and devs can handle it

LOL, wow, apparently opened a can of worms here. The point of my post was merely to let other xda users know that I contacted sprint and they told me there is no known issue with the ICS update on the E4GT.
Love you all

You do realize there were 3 weeks without an RDF? Sprint couldn't take that into thought to make bug fixes? There's plenty of time for us to wait.

I guarantee most people problems will be fixed if they did a clean install. Not many people were *****ing when it was just a leak. When i was running FF18, battery was as good as GB. I got 5+ hours of display time.
I had great battery life on most if not all of leaks. The difference was, I almost always did clean installs. I'd bet the battery issues are related to old GB app data not playing nice on the ICS base, which is why most that have done a factory reset after upgrading to ICS have seen their battery life improve.

couldn't agree more... additionally to vent a little since this seems like a good post to do it in I'm getting really tired constant onslaught of "bug" posts about the stock ics ota... most of them are specific to the user and not an actually bug ( ie "this isnt exactlly the same as it was in gingerbread im anggggry" ) and it doesn't seem to be appropriate for xda... take that sort of stuff to the sprintusers forums, the devs here are not going to be patching the stock ota for you. If you find an actual bug in a dev's rom please use the dev thread to report it, the dev will thank you, and believe it or not this is the actual point of the dev threads, despite what the thousands of posts saying "omg rom update thanx you!!!1!1 flashing now" would lead you to believe ( use the damn thanks button as opposed to cluttering up the dev thread, that's why its there)....ugh, this place would be a lot better if people would learn to use the damn search bar as well, as its not super fun to see the same questions in thread after thread.... also get off my lawn... /end rant

That's the number one thing that annoys me just seeing the same questions after post after post for example look at Chris 41 new thread for his new kernel in the op it states everything you need to know I mean everything and yet folks still tend to ask I feel like if your not going to read then don't flash at all cuz the dev do what they can and post all the info that is needed so folks won't have to clutter the dev forums with the same questions over and over but it seems like folks these days are to lazy to read or are just straight up dumb.

I have stock (completelly stock) EL29 Samsung epic touch 4g and I updated via a sprint update (legal) and my phone reboots constantly and battery life is not that good. I know is not the battery because prior to that I went all day with one charge.
use stock mail, text, phone and contacts the only program not stock is the go launcher.
So I think a clean install might not be the solution.
Hehehe i hope nobody read my pre coffe nerd rage.
Sorry, all!
