Cant see why the gingerbread update for evo came out and no devs are tackling a rooted version? Haus had one
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure what you mean, there are plenty of roms that at minimum use the new update's kernel in their build. There are also several roms that are based on the OTA that are rooted and have customizations.
I think he means rooting the new update for people who accepted the OTA
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes the new ota update. Only haus has the stock update out but its not zip aligned I figured devs would be all over this.

There are a couple out there that are rooted versions of the stock OTA update. As far as zipaligned ones, here's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110810
But basically this latest OTA is kinda boring. Aside from the updated kernel it doesn't really have anything new and exciting that we haven't already seen from the leaked release a couple of months ago.
So what's ended up happening is that most devs are using the OTA's kernel and incorporate that into their own 2.3.3 Sense roms.
Seriously its not like a big deal the new 2.3 update especially since most of us hae been running 2.3 for a while now either through AOSP or leaked updated. Plus with Tablets the EVO 3D coming out maybe developers are looking in another direction. Hey here is a thought why dont you create the next big thing... If not be happy with what we got a host of choices
MIUI
AOSP
HTC Sense
Ports - from damn near every high end Android device out there...
Developers do what you do - No complaints from me... Thanks for making my EVO a good investment

Anyone know if & when Netflex app will be availible for SM Epic 4G??????

Netflix would be the only people who know for sure, however if you're feeling anxious you can check out this thread and download the "Device Check Disabled" apk file.
It is available if u flash the gingerbread leak we have. It works just fine.

Where can I get the Gingerbeard leak?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Netflix is probably waiting for the official Gingerbread release to make it available for the Epic. There are several ROMs with EE03 leaked beta Gingerbread in the Samsung Epic Development thread. They will all be on the first page.
There is one on the market but it sucks

Netflix doesn't like the DRM (or lack thereof) in any iteration of the OS pre-2.3. That's it really. Gingerbread or newer and your golden.

Partly true. Is not that Netflix doesnt like DRM on 2.2. HTC Evo is on 2.2 and getting Netflix. I beleive that HTC must have pushed out a specific DRM requirement in their last ROM update. Samsung didnt do that until they pushed out their Gingerbread version.
HTC is known to support their phones better than Samsung.

Its not that either, read my explaination thread. It isn't because of an HTC update. Its because 2.2 was built off the snapdragon.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
it will when it becomes gingerbread, all 2.3 roms can already run it...
Thanks for all the input last week guys. My new phone will be arriving tomorrow night! I plan on rooting immediately, what method is the best? Automated? Have there been any Samsung updates that break this method?
As far as modems goes, which one should I flash for the least amount of LoS issues? I've been hearing about two lately.
I plan on flashing cm7, dual booting if that is ready yet (I need gps sometimes). I understand there is a lot if drama recently but I just love cm and hope that he's got dual booting finished.
Lastly, what are these Odin counts that I have read about? Do they keep track of flashes for screwing you out of your warranty should something go wrong? Is there a way to reverse this?
What other roms would you recommend? I understand ics is a ways out.... That will be disappointing because I am rocking a very solid build on my Evo Shift....
I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
Thanks again

Use sfhub's autoroot for quick and easy rooting. The EK02 OTA update and the EL13 leak have both helped people a lot with LOS issue. Many/most of the custom ROMs are now based off of EL13. All of the custom ROMs are pretty much fine tuned now with most of the good mods. The only thing you may need to add is 4g Hotspots hack

^ sfhub's method.
I wouldn't worry about cm too much. Rumor has it that darchstar is working on cm9 official for us. I owe him a lot got his hero work which got us cm on the Eris.

Oh wow that is good to hear! I used his hero rom back in the day... Also believe he was the first to get Gingerbread running. Had that running for a couple weeks until I "upgraded" to my Shift and was stuck with freakin sense and no permanent root for a few months...
Now that I have ics on my Shift I'll be temporarily stuck on gingerbread... This is truly great news! Darchstar is the man!

Try it stock for a few days just so you can get a feel for it.
This way if you Root it and something doesnt work you will at least know it worked on Stock.
GPS, WiFi, Los are examples.
I am on a stock ROM and my device is working great. No issues.
I got mine a few days before Christmas, and I am loving it. I am coming from the original HTC Evo 4G that I had since it came out. I ran CM on that for nearly the entire time I had that, so I was a little sad to see the E4GT did not have CM support. That being said, I am actually glad it did not have CM support because I have had to learn more about other ROMs, kernels, etc than I had to with CM.
I rooted right out of the box using the auto root method (stickied in the development thread).
I flashed the EL13 modem next and have had no issues.
I am now running Strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM with the Rogue Desperado kernel v1.3.0.
I would post links, but I am not allowed to yet since my post count is so low.
To me, the phone is a lot snappier than my Evo 4G, and I have been generally pleased with it so far.
Awesome thanks for the info. I plan to run stock for a few days... It should be arriving over the next couple of hours. None of the Samsung updates break root right? I want to update it asap but don't want to lose access to root

looks like your new so im not gonna flame you, but just do some reading bro, ICS is the most talked about thing in this forum. A little reading will go a long way.
To answer your question, there is no confirmed date but we have had great running leaked builds for months now.
Well I'm new to Samsung devices sorry was an og evo fan myself
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
there have been approx 30 leaked revisions of ICS for our device. We should be seeing it officially any time now.
I would root my phone but honestly like I said I'm new to the gs2 if I had to replace this one already cuz I didn't relize that I flashed international version

Edit:Our device is the epic 4g touch on this forum
If you were able to root you HTC the epic is much easier to root there are one click tools to root the epic in the dev forum sfubs has easy to follow instructions and there are gb based roms and if you want a taste of ICS roms as stated I would root just to get rid of bloatware

Just use KIES to update to 4.0.4 and root it, remove bloatwares and youre good to good with a fully working phone. She will appreciate it because every custom roms has bugs and always update and i bet she wont like that. My girl hates it too.. This is kinda like the other thread. What rom is wife approve?? Even though they suggest darkside, people always seem to have problems that others dont..

Kies remove root and this guy nows how to root and I ask him bro he's fine... most custom ROMs have less bugs vs aosp(aokp,miui,cm,)...have more bugs. I suggest cm 9.1.0
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Kies to 4.0.4 if you want a stable stock ROM. You can always root after that. 4.0.3 stock wasn't that greatest btw. most of the 4.0.4 custom ROMs are stable. Only the jb 4.1+ roms have a couple bugs here and there.
Btw ^ AOSP is a custom ROM too. I'm sure you know that, but it was a bit confusing and you're not making the most sense right now lol

Nothing exciting. Biggest thing being improved Bluetooth. According to that list, they are leaving out everything from the International 4.1.2 update. And the 4.2 roms we have are AOSP, this update is stock TW.

Yeah it didn't look at that exciting to me. I'm sure Tmobile will lag on this let alone 4.2. I'm running stock now since I got my replacement. But, I think at least for me I'll skip the sgsiv and see what the end of the year holds. I've been through too many phones this last year to warrant me getting the sgsiv. Htc amaze>Sgs2>gbex>sgs3.

Was gonna work on a port of the OTA but ran into problems with the bootloader.
It doesn't seem to be much of a upgrade after talking to some Verizon users.
