[Q] Sprint Upgrade - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So If I use the manual override upgrade and upgrade my phone from Sprint persay to a Within, what happens to my original Epic 4G that I had? Does Sprint take it back or am I free to do whatever I want with it?

Ur free to do what ever with it.

Lets help the devs!

So I've been reading around about the status of the Cyanogen mod port for the GSII. I'm switching to sprint this week and will love to have CM7.
Last I read was that Kush had the phone and is making the recovery work for the phone and then he was going to hand it off to other devs.
Now come the idea. Wouldn't it be easier if the devs had 2 phones so different teams or devs and work on it simultaneously so for example teamhacksung can port CM7 over while kush or someone else is doing there thing.
That's why I propose a pot to get the devs another phone so they know we aren't a community of deadbeats.
I'd be happy to donate $20 - possibly more if funds allow (I'm in college)
Anyone else?
good idea, i got $25 on it
They wouldn't take the money...

nope, but if someone bought a phone with the money, they'd take the phone in a heartbeat.

Why not. Well you probably can't speak for them but it's like a donation and they take those?

someone did this for a nook color when it first came out and that worked. not sure of specifics but it did indeed bring CM7 to it.

Yeah, devs really avoided CM7 and Miui until just recently. Got a Nexus to go with my ET4G and had CM7 and Miui on it within an hour...very different experience

[Q] Change Sprint banner name?

How can i change my banner from Sprint to my name without using CDMA workshop? I know TSM parts did it, but i want to know what file i can edit or something to get the same effect. Thanks
CDMA workshop limits the number of characters.
Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe its in the twframework.apk. In an xml under layout. I don't have a recompiled version with me to look at the xmls.

Some things I hope to see soon... Sprint S3

First off where is 4ext recovery?
Why is there no sprint CM9 thread in the actual development section?
..... Answered, Tapatalk tricked me lol
And last since there are CM9 nightlys how long til some MIUI v4 betas pop up?
Just a couple of things I am hoping / looking forward to seeing coming previously from the Evo line....

I know on the Tmobile GS2 you could just use Titanium Backup and freeze "tethering provision." Might check and see if that file is the note as well.
Try to change the profile to nexus gsm or generic ics jb wan0 thats what worked for galaxy s3 might wanna give it a try

I am feeling the same.... So far the Sprint variant already has Clean Rom and Triangle Away support and it came out a day after ours... They look to be ahead of the game in development for sure! I really don't know why, cause Sprint is probably the WORST carrier I have ever tried... But I guess that does not really matter to devs.. I just want Mobile Odin and Triangle Away support and definitely a REAL rom.... But patience is a virtue and I learned that WELL in the Army!

i don't think any tether apps are working for JB yet. I tried some of the JB touchwiz leaked on my galaxy s3, none of the apps worked (you guys can head over to tmobile s3 forum, alot of ppl asking the same questions about tethering on JB.). Went back to ICS then tether apps worked again.

agreed. remember that our phone has been out a whole 2 days. and since its tmobile it limits the number of devs on xda that have tmobile too.

WOW! That's great now is this confirmed working? Wait a minute.. that's great but we need the tethering to start before we can do that. All I know is that on an TouchWiz 4.1 Jelly Bean Tethering won't start... It just won't.
I used it yesterday.. and just used it again to verify. 1-click tether on the market.. it's free(unsecured). Works like a chicken and you know how well chickens work! DIY Phone Gadgets is the default name for the network.
