Since the thread got closed for who knows what, let's build a list of known issues, fixes and whatever else...
For one, my brightness didn't work, so I flashed Kernel #15 which fixed that issue. Now my camera only shows a white screen.
BTW, I looked for a similar thread, but didn't find one. I tend to miss things sometimes though.

I'm pretty sure the thread got closed, because wdfowty requested it be closed. Based on a comment he made in the thread, I presume he requested the thread be closed because of the ridiculous, juvenile, and inappropriate tags that people were leaving. So as usual, the thread was closed due to people acting like 3 year old kids.
Anyways, on your topic, I have fortunately not encountered any of the bugs that other people have mentioned in the thread. Everything I've been able to test so far is working perfectly. The only thing that I wish, is that HTC released the leak with Sense 2.1. I want a 2.1 sense rom with working 4g!!!
Right, people have been acting so ridiculously here lately.
Back on topic, camera with kernel 15 seems to be my only issue. Anybody got a link to just the kernel on the new leak? I would rather have my camera rather than brightness adjustable. Unfortunately.

When I turn on the camera/camcorder to take a pic/record, the screen appears all white. However, if you take a picture, it comes out but looks a little fuzzy. If I try to record a video in mpeg4, it will record but force close when it tries to save it. If I try to record a video using H.264, it force closes immediately. I tried clearing the data of the camera app and that did not help.
Weird.
I'm downloading Virus's version which has the camera fixed, but it may be just for pics. I think video still may be borked, but I cannot confirm that yet.
Edit: Forgot to add that I am running Netarchy's 4.3.4 kernel with the leaked 2.3 update.
Yea, the issue I had was brightness lock, fixed with kernel 15, which left me with the white screen camera.

i got my to work with everyting, but with the stock kernel.
I have a hardware 002 which I don't think is an Epson screen. I can not change the brightness on the leaked ROM. When I try to flash HTC Kernel 15 the phone won't boot it gets past the HTC EVO white screen but then hangs up right before the Boot Animation. You can tell the screen is on but nothing ever happens...

Do you mean the stock kernel that came with the leaked update, or the previousw stock kernel #15 like Rydah is using? I may just re-flash it with the stock kernel for now.
Or, just nandroid back to Myn's rom until all the wrinkles get ironed out. I don't see so much of an improvement so as to keep a buggy rom when it was working perfectly before.

Wouldn't work either way since the framework in the Touchwiz 4.0 MOD is removing alot of the basics of the Epic causing boot loops or frozen samsung start ups. For example the basic 4G layout. If you want to make it work you have to manually edit it so it can atleast work with leaky gingerbread. To be honest its not worth it that much since 1) leaky gingerbread might not even be compatible even if its edited, 2) most gestures and features are not included in the mod, 3) it better to save the work time for nexus 4g and porting that or the epic2 framework. Or if you got the coding skills and patience make your own launcher, launchers like launcher 7(status bar and tile layout), Spb Shell(3D interface), and Regina(with nice animations) show that you can pull off UIs similar Touchwiz 4.0 or Honeycomb but it requires time.

Here is the system dump & custom TAR of the ICS XXKP8 ROM that was leaked for the international version. This version will boot on our phones but without a CDMA kernel, there will no data, wifi, CWM, etc, so this is meant for DEVS\POWER USERS ONLY to play with.
DO NOT TRY FLASHING THESE FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T COMPLAIN IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REVERT TO A WORKING ROM AS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.7z - System dump plus zImage
GT-I9100XXKP8_4.0.3_IML74K.tar - Flashable through ODIN
interesting, thanks for this. how far do you suppose we are from a somewhat functional ICS build?
ninja edit: first!
Oh man, thing's are getting hot in the kitchen.
So just a quick question: Why wont this won't brick our phones? Why have their been so many people with bricked phones for flashing international ROMs?
Other then that, awesome work. Just saw your Stock EL29 repack. Youre on fire !
Sweet, great job calkulin... you the man.
I'll do a quick review video of these for sure
This is a good starting point. We need to someone who can hack the 2.3 kernel to run Android 4.0

Because this is just the kernel & system files. If they flashed the complete tar(modem, bootloader, etc), then they definitely will cause a lot of issues
When you get that one bastardized kernel, it'll be good for all international ports to use for awhile til we get source

It has it's issues, front cam doesn't work(main cam works tho), rotation is inverted, no data, no wifi, etc but at least we get a feel for what the official ICS update will be like once it's released. If we get a working kernel, then fixing those issues wouldn't be that hard as I have fixed them before on the EVO ports but until we get a kernel, I'm not even going to start trying

Yep, although if you wait for it to unfreeze, you can then move around momentarily, before it freezes again...so far I can see that it DOES NOT have the face unlock, and other than settings, popup\menus and the Gmail app, which you can notice a difference right away, even without emails in it, it looks pretty much the same being that its TWIZ and not AOSP!

For many many reasons, not least of which was no significant progress towards ICS (which at that point needed CM7 as a prerequisite). Hopefully with the system files maybe someone can drag up that kernel and see if they can be made to work together but I think it is a CM kernel and I'm not sure that could be made to play with this...

Hi guys!.Managed to add OpenGL 2.0 driver support to our Heroes.Don't expect any miracles,our GPU can't support everything,that requires 2.0 graphics.The mod increases display performance,gives a high boost to Android 4.0 ROMs(turns on hardware accelerating) and maybe helps in some games.For those,who want to try it,flash attach from CWM Recovery(zip is not signed).In case if something goes wrong or you want to turn it off just delete file data/local.prop

I tried it on ICS now, and I got to say, it's a HUGE improvement! Really! Of course, it's not like VE, but for example pulling down the pulldownbar is about as smooth as it's possible. With this mod I think I can use ICS as a daily!

The most significant news in this update is this item:
- Optimized LTE system selection
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Apparently one cause of the negative experience in the first LTE rollout markets is that handsets had been programmed to downshift from LTE to EVDO at a threshold signal strength for LTE that was too high. So many users couldn't get an LTE connection or hold on to in. (See this article at S4GRU.)
The other big factor was skimpy tower coverage at the time of launch. The handset factor magnified this problem.
Any way we can download it via odin because it not showing up in my phone yet.

But you are running a custom ROM. I see that build LG8 is floating around here.
LG4 is announced as an OTA update for stock.
no the zip my phone downloaded says its lg8....the file says 04646f9535b3.update_sph-L710_LG2_to_LG8.zip
If anyone is looking for the RDF from Sprint, you can find it here:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L710/LG8.rdf
Looks like LG8 is real as there is an RDF page for it. I don't know who is and isn't familiar with these, but we used/found RDF pages for the Epic frequently around upgrade OS time. Most of them are test builds, but it shows a lot of information about that release.
For example, if you change the last part of the URL to LG4.rdf, you'll get a page too as that's a legit build from Sprint. However, if you change it to LG9.rdf you get nothing as that build doesn't exist.
I don't know exactly what the number means but L must be for 2012 and G is for July. I'm assuming the number stands for the build (not necessarily a specific date) of that month. So the first build in August would probably be LH1.
Since we don't have any OS updates on the horizon yet, these may not do much good, but once we start hearing more about Jelly Bean, we'll at least know when Sprint starts working on it.
And FWIW, it's formatted nicely when using IE but I know some browsers don't format those pages well at all. I'm forced to use IE at work, so it's a bummer for 99% of things.
