Any thoughts on a good kernel with good battery and not mich LOS?

Do we have any devs working on evo design 4g? My bro just picked one up, and we were wondering if its been rooted, and if not, is the method the same as evo 4g. Sorry for the off topic question

Please bear with me while I work on root.

Please be patient while root is being worked on by myself.
The mount points need to be adapted from the process I have in mind and it might take a while.
In the mean time, I would encourage everybody to join the freenode irc we have going and join the cause.

Checklist.
[] Obtain root with a certain method on a stock Epic Touch.
[] Pull stock zImage.
[] Pull initramfs.
[] Build kernel with root.
Good luck ....bubby!!

As a former Epic 4G user, I hope you are correct. Our dev section was and is a bit of a wasteland. We had very few ROM updates from Sprint and were it not for Samfirmware, we still would not have Gingerbread.

Same here. I can only imagine how much good stuff we will have to flash in a few months. I think this phone will stay relevant for a long time. I mean, what can't we do on this beast?

Aprosamurai had it, I think I had found the same one you had in the past when I was looking for it, aprosamurai had a working version that had the required libs as well. This was when I began archiving these type of things, on second thought, I might have it, gimme a sec.
Alright, just to confirm, this is the Galaxy S 2's camera.apk, but working for our epics, resigned or whatever I guess.

Sense for et4g

So whats everyones opinion for sense 4.0 on epic 4g touch want some opinions
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It would be neat, but the community was already fooled by someone who promised this once already and I would imagine no one will donate for this to happen until after it actually happens.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Lol i said nothing about donating lol thats not my style iv already ported to nexus shouldnt be too hard
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you can do it that would be great. I only mentioned the donations because a certain someone asked the community to help buy him an E4GT to bring us sense and it never happened.

The other person said the same thing.You must've ported your build for yourself since you only have a few posts as well as a junior member.Why not share with the rest of the community.I'm not trying to be negative only pointing out the obvious.Good luck with your project.
Well on nexus i just got it to boot....
Then switched to other device so i didnt maintain it

Reading your post about porting it,it sounded as if you had a fully functioning build.Good luck with it,it'll be nice to have more development for this phone...what nexus device was it for,gnex or nexus s?
Ns and it wasnt fully functional it had 4g and bluetooth borked

The fact you just joined the site looks fishy (No offense, I'm just a paranoid person). At least you aren't asking for donations. If you can do it, do it. if you can't, oh well. I will say this though, you have better luck trying to port sense 2.1, 3.x... It has been confirmed that sense 4.x does not play well with samsung devices and many other devices as it is in this current state.
My personal opinion is; It'd be nice to have more options on this device because the reality is, this device is fast, fluid, and has a lot of possibilities! I feel as if I should have gotten a nexus device sometimes but sprint always fails to get the latest nexus devices by months...

Cant you just continue the work alrready started with the port? The "person who shall not be named" got it to boot but a lot of things were borked. Couldnt u just use the kernel from the zip?

Porting Touchwiz features to AOSP?

Is this possible? I heard Samsung has their features closed source, but i dont know if that is true.
If it is true has anybody find a way to do it?
is there a guide to do this?
If this is possible this would be great for a rom.:laugh:
I believe there are developers already working on this. Hope it comes soon. Check developing forms
