So were are all the new EC05 roms with one flash. currently we have to use odin and flash..... this sucks....
So if people are gonna build EC05 custom roms or anyother for that matter then please keep this in mind
1. no ext 4 with journaling disabled.
2. keep carrier iq as we can not be sure what is broken by removing it. and sprint has it their for a reason...
3. keep all sprint programs and just add the ones you want to to the custom rom.
4. make touch wiz the standard interface (it really is awsome)
5. keep it as stock as possible.

Um, this is posted on the wrong forum first off. secondly, Wouldnt that just be a stock EC05 rom rooted?
Seriously? This again, so you want a bone stock 'custom rom' as you would call it....lol.....the madness around here lately.....
Just flash the stock rom and call it good. No need to make a thread requesting a stock rom.
Yea, I agree. I love having Sprint spy on me, and rfs is soo much better, and who DOESNT like Sprint bloatware? Chefs, cook that up immediately! Im sure everybody here agrees with us too! Chefs..Snap snap...Hold the Odin

dude how can it be in the wrong forum when i am talking about development of roms? This thread is "Arrow Epic 4G Android Development". SO if i am talking about development it belongs here. Its not that hard to understand.
This is like, what, the third account this guy has made saying the SAME thing? In the SAME wrong forum? With the SAME spelling mistakes? Lol.

RFS is a poor choice compared to EXT4. Why anyone would want a ROM that uses it is beyond me, but it may be a good idea to have the ROMs as RFS/EXT4 capable when possible, but where not, EXT4 is by far the better option
2. keep carrier iq as we can not be sure what is broken by removing it. and sprint has it their for a reason...

I doubt much support will be gained for leaving in CIQ. Most ROMs are built to remove as much bloat as possible, and CIQ certainly fall into that category.
3. keep all sprint programs and just add the ones you want to to the custom rom.

Counterproductive. In most cases, ROMs are made to be as slim as possible. the better way is to have a single update.zip file that installs the stock and/or extra apps

Then what is the point? Most ROMs are trying to improve on stock as much as possible. any one wanted a "close to stock' ROM, can just root and install a modded kernel, and be at that point already. ROMs mostly aim to branch out as far as possible from stock, going above and beyond the stock experience.

First, this section is for development, not just talking about development. So if you start a thread here, people expect you to be developing something.
Second, the ROM you are requesting has already been developed and published by Sprint/Samsung.

Nicely answered!
Ha... this thread just made my day.. the ego.. the posted responses are correct.. odin flash ec05, use clockwork 2.5.5 to keep your rfs and gain root.. and your rom will be as u requested. No need to mandate that our devs waste their time making u a rom when they should be worrying about the rest of us who want something that's actually better than stock

Edit: forgot to mention that they do this for free, so mandating anything is extra douchey

the phones will start shipping next weekend, id hope the mods will make a cdma section for it by then? id love for some type of development for roms, rooting and kernels to start.
i requested it a while back ago. all i got was we will think about adding it.. its a shame too, look at the nexus s forums there have been a fair amount of bricks due to people flashing the wrong model number odin tars... imagine if we add cdma to that.. sure wouldnt want a repeat of what happened with the HTC Hero (cdma and gsm)
there would be no reason for xda to NOT add this section. i agree we need to keep the roms & mods separate.
Is the phone really even that much different? Has anyone tried a normal Nexus S ROM on a Nexus S 4g?

How about the hardware to work with Sprint's WiMAX?
That's why they want the section to avoid this misconception of the two being the exact same device.
rom wise you might be able to boot, but i dunno about the kernel.. but the radios definitely will ruin someones day.. the i9020 firmwares already brick i9023's and many of teh other variants

agreed the cdma/wimax nexus will require different radios, roms & kernels.
I agree GSM/CDMA should not share the same thread. Noobs will be bricking their devices left and right. Besides, it sucks sifting through GSM/CDMA threads trying to find a compatible ROM/kernel.
This is a necessity - I'm considering a switch, probably won't, but if I did, I would be afraid to use xda without this seperate forum.
I have been reading up, considering the switch, have decided not to. While reading and not knowing which phone is which, 9020, 9023, nor what the new one is, I see the confusion and problems this is causing among current users. Throw a whole bunch of new users from Sprint in, and this will be a mess, it will cause more problems than solutions.
I have mine preodered for this weekend, and I agree - YES, there does need to be a CDMA section. Even back in the days of the HTC Vogue, Touch Pro, and Hero devices, there was always the risk of flashing the wrong ROM - keeping the development forums separate is a MUST!
This is a must indeed!
Just preordered my Nexus S at Best Buy... we need a Nexus S 4G section!
i plan on taking this epic i bought saturday back to get the nexus s 4g when its released
NS4G FORUM A MUST!!!!!!!!!
This has been debated in the NS forum many times. Their bigest worry is about the devs sticking together. I feel this is a mute point. the SNS and the NS4G are going to be two diffrent beasts with a common branding. MOst of the reason my have been stated already
Or the other option is to let the bricks start flying and lose the NS4G community all together.

I know there's GSM support for it. I'm unfamiliar with AOSP devices. Will there be, or is there good developer support for the device when used with AT&T? I'm coming from a SGS 2 SkyRocket.
If you're not using the GSM version on AT&T there's probably no reason for you to be a troll.
Have you seriously not read a thread or news article in the last 24 hours?
That's not an AT&T Galaxy Nexus. Its an unlocked i9250 GSM model. Works on AT&T, T-Mobile, or any GSM carrier in the US/World. Its the same (save for pre-installed Google Wallet) as the European model that's been sold for the last 5+ months.
Seriously?
Google Officially Selling Galaxy Nexus GSM in USA via Play Store ($399)
On the first page of this forum.
I understand that... The phone will work on AT&T. Never said AT&T is selling it. FFS I linked to the Google page for it.
I just seen this today. The question is: is it worth it? If there's not going to be any developers working on it. It's probably not worth it to me. I'd probably just get the SGS 3.

Please just leave this thread and go join the other ones. You clearly have not read about the device, because it is the EXACT SAME as the other ones. It won't be a special phone that requires different ROMs or development. The phone has been on sale for over 5 months.

No, we're not trolls, we're just tired of people that are uninformed creating irrelevant, duplicate threads before searching or even reading the titles of the threads on the first page of the forum.
Obviously this phone has developer support, it's a Nexus. It doesn't matter what freaking SIM card you put in the back of it, its still the same device. GSM device support is GSM device support. Read. Please!

FFS ppl the OP was just asking a question. Yes the GN sold by Google is supported by AOSP and will have [email protected]!# ton of ROM and development going for a long time
Per your suggestion I've looked through the last 5 pages and there's a couple that's semi similar to mine. The official announcement: which I could try to start a conversation there and it get lost in the general chatter about it, and another question like mine but about the battery. I could hijack his thread. That would be cool? Instead of trolling, which most of the replies have been, you could have said something like "I seen a post earlier that might help out". The replies have been absolute crap. If you're tired of seeing it ignore it.
I'm Never used an AOSP device, or an international device. Before I bought it I thought I would come over kick up a conversation with some people that have a GN and ask some questions. General stuff about development on it. Is there a difference between this one and the international version.
The way you people responded to someone that has never been in this specific device's forum, or messed with any variant of the device before is not right.

Thank you!! I'll talk to you.
Thinking about buying it. Never used or paid much attention to AOSP devices because AT&T doesn't sell them. Are there any catches coming from Non-AOSP devices? I wasn't sure if there's any catches to using the international GSM roms with AT&T. Completely clueless here. I don't necessarily have time to read every post for 10 pages. Looking for a general overview of my questions.
You asked a really obvious question which is why people are responding to you the way they are. The question also doesn't make much sense since it is hard to believe that you this little about this phone. I think you are asking if the Galaxy Nexus works well with AT&T. The answer is yes. It also works well with any GSM network provider. There is good development for this phone, and nothing has to be or will be unique to AT&T.
There's no catches to using this phone with AT&T. Everything works great. Well actually, there are a few catches, I wouldn't get this phone if you were hoping to have:
1. Delayed software updates, or no updates at all
2. Terrible superimposed user interface that is more buggy
3. Lots of bloatware like AT&T Navigator just in case you wanted to pay AT&T for something Google gives for free and does a better job at.
If you are looking for any of those, then yeah, that's the only catch.
Why would I every look into a phone that I can't use? It has nice specs. I can't use it. Close. What's obvious to you isn't so obvious to someone else. Maybe it's all exactly the same as what I'm used to, or maybe there's some stuff you you "just know from experience" that I wouldn't know.
I read your post twice and I have no idea what you were trying to say.

Maybe a better question is: "Do the GSM ROMS work correctly on AT&T without any catches? If there is a catch are the developer pretty quick to help fix, or do the developers ignore AT&T"
I know this is not a primary AT&T device so I know the support is going to be back burner. I just want to know how back burner it is.

This is what I'm saying. You have a very very weak understanding of how this works. Do you really think that there are specific ROMs and tweaks for all of the dozens of carriers people are using this device on? Its an unlocked GSM device. There's no special software needed. You put in your SIM card.
Developers suppor the device. Not the network.
Hello all!
So, hopefully a simple answer to a (seemingly) simple question that I have not yet been able to find an answer for.
I am a Telus Mobile customer here in Canada. Some time ago, my HTC Amaze was stolen at a music festival, and upon my return home, I bought a NIB Galaxy S III (SGH-1747M) from a 3rd party retailer. Cash, no contract renewal, etc. Since I bought it 3rd party and NOT through a carrier dealer, my phone came (thankfully) without ANY of Telus's bloated carrier branding. Because it takes Telus so long to get, tweak, brand and release any software updates, it's often several months AFTER a release has come out before my carrier makes it available.
So, here I am, with my shiny, awesome Galaxy S III, and everywhere I look, there's a story about Jelly Bean, and how awesome it is. Naturally, I'd like it for my phone. But here's my question: (Two, actually) 1, if do an "over the air" update through my carrier by checking for online updates, will it update my phone with "branded" carrier software? And 2, Is it possible to just download and install a Jelly-Bean update to my phone directly from Samsung? I'm REALLY enjoying not having a bunch of crappy carrier infested bloatware on my phone, and would rather go with a clean ICS update than a bloated JB update.
Thanks for ANY help!
Doubt it. Whatever you'll get from Samsung will be for the international, which will brick your phone. You'll have to get it from your carrier which will megabloat your phone. You may then proceed to debloat your phone, once you have obtained root. Rather than that, why don't you get one of the awesome jelly bean ROMs in the development section? Simplifies things a bit.

I agree with the above poster. Rooting and then flashing a custom ROM is undoubtedly the best way to experience unadulterated JB in my opinion.
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB 11/18/12 Build
Task650 Underwear kernel. (Conservative/Noop)
Or when official JB is released, typically you'll see a debloated version within 12 - 24 hours here on XDA. Root IS the way to go. So many options.

Trouble is, I haven't got the FIRST clue of how or where to start this process, and knowing me, I'd bork something and brick my phone. I would need VERY, VERY detailed and specific instructions that could walk me through it. I have NEVER flashed a ROM, or a phone, or any of that. I haven't got a clue where to start, and with all the phones, variations, software, etc, etc, etc. Learning how, from scratch... Is a little daunting. But hey, if anyone here is kind enough to show me the way, I'd love to give it a shot.

Keep in mind, most roms in the international section are for GSM phones... I believe.
