roms in tar.md5 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello guys, i was wondering how come devs didn't release their ROMs in tar.md5's or just tar's to flash with Odin. I heard someone on this forum (it was a while ago and i don't remember what post/poster) that flashing a ROM in odin would make it a bit faster. I don't know if this is true or not (please let me know if thats false). Either way, thanks in advanced for your responses and insight.

There is no speed difference unless you are talking about time to flash and recovery wins that battle. And many people want their roms flashable without having to bother with a pc. Also building a tar takes longer to create. So if you are making frequent updates to your rom it becomes a pain. So in short I would say the demand is not worth the effort.

[Q] Flashed New Caulkins 2.0, and now phone won't boot

So, I flashed Caulks new EK02 Rom, and, when I went to restart, phone is stuck on boot screen; Wiped everything as normal before flashing, but stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I tried all the normal stuff to get into recovery, but phone won't go past the initial boot screen.
I have a mac computer, and thats all there are in the house, so I can't use Odin..
Can someone help me get the phone back to a state where it starts up?
Thanks so much for your help!

First of all, this is the ONLY thread I made for this question; I made a post in the thread where the rom was located to make the dev aware of the issue
I'll be watching you closely, for when you have a serious issue and ask for help, to make sure you don't post it more than once..
And, BTW, I used Heimdall on my own, without your suggestion; I've been flashing phones for longer than you've probably been on this earth...

Thanks for your kind words, John; you show the kind of class that used to be everywhere on this forum!

my friend the amount of time you spent asking others to answer, could of been spent you doing a little research on your own. Like download both roms open them up in a file manager and view the system/app/ and see whats missing. Honestly is doing the leg work for yourself that difficult. I know its Q&A but come on now do you need to be spoonfed...

It's a hit or miss with that. I've seen people get upset in the rom threads with these type of questions saying it doesn't belong in there. The best thing to do is research and 1st hand experience. People can say stuff but unless you try it out, you won't truly know.

Hey that's how they learn you gang bang them and pop their cherry into searching better next time. Just because your a noob don't mean you never used Google before or don't know how to read. Too many passes are given to simple questions being asked. I don't enjoy bashing but someone got to put these guys on the right path. Lol

Back to stock gingerbread for me :(

So I had to switch back to gingerbread after a week or so of running the ics leak. The deal breaker for me was battery life. I absolutely loved being on ics and consider it vastly superior, but, even swapping out batteries (I have 2) it was still too much work. And then theres the failness of showing someone how awesome ics is and then WTF IS KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE... lol. It was a good daily driver but I like when my phone lasts more than 6 hours. I cant wait for a stable ROM to be released! And I congratulate all the devs on your hard work. Guys if it werent for you I would be so much less of a nerd, and for that I salute you.

Oh my god you flamer idiots need to get a life. I'm sure the OP wanted to inform people who were thinking about flashing the leak that battery sucks on it. Or maybe it's a poorly worded request for help. Either way you don't have to pile on like that.
