Blazer rom 4.0 vs Calkulins 2.9.2 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Just wondering which y'all prefer, I've been running Calkulins for near a month and wondered if I should stay or try blazer.. I'm all about performance and battery life.. Thanks go yalls input

I would go with Blazer. Phantom is CONSTANTLY updating his so that it improves in battery and performance. There's no undervolting script included, but you can adjust that anyways with SetCPU and you probably don't need it because Blazer battery life is amazing.

I'm a Blazer fan myself, so naturally I would recommend trying it out. What you could do is nandroid backup your Calkulin set up, and try Blazer. If you don't like it you can always restore your Calkulin set up.

I personally am using blazer, i didnt like calkulin's for some reason, although im currently waiting for the updated version of TCP's MIUI.

+1 on Blazer. Both are excellent roms but Blazer is definitely ahead in the battery game (though from what I read, Calkulin's new ICS ROM has amazing battery life when idle).

Well I decided to try to get into flashing blazers rom and I get stuck on boot.. It say don't flash with hitman kernel and I'm on rouge el29.. Is it a special flash route??

The latest blazer requires a full wipe. did you do that? did you flash calk's format all?

No just a reg wipe thru cwm

Follow the OP instructions exactly and you should be good to go. Most people who where stuck at the boot logo didn't wipe fully. You can just flash calks format all to make things simpler, then flash the rom right after.
after you flash blazer 4.0 and can boot, you can restore your data using cwm if you want. Just go to back up and restore in cwm, then advance restore-> data of your latest nandroid backup.

I expected this thread to be about 50/50! What have I been missing out on? Lol

I think you should give Blend a try.
I love Blazer for its battery life and frequent updates. I love Calkulins for all the extra stuff he has thrown in there (and yes his ICS room is awesome!).
But yeah my all time favorite is Blend (on GB or ICS).

If you do restore-data, does it put all the settings and programs back on the phone like it was with the other rom? One reason i'm hesitant to install another rom is all the work it takes to get it back to the way this one was.

The first rom I flashed was blazer and I loved it! but it seemed like after each update I disliked it more and more, although I'm sure his new one is awesome. My personal preference is Calk's because it was completely stable for me and gave me the best battery life, even overclocked.

Well I tried to full wipe with Calkulins zip and for extra measure wiped myself and I'm back on the Samsung boot screen.. What's going on with blazer not wanting to install.. I'm on el29..

Try flashing the stock el29 rom which will set the kernel and modem back to el29. Happened to me before and this has worked.
Sent from my iPhone killer.

I am currently on Blazer 4.0 and it is super smooth and stable. I was using Calkulins OG ICS build and i had alot of crashes and very problematic. Though Calkulin post all leaks and new builds very quickly and is getting the dev opertunities where they are now i believe blazer is far perfecting them.

Did you do an MD5 check to make sure you got a good clean download? I had the same problems before and I found it was due to a bad download (it happens, not the dev's fault).

Non-Asop roms always freeze.

I reflash to odin, root with the new one click, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash SRF, after a few hours it will freeze with a black screen and I have to pop the battery to re-boot. I've tried wiping 3 times, turning journaling on, etc. Every non-asop rom eventually freezes on me, however, miui and cm7 never have that problem? Looking for suggestions and and aswser as to why the aosp roms never have the same issue. Any other rom freezes with in 24 hours, cm7 and miui have never froze on me.

I'm talking about true stock. I use your odin tar as a starting point seeing as how its pre-rooted. Honestly have never given it a try as a daily driver, if SRF freezes after flashing and not wiping, I may have to give it a try.

Don't worry. This whole thread makes no sense unless the OP means that CM7 is the only ROM that does not freeze.
The Epic has no other AOSP ROM that I am aware of. I guess even the stock ROMs freeze for the OP.

I'm wondering if you are using any cpu control apps? Setcpu? Pimp my cpu? Voltage control?
And/or any ram mamaging apps like auto memory manager?
I would suggest after you get on srf 1.1.1, get setcpu, do a quick auto detect on there, and change settings to conservative 200 min 1000 max, see if that helps, make sure you do NOT have both voltage control and setcpu installed.
Auto memory manager will also interfere with the ram tweaks in srf that's why I included that
Sent from my SPH-D700
@prodigy
CM7 and MIUI are both aosp, neither of those freeze, neither does a stock odin flash, any custom rom freezes.
@dr
I'm not using voltage control or setcpu, but I am using an auto task killer. Could that be the issue? And why is it only on non-aosp roms that I have this problem. Never had a bad flash with miui or cm7, and evey custom rom always freezes after trying everything.

Is it possible?

To do a nandroid advanced restore of data from a gb rom to a ics rom? Currently on calks ics fd24 and i have a nandroid of blazer rom. Would doing an advanced restore of data be ok or do you think it might mess something up?

I'd use sfhubs autoroot EL26+StockCWM. Safest bet for sure.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Oh I wouldn't do that yet. But, you can try it an let us all know. For maximum safety I've just been using Odin to flash then going back to the stock EL26+CWM to then flash to ICS builds. And then I have to reinstall all my apps and do the configuration of everthing again - real pain in the anus. Main reason I haven't been flashing as much. I have kept coming back to my Blazer Rom. After messing with ICS I'll do the above (Oding stock EL26, add stock CWM - both from sfhub) then restore my last nandroid. It gets me back to completely working phone. I'm hoping to get some answers to using the 'preserve data' option to update/upgrade so I can save a crap load of time and effort.
Ill try and see what happens. Also, i thought the ics kernels were only giving problems for flashing roms? Whenever im on a ics rom and i want to go back to blazer, i just wipe and restore, no issues.

ICS safe?

Are the ics roms safe to flash? The 1st time I flashed a ics rom,i had probs. No recovery,glitchy and jus plain janky. Im sure they have come along way. Can som1 recommend a safe stable ics rom that also has rogue recovery or acs?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you want to go back to gingerbread use el29 restore get recovery then flash CyanogenMod 9 it is better than most roms based off leaks.
Here is the latest stock ICS.

Give the devs a little time and you can flash a kernel with the recovery you want.

They are safe to flash if you follow OP directions. Always flash from el26 cwm recovery and you're good. If you cant live without recovery, flash a touchwiz rom and use agat63s repack recovery.
SFhub just released an updated FF02+CWM repack built on GB code to avoid the eMMC lockup bug. However, you need to check the ROM and see if update-binary is corrected or not.
Please look for his post on this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694695&page=7
The other safe solution is the one that has been known - go back to EL26 and flash away from there. (GB doesn't have the offending code that causes the bug to be triggered.)
I've been using Calkulin's E4GT 2 v1.6 ICS rom since version 1.6 came out (FE22) and I haven't had a single crash or FC, and I've been getting good battery life.. I never even get close to dying and thats even with a couple hours of screen on time (games, facebook, lots of texting, ~1hour talk time).
I'd say go for it =) Just make sure you follow all instructions carefully! This ROM was very easy to flash.. I had been using Calkulin's GB rom (el29) and all I had to do was wipe my caches and flash his .zip file in CWM.. bam, ICS ^_^
When you say safe what is it you really mean... cuz its all SAFE if you know what you are doing..
Well nothing is ever 100% safe. There is always a small chance you could screw things up somehow (the eg31 deal back when the phone was first released, the emmc bug, etc). There are always possible unknown side effects that don't become obvious until down the line.
That said, if you are careful, the odds of doing something irreversible are extremely small on a phone that has been out for a few months or more.

new e4gt owner with questions about roms

i just picked up an e4gt today, i had one back in december that i rooted then sold. so im back and now there's a ton of stuff out there for this phone.
i just came over from the evo design where there is pretty much nothing happening, and before that i had an evo shift. i had cm7 installed on that and loved it.
so what rom do you guys suggest i use? i see there is cm9 available in alpha form, which has me very tempted.
im looking for a stable rom with no bloatware. and id love some advice.

Go with cm9 that darchstar has posted. It works great and I use it as my daily. After you do the base install I recommend nightly 7/24 and using the chris41g kernel b3 version with it. Great battery life and full functionality.

Does cm9 wipe out cwm?
I'm paranoid to do anything without an option for recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Here is your safest bet (as in super safe):
1. Download the el26 safe cwm kernel from the kernel repository in the sticky for this phone
2. Download cm9 6 and gapps
3. Follow cm9 6 download instructions
4. Let it boot
5. Use mobile Odin if you have it (highly recommend as it makes flashing so easy) and flash the el26 kernel that you downloaded in the kernel section from external sd...always check md5 sum first!
6. Once u see the blue light on ur phone in the LED, hold power+volume up to boot into recovery, once the sgs2 logo shows you can lay off the buttons
7. If you didn't do it in time or held too long, just pull the battery and go to recovery via power+volume up
8. You should be in cwm, flash the nightly of cm9, clear dalvik and cache, then flash the chris 41g b3 kernel and reboot
9. Enjoy
10. From this point forward you have a bomb rom and working recovery that will allow backup/nand/flashing safely.

Safe Recovery?

Greetings,
I've goofed around with rooting, and flashing kernels and modems so far with my device, but now I want to get into looking at different ROMs.
I keep seeing that it's critical to use a "known safe kernel/recovery" to avoid bricking, however very little information about what those safe kernels are.
I'd like to try the Re-Calked ROM. Would Agat's FI27repack with recovery be a safe kernel to use for this ? That's what I've currently got on my device.
So sorry for a noob question, but I've had a hard time figuring out a definitive answer for this as information seems to become outdated quickly, and it's difficult to determine what supersedes what.

Just to clear any confusion, it was not the Fi27 repack. It was a combination of Fi25 repack and going to an aokp build.
Let's try to keep this clear to avoid any undue misconceptions by posting references without making blind statements.
If there IS a reference to a Fi27 issue, please reference it.
And as always - When in doubt, use EL26.

I only use el26 to wipe and flash, the only thing I flash from "safe" ICS recoveries in the el26zip and then reboot recovery. I've been too lazy to use mobile Odin lately so started just flashing el26 via recovery only wiping cache and dalvik before install. I've had issues with cwm 6 hanging while doing backups

So if I want to flash an ICS ROM is EL26 ok to use even though some ICS ROMs require an ICD kernel?

All ics roms require an ics kernel
But yes you can flash an ics rom with the el26 kernel (just boot straight into recovery) when you flash the ics rom of your choice the kernel is already included; so after you flash everything, the ROM shall boot

I did install crawrj stock FH13 ROM but I staryed to get random reboots. So I asked in his thread and was told I had to flash a ICS kernel first then the ROM but when I flash agats kernel I still got random reboots.

I'm a little confused lol.. I mean you don't have to flash an ics kernel and then an ics rom.. Unless is the *rare case the ROM you are trying to Flash doesn't have a kernel included... But you do need an ics kernel to. Boot an ics rom so maybe that's what was meant?
And these random reboots.. Have you tried a fresh install wiping data... Cache.. Dalivk cache

I use Calkulins Format All with data wipe. After I flash the ROM then it boots up and I set my phone up and as soon as I make a call or browse the web my phone reboots. So what I just did was odin back to Fh13 then install el26 cwm using mobile odin. Then I flashed. Agats FI03 then I flashed crawrj fi27 rom. Now waiting to see if it reboots.

In the future I would try wiping manually, I've heard some users have issues using those wipe all scripts.. But some don't.. So I guess it's just a case by case type of thing
And if the reboots keep happening I would do a fresh install of another rom just to see.. Assuming you like the stock look I recommend you to take a look at recalked..pretty nice rom

Yeah like Miguel said try wiping manually, from a "safe" recovery. I personally prefer el26+cwm. I've had issues with the wipe all scripts not grabbing everything. I typically wipe manually then flash a format all x2 script from rujules then flash my rom and gapps then wipe cache and dalvik again then boot to system. Then after system boots I go back to recovery and install my inverted gapps after my account is set up and any mods I wanna install wiping cache and dalvik before and after and i rarely have issues with FCs or reboots. Usually I get em from testing something that ends up not being compatible :thumbup:

Just to clear any confusion, it was not the Fi27 repack. It was a combination of Fi25 repack and going to an aokp build.
Let's try to keep this clear to avoid any undue misconceptions by posting references without making blind statements.
If there IS a reference to a Fi27 issue, please reference it.
And as always - When in doubt, use EL26.
Here is the Vanberge thread for my reference :

That was my mistake, I should have verified before posting. I was confusing with a separate issue. Sorry all!
