Hidden Videos?????? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was wandering around in the system files and when I went into system/media/video I found 6 short video clips! 3 different ones each in 240p and 480p. The first is called androidinspace, the second is called disco, and the third is called sunset! I was just wondering why these videos are in here seeings as far as I know they're not used anywhere. has anyone else noticed these or anything else thats kinda odd?

What rom?

Probably a hidden menu token. I remember on an old release of an obsolete ROM, you long press on something that wasn't supposed to be pressed and a picture would pop up. Drawn by somebody's kid.

No, that's officially on GB...
And you rapidly tap the Settings>About Phone>Android version to do it.
Same in ICS, to get the Nyan Droid animation

Can Someone make a Froyo Rom for the epic touch

the reason I would want to go back to an old version is because of the sound bug. I can not game on the current os version. most of the game that I play crash on me. It just crash and go back to the home screen without any errors. I was thinking that the Froyo version might not have the sound bug. I don't want to wait for ICS because my old games might not be compatible with it.
Yeah, what the hell make a CM6 one while your at it! lol
I don't think it's a Gingerbread thing, I think it's a Samsung Galaxy S II thing.
How about a cupcake rom? Then we won't have Google maps support or jit! No seriously, why would you want to downgrade the os? How about just a fix on our current software? This would have been relevant on a g1, but not our dual core super phone.
sent from my Epic 4g Touch
Wow this is a first. I've never seen a request to downgrade Android. As far as games go I've never had any issues with them and I play quite a few on mine. Can you name a few of the games that give you issues?
If u want ill trade u a htc hero for the epic touch... Lol

Your logic isn't sound. What reason do you have to believe this has anything to do with Gingerbread? Considering our phone has plenty of other bugs unique to it, the obvious assumption is this is a bug with our phone. One that's likely to be fixed in the next update. A FroYo ROM would just add several hundred more bugs into the mix since it wouldn't be officially supported and fully tested.
No one is gonna make a ROM just for 1 specific issue. I play games all the time no issues here.
This is the funniest request I have seen in a long time. I do give the op props though. At least he didn't post this in development section.

Pretty nice, cant wait for epic 4g touch variant.
Wow, that looks slick.
Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

Dual Booting with our Phone

is it possible? i have done some research and the only app i can find that does this does not support our phones. Boot manager pro is the name of it and the other one i found only supports the overseas SG2. I would like to mess with other roms but just hate having to flash back and forth.
I wish I could be of some help because I am very interested in the same. I have also searched for a way. Grub4android?? lol. Now that would be great!!
Someone claimed to have dual boot working along with a working cm9 awhile ago ...
To bad they were full of ****
You should try an app called switchMe from the market its free and seems to work with our phone I can not say that much about the app yet I have not tried it out yet but I think it should work

Thanks for all the replays. so i am assuming there is no dual booting for our phones as of yet. also i have not been able to get switchme to work either it just reboots into the same main profile... i dont know if the latest update supports our phone though. last i read it doesnt.
The Guys here made it to Triple Boot and we can't even get Dual

Thanx thats really cool. looks like its not a high priority for our phones. its cool though. ICS is way more important anyways. the reason i want dual is to test out the alpha build for ICS.

You can nandroid ... then flash then restore ... won't take that long like 5 mins
just wondering when you nand backup does that backup all the apps,messages, contacts, login info , etc.... or only the current rom wiped?
yes it backs up everything.
When you restore a nandroid are you also restoring the kernel and rom?
Or does it just restore your apps/data?
For instance -- Can I nandroid, wipe, flash blazer rom and then restore and have all my data + apps on Blazer?
Sorry for the noob question!
anybody try switchme
I can Download it but I haven't tried it yet

[Request] Samsung Keypad from SGS3!

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting on this forum but I'm not new to viewing these threads haha well anyways I thought it would be nice to be able to use the Samsung keypad from the SGS3 on my E4GT! I personally like how it's integrated with swype! Anyone else that likes that? If this keyboard has already been ported to our phones may someone please give me a link to it? And if not, it would be nice to see that one of our many developers on these forums can start working on a port of the keyboard, thanks!
Even the Samsung Galaxy note keyapd is awesome. Any way to get it work?

It's not a Jelly Bean easter egg. It doesn't even remotely fit the definition of an easter egg. It's a option which can be enabled on CM10 and some custom ROMs.

Didn't know that. Jumped on the bandwagon with the OG Atrix and menu unlock wasn't available until GB for us. It was briefly available on froyo I think but then we got GB shortly thereafter.
That's why I said at least GB, wasn't sure if it existed before.
