Develop Bugs

My epic touch is arriving tomorrow

Thanks for all the input last week guys. My new phone will be arriving tomorrow night! I plan on rooting immediately, what method is the best? Automated? Have there been any Samsung updates that break this method?
As far as modems goes, which one should I flash for the least amount of LoS issues? I've been hearing about two lately.
I plan on flashing cm7, dual booting if that is ready yet (I need gps sometimes). I understand there is a lot if drama recently but I just love cm and hope that he's got dual booting finished.
Lastly, what are these Odin counts that I have read about? Do they keep track of flashes for screwing you out of your warranty should something go wrong? Is there a way to reverse this?
What other roms would you recommend? I understand ics is a ways out.... That will be disappointing because I am rocking a very solid build on my Evo Shift....
I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
Thanks again

Use sfhub's autoroot for quick and easy rooting. The EK02 OTA update and the EL13 leak have both helped people a lot with LOS issue. Many/most of the custom ROMs are now based off of EL13. All of the custom ROMs are pretty much fine tuned now with most of the good mods. The only thing you may need to add is 4g Hotspots hack

^ sfhub's method.

I wouldn't worry about cm too much. Rumor has it that darchstar is working on cm9 official for us. I owe him a lot got his hero work which got us cm on the Eris.

Oh wow that is good to hear! I used his hero rom back in the day... Also believe he was the first to get Gingerbread running. Had that running for a couple weeks until I "upgraded" to my Shift and was stuck with freakin sense and no permanent root for a few months...
Now that I have ics on my Shift I'll be temporarily stuck on gingerbread... This is truly great news! Darchstar is the man!

Try it stock for a few days just so you can get a feel for it.
This way if you Root it and something doesnt work you will at least know it worked on Stock.
GPS, WiFi, Los are examples.
I am on a stock ROM and my device is working great. No issues.

I got mine a few days before Christmas, and I am loving it. I am coming from the original HTC Evo 4G that I had since it came out. I ran CM on that for nearly the entire time I had that, so I was a little sad to see the E4GT did not have CM support. That being said, I am actually glad it did not have CM support because I have had to learn more about other ROMs, kernels, etc than I had to with CM.
I rooted right out of the box using the auto root method (stickied in the development thread).
I flashed the EL13 modem next and have had no issues.
I am now running Strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM with the Rogue Desperado kernel v1.3.0.
I would post links, but I am not allowed to yet since my post count is so low.
To me, the phone is a lot snappier than my Evo 4G, and I have been generally pleased with it so far.

Awesome thanks for the info. I plan to run stock for a few days... It should be arriving over the next couple of hours. None of the Samsung updates break root right? I want to update it asap but don't want to lose access to root

Well that would be expected. That's how most devs start.
Sent from my Mikrunny'd Superphone using Magic (TapaTalk)

I've never quite thought of a ROM as being "comforting", but my goto is usually CM7 for now.

I like Liquid GB a lot. It isn't as flashy as some of the other Roms I've been running lately, but it's stable, quick, and seems to be very kind to my battery. I always leave a prepared backup of it on my phone in case I'm ever going to be travelling for a couple days. I load it up and all my worries will be abated until I get back home to flash the newest ICS Rom in it's place and deal with all the quirks.

The most comforting to me is Miui. I love when I get a call and the embarrassing hi res fullscreen pictures that I choose comes up of the particular contact.

DON'T FLASH! YOU WILL BRICK! Wait till someone releases a flashable zip.

yeah I believe that we don't even have a ICS kernel, so even if it did flash the rotation would be wonkey.

Please look at the general section of this forum. there is a large thread for this. Starskyrob is going to make cwm zip soon. Or someone else will.
REPEAT: DO NOT FLASH

In my experience, the lack of auto-rotation ends up being a much bigger hindrance than you'd expect. Web browsing, for example, a number of games... etc. I was shocked at how much I missed it.

Exactly.. mines always on, definitely a key feature, their phones might be similar but the same still stands, without proper sources we can't build OUR kernel, without OUR kernel, their version remains almost as useless as the i9100.
at least we go a ROM base for now though

is the incredible S ROM will working on Incredible 2?
im so sorry if i repost..

No. Do not flash kernels/roms/recoveries etc unless it is specifically designed for your unique device.

I'm sure It's a little more complicated than that, mainly kernel differences, but if he flashed one and it worked only in gsm, that change to the build.prop should revert it to cdma. Whether or not the inc s kernel supports cdma is still untested. Depending on the Rom, I'm sure we have a supporting kernel...

That particular Rom actually does support the inc2, according to the op. If your getting GSM only, then changing the build.prop line and a reboot should work. I'm downloading it now, I'll see what I can do...

Kernel developers

Why we don't have enough kernel devs like galaxy nexus or even evo 4g?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Beta-6

I don't believe that ICS kernel source has been released, so there is nothing to go by. GB kernels probably fell out of favor since most of us are probably on an ICS leak.

Ummmmmmmm Becuz those devs chose to go to those devices. and not this one.

One of those 4 may help when we get source but that's all I say because its not for sure and I don't want different teams bombing his inbox with PMs to give it to them first for personal glory. I asked for help for all of us. Hopefully it will happen.
As far as development for this phone...very touchy subject. We do have some great devs. I don't exactly know how many could build a ROM from the ground up. I think its the limitations of the code that's available. You can click on a Google page to get all of the source code for their phones. GNex got CM9, Euroskank, Miui, etc in a week. It doesn't mean their devs are necessarily better but the pieces are there for them to use
