Kernel Compatibility - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am running Blazer 4.1 with the Gunslinger kernel and FD19 modem.
It is my understanding the FC and FD kernels are only ICS compatible, is this true or am I missing something?
Like everyone else I want to be running the best combo and wanted to check before I do something stupid like flash an incompatible kernel. If anyone has any better suggestions for my setup let me hear them. Thanks!

Yes fc and fd kernels are only ics compatible. As for your setup, its good. That is the exact setup that I was going to be using when I go back to gingerbread today.

I like Gunslinger because I can undervolt it, I on the other hand have not used the stock Rogue so I do not have a comparison.

I will have to try it to compare the two and let you know which is better or worse

Are the new fd worth upgrading from fc22

So I'm asking for sort of a review of smoothness and speed of the new fd roms compared to fc18 or fc22. Thanks for your input?

Hold off until fd05, which has already been leaked but not leaked widespread yet.

Exactly why I said hold off. There hasn't been a noticeable improvement since the mid fc15 builds.

I had some problems with FD02 but it may have been applications. Some applications would freeze the phone or sometime just bringing up messages would lock the phone up. I would just have to wait for lock screen, then unlock and see what crashed. The older versions seem slightly more stable in my experience.
If you are working fine, stable with FC22 there's no reason to be flash crazy. Right now they all have their own issues that seem to be a bit different for everyone.
Wait until a Beta finally shows up, or you hear a lot of rave about a certain new leak and try then.. but right now not 'much' is changing from one leak to another.
huge difference the fd05 is the smoothest release yet
definitely flash
I normally don't upgrade til at least three builds newer are out if that makes sense. Unless there is a huge improvement. I am on FD02 and will most likely stay on it until FD10 is released, if it is released. If you are on a setup right now and its working for you. Hang tight. Cause as soon as you flash FD02/05 then FD10 will be out. Just my thoughts on it.
Are you guys talking about Modem or Kernel?
I have been running the FD10 Modem and Kernel on a FD02 build for the last few days and honestly it seems silky smooth for me. No scripts or undervolting at this point and so far I am getting good battery life out of it too.
I'm on calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.4. (FD02). The only bugs I've seen are that some apps aren't compatible, and the sound notification issue. It doesn't support boot animations and i wouldn't chance flashing any themes. It does support different launchers like go launcher so you can theme it that way. Other than that it is very smooth and solid with EVERYTHING else working including hotspot. Good battery life and no over heating. Came from blazer 4.1 which is awesome and very customizable but caused some battery issues. Although there is a stick FD10 posted in the Dev section, there aren't any custom Roms running on FD10. So I'm gonna stick with Calkulins fdo2 until i see something better. I have tried the goodness and its also good but only 4g hotspot. I need 3g so it was a no.go. Hope this was helpful and as far as SOLID ROMS GO Calkulins are the beast! Thanks calk for all you do. Always go with him first. Sent from my E4GTouch myself oh baby i love this phone
Latest is the greatest ......right? :what:

im on aokp with fd02 kernel and modem, best battery life i have ever seen on my device, also the smoothest ive seen, but its the only 4.0.4 i have ran. The fd02 modem doesnt seem all that great for me though, having more problems in low coverage areas than before. as in it didnt work where it used to kinda barely work.
FC24 modem + 4.1 blazer ROM = perfection.

I will second that. I was using fd05 with decent results but the battery life suffered. Atleast for me fc24 was great signal and great battery too.

Everyone has a different experience with the modems and the kernels too. You will have to experiment. Calkulin's GB 3.0 comes with a modified Rogue Gunslinger 1.4.1 kernel.
Located here are most of the Rogue stock and custom kernels:

Here are the custom rogue kernels that are missing, scroll down to -Archives-:

Most users prefer the custom kernels since they offer more support than the stock kernels.
Okay,let me experiment and get Back. Thanx

So...how many of you guys sticking onto EL29?

Just wondering if you guys are sticking to GB and why. I've tried FF18 and it's okay. CM9 is amazing but I don't think its solid like EL29 (IMO). But overall CM9 is solid. No flaming but I want to hear what you guys think.

Sucking on Call's EL29 for the battery life and lack of bugs.
None of the ICS builds last me a whole work day. GB gives me a consistent 18 - 36 hours depending on usage.

Back to the one truly perfect rom (Calk's EL29) for me, too. I've tried ICS in many flavors (Calk's, mijj's, Phantom's) and they all have various issues. Be it poor battery life, MMS not working, audio bugs, Pandora not playing, GPS not locking, whatever, ICS sucks on the E4GT. The only ICS ROM that I've had any success with was CM9, but I use AllShare almost daily so that isn't a go for me.

I'm on Calkulins El 29 myself I'm staying here until ICS is worked out, and the phone will work itself out eventually, trust the devs since the source kernel has been put out, slowly but surely we will see battery life improvements among the many other things!
Haha thats a trip ...yeah el29 is a solid build ...to be honest i like ginger bread...running calks 3.0

Went to cm9 and probably won't return to a stock ish Rom any time soon. Have had great results with latest nightly and kernel from source combo.

I dont get how you all are having issues with ICS Ive used ROMs from Venum, and other members of Team Venum. Using Dazed's Wicked Sensation 1.5 now. Great battery life, plenty fast for me. I did change the Kernel and modem to FF02 though. seems to work best for my phone. Ive used Blend, Blu Kuban, Anakonda, Boa, ICE, AOKP, CM9, Frankenstein's ego. Never had an issue with any of them. Well... except for not flashing AOKP right a couple times. Got it figured out fairly quickly Even running Placebo tweaks and havent had issues at all. One thing or another may not work on one ROM or another. but always found a work around for them. Im just learning all this stuff though. Havent really gotten in to the meat an potatos of it all yet. But Im learning.
Anyways... long answer just to say I Love ICS. Cant wait to try Jellybean.

I love ics but the horrible speeds I encounter with my bandwidth brought me back to gb. I tried everything to get descent speeds and ended up losing the battle. Even resorted going back to stock ota and bringing the phone to Sprint so they could look at it. GB is the place to be for me and my bandwidth. I just wish the forum would branch sub cats for ics and GB users so I don't have to scroll for 20 mins looking for old GB roms

ICS reminds me of Windows ME! It was just not a finished product, and with Jelly bean in the very near future, it's shaping up to be just like it. Ics needs that shot in the arm that it lacked for smoothness and other things. All i can say is BUTTER! ! !
On Calk 3.0. Considering a switch to CM9.

I like stock experience (EL29) but since kernel source (ICS) dropped I gave it another chance to my favorite REAL ROM CyanogenMod9 7/21 from chris41g with his source kernel 2.5 so far excellent. (All the issues I had disappeared with the source kernel)

That's why all the previous versions are posted there still. Overall, it's still highly debatable if it's working or not. Most say no, one or 2 folks claim it is.
I don't over clock, but I did try it and every cpu app said it wasn't, or it was dropping back. I prefer having a battery that lasts. :laugh:
Agat is awesome tho, I'm sure he'll get to the bottom of the issue and give us a 4.3 soon enough.
Yeah for me using voltage control I didn't have the steps available until I mobile odined the new kernel. I tried 1.3. It worked I just don't like over clocking.

The Kuban kernel

ICS Rom Decision

I know everyone in this community hates questions like this, so I apologize. I'm currently on Blazer's ICS rom and loving it, but was just wanting everyone else's input on what they like. I'm not asking which is the best, that isn't a thread like that, I just want to know what you guys are running.
I like Touchwiz based ROM's opposed to the AOSP style (Dunno why, I just appreciate the Samsung nonsense). I tried Blu Kuban but was having issues with it being sluggish, and I know it's not the ROM's fault, it was most likely the way I had the CPU settings tweaked, but I couldn't seem to get them right. I was also am not a huge fan of overly theme'd ROM's. I like the ICS blue in the status bar and things like that, but when EVERY app is theme'd, it gets old.
Anyways, what are you guys running? If you could post your Kernel as well, that would be much appreciated. :silly:

Does it run pretty smooth with that kernel? I'll try flashing that kernel on Blazer again tonight and see if I can configure it decently. I am on Agat's right now, and it's doing well. I need to do more research as to what all of the Governors do. There are a ton on that kernel, and a lot of them I have never heard of.

Aokp, cm9, aosp ics. Or cm10 or aosp jb. I prefer the stock android look without mfg skinned UIs. I'm on aokp m6 ics right now, have been on one version or another since TCP started porting it in march. I use blu kuban to flash to to do prl and profile updates every so often but never stay on twiz roms more than 10 mins. On m6 I use the stock kernel times included, but have tried some of chris41gs kernels, however they broke a few things cuz i flashed them over an already set up rom instead of flashing them after a clean install, and the m6 I'm on has the internal and external SD locations switched around which confused the kernel and broke my SD storage so i went back to the stock kernel on this build til i decide to switch to another rom and do a clean install and start over from scratch
