FF18 Source Released and Other Noob Questions - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

The ICS FF18 source has been released for the Epic 4G Touch!
Go to http://opensource.samsung.com/index.jsp and search SPH-D710. It is available for download without signing up from there. Will try to upload a mirror by end-of-day today.

lol We ended up with something like 5 jelly bean threads yesterday so I'd imagine we're going to have to match that with source threads today.

Oh, was that already common knowledge? I just read about it today.

Yes it was just released this morning but there's already another thread stating source was released in the title and mentions of source being released in numerous other threads lol it's okay, people are excited and want to get the word out.

Alrighty then. For the sake of me not looking like an even bigger idiot, can a mod just close this thread?

Pffttt you don't look like an idiot, just go with it and have fun

Okay then. I might as well get these questions out of the way then (because I know I'll be asking at some point somewhere else):
1. Does the FF18 kernel fix the SD issues seen in previous ICS builds?
(Or is this even a problem anymore?)
2. Also with this source, will there be a way to permanently install CWM to the device's recovery?
(This might have always been possible, I just don't know how to get it to stick. It seemed so much easier with my old Nexus S 4G and my Xoom)

[Q] Samsung Stock Gingerbread??

I was wondering if anyone had heard something official (or not) about whether or not Samsung is going to eventually give us Epic 4G users Gingerbread (Android 3.0) or not???
They did eventually give us Froyo, but I'm hoping they're not like HTC and will just drop us like a rock in lieu of newer phones.
~Z
Couple of things here... the fact that you put a [Q] in front of your title should tell you it goes in Q&A not development... also Gingerbread is not 3.0... and there are probably 10 post or more about this. The answer is yes, we are thinking June 20th, not confirmed. There are some leaked versions. Next time search and post in the correct section.

Cyanogen Mod (rom) - same as the other GSII's?

So I've done the whole search thing, and XDA now offers a cool display of related threads when I start a new one...but I haven't found something related to Cyanogen Mod 7.1 for our variant of the GSII.
I hesitate to flash cyanogen because 1. it's not stable anymore (according to their forums), and 2. our model of the GSII is arguably not like any of the other GSII's because we have a different chipset.
Had anyone tried to flash cyanogen mod onto this phone or does someone know that it works?
Thanks in advanced!
10-22-2011 EDIT: So people don't need to sort through the clutter, the answer is no there isn't CM7.1 for the T-Mobile variant of the GSII and no one should attempt to flash the one from cyanogenmod's website for the GSII.
Thanks for answering my questions!
Cyanogen mod roms are built specifically for each device. Don't ever try to flash a build from another device. Even the ATT and International galaxy s2 have differently builds even though they're pretty much the same phone

I believe CM isn't even available for our phone yet. Only for the other SGS2 models.

DO NOT attempt to flash roms that were not specifically made for our devices! The ONLY roms that are safe for the TMO GS2 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1332
Thanks for the information. I thought that would be the case.

None of the unlock solutions from the market work on our devices. If you are a T-Mobile customer, you can call in and request the unlock code, otherwise you can get it by faxing in your sales receipt.

My statement was in reference to the GSII only. Users reported too many bugs...but again that's not for our GSII.
If you check their forum there is no more "stable mod" link to 7.1 for the GSII.
The mytouch4g should be fine.

I apologize to you if my question was naive. At least I didn't go posting in the developer forums.
The development seemed active enough for this device that I was considering there was a chance of availability. I'm also not rushing or demanding anything from the developers/developer community. I also give thanks and donate to them.
Other's have graciously answered my question, and to them I say THANKS.

ICS General Discussion Thread.

I've Made this thread in par with the [Dev-only] ICS development only thread so that all questions,comments and or even THANKYOUS can be posted here. Please do try and keep this thread alive without any idiocy (spam). DO NOT post in the Dev thread u less u have actual development. It doesn't matter how argue-mental the post become as long as it still always is related to ICS. As long as everyone just stops making new threads about ICS.
You may spam ur ICS needs here. Enjoy.
I will update this op with any Information regarding our phone and ICS whenever it comes available.
Steady Hawkin said:
Alright guys, I should not even be saying anything but Im going to anyway. I know many of you are tired of waiting for ICS and feel like we are the odd man out while everyone else gets a taste of the glory. This is in fact not the case! I'm not going to name names, or comment on anything else, but I will say that development is VERY much alive for this phone. Its also allot closer than any of you think. Trust me, there is a very tallented group of people who are close to making this dream a reality.
Me making a comment in this thread does infact violate what this thread was intented to do and for that I'm sorry. My intention is just to inform you that we too shall taste sweet victory soon. My only request is that we move non-development related questions and comments to the Q&A or general subforum so we can keep this thread clean for future use. I look forward to basking in the sweet taste of a delicious sandwich with all of you very soon

As for you. Read my comment above Mr.negative. If ur running Cm7 or MIUI then u literally just hypocritically commented on yourself. (in a far fetched way) =P
Also there are plenty of good ROMs in the dev thread.

I don't necessarily understand it. I've used ics and it's pretty good, but the roms we currently have in the dev section are really awesome. Yeah, ics has some great tweaks that I look forward to coming to this device, but I'm pretty content and happy with the current roms and development we have. Thanks to all the devs!
I'm sure ICS will be here. No need to show negativity. Just have patience
Im sure they dont want to give us something half done. Wait till they have a stable build then they will drop it.
My guess now that chris41g will drop ics hes been aful quiet

I'm pretty sure they will release a ICS update for it. The community will more than likely release one first though.
Samsung will have one, but it will have TouchWiz. But a lot of us want either pure ICS or a CM9 build, ya know?

No, there are already ICS leaks (check development forum), and you have already been presented with the entirety of the knowledge of FC02. It's just a blank mock up page, so we know nothing about it. Well, nothing except the fact that the webmaster thinks there will be an FC02.

You won't find one for this phone right now. And if you do happen to find a release date it's going to be for the International version of the phone only since they will get the update before us. Like I said be patient if you chose not to be and flash something that's not for this phone welcome to brick city. It pays to wait it out just be happy that it's being worked on and it will get here sooner then most people think.

i LOVE reading page source and URL fiddling (on all sorts of websites), you can find lots of fun stuff if you know how to read it.
(example, and I know this is totally OT: one of my favorite artists, Jose Parla, makes it terribly hard to find "better resolution" versions of his images online, and I have been wanting them for ages. (If you are into graffiti at all, check him out!)
If you go to his site, heavy Flash embeds, slow as **** to load, and the images are tough to get at. www.joseparla.com
but with a little source viewing, a little URL fiddling, was able to find this: www.joseparla.com/parlaweb/node/111
now I have all of my fave paintings as a rotating desktop theme. wheee!)
Sorry, back OT we go....

I would say how does this relate to our device but I know it wouldnt change a thing.
Just general information. It tells us that our device is current not being worked on so don't expect anything.
There's some devices on that list that im sure only like 25 people are using..why is ours left out?? what gives!
Im sure its all because they don't have the drivers for ICS for our device, but why not CM7?

It has been stated by CM himself that they will skip CM 7 and directly work on CM 9 for T989.
