Quick question about flashing roms - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

If I want to test out a ROM, can I make a nandroid of my current setup, flash a new ROM, then restore my nandroid, and never shed a tear?

That depends on if your using a safe ICS kernel and whether or not your going GB to ICS or vice versa. As long as you use agat ICS kernel you should be safe.

I am currently using an sfhub rooted ICS with agats kernel. I am wanting to try out mijjah's jelly bean build.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Yes you can do that with Agat's kernel. I have been doing it frequently since yesterday. Back and forth dozens of times or more.

Thanks for helping me clear that up! Can't wait to see what this ROM has in store!

Rom Manager recovery safe?

I'm on FH13 rooted and wondering if clockwork recovery in rom manager app is safe from emmc... it seems like everyone is posting that clockwork has to be put on differently than just installing the app and using that recovery. Am I missing something? Or is it safe?

Dont use rom manager recovery.

So does that mean it is not safe? Or you don't like it?

Rom manager and this phone equals nasty things.

OK. Yeah I thought that it had, but just wondering if anything had been updated. Agat still the way to go?

Agat, Kuban kernel, etc.
My suggestion, until you research the others more (not being hateful) is to use el26 cwm recovery. There's a quick boot el26 but I don't have the link handy at the moment.
Please don't use Rom manager. I'm afraid if you do, we'll see a post about your shiny new paper weight.

Make a backup first. Always make a backup.
Ya I made a complete backup of my original rom even with bloat I find that sometimes original roms are the most stable

I searched but failed...

I'm looking for a 4.0.4 pre rooted stock ROM bloat in it is fine. I'd like to test something also its my hope to have CM 10 JB kangs, AOKP ICS (kang is already up) and the latest stock ROM with my usual stuff put in. (For people who want stability and wifi calling)
Can anyone link me? Thanks.

Would stock UVLH1 flashable zip work for you? Let me know and I'll put it on my Dropbox.

JB builds do not play nice with ICS modems. You need to flash a JB modem to resolve.
And for other folks, let's try not hitting noobs too hard on the head, okay?
That's one of the reasons this community has been liked as much as it is.

If you're asking if there is a zip that will deodex your current setup the answer is no.
If you would like to flash a full ROM that has already been deodexed, the link has been posted above.
There are quite a few great deodexed GB27 ROMs available in the Epic 4G Touch Android Development forum. I can't suggest any because I will not play favoritism toward any developer or their project. You need to decide for yourself what you want to run.
