EL29-FE22

Hello everyone. It's been over a year since I rooted and flashed custom roms on my phone. So please excuse me for my question. So I rooted and installed Clockwork/TeamRogue with the help of ACS's youtube video. I see a lot of people on FE22, I am on EL29 and I am using The Blu Kuban's ICS rom. Is there is a difference having FE22 vs EL29?

Welcome back to flashing. First, a couple of things: As soon as you flashed the Blu Kuban your kernel was changed to the one that the ROM comes with. EL29 is the stock kernel that came with your phone (and is a Gingerbread kernel). I believe you are now using Calk's FD26 Repack kernel (an ICS kernel). Under 'About Phone' in your System settings it will tell you the kernel version you are using.
Unfortunately, EL29-FE22 are also numbers for modems. So you are probably still using the EL29 modem and the FD26 kernel. The Blu Kuban has an awesome ROM Updater in the System settings and contains all the different kernels and modems that you can use with the ROM. Just be sure to use safe flashing techniques as the E4GT is still very susceptible to being bricked.
And don't forget to follow the Blu Kuban development thread, there is a wealth of information in there.

Is it possible he's running the Blu Kuban GB ROM (hence the reference to EL29 unless he's talking modem) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449023 as opposed to the Blu Kuban ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535
The main difference between EL29 and FE22 is that one (EL29) is Gingerbread while the other (FE22) is ICS.
Read up big time before making the leap to avoid any nasty bricks.

thank you for your help

strange. I went to the development section and installed the ICS version and used the FD26. I will make sure to readup

Good idea and enjoy, it's a fantastic ROM.

So I decided to try Cyan 9 and followed the instruction including adding EL 26 as it says in the instructions but it still shows EL29. If I decide to go back to Blu Kuban can I just use rom updater and flash the FE22 modem?

som roms come with kernels some without but most roms dont come with modems they leave it up to the flasher to flash modem seperately. blue kuban makes it ez by making it all available within the rom updater options for reduced bricking risk.

All roms come with kernels. They wouldn't boot if they didn't. I think you meant to say custom recovery.

Flashing Ics roms

Hi guys I'm new to the epic touch and was wondering if it is safe to flash a Ff11 from an already installed ff11 rom and how or is it necessary to restore to gingerbread before flashing the new ff11 rom. Lastly, what is the most stable ICS ROM with everything working? I tried AOKP and it had messed up video recording and bad wake up lag. Thank You

Yes it should be safe but just do yourself a favor and only flash, back, restore, wipe, etc from el26 cwm kernel/recovery. Most stable ICS rom would probably be just a stock leak or maybe calks 1.6 rom. I personally use CM9 and its good.

Thanks I did just that. A question though, why do the rooms have wake up lag... Is there a way to fix this?

Personally I wouldn't take the chance with the emmc bug. It takes like2 minutes longer but I ALWAYS flash back to el26. Just not worth chancing a brick.

All ics roms are still leaks. Some devs have been working on tweaks but no source yet to work from. Soon we hope.

I flash from EL29 there is no difference in flashing from EL26 or EL29. I have been using team venom's roms and they work great and really could be an over the air with absoultly no bugs what so ever. I use my phone fro work all day long 5 days a week and havent had the first minutes trouble.

I have flashed Multiple ROMS, and if your looking for batter life, the any ROM from Mijjz of Team Venum is definitely what you want they are all stabil. I am currently using "Mijjz Blend ICS " No Name" ROM. the Xplod Mini rom runs on a sony based kernel and works well, so if you want a differnt interface its a great choice while still keeping the battery life. Blu Kuban Rom is great if you want a variety of optional tweaks built into the ROM. There is a new Team on here called Team Rejectz they just released a new ROM that looks great, I'll be flashing that this morning, and Give you guys an update on how that turns out. I always flash back to either EL29 or EL26 before flashing a new ICS Rom.

Same here I have been using cm9 as my daily driver for the passed couple weeks and it is rock solid stable! Love ICS I cant imagine going back to Gingerbread after the ICS experience. Its alot faster, way nicer and just overall smashes gingerbread. Lol Not like IOS5-IOS6 where ya get 1 or 2 new features.. Features that Android have had since froyo..lool!

Currently whats a CLEAN simple rooted flashable rom?

Seems all of Darkside's roms are "discontinued" and are no longer available. Whats everyone using nowadays? I just need something clean and extremely stable. the stock Tmobile rom is giving problems (for a friend's phone). Recommendations would be nice.

Jedi mind trick or Jedi knight gives a clean, stock feel, with a small twist, it has some S3 theming

I've used for some time. Its quite stable. You can, but ptmr3, and myself, recommend TWRP. No more scripts!
Sent from JMT Goodness

Honestly, Team Kang's Bullet ROM has the outright quality & stability vote, in my experience.
TWRP 2.2.2.0 recovery (flash this in CWM, then reboot recovery from the 'advanced' menu) has been my recovery of choice, stable++. I highly recommend it.

Check out the new BEAST rom from Rushing.. its super stable and amazing battery life.. i got 23 hours the other day with light-heavy use
its pretty much stock, rooted, ODEXED, but still very smooth

[Q] Kan kernels be flashed and keep all my data?

Yes I have searched, and yes I understand that my firmware version must match the kernel I'm trying to flash, but my question is unique, I have yet to find an answer.
Basically I want to flash a kernel that is kompatible with my current rooted stock ROM, so I kan keep all my data, but utilize some of the CPU tweaking governors and I/O kontrollers that other kernels use.
If the kernel says TouchWiz, does that make it kompatible with my stock ROM?
I don't need any new features or a kolor make over from flashing a new ROM, but I would like better battery life and maybe more kontrol over my CPU speed and voltage.
Also, is GB REALLY the way to go for battery life? How would I go about keeping all my kurrent data, but moving to a GB ROM or kernel?
Thank you for your tyme in this matter.

TouchWiz kernels, will work with with stock as far as i know. check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1284 for info on different types of kernels. Some of the installs allow you to keep data as well. And from what i hear GB is the way to go on this phone, best battery life and best overall user experience on this phone. Ive never ran GB on it, but have come across alot of threads where people are praising GB over ICS and JB for this phone.

If I'm kurrently on STOCK ROM, with AGAT recovery, is it possible to just flash over to a GB Kernel or ROM? and keep data? I'm really just looking for a solution to keep all my apps+data and have either a Kernel or ROM that improves battery life. (I enjoy klipping my Otter Box Defender and walking around with Pandora playing.)
I've also read about backing up apps with Titanium or a similar program, flashing to a new ROM, then restoring the apps+data, is that something that would work in this situation? Again, I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before, but I feel like my situation is unique in the sense of keeping my data, and not really needing the extra bells and whistles of a new ROM.

Just because a kernel says TouchWiz it does not mean it is compatible with any TouchWiz rom. The kernel should be one that is made for the specific Android version of the rom.
There are aosp Jelly Bean roms now that have battery life that is comparable to GB. Baked Blackbean by sniper, Magical Unicorn by ktempleton, and Wild For The Night by dastin 1015 are excellent roms. Also MotoBlur'd Jelly Bean by bilgerryan which is based on Wild For The Night is excellent.
I have tried the stock JB roms and always come back to the aosp roms. They are so much smoother.
Do not try do use a GB kernel on an ICS or JB rom.
I always use Titanium Backup to restore apps and app data after doing a clean rom installation. Do not restore system data with Titanium Backup, only app data.
Just follow the installation instructions for the rom you want to install and you shouldn't have any trouble.

Well, I'll look around at some JB AOSP ROMs but might try a GB rom to see the difference. Another quick question, will my Titanium App Backups work when moving from ICS to GB?

Yes. Except apps that don't support gb. Like chrome.
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G

KingUniverse the only way to safely keep data/app data between kernel flashes is when staying within the same type of kernel, ex.ics to ics JB to JB, when you go cross build like ics to JB or JB to Gb your data will make a mess of your phone. App data can be forgiving at times but sometimes it can create all kinds of issues.
Best example is the one clicks, they always caution about using "no data" (keeps your data) only if coming from same build type (Ics to Ics JB to JB) so you dont bork.

polished, bugless, professional JB rom?

Is there any consensus or do all JB ROMs have little annoyances?
I'm basically out in the dark and afraid to try flashing 10 roms because I might not get the steps right as far as flashing the right kernel in the right order to prevent the mmc bug from bricking my phone. I think if it were as simple as downloading a new rom and flashing it I wouldn't care but having to flash a different CWM version and a different kernel for every android version you're installing is too scary

You'll probably end up with a lot of negative posts about the way you asked and what you asked.
I'm saying this in the very politest way possible...
Look, nothing is "bugless". Just flash stock JB one click leaks and call it good.
It seems like you created the OP knowing that you would receive the negative responses so why not just go ahead and ask a Mod to close this for you.
This is why those that take XDA in what it is for, and do thier homework, and spend the energy and time to research what is available - you just smacked them in the face by saying "I'm not gonna.."
So thanks for being honest in the fact that you're admitting to being lazy but please don't insult everyone here and expect to be spoon fed the answer.
(And I'll go ahead and report myself for my response, since you probably won't have the energy to do so.)

It's quite simple, if most of the post are members crying for help then you can deduce that that rom or build is buggy
You move on to the next one, here you read about great reviews and lots of praise, you chime in and ask questions.

I'll throw you a bone, despite my better judgement. If you want jellybean, there are really only two ways to go: aosp or touchwiz. I'd start with dastin's cm10.1 or kobridge's deodexed gb27. Most other ROMs on this forum use one of those as a base.
READ both threads and decide which suits you better. Then once you are more comfortable, expand out and try some other ROMs.

I've flashed several other phones no problems but never had to worry about flashing certain kernels before doing a backup, or another kernel to change to a JB ROM, and then having to install a supported radio, during any of which I might need to do a data wipe, which will brick the phone.
As far as I can tell I need to have 3 safe kernels+ recoveries (for jb, ics, and gb) for use Any time I want to change ROMs and wipe data, and then a different radio for each kernel version?
Many of the threads don't explain this succinctly as I just put it, and many are out of date as well, hence some of my frustration.

The Emmc bug is not an issue as long as you read the OP of anything. Do you think we are that gullible? I'm not joking when i say that the only way to brick this device is to either not read, or to flash something that is for a different device. If you are worried about outdated stuff, something that we don't have now, then you shouldn't be worried about flashing anything and should focus on reading.

You need 3 kernels, 2 modems, and any number of ROMs you may want to run:
Roms include a kernel that will boot. You only need other kernels for flashing.
Kernels-
El26+cwm- the idiot proof recovery kernel. Can flash anything with it. Will not boot ICS or jb ROMs.
El29 directboot- easy recovery kernel. Can flash anything except modems. Also used for the el29 tempboot, which is an easy way to update profile/prl. Will not boot any ROMs, instead it goes directly to recovery without pressing any extra buttons.
GB08 stock-daily driver kernel for touchwiz jellybean. Does not include custom recovery and can't be used for any flashing. Must be used when flashing mods for jellybean touchwiz in order for the ROM to boot.
Modems-
FL24 - latest ICS modem. An ICS (or gingerbread) modem is required for 3g/4g data on aosp ROMs or touchwiz ICS/gingerbread
GB27 - latest jellybean modem. A jellybean modern is required for 3g/4g data on touchwiz jellybean ROMs.

There are 4 threads all linking to each other all saying similar but slightly different things. One says you MUST flash from a supported cwm when doing a zip flash. Another says mobileOdin will WARN you if mmc might happen (wtf does that mean?), another says mobileOdin can do it if the ROM can do it, another says if you're flashing from anything but el26 you WILL brick your phone, another says download this app it will tell you, but wait I rooted and installed a safe CWM + kernel before I ran the app test, but for some reason my kernel version number didn't change, so maybe the cwm kernel is different from the phone kernel so maybe I need 6 downloads ready- 3 cwms+ safe kernels, and then 3 kernels for daily driving in the ROM one for jb, ics, gb, but there are probably 4-5 to choose from for each so we're looking at 20 downloads easy.
As you can see its all quite a cluster and difficult to parse for new VM users late to the game who are just jumping in now.

Wow thanks dude.
Others-- This is what I'm talking about! This information is split across at least 3 or so 15+ page threads, which have only a handful of useful posts.
Maybe if I get some time ill try to make one noob thread to rule them all and track down the mods until they depricate the old ones.
tis all way out of hand really, and I've made it worse by creating this thread

You're making this way harder than it needs to be. All you need is the el26+cwm for recovery and a kernel matching your rom type gb/ics/jb if you flash a mod. That's it. Stop making everything harder than it is and exaggerating the number of downloads. Hell if your not a total idiot all you need is el26+cwm and the rom you can pull the boot image right from your rom zip and replace the one in a copy of the el26 zip and you got a flashable kernel for your rom. Good god I didn't know it was possible for someone to be so dense. Oh wait, wait, yes I did. I see it at least once a day around here but usually 5 or more times. :banghead:
