Hey, just wanted to say hi to my new classmates. Just traded my Photon4G for an Epictouch. I would also like to ask yall to help me out with getting all the goodies on my phone. I am naive with sammy(ODIN). Ive only own HTC(RUU) and Motorola(SBF). If you have the time to link me to root,CWM and the best Rom in your opinion I'll return the favor by hitting the thank button. No need to be a jerk and ask me read. Thanks.

Welcome. Good place to start would be in the development forum. If you have questions, ask them in the Q&A forum. Glad to have you on board.

Look for the EL29 restore thread. After the restore instructions are instructions and a link for the EL29 kernel repacked with CWM. Sorry xda app is fc'ng when I try to copy the link. Stay away from ROM manager and CWM touch recovery. If you're going to flash cm9 make sure you flash cm7 from Rootzwiki first to get the original CWM recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Also, if coming back from ICS to GB use sfhub's EL29 restore method. It's the safest way to revert and you can restore a GB nandroid once you reinstall the repacked EL29 kernel.

Be very careful when you come back from ICS to a non ICS rom. Many bricks have occurred! Read the instructions good.
Good choice on ditching the photon and coming to the good side!

If you are just starting out I highly recommend that you follow qbking77's work he will help you with his video tutorials. I owe that man my life lol.
Just got mine today -- had my NS4G stolen last week and had the option to switch, so I did.
I just need to get away from Touchwiz. As far away from Touchwiz as possible. May throw AOKP on as I'm familiar (used it on NS4G and also on GT10.1).
Any other suggestions?

Uh.. I think there's a way, but that sounds complicated, and a difficult find for sure. Perhaps just look for a stock 4.0.4 verizon rom + radios + recovery and then relock bootloader via fastboot. Because there is no way you're locking your bootloader without fastboot... so you need to use it anyway, so just use the original method I linked.
Did you check make a nandroid backup?

Could one of you awesome developers out there just make a cwm version of the stock ICS image.. basically a .zip file that overites custom recovery with stock and takes you back to stock.... this would make life so easy!!!!

But then you won't be stock... you'll be on a stock ROM but still custom recovery etc.
Just use the method Efrant posted and you'll be 100% stock. Its extremely easy, and you can be sure that nothing will go wrong because you'll be doing it manually yourself. Stop asking people to do things for you and just make it happen.

Also... the stock image I downloaded from Google(imm76k) is a .tgz file... I thought it had to be a .IMG file??? And when I extracted it to desktop it gave me a .tar file... would the .tar file be the one I would use to flash via Odin back to stock??? And why do we not have a stickie to get back to stock, via Odin, via fast boot flash??? Lol. This thread is kinda haywire in my opinion compared to threads for other devices.

That's not what he wants though. He doesn't care about the procedure; he just wants a CWM-flashable zip packaged up to do it for him. If someone else doesn't make one, I will when I eventually get some free time.

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone should be doing any flashing or tinkering without being able to understand fastboot/adb basics. That may be what he wants, but the Droid-Life guide is what's best for him

Hey guys, I'm super newbie to all this. I rooted my phone with an optimized ics rom about a month ago. It was a T-Mobile from however. It made my better life awesome. But it was still touch wiz etc. Then jb came out right after.
Is there a dev who is making a jb from for telus that is optimized for battery life and no touchwiz?
Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks a million.

You have two choices flash with CWM or odin. Mostly all the roms in here are setup to be flashed with clockwork. Please read the stickies in development and wickys to get yourself better acquainted with your phone and flashing...... Questions to the masses may bring up more opinions than fact.

CM is a customized AOSP. so yes, more or less AOSP.
It's a preview, so it's going to have issues. whether or not it's a bad idea depends on your expectations. all you can do is give it a try.
I just installed it this afternoon. Love it! Haven't had much time to play around with it and figure out what doesn't work, but from what I can tell all of the daily functions of the ROM work. Again, it's still an alpha, so it's up to you to decide if it works well enough
Read the op of the thread. I'm not normally I guy who makes a comment like this. But he mentions the bugs right in the first or second post.

Im rooted on stock, I bought ROM Toolbox Pro but cant use any of the features because im on kernel 3.0.8-925100. The main features I'm trying to use are change wifi logo, battery icon and a few other tweaks ROM Toolbox offers. I want to stay stock as possible because I really like the stock rom so I guess my real question is can I flash a new kernel and stay stock and if so whats a good one that will let me use all ROM Toolbox features?

I ended up flashing back to what you see in the picture to get my wifi back and now I just don't know how to go back to stock if I decide to.

Im assuming you made a backup before flashing the kernal if so just flash that and you will be back to square one. If not the head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 and you shoulx find everything you neex to get you back to stock.
