One clicks avail for FI22 On SXTP Developers. Link in Sig.

Thanks for the links guys. I guess I'm just reserved because I read that after root ppl have been getting drastically reduced 4g speeds with custom kernels. To confirm, I can gain root the flash back to stock kernel and all will be well?

Sorry for the short post - was posting on the go. The FI22 one clicks on SXTP Developers are pure stock with only root added... including the kernel. Hope that clears it up.

Please be patient while root is being worked on by myself.
The mount points need to be adapted from the process I have in mind and it might take a while.
In the mean time, I would encourage everybody to join the freenode irc we have going and join the cause.

Checklist.
[] Obtain root with a certain method on a stock Epic Touch.
[] Pull stock zImage.
[] Pull initramfs.
[] Build kernel with root.
Good luck ....bubby!!

As a former Epic 4G user, I hope you are correct. Our dev section was and is a bit of a wasteland. We had very few ROM updates from Sprint and were it not for Samfirmware, we still would not have Gingerbread.

Same here. I can only imagine how much good stuff we will have to flash in a few months. I think this phone will stay relevant for a long time. I mean, what can't we do on this beast?

Hello!
I've installed the Rogue Kernel v1.1.3
"Outlaw"
How can I uninstall this kernel and install the Stock Kernel back? Please, give me a link on the stock kernel only?
I really need it. After I flashed this kernel I started to have some very strange errors.
Thank you!

Does any recovery do both souce based roms though and how can a recovery increase or decrease battery life?

Do some research tw and cm stuff are a little different on this phone. We do have some one clicks to get you started. Go look in development or search qbking77 on YouTube for some videos.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The safest seems to be direct cwm. But I've used several Agat recoveries and love the tweaks especially battery life. But keep in mind Agats recoveries are for TW Roms. For AOSP and AOKP I use direct cwm.

Look up qbking77 on YouTube he has plenty of videos to walk you through the process on the e4gt

The link at the bottom of this post has great starter information. Start by reading the op. Then read the threads of the developers to know what kernel does what..
The reason I'm am linking it is that you can get to each developers thread or site and this is a very comprehensive list.
Do not go flashing without reading!
My advice to you is to read ALL the stickies in each sub forum for this phone.

Since recoveries are baked into the kernel it really depends on what kernel you use.
TW ROMs are easily solved by flashing Agat's kernel/recovery repack.
You'll be able to flash to a CM rom but I honestly don't know enough about other kernel/recovery options out there for non-TW ROMS to make a recommendation for you on once you get to CM9/10.
Hope that clears it up a little.
Removed my post. Didn't see Garwynn's response.
:edit: I do have to say, that once you flash a CM build, find out what recovery you are on, then do some research on that recovery before flashing from it. Saw a few post about recent recoveries in CM builds that aren't safe or have possible issues.
How, if it is possible can you get it on the US versions of the s3 running rooted stock? Is there like a installable zip or something? Thanks

I'm not sure if there's a way to get it on rooted stock. But I do know the synergy rom with multi window is incredible. My phone has been stable and smooth running for awhile, had a little issue but smoothed it out pretty easily.

Not going to happen buddy, sorry. Unless you can port it yourself, it's just to much to try and get working on 4.1.1

Doesn't work like that you'll have to go the custom rom root (see what I did there?)
