[Q] CM 10.1 JB Epic 4G Touch Questions - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just downloaded El26 kernel and installed CM 10.1 onto my phone. I am now looking for the latest compatible kernel and modem with Cyanogenmod 10.1 for the Epic 4G Touch. I see JB TW kernels and modems but I do not understand if they are compatible with CM or do I have to use the latest ICS kernel and modem with CM for right now? Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

CM 10.1 comes with its own kernel. You should use that. There is no need to flash another kernel.
As for modems, any of the ICS modems should work fine. Lots of people like FI27. Or, If you're already on ICS, just keep that modem. There is no need to flash another modern in that case.
Hope that helps.

EL29, FF18, FH13, FI27, and FL24 have had pretty good or better results for most users: I'd try those first, then if none of those give you acceptable performance (which is unlikely), move on to the ICS leaked modems.

i would use the FE22 plus (Plus = unlocked recovery, initd, bootanim, usb-ms, adb-root)
located here
remember to use the EL26 cwm
There's a thread stickied right in the development section that has pretty much every kernel you need. Also the only kernel you should use on cm9 are the cm9 ones. The one listed above will cause the ROM not to boot past the samsung logo.
FE22 latest CM9 kernel here

LOL Last I checked there is no FH13 repack for CM10, FH13 is a TouchWiz kernel you cant just flash it with an AOSP rom.

also the fact that, and I do believe, that the kernel included with CM10 is based off of sbrissen's kernel, which is based off of the smdk4210 common kernel, or simply, the international sgs2 kernel, which would need certain proprietary files from the international sgs2 in order for the phone to boot.

right so i think kernal is doing great only thing is battery life is kinda deadly but overall rom is very smooth and i think this will be my daily driver.
i just wannna find the right modem so i dont have alot of LoS issues

How do you update to the latest build or baseband number?

New E4GT user here. I'm rooted and on EL29, what is the latest build or baseband number and how do you update to it?
I want to update to Jelly Bean, but I understanding that with this phone, you can't just flash any ROM you want, correct? It has to "match" your build or baseband number?

Latest "Official" OTA Thread by RWilco - No root and rooted links.
Latest stock Leak thread by RWilco Best stock leak imo..
As far as JB builds go, my only suggestion is to read each thread of the rom that interests you in it's entirety. Mixed reviews and different issues, different ways of flashing.. etc..
baseband = modem - mix and match to find the best performance for you and your phone. You can run a ICS generation modem on a GB build, and vice versa.
Check out the op in the Modem Repository by RWilco. How to flash and all the links provieded there.
Build and kernel match (usually) based on the rom. Just follow the Op's instructions on the rom thread. read for any issues etc.
Thanks for the great info!
So, when I flash a new ROM, does it comes with a matching kernel and baseband? I'm still a bit confusing about that.
Most or all Roms come with kernel, some, if you use Odin will include modem. I usually double check and flash the modem that I want via cwm...

Depending on the dev of the rom.
Yes, most include a kernel in a custom rom since it is the easiest way to keep what they build to an error free environment.
You may find a custom "rom only" but that is rare.
Stock roms (vendor leaked or "official" ) you will find complete sets in one clicks and tars. Then, usually, you will find it in separate pieces in the reference section. In Rwilcos posts, they are found in post 2.
With your goal of going to JB, you dont have to go to the latest stock.
You can go to a custom recovery, like el26 cwm or a safe Agat recovery, and try out a JB build. There are several good ones in the dev section.

The latest official i believe is fh13, ICS not JB. There is a leak fh23 and fi03. I am on fi03 stock with root...
Having said that there are JB Roms but I've heard that they look great but are not daily use candidates yet...

I'm on PA2.1 and its definitely daily driver worthy idk what JB roms you've seen that aren't. Everything I'm PA works like it should and its based off of sbrissens aosp and phantomphreaks cm10 vendor trees. Which would make both of those roms just as stable if not more so than PA, and aokp JB is based off the same vendor trees so it should be just as good.

Remember to just keep it simple, "New E4GT user here" you should sample some ics and see how that works for you and understand how to go back to your "original state"before you go into jb territory being that ics thought not perfect yet has more stability than jb at the present. Like Mo said read and reread before you take the plunge.

I've been using PhantonPfreek's CM10 ROM for a week now. While not perfect yet, it is a Daily Driver. Most of the major bugs have been handled. currently Bluetooth and headset volune is a problem. This ROM is very close to becoming an official CM rom according to Phantom. i came over from AOKP Mil6. This ROM is its equal. Of course JB features added icing to the cake. I'd say have at it. just make sure that you are on a safe kernal to flash from.

[Q] Flash AT&T AOKP JB ROM

I already did a search on this question and wasnt really sure if it was only for the MIUI rom or if it was okay to flash any rom and it would still work. I want to flash the AOKP JB rom for the AT&T galaxy 3 to my Tmobile galaxy 3, is it possible to flash this rom and have everything working to? Thanks in advance
I can't answer your question, but I have one of my own. What's wrong with the TMo AOKP builds?
Nothing. I'm actually using their latest one right now but I wanted to see what the difference is. Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, I just know how to do it. And I like to try out and use different things
I am running task and ktoonez aokp from att on my t mobile s3 right now. It's been running good so far. No problems. Everything working fine. Using the ktoonez kernel too that is in the post.

You can flash them fine but there shouldnt be any difference between them

Can I 1-click a previous repack?

So I installed an EL29 repack on my boss' phone and I was thinking about getting him up to date on GB08. Can I just 1-click over the top of what he has? Or do I need to unroot him first?

One clicks clear everything. It will do no harm to use that. Now if you were planning to flash a custom ROM in CWM, that would be different.
Are you flashing the entire ROM and modem? Jb kernels and modems will not work with ics or gb.
You'd have to read the threads associated with the builds to find that out though...
Seems like a lot of questions that have obvious answers from someone with your "experience"
Why not flash him to CM10?
