hey all,
I picked up a 2nd hand E4GT on Sprint from a buddy for my wife. figured AOSP might be a little much for her to tinker with so i put the stock rooted GB27 on it. Battery tanked on it so bought a new one. Now she gets anywhere from 12 to 16 hours on it, but she still gets frustrated with it doing wonky stuff like hanging, not waking, not sleeping, etc.
I'm not a noob by any means but every device is different. (i'm on an HTC Evo 4g lte myself) I'm just trying to figure out what ROM to jump her to that's a) not bloated with crap to make it slow and b) has great battery life. I guess i could take her back to AOSP if need be provided it's stable. She's not a tweaker at all. if something doesn't work for her i'll hear about it. close to stock but debloated with some tweaks and goodies would be perfect.
after all that, what's the best (easiest) way to get a good recovery on this thing from the stock ROM i loaded so i can switch to the aforementioned ROM?
i could sit here and read the forums until my eyes bugged out (and i do for my own device) but i just want to give her something she'll be happy with, so i defer to you all who've been around the block with the thing.
TIA
I'll shamelessly send you to my ROM, it seems to be the most popular right now-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320041- I'll let you be the judge, just read the features and see if it sounds right for her.

I suggest the gb27 rooted full restore ( wipes sdcard ) one click from rwilco12's repo....flash with Odin..After its up and settled in.You can flash a different kernel/recovery( they are tied together on this device )if you want. But I wouldn't think she would need it. Also..after its up. Just debloat to you're liking...I take everything out I don't use..down to widgets I don't use.
If that's not what you want to do...since you're rooted. Use mobile Odin to flash a custom ROM. If you'd like...I can link you to a guide I put together for mobile Odin.
As for what will be the best ROM...all ROMs run a little different on each device. You know that. So it will be a little back and forth until you find one that works for her. I really like project x...but im lucky, in the fact that all the touch wiz based ROMs run great for me. I can also run about any other cm/aosp/aokp ROM..but dirty unicorns. My device doesn't like it..and its an awesome ROM.
Let me know if you want the mobile Odin link or if you have any questions...
FYI...we have a Q&A thread for this forum...for these questions..Good Luck. And Welcome to the Epic 4G Touch Forum.

Thanks, can you shot me towards the mobile Odin info? I'm not familiar with it at all and you're right, she wouldn't need recovery except for me to nand back if she likes it worse afterwards.
Also, is there a safe to remove list someplace? I've had sammys before but never a tw device. Figure worst case i just go on a terror spree with root explorer uninstalling junk system apps lol

As for the bloat ware...I'll look around. But I usually just start freezing stuff and then run it for a few days...if all is well. I make a back up of the frozen apks and then delete them.
There is a de - bloated boost ROM ( you'd have to change the apns to get MMS working and flash a sprint modem...gb27 is the newest ) and there are some light gb27 ROMs that are debloated, for the most part...project x is one of them.
Let me know if you need any help...FYI..make sure you get the el 29 direct boot kernel...not the stock el 29 kernel...This will make sense once you read the mobile Odin guide and go to rwilco12's repo...all links are in the guide.

Hey guys, I really have this only thing that urks the living hell out of me.. I am having issues (like that's new lol) when downloading apps from the market, once they have downloaded they dont install, some do, some don't. I have checked this with other roms and this just happens on 2.2?
Is there a fix for this, does have to relate with the 1.40 PrL(pri)? I just can't understand it.. I have been running Cal's Rom's but on others I have seen the same effect... I just don't understand why this happens, is this a theme thing, Manup456? I am running his latest of everything... I doubt it! Like highly doubt it.. cause with or without this seems to do this.
Any insight would be amazing please, thanks..
Edit: Pardon for not placing this in the themes and apps section, I just think this more development than issues... Since this has only happened to many of us on 2.2 released or leak!
Thanks...

Sorry, I think this has to do with the entire 2.2 RUU... I have done this and it still does so on those.. as I stated, I didnt mean harm or confusion, but WE need to resolve this.
If I am correct, as the app downloads it settles in a cache until installation. Then an echo is used to start the installation. As it would to uninstall or start/stop an app. The issues lives when it goes to install.

it still belongs in QA even if you feel that.
what specific roms have you used, Are you restoring things via titanuim back up or is it doing it from a stock install with no restore as well?
I know a lot of people having issues is because they doa a titanium back up restore and dont remove the 2.1 settings from the restore causing issues when they restore on 2.2.
if you did do a titanium restore try doing a fresh flash then d/l and install ont he apps you ahd problems with if they are ok then its not the roms. if they still ahve issues then let us know (make sure you fully wipe.

This is from the market. The apps have issues with market installation. In reference to back ups I use My Backup Pro. I never use data backup unless I have to, so not that.
Thanks for all who jumped in to help.. I hope you all can see what I am trying to say.
Edit: I just went on to check 3 different roms... DC, Ava and Steels deodexed stock, seems like they're not having it as much.. but do..

Before you blame anyone's ROM for this problem, install the ROM and don't apply the theme. BY no means am I disrespecting the manup456 theme. However, manup456 theme replaces 3 very important files in your /system/framework/ (services.jar, framework-res.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk) as well and 29 apks in system/app/ dir (such as htcsettings.apk, mail.apk, mms.apk, Rosie.apk, vending.apk[which by the way is the Market!]. If the framework files of your ROM are different than manup456's source, or signed with different keys, then you could get all kinds of funkiness.
People have reported issues in my stock deodexed ROM, all of which have either been user error on their end(you should always wipe!) or resolved at this point. I have installed 42 apps onto RevE, no issues. Additionally, a user just installed a ****pile (20+) apps from the market onto my base ROM and had ZERO problems.
All those writing ROMs, and all those writing themes, put a great deal of time and effort into their projects to make them happen. When you start customizing anything, bugs are going to surface. When you mix parts from one software with another, even more so.

Good to know. I tell people to wipe data when they flash my ROM. Then they don't and wonder why things like this happen.
good thread to see
Hey, I flashed to stock 2.2 & netarchys kernel. I did a titanium backup , but forgot to backup 2 days later before reflashing, and had just a couple new apps (the onion news, among them) not backed up. When I went to market to reinstall the onion, ran into trouble. It showed it was downloading, in 2 queues even, in the market UI. But neither progressed to 'installing'. Looked through file explorer and Ti backup to look for any remnants of the onion floating around anywhere. To no avail. However, tried again today, installed just fine.
When you say 'wipe market data', you mean thru Settings->manage applications UI ? (Just in case I run into this again and it doesn't resolve) Thanks in advance.

I flashed your ROM this morning after a full wipe. The "Live TV" app won't install. Any suggestions? Everything else I've tried has installed fine.
What 'Live TV' app? If you mean the SrintTVWidget, that does work as well as the main SprintTV app itself.

Here's how to root your Epic 4G Touch:
Video Tutorial:
So, I finally got everything working today 3G/4G/Voice/Hauptic/Wifi, we have full root for the Epic 4G Touch!
Huge thanks to users ShabbyPenquin and Tanimn at ACS, I wouldn't have gotten this working without them.
*Note - This rooted kernel is still experimental, we are not responsible for anything that happens to your phone! You can always flash Bubby's stock kernel here after flashing Zedo Root to get back to stock with root or even bring your phone back to completely stock like day one. wootwoot
Here's how to root Epic 4G Touch:
This is for Windows ONLY, for Mac or Linux rooting, please see this thread!!!
Download rooting files here and unzip:
Download epic4gtouchrootv1.zip
Put your Epic 4G into download mode by holding down Power button and Volume down buttton, when you see an option screen, let go of both buttons then hit Volume up button.

You should now be in download mode, connect your USB cable from Epic 4G Touch to a Windows computer. (Sorry ODIN uses Windows only...)
Make sure you have Samsung Kies installed, it will install the proper drivers,
Download kies off samsung site here:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Open up odin3 v1.85.exe, click on "PDA", then select "SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar" and hit Start.
Your phone should reboot and voila, your phone should be rooted with SuperUser app.
Want to thank me?
Having issues with voice and data?
Most likely not from the kernel but you just need to do an MSL update, see video tutorial here. This one is for Evo 3D, u will need to use this method to read MSL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17703908&postcount=11
***Try out some ROMs***
The best two ROMs for Epic 4G Touch right now:
Starburst ROM for Epic 4G Touch by PhantamHacker - I highly recommend Starburst ROM, I have it on my Tab 10.1, it rocks, faster/better/stock/overclock.
MIDnight ROm for Epic 4G Touch by pftdmedic rocks!
And if u need Arabic support, see here.

NOTE: I will be posting full step-by-step instructions on how to compile your kernel and what I've learned, this is my first root! Still can't believe it. Coming soon at AndroidKernels.com so you don't have to decompile my code.

The first day of root STUFF*******************************************************************************
UPDATE 9/18/2011: 6PM PST, FULL ROOT ACHIEVED, WIFI/VOICE/3G/4G WORKING!!! Instructions coming soon, Zedomax Kernel is here!!! (My first ever kernel rooted, huge thanks to tanimn and ShabbyPenquin, I took some of their work and found a way to get wifi working.)
UPDATE 9/17/2011: Voice CDMA, capacitative buttons, usb, sdcard working now:
UPDATE 9/16/2011:
Working on it, worked on it all day long, if I can just figure out how to get Samsung open source kernel to actually work, we should have a fully rooted Epic Touch 4G soon...
Working on it, will update this thread when I have everything working in order.
And thanks to everyone tried to help me earlier with the config files.
UPDATE2: I just got a replacement from Sprint!
UPDATE1: I just HARD BRICKED MY PHONE, can't not get into ODIN, which I was using to flash kernels, damn it, didn't know that would happen, try again tomorrow after I get my replacement. I am just gonna tell Sprint my phone just started giving me blank boot-ups, that shoulda work. good thing i got the warranty.
Here's what I did: (and plz don't try this as you can really brick ur phone!!!)
I just tried flashing original Galaxy S2 Clockwork mod (which flashes but you lose 3g/4g/voice) then flash superuser/su with clockwork mod(which gives you root), and lastly you just need to flash a working Epic 4G Touch kernel (from a kernel compiled on Samsung Open source), but that kernel doesn't work and ends up in a boot loop. Looks like we have to find a way to get initramfs compiled with the kernel, trying to do that, any help appreciated.
The bricking part wasn't caused by what i did above i got so frustrated and used a PIT file for ODIN off an Epic 4g, (don't do that).
You won't brick your phone by doing what I did but not do flash PIT file off Epic 4G like I dido.
You are gonna lose 3g/4g/voice if you do what i did by flashing s2 original recovery/kernel, until someone can post a stock kernel of epic 4g touch that works correctly, the ones off samsung's open source site don't.

Looks good. I didn't see this when I went about making almost the same ROM, including Tara Tike's removals.
I think we both have the same problem with Asian and European ROMs that our accelerometer (and maybe something else too) doesn't work, which means we won't get to run CM7 or other fun ROMs without porting it to the TMOUS kernel.
What I'd like to do now is get Melethron's data2Whatever working, which would give us unlimited system storage (well up to 2GB). Even with 120mb free I still think there is a lot that could be gained with D2WE.
Other than that, I'd really like to figure out how to port the CM7 version to our state-side phones.
Anyway, let me know if you're interested.
Thanks for your insight. I'm interested but I'm actually not good at programming. If anything I can do to help I can try or test for you but as far as porting kernels I have no idea.

I got a couple of questions for you humble1, did you downgrade to any official rom(Asian or European) after s-off and is your phone still simlocked?
It's easy to remove HTC Sense, could you make a rom that comes from SDK? Which is based on google and without twice development....

Someone is already doing that.. its called Cyanogen mod.... it being done right now by Alquez
Looks great! I'm scrapping my ROM and trying this. Looks like exactly what I was trying to do. Nice work.
@Tyrone1 did you lock the old market app or is this likely to update to the new market? I hate the new market app.
Also, I found this with my ROM as well. Something we removed was the HTC Quick Lookup, which is what the search button is mapped to at the home screen. I've tried Zeem and ADW and it doesn't work. I know the button is working because in applications with mapped search button (ie. Market, browser) it works fine. Also at the home screen a long press will activate Voice search just fine. I don't know if we need to replace the HTC apk or find a way to map google search to the search button.

I haven't tried a completely stock rom for Asia or Europe, but I can use custom roms for TMOUS without problems (1.62-based) and all 1.33 based roms give me problems with accelerometer (and maybe things I haven't found yet).
I'm S-Off and no simlock (I have an AT&T SIM that I use for testing, even though it's not activated).

If you know how to use the SDK distro and combine it with a working kernel, go for it. I don't, but if you (or someone else) tell me how, I'll do it. Actually I'd rather port alquez's CM7 because CM is better than HTC or stock Google distro.
never flashed any ROMS except my own ROMS also flashed some of goapk.com and xda.cn ROMS, it's where I learn a lot also XDA I visit everyday. My phone needs to rest including me. When I have energy including my phone I will flash this ROM including alquez CM7 and other rom made for wildfire s.
It works fine for my needs and I will wait until alquez's Cyanogenmod is ported and working for Tmobile USA users.
Anyone who wants to use or modify this ROM feel free to do so!! Thanks all who have helped wildfire S users... jinkataru, alquez, thehumble1, tera tike and all others... thanks
wow from 2 to 3 in a day. Nice.
Search button isn't working and when I try to change the Ringtone or Notification tone Settings.apk FCs.
I'm on 2.0 though. Didn't see change log to show that 3.0 had these fixed.

LOL i just arbitrarily assign those numbers.. i could've gone to 10.0 just to make it sound like the ROM is highly developed
u should be able to change ringtone and notification with the last version of the rom. However not sure about the search button.. i never really used it before and dont really plan to use it either...
OH yeah PS i came from HD2 hyperdroid prior to this phone too LOL
It's quite amazing how easy this is compared to using a phone that was built for Windows 6.5

Updated to 4.0!!!!! Enjoy!
I see that you are no good at laying off the rom development. Nice work. Now I just have to backup and install the new one.
Also, the search button still doesn't work from the home screen. To fix this put GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in the system/app directory, change permissions to match the other apps (rwx r-x r-x I think) and reboot.
the apk has to be the newer one. I messed with this for ages till I realized that I didn't have the right, working apk.

My S3 is totally stock 4.3 but rooted. Lately I'm having two problems that are bugging the hell out of me. 1) BTLE is really erratic. I track my workouts using a BTLE heart rate monitor and it is constantly dropping out. It's not the app I'm using because I have the same problem with three different workout apps. 2) Sometimes text messages are super laggy and frequently are sent/received in multiples.
I'm hoping that upgrading to 4.4 will solve these problem. Or, if there are other things I can do to fix these issues, I'm open to trying them.
I've had the OTA "system update downloaded" notification for months and I've just ignored it. I know that in the past if you were rooted you couldn't just install the OTA update in the usual way. So I'm wondering if I can accept the OTA update or if I have to go through some other process to install stock 4.4. If so, what would that be?
Also, are there any major known issues with 4.4 that I should be aware of?
TIA for any help. I've searched but couldn't find any directly helpful threads. I feel like this was probably a hot topic back when Kit Kat first came out but that was a long time ago so the threads are buried.

No, DO NOT TAKE THE OTA. It won't work anyways and there have been a few reports of bricks. You have to use ODIN. In my opinion 4.4 is WAY better than the mess that 4.3 was.

OK, so I just need a stock 4.4 file and I can ODIN? Can someone please point me to where I can download it? I prefer to stay fully stock because in my experience every modded and/or custom ROM breaks some function. As long as I'm rooted I can do what I need to do.
Will I lose my apps/data by flashing 4.4 or will I end up with a clean install? And will I still be rooted?
Thank you.

Well maybe you haven't tried the right ROMs yet.
Yes you will lose all data and apps and it will wipe your internal SD
No, you won't be rooted anymore.

Thanks for the info and the link.
Two last questions. Any bootloader/Knox related issues that make rooting 4.4 problematic? And if I back up with Titanium, can I restore into 4.4? I know that Kit Kat radically changes the way data is stored so I wonder if restoring from 4.3 to 4.4 breaks things. I actually have a 32GB S3 and don't use a memory card so everything is stored internally but I still wonder if there would be issues.
I don't know about not trying the "right ROM" yet. I don't think I've ever seen a custom/modded ROM that didn't have a list of things that either didn't work, or didn't work right, or some kind of caveat. It's the camera, or it's bluetooth, or it's visual voicemail or it's always something that doesn't work quite right. If there is a custom ROM out there that doesn't break ANY feature I'd be open to trying it. But I bet it has a thread full of people who are trying to work around a number of issues. If you know of a bulletproof rom for this phone I'll check it out, I would be happy to be proven wrong.

What does it do?
It is a friggin amazing all-in-one package... It is a tweaked kernel, super-tweaked ui, installs BusyBox AND Gappas as well... It is an AOSP with a working sys-updater(OTA). I have paired the previous with a Hulk Overlock Kernel, and it was happily accepted... So on top of all the developer tweaks, I was overclocked to 2.1ghz..... I also slap on Seeder or another entropy tweaker and a swap file creater, and my friend.... You have the most fluid ROM since stock TW...

Wow you made my day, I spend alot of my time working on my ROMs my policy is this:
I ensure the best ROMs for any device , I believe performance is more important and business comes second, I ensure everyone's devices have a experience they never seen before, I make sure everyone can enjoy my ROMs equally and as well ensure to beat any ROM out their to be the top os since CyanogrnMod since started, not just to be better, but to have fun and the fastest ROMs possible
This is my policy I stick to but I thank you for the compliment it makes my day even better
Well.... I believe, somehow, I had a mixed up build and baseband...
GRU2 used to work fine. Then somehow i guess something switched the baseband and my modem and LTE would not work. This was confirmed using "Phone Info" from the app store. THEN I got my wifi working but no LTE.... UGH! This was 2 am... That was where it all went south....
Boot loader was NH7 and the others nk2. So I spent literally all night trying to recover from that... Use PIT files and manually reconstruct. And yes.... I tried KIES... NOPE... Tried creating a flashable zip, using Tar2FlashableZip, tried using raw TAR files. Tried the MD5's... No Bueno.. I kept getting an ABOOT error on my samsung download screen.... Great.... Time to rebuild the partitions individually.....
All in all... As of right now, I am on Rooted Stock NK2 and am imaging that as we speak.. I don't want to flash another custom and loose another night of sleep.. So I will flash this tomorrow.

That is what I ended up doing... Went to Sammobile and grabbed the NK2 updated firmware and odin'd it with the md5... This was only after rebuilding the sdcard and other partitions... I will try that tomorrow... I need a tad bit of sleep....Then again, I am probably lying and will stay up another night.... AHAHAHAH I am a flashaholic again... Your ROM cured me of it...

CONFIRMED WORKING on NK2/NK2 firmware. And I mean THIS rom.... OMG BRO!!!! THIS IS THE TITS!!!!! Easily my most FAVORITE CM based rom!!!!! This is the ONLY rom that will do for your UGR2_TW rom's place. I flashed the zip with ease... Then I didn't reboot and immediately flashed my own kernel..... Boot is straight LIGHTNING FAST!!! And that is no exaggeration at all my friends. It did it's App Optimize faster than some of these other roms take to boot up... Again... No exaggeration..... I cannot wait to play with overcklocking on this bad-boy. In the short time GR7 has been on my phone, I have not had a single force close... I think I am going to ALWAYS last stock, CFAuto_Root, Philz, install new custom rom, install kernel. Yes it takes about and hour more... But to have a device as stable and fluid as this is now..... It is more than worth it... And you know you will never have and permission issues or R/W issues. No Force closes either... Think about it... You, in essence, start with a brand new device each time... Virgin!
I wonder if an auto-Stock-Root-Recovery-Rom-Cache-Boot script... I wonder if python can handle that... That would be worth Gold!
Anyways... I have diarrhea of the keys... so I need to pull back...
Recommend this rom? Your device has not lived until you flash this.
Seriously... Comming rom a flash-a-holic(also have a usb thumb drive that has BOTH usb plugs... For the PC and for the Phone... 16gb is full... hahahaha.... I can finally empty it for use elsewhere.
GOOD JOB BRO!

The pros witch are good are:
*Faster processing speeds
* Less Lags
* Faster boot times and more
The cons witch can be bad or not a big problem are:
Battery life is shortend witch it drains faster then normal
* Can cause Cpu heat temps to rise causing the phone to heat up but wont break or dsmage the cpu unless changing the thermal voltages settings through a third party app
* the opreating system can slow doen due to the stress of many apps being running at the sametime on the cpu/gpu
The cons are not that bad but you can safely tweak the cpu to get rid if some of the heat issue try Kernel Auditor its in the play store
