Battery feedback Fi03 stock rooted, most of the bloat ware removed. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Actually it removes more than 40 un needed apks which are a memory hog. To remove sprint crap use titanium backup root Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

guyz once you flash anything , then do post your reviews about that your replies are the only things that keep me going and make me take out time to devote on this.

HOW TO GET A SAFE CWM RECOVERY ON YOUR ROOTED FI03 ROM + HOW TO REMOVE BLOATWARE FROM ANY GB OR ICS ROM Ok i am back with a major thing now. This all concerns only FI03 rooted users who dont have any recovery installed as yet. I did my own testing ( yeah call my white Epic a guineapig for the community ) ok in here i will be outlining how people on FI03 Rooted can 1.. flash a safe RECOVERY + kernel combo 2.. Flash a special script from the awesome ( retired ) Developer Calkulin, which will remove all the un needed bloatware and apks from your ROM , which will free up a hell amount of memory + cpu usage and hence possibly battery consumption as well. files 1.. Stock FI03 Kernel + agat recovery http://www.mediafire...3g4ffz6i65hivc3 MD5 : 402418D90229560F445D4E59CEC560CA 2.. Mobile odin apk - which will be used to flash the above recovery http://www.mediafire...abre24uub8cvmo0 MD5 : 2271130077D55C69AC3367CFAD4F5E9E 3... Calkulin's Bare ROM Converter v2.1 [ Works on any GB & ICS ROM ] - a script which once flashed via CWM will remove the un necessary crap from any GB or ICS rom ( cool na ? ) http://www.mediafire...cowav2cr5hna0z7 MD5 : 152936DFA815F2B226808AFB81794CB3 always chk the integrity of the downloaded file before flashing , by matching the MD5 Installation and steps of usage. 1... download file 1 and store in your phone memory or SD card 2.. download and install file 2 aka MOBILE ODIN 3.. download and store file 3 aka BARE ROM CONVERTER to your phone's internal or external memory. PART 1 4..1) Open Mobile Odin. 2) Select "Open File". 3) Select either "Internal SD-card" or "External SD-card" (depending on where you saved the TAR file you downloaded in step one). 4) Browse to the TAR file. 5) Select "Flash firmware". 6) Select "Continue". 7) Select "Check" to verify the MD5 signature. The phone will now automatically reboot. This will take slightly longer than usual, this is normal. once booted there will be a screen showing updation of xxx apps and stuff and once all is finished you will be on a FI03 stock kernel but with a very very safe CWM recovery , thru which one can easily flash stuff without the fear of bricking. you can boot into the recovery by switching off the phone and then pressing Vol Up + POWER button simultaneously till samsung galaxy logo appears PART 2 a.. Boot into recovery b.. make a nandroid backup by goi8ng to backup and restore and then backup > and now move on This elaborates about how you can uninstall and remove the bloatware from your STOCK ROOTED FI03 or any other GB and ICS ROM for the E4GT 1... download FILE 3 above if you havent already and store in the root of the storage of your phone 2.. Shutdown the phone 3.. PRESS and HOLD vol up + power button together till samsung galaxy SII logo flashes ,,leave the buttons now you will boot into AGAT recovery , which is green in color 4.. simply use the option to install zip file and scroll to where you have stored the file that you downloaded called BARE ROM CONVERTER and flash it ( use up and down vol buttons to scroll up and down + use power button to select an option ) 5.. it will take just 2 or 3 seconds max lol 6.. go to reboot menu option and press power button > select reboot system and press power button 7.. you will be rebooted 8.. the phone will show android is updating screen > once finished you are on a ROMJ from which all the bloatware and un needed crap has been removed.

anymore suggestion matez !!! @ AAlok : the best ever CDMA flip i have come across is Blackberry Style its awesome , too awesome http://www.gsmarena.com/blackberry_style_9670-3326.php

@ n_iceman : hppy to hera that it booted up fine . S2 is pretty hard for people like me who were used to flash anything with their eyes closed on the fascinate Btw i have installed a CWM recovery as well on this along with stock kernel ( pretty rare ), the one that is considered one of very few thru which you can flash new ROMs and wipe data ( without the fear of bricking ) will give it a go by flashing some newer ROMS and if i am satisfied with everything then i am gonna share the method here. Btw Still would like all you SII owners to comment about the display quality as well as the camera qulaity in more detail.

That's been the issue with the ICS on epic touch. But brlieve e fi03 is too good. Guys post your views about it so that ankit can make up his mind. GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.

Great phone but girly, isn't it GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.

woho , thats Evil looking show us which apps are consuming how much of your battery ANKIT and Flash FI03 , you will thank me use the data restore option and you will be as good as new

Thats great , I always feel outta sorts when its Reliance official i500 , as i dont own one , i just cant predict beyond a level how certain things arent working and how to get em to work. I am still active on my fassy , the number will be transferred to my E4Gt tomorrow so after that i might not get as active as i have been but will be active for sure and surely will update the last of the EH03 based GEEWIZ final update, as the developer djp is working on it. wish me luch buddzzz !!!

The probable reason its greyed out is that for the first time you connected with play store from India. Try connecting via a us proxy server, you might get lucky. Regards GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.

Well I know once you transfer them to PC they will look great. But what I am saying is that indoor photos look very dark on the phone itself, The indoor snaps from my fassy look fantastic. The display as well isn't that vibrant as is on fascinate. With similar brightness levels. GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.

Install Titanium backup Root connect to internet run the app go to backup/restore tab scroll down gradually find apps you want to remove click that app from the list first make a backup of that app, the option is there when u ll click or touch the app once backup is made , uninstall that app please make sure to uninstall the unremovable apps only via TIBU , the apps which one can easily un install by going into settings > applications> should not be uninstalled using TIBU , my experience says the pgm gets stuck and u will have to reboot only. see ya Btw : howz the camera of epic touch as compared to fascinate i can feel the snaps in fascinate were more brighter and crispy , or i am missing any settings here.

@ Amit : Awesome work with the images , helps a lot and about your PM : The Epic Touch is way more fragile than our sturdy fascinates the odin tar above actually gives you a stock FI03 , with root , but no clockwork mod, please dont look for one as yet as well. just make ur ownh structure by removing stuff via titanium backup My sincere suggestion to all those who arent that familiar with rooting and recoveries to not flash any recovery and not use FACTORY DATA RESET option in SETTINGS > backup and reset , especially on any ICS ROM, Probability of BRICKING the device is 100%. The CWM recoiveries in epic touch are kernel specific , one has to flash a kernel made with that recovery to get cwm. I am still learning those things once i am sure of myself , will share with the community as well.

I am myself on the same setup and this works beautifully. My suggestion is everyone should move onto stock rooted FI03 now. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

Amit : as i communicated via PM , your download got corrupt thats why unzipping isnt completing. If you want i can upload split rar archives on mediafire. @ ALL : i have just updated my ET to FI03 stock rooted its pretty awesome and the battery drain ? .. ummm what battery Drain

No THS 15 is very solid , dont upgrade coz jellybean cant work as a daily driver for you . THS 15 with Devil kernel is very very solid. stay with it btw i have upgraded my handset to a bigger better fascinate in EPIC TOUCH WHITE but i will try my best to keep this thread going.

Go for it , had a talk with the developer at XDA he himself confirmed its very very good. I am yet to flash , so cant give first hand review , ( all my uploads and ROM suggestions are made only after i have tried them myself or made someone try them who are known to me and gimme a review )

~ edited~ the update post moved to all queries will be dealt with there. regards

Guys if you are sick of ICS battery backup, then there is great news The latest FI03 ICS leak is just awesome Sprint has done a great job in this update and for those who think pinch to zoom is gone , well it ain't, its working fine in the build. The battery backup is very very good too. Give it a go. If you can't find or don't know how to do the then shout it out here will update . Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Flash super clean accurate battery first, then aosp lockscreen mod mentioned at super clean thread. And then flash the honeycomb theme meant for super clean. All these should be flashed in one go, in the order I mentioned. In the end clear dalvik and you are on pure awesomeness after reboot GWizzing on beautifully and freakin loving it.

I would stay away from using CWM to flash anything ( if its not a tweaked recovery ) as while wiping data , your phone might get bricked ( PLEASE NOTE there is a BRICK BUG in S2 sprint which generally kills the phone when you are wiping data via RECOVERY ) There are just a couple of safe recoveries + kernels combo whjich are safer ( may be 1 or 2 more ). Use ODIN updates , try this safe method , and the hall mark is that yopur phone will be updated to FH13 , it will get rooted as well and the best part is YOUR DATA and APPS will not be lost. Note down your Min no , and backup your NV settings - its a good habit If you are willing then follow this procedure. : Download this http://rwilco12.xdaf...D_NODATA_OC.EXE 1.... I am sure you have already installed Samsung usb drivers for Epic touch on your PC. 2.... unzip using 7zip > you will get a One click odin .exe file > double click it and it will show you a odin window 3.... Power down phone Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off . Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] and [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears, after that Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode 4.... now you are in download mode > connect usb cable , > your phone will show in a yellow box in the just opened odin window. ( please make sure that you are using a good usb cable ) 5.... hit start - in a few minutes the flash will complete and PASS or success will display on ODIN window in green color. Onec done , either the phone will reboot itself or you can reboot it urself. Now upon reboot , you are on stock FH13 - Rooted - with all your user data still intact. Have fun !!! [ WARNING - flashing your phone, however safe the method may be termed, can BRICK your phone , so do it on your own , I or RIMWEB cant be held responssible for any BRICKED devices - regards ]
