kmc251 73 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 I've used this handset... really great... battery life not extra ordinary but better than other android handsets i came across... was eagerly waiting for ics to come up on Epic 4g touch... but didnt find any stable rom... the stock rom is preety enjoyable... the performance of this handset is great... i would say a great decision to go for this one... all the best... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

praveenuknair 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 I'm running it on stock rooted deodexed FD19(kernel,ROM & Modem) & "awesome" would be putting it euphemistically. since it is deodexed I have uninstalled all the bloatware (except the e-mail client.. which I prefer). Also disabled Touch Wiz and tried Apex Launcher (which is good) but now sticking to the stock ICS launcher which is super light. Battery too holds up for 5hrs heavy use (screen on for 4hrs+ with FIFA12 & browsing & youtube & movies) and 15hrs+ for moderate everyday use. overall I am enjoing this phone to the fullest for the past 40days with download speeds of 400kbps to 1.5Mbps The only two issues i have are random signal loss for 2seconds every once in a while & extremely poor upload speeds (neither seems to be phone's prioblem.. but haven't figured out the issue) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys suggest? Stay stock or check out the ROM's have seen quite a few roms! Pretty exciting. Also how is the battery life? I have been switching between 2 of the most popular Android 4.0.4 leaks for our phone - AOKP and Cyanogenmod 9 - Though source is not released as yet, both these ROMs are awesome.......That being said you need to take extra care while switching between GB and CM9 based ICS roms on the Epic 4G Touch, DON'T flash anything from an ICS recovery, if you want to flash either of these roms, start from stock EL29 , then ODIN stock EL26 CWM tar (as this is the only recommended recovery to flash ICS leaks), reboot into EL26 CWM recovery (blue) and flash ROM followed by the latest Gapps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shanusmarty 29 Report post Posted May 14, 2012 hello everyone, ICS OFFICIAL LEAK FROM SPRINT FOR EPIC 4G TOUCH! did any one updated to ICS Rom on XDA [ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.FD24_CL451301 (FD24 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) This One-Click ODIN contains the STOCK FD24 Modem/Kernel/ROM for the E4GT. The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of FD24) on top of this w/o issues. if any one did ? what are the pros and cons,battery backup,data,LOS etc.? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phonegeek 588 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Since you are already on EL29, so follow these steps: Root and install CWM. http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1342728 Using ES file explorer or any other root explorer app, go to system/etc/ppp and copy chap-secrets and pap-secrets to your SD card. Required for data connection on ICS. Download and put these files onto your SD Card. ROM, GAPPS, Modem(optional), kernel(optional) http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=151466 Go to CWM and make nandroid backup. -Wipe Data/Factory, Cache, Dalvik. -Flash ROM -Flash Gapps Flash modem -Wipe Cache and Dalvik again -Flash Kernel -Reboot You can flash modem also in the same CWM session. After rebooting, copy the chap/pap files to the same folder again in /system/etc/ppp and your data connection will be up. You must be having wifi so that you can connect to google play and install ES file explorer to copy the above files. Disclaimer : I am not responsible for any damage. Hope the above helps.......

To load it, first flash EL26 stock kernel this using ODIN Then go to recovery, wipe data, catch and dalvik catch. Install AOKP ROM, install latest GAPPS and reboot !

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 CM9/AOKP/AOSP does not support diag mode. Though on Epic 4G touch, we can temporary boot into EL29 ROM and then use diag mode and then again go back to AOKP. Go here for complete details http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1683481 Here is a very good video tutorial for using this temporary rom.

hiteshkkk1 327 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) But, when i shifted from EL rom to AOKP or CM9, my nv settings were perfect, still i could not use EVDO.... so, by that logic, even if i boot el29 from emmc, load dump, when i boot back to aokp, will evdo start working???

When you are at stock ROM or non CM based rom, you need to copy 2 files and keep in some folder. Later, when you shift to AOKP/AOSP, you need to paste the same file to the the same folder to start your data/EVDO. The files are : chap-secrets and pap-secrets. The files are in system/etc/ppp folder. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
