[Q] What todo with Rooted 2.2.1 Froyo Epic4g - Epic 4G General

ok so i have a brand new samsung epic that i just updated to 2.2.1 Froyo, then I used a one click root to root my phone................ so now what? what does rooted & 2.2.1 allow me todo someone please help me? whats the point of superuser? how do i get apps in there? i also read alot of forums about a viper room that scores 2000 something on the quadrant test, how do i get the viper rom on my phone? Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!!
The biggest thing that i really want is this clockwork mod i think thats what it is called, it makes your home screen look like the Evo with the big clock & weather feature, id really like to get that.

Please read the stickies before you post. This is Android DEVELOPMENT. Questions belong in the General section.

thanks for answering my question appreciate it

Look, if you don't know what root is, or does, then you shouldn't have rooted your phone until you completly understand the process and what its meant for... and its not Viper room... its VIPERrom! Use the search button!!!
And quadrant scores mean NOTHING!!! Its been proven to be a faulty system designed for the Evo, noob.... You should really go over to the General forum, cuz if you keep askin questions like above, your gonna get stomped on by the community here... FYI..

+1. Thought about stomping on him myself but appreciate you doing it for me.

Thank you Google for bringing us every kid out there that has searched for "epic 4g froyo". Oh and if you're still looking for answers, try taking a look around the general forum. Take a look at the wiki

where are the mods when you actually need them?

Whosdaman should be on this soon.
@OP - sorry for the blatant responses, but people post incorrectly in this forum daily and I suppose it has just got on everyone's nerves more and more over time.

Please post questions in General Section.

a bible for 3 roms and 2 kernels and 1 recovery.... totally.... needed... too much reading
no... the problem is with every swinging **** asking their dumbass questions in the developer section..... includeing this one.... mods should be alot stricter on what is considered "dev talk" and what is considered "general talk"
so... what are you actually contributing to this phone programming wise? oh wait... i thought this was a developer question

and the roms keep getting bumped down

ask them in the thread that involves that rom, if someone is going to answer you they can do it there... a new topic for each issue isn't the answer

Quick, everyone internet!
If a bible is made, please keep it locked except for new ROM posts. Otherwise, it will be like every single stinking thread on here and turn into why your grandma thinks the EVO is better than the Epic. Newsflash: no one cares.
Please. No Bibles. I try to avoid religion at all costs as it is the leading cause of insanity.
..Certainly a nice way to encourage involvement. Let me guess, your the "1337" guy that is sittin behind the VIP ropes of the "Dev" section. I had no prior computer experience before rooting my samsung moment 4 months ago, which SDX *graciously lays out in plain form. Since then Ive done a lot of homework and there is a reason why all the noobs go there, b/c they arent pretentious Milli-Vanill's like some on here...Last I checked registration on this was free and w/o dues or fees. Add those both then you may complain about the company you attract.
lame thread is a lame thread.
Totally retarted thread. I shoulda known by the title.
can i haz some cheese?
what happened to SEARCH - its amazing what it turns up if used!!!!!!!!!
Lol @ thinking this thread was going to end up any other way then what it actually did. Awful thread.

Minimum Posts

Been a member here several months now, still can't post in any of the dev forums. Why? Because I would rather read and find my issue & fix it. 40 pages of posts, ok I read them.
Understand the frustration of repeat questions? Yes I do. Lots of 'em, what a pain in the a$$... think my fav was the last page or two of Shift-Deck, someone lookin for the Gapps dl when it was posted right above their own post, classic. Wouldn't u know, 6 posts later, some1 else is lookin for d same damn thing, fun!
Btw, this makes me 1 closer to being able to being able to post in dev section.

That's funny. It makes me think of when people say that one poster must know more than the others because "look at dude's post count!" Lol, like as if asking a bunch of stupid questions makes you more credible.
Hey... is there any way XDA could implement a Read Count?? That'd be awesome, make it so you have to have actually READ the forum before you can post in Development.
^ Shift Faced
I see your fustration but honestly 10 posts in 3 other sections is not hard at all.
When I joined XDA I already had a really good hold on an Android\Linux enviroment. but i still had to go through the same thing so what I did was post in the general section helping people who didnt have a strong grasp on android
I would also post on the themes and apps section just saying thanks for a couple really good themes or mods and before you know it wala i can post in the development section.
and unless you made cooked something up right off the bat when joining XDA then what is the huge rush to get there? Its not like your not allowed to download what other devs have made or hit that thanks button?
the 10 post rule is meant for people to grasp how the threads work so people dont post questions on the development forum even if the question has to do with "development" and thats just an example.
we all see where your coming from because we were there but try to understand why the rules are there in the first place.
there not there for no reason
I hoped this helped
i was just like you. i join in march but just got my 10 post like 3 or 4 days ago. i just read and all my answer were usually answered for me but now that i'm actually active its really easy to raise your post account and plus the members here in the Shift section are really friendly so you don't have to worry about getting flamed unless you ask about gingerbread perma root
I can only imagine the look on devs faces when away from a release thread for a few days, come back to 10 questions about something he already answered 1 page back or even on the POST ABOVE THEM!

Definitely see where ur coming from & understand the reasoning, just wish there was an express route. Some kind of act for those of us that can figure it out quicker... not that I am "special"...
If anything, the rules should be more strict, damn it is frustrating reading the same thing over & over through 50 pages.
Just wish I could post a question or comment that hasn't been addressed in the last 50 pages.

Never join anything just to join . It's a different type of recovery than what we currently have for the Shift. IMO Better . You should look at what it has to offer if you get a chance.

How to update STOCK 2.1 Evo to 2.3.3 WITHOUT Root?

Hello people! My friend has an Evo that is still on 2.1 and she wants to update to 2.3.3. The OTA isn't working (saying that there isn't an update) and when we called sprint tech support, they said that they would have to create a trouble ticket and go to the store. We called the closest store to her, and they are back up until tomorrow. I told her I could flash it manually (without rooting it)....but i should have kept my mouth shut, because I cannot find a normal 2.3.3. RUU, and am not sure if I should first up her to 2.2. then to 2.3 anyway (oops).
So now I'm on the hook, lol!
So, where can I find STOCK, NON ROOTED RUU's (I've checked the wiki)
And should I upgrade her to 2.2, then to 2.3?
Root is an option, I just didn't feel like doing it (I see Unrevoked would work for 2.1 still)
Thanks for any help guys!

1. None of the links in his "search" had what I was looking for.
2. I found my own answer above (see post #5), and updated her hours ago.
3. Thanks to Tropicalbrit for actually reading my question....god.

Then there are a couple teenagers like me, filling in for adults
HipKat, teh roxxorz, Lithid, dased14 (who mostly hangs out in Themes and Apps), and several others provide great help. They've answered plenty of my questions before.
Lithid did SalvageMod and Freedom kernel, dased14 makes dozens of flashable zips with themes and mods, HipKat and teh roxxorz have made guides for subjects of all sorts. Everyone has their own personalities though so its something to get used to.
Believe me when I say the Evo 4G forum is one of the better ones. I frequent basically every Sprint / Verizon phone forum and I cannot stand all of the whining and fights. We have a strong developing team and plenty of people qualified to answer questions.
I'm just here to fill in the cracks, my knowledge is limited. The forum is a bit confusing at times, but you'll get used to it. I'm here to keep the peace and help out as much as I can.
Okay. I got off-topic, I don't see relevance in this post anymore. Glad your problem is solved

I actually have no problem helping people, it's just people like you who piss and moan and yell at the people trying to help when they don't get exactly what they need in the first response. If you don't like the answers we give you, feel free to go do it yourself. Think the 3D forums are so great? Go buy and 3D and hang out over there.

I don't care about "who's who" and "who did what", I'm not a Stan, and cheerleader is not on my resume. If you treat someone with respect, you get respect, point blank.
Look, I'm done. I solved my own problem (that I spelled out quite clearly I might add), and one guy actually read and understood and helped out too, for which I am grateful. Take care.

But honestly, Darkside had a point but maybe not presented in the best way. I guess some people are tired of answering the same questions when there are clear posts/threads about it that are also easy to find.
I'm a beginner as well but I tend to look for a solution myself rather than asking. But we are all different I guess.
Such is society. The world is full of people who would prefer to have information hand fed to them. No wonder many people cannot infer from information.

Your post explains EXACTLY where im coming from, thank you.
And the part about searching yourself is music to my ears.
yes, maybe i went about it the wrong way, i will admit that...BUT:
I know this isnt my forum, i have no say in anything on here at all...but its depressing having to read the same thing over and over and over - and all these threads do is push the good informative threads off the first couple of pages and makes it very hard to garner good honest information posted by people making a genuine effort to improve things for our phone.
Check the Q&A & General section, count how many ICS threads there are already...all talking about the same thing. Its like all of a sudden theres an influx of new members (probably young guys/girls) who are in a competition to feel part of something, and satisfy this need by posting threads on massive forums like this one without using the search function...that function is there for a reason, its mentioned in the rules and its just common sense to check if what you are about to post is already available...isnt it?
Maybe im completely wrong, maybe im looking at it the wrong way, but i now struggle to find anything of value on this forum because im wading through...well, you get my point....

I am not that clever, but I do know that Search & Read are the most valuable things to use this site. And if I am able to do it, then most can do as well.
I can understand if the Rooting and Flashing of ROMs was explained in a very technical way, but the posters have taken time to do step-by-step instructions. Okay sometimes for noobies it can still be confusing. I guarantee that if they read through that thread then they will have found someone already who asked that question for clarification (which will have been answered).
I am indebted to some very clever folk have developed programs or modified ROMs so that we can root and flash. And also to those who took the time to make the guides for us.
I only wish I knew how to go about learning about developing - it does seem to be a very steep learning curve.

How is he supposed to know what you have posted without reading it. You may have tried searching & reading but there was a problem with actually doing the rooting.
There are a lot of folks on here that English is not their first language, so may need help with following the instructions.
If you have learned to use the best thing on this site - the Search - then his reply was worth it.

Oooh. You got me there.
If you can't find the kernel in the development section you obviously must be too thick. USE THE SEATCH BUTTON.
Er, no I won't 'gtfo'
You get out with your pointless posts.
And with your attitude, no one is going to help you out.

Clearly you didn't use the search button, or you'd have found the answer quickly. Or if you bothered to check the stickies for the kernels, or read through the thread.
If the files have already been posted by the developer and confirmed working, why are you asking people if its 'safe'?
And yes, asking people to use the search button is useful, if you even bothered to read the XDA rules.

I have to agree with Olyloh6696 on this one. The advice given was quite acceptable. Everyday new threads are started for no reason when the info is already available. Some people just want to be spoon fed simple information. Maybe they are in a rush to solve their problem and decide why spend hours looking when I can just start a new thread and ask. Only problem is; hours of other peoples time is waisted looking at threads like this one.

You have a very cocky attitude. No one will want to help you in the future.
'Blow me' possibly the worst insult I have ever heard.
And you've used it twice before you edited your other post.
Ha.

just have a look on the thread that is already there ...
I think that is the same exact topic for the post 3 or 4 below yours. All these ICS posts are getting ridiculous. I seriously wish google would have made it harder to root android phones.

That, or I wish one-click roots would stop existing. It robs people of valuable experience and knowledge of the platform when they can mindlessly double-click and be rooted.
I've read somewhere that Paul O'Brien has already root the Nexus Prime, so he was able to extract a dump (with Drew Garen use in his beta).
Sorry for my english
i don't get the griping about threads that are made here. this is the slowest forum of any phone i've used anyway. . .

I somewhat agree with this. Getting tired of the development threads clogging up with "How do I reboot my phone?" and "Do I need to wipe my ass before flashing this rom?" questions.
People just refuse to read or research on their own anymore.

I agree with this. We get the same thing in the Shift forum. A lot of people with rooted phones that have no idea how it got there or what to do with it.

This is the main problem. Having easy root methods is all fine and good if you actually research what you are doing. There's a tool on this forum called "search"... 90% of people's questions can be answered by using this tool.
Sorry for the off topic post.. ICS, blah blah blah

Yeah and I think this whole idea of telling everyone to get together and make a single ROM is completely retarded, in all honesty.
Part of what makes this phone great is its diverse selection of ROMs. All these posts about needing a single ROM show A) complete lack of patience, and B)likely little understanding of how the phone, kernel, root, filesystem, etc works at all.
I think bashing someone for asking a question or making a suggestion you disagree with is pathetic. You all act like you wiped the embryonic fluid out your mouth and started spouting code. I'd much rather be a noob than a snob. Do you not realize the more newcomers the better? Newcomers become old comers like the great devs we have today... so don't be a part of the problem by stiffening innovation and contribution. Be a part of the solution: be patient with pwople, encourage ideas, make helpful suggestions (like I believe they are having this discussion on the thread below this one)

Wait, you have to wipe your ass before flashing a ROM? ... **** ...
the OTA will be the first fully functional and stable ics. i don't think google have better dev.
i'm sure there is real genius on xda. but google work in team...
so the ics collab is not a bad idea.
and why not one-click-root? every one wants a fancy and better phone! what's wrong with that?
but you are right. no need to ask on forum how to. "root (phone)" on google and you find two hundred answers...
I agree with you too

jeez im sorry for posting this on here, i didn't even know there were a thread like that already, but **** yall need to calm the f down
Well, with all due respect, suggesting or telling devs to work together is almost insulting.
Devs dont take lightly to people telling them what they should and shouldn't do. I'm not saying you're being demanding by any means, but regardless, theyll see the post, and more than likely think "Who the hell does this guy think he is, talking about how I need to work with someone else, so ICS is more complete"
Have patience.....they're working hard....on their day jobs first.
