Rodderick already has a froyo dual boot kernel. In that thread he also mentions when official drops he'll make a dual boot gingerbread kernel. Also I think mkasick has been working on being able to dual boot srf and cm7 somehow.

Yes I'm working on this, although I'm a bit behind so it might not be until the weekend before I have something working.

Are you gonna be booting cm7 from sdcard or boot ec05 from cm7?

The requirement will be having a kexec-patched kernel installed to flash. Right now that means an EC05-based ROM in flash, and I think the only patched kernel right now is the test kernel I posted in the kexec thread, which is RFS only.
CM7 will be fully on the SD card, including both the ROM and kernel. It will be booted from EC05 recovery by applying an update.zip.

Never ran srf but that'll be awesome, the cm7 is looking great too so can't wait to see what it all looks lik

Kernels

So I have the kernel manager, and I have flashed the dodgekernel_v1.3 and my WiFi,4G and hotspot are broken. Any help would be useful. Also is there a stable kernel I can run with the stock shift Rom??

If your running stock froyo scaryghouls kernels are talked about as being really good i just never used it, bcnice20s kernels is what i always used on froyo, now when it comes to stock GB there is no kernel source from htc so all the newer kernels are for aosp 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 i cant keep up with aosp

Never used the Kernel manager. But if your running stock Froyo Shift Rom you can try one of these. I've used them all with good results. First one is my favorite.

No problem .Glad I could help . Just remember to hit the Thanks button anytime ANYONE helps you.
ive heard not so good things of kernel manager
and was told to stay away from it..
but im glad yer problem was fixed now.
whoever said that is simply wrong. kernel manager is a good tool. it downloads/checks download integrity/clears cache and dalvik/installs kernel all in a single step.
the only thing you have to decide is which kernel you want.

Froyo from what I was told.
Hey just an update, I flashed the x99 kernel and all seems to be working well. 4G works and gas works well just used it to find the hospital. Gonna check the hotspot and WiFi soon. Thanx again. And one more question, where is this thank u button. Is it in the main site.

DT, I haven't had enough coffee yet so this could be a dumb question. I've got three different versions of your AO5P ROMS with three different launchers backed up so I can switch whenever I want or need to.
If I'm understanding this correctly with this ROM it just makes things alot easier to switch?

Since we really have no true devs we are going to have to look for one with knowledge of code. We may have to donate some money to someone to get them a bravo unless there's someone with an extra that is willing to let someone use it. That's our true problem is that the defy, Atrix, galaxy s, and other phones have support from cm and alot of experienced devs that have been developing since the magic and hero days.

Yes, the results from the excellent tip: Well first I moved over the framework and apps like rdanner said, and it worked! Then I moved over the ect folder for working gps and better working wifi and such, and it also worked and booted! It runs pretty well, but the only problem is 3D (egl libs) don't work with the 2.2 kernel (this is a guess kind of, I'm guessing it needs the 2.3 kernel). Any time I move over newer libs from the newer build I get stuck at the moto screen. I still suggest people to try it out though, I don't have the signal working yet I don't think unless it already works...maybe try playing with the baseband switcher. The build is pretty smooth and wifi and orientation both work good...
Try it here
ICS gapps here
After install wipe data/factory reset and cache and dalvic cache maybe... I would boot it up first and do gapps after it's booted. Have fun, and thanks again rdanner!

No there will most likely never be an mtd touchwiz rom.

Or any other AOSP rom, yes. For example, CM9 and ICS MIUI will both only be MTD for us.
A TouchWiz rom w/ MTD is possible, but very unlikely and probably not even worth the time.

Not worth the time? Why? Not everyone is a big fan of MIUI or Cyanogen. I see no reason why this shouldn't be developed as something all rooted users could take advantage of.

Ehhhh, it requires you have android_kernel_epic4g_gb_official, android_device_samsung_epicmtd, a few other repos I don't remember off the top of my head, CM source, and then you've got to hope it compiles the issue is that it compiles with a CM build. Naturally our regular kernels don't necessarily have a 2 stage init. Go look and see if you can find a stock MTD kernel for other devices which didn't start at stock as MTD, I'm not sure there are many, if not any at all.
Noobnl had it booting but it reboots after a short bit.

EL30 to FC09 Flashable Modem Delta update.

Thanks to mkasick for making kexec possible on the Epic 4G, an to DRockstar for CWM5, and to bickman2k for testing the zip(ps, it works)
Downloads:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/04/el30-to-fc09-cwm-zip.html
Instructions:
For BML:
Flash the zip in CWM if you just want to update your modem while on BML and with the EL30 modem. As long as you have the EL30 modem already and are on BML partition you will not lose any data or root.
For MTD:
CM7 nightlies, CM9, and any other MTD kexec supported kernels which is just about all. Go to the following post, then come back here for the modem flashable, and flash my zip in the BML CWM:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-cwm5-bml-from-sdcard-no-flash.html
For those on FB15 Rom or Modem, you need to go to EL30. Rodderik has the stock tar and modem here:

I bet they stopped modem development after EL30. Wasn't messing with the modem what contributed to random reboots on the leaks? They probably feel they got it as best as they could and the delta changes the baseband number.
