[Q] EL30 vs MTD or just wait - Epic 4G General

So I've stuck with BML through several different Roms. I originally rooted because I needed working gps and wifi. I had decided I was going to switch to MTD this weekend but now I'm not so sure. Any suggestions?

If I was in ur spot I would probably just wait and see what happens with el30

There's no gps fix in el30 as far as I've seen... just make the move eventually they will have el30 mtd roms within a week or two

cm7 or miui ROM is best for me... Im using miui and not switching til cm9 gets here.. try miui rom and u will see wat i mean..LOL
its different with more feature than TW roms has to offer..

Hmmm..I guess I would wait for your favorite ROM to do all the upgrades, grab the modem and then convert to MTD. Should be about a week.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I switched to MTD so I could run CM7, as well as my FAV ROM that I converted over, but besides the loads of extra space, it hasn't been much different.
If you want to try CM7, backup your fav BML setups, convert them to MTD, install CM7, the switch as you like.
But unless you are going to checkout CM7, I would stick with BML until EL30 ROMs come out, then jump.

sounds like a good time to try CM7 or MIUI.US. ran cm7 for a week, switched to MIUI.US for a week.
Most likely the devs will come out with a good MTD rom do you don't have to odin back to RFS to go back to EL30.

I'm thinking this sounds like a plan. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Id say just switch to mtd, EL30 ROMs will be kind of cripple or in beta for a bit since mods have to be ported and debugged

After using CM7 there's just no going back... tons of features. Love the ability to revoke permissions from apps.

This +9000. I am readying an MTD of EI22 for my rom, its out to testers to make sure nothing is borked. EL30 is currently low on my list until someone proves it is completely CIQ-free.
-Sent from my Random Epic.

lol EL30 is just a fix we have already had on cm7 and most any other EI22 rom for months now i say waste of time stick with MTD CM7 is a dream and with now official nightly updates it gets no better then that.

CM7 sounds really good, but is it ready for daily use in a business? I can flash every couple weeks and need emails, texts, gps navigation and working phone. I don't mind testing and installing different apps but reading the cm7 thread... well maybe it is just some of the noob questions. Is it ready for daily use?

Okay
Emails - works just the same
Texts- the only issue with this is that you have to go into the messaging settings and split messages(not really an issue but there's a fix)
Gps- works better than on TouchWiz ROMs although I've never used navigation
Phone- only sight difference is when a call is ended it says "call lost" mightve been fixed idk don't make to much calls myself. But once again not really an issue, the call still ends the same.
So as you see its more than ready for daily use

Well email app has no way to pick "always show pictures" so using K9 is better.
MMS does not send over wifi with stock mms.apk but works with GoSMS.
Calls end normally now from what I saw.
There are even some ported TW stock apps in Apps subforum.

Yes, that is what happens but it is more like 50/50, like it doesn't wait long enopugh for 3G to connect. But GoSMS doesn't switch to 3G, sends right over wifi.

I remember reading a change log on the recent nightlies where the mms over wifi was fixed.

Blandroid on N1

I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.
Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.
Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.
Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.
You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.
The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.
Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

What sort of battery life do you get and is there good support from the Dev?
I could go for no wonk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

Okay, I'll calm down... Thanks, in advance...
(Someone have any chocolate for me? That will calm me down... Yeah right!)
EC07:
Browser based apps acutally are working now, not crashing. IE. TDbank and words with friends.
Way better memory managment. Apps not closing as much!
Better battery life by far!!!
Also EC07 can be rooted via superoneclick
So where it at? I been looking but no new posts or threads in xdaprem apo....

For those who want to know.

EC07 is from TeamBlackHat, if you feel like getting it immediately and having a stock phone, then go for it and spend the $2 for the app to download it. Otherwise, wait another day or two and we'll have deodexed, pre-rooted, and debloated versions for you to flash.
Based on the upgrade to 2.2.2, I'm thinking that this is roughly equivalent to ED05 for the Fascinate.

In all reality, I really appreciate all that you, trailblazer, pastorbennett, and joshkoss have done for the Continuum. I will contribute where I can, however, it is you guys that have really done a bunch of work on it. Yes, I can be patient. Thank you again.
May not be tube right place for this question, but is there anyway that we get some cool roms like cm7? Or is that Technically unreasonable?

sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum
Deodexed is a non optimized rom meaning it can be themed and modded. Odexed is the exact opposite.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
I am not quite sure what you mean is "not optimized" There is no optimization differences, other than the fact the first boot is faster on odexed roms than deodexed roms xP

Yup I did a fresh install. I have both the ripple lock and the agile lock (sense 3.0) and they both do the same. I found out that they ado work but to I have to use the volume to show unlock (weird) If I hit the power button nothing happens at all.
Been using it for about an hour now...so far so good. No problems and as fast and lite as I remember.
Gonna stick with it as my normal runner if no issues creep up.

To be honest with you I only tried CM7 for about an hour. I just didnt like the look and layout, plus it seems like it comes with so much more things installed (bloat to me). During that hour it did not feel any faster nor smoother than Oxygen. Been using Oxygen since 2.2.1 till now and I have NEVER got a reboot or freeze. Check it out man, you wont be dissapointed.

New user

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks
Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen
Kings
But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

GPS and Gingerbread

I'm currently on my third Epic and thought I finally got one that wouldn't give me issues (The first kept locking up, the second didn't have a working proximity sensor) but the third turned out to have some crazy GPS issues.
GPS would randomly turn off and say it was trying to connect and stay that way. Even in crystal clear skys when not moving, the GPS would just not work. Sometimes it would work only to lose connection a few minutes later.
I took it into the Sprint store and the only thing they could do for me was just flash the phone back to 2.2.
Is this purely the Gingerbread update not working (when it comes to GPS) or have other people experienced no problems with GPS on stock gingerbread?
Basically I'm debating whether I should call customer service and complain until I get a new one, try the gingerbread update again and hope it works this time, or root and hope the GPS works as well.
Any help is well appreciated.

The GPS is very wonky on the ei22 update... I would root and flash a different rom. All of the roms have the gps fix... if you would like to stay stock there is a gps fix floating around somewhere that you can flash over stock rooted ei22

No need if you have root permissions go into es file manager ( if you have it if not get it) go into your favorites and open the / or the phone icon go to the system file then find the vendor file then go to the bin file and hold the gpsd file there and go into its properties and check this:
X X X
X O X
X O X
Make sure your checks look like that

That is not his problem. Stock EI22 has the half ass library files resulting in lock ups and very few locks. He needs to flash a custom ROM or just deodexed stock and the GPS fix containing the good library files.

Awe thought I was all smart providing such an elaborate explanation and solution. See what I did there using them fancy words the way I did?

As no one was linking you to the fix there you go. And if I remember correctly I ran this on stock odexed rom just fine for a while. No need to get a deodex rom just get clockwork mod and flash it.

I think that was the one I used but since I have it saved with a different filename I figured I'd upload mine as it definitely worked on a stock EI22.
