Got a refurb Epic on EL30 - LOVING IT! - Epic 4G General

Okay, I had to buy a refurb Epic and EL30 is snappy. For example, the applications populate instantly when I choose Manage Applications. GPS actually works too. It's very polished and refined. This will definitely hold me over until the SGS3 releases later this year.
Fyi- I paid $162 from Ebay. The phone looks absolutely brand new.

I thought so too. But then I started missing all of the goodies from CM7.

EL30 seemed buggy to me. I had to run a different kernel to stop the reboots. Back on cm7 now, and anxiously waiting for cm9!!

I have yet to have a freeze or reboot crop up on EL30.
I rooted to remove bloatware, and applied the wifi hotspot hack.

What ROM did you flash? I was just using the odexed EL30 and the reboots were bad. I haven't seen any el30 ROMs. Seems like everyone is still using EI22.

There are a couple el30 custom roms out... sleeper and hoffmans "long way to go" (not officially named yet). And no random reboots here on stock el30 or the custom el30 roms....

I'm on the stock + rooted + deodexed with the clean gingerbread with slight mods kernel. I'm driving, so I can't provide links to the individual posts where I got each thing.

My GPS on Froyo was good, On GB leak it was bad, on GB official its Bad as well. On CM7 its still bad, with several GPS Fixes it doesn't fix anything Argggg.
Wish i knew what the cause for this is, on the official release of GB for HTC devices GPS is flawless. But mine it stutters and laggs never consistent.

Oh, I only do clean slate installs starting from EC05. I was surprised with the reboots since they really didn't change much from EI to EL. My fiance had the same issues with hers.

Feb 22nd Froyo OTA

So has anyone that's on stock EA28 tried to check for an OTA update to see of the rumor of the aforementioned 2.2.1 OTA is actually being pushed today like various sources said it is supposed to be?

many of us are curious as to when/if the ota will drop...despite being on eb01 already.
basically the sooner the ota starts, the (hopefully) sooner the froyo source is released from samsung.

I will confirm for you in a few hours, but I can pretty much guarantee that its a negative, and the people who leaked it are full of merd.

Considering that EB01 still has a number of problems (like the new GPS issues), I'd imagine they'd hold off on releasing until there's nothing too major.
Plus, they haven't announced that they're going to do anything, so it seems highly doubtful it's coming out today.
Totally agree.. Besides if they can not get bing up in our face what's the point of even updating us .. Ever

That hasn't stopped them from pushing out updates with a multitude of issues before. lol Just release the source. Who cares if it's buggy? Our wonderful developers will fix it and then Verizon can use that to push out to everyone.

Unfortunately the majority of Fascinate owners will never be able to reap the rewards of all the hard work that our developers put into making Samsung's Fascinate an actually great phone.
I am surprised that the Epic 4G got theirs as scheduled. We may not get it today but we will soon enough!

I don't use EE03 because of instability. It reconnects to USB while it's plugged in and continues to do so, without unplugging it.
And GPS doesn't work. If those worked, I'd use gingerbread like no tomorrow.
Im ready to try V7....... Ive had a good experience with all of marusants ee03 roms and been using as a daily from the beginning
I did the whole DK28 thing. Eventually all the little things added up to being able to wait. From what I read, my low patience level would/could be tested instantly. It'll wait and get a custom rom off the actual drop. It's only 2-3 weeks out, from what it sounds like. At 32 years old, that's 2 ****s away. I loooove stability, blazing speed and stability. In that order. Leaked versions don't float my boat.

insanely hot running, battery life is horrible, (on all three roms... not sure, maybe its just 'my phone'), settings not sticking, (settings service constantly running)... thought the USB connection was just my stock cable becoming TOTALLY useless... but yeah, works fine...
Dont get me wrong... I LOVE your ROM, all the GB ones... maybe its just that im right on a sprint/roam border, so unless I roam control I constantly switch back and forth...
From my experience with marcusants EE03 roms they're neither slow nor laggy if installed properly. It just works (Steve Jobs ref) Ive had incredible battery life,quick locking GPS and no lag. I think the install sequence is the key when coming from EC05

Current "best" rom suggestions?

So I owned the epic, played with Midnight, played with ACS and finally said **** it and went with a NS4g... I haven't touch an epic in a few months now and was wondering if you guys have CM7 yet, or any other good AOSP-like alternatives.
My mom and sister are still using epics and are sick of the sprint UI and bloat and I was looking to help them out by loading something different no their phone.
Any suggestions?
Well no aosp yet.... but syndicate rom frozen is veryy battery efficient and fast... and I would use genocide with it, atleast untill vision kernel comes out
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
IMO... as mentioned above,
rom: srf 1.2
kernal: genocide 1.1 or twilight 1.1.1

Also, ACS just stated a new AOSP project. It looks promising, though not at a usable stage, yet.

Everything is pretty much the same since you left. Development on every rom has progressed but the selection and pros/cons of each one are about the same.

I've been using Genocide/SRF with almost no problems. The only FCs I had were from flashing an Email patch from Midnight on top of Syndicate. As long as I didn't try to mix ROMs, I was fine.

Ec05 further development

Are any devs working on cooking up more ec05 roms? Reason being is tht I feel like we are never going 2 see a official GB rom anytime soon with the way samsung Bull sh*ts everyone.

You probably just need to reinstall those apps that show as missing and then move them to sd card again. Not sure why you would be getting random reboots all of a sudden. A few others have reported that as well. I updated my modem and then went to CM7 nightly 24.
