Epic 4g touch not acting right after update - Epic 4G General

Buddy, I know I am not developing anything... I was merely trying to provide a link to something that I thought the developers could use. and its not the general settings its the general forums. I think its obvious that it was copied and pasted. Dont be an idiot dude. we are all excited about progress and when us "non-developer" types try to help the developers out we get flamed by cs's like you. flag the post if you feel it shouldnt be here but I believe the link that I provided is more useful than your stupid ass post.

Basically, a .RAR file is similar to a zip file - it's usually used either to compress a file so that it's a smaller download, and/or to pack multiple files into a single file.
The part that's more confusing to most people is Windows (or Mac, for that matter) has no built-in support for RAR files. For Windows, the solution I like is something called Peazip - it's a free download. For the Mac, Stuffit Expander will do the job (also a free download for just the Expander). Both can be found easily by googling them - I haven't posted enough times yet to be able to give the direct address for them.
Hope that helps.
When you start the thread, "hope I don't get flamed.." it shows you already know that you have a high chance of getting flamed ha if not by me someone else would have done it, and you hate that so why post? And you said you don't know what to do with the .rar, how about use odin and flash it, lol, it not like a developer going to be like " OMG didn't know where this was been looking everywhere for it!" When it already in the general forum

I agree, the man is trying to help out the community and he gets slammed for it. I wish people on here were more laid back. This is community (free) rom development, lets try to act like were gratefull for this stuff and be more civil to each other.

The disclaimer was because I was posting a link and not the actual rom. I have seen many people post a tar for a stock rom. I posted a link to a stock rom and that was the difference.

Change thread title to - [STOCK ROM] EF02 - and we all be happy.
A thread for all stock builds or one thread for every stock build should be here IMO.
Guys these threads are packed with useless bickering as it is, lets just try and stay on topic guys
now, as for this EF02, you guys think there'll be a rooted/custom version available by the end of today? Some ppl who have flashed this already say its really smooth, the only problem is thats its stock, so flashing it will rewrite our recovery image and break our CWM/current root I'm tempted to flash it, but then again, i dnt want to lose my SRF 1.1.1 without being able to restore back. so i'll wait

I disagree. One of the things that makes this forum so helpful overall is its heavy policing.
Other forums are a disorganized wild west, and you can't find anything without 5 minutes of sorting the good from the crap.
Was it warranted here? Maybe. Maybe not. As a general approach being nit-pickey douches about what goes where does help though. Few people do it twice.
OP Edited... Hope that is more suiting

So next time someone comes across a new leak they shouldn't post it until they customize it? No, I'm not buying in to that. And just because it is in the General section does not mean that it shouldn't be here as well. So.. without further turning this forum into a "disorganized wild west" (sometimes the police even need policing) how about we get past the forum etiquette discussion and move on to EF02.

MIUI 1.7.8 MMS confirmed working!

Andmer finally has MMS working on his rom with the apk listed here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15707813/miui/Mms.apk. Replace the apk in system/app with root explorer and exit permissions. This is confirmed by myself and many others who have sent numerous incoming and outgoing mms messages. I dont believe there is anymore functionality i would need out of this rom other than speed and sensor optimizations. Also, autobrightness doesnt seem to work at the moment.
O yay.. just what we needed...
another thread.
Thanks for letting us know.
But next time, could you please post it in the MIUI development thread? Thanks.
Wow...I thought that the general section was for these types of threads.. first everyone complains that things are posted in the wrong section, now the wrong thread?? This community it's slowly going to **** with the people posting only negative comments.

I'm in the same boat (not enough posts).
Very excited to see the MMS fix! I ran the MIUI ROM a few builds ago and decided it wasn't quite ready for my daily driver, but now it looks very promising. Can't wait to flash the new build on Friday.
JT and Andmer are some awesome devs and have done a great job on these ROMs!

audio works fine on my part after this fix. once again, replace apk in system/app... it WILL force close. reboot, edit permissions through root explorer, reboot again if necessary.
Anyway to get the apk installed without root explorer. Currently I am broke can't afford to purchase it

New OTA today

I am sure this must have been posted somewhere already, but I didn't see it. I only saw threads on the new source code deposit for EL30.

The QIK and Asphalt 5 applications are no longer preloaded. When opening the applications using the application icon, you will be redirected to the Android market to download and install the full application.
After the QIK install, you will need to login using your original account information or create a new account. All contacts should remain intact

Sorry not trying to gripe or be rude but its ridiculous that there's this many threads about the same thing. they all relate to the same thing. just because one person posts about a kernel, doesn't mean another person has to post about the modem or the tar.
We all know its coming but after 2 threads its just killing it. Again no disrespect or harsh feeling but we all don't want to see several threads dealing with the same thing is all.

He's right, the posts about the OTA on EL30 just started this week. There WERE posts about EL30 being worked on in early January. I don't see the need to complain about a few OTA threads...besides, existing threads usually get way off track and keep rising to the top for topics not even related to the original title.

For starters, why on earth do you want to switch to the One when the bootloader just got hacked? All you gotta do is hold out for one month! There is a method to unroot, it's in a thread in this forum just search for it.

why not try reset all, factory reset yourself or search the forums on how to remove root since it's already been stated in the root threads?
