Thank you but i already know all that.. I posted in FB17 that I am working for homeland security this week and need 100% reliable communications... FB17 had to many random bugs that caused lockups/reboots (and the voice mail glitches) that i had to revert to 2.9... Will be pissed if this fixes all of them tho cause i am going to spend the night want to fix it and contemplating forwarding all calls to my hotel room while the phone is down...

Hey whats up guys. I'm one of the unfortunate ones to brick flashing Shabbys FB09. Got my replacement a few days ago and have been reading and itching to flash ICS.

This method that Dan just posted(thanks Dan)I've been seeing more and more that this is the way to go. Is this the method that everyone is goin with. Kind of a sure fire deal?? Well I shouldn't say "sure fire" but has anyone had any issues?

Flashahloic here so its been tough watching all this new awesomeness and not being a part of it.........but still trying to play it safe.

Thanks

and, what evidence do you have that we are close to a final build?

Exactly. The OG Epic spent like half a year on gingerbread leaks. Not that it will take that long but point is that leaks keep on coming and who knows when an official release will be.

Anyone have a changelog? Looking to upgrade from Caulks FB17 but not sure if the ICS theme or ROGUE will work with this yet. Want to know if there's anything super-special about FB21 :)

Thanks!

If the country is depending on your phone's reliability to make and receive calls then for the love of your countrymen keep the stock rom that came with the phone ;)

Yeah, I was in a similar situation. I just put everything on GoogleVoice. That way when I was playing with my phone, I could text and receive calls via another phone or computer.

Only problem with this is that you need another phone or a nearby computer haha. Google makes it very easy for you to add and remove other lines from their web interface.

I am assuming once a repacked Kernel is released, we can flash CWM from ROM Manager then flash the FB21 Kernel like on the FB17 leak correct?

    This ROM is completely stock with exception that root/busybox is included and it uses the stock(No CWM) kernel since no repack exist. Once a repacked kernel is available, I will reupload the ROM to include it

    All must be flashed through CWM, so flash the modem also in the same CWM session because once you reboot, you won't have CWM


    Factory reset \ Data format is HIGHLY recommended(use FORMAT ALL attached before flashing)

    you need to install rom manager from the market and select the option that says reboot into cwm recovery. Then there you go!

    God help us all. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER. IT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED THAT YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT READING BECAUSE 10 POSTS BACK JERDOG HAS GIVEN A LOUD AND CLEAR WARNING! AND YES I AM SREAMING!

    why are idiots asking about battery drainage when this rom hasn't even been out for 6 hours yet???

    I don't get why people say "FBxx(21) sucks at this and sucks at that"... No.... apparently you suck at flashing/installing because I have put it on 4 separate ET4Gs and they are all worthy daily drivers and having very few of these issues. Any issue I had was user-error and was easily fixed by a fresh install.

    What happened to the good days of "I'm having an issue" or "For me blah blah isn't working" and than asking for help. Not just assuming that you downloaded a terrible Rom that isn't worth a ****.

    What's with all the negativity and blind assumptions :-/ only makes you look unfamiliar with this stuff in my eyes (which I'm sure you could care less about Haha)

    Just my two cents o_O sorry, could just be the alcohol.

    FB21 observations thus far ...

    - Sprint VVM still borked and FCs when a VM comes in
    - Wallpaper scrolling in Touchwiz still doesn't work on Gallery images (scrolling on live and system wallpaper only - some wallpaper scrolling still randomly glitchy)
    - LED is still solid blue on any notifications
    - Battery % toggle still does nothing

    Update on the above ...

    - Could not get a GPS lock using GPS test. Gave it a few mins, and cleared/updated AGPS. Will have to test in other Apps later.
    - Wifi will not auto-reconnect to my router. I have to toggle Wifi off, then on again to reconnect. If wifi is kept on but not connected I get higher than normal battery drain (observed this in FB17)

    I guess that's it for now.
