Team Acheron's Touched By S4 version 2.2 GB27 Jelly Bean Deodexed for the Epic 4G Touch SPH-D710

Since GB27 is the OTA. :D and We have the S4 system dump. Touched by An S4(more like overtaken)...With S3 & Note 2 flavors
And now Agat63's Kernel/recovery.This is the Final-Final build
Ok I'll say this to all, If there are certain part of the ROM which you don't like, remove them. I try to put a mixture of everything. I can't make everyone happy. You, the person who flashes the ROM, has control of what you keep and what you get rid of. It's not directed at anyone, just a general statement. With that said, I do take suggestions and input....constructive input and I will always listen. :)

Happy flashing to all! :D

known issues:

On full wipe "SystemUI has crashed" :
For the fix, simply reboot your phone, nothing to wipe just do a simple reboot.
Or you can wait until you get a notification or use 3minit app to change the statusbar.

Major issue
May have boot loop issues when wiping and flashing from Agat's or Garwynn's recovery. Fix- wipe and flash from EL26+CWM recovery
here: http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ls/Recovery Kernels/GB/Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR

You can also, pull the battery during the boot loop, Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and re-flash ROM.


ISSUES


Not getting VM notifications
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45151006&postcount=6300
Fix by 1mp4c (thank you)

Ripple live wallpaper has stopped
This is normal. it is due to the wallpaper needing to read the SD Card at startup to be applied. Once the SD Card is done being read and you click OK. The wallpaper with ripple effect will show back up.

Not being able to set wallpaper
Go to manage apps and clear app preferences.

Stock video player FC and crashing
Flash either garwynn's or stock kernel

Not being able to download from market
Three things:
1)Clear google play store cache and data(manage apps) remove google account. reboot phone. Add google account again and download.

2)If you get the error not enough room/space.......unmount SD Card. download and install app. remount SD Card.

3)Try flashing the stock kernel GB27



For reference
From phakker on changing permissions with terminal emulator:
Type these into Terminal

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system

chmod 0777 system/etc/init.d/*

chmod 0777 system/etc/gps.conf

chmod 0777 system/etc/init.d/(file name)

Tips and How-to

HOW TO PROPERLY FLASH A JB ROM

Ok so first thing. We have all see a rise in questions how to properly flash a JB ROM or JB modem. some people say one way other say another. Which kernel/recovery do you use? which is the best way to flash a modem? Why use "X" over "Y"? Here is a small collection of what I use that has never failed me. If you follow these steps you can't go wrong.

1) If you have never been on JB before. you need to flash a JB one click that wipes everything. even internal storage. I know its a bit scary to wipe your internal storage but it is necessary to repartition the phone. under JB we have a new /preload folder; which is ~200MBs. So we need to make room for it. You can grab a copy of GB27. Make sure to get the data wipe version. Back up all your internal storage on your PC before you flash.

Grab the full data wipe version


How to Flash a Modem
Somethings have changed due to new recovery kernel for JB.

This is if you need to know how to flash a JB modem. Really, there are two ways to accomplish this. One is with PC odin and the other is flashing in a recovery. We will start with PC odin first. use the link below for where to get the modem.....JB modem. Download a JB modem which is FK23 - GB27. ll of them will work, some better than others. I recommend downloading a One-Click (OC) modem and while you are there download a Zip version as well.

Odin / PC Once the OC odin is download open it up as administrator and put your phone in download mode. once you hook your phone up to the PC you will see a yellow [COM:] box. this means you are connected and ready. So now all you have to do is hit the start button. Let it run and finish......it will take about 3-5 mins. It will auto-reboot your phone when it is finished. Now all you have to do is update profile and PRL and your good.

Flash modem in CWM
Flash Garwynn Source built kernel for JB.
here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217686

OR

Flash Agat63's source built kernel for JB
here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2244781

Then when you are on that kernel:

Just reboot to recovery
Wipe cache and delvik cache
flash modem
reboot

update profile and PRL


If done properly you will have your baseband show the modem you flashed. You will have data now on a JB ROM. Just make sure to update profile and PRL once its booted up. Either one of these methods will work and you can flash different JB modems to see which one works better. For me personally, GB08 and GB27 modem works the best.

Modems found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Flashing a custom ROM
The biggest thing is make sure to follow the OP directions. They will never steer you wrong. Now that you are booted up and everything works, make sure to update profile and PRL too, your phone is now ready to flash a JB ROM. Now, you will also have a JB modem now with the Full Jelly Bean ROM.
You are going to need a few things handy before you do so.

JB wipe all 2x zip: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077277
(Need to get rid of all data / system files / cache / delvik cache / preload folder)

Seems there are issues with flashing/wiping from agat's or garwynn's kernel/recovery. So, it is recommended to flash with EL26+CWM kernel or EL29 Direct Boot kernel.

EL26 download link : http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ls/Recovery Kernels/GB/Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR

EL29 DB kernel : http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ernels/Recovery Kernels/GB/Noobnl Direct Boot

And then of course the ROM you wish to flash. that brings me to my next portion

when you download anything that you are going to flash. Please check the MD5 Sum and make sure it matches what is posted. I have seen countless issues due to flashing corrupt files. This way you won't have strange issues after you flash it. Ok now that you have the ROM you want......let's flash it.

General steps
(actual steps may vary. Always read and follow the OP directions)

1)Reboot to safe recovery

2)wipe cache and delvik cache

3)navigate to install zip from SD Card

4)Flash JB wipe all 2x zip

5)Flash the ROM

6)when it is done....reboot....be patient


Restoring apps with Titanium Backup : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40979765&postcount=4108
By : JCompMan

That wasn't that painful was it? those steps never failed me. Please if you have issues make sure to follow this. If you are having issues and you followed this to the letter, I will be more than willing to help you. But If you decided to do your own thing and not read....well, that's on you then. TBSGS3/4 has been downloaded over 4000 times and there has only been a handful of issues. Mostly due to people not reading/following the install directions or coming right from ICS or not having the correct modem.

And remember.......Always follow the OP.

I hope this helps and I am open to corrections/addition to this post. I don't have all the answers but this is a community. We help each other, We learn and we grow. :)
