This thread is meant to be used to help with the progress of the FB17 and FB09 leaks. Thanks to everyone who has pooled together.

--------------------------------------------

FB17:

Working: 3g, 4g, Wifi, Bluetooth, MMS, SMS, Face Unlock

Sketchy: GPS (not working for all), No root, No recovery

MANY PEOPLE are having issues with .zip file, so it is recommended to use the .TAR files for FB17. Flash at your own risk, as always!

All needed files are here: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?4961-Samsung-Epic-4g-Touch-FB17

--------------------------------------------

FB09 (OLD):

Working: 3g + 4g, Wifi, Bluetooth, Face Unlock

Not Working:
MMS (Workaround, use GoSMS from the Market).

CWM Recovery (Workaround, use ROM Manager to install CWM on a GSII (not E4GT) and you'll have a permanent recovery to make backups, flash other ROMs, etc...).

Loss of Service (Wordaround, keep your 4g on - even if you don't get 4g coverage - this seems to stop LOS from occuring).

GPS (No known work around yet)

Some tips:

Keyboard Issues? Go to settings > input & keyboard > default keyboard and change it to Swype to start. That will get rid of the laghag that Samsung has delivered us. Then you can grab a keyboard from the market or sideload one. Or just stick with Swype as it's working fine.

If you want ICS looking icons until a theme is released, download ROM TOOLBOX PRO and you can switch out icons.

EL29 seems to be working best for most, so I'd recommend using that when coming to this ROM.

GO SMS works for sending MMS as a work-around for the time being.

Need to go back to stock? Try a different kernel? All located here: http://115media.net/scarmon25/Epic4GTouch/

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, specifically Shabby Penguin and ACS!

What about using the FB09 Kernel that was on your site this morning?

I nabbed it while I was on, so I'll try ODIN'ing that.

    A little for you guys to drool over, it's definitely more stable & finished off than FB09 is but before everyone bombards me with PM & request, I'm leaving to go to a b-day party and won't be back till late, so don't expect this until tomorrow

    ill be upfront and honest im fairly familiar with boot.img kernels (every single other OEM) i havent messed with zimage's too mcuh (touchwiz) and even more so with the sgs2 where they completely changed crap around.. i do however know of some people that are already looking into it :) tanimn of ACS (he helped root the e4gt) and Thomasskull666. many og epic owners may remember them for their awesome sauce kernels

    so chances are by tonight yall will have ics with cwm ;)
