What is with the rash of wrong section posting lately...
if you have enough posts to post in development, you have been here long enough to know this goes in q&a, and to know to look at some stickies or something first.. i know the search sucks, but come on...

I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.

you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

Mod edit: Profane language not needed...

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.

musikalharmony said:
Don't be an asshole chris. I didn't know that or id put it there wouldn't you think so there for keep your comments to yourself. Its never that serious
All you had to say is next time post in q&a. Anyway thank you qbking and everyone else

i dont care, sometimes i am an asshole, but i just say what comes to mind.. not meaning to come off as an asshole.. just dont sugar coat things.. its not a personal attack of any sort.

Cool. I will check out the videos. But thus far GB seems unstable and laggy.

Don't blame you man. The questions he asked he could of found in the same time it took him to actually post his question. You were nice enough to help him and post links, I just cant do that with some people who to me have to be lazy if they can;t find simple stuff. Two question in Q&A today can someone post a link to Decks rom -Really? and this one.. There are a million stock rooted roms in Development and I bet ya Google would of helped him as well...
sorry did not mean to rant.... I'm out!
Ok guys don't blast me. I haven't been on this page in like 2 days because of work. Thanks for finding those links for me Shorty. I don't have the ability to surf the site on PC and it takes too long to surf on the phone and its even more complicated to surf on the app. I thank everyone who helps me on here cuz I know others take time out of the things they have to do to help people like me. Sorry for not replying to this sooner. Its not my fault I work all the time.

Don't start that flaming crap, just left the 3d and most of the threads are filled with flame this and flame that. Just sick of people talking **** because they don't approve of the location the op might have chose either on purpose or accident. Just saying that this forum is a nice change where you actually get help or learn something by reading the thread instead of following 9 million different arguments over bull.

With the impending release of the MTD version of CM7 utilizing YAFFS2 format, CM9 will be a real possibility for the Epic, although probably a ways out. CM7 is coming along nicely, but still not officially supported, so I assume it will be a while. QBKing77 posted a video in General about the MTD/YAFFS2 file system and the benefits....More to come...
@Adam thanks, I wasn't trying to be rude just cause I'm new doesn't mean I'm a noob... ya know? I must have searched the wrong things. Thank you

To follow up on your original questions that adam didn't quite touch on...
Those items are notated in the CM7 thread in our dev forum as having known issues. You, as an well informed/read user of CM7, should go into flashing this rom knowing those listed features will not work 100%--if at all.
Ahh good to know, it works great. Do you possibly know wheb BETA will be relased?

If the actual creators of it posted it then yes it should. However, there are still issues with it and the first few posts would do nothing but confuse people who see it for the first time. It should be closed or moved until an actual dev or someone who knows what they're doing can provide some support as an OP.

I'm with this. While I like the look of TWRP I think till the bugs are worked out I'll be sticking with what actually has been working for me and not causing any issues. The last thing I need is a bricked phone before I leave for a 2 week trip tomorrow.

Ive kept track of the skyrocket side.The response has been thoroughly negative. He posted the first vid and people in the skyrocket forum responded with "fake" and "I already got that far" or " whats the point"
A week or two later he got flamed by a lot of the newer devs in the skyrocket dev forum about not releasing source code even though it was even in alpha. In this thread he was also accused of "kanging".How does one kang ICS for this device?
Not very welcoming from the start. It was also, the rules pretty much allow offsite linking if registration is not required which is currently the case but the rules where extended and not applied site wide.
