EPIC 4G System Dump! - Epic 4G Android Development

So this just popped up on twitter from Android Central forums!
Samsung Epic system dump!
MOD EDIT: http://www.4shared.com/file/dgE_26tO/Epic4G-system-dump.html
I wasn't expecting a dump to show up so quickly, but I'm hoping it means we get some development right when the phone comes out the gates!
I'm downloading the dump now in case it gets pulled!

I smell a before release working root! :Well nevermind

And it has begun. *giddy with excitement*

Yes! I'm still gonna wait a minimum of maybe 2 weeks to root to make sure that all parts/software are functioning as they should... but it seems like there are people already compiling roms!

You can undo root by flashing stock rom.

Alternate download location linked in this thread, just in case the original file gets pulled. Let the hacking begin, and pass some of that goodness to us Captivate owners too.

I found some in system/app/launcher/res/drawable-hdpi and depending on how touchwiz works there might be more in the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk as well...

What are the names of those wall papers? I looked through that directory and was having trouble finding them...

They all start with "wallpaper " , are you sure you are in the right file?
sent from a sliding hero

Thanks, you were right. I was in the framework directory lol

Forget what I said.
The rom was for AT&T upcoming Galaxy Tablet (SGH-I987)...

Thats the Captivate isnt it?

Can you post the DL link in the thread?

[dev] OTA_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.4-1.23.405.1_release_signed

Hi, today my g1 with my legend rom download this update.... any dev want to use it??
legend update
MD5: 2EC28B412FF142380B8148301EE2B046
or where I can find an "how to" to use it??
for not dev DO NOT FLASH!!! IT'S ONLY FOR HTC LEGEND!!
do i just flash this over your other legend rom?
no..it's not an update for my rom....but is an OTA update...
It's probably just the Market Update. The Legend Market was missing some apps. If it's an OTA, I would Flash it over in Recovery with No-Wipe.
patch updates
These patch updates can be a pain in the arse.. so far the only way I've found to use them is to modify the updater-script to bypass the security checks, and make sure its not "updating" or changing something I don't want it to, resign, and apply the update. Than once its done pull the nand image off the phone, unpack it, convert it to an update.zip so the rest of the world can enjoy.. maybe there's a better way but that's the best I can offer.
does this help in any way?
i mean... there are .p files in it. probably patching the original ones... anybody knows how to apply it?

Dude.. one post up. I just told you.
I did this back when cupcake got its crc patch ota update I just didn't share it with the world.. enomther did.
The OTA is actually for upgrades to the system which is going to allow for better performance with the use of certain apps. Some apps will also be upgraded as well.
I received the OTA today, and that what was suggested in the message I received.
However the download failed to install to my SDcard. Instead my phone automatically went into recovery, and just rebooted from there.
I'm still receiving the option to update via OTA. I just check off "Install Later".
If this is only for the Legend how come it's in a thread for the G1 Delsa. I got confused for a minute...lol...

This is good because we don't have to extract an RUU anymore, unfortunately the apps are odexed.
Nevermind, this is useless. It's just a whole bunch of patch (.p) files... pointless. move on people, or get to work extracting the RUU (find in legend forums)

[WIP] FROYO SENSE 10/3 I need some help.

This is a video of how the rom is progressing
This is not available for download. If you want me to upload it, let me know in the thread.
I'm excited to see this developing for the g1. Thanks to everyone who's helped and the guys in the HERO CDMA forum. nfinitefx45.
Thanks,

This rom is Half booting, it starts to odex the frameworks and then says that
media.audio_flinger
media.player
media.camera
media.audio_policy
all died. boo hoo.
Here's what i've done, i've smashed together a cm6 kernel and a ramdisk from a 2.1 hero rom, which shouldn't make it not work.
However, some of the libs may be outdated for froyo.
Thanks to capychimp for the base, his one for magic works?!
Thanks to cyanogen for the kernel
Link: only click this if you know how to use logcat and fool around with stuff inside a rom:
Thanks for any help. Again i'll state this only half-boots, it's not usable. unless you like using your phone as a rechargable light-up paperweight when using this rom. All it shows is the boot screen.

I own a Droid Eris as well as the G1. Developer punk.kaos over in the Eris forum has ported Sense/Froyo to the Eris. I believe he got it from the HTC Wildfire. It works, but its in the 'beta' stage right now. It has resolution issues as well as camera issues. I'm sure Kaos will get these sorted out soon. Check the Wildfire forums for it.

Got it. Uploading probably won't work for mt3g. I currently am using mtd partitions with everything moved onto /system.
I'm uploading one, however, that puts app_s on sd-ext and framework in /data, so there's no need for mtd partitions.

[DEV] Gingerbread 2.3 [DEV]

Update: Alright guys, after collaborating with others on the port it seems we have hit a wall. The nexus s doesn't use our adreno egl drivers and instead uses newer drivers. The drivers are needed and we can't call on adreno drivers without errors. Because of this, we are putting a stop currently on development as first and foremost we need the build to be usable. The inc devs seem to have hit the same road block. We need a nexus one dump or source to move forward. Until then. :tips hat:
This is a dev rom. Things are still broken. Please don't play unless you realize this. If your boot hangs, try a dalvik wipe.
Note to devs:
-homescreen still slow (using ns EGL libs right now)
-no sound, sound crashes on boot
-dont have time to test more
-no wifi
-data works (browser force close on google boot)
Gingerbread Download: http://www.brieflygeek.com/downloads/project/gingerbread0321CT.zip
Thanks to the devs on the inc forums!
Patch: http://www.brieflygeek.com/downloads/project/flashpatch.zip
Flash this right after flashing gingerbread, same session

Good luck trying to port this... you're gonna have hell of time. The problem is that us EVO users are currently using 2.2 and the Nexus ROM's are built on 2.3; the lib files and bins will more than like fail if you try to boot.
I would wait until the 2.3 AOSP source is released to try and do a proper boot.
Porting different versions of Android especially from different manufacturers is a huge *****... believe me, I know... right Barnacles?
Edit:: I take back some of what I said... apparently it can be done, with some problems -- looking into right now with some other devs; will update later.

ICS Leak Sysdump [Pointless: see edited OP for more useful link]

Are you saying you tried to flash a Gingerbread (UCLA3) kernel over the ICS leak?
If so, re-flash the leaked rom and start over. (and do it while you're phone is still working...run!!!)
The new kernel should be available in cwm flashable form within a couple of days (maybe a day or less, but this is new and different from gingerbread kernels).
EDIT: Available NOW thanks to icenight89!!! See post below...

[Q] Stock rooted ROM

I wanted to ask how I could go about taking a rom.zip (pulled from an RUU) and turn it into a stock rooted rom. The phone flashing would be rooted, of course
And if possible, for that process, is it generic? As in, would it work for any phone/stock rom? Or only shift?

Well it would be stock Shift so unless modded it would only work for the Shift. Not sure what you're trying to do.

Well what I mean is if I took an equivalent rom.zip from the RUU for another device, then I want to be able to follow generally the same process to make it a stock rom that won't compromise root

Good luck with that, it seems like you are doing way too much work for what you are trying to achieve (which I am still a little confused on). Essentially you are trying to port a "stock" ROM from another device, and then rooting it... why go thru all the trouble? That sounds like a headache for no reason. What is the device you are taking the RUU from? Why not just port a rooted stock ROM? Like RemICS for example is basically the stock ROM for the SGS3.

Wait what...noooo thats not what I mean lol
What I'm asking is that lets say I have stock rom.zip for some device, how do I make a rooted version of that rom.zip (no porting, no other mods)
All I want to do is basically be able to reset everything to stock using that rom.zip, but without losing root on the device I'm flashing to
So like this:
Device N's rom.zip > rooted rom.zip for device N > flash rooted rom.zip to device N
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2
You want to pull the stock Rom out of an RUU, and use it sort of as a wipe Rom? Does that about sound right ?

Once at the run box type %temp% and hit enter, then find the location of ROM.zip and move it out to the Desktop and close the RUU.exe. now inside the ROM.zip are a few images the RUU uses to flash, so now your gonna wanna take the boot.img and system.img and place them in dsixda kitchens original update folder, then open the dsixda kitchen in cmd and setup a working folder from a ROM and choose the boot.img and system.img. once that's done use the options to add root and busyboox, maybe data/app if you want and that's your rooted stock ota zip :beer:

Too good
I knew I had to use dsixda's kitchen because I saw someone mention that in a post but they didn't specify...
But awesome, thanks strapped

Not a problem, anything else I'm floating around somewhere most of the time and get email notifications.

Hey guys, I just asked a question to the EVO folks the I remembered this thread is where I got the idea. What I've done is what Strapped said and took the ROM from the ruu for the EVO and ran it through dsixda's kitchen. It's been running great on my EVO 4g but this morning I had some time and thought I would do some themeing and found there is no systemUI.apk? I even went back to the kitchen and rechecked what I had done earlier but there just isn't one that I can find. Has anyone heard of this before? I would think that with that missing it shouldn't be working at all right?
That doesn't sound right . Are you sure your seeing all the files? I had this happen once, I did not have my settings correct on the Laptop.

Yea I'm sure. Could it be hidden somehow? Maybe in some odd folder... No one at the EVO is taking me seriously assuming I'm asking a noon like question. :-/
Edit: just for fun, I flashed a modded systemUI last night for this and its in there but nothing has changed. It's the weirdest thing I've come across Android wise.
EDIT2: is it possible the file got mixed in with something else when I deodexed it?
Edit3: I just went through the process again (I'm off work until tomorrow) and there is still no systemUI.apk? What settings on the laptop were you refering to? I can see that file in other ROMs. This is just odd...
Edit4: Ive been looking into this further and I am finding the icons from the systemUI mixed in both the system/framework/framework-res.apk and system/framework/com.htc.rescources.apk so I'm guessing somehow I mixed things together...
That is some creepy stuff
As in how it somehow got chucked in a blender with the framework files

I can't figure it out. I'd upload it for folks to look at but its for the EVO 4g and no one there is interested.

There are still a lot of users, just not many devs... and most of the users are noobs

Glad you got it sorted. Had way to much on the plate today. Sorry I couldn't get back to you. Had a messed up day.

Yes it is. Quite a few Newbs . Hopefully some will step up and start doing for the community. As happened in the Shift community .

It's understandable, anymore it is a relatively cheap device to obtain for a starter into Android. I just wish people would read and search before posting... that should be a rule. And this guy (me) should be getting an OG soon.

Nice . Glad to hear that. As for the reading thing. It is oh so true . But unfortunately most do it later, than sooner.
