Gingerbread for the Charge coming?

With all these leaked releases looking pretty functional, we must be getting a GB update pretty soon right? Anyone heard any good rumors?

Yes, P3Droid pretty much confirmed it. We should be getting GB soon(hopefully), within the next month.

I asked p3droid about any incoming leaks for the Charge last week. He said to keep my pail handy, so I'm optimistic.

And you should be its not off as far as some seem to think. That said the current file he talks about runs FABULOUS. And no I don't have it but was able to get mine flashed and found out it is the most current he's seen as well.

That's what the developers need now. The source code is needed for ALL AOSP roms.

They don't release the source code for Android itself though (which is under an Apache license), just the GPL components.

EP1Q has been working decent for me but I did get the static on some phone calls today for the first time. I have not been using BT either though.

I'm running an early copy of Gingerbread. Will I need to go back to Froyo to get the official release of GB? I hate to have to freeze and delete the bloatware from Samsung and Verizon twice

That will depend on if we get a leak of the build w/ radios. Everything but the modems can be flashed in CWM after the devs get a hold of it and add root.
If we don't get a odin of the modems, you will have to go back to stock EE4 to recieve the update, I believe. There is always the chance that you will be prompted to update even though you are on GB. You will need to be on RFS file system and have stock recovery to apply the update.

If you want the OFFICIAL GB update, you'll have to be on OFFICIAL EE4 in order to be prompted of the official GB update.

GB source code released. Build EP4D.

OTA is coming by end of month according to tech support.

mmm ep4d wonder what is changed in that hopefully the modem issues.
a leak would be great

It appears to be an older build than what we have. It's apparently based on 2.3.5. not sure if this is the OTA and is more stable, or if this is just something that Samsung released on their own.

this means cm7...right?DDDD

It might help improve the kernel, but I doubt it will get them any closer to the RIL, which is the real holdup.

NO it means nothing except a possible tool to improve the GB release........If you want CM7 then build it yourself

On the cm7 problem. Is the RIL problem that they can't get lte working? Could it be fixed for just 3g maybe? I remember When it came out for the evo. It didn't have 4g or HDMI for a long time.

Its not really a leak now that the source code has been released to the public. This is a very strange situation, though, that it appears to be an earlier build than what was leaked weeks ago.

p3 tweeted me that their leak is newer - also, it is the ver. being pushed OTA by VZW today (i created a thread)
ED4 must be the kernel, EP4 must be refined in some other fashion.

The latest ep4p leak is 2.3.6 and the OTA ep4d is 2.3.5. It's not really that strange at all considering they build iterative builds with constant changes, bug fixes, etc. And a later build can easily have changes that introduced a new bug from a previous build. With iterative agile development this is not strange at all, in fact I fully expect it, as well as fully expect there are even later builds than ep4p.

That makes no sense. The ROM and kernel versions usually match. This is leaving me scratching my head.
My brother's phone is still running an old version of EP1W and I have to wonder if it would be a good idea to upgrade to EP4P or wait. I'm not sure what to do.
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question.

Thank you for the lesson on software development. Could you explain source control to me too?

Any devs that want it can download it from my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360144
I have it as a whole download, just the kernel, or just the platform.

Hey can you help me I am a noob yesterday with some help I flashed clockwork mod then imoseyon 4.0.0 Today being still unhappy found and flashed eg2 Gingerbread stock debloated only to find out its outdated could you at least post the link to flash the latest ep4d?

Should i prepare for the ota?

I know many have said they are gonna flash to stock and stuff for the ota. Is this really necessary? I would need to stay unrooted, which would take restoring my apps out of the question. Won't we have an Odin file on Tuesday anyway? plus I'd hate to not get it on the 1st day.
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App

Never flash an ota while rooted wait for a rooted version usually comes the same day devs are very fast
if I helped in any way hit that thanks button!

Updating ota while rooted could permanently lose root brick phone etc be safe and hold off
if I helped in any way hit that thanks button!

I don't understand the rush to get the OTA. It's an EP4 build, which means is going to be pretty close to the leaks we have right now. If you're rooted, I'd just hold off and wait for someone to post the Odin.
Personally, I'm going to at least wait for the deodexed version and some themes.

Obviously the first 2 didn't read the op. I know you're not supposed to do that. That's why I'm asking, since i really need titanium backup.
Sent from my Gummy Charged GBE 2.1 using XDA App

I understand that if you rooted and flashed a deferent kernel you shouldn't accept the OTA, however I just have root and several Bloatware apps frozen with Titanium Back up..... Can I accept the OTA as long as I unfreeze the apps? I have no custom Roms or themes...All I did was flash SU with oden... I don't even have CWR.
Thanks for the patience with the noob question.

if I remember correctly the OTA will not even go through if you're rooted or have any root apps/permissions as there is a script in the download that checks on boot

I think it depends on the ROM. Some ROMs have the code in them to stop an OTA update but some don't. I've accepted an OTA while rooted before but I was on a stock rooted ROM and all that happened was I lost root. Not saying that the same will happen with this phone though.

We do not have an ODIN file for this build, and we won't unless someone leaks it.
So, if you want the OTA radio's you HAVE to accept the OTA, if you are satisfied w/ EP4P you don't need to do anything. After the OTA is out, someone will post a CWM flashable zip that will give you the ROM/Kernel and keep root.

But does anyone know what the version the OTA is going to be?

The version of source code that was released is EP4D but all anyone knows about the OTA is that it is EP4. The source code that was released and the OTA that is coming are 2 different build versions.

Why release a ROM package yet have different source released?
---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
I just keep wondering if I should go ahead and upgrade my brother's phone now which is running GummyCharged GBE 2.1 which is based upon EP1W to the new EP4P ROM that was leaked or should I wait for a possible new version (newer that EP4P) and load that instead.

In the words of imnuts, it makes perfect sense. Manufacturers like Samsung and such are constantly sending OTA updates to the Carriers. The Carrier chooses what build get's pushed out as the OTA update. It's quite possible that on older source code got released before an "acceptable" OTA get's pushed out.
Here's what I think happened.
Samsung probably had a stable build with EP4D, but there's always room for improvement so they also produced EP4P. Samsung released the source code for EP4D but Verizon decided not to accept the EP4D build and instead are releasing the EP4P build as the OTA (if in fact the OTA is the EP4P build, no one knows.)
Again, I want everyone reading this to know that this is just my opinion and I am in now way stating all this as fact. So remember that before you reply telling me that I'm wrong.
As to updating your brothers phone, it really wouldn't hurt. After the OTA is released you could always go back to stock then load the OTA. That's up to you and your brother though. Just saying if he ends up not liking the EP4P build or something, it's really not that hard to just change it to something else. (Just a little time consuming is all.)

OK, that sort of makes sense.
But... if you were in my position, spc_hicks09, would you upgrade from GummyCharged GBE 2.1 or would you wait? I've already got my Droid Charge running EP4P and it runs great.
So what do you think? Should I just bite the bullet and load EP4P on his phone?

Honestly, I would. However, that's just because I'm the type of person that has to always try to get the latest and greatest lol. I would go ahead an upgrade to the EP4P, if the OTA seems better, then you could always just go back down to stock EE4 then upgrade to the OTA.

I definitely hope the rooted version of the OTA comes out pretty quickly after the release of the regular OTA. I've been loving these other gingerbread releases

Danalo said he will be updating Humble within the next week!

last I heard from p3droid that its the other way around, EP4D (2.3.5) is the update being pushed out and EP4P is the newest one that I guess they didn't want/approve or whatever

AT&T Offically Announce GB for Captivate!

I know that this is not a developmental release or a custom built ROM but I thought the community might like to see this.....AT&T officially releases GB for our Captivates!

Unfortunately, the notice indicates it is KK4, but the source has also been posted at http://opensource.samsung.com. Let the fun begin....again.

The source has been out for a while now...I'm thinking a few weeks, at least.

Has anyone checked to see whether this KK4 is the same as what was leaked two months ago - there's always the possibility of slipstreamed changes without reversioning, especially since there are definite bugs that remain in the leaked version, e.g., the kernel crashes when too many apps are are installed to SD.
At a minimum, given that the linked instructions describe this as a full wipe, the ROM is packaged differently than the previous leaks.

LOL. couldn't have come at a better time! /sarcasm

Anyone got an alternate mirror in the event the Kies Mini upgrade fails for me, as it did previously when I tried to upgrade to Froyo? It would be a nice backup in the event I need to go back to stock (assuming, although I probably shouldn't, that in the two months since KK4 leaked, something had to get updated.

God do I miss bln.

Then is there anyone working on a custom kernel based on KK4? If it has been out for a few weeks, I would have expected a thread or 2 by now with BLN and voodoo sound. Developer interest seems to be waning for our cappy's.

Just a warning This is all over, so I'm sure they all know about it. Hopefully it'll bring some stability to our Captivate ROMs (they won't have to be based on I9000 now, although I have no idea what else the I9000 functionality brings). I am not a developer, just an educated user.

This is the same Rom/Kernel developers have been working on for the last month, so yes there is a lot of custom kernel, but none with BLN or voodoo color due to lack of source for it.

I have a hard time believing ATT would release such an unstable release. It just can't be the same KK4 leaked back in November. It is inconcievable.

Upgraded my cappy without a hitch.. Unfortunately, it was then powered off and put back in my Galaxy SII box (now my backup phone)

Most recent stock OTA?

I've been rooted for a long time using thunderstick full blown on 0.01.78.0906w_2 with imoseyon-6.1.0GBS+
Was just wondering when the most recent OTA occurred and how much better the performance might be over this rooted ROM. I'm getting a galaxy s iii in a few weeks but was just wondering what was going on with this phone, officially from HTC.
Thanks

In my opinion you're on the most stable radios, some of the mr4 radios do pretty good if you want I'll post a link for both as they are not a package. As i am going to the big boy S3 i wouldn't worry about it too much, bout one more week

I've not paid attention to OTA since rooting mine a long time ago as well, and am also wondering what the latest OTA is? (GB, ICS? Version? etc.)

The most recent stock OTA is Gingerbread version 2.11.605.19 710RD. More information on specific changes are at link below:
