Got tired of waiting for Sprint used your update. THANK YOU! all works great. my question and comment. I had screen capture before on GB by holding volume + power just as you describe now (not home + power or volume). But now I can't get it to work at all. ?? Any idea how to turn shutter sound off on cam. Even when ringer is muted it still sounds. ANNOYING. The fast scroll jump issue, actually if you use the slide bar at side it works great to scroll, and then use flick to go top or bottom.

Alex DiRaffaele commented on 12 Aug 2012

I've tried every conceivable method to correct the battery life issues with this update and i have not been successful. The battery percentage is essentially a timer in minutes now. With consistent use, i can get about 4-5 hours. Taking it really easy and disabling every feature on the phone takes it to about 8 hours. GB overnight, 100% to 96% by morning, ICS, 100% to %70... unless i'm sleep texting or something, it's just pathetic. Back on GB, all radios on, live background, 16 hours+.

Jim Evans commented on 30 Aug 2012

hello i like some of the update but having a few problems hope i can get some answers first i have set all my ringtones for certain apps but then everything resets to default its the same with the screen timeout ill set it to 2 min but then after awhile it will go back to 15 sec. and final when i am on a phone call and i take it away from my ear it stays black untill the other end hands up or i press the lock button

juan sevilla commented on 24 Jul 2012

Carrie Rice commented on 21 Aug 2012

I enjoy the new update. However I did not manually update. I did the update thru sprint. Everything seems to work ok, except when I am on a phone call, My sms ringtone plays very loudly. I have searched and searched and have no idea how to fix this. It is very annoying. I shouldnt have to turn my volume down for my ringtone to get this not to play when using the phone. Please any advice..!!!

Slink Johnson commented on 08 Aug 2012

Hey qbking, I'm not feeling this update! Could you please tell me how to return my rooted E4GT to stock specs? It was running Gingerbread 2.3.6 when I rooted it (following your video, thank you very much) and later, I updated to ICS 4.0.4, which I am not satisfied with! Now I wanna go back to straight stock, no root, no ICS 4.0.4! Please help! It would be greatly appreciated!

MickBurkellc commented on 29 Jul 2012

Great video, I'm curios though, I REALLY like the ICS native interface over the samsung, but have found when I use it I don't get any numeric indicators on the email or text message icons indicating new messages. I do get them under the samsung interface. Is that not something inherent to the OS? Is there a way to add that functionality to the ICS interface?

Kyle McEvoy commented on 07 Feb 2013

With FL24 coming out, another ICS update, I really dont know if it will ever see JB... It should, the phone is far from outdated. There were 2 leaked builds for the device, both were buggy, and then they release ANOTHER ICS update... At this point, its really hard to tell. I hope they do, but simply do not know anymore. -QbHelper

bquick2blame commented on 27 Jul 2012

Thanks for the video, great job as always! I just gotta give my 2 cents worth I don't have a battery issue just it seems that my wimax speeds got WAY slower I was getting 6-10 down now I'm lucky to get over 1 down. I flashed back to el29 and speeds were back to normal. Went back to ics and again super slow wimax uggg :-(

zodak2002 commented on 23 Jul 2012

Done that, and also called Sprint and did the trouble shooting with them. What do you suggest? I had custom Roms installed in the past and never had this happened before, but I liked this update so I went back to stock and did the manual update. I can't think of what could've went wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

slimshady0810 commented on 17 Aug 2012

hey so i got the update but for some reason all the apps been crashing and freezing and my email isnt working. do u know anyway i can fix that? i put my email n password and it loads and thats it. i dont see anything else...not liking the update much ..

Neil Gillette commented on 27 Jul 2012

You are only person I am subscribed to. You have great information, thanks. I updated my phone, along with my wife's and daughters. Update to ICS went great however all of our phones battery life went downhill more than 50%. Please help

ponfirta1 commented on 22 Aug 2012

I placed a contact on my blacklist on Gingerbread. I got the ICS upgrade the next day. Now, I cannot figure out how to remove contact from blacklist on ICS, so I can receive the contact's calls again. Is there a fix for this?

naireland commented on 02 Aug 2012

Google Chrome does work just not all too well. I don't have force close problems so much as freezing during mundane browsing. It is usable but I would wait until after beta for anyone who gets frustrated easily.

david simon commented on 14 Aug 2012

Yo qbking7 2da 7 i got two questions, by the way thanks bro!.. How can i get the pushed sprint ics update notafaction alert to go away? Also im running blazer rom 4.1 on the el29 kernal witch i love however if i flashed back to stock and did go ahead and stock update to ics will i be able to reflash the same blazer rom 4.1 (if i wanted to without reversingback to el29) or would i want a differnt custom rom anyhow? i have to admit the hotspot is important (real hotspot w/sprint hotspot) thx!

david simon commented on 14 Aug 2012

Much luv from the Bay Area legandary qbking77 Can I get sprint update push to stop asking me to update? Im on el29 running blazer rom 4.1 and love it! Stock hotspot huge for me so my question is what if any roms will work when and if i decide to go back to stock and update to stock ICS? For example will the same blazer 4.1 im using now on el29 be able to be flashed? Or will it not be compatible? And if not what rom would rock w/sprint hotspot working vs 3rd party hotspots (are not as good)?

MasonicScholar commented on 04 Aug 2012

Because I recieved the update before my wife, we both own s2's, she was constantly playing with my phone and bugging me by asking, when will she get the update. Thx for your video! I was able to download the file directly to my ics running phone from your link, then transfered via wifi direct. Moved file to her ext sd card after renaming to "update" and followed your easy boot up instructions. Thanks again!

david simon commented on 03 Sep 2012

Qbking77 wut up What's the best from for stock 4.0.4 and root method? Also used titanium backup on other phone and my wife'sd card is showing" blank or files don't match" as of now titanium has really hurt us by losing or data on external and keeps pushing us to format????? Any input or tips? The back up was created running the black from and I changed from to.a.GB from and now.SD card data issue arised???

Jayme Barton commented on 02 Sep 2012

I manually updated ff18 before then I went all the way back to EL29 (long story) and didn't update back to FF18. I am now running cm10AOSP jellybean. I don't want to flash everything all over again if I don't have to. Is there a way to just get my baseband and build to ff18 version without starting from scratch. is it really needed because being stock el29 doesn't seem to make it lag

Circask8ter1613 commented on 29 Jul 2012

When i apply the update. I get the android guy with the exclamation point. It starts to load the progress bar. Then stops and goes back to the android guy. I let it sit for a pretty long time. Not sure what to do. It happened before, I yanked the batt and it just booted back into el29. Any ideas?

Hope T. aka Mzprttybrwneyez commented on 02 Aug 2012

Thanks a million. I did mine and it went thru without a hitch. Only thing was I had to hold my buttons, let go, then do it again for my recovery mode to come up. I didn't lose any apps, contacts, or text messages and I have a new screen when in lock mode (it changed). Loving it! Thanks again

Adam Harris commented on 10 Sep 2012

HELP!!!! I was automatically pushed to FH13 from FF18 and now my phone restarts into safe mode and looses widgets several times a day! I never had an issue on FF18, I was thinking about going to the ASOP JB rom but im wary cus its still in alpha. Please Help your the man!

shewmaker360 commented on 03 Aug 2012

Well, this update has screwed up my message notifications, screwed up a couple of games, has an annoying lag or delay, and won't let my battery charge to a 100%. It's no longer rooted either. I assume it being rooted before the update helped contribute to all the errors.

Joey Walnuts commented on 07 Aug 2012

QBKING quick question i already did the update so i have 2 questions. 1. does this void my warranty with Samsung? 2. have you heard of any issues with the phone restarting on its own after the update. my phone restarts every day on its own.

Hector Vazquez commented on 02 Mar 2013

Hi.! I'm following your videos to root my S2 Epich Touch, but, I am on FL24... So, do I need to do what's in this video tu upgrade to FF18, or can I just follow your other video to root FF18, even if I am on FL24.? Thank you (Y)

stlnation commented on 08 Aug 2012

i have a stock s2 with el29. i downloaded the update renamed to update.zip. i tried to update and i am stuck at the android icon with the the ! in a triangle. nothing has changed in 30 minutes. what should i do now?

Jeffrey Matthews commented on 22 Sep 2012

I have version 4.0.4, build number IMM76I.FE10 on my rooted Epic 4G Touch. Will the upgrade you did work for me without returning to stock ROM first? If so, where do I get the .zip file you used in you video?

Tiler Knight commented on 09 Sep 2012

I am running android 4.1.1 jb on my sprint epic 4g touch, and i really want to downgrade back to ics 4.0.4 how would i do that just download this zip and gapps or what i really need help qbking.

Ednel De Asis commented on 27 May 2012

i like it a lot. it's the rom with the longest battery life i ever tried so far. but right now, no matter what i do, it won't let me go into my gallery and camera anymore because it always says "no external storage availabe". even though i checked the "Use Internal Storage" in the storage configuration :( any fixes to this?

TSkeptic commented on 01 May 2012

im tryin this rom since yesterday and i have to say is very stable. Much better than foxhound or resurrection. just i wish there is a screen rotation toggle in notification center

AbyssTrion commented on 30 Apr 2012

I have to say that D4 Rom is better. The Dev is just awesome and you get awesome features :-) Beside, it's completely Stable and EVERYTHING works for me :-)

DirtyPants69 commented on 28 Apr 2012

User Comments

FoxHound Agent commented on 22 May 2012

Last winter, I rooted my Samsung Epic Touch 4G with a custom ROM. I forget the name of it, but it was one that made almost every icon and the background blue. Everything worked flawlessly but recently my phone's power button stopped working. Took it to a repair shop, and they said that the hardware functions properly and that it HAS to be a software issue. Have you heard anything like this occuring to rooted phones, and how can it be fixed? (couldnt find the message button on ur user page)

Levord1980 commented on 18 May 2012

@qbking77 also try doing your scrolling with a lighter flick to the screen to scroll. I've noticed that if you flick it lightly, it scrolls lightly... It seems to respond "Greatly" to the actual sensitivity of the stroke you use to scroll, trying to pinpointif you want to scroll fast or slow... Give it a try and tell me what you think.. If you see what I see I want another video made, giving me props for figuring it out! Lol!

MRMANN143 commented on 18 May 2012

The 4g turning off is not a bug... Sprints 4g service here in NYC is so spotty that if you move an inch it will cut off... If you remain in the coverage area it will sleep displaying "zzz" above it until you open an app that requires it's usage... I like the scroll it's very responsive to the touch, flick it hard and it scroll to the moon but less aggressive taps will get it where it needs to be

Levord1980 commented on 18 May 2012

@qbking77 If you check it out and pay attention to the other apps with the scrolling issue, even the "YouTube" app does it as well. Go to comment on a YouTube video, and flick it like you do in the "about phone" section. It does the same speedy scroll.... I think it's standard.. Have a look see, and see if you agree...

Ricacalderonxxx commented on 18 May 2012

Yea the bug on the contacts has been fixed in this leacked EF16 the "cut part" down in multitasking fixed just when you have just max 3 app open! The benchmarks is the same on EF10 but is like 35% better than the EF07 so yea EF16 its a lil better and no bugs

MRMANN143 commented on 18 May 2012

I will be trying this when i get home tonight... Havr anyone that has tried this leak already run into any problems with opening the contacts app like I'm having on fe10???? And is it an ics thing that the home screens don't go into landscape mode???

MrGmonko commented on 25 May 2012

What rom should I use on my D700 that will be fast and that the hotspot that works?Right now I'm using SleeperROM_2.0.04_EL30 and keeps asking to update to FC09 and this rom is OK but if you think that theres a better rom I would like to know. thkz

Ken Kruzan commented on 18 May 2012

The build looks good. Scrolling is not a problem to me. I too notice the gap on the previous app screen. One bug that I note is that the integration between the Social hub and the stock email program causes the email program to stop.

That Future commented on 18 May 2012

Do we know if the wallpaper is still stuck on "fix" or if they changed it back to scrolling? I've even tried different ROMS and launchers and they all seem to have the wallpaper stuck or fixed in one position

David Ortega commented on 18 May 2012

If I'm coming from a ROM like AOKP will I be OK to Odin the root PRESERVE. I mean I don't mind if i lose my data I just dont want to mess anything up. Oh yeah keep up the amazing work. You the man QBKing!

l00tur commented on 17 May 2012

I think it's a 4g WiMAX bug, it happens to me when I go into WiMAX areas and I'm running complete stock GB rom. It also appears that signal sleeps if you aren't using it. I think it's a 4G/WiMax thing.

Jayme Barton commented on 21 May 2012

To answer the ? About if anyone likes the scrolling when you flick the screen. I don't like it the only benefit is its quicker to jump to top or bottom of page. Its annoying I hope they change it

Brenda Estrada commented on 21 May 2012

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but are you able to do a screen cap on the phone once you're running this? I just tried w/the home/power button option and wont do a screen shot :(

Matthew Winn commented on 28 May 2012

Android OS is constantly running about 30-35% in battery... normal? Is there a way to lower that %?? I havent noticed any Wi-fi or 4G issues, i have been running .FE16 for 3 days now.

AOKP ICS ROM for AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777! [Android 4.0.4]

User Comments

Todd Maddex commented on 11 Oct 2012

7. NFL Fantasy Football app doesn't work at all on this rom. This is a dealbreaker people. lol. 8. When using voice to text feature, the app I am talking/texting in often locks up. It's almost unusable...this happens nearly 30% of the time. That's the main stuff I can think of right now. I really like the custom apps on the lock screen, wireless hotspot functionality and the "hit back to kill an app" feature. But other than those...I'd probably pass on this rom.

Todd Maddex commented on 11 Oct 2012

3. Battery life is worse than stock ICS even though I am using the brightness very low. 4. Torch on power button is the dumbest thing ever. This seems cool, but about 4 or 5 seconds into using your flashlight...the phone shuts down. 5. Apps randomly crash - like the youtube app crashed when I had most of this list already written using my phone. 6. Custom alarm clock lost ability to do stopwatch and timer so needed to get another app to do these things.

cypherix93 commented on 15 Apr 2012

Wifi settings are kind of tricky... u have to long press on the toggle in the notifications panel... its weird they dont have a setting option... they have one for mobile data... and for Google accounts, go into Accounts and Sync in Settings... or if you open up Market/Google Play for the first time, it will ask for account... :) hope it helps

cypherix93 commented on 15 Apr 2012

It works for me... weird o.O wait, maybe its a glitch in the 9th April update, I updated to the 11th April build release yesterday... forum. xda-developers. com/showthread. php?t=1574718 Quoting from the changelog - 4-11-2012 ... Fixed Capacitive Lights (Shouldn't need any workaround now) ... I think this is the fix... I could be wrong...

Damien Hong commented on 12 Apr 2012

after flashing a rom on my galaxy s2 i9100, i found that i was unable to send texts on my phone. This problem is limited to texting, as i can make and receive voice calls. I tried flashing back to a stock rom, but this problem was still present. anyone know what im doing wrong or can do to fix this issue? thanks in advance ;)

cypherix93 commented on 16 Apr 2012

use Titanium Backup dude... and backup everything... but be careful, restore only missing apps after you flash... DO NOT restore system apps+data... And once u get the AOKP ROM installed, u can only flash the new updates on top of them, no need of full wipe [although task650 recommends a full wipe, there are reasons]...

Todd Maddex commented on 11 Oct 2012

I've been using this Rom for about a month now and want to post my review. 1. The phone randomly reboots when swiping the unlock screen (using 8 custom apps on this screen). 2. Messaging app randomly doesn't allow my typing to show up and can't send messages. I have to kill the texting app and reload it to continue.

cypherix93 commented on 15 Apr 2012

I tried out the ROM, it's freaking amazing!! And fast too!! There were a few glitches though, like Absolute System Tools wouldn't install and any way I can get the phone's audio to be routed through my desktop dock?? I need it cuz I listen to music from my phone... Thanks and if u didnt get this ROM yet, GET IT!!

VanillaCracker commented on 23 Apr 2012

how is this slower than GB or have less battery life? Lol Gingerbread is slow as shit and the battery life is sub par. I've observed faster speed and better battery life. Honestly if they designed ICS to be slower and more consuming than GB, then they'd be stupid to begin with. They wouldn't, and didn't do that.

JSantana319 commented on 18 Apr 2012

Don't worry about it. I went back to Gingerbread because is a lot more stable and the new ICS drains the battery like crazy and also because I found Gingerbread to be much faster for now. I'm sure in the future update that ICS will be way faster, but for now I'll stick to Gingerbread. Thanks anyway :)

VanillaCracker commented on 23 Apr 2012

I've used this for a couple days now. Battery life is good. Although I'm coming from MIUI haha.. Lasts the whole day easy, it's better than average for a rom, concerning battery life, however I wouldn't expect it to last 2 full days. It is pure android experience...as is most other roms.

cypherix93 commented on 16 Apr 2012

wait shouldnt play store be included in the gapps zip? did you flash the gapps zip after flashing the update? you gotta flash the gapps everytime u flash an update... thats what task650 told me... :)) hope that helps... and its best not to install system apps through apks...

Erik Muller commented on 12 Apr 2012

Is there anyway to use touchwiz with this? I can tell you love the Apex look but im leaning towards the touchwiz. And yes please work on the Official leaked ICS problem from your other vid! Thats what im using now. The one where you lose your root. Thanks max

JSantana319 commented on 23 Apr 2012

I had the wrong rom of ICS for the Galaxy S2, which I don't even remember the exact one. The battery on Gingerbread 2.3.5 is really good on the S2. I got the Galaxy S2 i9100 and now I'm running ICS XXLPQ, which is very smooth and now I'm pleased with it.

GRAFHC commented on 14 Jul 2012

You mentioned having poor cell connection in your area, 3G/4G... that would explain some of the battery loss you experienced overnight. Anytime the signal is weak the phone struggles trying to keep that connection alive and will drain out the battery searching for signal through the night.

tai302 commented on 19 Jul 2012

you can install manually. just check out qbking77 on youtube and hell show you how to do it manually. i did it and it took a little over 8 minutes for me. And if your battery life seems bad and processoer seems laggy do a factory reset

tai302 commented on 19 Jul 2012

do a factory reset for your phone and the battery life will return to normal. i did it for mine about two days ago and its pretty much the same as when i was on gingerbread. its always good to have a fresh start with ics

vicdmise commented on 10 Aug 2012

Fair and complete review, but mumbling and quick speech make it a bit difficult to understand. If you watch those on follow up reviews, you've got a winner. Thanks for the review, looking forward to more.

Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Touch ICS Update Review & Manual Ugrade How-to

bjorn joseph commented on 20 Jul 2012

i waited and waited patiently for this damn update like everyone else... when i heard it came out 7/12 i still waited.. today is the 19th and still nothing... the manual update did it like a breeze... epic fail sprint. you took forever to roll it out and now taking forever to OTA it... i must say i was expecting the GUI to look way different. looks the same

Rostam Seraj commented on 03 Aug 2012

hi, is anyone having problems with the ics home screen wallpaper. i know Samsung forced us to have a static wallpaper a while ago, but now, when setting a new wallpaper, it only gives me the option for a screen ratio meant for a scrollable wallpaper. so this means i essentially get a way too zoomed in portion of what i wanted my wallpaper to be. any fix?

BlacknRedTed commented on 15 Jul 2012

Nice video. This is off topic but I have the Galaxy S3 on Sprint and it has updated twice now since I've had it, and I've had it since day 1. Do you know what those updates where and can you do a video on it ? Thanks alot.

loseverette commented on 17 Jul 2012

I'm having a problem finding the update zip. I saved it to the sd card but its not showing when i look for it :-( I have the astro app so I dont know why its not showing. Any suggestions would be most appreciated :-)

Brandon Bailey commented on 23 Jul 2012

After waiting and waiting, i finally heard it was being released. An the 12th came and went. Days passed by. So i decided to manually update and it was so simple. I love the ics.

Hi, i had a quick question, i have my epic 4g touch updated to ics, but it has the touchwiz ui running, how can i get it to run stock ics?. thanks

qbking77; love the videos on the epic 4g touchs ( considering i have one myself ) and i updated to FH13 but noticed HORRIBLE battery life; the community of the epic 4g touch wants to know why? I heard that going back to gingerbread would help manage the battery life much better than the new FH13 update. I updated and noticed that the battery life is still horrible its abit better but drains way to quick; also when i charge the battery it goes from fuly charged to 40%; can you please explain? thx

Alright, so I had terrible battery drain since newer updates came out. I mean literally I had to keep my phone always connected to the home/car charger. If i would enable 4g data and GPS at the same time my battery life would not only stay at the same level, keep dropping like I got internet HotSpot On. Magic coincidence happened. i formatted my sd card. Not only that my apps stopped force closure, but my battery life increased like 3-4 times if im not lying!!! Recommend to try. Save data 1st

Im in my 60s and have no clue how to do this but my phones been really horrible since this upgrade . Calling sprint is useless you either get people who don't have a clue or they just quote the company line and tell you there is nothing wrong with the over the air upgrade. They even had me do 4 seperate factory resets. I'm in new jersey it would be really cool if you could recomend somebody to help me download this on to my phone . Hoping you can help, thanks in advance

I would not switch to this release yet...problem. My phone now will not wake and the battery has to be pulled to restart it. Everything works great until you haven't used it for approx 10 minutes or so, then screen stays black and no response from any touch input on the screen or buttons. Hoping someone has a fix soon. I have done a factory reset with no change.

FH13 is garbage! FF18 supposedly had issues with battery? I didn't notice, on FH13 I actually get worse battery life than I did before with same usage. When I did the FH13 update OTA I did it without thinking, it unrooted my phone and now all my apps consistently are crashing and freezing. This is a piece of garbage, I'm going back down to FF18.

Ever since I installed FH13, my phone won't stay on. If I don't use it for 5 or so minutes, instead of it going into standby mode, it just completely turns off. The only way to get it back on is to take the battery out and put it back in. Even put FF02 back on it, and still shutting off. Didn't have this problem before FH13. How can I fix this?

go to his how to install leaked fh13 video. . even with the ff18 rooted and cwm/agat recovery. just do what that video says. it will reset your phone on fh13 or you can preserve data. then its already rooted. use the same thing that made custom recovery on ff18 on this one. this is how i did it and its working perfectly fine now on fh13

Thanx for this video. 2 questions, 1. Sprint halted the original OTA, tweaked the issues that occurred & re-pushed it in early Aug. Is the build # of the new update different than FF18 as in this new one? 2. I was told w/the ICS update the E4GT could no longer be used as a mass storage device, has that also been fixed w/this new update?

I'm on Sprint and got the Epic 4G Touch for 99cents the signal sucks, i manual update to my ICS over my phone by putting the update on the SD card is that an option here? and should i sell this phone to upgrade to the galaxy s 3 with a contract is there a big diffidence and is it worth being on a contract.

Does anyone think/know if this will become an official update? Im on the FF18 and the battery life is just horrible. Even after two cache wipes and two factory resets, the battery still depletes at an alarming rate. Battery life aside, my phone seems to run ok on FF18.

I just received this update yesterday and of course i updated my epic and now i come to realize that my phone its not rooted anymore i am so fucking mad i can't use my sixaxis app anymore... Do i have to root my phone again.? Also can u do a tutorial about it?

Well if you installed a custom recovery you planned on installing a rom correct? If not... you can actually watch my how to install clockworkmod video and just flash the stock FF18 kernel with stock recovery and then the OTA will work

I did the official over the air update and now my battery goes from 100% to 50% in about 20min then shuts off and after turns on drops down to 0% in less than 5min. I went back to CM10 but the battery is still f'ed up.! Please help.

Anyone getting SoD? I leave my phone alone for about 30 minutes, and when I go and check back on it... it won't turn on. Have to pull the battery. Tried wiping cache, still the same issue. Anyone know how to resolve this?
