New Gingerbread Leak EP1W

**piizzadude** · 09-05-2011, 11:26 PM

For those of you that do not venture out too much from AC (and why should you...lol) there is a new Gingerbread Leak over at XDA (Well it is actually on mydroidworld.com)

If your adventurous, here is the link to it:

They are saying that it is very stable and very close to an official build. If you follow the link, someone kanged out the modems so you do not have to flash the whole thing just to get a modem upgrade (this is what I am doing)

Good luck, all the credit goes eventually to P3droid and his team for the leaks. Not sure who got the modem out of there, but the credit goes to him for that.

I'm surprised there isn't much mention of this ROM here. People on XDA are going NUTS over it!

I've been running it for 15 hours and its all good so far.

**piizzadude** · 09-06-2011, 04:02 PM

I know right? I have been following the threads on XDA and mydroidworld and they are loving it. I am holding off on the full ROM until it is official (only because I do not want to go through the hassle of going backward if something fails)

I have been running the Modem since right before I posted this thread, and it has been great. I even went to the bar that I never get 4G in (any excuse to go to the bar ..lol) and I had solid 4G the whole time. MAJOR improvement there, even over the last leaked one.

Should I wipe my phone (does that mean factory reset)? I have GummyCharged 2.0 installed. What steps should I take?

**piizzadude** · 09-06-2011, 08:06 PM

I would odin the ED2 package, do the OTA to EE4 then flash the GB leak. Check to see what modem you are on and then if need be flash the modem leak. I am pretty sure that you won't have to but you gotta check to be sure.

Here is the ED2 file to get you started: [How to] Return to Stock, FULL with modem ED2 Odin package(Last resort fix)

this mass blow up on twitter about EP1W on monday night was too much for me to bear - i hadn't rooted or hacked any of my phones since the OG droid ... since i came from a fascinate in that "call and yell at verizon and they'll give you a charge" period of a few weeks, and the charge stock EE4 wasn't really much better than the fascinate's latest stock, i figured what the hell.

well ... holy crap. it's awesome. the GPS works. the debloated version has XDA's Touchwiz4.5 mod (mydroidworld.com should have thrown the TW4 Manager.APK in there for good measure, but it's easily enough attainable)

oh, and i got 16hours and 56minutes on a charge using it just like i did the days prior when i only got about 10-12.

now i'm busy theming, tweaking, overclocking ... you know, all the things i promised my wife i'd stop doing when i got rid of the droid 1. damn you internet. damn you.

This is a huge step forward, but I don't think this is going to be the actual build that Verizon releases. I'm finding a few strange things going on. Plus, doesn't everyone find it odd that the pull-down menu has green/blue icons in it? The rest of the original orange theme is there; just makes those icons look out of place.

**gregba** · 09-07-2011, 09:48 AM

What are the chances that the new touchwiz is thrown in with the official update? Im not really into rooting, so I will wait for the official GB update.

I have following the directions on xda's website to the letter and the process is sitting on setup connection in odin for some time now without continuing.. Help!

Your drivers are installed? Did you put the battery back in once you went into download mode? need some more details

**PreceptorJR** · 09-07-2011, 02:30 PM

Hey all,

I downloaded the EP1W Gingerbread leak. It's solid so far. I wanted to install imoseyon's kernel, and it seems like I lost my CMW option when I flashed to this build. What can/should I do here? I came from Gummy 1.9 and then 2.0.

**radar320** · 09-07-2011, 02:30 PM

I installed the Samsung driver on my computer and put the battery back in once in download mode.

The leak is a stock build, so the stock kernel overwrites the cwm. Flash the latest CWM in ODIN, but make sure you uncheck auto reboot in ODIN, then boot directly to CWM by holding volume up, power, and home buttons until you see samsung logo flash for the second time then release all three buttons. Flash imoseyon's kernel from there, reboot phone, go into voodoo control app, enable ext4, reboot phone, good to go.

Make sure you leave the battery in when flashing the rom.

Wow, I'm very impressed with this build. I don't typically apply leaks cause I need my phone for work and I need my phone very stable. I loaded the de-bloated version and it's FAST! Not to mention the GPS actually works. The only quirk I see so far (running for 24 hours) is when you press the power button when the screen is off, the home screen shows for a blip and then the lock screen shows up. Other than that, this build is solid. Would recommend loading immediately.

Do you mind elaborating on the strange things you are finding?

**PreceptorJR** · 09-08-2011, 06:04 PM

I am loving this ROM. I downloaded the unbloated version and its running pretty fast. The new Touchwiz 4.0 is nice as well. It is more customizable than 3.0 by a long shot. The battery after one day seems to be a bit less than I got on GummyCharged 2.0, but I heard it takes a while to break in (truth?). I only had one reboot so far, but I was really messing around with the settings. It is VERY fast, the screen transitions are smooth as heck too. My signal has been strong as well. I just don't understand why the four home buttons at the bottom of the home screen seem to be squished together!

It is a recommended download.

**BlkWolf03** · 09-08-2011, 06:32 PM

Since the leak is of a stock build, do they still have the same color scheme that was leaked a while back? As in getting rid of the brown/orange and going with the blue/green

**Charge5150** · 09-08-2011, 08:33 PM

Is their a Rom for this build yet as I do not want to touch TW.

**PreceptorJR** · 09-09-2011, 06:19 AM

One other thing, the GPS seems to lock on in under 5 seconds now...which is a big improvement.

**brucedbr** · 09-10-2011, 11:13 PM

I've downloaded the Gingerbread leak ODIN file and tried flashing it. For the first time ever, the flash failed. So I'm downloading the Original Froyo file...will return there and HOPEFULLY, I can recover. Right now...Im bricked! UGH! I guess there's a first time for everything! I came from Gummy Charged 2.0 with Voodoo enabled. I was worried about the voodoo, but I saw a couple of other posts where others were VooDoo enabled and were able to odin over it without a problem.

**piizzadude** · 09-11-2011, 12:40 AM

No there is no custom rom that I have seen for this build so TW it is. Yes, I am pretty sure it is the same colors, but I cannot quite remember, I only had it on my phone for a little

**Jamloya3964** · 09-11-2011, 04:30 AM

Hello everyone,
I am new to the droid familybut, I have to say I just purchased a Samsung Droid 4G LTE and I am feeling it big time...
The only problemis I have to learn how to get past the sim lock. I've read about the gummycharged 2.0, Odin and countless other software. If I can get one of the many experts from this forum to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated...

Thank You!!!

**Halo** · 09-11-2011, 07:34 AM

Well kejar31 release GummyCharge GBE 2.0RC yesterday. It's built on the EP1W release. I went ahead and flashed it. So far, so good! Quadrant scores are 2400 - 2500. She's definitely fast. This is just an RC release so there isn't nearly as many goodies and extras like on GC FE 2.0.

Make sure you leave your battery in the device when flashing via Odin.
