I updated to EB13 and rooted (stock rom). I miss TER. I hate stock rom. If you haven't made the change...don't. Everything was better on Dk28 and specifically TER. One noticeable thing is battery life is worse for me on EB13. Thinking about going back to DK28 so I can have TER.
to Flash or not to Flash from DK28 to EB13. DK28 vs EB13 Pros vs cons.

people who comment about battery life, make sure you recalibrate ur batterys! Best battery for me was when i was using baked snaked 1.6 on 2.1 eclair. The battery would last me 2-3 days sometimes. Ultimate kernel was the shiz. I really wonder where Her
ver went.. that guy makes the best kernels lol

Recalibrate your battery? Your kidding right.

Ok please do explain how this is done. I have never heard of "calibrating a battery"

Ok.. so here is the idea... Everytime you flash or change your rom. Recalibrate your battery. Basically android talks to the battery to figure how measure battery life. This action, resets it and remonitors your battery for more accurate reading and so it doesn't overcharge.

That link is for the battery
Samsung Epic 4G Cookbook - Your Guide To Everything - 02/23/2011 - xda-developers
This second link give you everything there is about the epic in terms of kernels, roms, most of the real important stuff is there. I personally like it better then the wiki or any other post. It's clear and concise. It's like the epic 4g bible
I've tried the first way, the second way.
Draining your battery is good.. but not always. From what i heard from people who work with batteries is that they have chips inside so that they dont overheat and it is closely monitored. If you drain it all the way to where you can't turn it on, it reset that chip.. supposly makes ur battery longer. I think it's true and it has worked in my experience.
Anyhow, i haven't tried the second step, but i think either one works. Second one is much faster then the first

Not according to this thread:
[KERNEL][GPL]Genocide 1.2GhzOC EB13 Kernel v0.2a (DK28 Compatible) - xda-developers
It shows it to be DK28 compatible. Am I missing something?
I have 2 Epics, one stock, one rooted and switch between TER and Midnight.
The stock has had no problems, battery about the same, but the phone stats in Spare Parts is running more efficiently. My husband is not a power user, just like the cool big screen I had and what comes stock, so he can't tell a difference in daily use.
Me, I see no reason to upgrade, my phone is perfect, still running more efficiently that his on battery.
My question is what does geneocide kernel do, I had assumed it was EB13 but see its not. Will this increase any efficiencies or just allow overclocking?
In other words, I don't feel like being experimental and rocking my boat!!

Agreed. I finally have my Epic running the way I want it with TER 1.5 and Mini Theme 1.8. I don't want to install this and blow the whole thing up.
I am sticking with DK28, I am glad i didn't Flash the EB13, seems like it has its own set of problems, lack of good ROMS.
No thanks I like DK28

I'm wondering if development on EB13 roms is going to be delayed since it's future is uncertain...
Well, I went with EB13 last night and flashed to TER 1.5. So far so good. A few FC's every now and then. Still testing though. Bluetooth and GPS will be my deal breaker if they fail to live up to DK28.

I have resisted the urge to update to EB13 because TER 1.5 is running so well. The only issue I really have with DK28/TER is an occasional network connection problem and that is pretty infrequent. On the other hand, I would like better battery life and BT voice dialing.
So, now that EB13 has been out for a couple of weeks does anyone have further thoughts about switching from DK28?
