So has this been updated yet? If not, how can I most easily backup my current system, go back to EI22 and then upgrade to the EL30 OTA update? I downloaded Titanium PRO, but there seems to be an issue with it at the moment.

Right now I'm in Mostly Stock EI22. I got the notification for the OTA EL30 push this morning. Should I go ahead and update or wait for a couple weeks for some EL30 ROMs to come out? If I should go to EL30 from here do I need to go back to EI22 stock first and then to EL30? What benefits, if...

So for the ACS Recovery piece, which file should I get from here: chris41g.devphone.org ? ACSRecovery1.0.0.5.tar.md5 or ACSRecovery5-1.0.0.0-epic4g.tar.md5? The second file is more recent, but the first is the one referenced in the sticky.

Yeah. It's the one they link to from the XDA forums.

Okay. I found out I was in a boot loop. Unfortunately several people on the XDA forums had similar problems and no one told them how to fix it. I got the clockwork mod ROM manager last night. Will that work for loading this ROM or does it not work with the gtab?

This may be a dumb question, but how long did the first reboot after flashing this take for y'all? I've been watching the birds sit there for about 10 minutes now. I know they say it can take up to 15 minutes for the first reboot after putting in a new rom, but this seems a bit extreme. Am I...

I got sick of waiting and got the update from the Samsung site directly. Worked like a charm. Lost all my apps, but that was expected. Used App Brain to help me remember what I had so I could get them back. Overall a very happy camper. Edit to Add: Of course I had to say that before I...

So what does determine it?

In MA, haven't done anything to my phone ever, still waiting. Got it in October, I believe.

In MA and nothing as of this morning. Disappointing.

Opinion question: Is it better to go with a 2.1 custom kernel and ROM combo or to use the stock kernel and custom 2.2 ROM? Thinking about it a bit more I think getting used to a 2.2 ROM before the custom kernels for it start coming out would probably be a good idea, but the idea of getting...

Interesting. So any clue if they'll do the roll out piecemeal or all at once? I remember reading that for another carrier, T-Mobile I think, they were saying they'd be rolling it out only in certain areas to start with and then going wider over time. The other question this brings up is data...

How firm is the "in 2 weeks or so" date? I mean I've been hearing that song and dance since I got the phone in October...

Thanks for the advice everyone. Sorry for posting in the wrong forum to start with. I read Paul's sticky and saw the stuff in there about keeping data and whatnot through a root. So I guess my other question would be would it be useful to install Odin and CWM even if I don't intend to flash...

Keeping data through root So is there a link to a site with a comprehensive guide to which processes (root, flash, etc) will wipe all your phone's data and which will keep them in tact? As I said in my intro post I'm interested in doing something to my phone to help improve the GPS, improve...
