What is the difference between Gingerbread version EP4P and EP4D?

Samsung just released the source code (we think it's Gingerbread) for the Samsung charge phone. It is named version EP4D. Folks here have said that Version EP4P is Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Does anyone know what version is EP4D? Is it Gingerbread 2.3.4, 2.3.5, or 2.3.6 or something else?

As a note:

Bloatware is stil lthere, even tho some no longer default launch like before, or at least till you first run them and use them.

Facebook removed by default, and we know why so you just need to install the full app.

New support for Google Music, however you need to give it time to synch if you have alot of music on your cloud server.

Front cam has a default swapper button for other apps. Skype updated their app already to work with the front cam.

THere are other google support apk's hidden so looks like a Google Video feature like Google music is on the way.

You can't judge by file size. Leaks are full overwrites. OTA's and SD downloaded are not. THe update is not going to contain default apps like the leaks which are SHIPPED builds to install onto new phones.

THe update is goign to overwrite the kernal, the main os, and radio's. The apps already present will not be changed (data will be backed up to the IMS then restored). So there is no need for a large file size.

If you take the ep4d and remove app data defaults. It is around 108mb.

On another more technically oriented forum one of the folks downloaded it (126.37 MB) and found that EP4D is probably Version 2.3.5 (see attachment). Also others said that some of the files are missing...who knows, not me!

EP4P is definitely 2.3.6. The newest leak that leaked earlier this month. The one verizon is going to OTA is probably 2.3.5 which would make it older than the one that was leaked earlier this month.

That makes no sense to release an older version. Especially since we have a newer leak and older source code. I certainly hope that source us going to be released for EP4P.

If you look on the Samsung Open Source site, for EE4, it is listed as "EE4B", and for EP4 it says "EP4D"... on my phone it just says "EE4" not "EE4B" so, hopefully this "EP4D" is really "EP4" or "EP4P" which is the leak that your running and hopefully it is 2.3.6 :smileyhappy: Also, on a few different sites, they have said that the update is 114MB and 119MB....so I'm wondering which one is correct.

so when does it come out?

I really do not think it matters if users will be getting 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, as 2.3.6 simple fixed a voice seach bug:

I don't care which version we get, it would be extra sweet if they got g chat with video to work too.

Will the front facing camera work with skype with gingerbread?

DC5_K20Z1

I would tell you how, but I already got my message deleted once after mentioning it.

And T-5 hours and 46 minutes till RIPCharge starts complaining about the update.

How did a child get on thsi forum?

EP4D had a few changes such as some color changes (not totally gold scheme ow but some is still there).

There has been a streamign audio bug fixed from EP4P. There has been a bug correction to the antennae timing (popping glitch).

Otherwise its the same.

A child with vocabulary. 12PM here. I haven't read anyone getting this OTA. Settle down now...this is why I'm not even on my charge. I'll wait to hear what you all say about this official release. I'd go on a rampage myself waiting for this update like everyone else.

HoustonHeart

A lack of respect and self control as well.

The OTA's will begin when Verzon readies the distribution network. Only so many can be sent at a time over the standard system. Which is why many choose to do manual updates.

I recieved the official, Officially. So did testers that distributed through XDA sites. The actually build was ready 2 weeks ago when verizon choose it. Hince why Samsung OFFICIALLY released the 4D source code on their website.

Which means you can manually do it now and have it. Or wait for the OTA, then have it. Either way some do have it. Are further checking changes and seeign how it acts on various phones who have had various issues.

Now calling another user a troll isn't called for when you Troll the forum yourself. Stop trying to damper people's hopes with negitive condecending words when you haven't made any effort to remedy a situation.

Clearly Samsung has made the effort. Testers have, leak sites have, custom rom builders have and thansk to Samsung and releasign the source code, they can fine tweak the phone further.

rampage is right!
