Meh... Get used to it... Android devices are lucky to see updates past 1 version and we've had updates past 2!

If you want a newer version of android you pretty much have to go buy a new device.

I think they do it on purpose.
[Epic 4G General] TrentB:
To any CM7 developers, having used CM7 on a few other phones, I cannot wait for an RC (or a beta) on our phone. Thanks for all of your hard work, and sorry for the hard times the community has given you.
[Epic 4G General] imakul8:
I ran CM7 on my G2. When I made the switch I assumed CM7 would be along shortly, but it's been a minute. I won't use it in it's current state. I really miss it's customizations. I like the Epic more than the G2, but honestly I'm not thrilled with any of the roms available for the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
Yes it has been a minute, their working as diligantly as possible while balancing their lives around their hobbys. Maybe if we all donated up to $30,000 to pay their bills for a few months, they'd sit at the pc more building code :)
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Is it the Epic's last hope?

...maybe.

Will we ever have a full blown 100% functional and supported release?

...doubtful, in my opinion, we have awesome developers no doubt but.. I seem to recall a time everyone was saying once we got Froyo source CM6 would be done and all the world would eat frozen aosp yogurt goodness.

Now it's once we have Gingerbread source code it will definitely happen this time! :p

Please don't take that the wrong way, as I mentioned the Dev's are great. Samsung has made it very hard for them to port it nicely. However, it appears Samsung is changing their ways with the donation of some SII's to the Cyanogen Developers... maybe they will make their phones easier to work with to. Wait and see I guess.
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
No doubt. Samsung made a good move. And will possibly be the best profitable move they've made since launch.

Also, I'm waiting on my SII. Should arrive today.
[Epic 4G General] imakul8:
I guess that would do it.:) I hope I didn't come across as a complainer..I understand they've got their lives and I've got mine..no time to sit around complain about CM7(great as it is;))..I just will take more into consideration next time I decide on a phone.
[Epic 4G General] hussmanne:
No worries

When I'm overseas I use an unlocked HTC G1 Dream from the old days, it's still being developed for. I'm running Gingerbread on it with no real troubles to speak of.

It is kind of funny to have that old thing run G'bread before my Epic.

Only thing worse is that my HTC Vogue (aka Sprint Touch) which is pre-Android, runs Gingerbread too! June 2007 in the house!

:)
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
I put CM7 on my brother's EVO tonight. It was my first experience with CM7 and I gotta say, it is a very impressive ROM. I'm mad jelly.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
If cm7 is on the SG2 before the end of July I think alot of user will migrate to it rather than wonder what could be for the Epic. Sammy was pretty smart giving one to cyanogen early so try can drive us crazy with a cm7 sg2
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Well the at&t version already has nightly cm7 going on.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:
Yup with strong support for the SG2 its gonna be hard to resist at any cost
[Epic 4G General] jocala:
How technically likely is this? I ask out of curiosity, not snark. Isn't the issue is closed source samsung drivers?
[Epic 4G General] jocala:
I gotta have a real keyboard. I'll be forced to resist :)
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
I'm sure they'll be pushing keyboards out depending on how sells go maybe?
[Epic 4G General] jocala:
Actually, I really like my Epic. I'd love to see software breakthroughs extend its life!
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I've been reading quite a lot, but I wanted to try and get some confirmation...

SGS2 = Samsung WiThin, yes?
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
That is the name reported to be for the S2 on the Sprint network

Other networks have different phone names
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Thanks for the response. I knew other networks had different names, I'm trying to keep with Sprint as I'm about three months from being 10 years young with them, which also means 10 years since I started college...yikes.
[Epic 4G General] markawashington:
is cm7 project dead?
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
No, they are waiting for official Gingerbread release so they can get the kernel source as far as I understand.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
As I understand it, the difference this time is that we can use source code from the Nexus S 4G (another Galaxy S-line, Sprint, WiMax phone) to help port things once we have the Gingerbread source from Samsung, but that doesn't help the CM6/Froyo situation because the Nexus S never ran 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] hmiem81:
As a person that has only had the Epic 4G for about a month now and as far as I know the hardware has not been EOL from Samsung. Which means they are probably still making them and they are still a pricey phone when you buy it outright these days. Also, Gingerbread industry-wide is just rolling out. We have had a few phones that have come with it but mostly the phones that have been getting it have only had OFFICIAL releases within the past month or two. The gingerbread update is not late yet, IMHO.

I believe our updates are going to be coming more and more frequently than you might think. We have to keep thinking that the Epic is still one of the top 5 phones on the carrier. I believe Samsprint will take care of it.

At least I hope so.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
No, but the devs can't move any further until the source for GB kernel (from Samsung) drops. Until that happens, development hasn't really stopped, but just put on a serious delay.

I don't know this for fact, but that's the gist I gather from the guys working on it.
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
My girlfriend rubs it in my face that her Incredible has CM7... I yearn for the day that I can shut her up about it.

i've wanted this as my sig forever
[Epic 4G General] Pacorocko:
I read somewhere that it might be called the Samsung Chief instead of the Within now.

Not sure of how much truth there is to this rumor. I don't know how I feel about that name either...
[Epic 4G General] Falstafff:
i want it called the samsung master chief.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
by the time SGII comes out for sprint.. SGIII will be out to compete with the Iphone 5

CM7 is pretty awesome. Once it gets the kinks worked out and wiimax working it will be GLORIOUS.

Quadrant benchmark 2095.

DAMN!

Thanks to Deca and crew. We are so rocking!
[Epic 4G General] dkcfdf90:
They're getting there with the cm7 1022 build. Tugger only thing that irks me about it is the wifi is still a bit unstable. Other than that it can be my daily driver. I still go back to srf 1.2 though until cm7 for the epic is a bit more refined. Deca and team is doing a hell of a job.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
Is it just my imagination or did the Epic 4G General forum just take a major dump since Noobnl started posting again? ;)
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
Nah, it's your imagination since it was already pretty dumpy.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It did actually but I was impressed at his apology for creating the drama. That takes a lot.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I don't see anything about the Epic anymore in the Epic forum. It's all about the SGSII, Evo3D, I'm leaving...wahhhhhhh..cry me a river please, give me lunch money back, etc.

Would be nice to see stuff about the Epic again in the EPIC forums.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
I'd much rather read noobnl posts/threads than sift through more and more threads on devices like the Evo/Evo 3D/etc which have nothing to do with the Epic and don't even belong here in the first place, or people griping about how the Epic is undersupported and 'woe iz us' and proudly boasting which manufacturer/device they're moving to because of it and why and all such blather as that as if everyone both wants and deserves to read it.

At the very least noobnl's threads and the reactions within them have some semblance of entertainment value usually.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
This is a great phone and there are a ton of fun and interesting things to do with it. I guess I'm just not jaded enough because I don't buy the newest latest 3x a year for full price. No offense to those who do, but the Epic for me at least has plenty of life left in it.
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
Yep, I agree. I'm not updating until quad core comes out. Dual core is cool, but the main feature of this phone is the gpu, which is just as good as anything coming out for thre rest of the year.

From cellblock D
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You will as soon as official Gingerbread drops and the ROMs fly.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Yah, I think a lot of the slowdown is the wait for the official GB to drop
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Ofcourse, I know 2 devs right now that have held off from even creating for FROYO because they knew GB was close.

Help support autism awareness,it only takes 2 seconds to help make a difference...

http://picketfenceblogs.com/vote/3616
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
theyve said that before froyo too and i didnt see much of a diff after it dropped either. its not froyo, gb or anything else holding us up.

i think we all know what it is.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I just want more epic'ness. Its called the epic for damn sakes! Where's our Epic'ness! The glory to uphold the that name!

Our communitys taken several epic movements lately.. =/

Marcusant if u read this, make a quick "how to" compilation of all the learn to dev tuts. I'm sure it might motivate some in our community =) id do it but my theads are always sloppy.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Really? Really? The threads were full of Epic only talk, differences between DK28, EB13 and EC05, easiest path to their favorite ROM, help I sponged my phone, how do use Odin, GPS fix this GPS fix that...he said talk was all about the next phone, which simply means devs are waiting for GB source code.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
I quote you by quoting myself
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
A limited amount of items left to fix?

Outside of TV out, I am not really sure what there is left to improve on my Epic

The ROM fast and stable, battery life lasts all day, my signal and call quality are great, I couldn't be happier with my theme, tethering works with 4G... whats left?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Although my setup varies from yours, I have to agree.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
Even his apology was self congratulatory..
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
No offence, but what is the point of this? To rag on a member? I have not been here long, or post often, but if you are saying the Epic forum is going to **** due to threads like Noobnl's, then what is this thread for?
[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Threads like this are why, counter productive and flamebait.. noobnl whether you like him or not, even if you think he stole everything he ever released, he still contributed more than 3/4s of the people talking ****..
[Epic 4G General] silver03wrx:
People complain about off topic banter. And threads being derailed id much rather see that then people fighting and talking negatively about eachother. Atleast the off topic is usually funny and in good spirit.
[Epic 4G General] Custodian:
Dunno. But nurse just owned noob.
[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
I'm completely lost as to why everyone thinks he's so awesome. He's developed a few unfinished roms and craps on everyone elses work. From saying ext4 will kill our phones to saying carrieriq is a worthless. Seems more like a counter productive bully.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
The only one of those I would let anywhere near my phone is Cyongenmod. Sense and TW were the 1st thing replaced when I setup my phones, and MIUI is a no-go due to the elimination of the app drawer
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Noobnl and JoeyKrim Got Root on the epic before it came out and got the first working clockwork, after that he didnt do anything special all his roms were stock based with even stock apps still there.

Ill give hime credit as a good developer but only to start the community.

Im not bashing or anything just my thoughts....
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Is it just my imagination or did you just revive drama after he apologized?

I bet this thread won't even get closed because you're a part of one of those groups (acs, bonsai, w/e)

if I would make a thread like this, it'd be closed real quick due to being off topic, but yet the mods let all of you get away with the stuff you all say you're against (such as pointless irrelevant threads such as this)

Why don't we all just work on improving gingerbread? Especially since no one is working on ec05 anymore since gb is clearly deep in development
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Yes why are there threads that are bashing.. or talking about newer phones and the end for the epic. We havebt seen nearly what This phone is capable of doing.....
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I think that had more to do with not developing for the Epic than anything else

His Samsung Moment's ROM was one of the most popular ever for the Moment
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I believe the point the OP was trying to make is that the quality of the forum has decreased because the community has allowed a member who no longer develops to derail it and create contention. That is all. I don't believe it was intended to be a shot at the particular dev, just a post inquiring if anyone else has noticed what happened. Based on some of the responses I've read in this thread, it would appear the subject in the OP may have been more successful than I thought.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I feel it had nothing to do with him, and everything to due with the coming release of GB

Why waste time on a build that is going to be outdated as soon as GB drops, and why put the time into the EE03 leak, given how many bugs it had, when a working GB release hopefully is around the corner
[Epic 4G General] spitefulrain:
This. It had been going downhill already. Like with the attacking of Whosdaman, and all that good fun stuff. At least when noobnl starts debates, he has some useful information, or proof and theories about what is said. And it's also USUALLY on topic about the epic in some way.

I'll agree he hasn't done that much for the Epic, but he did help jumpstart it big time. And I know he's a good developer because as DCRocks said, his moment ROMs were amazing. Also, i'm used to him being edgy and very straightforward. I personally find it funny.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I believe the drama was oer with after noob apologized. Top nurse is clearly trying to rile up everyone again.

This forum took a dump the minute whosdaman released swisscheese

I wouldn't necessarily say a "dump" more like a lull because no one is interested in froyo anymore and once gb drops officially this forum will be roaring back to life
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Alright, let's not spread misinformation. I'm pretty sure it's unlike TopNurse to rile folks up, and I'm pretty sure Whosdaman didn't have anything to do with Swisscheese.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I fully agree! Just take what is useful, and ignore the rest. It makes you a much happier Android modder ;)

I sure hope so, and would be shocked if that was not the case
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
I think you may want to rework the math on that one, Chris... :D :D

[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I think that this thread, among many others just don't need to exist. Sure, we have an off topic thread. We don't need 50 others about non epic things. I find it is best not to start a new thread unless it fits nowhere else. Now, on the other hand, the Evo3D, WiThin, and other threads relating to upcoming devices/changes to the Sprint network should be welcomed. But don't make a hundred threads about the same phone. So threads like "My legs asleep" and "My opinions on why this community stinks", while might end up being fun to read, really do not belong anywhere else than the off topic thread.

/end my opinion, now going back to reading

Sent from the only thing i need.
[Epic 4G General] PythonFanTN:
And I totally, vehemently disagree with that statement. There are forums for those devices as well, and if people want to discuss them, that's where they belong. Such threads here gum up the works just as much as the others and are even worse because they only serve to fuel the angst/debate/etc. between people who are happy with the Epic and people who primarily want to gripe about it in every shape, form or fashion they can muster.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
These threads don't bother me a bit, the epic development slowed and it had nothing to do with noobnl but this thread has given every person who posted in it a channel for whatever energy they released in it. There isn't much else to do with the epic right now except themers to make use of the status bar background animation. Development will pick up when its time whats amazing is the amount of options in modding the phone and ppl like to complain about the forum dead rather than enjoy those options. You dont have to have a new rom 7 days a week to have a great phone lol
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Ok. I know there is an Evo 3D section, but there isnt one yet for the WiThin. And if it was posted in android general, it would sink in minutes. We, as a community of Epic 4G users, share all information that could effect another Epic 4G user. Those fall under that category. I look at the Epic section as its own entity, instead of a part of a greater whole known as xda.
[Desire General] Scoop940:
Since rooting a few months ago I have been using Starburst with Data2SD. It's brilliant, I have 1gb free for apps and even loading everything I want it's still got space free. Cheers DZ and Sibere :D Removes my one complaint about the HTC Desire.

Anyway, quite fancy some Gingerbread and also try out some of the Sense 3.0 stuff people are porting, had a go with Supernova but it's a bit slow compared to Starburst ( not a criticism as I know it's early in development ) so looking around at others ROM's Data2SD is not very popular.

A2SD+ still is in favour but I run out of space before getting all my apps on, Data++ needs me to S-OFF, and also looks more complicated to setup, mutiple partitions etc. Can't find a good explanation of Data2ext and Data2we as yet.

Just wondered why is Data2SD not so popular? Am i missing something?

Cheers
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Am not sure on this also. Using data2sd is the number one thing, that make's my desire great, without it i'll be lost.

All this App2SD+ is not really that good, you still use all your internal, befor ext3 is used.

I love the fact I have 2GB internal space and not having to worry, about not enough space. Every RoM should have this Data2SD I think :)
[Desire General] teorouge:
I was a big fan of DATA2SD but it lacks wide compatibility with ROMs: now I'm more than satisfied with CM7 Hboot + Dalvik on sd-ext: got to have over 250 apps installed and still 50 MB in internal.
[Desire General] koelspy:
AFAIK:

- Speed: Most of the time internal memory is faster.

- Corruption: I read that Android does not unmount /data cleanly, so there is a chance of data corruption. Am i still right on this?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I haven't managed to get data2sd working on my phone yet but apps2sd+ is working nicely.

I don't need heaps installed on my phone but have a fair few apps that I want and it seems to be working ok with a apps2sd+ setup.

I have read mixed things about data2sd regarding corruption possible, and also confused about speed as I read that the sd can be faster (probably depending on class?) than internal, and also that internal is faster than sd - so I'm confused :)

but my phone is working ok at the moment!

SuperNova will probably work a lot better when the official release comes out for Gingerbread :)
[Desire General] Scoop940:
My phone feels faster using Data2sd, and certainly the quadrant scores of 2000+ are much higher than the wife's stock Desire. As for corruption, yes I have, when I have pulled the battery for some reason. Not had a problem for months though.

Regular Nandroid and scheduled titanium backups cover that off anyway.
[Desire General] dexter93:
You do know that these quadrant scores are fake, don't you? I'm quite happy with a2sd and cm7 hboot gingersense roms :cool:

I don't think that I would ever sacrifice my data to get more apps

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Scoop940:
I appreciate the quadrant scores aren't accurate as they change everytime I run it, but the phone feels faster and smoother.

Any links to the fake quadrant score stuff?

Cheers
[Desire General] shankly1985:
I have been using data2sd for about one year, and never had data loss :) or even a single force close of an app.

My phone always runs very fast and smooth, cant say its faster than stock because I wasn't on stock long enough,but I did have lots of force close's on app2sd+ leedroid
[General Questions and Answers] cherubyn:
Hi all,

I often get SMS messages like "one missed call from +43650989898989", but I want to see the name instead of the number. Is there an app which can do that?

I use CM7, no special apps. My contacts are all stored with country code (+43bla).

At the moment I have to click on the number, the phone app opens and I have to call the number and then I get the contacts name displayed on the screen, which is really annoying.

Thanks!
