it's supposed to cure 'gyne-syphi-herpe-l-aids'... (say it real fast.. it's almost all STDs LOL)..

actually, it's closest thing to a very customizable AOSP experience that can be had.

I also don't buy the whole 'too hard to work on' thing.. I just think there's not enough interest in developing or porting it to our device.. just my opinion.. there's plenty of demand, just not enough development interest. (or development collaboration ??.. i'm out of the loop, so i'm unsure)
[Epic 4G General] Phasma343:
I missed the butt hurt in my post :confused: Also I can tell you have never had a phone that has had CM. So you wouldn't know why it is such an awesome thing.

I haven't ever heard one of the CM-Epic devs mention anything about this phone being too hard to get things working with. Only that the minimal source from samsung makes things difficult.

Also you do realize that one of the forum moderators is on that team and does contribute regularly in the dev forum right? I think you have just been very mis-informed about things.

im still feelin srf 1.2, cant wait for 1.3, thdy could get the best of both worlds would be great
[Epic 4G General] BWFBezerk:
Cyanogenmod is better than all roms??

Please send me the link to their previous works for the Epi...........oh wait.......haaaaa you almost had me!

A friendly jest :-)
[Epic 4G General] andsamp:
Srf is my favorite, But I haven't used eg22 yet. I was spoiled when I first rooted my phone by acs/srf by konane and a very responsive impaler. I don't feel as much love over there but its still the best rom for the epic. That being said I ready to try eg22.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I see people getting upset about EVO source for Gingerbread not being out. There's retweets about open source violations, but yet it was figured out enough to get a successful port. Dev interest is low and I have a right to be annoyed about that. I'm glad a mod is contributing to the project. Trying to rub that in my face for some reason doesn't make them more successful at accomplishing the task. As a mod, has the person drummed up more interest from devs to work on it? One would think that they have it in their power as a mod.

I think SRF is a great Rom and puts a serious challenge to Cyanogenmod in so much as our ACS devs support/work on it to a functional level despite having lost major chefs in the recent past. It also provides a pretty stripped down, fast programming to it. Marcusant has also hinted that it has some pure AOSP in it.

I know source is a problem, but we've heard of them writing from the ground up for others. Our partition can't be so amazingly complex that the right minds couldn't do it. Is it pride that they don't get other mods in on it? Are other devs not interested? If so, these are valid reasons, but all I've ever heard is it's too hard and cannot be done.

Dont the touchpro2 have aosp? Even though its not even an androi device
[Epic 4G General] MS3:
Eg22 ftw

[Epic 4G General] LunaticWolf:
Pretty much exactly how I feel about it as well. Just know its not the popular opinion 'round these parts.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
OK, I dont understand the CM hype either, and no, havent used it, ill gladly try it if someone feels like doing it, but I dont think it was in the contract with our phone. I have seen multiple threads of various groups or individuals working on it, a version thrown in the trash (or just forgotten) because it didnt follow the CM guidelines or whatever (these are custom roms, right?)... regardless, most people who have recently worked on it have been waiting for whatever is a final source... froyo and GB are too close together to make it worth the time and effort to build something like that for the notorious level of appreciation for Epic Dev in general... maybe those who still give a crap at this point will do it when theres source and it can be done 'right'... but isnt the first rule of CM is to never talk about CM??? Maybe Devs have been annoyed off the project. I know I wouldnt want the entitled CM fanatics up on my nuts every five minutes... and this is not directed at those posting in favor of it, just overall interest in it since launch of this device. Or maybe the oh so amazingness of every device being the same should remain apples thing.... idunno... one rom to rule them all? Boring. MIUI? ;)

But on topic, apples and oranges, all roms ymmv... kinda silly thread, but im glad the thought police have left the Epic building.
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
As mentioned, you're comparing a customized Syndicate rom to a stock Gingerbread rom. With different base structures. They can't be compared, although for your purposes I'd likely stick with Syndicate until they or others gain access to official source and pimp out their own Gingerbread.

As far as CyanogenMod, it was half-ported to the Epic some time ago.

Things that do NOT work :

GPS (Hm, I use my GPS a fair amount)

Camera (Well that's inconvenient, this is my most used camera)

Multimedia Messaging (How am I supposed to send all those pictures I can't take?)

Bluetooth In-Call (In an increasing amount of states, this is the only legal way to talk and drive)

WiMax 4G (I ACTUALLY work in a city where I get 4G)

The developers of CM7 have basically stated that they're too lazy to put any effort into this device until 2.3 officially drops. We'll see if they don't say the same things when that actually happens... But they're free people welcome to develop on whatever they want. The point is, there is no CM that compares with anything the Epic's dedicated developers have released. :p
[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
No. Rhodium phones have a sorta-kinda Android experience that is laggy, crashy, and barely supports the hardware. It's behind even the most experimental of CM builds for Epic, and a pain to get up and running compared to our ability to flash.

It's one of those projects that saw virtually zero progress for over a year, but anyone who called it dead was pounced on by supporters. Weird phenomenon, really. Nobody's ever allowed to call a corpse a corpse.

I've toyed with CM before on other handsets. It's a quality build, but it's definitely overrated. It's not 'the closest thing to pure Android'. Not by a long shot, though its supporters often say stuff like that. It also doesn't always fully support the hardware it gets put on, but does often enough to give it its reputation.

The most important thing to remember is that EVERY ROM will have fans insisting it's the most buttery smooth, quick as a whip Android experience they've ever encountered. So just because it's said about CM doesn't mean it's anything more than the unconditional love of fanboys.
[Epic 4G General] Phasma343:
These people are upset that the source isn't out. They had source from the froyo and eclair builds for their phone along with pretty decently documented RIL patches. None of the samsung phones have well documented RIL patches (well I guess the actual SGS does now)

The EpicCM team has stated that anyone can join the effort. I guess most of the devs in this forum are just ROM cooks though and don't know anything about actual coding. (getting my trollface and flamesuit on for that one)

I think they are really apples to oranges on all sides. SFR is a decent rom (well 1.1.1 is.) And fairly stable, but it still has samsung crap in it throughout all the frameworks etc. I came from a device that never had any bloatware stuff like touchwiz or sense. I think both are junk and get in my way more than help me.

SFR is a nice attempt at getting rid of a good portion of that, but still nowhere near an AOSP or CM build.

Also on that note CM is an actual build. Everything is compiled against the phone libs and not just modified and baked back into the rom. Not exactly a solid comparison, but I felt like trolling this thread a bit. I don't think SFR and stock Gingerbread is a good comparison either for similar reasons.

Other phones didn't have things written from the ground up. Certain files were kanged or already documented. HTC phones were already well documented in actual Android source with the G1. So the RIL was already in place with just minor changes needed. You are very mistaken in this. Infact if you look in the actual source code http://android.git.kernel.org/ you can see the script that is used to kang the files even.

It really has nothing to do with the partitions either. That was easy stuff. Obviously since CM6 and CM7 have both been able to boot. Again it has been the RIL stuff that has been the main obstacle in all of this from what I can tell in the github and following the actual development.

Can I ask you how you see it as overrated?

It is pretty close to AOSP. It pulls down AOSP code and gets modified a bit from there. Reality is it doesn't drift far from the AOSP code. The changes made are usually additional APK's. I would have to disagree with you on that one. If it doesn't full support the hardware it was on then it wasn't a stable build of CM. CM on my roommates Evo runs phenomenally and all of the hardware works well. The CM implementation of WiMAX is actually faster than HTC's.

You are right. Every ROM will have fans insisting it is the best. But I actually KNOW CM is the best /fanboy style posting
[Epic 4G General] otee670:
woooo... deep stuff, i see everybody's point
[Epic 4G General] Art2Fly:
The real reason we don't have cm7 is not because of gb source... (if that were the case we SHOULD have had cm6 already), but the fact that samsung has poorly documented drivers for their hardware, and we are stuck guessing/emailing the actual hardware providers for chip layouts and certain calls and actions... HTC and other phones have all of that information well documented and the makers of the phone will actually help you instead of just saying "IDFK" cyanogenmod, miui, and aosp are all in the same boat as they all coincide with each other. It is bs because I know that unless we get this information, we probably won't ever get a fully functioning AOSP Kernel/rom... now, I took programming classes in college and I know the steps to developing something and how it works, but the gentlemen working on these ports asdfghjkl, ahgmsk, epicCM team and more really do know their stuff. However, I really do think we need proffesional help. At this state, no amount of money, no amount of bickering, and no amount of ETA asking will help these things be developed... it really is slim... that being said, I really hope it gets done and many people see this post. Please thank me if it clarified anything for you.

Hey whats up guys,

I just purchased this item from Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYQWXI)

I just got this in the mail today, have not gotten a chance to use it.

I will try to give it my best to review this product.

-Product feels pretty good, solid build quality, doesn't feel like cheap ****

-The phone fits perfectly well if you are NOT using a phone case. I tried to put the phone in with a TPU case, and it did not fit.

-Trying it on my arm, it feels pretty tight and snug. (Not sure if that's how armbands are supposed to feel. My arm feels constricting a bit, I don't think this is feasible if you are going to work out your arms?) ... But I will update this part after I have used it tonight working out my back and biceps.

-There's a cool section for your to put your headphone wire in so it doesnt hang all over the place.

Check out the pictures, I will try to update this more. If you have any questions I can try to answer them here.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Thanks for the review...I"m looking forward to your update. I'm very interested in knowing how this will work for you during arms workouts...and how it would appear to hold up to sweat.

On that note, what earpieces do you use that won't break down from sweat quickly?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Alright in response on how it felt when I was working out my arms. Either I am not an Armband type of guy (I usually wear a tank top or sleeve cut off shirt). I feel as if this thing gets in the way. Not sure if u guys know what I mean when you work out upper body and u like your arms to be free of anything.

The arm band felt like those things you put on your arm when yhou are testing your blood pressure at the doctor... very tight especially if you are working out your biceps.

I think this is good if you do cardio, or lower body exercises that do not require the use of the arms...

The material was okay in regards of sweat... I did not notice it leaking through and touching my phone at all. I personally thought it was going to be very itchy and annoying like how some kneebraces are now made with that neoprene type of material.

With the headphones, I have some type of rubbery material heaphones. There like 10 bucks or something I dont really care if they get messed up though.

Throughout the whole workout experience I can remember adjusting it almost after every set so it can get comfortable... Towards the end of my work out I just put it in my pants... LOL

So if you are not the arm band type of guy, do not get this. Only use it for cardio exercises or lower body so it wont bother you as msuch as it bothered me working out upper body.

Also the wire management part in the first Amazon provided picture, is VERY small you cant fit fat wires or many layers of wires if you guys understand what i mean...

With the front protector clear plastic thing, it wasn't too bad, basically it kind of felt like those ZAGG invisihields over your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Gave it another go last night working out abs and legs, it didn't bother me as much compared doing upper body.

Basic info:

S-OFF

HBOOT-2.02.0000

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

I've unlocked my Evo 4G using Unrevoked3, then ran UnrevokedForever. (was that dumb?)

After that, I tried to update to Cyanogen 7.0 using ROM Manager two days ago, and learned AFTERWARD it wasn't a very good idea, that it's not wiping cache and the dalvik cache etc. fully and this has burned many people. I got stuck in a boot loop (waited 30 minutes) and nothing. So I booted to the Clockwork recovery, and get the following errors:

Doing research this usually means the Micro SD card or the slot itself is boned.

So I've removed the Micro SD, and carefully cleaned and reseated everything. Now I get:

So it SEEMS I might have fixed the SD card, and it's now reading, but the backup is gone? :confused:

Just letting it boot, (and re-trying several times) it now sits at the white EVO 4G screen and goes no father.

I don't have an SD card reader or micro-adapter at this time. So I've been trying to push an update or flash through fastboot.exe connected over USB.

I've been reading the stickied threads, getting fastboot, and ADB (says device not found, but fastboot finds the Evo just fine...) with the Android SDK up and installed on my Win7 x64 PC for the past two days. I don't even know where to start anymore, I'm not even sure if I'm trying to fix the right things. I just need a working phone at this point, and hopefully haven't lost all my Titanium Backup info on the SD Card either.

I hate my first post being a question like this, I've been searching and reading until I'm blue, I just don't know where to begin. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
It's ok, you're not dead in the water. Clockwork Recovery, in MY opinion, is just not reliable. Nor is ROM Manager. I've seen too many people have problems. If I were you, I would get the pc36img for Amon RA, which I have attached here.

Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip (all you have to do is delete everything in the name between PC36IMG and .zip

Exactly like that, and put it on the root of your SD Card, then boot into the bootloader. (Vol down/Power til boot loader appears)

When it does it's scan, it will find the file and ask you to update. Click to yes and let it flash it, then the phone reboots back to bootloader.

Now, it'll scan the file again and ask you to update, but say no this time, then go to recovery.

If you do boot up into recovery, and you should, go to wipe and wipe EVERYTHING, except the SD Card. You have a good start by doing the SD Card already. Do a factory reset/User data, and then each sub category, except the SD card. Then, hit return and flash and flash your ROM. Now, you probably know, it will take some extra time to boot up, but you should be OK.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ_Dual:
Thanks for replying, I KNOW I'm in one of the "asked a thousand times already" situations, I'm not just figuring out which one it is.

I've been trying to get Amon_RA recovery loaded. I could tell this was the best (too late), but am still struggling to push it to the root of the SD card so the loader will pick it up.

Now I'm thinking I can't push a pc36img.zip file to the root of the SD card with fastboot.exe correct? (I know I need to rename it to exactly the right name, saw that messing up lots of folks in my endless searching.)

I'm trying to push it with ADB, but I haven't gotten that to connect yet. I might not have the right USB drivers that ADB likes, and I can't get it to recognize the device, or open up the shell. I installed HTC Sync which is supposed to get ADB to connect, but no dice. Did the USB Debugging mode get blown away when I manually cleared cache and user settings? I'd thought that the Loader screen would have it, but I'm not so sure.

If I can't get ADB working within the next hour, I'm going to swing through Office Depot and get a micro SD card/USB reader or the little shell that makes it regular SD-sized and stuff the file on that way if I have to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
You don'[t have a way to just copy it to your SD Card? A card reader or a different phone you can put the SD Card in for a minute and connect to your computer.

You don't need ADB, but if you can connect via ADB, just copy the file to your sd card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ_Dual:
Yeah, I just got home from work, and picked up a cheapie USB/Micro-SD adapter on the way.

I'm loading the .zip right now.

ETA: Well, that's fixed. SOOOOOO much better than Clockwork.

ETA #2: I wiped/erased everything except for the SD Card....

Now what did I screw up? I got Cyanogen 7.0.3.1 (newest listed stable release) and copied it onto the SD root as PC36IMG.ZIP It recognized it, read it, and then I went into Ammon_RA recovery, and chose the option to flash a zip from SD card, and it spent time loading, prompted me to reboot, then it rebooted and still sits at the white HTC EVO 4G screen. I let it sit for 15 minutes.

ETA #3: Re-loaded everything once more and it's now working great!:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
The cyangen is a ROM, you just go to flash zip from sd card or whatever it's called,. browse to the rom and flash it. You don't have to rename that. Just go back to recovery, wipe everything again and then flash the ROM that way

I have already installed the Samsung drivers but I cant get Odin to recognize my phone while in download mode. I even installed Kies but no luck. Does anyone have anysuggestions? I can mount my card and copy files but just no luck with Odin.

EDIT: NVM I've resolved my issue. I thought that my SGS1 setup was enough but I guess not. I had to reinstall Kies, reboot, restart Kies and went to Tools, then Install Drivers, reboot, then reconnect phone and it worked.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
It may be hard to see in the picture, but my phone has streaks or ripples inside the screen. I noticed the problem day one before putting on a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue or do I have a defective device?
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
If you're referring to the pyramid looking shapes "underneath" your screen that you can only really see from a side angle...that is what allows you to see the 3d images...if you're not referring to those...then we need a better pic, because there's too much going on in your current one to tell what could be a flaw
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
It's tough to see exactly what you mean, but I think I see what you're talking about. The flash reflection makes it difficult to see. Anyways, if it's not the screen protector causing it, then I'd probably say it's defective. I have no flaws or blemishes in my screen at all. I'd take it to Sprint and get it checked out.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
normal...stop looking at your phone in unusable angels under bright lights and you should be ok and never see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
I do apologize for the lousy pic. I was reading about the 3D tech in the screen and understand that is there. Instead of my screen being solid black when it's off, it has random marks that kind of look like stretch marks. In a dark room its unnoticeable however at work(where it's bright as crap) I can actually see the lines while the screen is on. Couldn’t find any info on this anywhere.
[HTC EVO 3D] bluetang77:
I had the same thing on my first E3D and the guy at sprint thought I was crazy. You can only see them at the right angle so they are not noticeable 85% of the time. When I got my hands on a second E3D and held it just right the guy saw the same thing and did a return. No problems with the screen on my new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ericj09:
Mine is evident at any angle. I hate to complain, but I'll have this phone for over 2 years so I think I'll convince my sprint store to trade it out again. First one had large dust, dead pixels, majorly tilted screen. For me if I didn’t notice it all the time at work then it wouldn’t be an issue, but I do.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
My friend had **** appear under his screen.... I want to say it looked like liquid, but it was very uniform and the water sticker things had not been tripped. it could only be seen under bright light such as the sun. Needless to say he returned it, the store employee said he had never seen it before.
