Question:

So i've been using this beta rom for awhile now but I want to try a different rom, can i make a backup of this using CWM and come back to it later?

I'm thinking about going back to Bonsai but i am afraid that I won't be able to restore back to this beta rom.

I've switched between different Roms before but I haven't switched from a CM7 rom before so i was wondering if there is any difference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
You'll be good!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
I have a few questions about this CM7 port and sorry if they have already been asked.....

1.) Has anyone had any problems with the CM7 settings?

2.) Is the kernel used with this ROM EXT4 Compatible?

3.) Am I the only one not seeing the Theme Chooser App?

4.) Does the kernel have init.d support?
[Epic 4G Android Development] il buono:
I have had no problems using the CM7 settings. Since I have easily gone to and from CM7 with EXT4 there is also no issue with that. As for the Theme Chooser app mine came with it so it could be a bad download if you don't see it in your /system/apps with some file explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Links down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
If/when GB and CM7 is released would I need to update from Froyo to install the GB based Cyanogen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
You need to be rooted to flash cm7 if your not rooted you can upgrade to gingerbread manually thru ota

When ever sprint & samsung push out the update! Um cricket cricket still waiting for gingerbread lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
- libsurfaceflinger_client.so needs to match phone (fixes camera issues)

I think that might fix your camera. Try moving that file from eh17 to cm7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Wait did you try?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SocialReject:
OMG Samsung release kernel source already before all of the Epic Dev's upgrade and forget about us smh.

Sent from the future.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
If that gets fixed I'm gonna stay on cm7 til gingerbread drops
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
May also need other camera libs from there or galaxy a cm7
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:

[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Any luck with that kernel daca?
[Epic 4G Android Development] corythug:
Wondering this also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
First build didn't boot, I have another one that finished this morning while I was sleeping, haven't had a chance to try to boot it up. School & work til 8pm then I'll take a swing at it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Do what you got to do there's more important things in life than roms & smart phones I know eventually you will get CM7 working officially!! I still use you're beta 1 here & there its on my sd card thanks for you're hard work much appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Thanks for the update!... can't wait for this to be fully functional.... thaks again for all of you and the teams work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
Just wanna pop in really quick and say thanks to all the cm7 devs around here. Your work is appreciated by us non trolls and i promise I won't complain about etas just as long as you keep feeding me moar cm7 ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Back on this rom again its just so freaking reliable
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
are you testing that build ;)??? lol im just excited for this..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Everyone's excited myself included but relax let the man do what he got to do it will come in time I just learn how to root, flash roms & themes about 2 & half months to 3 now I'm reading surfing online

Trying to learn about developing roms kernels & themes its hard but I'm keeping trying to learn hopefully I will be able to get everything right so I can contribute! But for now the way I'm helping is answering noob ? That I know the answer to everyone need help here & there :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
+ 2
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
lol I'm excited too. I just wanna be on a gingerbread rom with good battery life :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
I want cm7 with camera lol that's all I need to make this my daily and the led light would be cool
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Lol for real. That's like 90% of tthe reason why I switched back. In the end though it'll all be worth it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
This is my daily. I do miss camera and video player, but it works well enough as a phone and interwebs work pretty well. I would love to see this progress further but it is rock solid for my purposes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
out of all the roms i've tested with known bugs, this is the only one i've gone back to a handful of times. I don't use the camera much, but if that was fixed I'd be running this full time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
If 4g was working on it, it would be my daily. And I know that is the last thing they are going too work on
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you are in a 4G area, its hard to go back to using 3G. The only time I have ever used 3G on my Epic is wheen running this ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
I hate not having 4g!!!!! I don't even have fast 3g!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Right now it's the only Internet I have. I am going to sign up for Clear home Internet this weekend, so I won't have to rely solely on my phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
I got 4g.. bt I barley use it... only if I'm atching a video on youtub or somthing..and th connection is kinda sucky lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I don't work tomorrow(have class, but eh). Should be able to put some time in.

Need to clean up init.rc a bit more probably.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
Sounds good! Thanks for the update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
Does this new build boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dharkness:
I thought there was a team behind this and not just deca....
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I don't think he's tested it.

If he has, then I believe it's close to booting but not quite yet.

If camera and video playback start working, this is gonna be my daily driver for a longgg time.

SD media scanning already works right?

I can't remember what works and what doesn't anymore
[Epic 4G Android Development] ahow628:
Just popped this on the wife's Epic since every other ROM gave major issues. Really wish it had cameras but hopefully it will be along shortly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
That could be considered trolling ;)

But who cares? Deca practically is a whole team. And I think in a post back he said he was getting some major help from someone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
anxiously awaiting any new updates on this, now my phone feels left out with my galaxy tab running CM7 as of 2 days ago (with working camera, but no auto rotate)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
With a lot of help from jt, it boots. Just need to figure out why egl stack dies.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dieselg5:
awesome news
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
:).........
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
0.0 you did it agian
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
Well praise be to Jesus!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Awesome news, appreciate the update.

Hopefully you don't get too distracted with the Touchpad ;)

P.S. Please do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Hell yeah! Can't wait until we get another update. :D

Does this fix only the camera?

I really need a changelog here xP
[Epic 4G Android Development] jsmcmahon89:
Never ran CM7 but this is beast!
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I too am in wonders of this fact.
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
This kinda sucks... progres is made when I'm about to leave lol.. heading to the epic touch...
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
How much progress though?!

Damn, the suspense is killing me! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
A .35 kernel booting lol... nothings just gunna be magicly fixed frm that... butit progress anyways... thanks a lot deca and jt :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Is there source for the .35 kernel? :o

I don't know what the advantage is lol.

Oh and thanks deca and jt!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
All the sensors/devices register with this .35 build

Problem is that the leak(EH17) still has outdated EGL. :(

It's killing the entire stack and I haven't found an answer for it.. yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Well I hope you do! I can't wait to use this :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Maybe use egl from gs gb or ns
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Does the SGH T959V (Galaxy S 4G if I'm correct) have a .35 kernel? Was that the one you're going to try to use to fix flicker issues on MIUI? If so I'd hope that if nothing else is similar that the EGL names/files would carry similiarities.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I'm not using their kernel but I will use some of their files because they are similar to ours. Egl is different. Idk if they have a .35 kernel. They don't have cm7 though
[Epic 4G Android Development] latinmaxima:
Congrats on getting further. If anyone can you can deca!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
Woohoo! Progress! Good work guys :)

Yeah man, I don't even know what 4g tastes like. Maybe my city will get it by 2013.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
4G is great when you're at a stoplight where I am, but after some intersections it goes.

Can't wait for this CM7 Decad3nce is cooking up with JT & who ever else is helping them they are great chefs cooking up mouth watering cm7 mmmm so good makes you want to smack yo momma!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
The more I play with cm7, the more I realize how incomplete of a gingerbread build this leak is compared to the other galaxy s devices.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrIsNoSpork:
Its sad how underappreciated the epic is :( I got this phone thinking development would be so much better that that of the evo only to find out that mile high hurdles need to be cleared in order to get things working... I hope within the next year we can get things sorted out enough to at the very least get cm working on this baby cause ill probably be holding on to my epic for a while. This phone is still pretty awesome in terms of hardware and I don't see any reason to upgrade just yet... maybe the prime will change my mind though ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I'm stuck with this phone for a year so I just hope I'll be able to use cm7 one day lol.

I really appreciate what you're doing for us, Deca. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Wow! That sucks didn't know it was that bad but I still thank you for your cm7 beta I have it on my sd card & use it a day or 2 every week srf 1.2 I use for the rest of the week I know one of these days we will have cm7 on are epics like President Obama said YES WE CAN!

LOL :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I honestly think that if we get CM7, CyanogenMod will accept our device as an official device and we'll be supported for a while. Keep doing what your doing, thanks btw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I'm not worried about getting epic merged once I have kernel source; I'm just worried that epic gb release will be an utter half ass job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Once cm7 is worked out, its smooth sailing for future cm releases right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
From what I've gathered, it has to be cm7 compliant which this will not be. (Feel free to correct me anyone)

sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
The device vendor I'm currently working with is the teamhacksung-merge device vendor which we blindly hacked/setup which is nearly 100% compliant apart from the prebuilt kernel(which is solved by source).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Merging to upstream might literally be the easiest thing to do down the road. It's figuring out why samsung hates the epic that is bothering me at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dieselg5:
I literally check this thread every day now, it feels like you're so close
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
What does that mean? Is it something you can do without source?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Once this kernel gets compiled does this mean that the led (for flashlight) and tethering will work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
I think it means putting his build environment and syncing it with what is on the team hacksung git repository

sent from my epic 4g. with the key skips.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
I check this (and many other threads) daily as well. Can't wait for an update. :) Keep up the good work Deca.
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
We really appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this. And we can't wait for the final product! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
I can't stop checking this every half hour!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I am closely watching this myself. Cant wait for round 2
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
I am watching this too. Since I signed up for Clear internet at my place, I won't need 4g or tethering as much on the phone as before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
must be nice having a strong enough 4g signal to make use of it.. I've got 2 places that mostly hold a 4g signal enough to download the occasional app or youtube vid..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
Bump! ! I check at lease 5x every day patience is a virtue !! I'm rocking Dec's cm7 beta as I type this! :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Yeah, I live across the street from a Clear retail store, and a wimax tower. I get one to two bars
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Actually, it might be time for me to put this back on my Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I want to put it on my epic but can't live without camera, that's the only issue, I appreciate the effort put into this though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
maybe add some camera libs from stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I saw your post recomending this, but no one has confirmed to have it working
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
If that worked, then I'd probably stick with cm7.

Only problem I'd have is no video playback...definitely need that in my life since I use netflix frequently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Woah forgot about that, eh I can somewhat live without it but id be bored
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Yeah....hopefully that'll get fixed soon since we got the .35 kernel to boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
That's true hopefully
[Epic 4G Android Development] picklerick:
I cant wait till everything is working on the Epic, thanks to all that are working on this
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Hey decadence.. is there any way to get the camera working in a hacky non- cm compliance way? Untill we get .37 and then get officail support?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
i'd guess you could (im no dev thou) but would it be worth your efforts? probably not :O.

gingerbread is to soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Yeah... but with samsprint we never no.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
No.

The build in OP is already non compliant. It's just something I want to mess with until source drops.

I'm bored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
So what changed between Alpha 4 and Beta 1? If you don't mind me asking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
It's 1 better.

MMS, GPS(once this compile finishes), and stable RIL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
And bt audio (right? Had to go out not on irc atm), or has that not been tested?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Yeah, that too. Uber tested it, and I take his silence on the matter as confirmation. :)

Pairing -> Connection works great too.

Best response ever!!

Sssshhhhwweeeeet libaudio can finally die :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
HUGE thanks by the way decad3nce. Great work, as always. You the man. Just for future video reference.. will you be uploading a new gps fix rom or have an add on?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I'll just upload a full build.

That's why I clobbered. Get rid of manual input from my end in the future.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
... so don't go through the Hell of titanium back-up restoring 52 apps... got it, lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] getut:
Pressure

Thanks for the effort!

I am not a programmer but would love to help in other ways. Is there any place that pressure can be applied with emailing or whatever to help pressure Samsung to get on the ball with the source?

I can even ping our Sprint corporate reps that handle our not large, but also far from small corporate account.

I won't be buying anymore Samsung equipment if its this hard to do what we need to do with them. Luckily only a few of us in IT have these phones as it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Oops. Haha completely overlooked MMS and GPS. And a stable RIL...

Agreed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Can't explain it but this is by far the fastest G-Talk has ever been for me...3G or 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Is there a way to enable haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Art2Fly:
Can I ask a good question? Why is it that the keyboard lag is completely gone in MIUI and CM7, yet in the standard Epic builds, it exists?
[Epic 4G Android Development] piscesjoey:
FMMFL! Had to take my Epic in to Sprint for service, they couldn't fix it, couldn't get me another Epic, offered me a Evo or Nexus S 4G, & y'all can see how my story ends. Enjoy CM7, wish I could've been a part of the party. Thank you Dec & jt, now this should hush all the naysayers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sRs DoLLaR mEnU:
The only thing I want is camera and leds

This might be a noob question but if the other galaxy s devices have cm7 (ex.vibrant,captivate) why doesn't the epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
You are asking a question that has literally been asked a hundred billion times. No other galaxy s has 4g and a keyboard there you go
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
Any luck Deca?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Also because its cdma and Touchwiz is embedded pretty deeply among other reasons. That and the devs at Samsung just straight up suck ass in general. All the kernels that have been given to us have been total hack jobs. This is why I am going to hold out to see if the Nexus Prime is coming to Sprint before jumping to the Epic Touch. Samsung might have crap product support but they have great hardware which is a million times more important.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
You guys are getting a little pushy again.....

Simmer down, when Decadence has progress he wants to report, he will.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Yup let's let this thread die a bit, it'll give Deca a motivation, almost as though people forgot about it lol.

But for real we are sounding pushy again let's just give him the time he needs, for you know, life. Woo hooooo good luck on this beast!

[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Once deca gets this to be implemented into the cm tree, we won't need anyother rom for the rest of our upgrade cycle. Lol.

Hell his work on the hero made it useable in the time of the evo
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
I'm not asking for an eta...but before I redownload this (because I missed it so much), should I wait for an update? Considering I get 40 kb/s and have to reboot a lot its a little difficult to download such a large file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I am flashing this back on here tomorrow...update or not. I didn't spend enough time on this beast.

OG Epic SPH D700 Represent
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
For about a month this was my fall back daily rom.. till i needed the camera, then i went straight for RandomRom 2.2. Been lazy lately and haven't flashed in a week (gasp.. I know, flashaholic that's slackin off) Can't wait for even a small update, and I'll be right back runnin this again for my daily.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Uhh...umm...am I the only one to notice that rebooting to recovery reboots to cwm 4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
What color is cwm 4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Idk...but this one is orange/yellow. It says cwm 4 at the top of the screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
Probably cause its a nexus s Kang. Nexus s was on 4.0.0.2 I think when this cm7 was built
[Epic 4G Android Development] Killasmoke:
I think its blue I'm using the ACS Recovery & its blue & it was based on cwm 4 but I could be wrong ! The acs recovery is great love it
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Lolwut?

This is built from source. I don't push shared object libraries around.
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
I thought it was Kang cause it was in the title lol but I noticed when I flash it a while ago, in about phone, it had the same builds as the NS4G for all the builds, and even the radio I think? I thought it was a port or something when I saw that lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Kanged from source ;)

Right?... lol

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Any build that's not official CM has -kanged appended to it at build time. About phone doesn't list same things as ns4g.

Check my vendor even:

PRODUCT_BRAND := sprint

PRODUCT_DEVICE := epic

PRODUCT_MODEL := SPH-D700

PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER := Samsung

I list where I build from.
[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
Hmmm?? I must have confused it with my gfs NS4G with CM7 on it lol.... My bad.... So how does this have cwm4 on it like ugothakd said?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
ACS Recovery is really great. Lots of good extras and shortcuts. I believe it is CWM4 based

Where is this recovery located?

How exactly would you get the leds and gps to work?

Meaning what would you have to do to fix those two?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sRs DoLLaR mEnU:
This is so much faster than ANY rom for this phone if the camera gets fixed that would be awesome
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
I agree. It isn't bogged down by crapware from Samsprint. I love it! It has its flaws, but it makes a great daily ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Salent:
I'm testing out cm7 and I must say its amazing!! The only problem is I can't use the voodoo control plus. I saw that there is a Phoenix kernel but when I go to download it I get a 404 error does anyone have the download they could send me ? Or another alternative
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
That is a kernel from a different cm7...thats based on one of the alpha's we had...No voodoo for now(as far as I know) sorry
[Epic 4G Android Development] Salent:
Thanks.....that sucks....o well I still love using cm7. Is it common for the SD card to not be read by the computer when using cm7
