Question... What features are working on CNET extra build I don't want to go Mtd yet. and where is the extra build at?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
Deleted by user.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
just out of curiosity, why is this still considered an "alpha" build? i mean, just based on the buglist, etc, it sounds very much ready for the beta label, IMO.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Thanks for this! Looks like it moves market cache to sdcard instead of /cache partition removing the 25MB limitation. Nice find. Curious if it works for others as one reviewer on CM7 said it didn't help. (???)

Is it TV out via the audio port or via microusb to HDMI?

I'm not sure that anyone has the cable to test with since it's tvout through the head phone jack... I just ordered one but it'll be next week at the earliest before I have it and can test.

If this works I'm going out and buying (wait is it ps3 or wii controllers that work on cm7?) And a tvout cable
[Epic 4G Android Development] tdwp16:
Both work I believe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Ummm you don't have net really are you fn serious you just typed that message on the net.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
they both work with the right app... im not sure what it was called, but look on the market for "wiimote" and i'm sure you'll find something. however, i know someone (tmillar) was working on tvout for the epic for months and months before finally disappearing without a solution. i havent heard anything about tvout since then? but it looks on the github like they have something worked out :)

edit: wii controller app is called "wiimote controller" and is free, ps3 controller app is called "sixaxis controller" u have to pay for that one tho
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
If they do get tv out working on this that would be amazing. I bet though it is easier to get it working on aosp rather than touchwiz. My guess is if the settings are there it will be working soon. But id like to here from noobnl or deca regarding this?

Alright guys, I'll make this short and sweet: on miui, want to try a new rom. I want something snappy and yet customizable. Any takers willing to convince me to give CM7 MTD a try? What makes this rom the best?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Stable, simple, really good developers that actually know what they are doing (I am on the MIUI team, so I am not trying to insult), FAST, pure android, more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
it's worth trying, simply because u can always change it if u don't like it. although everyone else does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
So marcusant you're saying, even though you're on the MIUI team, that this CM7 build is worth it? I just want video playback to work again along with mms. I really am intrigued with CM7 themes also.. Well any more to say with CM7 MTD?
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
Is anyone else having a battery drop like 51% to 19% in a matter of 2 seconds with no usage??
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
CM7 is WAY better in my opinion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] toastyc12:
I have one. I'll test it out and post my results in about 30 minutes.

Edit: guess I should read ALL new posts before I jump the gun :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I really like the cleaness of this rom. I'm not a coder, but the coding seems to be really efficient, and not burdened with excessive clutter... it just works really well and snappy. I can't wait to till some others devs get on this and give us a few OC kernel options. This thing is gonna be a beast. It's a beast now. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
I am loving this rom... battery life is best it has ever been. No real issue with wifi,gps,bluetooth. Its very snappy and smooth... just waiting on the fix for videos... and my vm being wacky telling me I have a vm but I call it and no vm is there...

I just turned off the notification for vm... giving google voice a try.

Now the question is do I buy a microusb to hdmi cable.... hmmm. This one's for the infuse. Methinks this is how tvout will work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
CM7 is awesome rom. Running it on my touchPAD, until scott gets MIUI finished ;). Both MIUI and cm7 are ASOP, so already an advantage over TW roms as its less bloated.. but it really depends on what you want! You want endless customization and themes, the evolution of android, go with MIUI. CM7 is a pure google phone in a sense. For me, if I ran CM7, I would have to download widgetlocker, go dialer, and go launcher to get it to my liking all of which eat up ram. MIUI has the features I want built in.. also the 'devs' working on MIUI are pretty much using cm7 for fixes and optimization. So its not like amateurs are writing new codes or what not..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Thanks for the reply.. But, don't CM7 themes do the work for you? (with customizing)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Just made the switch to MTD. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
Question. can you point me to the latest CM7 build with the most functionality for ext4. I'm not going to go Mtd just yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Tvout on galaxy s devices was just composite red white yellow to 3.5mm cords. I ordered one on ebay for 2 dollars shipped for the galaxy s i9000. However as stated above it doesn't seem to work yet but looks like noobnl has been working on it on the epiccm github.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Regarding TV-OUT

Currently the thing with TV-OUT is that it's a hit or miss type thing on the basis that no one is legitimately sure if it was intentionally "broken" by Samsung in HW or in SW. So I'm going to try to cut off the complaints about it I see coming now ahead of time. No the team isn't sure if it's going to work, it can be an either or type thing, it's not needed to be official it was just put in as a feature, as many of the older users are aware there was a ton of work being put into this before and it wasn't ever completed due to issues with the complexity.

Just to reiterate, this is a feature which may not be able to be fixed because Samsung made it this way intentionally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
Where's the latest ext4 release?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Ahhhh, what version are you running? If so that just may be the latest ext4 release.

Also E911 doesn't work on those previous builds so I can't necessarily give you that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
I'm running miui v5 and I want to go CM7
[Epic 4G Android Development] -SpeedofSound-:
No problem my friend, your welcome.

I have used this method on 4 phones so far...my two boys phones, my wife and my phone...and it worked flawlessly on all 4. I too am curious if anyone else has been able to use it successfully. I was a bit thrown by the 25mb limitation and i'll admit, I was a bit discouraged by it, but once I discovered the way around it, I was back in business and excited to have such a phenomenal OS, CM7, on our phones.

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbjem:
I flashed the 17 build this morning, and it's rockin!

Just reporting that video playback *almost* works. I get sound, but the video doesnt play. If I scroll with the slider though, I can see the frames as I move it, but it stays stuck at whatever frame I have it start playing at again.

Keep up the great work guys!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nbunn:
Yes, then it shuts off a minute later?
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
Cani just say THX CM7 TEAM! I know in previous posts I've just thanked Deca and all of this awesomeness is a joint effort of many people WAY smarter than myself, and whoever fixed wifi?? BIG THX to you good Sir! That was the only big bug that was making me crazy! Since the 12/17 build, it has jumped right on wifi and has been solid All day! I don't really know what the hang up is for people being hesitant on the MTD conversion cuz once your on CM7 you wont go back, no reason to!

I don't have access to a computer and I want CM7 so I want the ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
as always ymmv

Not an official package build just something I threw together :

http://www.mediafire.com/?897szrdvkih15wy

This uses the 12/16 system files and the last ext4 kernel (11/24) I had available to me. If the e911 fix was done in the kernel it won't be in this build due to that fact, but the framework changes and the video changes should all be in there. Wifi is left stock as it's been working great lately. I haven't tested this on my own phone yet as I am quite happy with the mtd build. Any issues with this build please do not bother to post about in this thread as it isn't from the maintainers of this project. Nubernel v0.0.2 should work fine on this for overclocking and the like. One thing I noticed after uploading is I forgot the change the build.prop to reflect it isn't mtd, but that should be easy enough to do on your own if it raises any issues.

Apologies in advance for anyone who may have issue with my post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
not sure u can or should even try to use ext4 on mtd... mtd uses yaffs
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
I'm not on mtd.. And I don't have comp to flash back and go Mtd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I used the same method I did for my 12/06 builds I was reprimanded for playing with and it worked out great. I did it up until the 12/13 builds with success and went mtd finally for personal use on 12/14. But for sure it's not for anyone who is uncertain or uncomfortable with it. The only part that's yaffs2 is the kernel and the script that tells it to format the drives to yaffs2 and such I believe. All that is out and is replaced with the past ext4 cm parts.

Edit: mistake on my part, it uses RFS with Ext4 support, you'd need to use the rfs2ext4 script still or however it used to be before the MTD/YAFFS2 switch. I'd still recommend using the official build over this but for those who don't want to for whatever personal reason maybe this will help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
No it jumped back to 26% and no its slowly draining.

[Epic 4G Android Development] j00manji:
I really like the amount of progress I've seen on this ROM tho I have yet to convert over to MTD. Soon tho, soon. Thank you Deca and all who are involved!
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
The only reason you would need a computer is if your on a previous build of CM7 and your wifi was screwed up. I couldn't download cuz cuz it constantly, and i mean constantly, shut off wifi so I had to use a computer to download. If you Have the zip just flash in cwm

No, he may want to return to any other rom besides cm7. Like stock ei22. For THAT, he would need odin. I see the reason why he wants to stay ext4. Now shh
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Thankyou for this.... I can verify this indeed does work. As long as you adjust HW to SW.

Who knows maybe this will help the devs. come up with a fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
So can someone please post the last version of ext4 it would be greatfully appreciated for that because I've been a fan of cm7 for a long time but right now I'm waiting for officalsupport but I can deal with ext4 so I can always revert when I need to. Thanks in advance. And I know there's an earlier post but I want decas version no offense, his official version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
I can't speak for deca officially, but I'm 99.99% sure there will be no further updates to EXT4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Best I can offer in that regards is page 300 the modified wifi build. Sorry, pal. I am sure someone else has the completely stock version laying around some where.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
So, the latest dl is the 1214 MTD version, or what? And also, would just flashing thru cwm convert me to MTD?

Darkjje, is that a full rom? Or just an update? Cuz I'm on miui trying to go to CM7 MTD
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
It's the full thing, without the gapps as usual so you'll likely want to grab that too. I am about to start playing with MIUI myself if I can make a backup of my current CM7 MTD myself
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Alright man, help me out. I was on the miui non mtd build, and I downloaded the latest cm7 mtd, then went into acs recovery 5 and did the "pre rom install" option, then tried to apply the cm7 mtd zip, but got aborted. What do i need to do differently?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Thats what I did while on acs recovery 5. But I previously had the latest clockwork installed. Idk if clockwork was still installed and hiding but it reverted to the latest clockwork and flashed it through that. But i had no abort's.

Idk if this helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
So you're saying I should flash the latest cwm and try it from there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
Yes for this reason you are right, I just assume he would be like myself and not want another ROM but CM7. On the older builds I can see why someone would want to revert back, things didn't work but as they keep fixing things daily this thing is better than any ROM I've tried. SRF 1.2 was solid and on my phone for months but CM7 is far beyond that imho. battery life, more avail RAM, snappier, way more customization, no CIQ and the possibility of ICS on the horizon... What more could you want. 12/17 is the best build so far for me, my wifi finally works! This ROM is going to keep our Epic in the game!

I tend to have issue with AcsR5 myself and tend to use the latest cwm instead with much better luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Yeah. ..that's pretty much how it went four me to. I was on acs recovery 5, but it somehow reverted back to cwm , which I had installed previously. So I'm thinking that your problem is that you need official cwm 5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Go to formats in recovery then pick format /system. Then try. Sorry. That build had a bad build.prop.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Can't hurt anything to try it out... Just takes a few min to flash cwm.

But I'm not 100% sure this will fix your issue. Like I said I didn't get any abort errors.. It just automatically went to cwm.

[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Some people (like myself) will not use this for a DD because of no 4g. I have no internet at home and I tether off of 4g so for me that's a deal breaker.... when going to a place with no 4g (or if I know I'm not gonna need my cpu for anything) I use this rom.... so ya some things that this rom does not and probably will not have is a deal breaker for some to go to mtd because it is a hassel to go back and restore. I myself don't mind. I love this rom it is great but some people want their 4g. After all why pay the extra 10 bucks a month for something if you have access to it but can't use it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Well I did the whole format / system thing, in acs recovery 5, and now im hung at sammy screen :( What do I do?

Edit 1: Flashed cwm 5, did the same thing, even with format/ system, aborted still and still hung at sammy screen.

Edit 2: Reinstalled the miui non mtd build i was on, and got past sammy screen. But guys, can anyone just tell me how to go from what im on (miui non mtd once again) to the 12/17 MTD build, correctly? I really wanna try this rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
Ahhh... Forgot about 4g, never worked real good in Utah anyways so i never used it, plus i have wifi everywhere i go. That sucks for you people who need 4g as it more than likely will never see the light of day on this phone. The 3g works good for just browsing but downloading, tethering for gaming and such is definately a deal breaker...

[Epic 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
I would say your best bet would be to grab Rom Manager and use that to flash CWM. The epic is in the list now to flash CWM5. Then check the MD5 of the build you're installing. There should always be one with the download link. Check in ON YOUR SD CARD to be sure it transferred right. After that, choose to flash a rom through Rom Manager and select yours. It'll reboot and do the install all by itself. If it stalls, just Pull the battery and 3 finger boot into it. You'll get where you need to be and it'll continue. This will wipe everything, but it's worked for everybody else afaik. Just a thought.

Like I mentioned before video is working now like others have reported also since 12/17 came out. But I discovered that it will play videos previously recorded by the phones with no issue, since we can't record with camera right now. But it will not play another format of videos that is imported like movies. But like someone mentioned earlier the app MX video from the market works just great playing the videos.

Now I only hope that they can include the volume hack soon, the default volume on the epic is way to low and the dsp manager does nothing to improve it or make it louder like on other builds that have the volume hack
