Hey guys,

What does this mean?

https://github.com/EpicCM/android_vendor_cyanogen/commit/a4a51332104bcf35a409445055465bf38ee01cc9
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
It means, we're close to be added into official. And preliminary things are being done to set us up properly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tdwp16:
Apro could you tell me what programming languages are essential to develop roms and or kernels?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Java. Smali. XML.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
and C for kernel stuff
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Ya know, deep down, I never really thought this would happen. Always held out hope of official CM, but never really believed. Mad props to all the devs that never gave up and everyone who has helped bring CM7 to the Epic.

Thanks marcusant and rodderick. I plan on teaching myself some languages. i currently decided to learn, java, c++, and c#

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

What should i start with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Personally, I'd suggest learning Java. I believe its the easiest. From there, you should have an easier time crossing over to the other comp languages
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdbc:
There different schools of thought on this, so you're likely to get a few different answers. Through my observation, it seems that universities prefer you start with c++, while a lot of people in general start with java. C++ is more complex but more flexible. Java is object-oriented so easier to work with (in my humble opinion) but in turn less flexible than c++. I started with VB, which is an object-oriented language from MS that is even simpler. I'm taking on java next, followed by c++. I guess I just like the idea of getting solid in o-o languages first. It's largely your preference. They all seem to have at least some amount of correlation to each other, so once you learn one, the others come easier. Have fun with it. I know I do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
No. There's modifications that need to be done. Like adding epic kernel, lib/hw, and lib/egl folders. Typically that's enough to get started though.

DISCLAIMER: the stock ringtone is really girly. Change it before entering public.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
haha.. i haven't used an actual ringtone since I bought this phone.. but good lookin out..
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
same here, started with vb and moved on to java. object based languages i think are easier to learn with. just remember that learning the logic behind the code is more important than the code itself, otherwise youre lost. vb is good to learn with because it has visual components, like a flow chart, that help you to see the structure of your programming. plus it gives you a solid understanding of how to draw up your own flow charts, which i think helps a great deal when writing large programs.

back to cm7 kang tho. ive been running it for 23 hours now without any problems, thought i had a random reboot but my battery just died. yeah im ADD. but, my gf who was like "i dont wanna rom that has no video or 911 on it!" got jealous of the theme chooser app n made me flash it for her. so you got one tech oriented geeky flash addict to test it, and one every day basic user to test it as well. will keep you guys updated. good work epicCM team!

Awesome work on the 911 fix -- very big deal since it's winter season and all, who knows what emergencies there might be due to inclement weather.

I wonder if I should still test out whether or not it works for me by dialing 911 and saying I did so by accident when someone picks up :p

I'm currently running epicmtd cm7 2.3.7 and i'm on the EC05 modem.

I"m trying to update to the EI22 modem.

I tried going to the EC05 and then using the EC05 to EI22 flashable zip using cwm.

I'm getting the following error going from EC05 to EI22:

From the looks of it your flashable zip might just be corrupted. IE: bad download. Maybe try re-downloading that and see if it helps.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ylixir:
Aaaah, the horror! Avoid C++ at all costs imho! It's just way too much complication with absolutely no gain. My straight C code is always much cleaner, better organized, more portable, simpler, more readable, less side effecty, more object oriented, etc...

I'd actually reccomend going bottom up, starting with C. It's deceptively simple, and a lot "closer" to the "hardware". Once reasonably proficient with C you'll understand (and appreciate) Java and C# more.

Top down is viable too. Start with Java or C# and then pick up C when you need it. But I like the bottom up approach better, keeps you grounded, and you won't do silly things with the syntactic suger the higher level languages give you.

Also sooner or later you'll always be falling back to C for that 1% of the time when higher level languages just don't quite cut it.

Been watching this for a while now, and its impressive the amount of progress that has been made

Will this 911 fix help the other Galaxy S phone that had CM support dropped due to 911 issue?

Also, is the video recording fix going to be harder than the 911 issue?

Could care less about 4G, but lack video recording is all that is keeping me off CM.

How is the battery life on this Rom compared to other roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
I don't think that's truly a bug, but a feature that's not part of a pure AOSP build. Those buttons are probably specific to phone models and something slapped on in Touchwiz or phone by phone in the kernel.

In other words. don't hold your breath. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ddrbeastappv1:
Pretty impressive. Haven't been on this latest build too long.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Thank you all who are working on cm7 for us. Really excited about the recent progress.

Is there any way that our e911 fix can help the vibrant? My gf has that phone and the discontinued support of her phone due to this bug is a real let down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
a bit above average from what ive seen in the last 36 hours or so since i made the jump from custom bml based roms to the cmmtd. not as good as what i was getting with marcusant and ck23's roms, but thats probably because of the UV support on the samurai kernel they use. had my phone set to undervolt pretty low for the lower freq's and never go above 600 while screen off. im giving the "a bit above average" rating as someone whos been on the phone constantly either talking, tweaking settings, downloading and installing themes, and restoring apps from titanium. glad to see the e911 fix is already up, as someone who flashed this rom on my fiances phone as well as my own. ill be updating hers as soon as she gets home from work. makes me feel much more secure knowing she'll have it god forbid anything should happen, especially if she has our kids with her.

again, great work cm team. no bugs to report. been getting a few force closes on a coupla restored apps, but im guessing thats from a bad backup via titatium.

the epic is my first android phone, was using blackberries that i got from work before i decided to get my very own phone (awwwwuh!) so this is my first experience with cyanogen. im loving the customization of this rom! will be rooting and flashing this on my kindle fire if its supported. unless someone hips me to something different...

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

are you downloading the zip straight to your phone via xda app or your phones browser, or to your computer and then copying it to your sd card? ive noticed that downloads straight to your phone are prone to errors. also, have you tried using a .tar via odin to flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samiyr:
Great Rom

I came to CM7 from the mtd Miui and i though MIUI was great, but i kept getting reboots, so i thought i would try out CM7 considering thats what Miui is built on. The 911 fix is great, and as far as video recording i use Videocam Illusion, i can record with resolution up to 800x480. Im still not sold on the 3g speeds i average only 500-700 kbs. But when i was on ACS 5.5 i would average 1 - 1.5 meg down on 3g. But again great rom, no reboots, wifi for me is great and I look forward to see where this rom goes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tjfoo:
what should i do, if i have only .ovpn config file? my vpn provider only provide this. Any thought(s)?
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
There are two authentication methods for OpenVPN: static key and PKI. With static key, there is only one key. with PKI, there is a public key, private key, and CA key. You will need SOME kind of key to connect to the VPN. It is possible that this key is contained inside of your .ovpn file. Open this file up in a text editor (like Notepad) and take a look at it. it should say the address of the VPN, the port, the type (tun or tap), and some other details. If there's a key, it will be a long string of random text. without any kind of key, you cannot authenticate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
With this rom (and other 2.3 roms), there is a portion of my screen in the left-center that will become non-responsive (randomly) until I turn the screen off and turn it back on. This does not happen on anything prior to 2.3, and as a result, I've had to stay back on 2.2 if I want my screen to work all the time.

Can anyone help me with this at all? CM7 is so awesome besides this problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
You could use Tegrak Ultimate in the market to UV. i am using it and so far, I have about 5 hours in this morning, with about 30 minutes screen on time and (because i am in my basement) 87% time with out signal, and i am only down to 90%...sooooo...i would say battery life is friggin awesome! granted its a small sample, but great nonetheless!
[Epic 4G Android Development] playcs:
I transfered the file into my phone via usb cable. I followed the instructions exactly by using odin to go to EC05, then flashing from EC05 to EI22 in CWM. There's no tar or bin files for me to go to EI22 directly yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
Yea I guess ill have to study C. Ill be taught Java with in the next year or so. I already know C#.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Our E911 fix will only work on CDMA variants. So, the Fascinate and us. I doubt the Mesmerize and Continuum have CM, but if they do, it'll help them too.

The Vibrant and Captivate are gsm, so our fix will not work for them.

will the new build wipe data like the 12/10 build did or was that just because of the MTD conversion?

It didn't wipe for me. Clear cache and dalvik and all should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
That was just due to the MTD conversion. Just upgraded to new build.

Ran into an issue with upgrading my modem to EI22 from EC05 after moving to MTD. It fails. Going to have to ODIN back to stock to upgrade then reflash everything.

Also seems that the notification power widget won't let me add the flashlight button anymore.

Otherwise things are running solid on the latest build. I feel a bit better having E911 working. Nice job guys.

Only for CDMA Sammy variants.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
There are 12/14 builds up which revert some overlay issues as we try to fix the last remaining things(Essentially take you back to using the proprietary overlay blobs).

I've also added mirror links to the upload files in the OP. You can often find new builds there even if they're not present on k.22aadfasdlfkajsdflaksdjflasd mirror.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
Wow, with all these new builds (some might say "nightly" lol) it feels like we've gone official already! Once ya'll do go official, does the current cm team just keep going with cyanogenmod resources at yurf disposal, or does it become a more colaborative effort with cyanogen mod devs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
It's always been collaborative --
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Agree, I tried this back before it was MTD and returned to a stock based rom (regrettably) when I missed recording something cute my kids did. I have been hesitant to play with it since MTD because having to Odin to swap back makes the barrier to go back to stock much higher. Now that 911 is here, a video recording fix will have me all over this (as long as wifi holds on for me, but I never had problems with it in the past as some have had).

Additionally I would like to say how much I truly appreciate all the hard work going here. Really our phones would just dwindle into obscurity eventually but this CM7 team is giving them life well beyond their intended span. When Samsung updates are long gone and not even dreamed of we will have Deca and his ilk to thank for keeping our device relevant. My hat is off to them and I hope they know how much their hard work means to us. Cheers to our Epic CM team!

Handsfree Call Bluetooth Problems?

I use my phone to stream music A2DP to my car's stock stereo (2011 WRX), and it works perfectly. My problem comes when I try to use the handsfree to make phone calls. The controls work fine, people can hear me fine, but they sound horrible. Very muffled and garbled, pretty much unintelligible and definitely not usable.

It seems that if I place a call before I play any music (which is generally very difficult as music starts to play as soon as the BT connects), the handsfree call audio is fine 75% of the time. No logcat yet, I will try to grab one later today.

Has anyone else seen this?

EDIT: This has been present on every build I have tried, and I started at 10/22 IIRC. Currently on the last BML build and about to update to the 12/14.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:

Thanks for the plug, Specialksg1. WhiteWidows, I'm about to upgrade to the 12/14 "nightly" build, and if I have screen rotation lag I'll yank the framework.jar file and edit it with the fix from the topic that Specialksg1 linked to. I'll get it up some time tonight, if not in the next hour (4:30pm CST).

I felt the same way! Once I switched to CM7 from SRF 1.2, I've been holding out hope that our devs would eventually get it to the point we could officially merge. These are exciting times! My thanks go out the the Epic CM team, and especially Mkasick for resolving a major issue and roadblock on the path to official CM support. Cheers!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, stock Sprint VVM works for you, Adam? What have you done? I'm
