Him and the other people working on cm7 and most of the people who have epics don't have reliable 4g. So its last on their priority list.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Two issues - priority and source.

4g is low priority because it isn't a required feature for the phone to work and be accepted into official CyanogenMod, while other features and bugs -are- necessary to have/fix

As for source, we don't have it for the 4g hardware. They may be able to patch in the code from Epic stock roms, but then we come back to priorities ... also, I have heard that full source is required to be official CyanogenMod compliant, which means it may only be available as an unnofficial mod to official Cyanogen, once -that- is completed. This may not be the most accurate description of the issue, but hopefully you get the idea well enough to let the subject rest

How are charging issues and ram leaks related? (They are two separate concepts... sure, it's possible for one to affect the other, but they aren't inherently tied to each other)

And you'll probably notice that the red light comes on when the battery is extremely low - even when not connected to the charger. It isn't a charging indicator at all.

[Epic 4G Android Development] atharchian:
Yep, for me it'll be on when it's below 10% or higher than 90%
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
I never once stated that the ram leak and indicator light were related. i was just stating that there was one and battery went down even in charge.

The red light comes on when the battery is low, yes I know but not when its charging. It always turned off as soon as it was plugged in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Sorry, I misunderstood because both points were stated in the same paragraph, so it -does- read as if they're part of the same thought - not trying to be an ass or an English professor :)

My goal was to dispel any possible misconceptions, which, it appears, is not a problem there, so we're good (I hope)

As for the light, you may see it turn off once unplugged because it has charged enough by that point to clear the threshold...

1st time ever using a CM Rom and GOD is it awesome. Just.....so.....awesome..it makes..me...wana...cryy!! THANK YOU!!!!

none of the "bugs" in this rom (wifi, 4g, wutever else) even come CLOSE to outweighing its pure insanity. Customizability is endless. and it's FAST. Personally, the highest I've ever gotten on any gb rom quadrant was a 1500. got an easy 2100 on this baby. madness. I know thats not everything, but it definitely translates into a blazing fast user experience as well. no stupid reboots. just (i hesitate to say "near") perfection.

sooo..for anyone on the fence about this gem like I was, think no more. Make the switch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justlovejoy:
I know that as far as it goes for helping, if you really wanna help, check out a few forums where learning how to compile a cm rom is talked about and take notes! jmho. you help then by reading the bugs reported and jumping on the fixing em yourself tip, then sharing with the original compilers/community and viola! even if its posted right before you do, it's a helping hand that still gets noticed and maybe even asked to do a specific task! jmho

i have noticed that with this rom, I may actually get some life battery life back after a call or playing music or surfing or w/ev. I am not totally sure why but I have seen 86% go back to 90% after i just let the phone be in it's holster for 5-10 minutes. but that was until i semi calibrated my battery! (full charge/on -turned off and left to keep charging til full 100%, then let completely die without charging and recharged again, but did no battery stats wipe)

reasonably so! I rely on wifi though at home cause where i am at has not been added to 4g signal coverage area by sprint yet and where i work is almost a dead zone to data anyways.. i get sms incoming when i am next to the outer walls of the building though. So I totally understand cause even back where i used to live I only used it when using gmaps navigation.

Awesome ROM - Cool Themes

I love this rom like just about everybody else who has tried it - I can't wait for the next release to get rid of some of the annoyances - but I have to tell you - everyday I find out something new that I didn't know existed on this rom before - and now, I am beginning to find some very nice themes - There are a bunch of themes that work well with with this rom - CM7 themes that you can install with Theme chooser - you'll find them in the market - I found one today called 'Epic Blue n Bold" (Free version) -really cool - and it themes everything - any way - thanks big time to the dev crew building this Rom - we apprecite your efforts - big time!

Did you flash a previous kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
huh? They released official source and then pulled it, but our devs got it first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
That source doesn't contain the stuff for some things. Wimax (4g) is one of the things missing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Here's a weird issue that's come up since flashing CM7. If I send a text that's fairly long the recipient receives a bunch of random charachters. Example I sent something to a band member of mine and he called me and told me it was random characters. I copied the same text and sent it to my girlfriend and she also got it in random characters. Shorter messages didn't do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:

ics theme cm7 on android market...nice too lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] MuDDuQ:
GLassmix nice too
[Epic 4G Android Development] justlovejoy:
It's A common issue and that i have found that no matter long or short messages have a common fix and that is putting the setting in messages to split! I find that the counter is off by a character once it sends but it disables the garbling of text messages!

don't know why but i found that instead of workarounds that give props to other apps, if i give a go with titanium back up and give voicemail a restore that i get the visual voicemail app to work but i cannot get the notification from sprint to stop via text. i am going to bed now and that's all i wanted to say! maybe adding the app to gapps and then flashin with rom or in rom and then flashing rom might get it there a liitle quicker on your phone but... ??? yeah thats my way to get my visual voicemails back> considering i rely on no data notifications at work. the sms actually will work in my favor! but then again the gf calls all day and its annoying after the first couple hours< cant wait to get a pc tech job(IT)!

the issue is that they're (the cm team) not interested in making it work right now. i think he was saying that if u want it to work before they get to it, u should do it yourself. outside of that, this is a developers thread, not a schoolyard. if u wanna talk ****, take it to a pm.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Umm. WOW. Wimax is not a "critical component". WiMax isn't just "added" to the rom. It took them MONTHS on the evo, with multiple developers that rival Decad3nce's knowledge. It's not as easy as it looks.

That being said, it's not that hard to go compile it yourself. I compile cm7 kernels all the time and I'm stupid. Instead of reacting harshly, try to help.

Hold this with a grain of salt, but if I remember correctly from the EVO discussions, you'll need to make completely new drivers to get it off the ground. Also, all new code to even activate the radio has to be implemented too, because stock cm7 doesn't support 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Heffboom.Konijn:
Omg this is fast... Like dear god am i even on the same phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Wimax isn't just wimax=1... we don't have rom source from sanding and that means we have to change the rom components ourselves to make this work. Wimax will take forever, if we get it at all...
[Epic 4G Android Development] qman66:
i read in the op that he recommends eh17 modem. i know how to flash this thru oden. but can i do this with cm7 installed or do i need to revert to touchwiz?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
Yes you can it won't affect the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
coincidence, but my wifi started working this morning after several days of not connecting after I uninstalled Google+. Kind of weird. But then to test I cycled wifi off and now it won't connect again :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Cycle it on and off a couple of times until it connects.
[Epic 4G Android Development] babcocca:
Wimax Continued

So, I take it that the code that is on the cm git for wimax on the evo doesnt fully apply to the epic. It is also the case that the drivers cant be pulled from a stock rom and initialized with cm.

As I have heard here, the reason why wimax support doesnt exist within this particular branch of cm is because it has to be written from scratch.

Is that because its an ideological reason (cm builds from source only) or because stock (or custom) wimax drivers are incompatible? Is it both?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
The reasons you were given harsh responses is because since this project was started almost every other day someone asks about 4g. It has been explained many times throughout many threads of why that will be the last component. To add that too the list of multiple bug postings that everyone already knows it has some a lil edgey on this thread. So good luck to you if you are gonna try to make some drivers for wimax.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Just out of curiosity, if the official GB for Epic drops and Sammy releases the source - will it help with WiMax CM7 implementation - or the drivers have nothing to do with GB source? I did not follow Evo CM7 WiMax development threads so don't know whether WiMax drivers had to be built from ground up because the GB source was not released for Evo at the time - or because the source did not contain the needed driver code. Lack of WiMax in all honesty is the only reason I am not flashing CM7 :(

EDIT: just read the post above mine - my intent is not to p*** anyone off with the question, but with the official GB possibly ready to drop any day/week/month :) now...

I have this rom on my daughters epic 4G and everything is great except for one little annoying issue... it might not be related to this rom but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has had the same issue before. Whenever you put your hand close to the bottom of the phone near the mic piece it makes an annoying whistling sound.... like a high tone whistle sound. Any ideas what this might be? Like I said it's only when something is near the mic hole.... when you pull away it goes away and comes back when you put it close again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:

Lockscreen Gestures

Has anyone tried the lockscreen gestures? AWESOME!!!

go to Settings/Cyanogenmod settings/lockscreen/lockscreen gestures

The default lockscreen lets you add a slide to unlock a custom app, but adding gestures lets you draw whatever and unlock to any shortcut/app/activity. So I can unlock to gmail, direct dial, direct nav home, etc. So damn cool!:D and it is not openly visible on the lcokscreen taking up space.

using the new kernel and switching to ext4 DEFinitely improved the keyboard tweak. it's just as good as the froyo tweak now. as for general speed, i'd say it's about the same. perhaps a bit faster but nothing really noticeable. also compared quadrant scores and about the same on rfs and ext4 (still very high for gb tho). flashed the 1 without voodoo btw...don't need it especially with this dsp manager.
