I have an HP Touchpad with CM7 on it and I have paired it with my Epic with CM7. They see each other fine and Pair but both say Paired but not connected under bluetooth settings. Is there a workaround for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Bluetooth pairing has issues I think.

Hey anyone know how much progress has been made since the last build? Not asking for an ETA, just curious to what I can look forward to. Maybe I'm asking too much lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Silly question, of course someone knows. And he'll post it right here when he's ready, too!

But until Deca does post, best to wait silently - just because you don't use the phrase "ETA" doesn't change what you're asking

White / Green Wireless Icons?

Hey folks, does anyone know why the icons change from white to green on occasion? I'm assuming white is some form of inactivity and green is active, but I'd like to know exactly what the tipping point is in geek terms! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] iatedeadpeople:
Rumor has it when it changes to green, thats when googleis accessing your phone, or uploading info to your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
I think white means you've connected to the network, green means you've got internet access.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Can anyone confirm these theories, if not with actual evidence, then at least with an explanation of how you've come to that conclusion? Thanks to everyone who responds!
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
The signal bars only appear white when you're not synced to your google account. Once you're signed in to your google account, they'll always stay green.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justlovejoy:
Network connection comes and goes where I'm at so since I'm used to the intermitent connection I can say that with this rom it takes a while longer to reconnect to towers for reasons idk but when its white that's like sending and waiting for a response, second its green... you've got full access!

So I have beenrunning this for a few days now with the new kernal and the only thing I can't stand is video playback and mms, but this is most deffinitly my daily thank you cm team, also will this kernal that was relased be worked with instead of the current one in the build how it is?

flash the "ext42rfs.zip" from the op, then wipe everything and reflash. or flash the rom then flash ugothakd's ext4 kernel *immediately* after flashing the rom.

Um... if they can't give an estimate, then how can they give an exact time?

Just don't ask about progress, there is no need for them to respond to an extra post in addition to doing what they will do anyway, which is to update the OP and announce the update. The questions serve no purpose other than to clutter the thread unneccessarily, regardless of how you word them.

[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
The rule of thumb should really just be that if no progress has been posted, then there is no progress.

It's for our own good. I know it feels good to be abreast of what the devs are chit-chatting about behind the scenes, but if you don't actually understand how an informal development process like this works, you're only going to be disappointed. These guys are mature enough to filter their own promises and make sure that when they have something to say, they deliver.

If you check this thread once a day it's pretty safe to say that you will NEVER be behind in information.

EDIT: bump posts like these dont help either :P

Hey fellas. Getting ready to flash another rom for my buddies epic 4g. I have SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2 on his epic right now. Hes not getting the best battery life ans asked me to update his epic 4g. so i saw this and said wow. i used to use cm7 back in my Hero days and loved it. Im on the Evo 3D now so currently now using any cm roms. Anyways, do you guys recommend this rom? can he use it as a daily? hes not very phone savvy so i want to put something on that he wont have to many issues with? and lastly, if i do use this rom, is there anything i need to do ahead of time to his current setup in order to achieve best flash????

Thanks for any information....
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
This has few issues and can be quirky at times, however this is a continuing project and will most likely be updated tremendously from here on as we just got source. For now you should odin toadlifes stock stability rom if he wants gingerbread with no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
I'm going to go out on a limb here... not gonna happen.

The process of development is time consuming in itself obviously, and combined with work, family etc. it makes things more challenging. For someone to develop and then constantly update everyone on progress for every minor change would nearly double the amount of time the actual project takes.

When it is ready, you will know about it. For now sit tight :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] CogDancer:
Great idea! You find some investors so we can pay the devs, I'll tell them they can quit their day jobs.

No! This is an alpha release, and if you look at the very first post you'll note that there are still some small but important issues to be resolved with features such as video recording & playback, wifi stability, and 4G. Wait for the full release, or at least the beta.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Companies run the way they do, in part, because they are all about making profit. These guys do this stuff for free, for their own purposes, as a hobby.

How dare you assume that you have any right to make demands or snarky suggestions? You are not their boss, and have absolutely no say so in what they do with their time, effort and talent. You are at the mercy of their whims and desires on this one, and therefore should just sit back, shut up, and appreciate what they offer.

Or, you could learn how to do what they do, and run your own show. Good luck! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
This year has gone by so fast I can't keep my dates straight - thanks for the update -

by the way - to those who have been begging for an update or some kind of report for progress on CM7 need to take a deep breath and get a grip on reallity - we are extremely fortunate to have anyone who is willing to take their hard earned knowledge and skill to create something that makes our lives easier and improves a product we pay somebody else for who in turn do not expect to get paid - that's kind of like winning a brand new car and complaining because you have to buy gas - what's up with that?

Deca,

May I respectfully request that the 911 bug be added to the OP? Not being able to place an emergency call is a big deal to some and may keep them from flashing this ROM. It's not a bug you want to be "surprised" by at an inopportune time...

I've got a Canon PowerShot SD600* that I never use, 6 MP, 4x optical zoom, 4 GB Ridata 150x SD card. It shoots good pics & good video, but only 480p I believe. I'd be willing to donate that if it'd motivate you to cater to our every selfish whim! ;)

That sucks! BTW, backups are your friend! :p

* I can't find an exact match on Canon.com, but the SD600 comes close. I've had it for years, lost all documentation, etc. and the identifying marks on the camera don't match up to what's listed on the site. <sigh> What can you do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Any chance you can restore the partition, rather than lose everything? What do you mean by "fried?" What format is it in? I know with NTFS you can rebuild a lot of the indexes. If it's corrupt sectors, you could try using SpinRite to restore the magnetic surface.

As others have said, take your time. Worry about recovering more personal things before coming back to CM.

This might have been answered elsewhere, but is there a Github repo somewhere that stores your work? For the future it might be beneficial to frequently sync with Github (or another backup service) so that the project is not dependent on a single point of failure such as an about-to-fry hard drive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
How does only one partition fail? Wouldn't it be the entire hd failing? Or is it just the linux itself failing? What really sucks if it is the hd you need they are all crazy expensive for the next 6 months due to flooding in thailand that have factories that make a part for hd's. Just a suggestion why don't you run you linux partition on a separate hd from your os when hd's were really cheap lol.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Why would his harddrive have been in a hot skillet in the first place? That's the problem, right there. :eek:

Decad3nce, I appologize if I came off selfish when I posted about recovery options--yes, of course I want CM post-haste, but I was just trying to be helpful. I'm getting the impression that a few people around here think we're asking and making suggestions purely out of selfishness--that's not the case with me, at least. Good luck getting back to good, I've been there myself!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
This is a known bug in the current (and previous) release(s). It's just one of those things you've got to deal with when running bleeding-edge, alpha-or-earlier software.

For whatever reason, when you place a call the volume is maxed and ignores whatever value you have it set at. Once you pull the phone away to "wake" it and click the volume rocker up or down, it immediately jumps to your prefered volume level, plus or minus what you just clicked. This is why it seems to go from HOLY $#!+ LOUD!!! to quiet time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
A single partition can have data corruption or get wiped/formatted, but if it's fried then the entire hd is fried.

Maybe Deca is a little fried from the demanding pricks who think they can dictate how he should do things, or the ones who think they're clever by asking for an exact release date instead of an ETA, lol ;)

I'm guessing we have a minor semantic issue with the term "fried," but that's irrelevant ...

Battery drains faster than charge

I friend has installed this ROM on his Epic, but had to revert because the battery was draining fast even with charger plugged in. This is not happening with the stock leaked GB ROM on his phone.

Just wondering if anyone has ran into this issue, if there are some settings like turning off sync that would eliminate the issue. I do see that others are running this ROM as a daily driver and don't seem to have this issue. I don't have an Epic so I can't tell him what might be happening.

Thanks

Les
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonybeau:
I've been running this ROM for over a week and get excellent battery usage. With light use, I have gone as long as 19 hours and still had 30% charge on the battery. I'm currently at 77% after 5 hours with at least 25 minutes on actual phone calls with a bluetooth headset.

I have no mods, no external kernels, google+, and a minimum of "surplus apps". Basically, in my experience it works exactly as described in the release notes.

Maybe it was a bad flash or a misbehaving app?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Most definitely.

I've lost my fair share of data due to a combination of hard drive failures and running purely RAID 0. Now I run two arrays, one 0 (system) and one 1 (data). Sorry dec, hopefully you don't have TOO much trouble putting the pieces back together!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Smuuv:
***Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with the company***

Decad3nce, I'm sorry to hear about the drive. I'm sure you had more important stuff than just your CM stuff. I've been fortunate to not suffer the same fate...yet. I work in IT and know people who have, it really sucks!

Recommendation, not a lecture.

I wanted to recommend a company that has a backup solution like Carbonite but works with Linux. I'm running Ubuntu myself and searched and searched for a solution as I know it's only a matter of time before my 4 year old drive bites the dust. I've been running CrashPlan for about 4 months now it its been backing up my files automatically. I tested the recovery by backing up everything to an external drive, upgraded to 11.04 and restored 80 Gigs worth of data. It worked perfectly but I was skeerrrd that Comcast was going to boot me over my data usage, 80 Gigs up and back down. Anyways, whether you use CrashPlan or some other solution is irrelevant, just back up before you need it.

Well, good luck and thanks for your work with CM7. I'm excited about the finished product.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Im on this ROM and have pretty amazing battery life. Running a CM7 theme, widgets and not using WiFi. Almost 3 hours and only 2% battery use, not to mention an unheard of 10 out of 10 satellite lock
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Nice! Are you using the ext4 kernel and how long (in minutes) has the display been running for?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
My battery life is very good. I made sure to reset the battery info in CWM. I have the new kernel with standard partition. I have push email and Google+, that's about it (I make most other things manual update). The screen uses the most power usually. (I'm not sure if the auto dim is working...) This is my use over a standard work day while listening to music with screen off.

Also, make sure you have a good modem for signal strength. Before, when my signal was crap, it would burn battery all day trying to connect.

having an issue on the 10/22 release, with bluetooth (a2dp)

able to pair and connect to my headphones without issue, plays music fine for a while without issue, but then after a certain amount of time with the screen off (typically a short bit after unplugging the phone while it's sitting on my desk or putting it in my pocket to go walking) it will begin to skip for increasing periods of time (half a second, 2 seconds, 10 seconds) until it disconnects entirely. the bluetooth headset is still on, my Epic's bluetooth radio is still on, but it loses the Media icon in the notification bar and shows the headphones as "Paired but not connected."

I can leave my phone plugged in, with the screen off, and it will play music flawlessly for an indefinite time... but once I unplug it the issue starts. alternately, if unplugged, I can sustain music playback by just keeping the screen awake. might there be some power-saving feature or low level issue with controlling the bluetooth radio, or maybe a cpu priority/scheduling issue?

this is my first time trying CM on my Epic, so I'm not sure if this was present in earlier versions, but it was certainly okay on all the stock roms I've tried along with the ACS Frozen rom.

also, obligatory thanks for the hard work and otherwise very fast and functional rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
I had a similar issue with skipping, though it eventually went away. A good temporary fix, however, that almost always corrects skipping is to use SetCPU or any other capable app to set the minimum cpu frequency to 200mHz rather than 100mHz. it WILL kill the battery faster, obviously, but no skippage. i still have continual issues with a2dp where it won't connect to my car occasionally..think its just a common bug though
