Guys, from what I know, MTD isn't that beneficial right now.

However, it does help us get future updates (from, for example, cm9) because the other Galaxy S's such as the captivate and vibrant have the MTD filesystem.

Why would anyone want to bother with the ei22 roms when cm is available? Could somoeone please tell me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] danherbert:
Because CM is incomplete for our phones right now. This ROM is a beta still. If you look at the OP there's a list of things that aren't working yet. Some of those things are important to people and without those things this ROM isn't worth it to everyone.

If you're OK with a few things being missing from this ROM, then you could probably use it as a daily driver.
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
well, right now EI22 roms are capable of recording video and playing high quality video, also they have 4g. At this point our cm7 does not. As for me I don't live in a 4g area, nor do I care about watching high quality video that much, so I'm sticking with this rom... I just wish there was a more recent update, it sounds like awesome things are happening in development.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangambino:
That is all true. I'm gujessing with all the efforts thus far, the remaining pieces will be put into place soon. Future upates and improvements are just a matter of time at this point. I'm very excited. Cm is the best thing for android imho, and am thrilled to see it on my epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Video Recording doesn't work.

Simple as that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:

[Epic 4G Android Development] travmofosho:
Also Wifi is not fully stable. I depend on WIFI because i download large files on my phone which is why i am using EI22 roms. If in CM7 it worked, i would rather use it.

I say not too far from now.

Wifi, large files?

I just downloaded a whole Linux ISO on it and md5 sums checks out perfect. It sometimes says I'm not connected.to wifi when I am. Its a virgin, you gotta lube it up and then it screams with pleasure!

Ei22?

No thanks! I don't think I could leave selfkang unless I started my own rom! I'm learning, I'm learning! Lol...

4g?

Overrated! Battery life is better without it too! Good for on the run and data emergencies I guess.

You?

Guys, those 3 words tell it all.

If by that you mean finished, and if finished means 4g and video recording and whatever wierd cm bugs figured out, I will never leave cm7.

Also, some people straight up like touchwiz (ei22). Why do you think it was ported to the nexus?
[Epic 4G Android Development] saramon:

Does this version make use of the ei22 sources or are they still working on merging that into it on git?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
It uses it. The kernel is based on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaqual:
Exactly... you use the ROM that's right for you. I use 4g and wifi a lot, so I haven't switched, kinda miss it since the Touch Pro AOSP days...
[Epic 4G Android Development] danherbert:
It's frowned upon to ask for ETAs for any aspect of the CM.

If you look at Github, you'll see the latest activity was just last night so progress is being made.

The Epic CM team is trying to do this right, so there's a lot of work that has to go into this aside from just fixing video recording/playback and 4G like what's listed in the OPs bug list.

Your best bet is to simply be patient and a new release will come "when it's ready".
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangambino:
Wifi seems to work enough for me. Advanced wifi lock, I believe its called from the market seems to help the ssleeping problem a little. Or maybe its just me. It does switchb to 3g, then reconnects right back. I don't use video recording that much, so this build is fine for. Me. The trade off is definately worth it, for the battery likfe,speed, stability, and features. It just seems the cut and pazste roms don't even compare to this, EVEN with no 4g, and video recording, imho
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
For me it's just about the 'gotcha' features, stuff I will want to use in a pinch that I know won't work. Video recording is a big one, but it's avoidable and in public I can just act like it's 'broken' or my 'phone sucks'. At least it's something I know about. I have gotten along in a 3G service area long enough that the ladder isn't an issue either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
The wording for my post was harsh, if 4G is a must, this is not a rom for you. However if you'd like to try it on a non busy day you should. If anything odd happens you can always ask for help, I'm willing to help. :)

Has anyone been able to get OPENVPN to work? I have tried everything. I loaded my .p12 key files in the secure storage, I have loaded the tun.ko module, and no matter what I do, it always says "unable to connect, would you like to try again?". I don't even know where to look for a log file.... Any ideas??
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
if you are talking about your router password probably go to portforward.com 4 instructions on accessing router settings and go look in settings or change the password
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
You're awesome, just sayin'...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Or you could dual boot, some REAALLL fun stuff is coming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
No this has nothing to do with any router or password. I am talking about the built-in openvpn support in cyanogenmod. This is the way it's supposed to work:

Go to settings->security and import the PKI certificates from a .p12 file on the SD card

Go to settings->Wireless & networks->VPN Settings->Openvpn->Add VPN

Enter the server address and choose which certificates to use from the secure certificate storage

Connect to VPN

But this isn't working. The certs are loaded, the connection is set up, but when I try to connect it always says "Unable to connect". I know that my server is working and my certificates are good because I tested them on other devices.. I just can't figure out how to get the built-in Openvpn client in this build of cyanogenmod to connect to the server.. It may be something I am doing wrong but it seems broken.

Do I need to download and insmod the tun.ko kernel module manually or is it already compiled into the CM7 kernel? I have tried both ways and it still didn't work, but I'm curious whether this is supposed to be necessary...

Does anyone know where the VPN log files are stored?

EDIT: The openvpn client from the Android Market does work using the same certificates and settings, so I am assuming the built-in Openvpn support in this ROM is non-functional. Please add to the bugs list.

Having an issue with an app on CM7.

I installed it last night and restored all my apps to the phone, which all worked fine except for 1 app.

Winamp for some reason did not restore. I cannot see it in my app drawer or in manage applications. However, when I try to reinstall it, it says that the app is already on the phone. Thus, the installation fails. How can I fix this?

Essentially, the phone thinks its installed, but it is not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Did you use Titanium Backup or something of the sort to restore the apps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LunaticWolf:
Mybackup

However, I was finally able to get it to install from market, so all is good now.

Is there anyway you can OC this? recommended program if so?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Only with a kernel that supports custom (higher) frequencies. You can use Voltage Control or SetCPU to adjust voltage and frequency settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LunaticWolf:
Can I install any of the gingerbread kernels with CM7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:

I had a similar issue. I found it in my settings/applications, cleared all data, uninstalled, rebooted and installed just app, then after it installed I applied data and it reappeared. Rebooted to check, been there so long I can't even remember what app it was! Lolol

The wifi is driving me nuts right now. What's odd is that for weeks, it just worked; it's suddenly gone downhill. I've tried doing a clean install and a bunch of other stuff. Getting difficulties to connect, lag, and very frequent dropped connections. Gonna test out the wifi lock; will report back.

Edit:

It's very much a YMMV kind of thing - as noted in the start, wi-fi is inherently unstable. Not much I have done seems to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Wifi seems to drop in the most annoying ways. The wifi shows. Then, when you are about to download something on the market or use the internet, it just drops out. Then it takes forever to figure out whether it'll reconnect to wifi or use 1x/3g.

Thinking about moving off cm7 for a while. How is speed/stability of Legendary? Will nandroid data restore work good if I flash it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Restoring nandroid data to a touchwiz rom (legendary) should give you a nice softbrick until you wipe data. And why not dual boot ei22 from sd card for when you need it?

sent from my always aosp epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] xBTx:
Because you can't dual boot tw and non tw roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Yes you can :) check kexec thread
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
As far as I'm aware, yes you can. You Kexec the rom and kernel on a partitioned off sdcard. It loads both from the sdcard until you reboot. Then it returns to your normal. You can Kexec a tw kernel for an AOSP rom, it won't boot, or it may. But since it's done by Kexec you're at a nice safety net. Rodderik as well as mkasick are/well dualbooting through roms.

I have it working on my device, there's a few different versions of the app floating around. grab the one for Galaxy phones from the Epic Apps section. The app in the flashable gapps isn't the talk w/video.

It is a bit laggy over 3g but better over wifi. it will pop in and out of sync over 3g but it's still useable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Sheesh, when the new rom comes out (if) and I'm not looking for an ETA, I'm just hoping that Dec opens a new thread, this one is toast. As a matter of fact, the only thing that hasn't been discussed is how to MAKE toast. I prefer cinnamon. :D

Hey AproSamurai, that fancy kernel of yours gonna play well with CWM5? Any word on CM7 being compatible with CWM5 at this point?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Yeah. Now stfu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
LOL I inserted it into my sig and it's gone unnoticed for a bit, funny how that happens haha, yes it has since before CWM 5 was released as well as kexec support, nubecoder and ugothakd's kernel should as far as I'm aware use reboot to recovery nicely. :) But my kernel is still a personal project.

The next build of CM to be released will allow for reboot to recovery to be possible. As well as the governor options added by nubecoder recently in the commits. For now, kernel developers have to add it into their kernels. From either the EpicCM repo commits or ugothakd's/and or my own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Problem? Why you got to do me like that? I didn't mean to offend anyone. If I somehow did, I apologize.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
okay the dualbooting thing is still a bit vague to me. So I can run this rom ontop of another rom, and I'll be able to use 4G while on this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No, when dual booting, you only boot into one rom at a time, and that rom is completely unaware of the existence of the other - you just have a second rom you can boot without flashing over the main one in internal storage
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Thanks for the info. I might try to dualboot now :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
No, you can run it off your sdcard. 4G isn't as simple as that for CM unfortunately. It allows you to go to a rom which allows for 4G meaning a TW rom in this case off of a partition on your sdcard. However right now, if you're unsure it'd be best to stay away from it just for sake of uncertainty.
