My battery does drain like crazy but it doesnt over heat... Anymore lol. It overheated on another ROM but its gone on this one. Battery life is about 2-3 hours of power use or 6-7 hours of lighter than light use. But I love the features and im always near a charger, so this ROM is coming along nicely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I'm not overclocking at all that's what's weird. You know how in the messaging app you can tap a contact pictre and it'll give you diferent options? On every rom I've flashed I get force closes with that, and here too, and othr random things. A while ago it hard rebooted most likely due to heat since it wouldn't charge, or turn on till it cooled down.

Its great but I thought AOSP roms had the best battery? I drain about 1% every 5 minutes. And I've flashed and reflashed this a couple of times now, I don't have a bad download since md5 sums match up perfectly. Or culd it still be bad?

Oh and I love how I got the 420th post on here and the 520th haha

EC05 does not fix the whistle, nor does the new libaudio.so file. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
I got the no boot from the libaudio. But I reflashed and then it was fine til I reboot and it forgot my cyanogen mod settings. Weird..
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
You probably forgot to change the permissions for libaudio.so, you're not the only one. And it's probably because you flashed over when there was an issue present. It's one of those accidental things that can occur unfortunately.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LemonHead2089:
Thanks for this! Worked perfect! I'm on the EH06 modem & it stopped the whistling for me. Seems random from all the other feedback?
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
Feedback issue can be temporarily worked around by starting a phone call and then immediately hanging up. It works for me until I make another call or change my volume.

I just call my own number and hang up before it even rings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Yea. I'll get it going tomorrow. It's really picky.

Hi guys :) nice work. Lemme know if I can help at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
awesome work on CM7....got the audio to work for calls and no whistle as reported.....important to not overlook that when you move the library file to change those permissions to read/write under owner....was getting hung up on samsung logo when rebooting until i did that step. ...quick question....i have a little lag on rotation...any fix? looks like cm7 is missing screen calibration

:( my phone whistles when i try to type on the physical keyboard
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Suggesting that one has anything to do with the other is like changing your car antenna to fix a blown speaker... the modem handles the radios, nothing to do with microphone or speaker code...

The ROM/kernel is still a little buggy...I had excessive heat when overclocking to 1500. But had to stop because my batter drained in 2 hours WITH NO SCREEN ON. Now i get about 6-7 extended battery. The display takes up alot, even on low brightnes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
This sounds like CPU is not going into deep sleep. I had this problem on the leaks until I flashed one with Odin then it stopped. Try cpuspy from the market and see if you are getting into deep asleep.

I did this and I now have a ringtone back but it won't let me change the ringtone and doesn't use the one I selected. I tried moving the file in there again, reinstalling the rom and redoing the process and rebooting several times. Still no luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mushmaster:
Cool ROM, working well for me. Thanks!

Only real complaints:

-Wifi not working.

-Battery is getting crushed.

I'm confident my install is sound. Using latest modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
Wow, its been a while. I just want to say thanks for what you have done. I was just getting started with my Epic and I remember seeing you name on almost everything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skyjedi:
I Finally got the sound working using the /system/lib file trick. The only problem is that the volume needs to be above a certain point, almost max, to play. It doesn't seem to matter which ringtone i select either it plays the same ringtone. Any one else getting this?

I also get the whistling sound. I've determined that it only happens after a call. The mic seems to stay on even after the call has ended. A reboot fixes it till the next call
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
I've noticed a little bit of lag on the lock screen if I have a new text or phone call. It doesn't respond to touch right away - takes a few seconds.

4g Wimax

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15320672

Saw this from a while back and the a post at the bottom of the page said they took code from an Epic and got Wimax working on the EVO with CM7 did the EVO guys know something we don't about 4g? Sorry if this has been brought up before but I just stumbled on this and was thinking it could help our devices..Seems we are so close to having a full CM7 release.

PS I know nothing about development or programming this type of code. I am just trying to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
ARGH! I have the whistle now. I thought I was going to get lucky :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
What's the status on geting Torch working? One of my favorite things about CM7 is the ability to add the flashlight feature to my notification widgets.
[Epic 4G Android Development] johnbarry3434:
Wi-fi works fine for me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
The whistling happens anytime you change the volume, too. You shouldn't need to reboot to fix it. For me, I can fix it by starting a phone call and then hanging up (you can call yourself and then hang up before it rings). That will toggle the whistling off again. At least until you make another phone call or change the volume again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LemonHead2089:
my batteries last about a whole day. this is where mine is now

EDIT: there are multiple flashlight apps that do work. Torch does not currently work with this build. TeslaLED, Nexus Torch and Light The Way are probably a few of the many other flashlight apps that work properly
[Epic 4G Android Development] imann:
That's not correct, I found an app on the market called Nexus Torch and it works great.

According to my basic testing, the mic turns on when the phone makes ANY sound at all (incoming call, text, notification, music) - anything that comes from the speaker causes the mic to turn on.

Does that help anyone with finding a solution?

False confidence, my friend - I installed by flashing the rfs conversion, then the cyanogen zip (came from SRF 1.2) and my wifi works perfectly, battery is better than I have seen in a long time. Try reflashing, be sure to wipe everything first.

Anyone look at a log viewer with this yet? I'm getting dalvikvm garbage collection entries in the log every about 20 times per second. I'm not sure if that's going on while the phone display is off/it's asleep/etc, but I'm guessing this isn't normal behavior, and could be causing some battery issues, etc. Anyone else seeing this?

I'm also seeing wifi drop randomly, and have trouble connecting sometimes. logs indicate that it's trying to scan while it's already connected, I don't think that's normal, and might be causing the problem.

Anyone care to elaborate on the video not working?

I usually stream xvids from my media server at home to watch on my phone... not sure if the bug is in reference to recording video, or video playback. Also, how do you get Sprint Voicemail to work on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Okay, video playback is choppy but, You can use mx video player to ply and they play perfectly if you use software decoder,not hardware. Video recording is not functional. And I can't comment on sprin voicemail or any voicemail since I don't use any lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Anyway to disable camera button wake? And I can confirm reboots for streaming bluetooth music.

That's only for volume rocker sadly

No, I don't have an extended battery. I think he was saying he did, then posted his picture to show what he was getting with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Quite bad, If you use your phone anyway. If you use your phone for 2 hours (screen-on time) you would be lucky to get 12 hours with the stock battery. Drain is about 3-5% per hour for me.

Once video playback/recording is working, it will be good enough to be a daily driver for me (I carry 3 batteries with me ;)). GPS works much, much better than any of the GB leaks for sure, and of course everything is much, much faster.

Try Settings > Wireless & Networks > Menu > Advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy > Never - Seemed to fix it for me.

This update doesn't format system prior to installing. And it's not something I will change as no other device in CM does it.

You need to convert from ext4 to rfs. Format system, then install.

[Epic 4G Android Development] handisnacks:
I'm fairly certain my epic wasn't. I'm not sure though it's the wifes phone, I just went back to SimplyAOSP. Why not just include a conversion in the install to whatever filing system is necessary for the ROM to run? Every HTC ROM I've ever flashed on my Sensation converts to whatever filing system the ROM requires. I've never understood why people don't do this on the samsung boards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
How sure are you that you weren't? There are or were some roms which auto-convert, it's not something noticeable.

@Handisnacks

Simply AOSP has journaling on by default, I'm not sure whether it converts, I doubt it does being that it's compatible with both, but perhaps the Rom on your Wife's phone before moving to AOSP had been a EXT4 rom which converted. Anything is possible. I'm running fine after moving to RFS.

Has anyone got the email app to work? I'm not talking about gmail, but the normal email app you would use for corporate accounts.

[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
I had the phone just shut down a couple of minutes ago. Not reboot, shut down. It would even not respond to the power button until I popped the battery out and put it back in. The battery level was over 90%. Kind of odd. Got a couple of reboots as well. Still really like this ROM, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
This *should* improve battery life if you have background data on. Wifi will still use its own power management, but your phone won't disconnect from wifi and fall back to 3g data (which requires more power).

I'm not 100% on this, but this seemed to be the consensus in the last thread this came up in, and I definitely didn't notice any worse battery life by switching to it, though I'm always open to being corrected if someone knows it better than me :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I had that happen as well but I reflashed and evrything is good.

I'm going to gve the "auto" setting a try since on lowest its killing my battery.

Can you explain how you got it to work? I've tried a few things and it hasn't worked yet. It turns on but just doesn't detect any speech.

I didn't do anything 'unexpected'. I did a full clean install of EC05. one click root with latest clockwork. Flashed the Rom, installed GApps... then when I held the capacitive search button, it was like, you need to download the google voice app, I was like... ok. Then it worked. Sorry I have no suggestions other than the frustrating fresh install everything crap that we don't like : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:

Quick question? Did you do the libaudio fix?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BoominSVX:
I use boost and I have working 3g, wifi and MMS. Download APN Manager from the market, then extract the attached zip file to the root of your sd card as a folder with the xml file inside. Don't change any names. Open up APN Manager and hit restore. It should change the antenna graphic from red to green showing the working APN. I sent 3 pics today. I never checked if 3g worked before I restored my backup, but I know it does for me now.

This is BOOST ONLY!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Officerpolabear:
