[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
Great work on the new build. I was half expecting it to be MTD when you next released a build but its nice to be able to use a more stable rom with the name of CM7 branded on it. Hopefully the MTD issues will be resolved soon because i am really looking forward to that. How far have you guys gone in achieving an epic to an boot MTD? I know you guys were waiting for CWM 5 support for MTD and hopefully that comes sooner rather than later. I just feel like the minor bugs that are still left will be resolved when we finally get the MTD builds coming and then things will start to move more quickly.

Keep up the good work, Honestly, this rom is one of the few reasons I can tolerate still owning this phone after the one and a half years of abuse samsung has put us through. EI22 was a huge disapointment on the stability side so hopefully we will have at least one truely magic rom for this phone soon. (I am talking about CM7.) If you guys ever need donations or anything like that I would be truly happy to contribute in any way I can to expedite the process.

I feel like the Devs in this community, the ones who left and the ones who have stayed, have done a lot more work than samsung ever did on this phone and that is a kind of depressing because samsung is getting paid where as you guys are not.

Honestly, after reading the few post pages back about the arguments revolving around 4g use I had to edit this to at least express my opinion on this matter. IMO 4g is a broken promise of a technology. Wimax was supposed to be basically a Wifi hot-spot bubble that covered an entire city. I remember those promises when I had my Nokia N810 Wimax edition tablet, they basically said that wimax would allow people who could get wired internet into their homes the ability to get wireless, which never really became a reality. I mean technically the speeds are not even 4g (they dont even reach what 4g should do), much less like wifi speeds. I could care less whether or not we get 4g on this rom period. Wimax is a technology that was simply created to sell more phones for higher prices with higher priced plans. Even 4g LTE seems like a shot in the same direction. Now obviously, having 4g access is a good thing if you really need to do some heavy Downloading or tethering on the go, etc. But I dont really see a reason for it outside of that. It also makes tons of sense for a rom like CM7 not to support such a thing because of the inherent finite life span of the technology its self. why even try to reverse engineer code for a phone most of us will not be holding on to for too much longer especially since the newer, "better" version is already out on a large number of handsets already. if anything, i could see cm8 having 4g LTE support and not 4g support because of this.

I live in Baltimore, one of the first cities to get a wimax "bubble" and the times when I can get 4g it is nice to have ill admit, but some times it wont even catch a signal while im indoors where as when i walk out side I will get full bars. Even now sitting in my room, the only reason i get 3g even is because i have a transceiver hooked into my Cable internet and even though im sack dab in the downtown area of baltimore, I barely use 4g because of the wifi I can get from my cable as well as the cafes and shops near by. Yeah, I can understand having it for work purposes and things like that, but honestly I just see it as a waste of battery and another thing I have to worry about. It reminds me of the old days when 3g was new and you would have to walk around with a huge antenna out to even attempt to access it. Though, if you really need it that badly, then don't use Cyanogen mod.

Anyways that's my two cents. Keep up the great work on this guys, this rom has the potential to make a huge disaster of a phone turn into something that is a fully functioning piece of technology.
