I'm so excited for this to be done! So does video recording work? How's the battery life? (I know ksmullins said its amazing, but he always says that the first time he tries out a rom lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i can't get bluetooth to work either, just tried it with my parrot bluetooth in my car, it says pairing rejected, I been using it with multiple phones for 4 years, its like its not popping up the screen to put in the pin code. is there a way to fix this?

oh and my battery life is horrible, i haven't installed anything different then what i've been using but there is noticable difference in battery life between this and the ACS ICS beta 4 rom. of course that one random reboots and this one is smooth as butter :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
decad3nce, I found a bug that might be causing you some grief. The kernel appears to be based from the Nexus S 4G. I noticed in the logs, the system calls for /system/usr/keychars/cypress-touchkey.kcm.bin for the device cypress-touchkey, but that binary driver doesn't exist or even belong on the Epic. The correct call should be /system/usr/keychars/melfas_touchkey.kcm.bin for the device melfas_touchkey. This appears to be a difference in hardware vendor between the Nexus S 4G and the Epic 4G for the screen and capacitive button controller. I did notice in my research that it may also handle the headset activation button.

Could this also affect haptic feedback issues as well as throwing power management off for the rest of the radio controllers in the ROM like the Broadcom WiFi/BT, and Qualcomm cellular/GPS?

BTW, I am using the 10/22 build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Hey jerk. I've been using this one since the 10/15 build and the battery has improved greatly. It was decent before but now its actually great. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Hey I was just messin :p

And alright...I think I'm gonna have to try it out today. I'm done with my touchwiz phase since ICS came out :)

But first, how's the hardware keyboard?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
I just typed this reply out as fast as I possibly could. Judge for yourself. With :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Just wondering if we need to flash the ext2rfs zip before applying this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Just need to read the OP before flashing

Well, the people who are working on this rom have already said they won't focus on 4G until everything else is stable, and their consideration is what matters

Unless you plan to tackle it yourself

Or do you know the developers better than they know themselves?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
My personal experiance is great. There is not one thing I would complain about. My wifi ran 7 hours last night without one single interruption, when I flashed 10-22 over 10-21 it even connected on it's own. 3g speed and connection is amazing. GPS wow wow wow 9 out 9 satellites, 4 meter error factor and connected within 20seconds. Phone has been off charger 6hours and 22 minutes and its at 68% with almost constant texting several phone calls and lots of music play. I don't use blue tooth so can't report on that. I use Go SmS so everything is good in that aspect. The themes available for CM are killer. This just gets better and better with every update. I'm running this all the time except when I'm at work, I have no wifi and due to the building I get horrible 3g signal so I depend on 4g there, so I flip back to Marcusants ACS ics beta rom. Great job guys!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Yes, definitely. Until further notice, as EXT4 support has not been built-in yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
It sounds like he did, considering he asked about it. The OP is a bit ambiguous about it being a MUST-DO though.

This is that condescending attitude I was talking about that isn't welcome here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Agreed. The OP isnt the best structured, which is mostly why you see people questioning about how to flash. Besides, some people are like me; they just want to make sure they know how to flash this correctly before they do it.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Yes convert back to rfs before flashing the rom. Another tip I have found useful is to hold off on flashing gapps until after your wifi is set up, that way your download is easier. Also, when preforming your wipes, go into mounts and storage, and format your data, system, and cache. I know most ROMS do it before they flash, but it just makes me feel better.

Engage slippyfist!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Good point, I had to look back at the OP to see that it only says, "If you have trouble" instead of pointing out that if you're on EXT4, you will have trouble ;)

I suppose I was remembering really early responses that clarified the reason for that requirement

My apologies to seoulseek80 - I shouldn't have treated your question as if it was answered clearly in the OP, I made a mistake. No hard feelings?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
That and the video recording and playback
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
+1 on that thanks. has anybody been able to install maddoggin mods on top of this yet? i tried and keep getting stuck at the sammy screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I had to go back to acs ics as blutooth won't pair on this. Hope to find a fix soon
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
No problem. It didn't state that on the op unless I'm blind but I assumed it should be and wanted to make sure that converting was correct. No hard feelings
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Man, this country will be a much better place if more people understood that admitting a mistake shows more balls than trying to make the other person seem wrong. Kudos :D

On-topic, this build seems almost perfect...ima give ita try. Thanks CM7 team for all your hard work! Howeveri can't help but feel you released this just to shut the naysayers up, which earns my respect even more than your work on the hero :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Agree, once wifi and video are fixed, I'll be flashing this on everyone's phone. Even though I get 4G here, I can care less about having that since it's so spotty anyway. Keep up the good work CM team.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
I downloaded the update from the OP about two hours ago and flashed it. My phone gets stock at the SAMSUNG screen. I noticed the zip file's name was different than what was listed in the text. It's "update-cm-7.zip". I'm at work right now & don't have a way to check the md5 sum.

I restored my backup (ACS ROM I decided to run while this one works out some bugs).

Could I have gotten a bad download? Bad flash?

I usually have trouble-free flashes, so I'm kinda stumped.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
You probably didn't convert to rfs before flashing
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
yea probably a bad dl. mine says update-cm-7.1.0-epic-KANG-1022-signed.zip

also if you cant get past sammy screen, flash the gotorfs file in the OP above the Download file.

good luck

and my battery has been on for 11 hours with 1h 41m of screen on time. all on wifi. im at 51% batt
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
Anyone have any thoughts on this? It says pairin tog rejected because it never pops up the part to put in pin
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Thanks for the kick in the pants, guys! Such a n00b mistake! LOL

I completely forgot the ACS ROM is EXT4. I'll try converting back to RFS, then flashing again. If that doesn't work, then I'll have to download again at home later today.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
use that thanks button! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBakey:
Could someone possibly compile a kernel capable of UV? if not, no biggie as I'm loving the rom as is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
Thanks pressed for both of you guys that responded! :D

Wiped, converted to RFS, flashed ROM & Gapps... good to go! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Yeah i just realized this while playing around with cm7. Apologies as this rom is a lot more advanced as prior ones Ive installed
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Thanks to all the CM team for all the hard work you guys have put into this ROM! I've been keeping up with the CM work since before it showed up here (on other forums, noobnl, etc.) but I've been reluctant to flash 'til it was more stable & feature-complete.

I think that time has finally come, and after getting my ass kicked relearning the intricacies of Odin, I'm running CM--it seems pretty sweet & buttery smooth so far! Other than getting my butt handed to me again by WiFi setup, I'm liking it.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] seoulseek80:
Wifi seems to run great for me. someone suggested you first install cm7 then run wifi and then install the gaps. its been working perfect for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
I know the recommended modem is EH17, but has anyone had a bad experience with EC05's modem?

My PC at work won't let me run Odin, so I can't install the EH17 modem until tonight.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
I've been running the ec05 modem and have only experienced the problems outlined in the OP. Maybe it's recommended because CM7 is ginger and EH17 is ginger, but when I came from SRF, I never bothered to flash the new modem and have yet to have any issues
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
Let's not forget sending MMS. I haven't flashed the latest build, but the OP does say that receiving and downloading MMS works, but not sending.

Oh and I guess LED works now?? Awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dharkness:
i can send mms now with the latest build, looks more stable compared to 15

i only got one force closed with ics market. previous versions i get random fc from any apps i have. wifi still picky.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
The one bug I was waiting to see fixed is supposedly working properly in this build. I really, really like having my notification LEDs. I'm all setup & running now, so we'll see what happens when the texts from the wife start rolling in shortly! :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
cool. i'll flash it later tonight then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
... you're able to

send

?

Are you using GoSMS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Yeah I just tested mms again I can receive but not send using STD android SMS app. I have to use gosms to send. √
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
Downloaded the 10/22 build and then hit power > reboot > recovery and ended up in a boot loop on the Samsung screen. Battery pull and 3-key combo got me to the right place, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Because the Reboot to Recovery isn't built into the kernel yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Does the simple Reboot option work though?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
I have no idea.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
It does work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Those with mms issues on last build need to wipe all the telephony database related bits in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony and reboot. Or just do a complete data wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Will this allow mms sending?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Yes. Just sent my gf a mms from stock app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sephiroth009:
Figured id never clutter decas thread ever again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
@Deca and team - If you're taking requests, would you mind incorporating rndis support into the kernel?

When you have the time, of course - it would be greatly appreciated :)

I've been thrilled with everything about this rom, so thanks for your dedication and hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Of course.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
MMS works 4 me : )
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
It was fixed last night. Just need to force populate the telephony databases to clear out old settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
I am able to send and receive as well using the std GB MMS. Only problem I'm having is the WIFI working when it wants to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mort3987:
Can you guys send mms while on wifi? Mine works perfectly once I'm on 3g, but it just sits on sending while on wifi. Great job figuring out the problem with mms guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Normally a flaky wifi isnt a deal-breaker... but lately - Sprint's 3G service has been painfully slow...
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I just did, confirmed working mms that way (you just reminded me to test on 3G, so thanks for that, lol)

I am not using a static IP, but I did set the wifi sleep policy to "never" - it seems to have made the connection stable for the last four hours :)

Awesome :) I eagerly (yet patiently) await proper tethering support - it almost hurt to flash back to SRF the other night just so my sister could finish an online assignment when their internet dropped out
[Epic 4G Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Setting the WiFi policy has made it better so far for me as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shane6374:
Can someone explain how to do this? I found the folder in root explorer, but how do you wipe the data from just that? I don't really want to do a full system data wipe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
delete the files, reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Really the only thing keeping me from using this now daily(well has always) is the heat I'm getting while using the phone and when its idle. For me its still impossible to use when charging because it'll reboot and give me a temperature warning.

[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
Okay, so I have a simple noob question: I can just flash the .zip that's in the OP, right? Like, I don't have to flash any other the older builds THEN flash the new zip? And if so, since I'm wiping data, MMS will work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
If you were on an EXT4 ROM before then flash the gotorfs.zip in the OP, other than that, the google apps also in OP.

Mms sending works in go sms for me... didn't know if this was only in reference to the stock messaging or not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
Right, but I'm on an RFS ROM right now, so I know I'm good with that. I'm just concerned about MMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Ok my personal update STD android SMS working perfectly. SMS and mms working as it should. Confirmed both on data only and on wifi and data connections. No hang ups. Wifi working perfectly been connected on wifi today since 2pm est so 4 hrs. No interruption.not using static IP or anything special, it picked it up yesterday and connected on its own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iceman19631:
Confirmed...I've tested MMS both normally and while using WIFI, no problems with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
From now on, everyone just read my posts before posting here. MMS send is fixed. If it doesn't work for you after updating the build, then wipe data and try again. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
Sweet. So what are your guy's Wifi sleep policy on?

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Alright, my bad. I just wanted to double check.
[Epic 4G Android Development] justlovejoy:
I do a thorough check before asking, thats also after a thorough search this thread as well... just dont know where to go if i want to learn to do this myself, love the hard work but now i got internet that works and am no longer subject to dial-up or 3g intermittent speeds and the weekends off. So I'll Google for now!

Oh yeah,

THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I know this may sound stupid, but is there anyway to seperate the system sounds from the media sounds. Meaning, I want to hear my screen taps without adjusting my angry birds volume everytime I open the apk. Not a huge deal, but just a quirk of mine.

CM7 already uses the tmobile theme engine -- there are numerous themes you can download from the market. Just search "CM7 Theme" and then use Theme Chooser to switch on the fly.

I'd recommend you take the route of setting up your resources to work nicely with this theme chooser so that you don't have to decompile the framework each time you would want to make a change.

The last three builds have all used kernels built from Samsung's Gingerbread sources for the Epic, as posted on opensource.samsung.com (I understand they've since been taken down, but we snagged them first :D ). The kernel configuration does not contain an option for Melfas, only Cypress. However, the build

does

include the Melfas precompiled libraries.

I doubt that the Cypress vs Melfas situation impacts the headset activation button, since that is not part of the touch screen. It might impact haptic feedback, but that part is working fine on my phone. I get haptic feedback on the lock screen, and from Swiftkey X and long-pressing the Home button.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Are we good to flash over previous build with no wipe, or should we wipe regardless. Not talking about asses. By the way, CM7 team, you guys are amazing. I am having a hard time keeping up. You guys are the reason the epic owers in this community don't need to need to upgrade phones. Your work is highly appreciated. Thanks coming your way.
