First of all congratulations to the entire CM7 Team for getting the "Official Status" -

Secondly - somehting kind of strange in the download area - I noticed the other day that the last avaialble file in the main download area was dated the 23rd- the same day I looked again and the latest file was dated the 25th - later that same day - the 25th was gone and the 23rd was the latest -

Today - the same thing happened - I don't know if it is a browswer issue for me or something strange going on - but it seems others have had issues (Someone recently posted the last release they colud find was dated the 23rd...I finally found the link posted by Noobni with a more recent file dated the 27th (thanks) but I had to search for it - others may not be so lucky - don't know what is going on with the way links are displayed - but sometimes they all seem to be there - and then a few minutes later - some appear to be missing - ???

I grabbed a screen shot a few minutes ago to show you what I mean:

The "Dec 25th" build is the same as the "Dec 23rd" build. Deca was only configuring his computer with some extra RAM and was re-testing his build environment, and as someone else mentioned, switching servers.

As many have pointed out, its easier if u wait for a EpicCM team member to post an update, that way you know for sure its an "update" and you aren't unsure as to if it is or not. I kinda jumped the gun that day too tbh :p

I've gotten about 10 reboots, all while streaming over bluetooth though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Where can rfs.zip to flash? And how can I switch between ext4 n rfs by only using recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
I think your asking where the zip is?

Its in the op and you jst flash the zip and your rfs
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
Damn, I was gonna try this out til I saw the keyboard skips and the phone reboots while streaming over bluetooth. I use both those quite a bit. The keyboard I can live with but I don't have any wired headphones to use.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
I'm very excited to see all the progress with Cyanogen. It's almost to where I can use it daily, but all data is too buggy for me to rely on throughout my daily business. (3G and Wi-Fi are both buggy, plus no 4G, but I knew that going into it.) Hopefully my feedback in my previous post will help developers iron out remaining annoyances. I'm going to be jumping onto the new ACS ICS EH17 and help them out, as I see that as something I can use daily and still help development. When I buy my next phone, I plan on getting my Epic on Cyanogen permanently, as it won't be my daily phone, and maybe then I can help developers test more towards a polished copy.

I'm so thankful for all the work that has been put towards Cyanogen, and the Epic in general, on XDA!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
When I flash the rom I become rfs? I ask became I had previous flashed and my phone did not get passed SAMSUNG screen, I used cwm3.1.0.1 and acs cwm4 based recovery,

Edit: omfg I'm blind thanks dude, lmao I was looking for rfs.zip but now I see "gotorfs.zip" XD

Someone said the had skype video with ffc. Where did you get it? It won't install from the market for me. Weird but I had to restore the kindle app from TiBa because it also wan't available on the market.

I am so happy to have a daily driver version of CM. I switched from the captivate to the epic when I switched carriers and have been waiting for CM ever since. Never going to buy a phone that doesn't have CM again.

Thank you so much deca.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
yea i might need to do this also.. mine wont boot past sammy screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I can try to add ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
They know how to do it, and had it working in previous builds, I'm lost as to why its not working though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maltydog:
I am new to this Theme Chooser business. Not sure if I am doing it right. I have searched for some CM7 themes on the Market, successfully downloaded them, then I open the Theme chooser, and they do not appear. Not sure what I need to do next. Could they have been downloaded in the wrong place?

Liking this rom a lot, as several people have said, the data is a bit buggy at times, but I am sticking with it for the time being, though. I will try to Odin to EC05 when I get home.
[Epic 4G Android Development] josidhe:
Though I myself use GV, it shouldn't be treated as a permanent solution to a bug, nor should the existence of alternatives negate the validity of any bug report, as this is almost universally detrimental to any development.

It'd be like someone reporting a broken feature in the browser and people telling him to just install Dolphin instead. The problem will be forgotten, but the browser is still broken.

Not to rant or anything. Alternatives are great temporarily, but I hate seeing them treated as solutions when they're more like circumventions, and too many bug reports these days are shrugged off with a "why were you doing that anyway?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Insmod a few modules. Then grep for data dumps. You'll see why its left out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bradbutter:
anyone else notice your phone beeps very quietly right before it rings (well doesnt ring but vibrates) its not completely silent
[Epic 4G Android Development] younggangsta_s:
I had to integrate because it was the only way I could get voicemails without people having to enter may number again after they got sent to Google Voice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SladeNoctis:
The beep bug is awesome...sometimes

I know it sounds like a alarm in some schools but here in college when you bored its pretty good thing to distract the professor. On my phone its like a g-spot :D had to touch the bottom of the back of the phone right above the hump and it beeps. But when it last too long it can really hurt somebody ears luckily its not automatic i think. Anyway great job Deca and the CM7 team for everything i hope everything is going well in life and thank you for you guys for taking time to do this for the community.

Edit: It seems like the speaker is continually pushing out sound from the mic. When the phone is on a flat surface, anything near the mic for example your finger will cause the beep sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
Something in the build. It will not ring, but you can set it to vibrate and it works just fine.

Alarms DO work though. Nice and loud.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjree:
I got the ringer fixed on my phone. Copy the attached libaudio.so file to /system/lib. If doing with with adb, remember to run chmod 644 /system/lib/libaudio.so. If using Root Explorer, set permissions on libaudio.so to "read" all and "write" on owner. Reboot the phone and your ringer should work.

FYI. This is the libaudio.so file from the previous CM7 build for the Epic

PS. Got it attached. It's a zip file but not flashable. Unzip and extract the libaudio.so file. The movie it to /system/lib.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ac16313:
Anything else get fixed or broken by doing this?(alarms, notification, headphone, feedback from mic, ect.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Weirdest thing ever, I opened an apk with androzip and it wouldnt allow me to press the install button XD so I pressed every button I had and my arrows allowed me to select it lol

Hooooooly crap. Congrats guys! You have worked extremely hard to keep this complient the whole way, even getting some **** for it, but it's obviously paid off!

Also...

I'm just gonna quote this at least once a page in anticipation :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpmorris123:
Impressive accomplishment for folks on the Epic4g CM7 Team ... they worked their butts off!

Been tracking the build through GitHub and the hours put into this project are incredible. They worked for the benefit of the Android community and Epic 4G owners without compensation or reward. That's one helluva generous group.

While I have no ability to fully comprehend the scale of the work and individual contributions, but from my tracking on GitHub I know that tons of hours have been put in by Decad3nce, noobnl, UberPinguin, DRockstar, chris41g, and Rodderik (and likely some others). We owe these folks great gratitude and thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
I wish I were rich! Everyone, we should be donating to these amazing devs. This is remarkable. Just when you think the Epic is down for the count, someone pulls through clutch for us. Thank you times 1008754432467 cmteam :-D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jaculop:
I just pulled the gun and flashed the ROM. I can't put down my phone now!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Congratulations, and many thanks to the Epic CM7 team! I continue to be amazed at how quickly you guys squash bugs and add features!

Bravo!!!

So does this mean I can DL updates through ROM Manager now? Hmmm, time to experiment!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
Thanks- I didn't realize that - I must have missed that in the thread - this has become an incredibly long one - testimony to the quality of the ROM and the people working on it - I appreciate your pointing it out

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I stumbled on to a minor quirk with the lockscreens on the 1227 release - the lense lock will go to any custom app you have set for other lockscreens (it uses the first one on the list for ring) even if the option is turned off on other lockscreens that show the checkbox.

I "fixed" it by choosing the ring lock, which has a different popup menu for custom app selection that allows you to delete apps (the others just let you set a new app, no way to clear it). Press delete, then choose an app from the list. Rinse and repeat until the list is clear. Now the lense lock won't have a custom app to go to, so it behaves as expected.

Of course if anyone prefers the lense lock, and if this can be duplicated (in other words, isn't a borked install on my end), then they could exploit it for a custom app launch with lense - as long as they don't mind being forced to launch it every time they unlock the screen :) lol

[Epic 4G Android Development] neuton:
Let me ask and I hope I don't offend anyone if this has been asked before. But is it recommended to partition the sdcard? And if so what partition should be made and sizes? And what card size do most people recommend and number of card like a 10 or 6?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jmuru:
Congratulations to the devs and thanks so much for this!!!!! Fantastic news :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tgaskill:
I'm really happy to be able to switch back to CM7 on my Epic. Thanks so much to the devs working on this project. As a 911 dispatcher, I couldn't bring myself to keep using it when E911 wasn't working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
A1: Not changes to SD Card partitioning required for CM7.

A2: No Swap partition is used so if you allocate any space for Swap it won't get used. Up to you really - you can always try a few and see how they work for you.

A3: If you're having SD Card issues then backing up and re-partitioning is recommended. Symptoms would be files ending up in directory LOST.DIR and corrupted data. Lots of posts in General section on SD Card recommendations and options (sizes, classes, and mfg's to use and avoid), and in Accessories sub-forum for hot deals and features Q&A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Gavisann:
Some people, me included, still wipe x3 because it is a habit, but you no longer need to. I feel awkward if I wipe once lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bohiti:
I don't have proof of the origin, but I have a strong hunch that "wipe 3x" started out with someone reminding others to wipe 3 things: data, cache, dalvik. Along the way, someone misunderstood, turning it into the current "repeat your actions 3 times", and it is now the mantra for making people with issues think that they forgot something, that its their fault, so they go away for awhile longer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] The Root:
I looked into it at one point and it was apparently due to a version of cwm that had a bug that made it so you had to wipe 3x or else you would end up with data corruption. The bug has been fixed since then, but the habit remains.
[Epic 4G Android Development] josidhe:
From what I remember of ancient threads, the 3x wipe is in every way exactly like the click-Save-over-and-over habit so many people have in word processors. It's not that it doesn't work the first time you do it. It's that people don't trust their own memory of doing it, or remember so many times when they swore they did it but it turns out they didn't, so now they have to "be sure", and "not take chances".

So it's generally self-reassurance. A sort of anti-deja vu ("I swear I've done this already..." --> "I swear I didn't just do that..."). It's charming, in a social disorder sort of way, and people who did it would get incredibly defensive about it, but frankly, 99.9% of the time, data corruption is from quick-reboots and battery pulls on unjournaled file systems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boglwe:
Great job on rom. My wife loves it. But, her phone cannot send correct SMS to peeps anymore. She writes "hello" and sends and the person receive s garbled mess that looks like some kind of code. Like "@ -'@ oyle j as (f gjih". And ofcourse larger text result in more gibberish. any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tahlsr:
Grats on going official! Impressive journey to watch!

In regards to getting audio to pass through the official Samsung docks (I use the car one) if anyone does end up getting it to work, please post instructions / kernel etc... It's the one thing holding me back from CM as my daily since I have a car dock I'm heavily dependent on for commuting.

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mocsab:
Really? If you look at the file sizes - the 12/23 build is 103.5M and the 12/25 is 104M - how could they be the same? that seems kind of odd to me - but if you say so......
[Epic 4G Android Development] zlyons:
Thank you EpicCM team. You guys have a lot to be proud of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Women have always been difficult for man to understand. :rolleyes:

Go into SMS settings and enable split messages. If that doesn't work, a lot of folks in this thread have given props to GoSMS and Handcent (as stock SMS/MMS replacement apps). Give that a shot and/or search around the thread for other solutions used.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yochaigal:
Seeing that the CM team officially does not support the kernel changes necessary for this to work, I may actually break down and create a custom kernel.

I was really hoping I didn't have to do this; there are other kernel's out there but I'd love to just use the one deca, et al have been using (on top of which if I do create a custom kernel I have to keep re-syncing to stay on top of new changes).

EDIT: Perhaps we could ask for an exception in this case since the official car dock WILL NOT work without this modification?
[Epic 4G Android Development] n2mschf:
Great work on getting "Official" CM7 Team,

[Q] will this help get wifi/data stable? Since the 12/19 build I've been running fairly stable wifi/data but every so often it will shut off and give a hella hard time reconnecting. My wife had to use her Blackberry to go online in the store and get a 50% off coupon code for a purchase as I had lost data and couldn't get internet. As soon as she was done ringing up I connected and got to the site and had the code... reminded me of that ATT flash mob commercial! All night long she was giving me ****...."How badass is your phone"? "Tell me again how sweet is your what do you call it, CM7"? It was horrible...I'm still hearing it in my head! Lol

EDIT: Another little glitch, Swype quit working after the MTD coversion and I get FC's anytime I had to use typing. I dl'd Slideit or something like that but the trial is over and I don't want to buy it. I cleared data, fixed permissions, re-dl'd and reinstalled several times....any other thoughts??

Try this Nexus S port of Swype (CWM Flashable), I was using it with 12/21MTD.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:


There's a quote from Rodderik, and I do apologize. I stated there was NO difference, but there actually was. Some of the kernel stuff was just cleaned out. Also, I said the Dec 25 build was the same as the Dec 23rd build, which was a mistake. It was actually the Dec 24th build it actually resembled.

Sorry for the "confusion" hope this clears things up tho :)

Soo if anyone gets confused and i apologize if i missed it. I wemt back through the post and couldn't find a 12-28 build. But i looked and Uberpinguins Mirror page has one. Just figured I'd point it out. No post was made to specify any changes so idk what it does...

Can Prl be updated on this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Epicnole:
Or you can just download Swype beta. It now has Dragon Naturally Speaking built in. Sign up for the beta and download the installer then you are good to go with the latest and greatest version of Swype

No, it cannot.

Dual boot would be the best possible way but I don't think the Epic has that. :(

So, yes, what you said.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
So I have a quick question. The last time I flashed this, not too long ago, I didn't have haptic feedback on the soft buttons, even after "enabling" it in the CM settings. Is there any type of haptic feedback on those buttons with this ROM and I just had a bad flash and everyone else has it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Well, they're not broken... you can't call something broken if it just isn't there, not even one line of code referring to 4G in this rom... be really glad you weren't flamed ;)

(And unless becoming official yields a counterintuitive change, I would recommend never asking the official dev team about 4G in CM... it's been covered, not gonna happen in the official rom because it would no longer be official)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
We do have it, it's just the process to dual boot is too "advanced "for some. I think aprosamurai is dual booted or use to be before MTD.

Dual boot is possible, we just need kexec, which isn't in the mtd kernel.

ITS A CYANOGENMOD THING. MENTIONED BEFORE. HAPTIC FEEDBACK WORKS WHEN LONG PRESS, NEVER SHORT PRESS. Its like that on every cm7 phone. Sorry, patience is thin.

I dual booted before mtd, and once I get the time, all I need is to make an mtd kernel with kexec
