lawls^^^

Just flashed this Rom. The first gingerbread rom I flash jaded me, with the random reboots and lack of gps. But that was before all the recent advancements.

I am pretty stoked to see 11/11 satellites... in my house!!! I never got that many locks in my house before.

thanks to everyone involved! Great work, I think this one is a keeper!!!

One suggestion, Is this rfs only??? cause I did have to use the gotorfs... I didnt see anywhere in the OP that you HAD to be on rfs. Maybe there should be a step that says something like: "3. check to makes sure you're on rfs"

For morons like me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] atharchian:
Yes, it's RFS, or you can flash this kernel for ext4.

im assuming that cyanogenmod will never officially support our phone, as in post an official build on their site for the epic, right? it would be awesome if they would just ask the devs who made this rom to use their work and build it up to "official" level, whatever that would change, but im guessing that's doubtful. thank god for the team that built this bad-ass. i just can't comprehend why we were forgotten, when a ton of other much ****tier phones got official builds. it's truly mind-bottling.

on a sidenote, just switched back over to rfs on this baby from ext4 and already noticing MUCH improved battery life, and honestly ZERO downside. just as snappy, and still no keyboard skippage....just for anyone teetering back n forth or weighing the options of rfs v. ext4. i think the ext4 kernel just might need a bit more work, and i think they said it will be done

Has anyone else noticed the problem when sending texts larger than 160 characters, it comes out as scrambled symbols/text to the receiver? I'm using handcent, but I think the stock messaging app does the same thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Yup, quite a few people actually. Split them and you'll be fine. There's an option in Handcent to split messages greater than 160 characters...use it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Has anyone else noticed the problem where there are at least a dozen Epic users who are too lazy to read? On the last page, we just had another wave of questions about 4g (not gonna happen soon, as the other responses said - the primary goal is a bug free, official CM7-compliant build, and 4G is not a requirement for official status - most phones with official support don't have 4G hardware, so we're the minority there) and the garbled large text split... again... (look in the messaging app's options for the split option to fix this issue, the network can't handle the larger texts so you need it to be split phone-side, before the message reaches the network)

And to Frankie - never assume anything. Especially when it contradicts the OP - it may not happen as fast as we'd like, but Deca's post did say that this would eventually be merged into official CM repositories. Official CM7 developers won't be likely to pick this up because they have no reason to - they don't have Epics to work with, but Deca does, so when it happens, Deca will likely become that official CM7 dev...

[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
Guys, it's always very nice when people offer to PayPal a developer an extra $5-$10 and set up a donation drive... but there are tons of problems with the idea.

The first and most obvious is that 'donating to the developer' is thrown out in just about every single thread on this forum and I'm pretty sure it's never actually happened. Someone needs to take the initiative.

Thats just the tip of the iceburg though. If someone else sets up the PayPal how can we know where our money is going? On the flip side, asking Deca to create a donation link for his account (which is what he would need to do) it is a HUGE imposition. As soon as we start paying Deca for ROM development it introduces a ton of liability for him, and a lot more things that can go wrong.

The fact that you are 'willing' to just throw $5 at this doesn't change anything. Eventually, someone is going to post 'hey I paid for this ROM!" and they will unfortunately be right in doing so.

Patience is the only currency that will make this process go faster. Please stop trying to think of creative ways to pressure our dev team.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shockerengr:
I've had trouble with this for quite a while. I am on GV, but I've had them both go out late and come in late. and from some people who are on stock setups. I haven't figured out exactly what's going on, but sometimes it seems that if I get a phone call, it unleashes a bunch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Good point
[Epic 4G Android Development] Specialksg1:
amirite? No, you'd be wrong. Devs get donated to all the time, it's nothing new. Sometimes people are just appreciative and want to help out when people are in need ... ptfdmedic (sp?) is a prime example of this. I believe Deca has said he won't do the donate thing, and good for him, he's doing it for the love of the game, but I don't think it's out of line for people to offer to help out when his equipment crashes out on him ... but of course, I could be and am often wrong ;)

edit: I shouldn't say they get donated to "all the time", I don't know how much donating actually goes on, but it's enough that people thank donaters in threads and there is a system in place for people who want to donate. Point is, it happens, and I have yet to read anyone complaining about not getting their money's worth.

i rarely use mms on my phone and have been receiving mms just fine but i noticed that i am not able to SEND mms though. For those who have mms SENDING working, did you do anything to the message settings or anything for it to work?

i'm using handcent as my text message app but also tried sending an mms thru the stock messaging app and it doesn't work. i reflashed the rom (made sure it was the latest) but i get the same results. mms sending just hangs and then fails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] atharchian:
Are you on the latest build? If so, try this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
There is no "if" - follow those instructions in all circumstances (referring to reading Deca's posts, mostly - those instructions put their own "if" condition on trying the full wipe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] danherbert:
As others have said, I'd be more than willing to donate a good amount towards an SSD. Obviously the hope with a donation is that this gets development moving again (since it's at a complete stop right now, from what I understand), but that's not the main reason for me wanting to donate.

Contrary to what amirite said, I'm not interested in donating to get a vested interest in the outcome of this project. I want to donate as a 'thank you' for all of the hard work that has already been done on this project.

CM is an open source project, and as such, I see it as a community effort. I don't do OS programming, but I'm willing to contribute my dollars as a substitute.

Try this: By Hoffman1984

So, i did some browsing around sprint, and found this nice documentation...

support.sprint.com/support/article/Block_or_allow_text_messages_from_your_phone/case-cx832318-20091103-160141

Which leads me to this post.

Send a text to: "9999"

Message body: "block 9016"

It will confirm by sending you back a text.

SprintFreeMessage: Text messages from (and to) "9016" are now blocked

I've tested this on my EVO 3D, and I'm still getting voicemails... But my Epic is no longer activated, so i can't test on it.

If someone wants to try this out, then send themselves a voicemail and let me know how it goes, that would be awesome.

Note that I would like to receive help to purchase an SSD, but my conscience won't let me and I will decline any offer.

Simply stated, I do not want to receive funds because of my work on an open source project which has NUMEROUS contributors. I find that selfish.

I will gladly accept hardware though, because I see it as a gift towards my hobby. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xgerryx:
I'm sorry if this was discussed already, but would there be any reason the volume toggle in the notification pulldown would stop working? I've tried multiple themes and there is no change.

On another note I would like to thank all who have contributed to this. This is nothing short of amazing and I will be keeping this for the foreseeable future. The theme chooser is very nice as well. First time using CM obviously ;)

I think I found a bug to add. I can't use data while roaming domestically. It gives me a notification saying something about international.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
Deca, obviously you've got to follow your heart / conscience on this issue, but bear this in mind: as you said above, you'll accept hardware. Fair enough, but keep in mind that these guys want to get you a new SSD, which as most of us know, is fairly expensive. The easiest way to spread the cost around would be for the folks to donate money to you, and you buy your own hardware.

Otherwise either A) some well-off, kind soul has to buy you the expensive SSD themselves, or B) the donators (is that a word? LOL!) have to coordinate and set the money aside in some form of escrow account, then somebody uses the funds to purchase the SSD and send it to you. See my point?

I fully understand not wanting to receive money for working on an open-source project where you're not the only dev, but this situation you find youself is one step removed from that--they would be donating money for the hardware, and what you do with that hardware is up to you--but hopefully that involves more CM development! ;)

I just wanted to throw that point of view out there, but please don't take it as me trying to tell you what to do. I just noticed a different perspective that I wanted to share.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
and why don't you KHA! Wtf?!?!?!?!?! Seriously?!?!?!?!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Themes are purely cosmetic by definition, so that won't help and shouldn't hurt anything in this matter.

Under Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Interface -> Notification Power Widget -> Widget Buttons, scroll to the bottom to find "Sound Modes"

The stock behavior you're used to can be accomplished by checking "Sound" and "Vibrate," and you can also add "Silent" and "Sound+Vibrate" into the mix. With only two selected, the button will be a toggle. More than two will cause the modes to cycle in order.

The way I can see "us" (the community) helping Deca with his SSD is by first asking Deca what kind of SSD he's looking to get. Then we can get a trusted member of the community to set up a Paypal account where we can all send our money donations, and we can start a thread documentiong member's donation amounts to keep count of the money. That member can then buy the SSD via internet or something n have it shipped to Deca and can donate the left over donation funds to the EFF or via the CM Team website

I was thinking the same, donate the excess, etc. Deca, it would probably be easiest if we donate to you, you buy the drive and then donate the excess -- if that's what you choose to do. Everyone who donates would need to understand that this doesn't mean we can nag Deca for ETA's, he may never release another version of this ROM, and that's his choice not ours.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sauron0101:
I think that the most realistic outcome is that the community spreads the cost. Get one of those 64 gb or 128 gb SSDs; I recommend the Crucial M4 personally, as the Sandforce ones have all had issues.

My purchasing power, like yours, is limited as I am in university as well, but I'd be willing to pitch in a few dollars to help.

I think that you can accept the SSD in good conscience. All donations will be entirely voluntary and nobody will be obligated to donate. Similarly, Deca, if this goes through, don't feel obligated to rush this ROM with the SSD. Life comes first and if you've got exams or other events, nobody reasonable will complain.
