apparently ppl have delusions about this new kernel. it's pretty much the same thing he already had, but from source. he didn't apply any new patches or fixes or anything, he just remade his kernel from official source code instead of a leaked build so it can be cm compliant. it seems like groups for other phones create their own aosp kernels when they want them to do something special...

Have you changed your DPI?

[Epic 4G Android Development] kahm:
so, when i try to flash this, i get the "Cant open" error. Says (bad) after that.

I've downloaded it 4 times in two browsers. Any tips?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
You have to flash it using odin. Make sure to put it in the PDA slot and uncheck everything but auto-reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSMI:
Yes. Is that what causes this? Anyway to still be able to get them with the changed dpi?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
I may be a bit late to the party on this but I found that if I have video that doesn't play I can do it in moboplayer using software decode just fine. Not really a fix but a good workaround if you need to watch videos.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Changing the dpi causes compatibility issues with the market. One way that could work is to wipe data in the manage apps section, although I think I tried that once and it didn't work.

Changing the dpi is something that is still a work in progress. Unfortunately, this is what one of the issues. In order to get your full compatibility back with apps in the android market, you'll most likely have to revert back to your initial dpi. It sucks, I know, but I'm sure it'll work eventually.

Wifi is working waayy better than it did on the 1015 kernel (for me at least), and as someone else said, GPS is shockingly quick. I didn't know my phone had that in her.

And holy moly do I love those boot times!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
This is crazy! Super fast and for anyone needing more volume from the headset use the DSP manager and I recommend PowerAmp from the Market. Best sounding player out there and the EQ and Pre-Amp make it more than loud.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I know what you mean! I practice my drumming with PowerAmp because the EQ boosts the headphones' sound so much. Also, voodoo control allows you to increase system volume as well. (never tried out DSP manager)
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
Noooo! if you are talking about this ROM 10/19 DO NOT attempt to flash in odin. you may brick your phone. It is meant to be flashed in clockworkmod.

As far as your Can't open error, sorry I don't know.

This is the poo poo and the pee pee , og x3 og status. Wifi works again, prety much no boot time.

I'm a little out of the loop lately...I see the new 10/19 build...just to be clear what has been cleared up over the last 10/15 build with this new official source kernel included?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I do the same thing LOL The DSP manager has compression and also a nice bass boost. (Im sure you know if you turn the bass on the PowerAmp pre amp past half it distorts) :)

There has been known, this is just an update which signifies the use of the new source. Nothing big yet, long road and way to go. But the wifi doesn't necessarily cut out as often. It's still finicky however. But this update is the building block.

Interesting find, I was attempting to download google earth onto my device from the market only to find a message 'your device is not compatible' disallowing me to download the app.

Every other google app downloads fine. Maybe something needs to be added/modified to my buildprop?

[Epic 4G Android Development] kahm:
I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've flashed countless roms with CWR over like 4 phones, but I can't seem to flash anything with this phone. Here's the process:

- Root with the one click installer (I've verified that this works, installed apps that need root access)

- Copy CM7 zip file to the sdcard

- Attempt to choose the zip from CWM, but applying the zip just says "Cant open <zip file name> (bad)". I've downloaded the zip numerous times, and even tried the 1015 and 1019 versions. I don't know what I'm missing here. gotorfs.zip flashes but doesn't help. I've tried erasing the system partition before going... does anyone have any idea what the "(bad)" error means?

[Epic 4G Android Development] gregory15:
amazing

I'd like to say that i'm loving this ROM. Been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Only issues:

Camcorder don't work

The little red light charging don't work

I am having some trouble with intermittant WIFI at home and at work.

There are no sound issues that I have seen.

Phone works great.

Camera is really clean looking ,... like it much better.

Love the aesthetics.

THANKS THANKS THANKS!

I am needing to learn more about this, like the specific CM7 settings and configs. Going to wiki.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
That was my point earlier in the thread that people jumped all over me about. For a ROM to be labeled "complete," it has to have functional parity with the vendor's official ROM. Since WiMax is in the vendor ROM and this doesn't yet, it can't be labeled as complete.

My reasoning behind this is to simply not mislead unwitting users into flashing the ROM with the expectation of WiMax functionality. This would prevent people from clogging the thread with repeated complaints over WiMax functionality (or lack thereof).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Don't be condescending. Just say that users will have to use a third-party SMS/MMS app like Go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
are you on the newest CWM (purple)? If not, then try updating your CWM to the newest one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Yeah man, and it is a known issue. Just use GO Messenger from the market. It works great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
Or they can read the initial post and use their head. No Rom is ever "Complete" there is always work to be done improving it. Anybody that doesn't understand this should stick with stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
All of those issues have been reported in earlier builds as well. As Gingerbread source was just released yesterday, I would guess that decad3nce and co. released this as a partial interim build to tide people over with fixes until he can pour over the source better.

As for your WiFi issue, first check your WiFi settings to stay on all the time. The default is to disable WiFi when the screen is off. If that doesn't work, some people have had success with disabling DHCP and using a static IP. You will need to know your gateway, subnet mask, and and DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 8.8.8.8 are both good ones to use).

Hope that fixes things. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
That is a bad way of helping the community. We were all n00bs once and had to start somewhere. If I would have been told to RTFM every time I asked a "stupid question," I would have just given up on a lot of things because I wouldn't want to deal with the unfriendliness and unwillingness of others to help in the community.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
Lol even stock will never be complete with samsprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Odin CWM purple to the phone. That will solve your issue. Oneclick is sketchy with Gingerbread ROMs on the Epic. Sketchy as in doesn't work. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
There is a difference between helping the community and holding someones hand. When I started with android nothing was done for you and nobody knew more then anyone else because it was brand new. Today there are people willing to help great open a discussion thread and try and help them. Leave the development thread to development.

Want to know the best way for new people to learn is to read. It takes time yes but you will learn 1000x more then if you ask a question and wait for it to be spoon fed. Anyways this is getting way off topic.

Great update I've been running it overnight and never had a better Alpha
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Don't make others' lives harder just because your experience was. Help people help themselves. Do not belittle them into discouragement. We all know a separate discussion thread will not work well, so just help people in this one, ok?
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
Elaborate how do we know it will not work well? Most other areas its how they do it look at the nook color forum. I do not agree with telling someone to RTFM but like I said spoon feeding will never work. This has been proven in life over and over again. Also there are people that should not be using these if they don't understand the principles behind what they are doing and the only way is to read. If they have questions about things they have been reading then that is the time to ask.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
I forgot to mention that Chainfire 3D works flawlessly with all versions so far.

Voodoo detects that this build has another DSP installed and will not work. Even the Pro version refuses to use DKMS, so we are SOL on that for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Can tethering app be used or is native working? Is battery life better than previous builds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Because they will still come here to complain and/or ask for help. Scolding them for posting in the wrong thread will be counterproductive to the health of the already weak Epic community. In short, just follow the golden rule.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
So we should cater to lazy people? I don't see how that is helpful to the community either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:

Ok since we are on philosophical aspect of posts and threads. Its safe then to assume that most people do not use common sense? I find a new thread on a ROM I would like to try I am going to read the OP. Which clearly stated no video no 4g, etc.... If I would not have been one of the first to try out the original and had been following this thread from the beginning I would have read it all. I would know that google gapps has to be flashed, that this is not ext4, etc....and would know all the issues. So what you're saying people just blindly flash roms with no knowledge of what they are doing or expecting? Is this not ignorant? How can some people just flash and not know anything about what they are getting into, then they brick their phone and you hear them panicking. Just my two cents.

Because people won't return if you're a **** to them. We want more people to stick around. It attracts attention as well as more willing, talented people and people willing to help others out.

Also, please stop trolling me. People with a mindset like you are arguing do more damage than good. Nobody wants to deal with an unfriendly, elitist asshole when asking for help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
Yes, there are a ton of users out there who just hop on a bandwagon without thinking. We are just human, after all.

BTW, common sense is not so common.
[Epic 4G Android Development] onilink67:
Look there are 2 extremes and your on one side of it I do not believe in leaving people on their own in the dark. I do believe in needing to take the effort and learn. There is a reason I don't release anything on here and this is one of them there is a feeling of entitlement that scared away some of our best dev's. I'd recommend relaxing trust me I don't sit on the other side of the extreme like I believe in helping those that are willing to help themselves.

I had feedback at first, but I rebooted, did a fix permissions from cwm, and now it doesn't come back with either a phone call or notification...yet...
[Epic 4G Android Development] kahm:
Got it working. Thanks for the help everyone. Turned out to be a bad SD card, I think. Or maybe it was just formatted wrong or something. Swapping it out worked.

So the only thing not working for me is the flashlight, I think. And... everything else is flawless. As far as the feedback issue, I turned my call volume down a little bit in call before a call ended, and while i can hear the mic in the speaker when i touch it, it seems to be nowhere near feeding back. Obviously the problem is that the mic is on in the first place, but, this might be another way to fight it for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
To the people saying they don't have speaker feedback issues: do you really know how to reproduce the error correctly? It's just that I've made plenty of calls and rebooted plenty of times and I can almost always reproduce the effect if I lay the phone down on my desk and position my thumb about 1/2 inch away from the mic (at certain angles).

Not trying to second guess anyone, it's just that all these conflicting reports are telling me that any 'fix' so far is probably just a placebo effect and the issue does still exist. I'm about to flash myself and find out.

I can confirm that the feedback issue is still present.

This new build improved wifi, but no other big fixes just yet - all deca did was incorporate the official source that was released, but the bugs appear to be located in the parts of the ROM that were not altered by the source (wifi was working before, deca just made a small mistake when building the second build from 10-15)

What codecs give it a problem? Are .avi and .mkv still good?

[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
wifi has gone crazy again for me. Earlier I reported that it was working with 10/19, but today it can't connect at all and goes into an infinite "scanning" loop no matter what I do. Rebooting doesn't solve it. Also, my 3G data has become very flaky, often disappearing completely and leaving me with no data connection whatsoever. The bars indicating my phone signal strength randomly drop completely away and I will get no notification at all that a call was coming through.
[Epic 4G Android Development] juryduty:
Everything is working great for me except the in-call volume. Anyone know where those values are saved? I'd like to tweak it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
That might be related to the radio. Who knows. I'd wait on EI22 before tackling the reboot issues.

I still get radio dropouts. But for some reason my download speed on this phone shot up when I installed this last night. So either this fixed it, or Sprint magically activated a new tower overnight.

The main issues that should be fixable are the MMS (may require mods to the RIL wrapper, probably not providing the MMSC data in a format AOSP likes), the microphone bug, and the video acceleration.

WiMax will likely never be supported....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Restola:
Wifi for me is hit or miss after flashing 10/19 as well, but at least it connects sometimes.

gapps were not preserved (this might not be new, my first taste of cm7 was the 10/15 build so I never flashed a new version over top cm7.1 alpha before), had to go back into CWM and reflash gapps and restore data from a mybackup.
