Long time troller, first time poster in cm7. I finally flashed 12/13 yesterday. Amazing! Everyhing is so snappy! I compare it to a bare bones street rod. Lot's of power, but when you start adding smog parts, it really slows things down.

I have seen only one issue, and I don't believe I've seen stated elsewhere, it relates to bluetooth feedback. I saw some mentioning of squeeling, but I think that was just during normal phone conversations. My issue has popped up with Vlingo. When I was running it on regular GB, it worked fine. Now moving to CM7, when I activate Vlingo, the first second or as I speak the request through bluetooth, the speaker on the phone stays on and gets horrible feedback, then the speaker shuts off. I uninstalled Vlingo and reinstalled and still happens. Any suggestions? Other than that, this thing is just flat awesome.

If I'm already on ei22modem do i need to Odin back to ec05 and start fresh?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
No hotspot app but you should still be able to download a wifi tether app of your choice off the market. Or possibly keep the apk from your hotspot app and transfer it to cm7?? Idk if thats possible or not..... But my wifi has be flawless if not faster. I flashed the 12/14 build last night/early this morning.

u don't actually "need" to be on the ei22 modem, either. everyone seems to get different performance out of each modem anyway :)

Sorry for the noob question but I just bought grand theft auto 3 and my wifi hasn't worked in days is there any way I can get it back so I can download the additional 400mbs lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
wifi works really good now. it may be a bit wonky with new networks or first time startup, but it settles in nicely
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdbc:
...and LTE phones likely, nonetheless.. making that work all for naught essentially.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
Thanks. How about apps and data, is it better to do titanium restore or nandroid?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Modems are completely separate from the ROM. I am using EC05.

You have to Titanium restore. Nandroid only if it was saved under MTD. If you are coming from anything other than MIUI or CM7 MTD versions, a Nandroid will not work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
there is no .bin for the EI22 modem. It is only a flashable update

After moving to MTD you need to odin back to stock to be able to flash the modem update from CMW.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
I restored about 82 apps + data with titanium backup. No issues on my end... But every phone is different.

^bump... and u can't change the volume with the phone to your ear (which may be intentional). these are just about the only "quirks" with this rom that are even remotely close to being an issue for me, and they're mostly unmentioned/unreported. does nobody else have these issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] christophocles:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Cyanogenmod for the EVO 4G has wimax support.. How did they get it to work? Different wimax chipset w/ open drivers?
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
Different chipsets and different drivers. And the CM team started with HTC and Motorola phones back with eclair and started Samsung dev a year ago.

And the galaxy s series is hitting the end of the tracks. And when WIMAX could be figured out no one will have an Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
UNZIP the cwm file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
That really is a bummer, 4G is a staple of this phone and to not include it sucks. So to have a ROM that is based on MTD means you have to sacrifice other things like 4G? I understand that 4G is proprietary but to cut off something so huge out of a phone there has got to be a solution.

Sent from my cyanogen modded Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
there IS a solution, and u can find it if you'd like. the dev team said a thousand times that it's lowest on their list of priorities and most likely will not make it onto the final version. besides, the wimax 4g is gonna be gone next year so there really is no use trying to develop for it.

edit: easily a quarter of the posts in this thread already have been asking and answering this exact same question. no, they don't want it. no, they're not gonna do it. no, they won't mind if u try it. and no, it won't be easy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
I'm going to be simple about this before someone(myself) freaks out on you lol.

If you want 4G do not flash this ROM and it's very likely to not ever have 4G, if it does it does, if not oh well, or perhaps you can try to get 4G to work on your own which in it self isn't even an easy procedure, this is something that's been discussed quite a few times within this thread. I just think overall people would rather the topic not continually come up, thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shinydude100:
There's more to this phone other than 4G, if you REALLY want to ever see 4G on CM7, you have two options.

#1 Patiently wait for the CM7 Kang Devs to work out the bugs which have priority over 4G, be happy it's even on the buglist, and not on some "we will never attempt to fix it" list.

#2 Research up on development, and contribute to the Epic CM7 MTD Source-Code.

If 4G is sooo important, then get another smartphone for your 4G and switch your epic to some basic prepaid plan.

I personally agree 4G is a nice thing, especially when you're in excellent coverage, but honestly, there's still 3G and Wifi to fall back on. I don't even use 3G, I roam 24/7 on 1x, using Wifi for All Data and you don't see me whining for 4G. Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
+1

Just put it in the OP as a side note to the WIMAX issue that you can sit and patiently wait or you can lend a hand a dev it.

I know there are keypad layouts where you can set WAKE or WAKE_DROPPED. Is there a file we can edit to allow the volume to be changed when the screen is off? I keep trying to change my kl files, but can't get it to work.

[edit] I figured it out. If you want to change the volume with the screen off, edit you system/usr/keylayout/qwert.kl file.

on KEY 115 and KEY 114 add "WAKE_DROPPED" after volume_up and volume_down. Save and reboot!

Holy crap! That installed really fast... That was way too easy. Theres no Market app. How do I get to the market?

To instal this ROM all I do is download the update.zip and wipe all 3x then flash zip? I got a bunch of errors
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonyp23:
I had to use Titanium Backup to restore my apps that were larger than 22M. The cache partition should really be larger than 25.0M. Hopefully it is in the final build. Should be close to double that, I think.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
Use titanium backup to install apps larger than 22mb to avoid this problem right??
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
Right, only wouldn't you know I just bought the app this week and don't have it in Ti. Not willing to go Odin back to get it. I will anxiously wait in hope this feedback will lead to a cache partition of at least 32MB! :D

Thinking out loud: if we resize cache it essentially requires fdisk'ing one, if not all, the other partitions. Will have to treat as a fresh install cycle I suppose.

Any chance the devs left the partition map in a text editable file in the zip so we could tweak to each users preference? I'll have to peek around later.

Rodderick made an awesome "louder volume hack" for galaxy devices. I like my sounds loud. Is there any way to incorporate that into this fantastic rom?

This is seriously the best rom I ever used since I started using android... I came from a samsung moment to this.

Thanks a ton to all the devs who put their hard work into this.

Also as far as battery life.... With really heavy use on wifi with crappy cell signal I got just over 5 hours and am at 33%. With the heavy use and crappy cell signal (I'm in the middle of a hospital) I think this is pretty good.... Keep in mind this is a stock battery.

If i decide to nurse my phone i could make it to the end of my shift.... But whats the fun in that :-) always carry a charger.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
This is what my battery life looked like more or less with any rom Mon - Fri during work hours. Then i got Google Voice setup, kick my phone into airplane mode with wifi on and BAM i get 20+ hours (stock battery as well) on my phone and the only thing i can't get at work is mms..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Speedin07si:
Might give that a shot

Sent from my Cyanogen Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
Interesting concept... so you let your calls go straight to voicemail then, right? But you stay on wifi when in airplane mode?

I'm curious how this would perform if I setup an asterisk server for VOIP and routed my google voice through that. I bet we could setup something to shut off the cell modem whenever wifi is on...
[Epic 4G Android Development] tdwp16:
I usually get about 26 plus with heavy use and wifi without using airplane mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
what do you classify heavy use? Whats your screen on time?
[Epic 4G Android Development] know.patience:
You should be able to get MMS through GV now, it forwards any attachments to the linked gmail account.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danherbert:
26 hours is pretty impressive assuming truly heavy use, but probably not impossible. Consistently strong signal strength and few apps syncing should put that within reach.

I can get 17-20 hours with moderately heavy use (I wouldn't say I use my phone heavily) if I keep wifi set as always-on and have a consistent wifi connection. And that's with lots of apps running and keeping the phone awake a lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danherbert:
I think that only applies with sprint-to-sprint MMS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattykinsx:
No, mms support is working for more services now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] monke30butt:
I hate to ask this, but I'm trying to make sure I have all the files on hand in case something goes wrong with a CM7 install. I know everyone keeps pointing to Odin, but I have always used the Samsung Windows EB13 installer to fix my screw ups. Do you know if it will reflash the partition as well? I just prefer this tool to Odin for a restore. I do use Odin for other things though.

Thanks Guys....

Considering me sleeping for 8 to 10 hours. That leaves about 16 or less hours in which my screen on time is about 8 hours

I am sorry for this noob question. But is there a different flashable EI22 modem besides the ec05 to ei22 one mentioned in qbkings thread? I am on eh17 and the one mentioned doesn't work for me, and I am hoping to avoid using odin

And is it normal that the update rom check in rom manager be only premium members? So no one on the free version can not download or update cm7 thru it at all?
[Epic 4G Android Development] migmartinez:
I got 24 hrs out of my stock battery w/ 10% left so now in trying to see how long my yoobao battery will last. Before on stock ec05 I was lucky if i got 15hrs of battery life w/ the extended battery but I'm excited to c how long I get now
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I don't know, to be honest... but I have seen stock apk's on cm and cm apk's on stock based roms, so I think it will work - unless the apk's had to be modified to cross over. The one possible fail point that I can see is if there is any framework dependancy - the TW dialer may rely on something missing in CM, for example. If you try it, be sure to back up the original or be prepared to reflash the entire rom if it doesn't work (and let the rest of us know, of course)

Lol

I didn't quite get the whole foot, but I caught myself inserting it in my mouth - guess I wasn't quite fast enough with the edit ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xalky:
I've been running this rom since yesterday and I'm loving the smoothness. Has anyone tried a different kernel with Cm7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
I dont think there are any other MTD kernels to use at this point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codest3r:
That'll do it. I have used the tool to reflash back to EB13 and then let the phone come back up and to get the EC05 update. Faster to use ODIN, but the nice thing about that tool is it is nearly fool-proof.

No EI22modem.bin available. You have to ODIN EC05 and flash modem_delta ZIP to get from EC05 to EI22. It's a pain, but best just get it done now if you want to be on EI22 modem (not a requirement). For any modem needs please use the sticky in the Android Development thread.

RE: ROM Manager - I'd suspect that it is. Please support your devs with a donation from time to time (oh, and you sometimes get some premium features to boot). :)

CM7 is not available for download in ROM Manager though and it wouldn't be advisable without reading the OP first (it is a KANG build). That said, ROM Manager is worth a few bucks, especially now that DRockstar, koush (creater of CWM), mkasick, and chris41g got CWM officially supported on the Epic 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
No no, he said 'screen on' time, not 'phone on' time ;). He's asking how long your screen was actually on for, because there is literally a 0% chance you had 8 hours of screen on time without charging your phone. Unless you have that new 5000mah battery* that's the same size as our stock one.

*Disclaimer - I completely made up that 5000mah battery, it doesn't exist.

[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
I dont think too many have gotten this to work, but I managed too...My path was...

1)flashed Thunderhawk EI22 Rom

2)backed up vvm using Titanium

3)flashed CM7

4)Restored vvm app + data from Titanium

Edit: Also, if you want to be able to call into your voicemail via holding down number 1 in the dialer, you need to go into Settings/Call Settings/voicemail settings and enter in your phone number. the *86 is for Verizon I believe

2. Is gps working reliably...enough for daily usage?

I am looking to change over to this ROM asap as a daily but I just would like to know if this is a smart move or not since I rely on my phone pretty heavily for mms, gps, internet and email.

Thank You in advance and more importantly, Thank You to the CM7 team for all of their hard work to bring a fantastic ROM to our soon to be outdated phones.
