We don't have a backlight. Kinda weird, right? But anyway search this page for "black pixel" and read the corresponding sentence.

Ooh, you're gonna love that SSD if you use it as your OS drive! I've been using one for almost a year now, and it rocks. If you want to research the heck out of 'em before you buy, Tom's Hardware has a number of articles with many different kinds of comparison tests of many different SSDs.

Interesting, thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Cool, looking forward to it jt
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shermanballz:
It's not weird, it's hella cool. The liquid crystals in LCDs are only black. We get lit, color screens by shining bright white light through a grid of red, green, and blue windows (that right there is a waste of energy) then black liquid crstals turn on or off (or in between) to limit the amount of light shining through each window and thereby produce the effect of displaying different colors.

AMOLED displays use LEDs: light emitting diodes. Potentially more energy efficient, thinner, less complicated to manufacture, and (best of all) true black. Each red, green, and blue pixel just emits the correct color of light. Pretty sweet. Biggest limitation is the brightness of each pixel. LCDs can do better. For now...

Why then is there still a black glow? I don't think all the power is cut from the pixels when they are black. Could be wrong on that one though. But there is definitely no backlight.

On that note, I wonder how battery life would be affected by using a dark theme with dark wallpaper rather than a light one...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
If your looking for the fastest ssd then the kingston hyper x are the most reliable. If your looking for the most storage there are lots of options but very expensive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
Tests have been down to show an all red theme is the most energy efficient on OLEDs. Problem is it's reply annoying to only use red. I really think the brightness control needs a hand in here. Either its not auto dimming or the range is not dynamic enough. In a dark room my phone is still way to bright and I have to use an app to take it to half if what it is. The darker and redder the display is, the less power it should use.

For those looking for quick fix to the wif cutting in and out. There is a app on the marketplace called "advanced wifi lock" its helped me immensely with the wifi issues.

Just my 2cents
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
Solving the video recording issue would be great, as that's the only thing keeping me from flashing the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I figured out what it is that I can see - bleed through from the backlight of the capacitive buttons... which is why I could only see it in a completely dark room, not a lot of light there

So I was wrong :)

perfect lockscreen...

i know this is probably gonna get flamed.. but i just thought id show how sweet CM7 can look...

Thanks for everything you do Deca.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gremlyn1:
Wanted to report in on a battery drain issue that I am not entirely sure the root cause of, but I suspect GPS.

The setup is I am driving along streaming music via Google Music to the phone then over the BT to my car. I am also using navigation. I have done this many times in the past with no problems. Sure the phone gets pretty warm, but the charging has always been able to keep up with the power demand... until today!

I am on 10/22 (not sure if I ever had cause to try this on 10/19) and after noticing that the battery was indeed losing charge while in the car dock that was definitely plugged in to the charger, I decided to try some combination tests. Any combo of streaming/navigating/BT on were able to charge the phone as long as I cut out one of the three. It seemed, and this wasn't exactly scientific, that charging was faster when streaming (screen on or off didn't see to make much difference) than no streaming and navigation only.

Not sure what all this means exactly, but thought I should report it anyway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lys3rgic:
just a quick noob question. I can't remember for the life of me

but does RFS need journaling? or would you want to enable it?

cause i'm not sure if i wanna flash ugothakd's kernel or use the kernel in the ROM
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
How did you set that like that?

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

That could be part of it. The screen is pretty black as you can see. I also realized I have Set Cpu at 1000/1000 LOL I'm not reallly having signal issues at home since I received the Airave. I was out tonight for a few hours though and had some fairly slow 3g here but I am still at 71% after almost 6 1/2 hours on the battery.

*Edit* I also never set my screen brightness above 25% which is what you see on the screenshots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
What theme are you using?

And I set my lock screen to ring style with the custom apps. And then I changed the background to jump man.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rulyskull:
How'd you get that lock like that

sent from my, ya know cm7 epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] ugothakd:
Rfs is journaled, but its "always on" or something. So you won't get data corrpution like you would with ext4 not journaled.

I prefer rfs over ext4 too.

I will have to try this, especially now that we can get a custom kernel. The BT skipping was so bad on mine with the previous build I had to ditch CM until this was fixed. Guess it's time for a re-flash :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Okay, I unchecked wifi sleep never, and checked to sleep when the screen is off. That seemed to do the trick (along with adv wifi lock app). Thanks guys, my wifi is pretty stable now!

Edit: well I spoke too soon. Wifi is borked. Doesn't matter what policy I set. Adv wifi lock not helping. Oh well, it was worth a try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
Lol I meant to do the opposite..but I guess that wasn't working out too well. Wutever works.

[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
Sorry, to be clear, you're saying that when using Advanced Wifi Lock we should go to Menu -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy, and turn ON the option to never sleep?

What are your settings in Advanced Wifi Lock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
That's nice! I didn't know you could add more than one app to that. Seem to learn something new about cm7 every day. Diggin it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
Its under settings, CyanogenMod, lockscreen. You can set the option to add apps to the lockscreen.

I have something very similar and its really handy when you want to jump right into the camera app or place a quick call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
i wasn't using advanced wifi lock..but same thing. yea..i meant set wifi sleep policy to never.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Any pctures?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Silly question, I flashed this Rom without changing to the Eh17 Modem, if I were to do it now, will it wipe out my setup that I currently have?

Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
Okay, gotcha. Well, bummer. My wifi still fails even with it set to never sleep. And Advanced Wifi Lock doesn't do anything for me either. So... sucky. I guess it's just a matter of remaining patient then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
No, you can odin any modem you want at any time. This will not affect anything in your set up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Is there a specific Eh17 Modem you guys recommend? Will I be okay if I use the one from ACS?

Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AmericanJedi001:
the OP (and lead developer?) of this CM topic, Decad3nce, recommends the EH17 modem. As I understand it, the modem is not something that people modify, therefore the EH17 modem (or any version) should be the same from ROM to ROM, or standalone if you find those.

If you already have the EH17 modem from another ROM then you're good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lys3rgic:
Thanks. I'll try both out :] I'm also trying your kernal out. seems to be working out great atm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Thank you.... Yeah I'm currently still using EC05 with this Rom and my 3g is terrible!!!! I wanted to try and see if it's a little bit better with the Eh17 Modem.

Epic Life, Epic Phone... It all makes sense to me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Heffboom.Konijn:

can you be more swpecific about how to add more apps to the lockscreen? I can't seem to get the hang of it. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ragnar:
Yes ACS list all the modems on one thread and the eh17 is one they have the bin file already pulled from the tar. All you have to do is download the bin file, loaded into your phone using odin. In that same thread qbking77 has videos posted on how to do this. Its really simple once you watch the video, make sure you do exactly as he shows you and check off and on the correct boxes in odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dillontherobot:
how is the battery life on this rom compared to syndicate frozen 1.2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
I've never used that ROM, but I can say I get pretty good battery life out of CM7. If you watch resources and apps running in background, then you should be able to get a full day's use out of it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brew1brew:
I think this is the exact problem that CyberHick (the friend that I posted problem for) has, he uses the phone on his bike with bluetooth, gps and I think he may be streaming music too.

USB goes nutszo!

OK, my install, previously working, has gone nutzo. The USB connection is continually cycling on/off. The rapid notification is causing the screen to blink too. Actually connecting USB seems to stop it. Unplug USB and it starts again. adb logcat shows the stanza below repeating over and over.

D/Vold ( 63): USB connected
D/Vold ( 63): Share method ums now available
D/Vold ( 63): USB disconnected
D/Vold ( 63): Share method ums now unavailable
I/StorageNotification( 292): UMS connection changed to true (media state mounted)
I/StorageNotification( 292): UMS connection changed to false (media state mounted)

I reverted back to EC05 and the problem went away. Did a fresh install of the 10/22 kang and it's back again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DonToolBag:
Howdy, just chiming in that I took the plunge with this Rom today. Did the usual, but no backups at all, I never do, just re-download apps from the market, but easy from the web interface.

Did have (2) scares while flashing. I did get stuck at the Samsung screen, went back and wiped/reflashed, and stuck again. Then flashed the zip in the very first post, and flashed the rom again, and I'm all good. I freaked out when I didn't see the Google Account integration, went back and read again....flashed the google apps zip file.

Everything is running smooth, got all my apps back and all my syncing is done.

Thanks for all the hard work, this is my first try at the CyanogenMod variant!!!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
I've been using the 10/22 build since about 10/24 and other than the known issues the only problem I'm having is it thinks my wifi network is out of range even when I'm right next to it. The network is WPA/WPA2 and the SSID is not broadcast. If I broadcast the SSID it connects and works flawlessly. As soon as I turn off broacast it can't reconnect later if I go out of range.

How does one update the market? It appears that the market doesn't have a feature to check to make sure it is up to date as mine is 3.1.5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
I can't update the market either.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
He wasn't referring to the Apps section in the Market, he meant the one in this forum. All apps that you find in the market must be downloaded before you can use them, which is the purpose of the market. You will never have to find the market there, because you have to already have it in order to find apps. Installed apps can still be found because you can manually decide whether or not to update them, but the market itself doesn't offer that choice - some people have had to freeze the update service in order to keep a market downgrade, because they had problems with the newer market.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
Sorry, didn't have my phone in front of me when posting.

Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Lockscreen -> Style Options

Lockscreen Style needs to be set to "Ring"

Check the "Custom app starter" box

Scroll down, click "Custom application" -> click "Add"

You can add up to four (4) apps. If you want to replace an app with another, click on the app name instead of "Add" from above and you can choose a different app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
Thank you, that was very helpful. I wanted to add PHONE on the lockscreen but that isn't one of my choices. I have seen screenshots of PHONE added to lockscreen elsewhere. What am I missing (besides a lot :))
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
When choosing your app, choose "Applications" (first entry). It should then list out all installed apps, including the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devtodi:
thanks! got it!

And another funny thing i noticed, might have been mentioned before, is that when I try to shut the phone down when plugged in, it reboots. when I unplug and shut down, it shuts down but when I plug the power cord in, it boots up. Just started doing this and I have had the ROM installed for a week now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kobby2k6:
just tried that on my phone, it stayed off so no issues here...try a reflash and see if that help

not enough of an issue to reflash, I will wait for the next update- running too smooth to take the risk and do the work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] JonMayer:
If you pull the battery, replace, then plug in - does it boot without pressing the power button?

Just seeing if its a hardware option.

I just wanted to state that this is the first ROM that i've successfully loaded on my sons Epic that has made it longer than 4 days without the dialer fc'ing, and google Android system doing the same to the point of the phone being unusable. And trust me, I've tried pretty much everything ec05, and up (currently on the eg22 modem)... Just wanted to give credit for the work you've put into this (I personally run an Evo 4g, and have been running CM7 since the early nightly's, so i'm already fully accustomed to cm). Very nice work with this Kang, and hopefully this device gets picked up on the supported list... BTW if you want a great theme try mrdsl's mixer (circle battery mod is the one I like best, but there are a few to choose from)...

[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
Not disagreeing with the kudos, but you're doing something very wrong if you can't get any of the bazillions of super stable EC05 ROMs to work right. Probably a third party app conflict from something Junior loaded around day 3.9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
At the moment, I can't find the thread, but I flashed the kernel that had cm7 in the title of the thread, and since doing so, haven't had one issue with wifi. Connections were on and off before flashing, and now they are exactly as I would expect them to be. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but it's definitely worth checking out.

This may seem like a silly question, but I searched 4G within this thread and nothing popped up.

I've flashed several different roms to my phone so this isn't new to me but what I'm not noticing in this CM7 EH17 Rom is there is no 4G toggle nor is it even listed as a network in the settings.

Does 4G automatically enable when you're in an area or is this setup not allow for 4G or am I just a noob and confused all over the place?

To add to what kylesum said in his post, 4G is the lowest priority in this ROM. No work will be done towards 4G before all other bugs are fixed so I wouldn't wait around for it or expect it to be implemented any time soon. It could be weeks/months before anyone looks at 4G.
