I appreciate all the most excelent work put into writing this reply about the Epic 4G, Mutiny32.

BUT (there's always a but) I have one request and it is just a matter of semantics. I do not consider a POST "complete" until it provides something new to the conversation and does not simply repeat what the original post says.

While this POST is indeed nearly complete, the lack of reading the original post makes me calling the POST complete deceptive to more novice readers. We already have enough indignant veteran posters who scare off a lot of new users whey they attempt to discuss something without reading the original post. Point in case, your comment.

I simply humbly request that when you "complete" the POST, please do not label it as such until you have completely read the original post. At the very least mark it complete with a VERY clear caveat stating that you have not read the original post. It all save us all a lot of grief when a new user reads the thread about the Epic, as they will already be privy to the fact that the information might already be posted in the original post.

I know you can be a callous bastard regarding user ignorance, so save yourself the frustration and complaints before you even have the chance to be ignorant.

Reboots

I have to admit I've been having reboot problems ever since I received the device. I also admit not knowing what to look for when looking at a logcat to figure out a problem. Some knowledge transfer would be awesome, but I'm firstly concerned with figuring out why this reboots randomly. Thanks in advance. :cool:

I'm having a bit of trouble I flashed update 1015 and now I can't get into the market. Says I need to add an account I select yes to add one but the app just closes. Did I do something wrong. Using market 3.2 the one from ics

Did you update gapps with the new flash, reflash them after the 1015 flash? Using the ICS market may not be the best choice immediately.

Ok ill reflash them thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Thank you that helped. Now one more question do u guys use Tom manager or something like that to flash updates or anything. Or do u use the 3 finger method. Trying to see what everyone uses. Tried Tom manager that came with the Tom but couldn't get it to go into recovery to flash the update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
rom manager doesn't seem to work properly with this rom currently.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Ok thought it was something I was doing lol. What about acs I hear they have one like rom manager does it work or just better to do the 3 finger I don't mind just seeing what everyone uses
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
Yep, I noted earlier today that reboot recovery is not available in the current kernel. That means apps like rom manager and ACS updater won't work (or may drop you in a reboot loop like it did me). In the mean time 3-finger boot works just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Ok thanks yea it was doing a loop on me when i tried it. Thanks for the info ill do the 3-finger for now

Anyone looking to use the stock 2.3 launcher from the nexus S - I just followed the steps here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995353 and it is up and running.

The app drawer is the 3D one and definitely feels gpu accelerated cause it's super smooth.

Edit: Got stock launcher and Microbes LWP running on here, and I'm still just floored by how smooth everything is!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yochaigal:
Can I just say:

This ROM is SO MUCH BETTER than any of the baked ROMs I've used (and I've used probably 20). Even with broken-ish wifi, no wimax, limited camera/youtube, and whistling (mine whistles about 50% of the time) I will continue to use this ROM ad infinitum. That is how much I like it.

Touchwiz is utter crap; I was literally on my way to unroot my epic, sell it, and buy a new phone when I checked XDA to see if there had been a CM update.

I applaud this community - the phone isn't that popular, and we are lucky to have the devs we do! Even with the proprietary samsung bloatware impeding the usefulness of this device, I see people doing amazing things with it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

PS does anyone know what CM kernel I can use that includes the necessary code so that the "galaxy dock sound redirector" app works? I would love to hear music through my car's speakers again while docked!
[Epic 4G Android Development] zirjacks:
+1, this is the only thing holding me back from switching permanently to CM7!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
At the moment, the only CM kernel that the Epic will boot is found in this rom/thread.

Once GB source code for the Epic is released, then we may see more in development offering different features. So the short answer is, you can't do that in CM7 right now (thanks to Samsung being very slow with their GB update).

Apparently my point wasn't simple enough so you people attacked it. It's okay that you don't understand. I won't hold your inability to comprehend against you.

Dunno if a fix for camera wake up has been posted, but I found that when I went ino Dev tools, then Show Permissions, camera.apk had the permission to override power button,.. so I disabled all permissions and it doesn't wake.. but now it doesn't even work XD lol so find the permission that overrides yourselves so you can still work the camera.. I just had to fix the wake it ruined my battery life in my pocket lol

Edit: nvm stopped working after I rebooted D:
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Are any of u guys using swype or are you using the Samsung keyboard the one that came in the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Perhaps you're one with the ego, sir. WiMax comes if it's possible when the Rom is at it's level of completion, it's not complete therefore you won't get it yet. You didn't need to go on a rant trying to portray yourself above everyone else, it didn't work, an inability to comprehend comes from something worth comprehending not from someone who believes they're above comprehension. You changed nothing, when it comes it comes but for now you're not contributing to a thing.

Thinking on it, my tone of post is improper, but as, is yours. The conflict should be dropped. Just know that it takes time for completion to come.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
Sounds like someone is a bit butt hurt. Guess you can dish it out but not take it. Typical.
[Epic 4G Android Development] azyouthinkeyeiz:
+1

The original post was the only one I see with an "indignant" attitude. Who makes you the ruling body of what's considered complete. Complete to me, is a full, bug-free experience in the rom, not the features. And the only way Wimax would be considered a required feature, is if 100% of the users even had Wimax coverage, which we all know is untrue. Just because you want something in the feature set doesn't mean its not complete.

Plenty of people want Touchwiz, which is in your hypothesized full feature set, but will never be included in Cyanogen, does that ensure that Cyanogen will never be "complete"?

Perception, my kind sir, perception.

Only 95 pages in and we already have an argument brewing. all this topic needs now is for Godwin's law to come into play. So i'll start it.....Nazi. There, now were are complete :)

BTW, this rom kicks ass whether you call it complete or not. The only complete thing about this rom is that it completely kicks ass. Did i say complete enough times? lol

Always remember, this is a development forum. If anything gets marked as complete that usually means the developer stopped maintaining it ;)

Flashed the 10/15 build this afternoon and drove around for about an hour streaming music via bluetooth in my car and so far no reboots for whatever it's worth.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
so if there was nothing in the op about this being just an alpha, and u assume that everything is complete, u may have had a point. but if u read the op, u would have discovered that the rom is not yet even a beta. nobody ever claimed otherwise except u while u were complaining about it in your post. we all want to try a stable cm7 so we're all hanging on Deca's kang here even tho we know it's just an alpha. we know there are problems, and are willing to deal with that. we are also waiting for official source so we can get an official build (which, i'm presuming, will NOT be based on this kang). unless u want to screw everybody else out of the enjoyment of this rom until then by talking **** to deca until he drops it all together, i suggest u stfu about the small issues and read (then reread) the op's and the entire forum in general to make sure u fully understand everything before trashing the thread. and don't be surprised if ppl attack u for that.

[Epic 4G Android Development] azyouthinkeyeiz:

This rom is completely kick ass!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
it's potentially better than any other rom out right now, imho. other roms have other features, for instance touchwiz, that some people like more. if that's what you're interested in, or if you'd like something polished and perfect, you're better off trying something else first. try this if you are ok with some things not quite working perfectly yet, but you wanna see what the fuss is all about...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ConfusingCurve:
I remember that on the old Urban Warfare 1.5 they had the same problem, CPK fixed it in his new release so maybe you devs could ask how he did this and port it over to this ROM? just a thought.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
For wifi issue, setup a static ip address.

For swype keyboard, search this thread for it, there is a cwm flashable of the nexus s swype way back on like page21. I would link it but am on xda app.

Edit: or flash the 10/11 kernel for wifi, or flash one of the themed swypes from epic apps forum.

Is Wi-Fi broken for anyone else after flashing 10/15? Jkjk I know there's an issue with it, this post is a joke.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It seems that the eth0 interface is non-existent in the 11-15 build...

ifconfig actually doesn't show any network interfaces, although busybox ifconfig does (it also can bring up an eth0 interface, but I don't know if that is somehow a virtual representation)

Perhaps this is tied to the wifi issue? I am looking into it further, if I find something useful then I will be sure to share :)

logcat is showing that a couple of interfaces are missing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
or u could wait a few days for deca to apply the recently discovered gb sources to his kernel to give u a new and improved one :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tannerj:
Is wifi only broke on 10/15 release or is it on all versions of this rom. I have tried the static IP and I am still not able to connect.

Thanks...Jarrod
[Epic 4G Android Development] shaolinmastr:
I did that and the phone stuck on the Sammy screen. I Odined back to a stock EH17 and reloaded everything. Wifi still does the same thing. I didn't try the 10-11 kernal again. I'll live with it for now.

[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:

[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
kinglegz - you may have a bad flash or a bad download. My phone has yet to shutdown or reboot itself in 48hrs o running cm7. Also no missing icons.

You've provided very little history of your problems like what kernel, modem you're on, or if you've loaded other launchers/software. So my suggestions are only based on what you've provided.

Thus I would recommend you re-download the rom & gapps, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and reflash.

Edit: This is in reply to kinglegz...

It could just be ADW's empty dock. If you can drag icons into that area and they stay there, then that's probably what it is. I think the default gesture for showing/hiding that dock is a swipe-up. Try swiping your finger up on your home screen to see if the main app dock reappears. Otherwise check your adw settings to see if another gesture is the culprit.

Anyone else have a problem with music randomly starting up for no reason?

I was in the living room, watching TV, when I heard music coming from my bedroom. I walked in to find my phone, plugged in and charging, and playing music from the stock music app for no reason at all. It just randomly started playing. It had been sitting in there since I got home from work, and started playing music about 2 hours later.
[Epic 4G Android Development] billfold:
Thank you decad3nce and the CM team for their hardwork!! This is the one ROM that I missed when I moved from my EVO to the EPIC. I have had no issues with this ROM that weren't already identified in the OP's instructions, and from what users have posted. It's only going to get better from here, and I am looking forward to every bit of it.

Issues will exist, but to see so many people continually complaining about issues that have already been identified and stated, it is sad to see. No one forced anyone to flash this ROM, and you should know what you are getting yourself into before flashing anything. Either live with it, or wait. Nitpicking on everything will not encourage further development, and will just shove talent to other platforms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Migital Warfare:
The problem isn't constant complaining, but rather that people don't bother to read or search the thread to see if the problem has already been brought up.
