Ok, further testing has shown the stock mms works fine except on wifi. That is when it sends gibberish >160 characters. It works fine on 3G and 4G. Where can this bug be reported?
[Epic 4G General] rsage:
Is there an alternative for TW's built-in task manager (the one that pops up when you long-press the home button)? I miss the ability to easily force-quit apps and free RAM that way.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
If you don't mind running a different launcher nemus launcher has a bulit in task manager or you could just go into Applications>Running Applications an clear out what's running that doesn't need to be and then press the menu button and clear out the cached processes that don't need to be running or you would like to close ;) I do the second option just cause I like adw ex and I'm accustom to clearing all those pesky apps
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Memory Booster Lite has a widget you can add to your homescreen to clear apps in memory. It does not work as well to stop a stuck app though.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
The only problem with said suggestion is that the app "clearing" ram uses ram ;)....
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Yes, that is the same problem I have with the System Panel app... it will clear ram but would routinely hog more that 30mb of it :o
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Not when I just checked it. I have 220 MB free, widget up and checked running services and it is not there. Unless it pops up way later.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Checked a few minutes later and widget still up, 223MB free and it is not listed in running services. You should really verify these things yourself before saying false statements.
[Epic 4G General] HumanXv2:
Has anyone figured out how to get to the hidden menus through the dialer?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Runs in the background still using ram even in "background" ;)

I was right but I was wrong saying it was a bad suggestion or had a quirk to it. Anyways it is great only uses 5 mbs of background ram and clears out the cache and running services thank you kenny for the "criticism" ;)
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Gotta watch you every minute...LOL.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
You gotta go to a Touchwiz ROM with hiddenmenu.apk in system. You also have to do that to update PRL and Profile.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
FYI Task manager takes up about 4.8MB so it is an even swap.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Thanks K0nane, GoSMS worked perfectly over wifi! Out of "thanks" for today, will hit you up on the reload.

Biggoron, you will need this as well.

Try Handcent and see if it works too.

Dialer Codes

See this post, cyMthey found alternate dialer codes for CM7, but the menus don't always work as expected.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/40253-epic-dialer-codes-working-on-cm7/
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
OK, if you have been following this thread you can see that I have been trying hard to make CM7 usable for me. First was that memo.apk did not work without TW. There are ported TW apps including memo in the Apps subforum now (thanks Biggoron for pointing me to that).

The stock email client blows...no way to pick "Always show pictures". K9 solved that for me and it is also much faster loading than stock email client.

The stock MMS.apk sends gibberish with large messages over wifi. K0nane informed me GoSMS with split messages fixes that and it does, thanks K.

I wanted this thread to be tip sharing on CM7 so we don't post in the Development forum so hopefully we can share more tips as we find them.
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
This might be an android question more than CM7, but I'm 75% sure I saw a setting before to change the intensity of the phone's vibration on notification/ringing. I can't find that anywhere on my phone now (Settings, Cyanogen Settings, Spare Parts, Quick Settings) I'm not finding it. Does anyone know where that is? Hopefully it wasn't a TW only thing.

By the way the 25% doubt is because I may have just seen a setting for Haptic Feedback intensity, but I can't find that now either.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

Do you ever get tired of being helpful? :D

Just a thought, since you control the OP, maybe turn it into a brief FAQ/Quick Reference of the tips found in the rest of the thread?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That's a great idea. I will try to set up all the links in the OP tonight. And I don't think the vibe intensity was a TW thing but it is not (yet) available on CM7. Maybe they will throw it in one day.
[Epic 4G General] Trail Snail:
Anyone else having issues with Open Garden and Android Wifi Tether (not the native app)? I installed nightly 15 last week and just tried it today an it is failing. Upgraded to nightly 20 and same thing. The native tether app is working, but not with 4G of course (known bug). I attached a screenshot. Both apps are giving me the same error.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Have you tried clearing data in the apps? Or uninstall and reinsatll (must have a copy on sd card since Sprint blocks them from our Market).
[Epic 4G General] Trail Snail:
Kenny- Yeah, I cleared the app data and uninstalled both, then reinstalled (I have the apk files). No change. It is not a big enough deal for me to restore to 7.2.0 RCO with no nighties, but 4G tether would be sweet.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Here try this one... works flawlessly for me on every rom I use... gonna have to change two settings before actually tethering though... first one is change to epic 4g... second is change to softap... hope it works for you... like I said it never fails for me... http://db.tt/Q6n9nOge
[Epic 4G General] Trail Snail:
Yeah! It is working. Thanks! One question though..I can't find the softap setting.

That is only Automatic or Ad Hoc there.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
As suggested I modified the OP and added a few tips and links.

No softap otion on the version downloaded from your link. Auto seems to work fine though. I am on 4G and using it right now.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Weird cuz that's the one in my dropbox... idk what's up with that... screenshot is the same on from my download link....
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The only way softap shows up is if I choose generic for device. Are you on CM7 or Legendary?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
It works with cleangb mtd, legendary bml/mtd, cm7, thunderhawk, and the new viper rom.... haven't tried it on cm7 since the rc0 with wimax though...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I know it works, just wondering if softap is not available under Epic because I am on CM7 nightly 20. I will have to nandroid back to Legendary to check that out.
[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
I am on 21 and it doesn't show for me.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Softap option is not available for CM7. It is only on TW ROMs. For CM7 and Wireless Tether posted by Flastnoles11 choose Automatic in second settings (default).

I love CM almost as much as i love xda its the best rom i have ever used and im a flashaholic with nightly updates im able to get my flash fix daily and the rom is incredibly stable and fast only thing i wish was it had over clocking ablity with out needing a outside kernel but i can live. Im just waiting for CM9 that is my dream

MMS over wifi is still not working properly. However if you use GoSMS instead it works fine.
[Epic 4G General] StoneRyno:
This is really weird but up until a few minutes ago sprint VVM app worked. I had to take my epic in for repair so I returned to stock. Then when I got home I rooted and flashed N21. Restored VVM from the updated VVM app backed up on EI22 before flashing. I tested VVM before installing anything else except mybackup and titanium backup and after installing everything and the app got the voicemail right away.

I wanted to test to make sure that the messaging settings were working correctly since I'm now using go SMS and now VVM isn't getting the voicemail. I checked in the stock messaging app and it did have the 9016 message. The good news is turning off notification of the stock messaging app and blacklisting 9016 in go SMS means no annoying notification for the 9016 message. For those of you who are using sprint's VVM and go SMS have I done something wrong to mess it up through configuring things?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
OK, to avoid driving yourself crazy, do a nandroid backup, flash CleanGB MTD ROM and do all your changes with dialer codes there. Then restore your CM7 nandroid.
[Epic 4G General] brooksyx:
This is what I do to change modem settings. Shouldn't have to change anymore now but it did help a lot.
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
So, I just had to ask...

Why is flash not working when recording video?

Is this one of those "CM" things in which they dnt include that feature due to the fact that "not all phones" have a flash capability?

Cuz I kinda miss having my flash on when recording video. Last night, I went out sleding with the Fam and decided it would be nice to catch some footage to share later with other family members. But to my surprise, no flash :\ it was darker than a black hole (dramatization, lol) and the video was nothing more than a black screen with audio :sad:
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
That is a good question Ceelos, you may be right about that and something Deca can look into. Did you try turning on one of the Flashlight apps first and then go to record video to see if it stays on. Some flashlight apps will not shut off if you close the app with the light on.
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
I just got off work n tried it.

I turn Torch on and try to get the camera to start but I get a "Cannot start camera" message, so I guess that won't work.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah, got the same thing with tiny flashlight.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Tjunks video camera from the Market has a light button. Plus allows instant posting to social media.
[Epic 4G General] Ceelos09:
Thanks Kenny. Just downloaded that app, might come in handy in case I need to shoot a video with flash again. I wanted to bring it up to Deca, but it seems he and the rest of the Epic CM team have shifted over to CM9, so...maybe bringing it up now will be of little use?
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:

Has anyone found a way to make Bluetooth auto-accept incoming files from a paired device rather than prompting each time?
[Epic 4G General] Trail Snail:
I flashed the latest nightly and I am not seeing these amazing ICS animations that everyone is talking about. Do I need to turn them on somewhere? My battery life has taken a major dive since I flashed this morning as well, but it is way too early to blame the nightly for that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I don't use the ADW launcher that comes with it. But I get animation flipping from vertical to horizontal on the phone. The fly in windows from Legendary were much more impressive.
[Epic 4G General] Trail Snail:
I am using the AWD launcher that came with it. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the animation before I flashed to notice the difference. It just seems to rotate when I flip it. Anyway, it otherwise seems to work OK.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Is it me, or does it seem a tad slower?
[Epic 4G General] kobby2k6:
it is really slow in my opinion...hopefully the guy who had the rotation lag fix in the development forum patches this or cm dev fix it in the new nightly

update to the EL30 modem while on CM7

(hopefully not too terribly redundant, but nice to have everything in one place)

a quick guide to update to the EL30 modem while on CM7 (odin required)

first, boot into recovery and do a full NANDroid backup of your current CM7 setup(i would recommend backing up all apps with your backup tool of choice too, i prefer titanium backup)

boot into download mode and odin stock EC05 found here, make sure you check repartition, and use the victory .pit file (hopefully you have that, i havent came across a link for just the pit file)

let stock EC05 boot, go into settings->applications->development->and check USB debugging

run the one click root found here (this will give you an older version of CWM) (its the run.bat file for those who dont remember)

boot into the old "purple" CWM 3.1.0.1, wipe dalvik, and flash the newest version found here (specifically you want the zip file "cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.zip zip flash for cwm")

now we can flash the modem, boot into the new CWM 5.0.2.7 and flash the modem zip found here (this will change the modem from ec05 to EL30)

let it boot, and verify under about phone the baseband now says EL30.

now we have to convert back to MTD partitions, easiest way to do this is to CWM flash the same CM7 build you were on before, if you don't still have the .zip on your SD card, you can redownload it here (make sure you wipe everything in CWM before flashing, data, cache and dalvik) let it boot, you should have a clean CM7 install, with the new EL30 modem

now you have a choice, you can either boot back into CWM and advanced restore your data from the nandroid you did in the beginning, or you can fully restore the old nandroid. OR just restore your apps! and your done!

I just did this and had to spend 30 minutes searching first for everything i needed, so i figured i would throw this together for anyone who wanted to do this
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It is easier to Odin (includes pit file) in Chris41g's prerooted EC05 tar. Skips a few steps. But nice job. Sorry you spent so long looking for everything. I have it all in the Modem update thread I made including a link of an ec05 to El30 modem flashable. CM7 instructions are in post 23 (noted in the OP). But yours is much more thorough than mine.
[Epic 4G General] DrKaotica:
only cause i redid my old crappy PC i use for odin haha.. i used to have all the crap on there.

I had the urge to try a modified tar that would have CWM built in, i seem to remember back in the ec05 days that i tried those and things did not turn out well, so i tend to gravitate to only using stock tars.
[Epic 4G General] kobby2k6:
Here is the updated fix for the rotation lag for nightly 24...i took "AmericanJedi001" and "chris41g'" guide and edited the zip for the rotation lag....the zip makes a lot of difference in rotation and looks amazing with the ics transistions..

Maybe it is just my imagination but I always install ADW EX as I find it runs much quicker than the default launcher.

I appreciate the props and I'm glad to see my teaching put to use, but editing framework.jar to lessen rotation lag is deprecated. The much more elegant solution is here: Rotation Lag Eliminator post

I need to quit being lazy and edit my Rotation Lag Eliminator thread OP. Maybe one day soon...
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

Have you enabled "all animations" in settings>display>animations?

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

It was suggested in another VVM thread, when moving the VVM.apk, it either works or doesn't. Have you tried removing and adding it back in? It was also suggested to copy a functional VVM while in TW ROM. I pulled mine out of a Nandroid of a TW ROM.
[Epic 4G General] StoneRyno:
I haven't used the stock CM ADW. I purchased ADW EX about a year ago and have always used it since. However I wish it had some of the settings in the stock CM ADW. It appears the dev removed a bunch of settings from the EX version :(

That's the weird part. I had to go back to stock for sprint repair center to fix my epic. So while I was on EI22 I opened the voicemail app. Composed a voicemail to myself. The voicemail was recieved within a second or two of sending it to myself. I deleted that test message and then backed up the voicemail app with titanium backup just as I have done when it worked before. I tried clearing the data for the app and unintalling it and then restoring it again from the backup but it still doesn't want to work. Which is why I thought perhaps I did something wrong since the only variable is now using go SMS instead of the stock messaging app. However the stock one is still present and it still gets the messages too I just unchecked the setting to show notifications for it so that I only get notifications from go SMS. And blacklisted 9016 in go SMS but the 9016 messages can be seen in the stock messaging app if I open it. Is there anything else I can try?

Okayy so I have 3 questionss

Firsttt

I'm using the ics theme

For some reason my signal bars and wifi, 4g, 3g all of them don't show as blue

Not alwaysss

Sometimes they be blue and sometimes grey

Does anyone know how to keep them blue or what causes them to change?? They look better blue lol

Seconddd

Is there a way to get the volume to go alll the way down to silent after vibrate?? I don't like to have to changeit from the status bar everytime

Thirddd

It there a phone.apk that's transparent?? I would like onee

Can anyone help me with any of these lol

I think I can make the phone app transparent but I've never done anything like this so ill have to backup and give it a shot but if anyone already has one made that would ave me some work with things I don't know lol

And the silent from the volume isn't really really necessary but it would be nice same goes for the blue icons in status bar
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
I know they turn grey when you are not synced/connected to google... so really no way to change that... can't help you with the other stuff...
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
But wait.. I swear they turned blue for a lil lol idk how tho??

And after I reflashed nightly 26 I didn't have gapps so is that what u mean? If I don't have gapps ill have them blue?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
1.)

When you have data turned off your signal bars will be greyed out since that is used to show your connectivity with googles servers* .

2.)

In Settings>Cyanogenmod Settings>Sound Settings> there is a box you check here that enables the "Silent" step for the volume rocker. Check that box.

3.) Sorry can't help I'm not aware of any.

*= I'm not exactly sure but somewhere along those lines :)
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Thak you sooooooo much 2/3 is the best I got so far lol

I got the silent on now thank you I knew there would b a setting for it idk how I missed it lol

And for the blue icons I just got them to be blue by turning on background data lol my wifi is now bluee

But that sucks cuz I don't wanna have to keep baground data on to keep them blue =( lol

And ill work on it tomorrw and maybe MAYBE if I can get it to work ill post it forif anyone else wants it lol
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
You do realize that's a feature, and the greyed-out icons serve a purpose (to let you know you're not connected to Google), right? LOL
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Lol ya I understand that but I just love the blue lol

It culd b a good thing to someone who usually uses the market. But is this a feature in every cm7 theme? I haven't tried others to see I like this one lol

But I barely ever turn on background data

And I've came up with a problemthat messed up my market completely lol

I deleted vending.apk and put the ics themed market instead but it wouldn't ever show up in my apps or titanium and I rebooted

So I deleted the ics one and returned the vending.apk from gapps pack and it came up this time but fc's every time I open it after like 5 seconds

I wiped data and still no fix

would reflashing gapps fix this lol?

The only problems I'm having now are that the home keys and screen don't get haptic feedback unless long pressed, I can't get the stock voicemail app, and I'm having trouble receiving calls and texts. I can call out or text others and I'm on the latest PRL, but I don't get good service in my room so I wonder if its just being picky. Any ideas?
