I have a small problem. Everything seems to be working fine except MMS. Iam on boost and I cannot get into data mode to edit mms server. When I do *#*#3282#*#* then press edit, enter MSL I get an modem error. Now I know dialer codes don't work with ASOP roms. I need to edit the APN settings. The APN back up and restore app doesn't with either. So, what can I do? Please Help.

Could some one Explain this to me? Why does cm not have ez to edit APN setting & so on? (Or does it & we both just don't know what we are doing IE where to change them) cm is always referd to as not been tied to any make model carrier or anything, right? I see APN settings on cm7 on other phones if I'm not mistakin, never changed them to see if they worked as the phones where still staying on the carrier they started with b4 the cm flash.

Along the same lines why can't stuff like screen cal work & prl updates work? I'm not *****ing or complaing I would just love to hear a real Explanation from a software engineer/dev. Can cm fully work on Nexus phones or any phone? As in 100% of everthing works (not talking about sum app but prl mms sms calls entering MSL ... sensors low level system stuff) Now b4 some one gets snappy on me for ask this. Keep in mide I NEVER ASK THINGS IN CM THRERDS any more cuz every time I ask what I think is a real Technical Question about why something does or does not work with CM people get defensive fan boyish and start snapping about it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
CM is based off of asop, which is a basic rom to be built off of, so yeah you can get 100% working CM rom on phones other than nexus phones, thanks to Google giving open source code and dev's for hard work getting all the drivers going. If you don't want sarcasm and snappiness, don't ask dumb questions, read the FAQ'S.....

So your saying that asking Technical reasons why screen cal and prl, sensors, etc. Asking for a siple real technical reasons is a dumbass question is that what you're f*cking saying.

Ya see I give up, all cm threads are the same arond hear, what do ppl not understand about the word technical!

And BTW WTF DOES thanking the dev have to do with a dam thing I said?!? I always say thanks to devs even if I'm not using there work right then & there. Always read the FAQS!!!!!! FAQS DO NOT HAVE "TECHNICAL" ANSWERS MOST OF THE TIME! And if u really wanted to answer you would have posted a link to this "faq" that answers what I asked.

Cole are u a dev have u coded any thing on xda? Was I talking **** about any thing u did or any ones work? Hummmmm? Was I? NO! Was I compaining about said things not working? No I just asked why? Can we not ask why?

You, zman, remind me of another "z" guy that just recently got banned.

Some things are beyond the scope of the rom. Not because it can't be part of the rom, but simply because the devs choose not to do them. It is their choice to do what they feel is best. You harassing them, and mucking up this thread is not helpful to anyone. If you need certain features, and this rom doesn't support them, then find a different rom.

And, if you are so technically minded, then you certainly should be able to figure out on your own whether this rom does what you want or not without being hand-held by the devs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
No, question aren't allowed to be asked on a developer forum. There's rootzwiki for that :-P

Sarcasm. Shouldn't have to point it out though.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Vizzo:
No offense but it seems as though whenever someone has a legitimate question, concern, or thought that could in any way bode negative towards the ROM in question they are bondarded with flaming and negativity instead of real explanations, answers, or intellectual responses. This IMO is what I think of as a combination of fanboy syndrome and internet forum hierarchy/government.

You can not question this ROM. You can not question the devs. You do not have rights.

Even if you question the devs, not other users, you get the rundown by the fanboys. The fanboys speak for the devs out of term, as if it is their place to answer questions about a ROM they did not build, giving you **** for questioning it cause you did not build it. You don't even get an answer from the devs because your legitimate question or concern is drowned out by screaming fanboys in your face.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wispoffates:
Well now after a page of everyone arguing about whether questions can be asked in here I guess I'll solve that by answering them...

1. APN settings - I suppose you have the answer to this all ready but I'll reiterate just to be thorough. The dial code doesn't work because phone.apk doesn't implement it however voice commands allows you to speak "A P N" to access those settings.

2.As for PRL and Calibration updates those get a bit more tricky... PRL updates interface directly with the modem and as you may know Epic and Nexus S/4G use different modems. The result is the PRL update stuff the the Nexus S doesnt match up with the hooks in the Epic's modem. The PRL update code for the Epic is tied in with TW hooks and is proving difficult to extract but we are working on it. Calibration is in the works as well but is also tied into TW a bit and since we are planning to switch to a 3.0 based kernel calibration is on hold till that switch completes.

So in closing yes CM can work 100% correctly on this and every other phone it just takes a lot of hardwork from developers to work on all these tiny little bits. There is a community of essentially hundreds of developers (CM+Hacksung+EpicCM+Many others) working around the clock to get this to work as smooth as possible and its still hard.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
No one who isn't mucking the code has any rights p privileges when it comes to the ROM.

Those who want to see something included in the ROM can submit the changes should it make the grade, if not grab the source and make it oneself.

That being said, I understand what you are saying. The debacle over battle issues was atrocious in how it was handled. Obviously it was an acknowledged issue as its given its own line in B2, but there is a well defined system for bug issues, and upstream issues cannot be addressed at the ROM level, no?

We use it, or not. There are many ROMs out there across 3 android versions (Froyo, GB, ICS) that you can find something that blows your skirt up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amateurhack:
That's really not the point of my post. He's the one calling people names, foul language and all. Certainly we can, and have, questioned the devs, it's just a matter of the tone, and how he responds to those that tell him the simple facts. It seems to me that his question was little more than bait to get everyone uspet (again, if its the same guy.) And, like I said, if he's technically-minded enough to ask questions like that, he ought to be technically-minded enough to figure it out.

I don't know if there's history here that is a legitimate beef between these guys, but it would seem to me that there could be a better way of dealing with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
Ya your totally right this is a Dev thread.:o Its just BS that when me or any one asks a question thats Obviously pointed at some one whos working on or has worked on said code, rom, theme, etc. chimes in just to yelllllllllllllllll "dont ask" if the Devs dont feel like answering thats cool no big deal.

wispoffates answered what i was curious about:cool: & Thank you wispoffates
[Epic 4G Android Development] davidh59:
Zman, I'm not a dev but I'm gonna give a shot at an answer and why your questions stir things up. All of the things that you ask about are fixable with enough work. But this a beta and there are much more pressing issues to fix than things we use on a very infrequent basis,like screen cal. As far as the stirring things up, IMO the devs should not have to explain anything to us. I like that they read the threads and offer help when they can. But if I read the posts right they have jobs or school and this a part-time non paying job. I appreciate them spending time coding not necessarily educating us
[Epic 4G Android Development] zman519:
@davidh59

I agree with what you said, You hit the nail on the head. i just wondered if the APN & screen cal did have somthing to do with touchwiz, Or if it was more of a driver thing like making a driver for a wifi chip or gps to play with a new OS or AOSP etc..

My thanks go out to all the devs working on our phones, with out them we would all have a phone that DOES NOT live up to its name.

GPS Fix and Conservative Overclocking

Epic CM Team Blog: GPS Fix and Conservative Overclocking

Temporary kernel needs your testing and feedback. Please read the blog entry for details.

Be sure to uninstall and reinstall Google Maps to unbreak it before testing this new temporary kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdee323:
Safe overclocking sounds great. I know a while back you guys were about to support voodoo color with the stock kernel. Is that still in the plans?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
We never planned on supporting voodoo color. We tested it but we dislike what it does to the default color experience. If marcusant manages to adjust the voodoo color defaults so it behaves *exactly* like stock color then we will consider shipping it in a standard CM9 kernel. He's experimenting in Nyan.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Vizzo:
I can not be heard on phone calls. Every, and I mean every phone call I am told by everyone they can hardly hear a word I say, as if I'm talking low while standing in another room nowhere near the phone. This is even if my mouth is directly in front of the mic hole and I'm practically shouting. Temp boot stock and I can be heard fine. Reflash, odin, wipe data, nothing changes. I am forced to use bluetooth only for calls which also has an issue of "fading out" as described by others I have calls with. They say it happens every few minutes. I "fade out" as if I've moved far away from the bluetooth then fade back in after another few minutes. Again, does not happen when I temp boot stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
His newest kernel default values work extremely well.. Maybe increase the gamma values by 5 to ensure no green tinting
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Green tinting is not the problem that we dislike. Rather edges of gentle color fades become abrupt with voodoo color.
[Epic 4G Android Development] incisivekeith:
That's very unusual. Is it the limitation of the version of ROM (beta 2) we are using, because I can't believe it's ICS. It seems like using another texting app is the only solution here. Any recommendations?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Yup. The current implementation of Voodoo Color makes some things worse (mainly the gamma for the lower tones).

However, on my phone the temperature is so bad by default that without Voodoo Color it is difficult to even look at (8500k anyone?). Also, Voodoo Color does fix the low brightness purple/red tint.

A little more in depth here.

No I think it's how SMS is designed since its creation. It's basically designed for 160 characters, this is including blank spaces. All messages are limited to 160 characters only. New technology splits it for you that's why you get it separately sections. But by design its not made for blank lines. The purpose is to deliver a short message within 160characters or less. For anything longer you have email.

Thank you for the response. That did indeed get rid of them from my status bar but it also deletes the file I downloaded.

So whats up with the CM9 team bashing the themers???? Poorly infromed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
No one is bashing themers, it's a matter of making people aware that at any given time they should be sure that the theme in which they're using is updated to the newest iteration of our CM9 releases(Which they most of the time if not all of the time are), nothing in it was aimed towards themers, to try to draw blood from a stone in this instance is pointless. Making something out of nothing.

It's just like with kernel's, check within that thread for the issue before aiming it towards the ROM as any given time a modification could not have installed properly.

Still seems a little suspicious... :rolleyes: dunno i dont really care... just think its a little messed up that they dont take the time to look in the themes thread.

I've noticed that Google Navigation keeps hanging on the "title screen" after entering an address. Also seems the GPS can't get a lock as TeleNav failed to work as well. Didn't have this issue in Beta 1, and currently running a restored Nandroid of it.

I've tried wiping everything and starting from scratch, and have also Cleared Data from Maps to no avail.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I love the volume fix on Beta 2, but since I'm a Professional Driver, working Navigation is a must.

Sorry if I sound like a repeat on this issue.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just re-read the "goals for Beta 3" blog. I think I'll just stick to Beta 1 until everything gets resolved.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DurhamHusker:
I had the same problem.

Boot into recovery.

Clear cache and dalvik.

Reboot system.

Try installing new Chrome Beta then.

Worked for me. Since MTD reduces cache space on the phone in favor of other things it can get crammed when Google uses that cache for temp space when downloading big apps. And Chrome is over 20 Mbytes.

If you have the paid voodoo sound app you can have it inject the sound driver on boot with the stock kernel, which honestly works just fine. The stock kernel doesn't support voodoo color and does not have voodoo sound built in, though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smoke_007:
I have 2 Epic phones and had the same problem on both when upgrading to cwm 9 beta 2. This is how I Fixed both of mine. Anyone having this problem, download GPS Status from the market.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2

Reboot your phone if your GPS or Navigation is not working. Then, start up GPS Status and leave your phone set for a minute or two UNTIL it finds and tracks at least 3 to 5 satellites. The bottom half of the screen will then be filled with GPS coordinate info. Then, you can back out of the app and start up Navigation. I only needed to do this once on each phone and it fixed the problem.

GPS Status also has an option to "Reset your A-GPS XTRA Data (cold boot the GPS chip)". I didn't need to perform that to fix Navigation, but you can give that a try if all else fails.

Good luck,
