Weirdest thing....when my phone lights up...the screen wont turn off unless i press the power button...i checked the settings that i thought mattered...this has not ever happened before..suggestions?? Is a reflash without wiping data in order?? Thanks in advance...
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
What are you even talking about man? I think you're confused as to what I was referring to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Is screen timeout set to anything?

Is this problem always or just on lock screen or where exactly?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Has anyone had 4G issues? Like it not connecting?

Not sure if it's intended but CM7 tab from cm blog is gone now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:

[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
Looks like cm7 tab is back. I guess removing cm7 page was unintended.

No stable release yet? Saw on G+ 7.2 has a stable release for all officially supported devices. If video recording is fixed I might just move back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Video recording is what is holding the stable build for Epic up. noobnl, DRockstar, and I have been working on getting it to work right, but so far no luck :(

In other news, adjusting in-call volume does work again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
Good to hear in-call volume is fixed. Video recording didn't matter to me, but not being able to adjust volume made me switch to other roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Kudos to you guys for taking that issue on. I know it's been around for awhile and a few attempts had been made before but nothing seemed to squash it. Once it's fixed, I may have to compare which I really like better, Cm9 or Cm7.

[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I have issues with 3G connecting at times, mainly after toggling airplane mode
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
this problem is always...but i also noticed...unless it was theme related..my lock screen disappeared and also...it started bout the time my phone alerts me that an prl update is available..dunno if those events are correlated...just saying...im on cm9 beta 4 now but having charging issues...think im going back to 7 for a few..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Xinlitik:
What kind of issues? I have pretty bad problems with 3g failing to connect, or showing the icon but not providing any actual data. Especially following wifi or airplane mode. Like that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
exactly. especially if i lose signal for a decent amount of time like when i hop on the subway.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gdbassett:
No, I have data issues too. I regularly have to reboot my phone to get data connectivity back.

I also get wierd issues where it seems the phone runs it's battery strait down, even when in airplane mode. (These may be due to an older battery, but the battery lasted all day when I first flashed the rom and still does most days.)

Also, what happened to the clock app? I regularly used the timer in it. However the one in CM doesn't seem to have a timer or stop watch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
I have data issues too, but I'm in a low signal area in a big building at work so its hard to say if its rom related.. toggling airplane usually gets my 3g back

I might try aokp or maybe odin something other than fc19 modem just to see

Your probably refering to the touchwiz clock app which is not going to come with cm7.. however, go over to the apps section and find the thread with the touchwiz apps ported to cm.. I believe they have the clock app you're looking for :thumbup:

Edit: 5 min left at work and bored... here's the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452004
[Epic 4G Android Development] gdbassett:
Thanks. I didn't realize the clock was touchwiz.

I ended up flashing back to CleanGB and just editing the build.prop. CM7 is just too unreliable, particularly in data and anomalous battery draining. CM7 was 99% of the way there, but CleanGB was 100% with and wasn't missing anything I really needed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Sometimes my 3g doesnt like to reconnect after turning off wifi or after calls, an airplane mode toggle normally fixes it.

For anyone that's dying for the in-call volume fix, here's the build I am currently running. It's an 'Unnofficial' tagged build, but its what would be 7.2, if video recording was fixed.

Sorry, still no video fix. I really can't seem to figure out the video issue, I've tried a bunch of MFC changes that noobnl recommended, but none seem to work :(

Ill prob keep at it for another day or two, but its quite fustrating
[Epic 4G Android Development] retrobits:
Thanks for that unofficial. Vol fix seems good to me. Also I really like the short button led timeout on that build - they just wink right out in a few seconds. I can't stand those little buggers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Tortel, thanks for sharing the unofficial build. I've been planning to go back to CM7 for a bit to see what my new battery can do, so the timing is great :)

One request, though - would you mind sharing the md5sum? I've learned (the hard way) to like md5 verification before a flash, lol

CyanogenMod 7.2 Released! (2012-Jun-16)

i noticed this was released on june 16....

"After 3 rounds of release candidates, and squashing a few more bugs in the stabilization branch of CyanogenMod 7, the newest stable iteration of the Gingerbread-based CM7 is now being released. The team would like to thank everyone who submitted and followed up on bugs during the RC phase and helped us all get a better 7.2 out there, we couldn’t have done it without all of you, and we’re happy to say most of the devices slated for RC1 ended up getting a stable release today."

and there was a "stable release" of 7.2 released on the same date....is this the final stable version?

[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
bump....i checked and the epic doesnt have an official stable release listed on the cm7 spreadsheat http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=epicmtd&type=stable how ever it does look like cm7 released an epic specific stable release on june 16 (link in my above post)..after rc3 was released...is this the final stable release? looked around for changelog no luck....i have a feeling im missing something veery obvious :eek:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Video recording is still borked. I believe some one said that is all that is holding up the release.

There's change, what it is I do not know... but it's there. and the only real issue is video recording for me anyways. everything else is pretty great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
I saw in review.cyangenmod that the lib lights were built from source and was merged on July 4 when's this gonna be included

[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
lownox will probably be first to get a build out with that since as the guy above pointed out it looks like it's on a weekly schedule. The kernel in the 7.1 build has a different size than the previous one from 6.2x.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
What oooone
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Haptic feedback has never worked for the softkeys. Lights not timing out is because that is based on patches that are not merged in CM7 because they cause issues with other devices (Backported from CM9)

I have another Unofficial test build here, this one may have some better vid recording. It also includes the new built-from-source liblight, which contains some fixes from nubecoder to make the notification light work better (Such as actually being on when fully charged).

EDIT: Newer build, check here
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
But haptic works for long-pressing the back button - why can't that also be implemented for short-pressing the same button? And if that can be done, the other three shouldn't be very different...

Or am I thinking of the wrong buttons when you say "soft keys?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] retrobits:
At least on my phone Tortel's 0711 unofficial makes the capacitive button lights just stay on. Tried changing device setting feature, no help.

Reverted back to Tortel's 0618 unoffical and they turn off just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
Thanks for that build tortel I just flashed it.. brightness works again.. I noticed my bars turned green right away, hopefully this will be alittle better with the connectivity issues..

Edit: ohemgee.. my led just turned blue as my batt was fully charged, neat
[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
I'm having problem with capacitive button lights staying on as well on the build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Me too

But I feel like I've overlooked some mention of the issue previously - was the cap light feature the culprit that broke auto brightness? Or am I getting my hazy memories crossed? Lol ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Yeah, sorry, I just realized that the liblight changes to fix the notification LED reverted the softkey controls. Its been all patched up now, and I have yet another build (Hooray!)

This also includes some keymap fixes from DRockstar:

Key changes:

sym: special character picker

Fn+sym (.com): "www." if text not entered, ".com" if text entered

Fn+smiley key: TAB (\t)

Fn+1: ` (backtick)

Also, from my tests, video recording seems to work. If I could get some confirmation on this, it would be great.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
working pretty well over here. Video recording seems much improved compared to previous versions in my brief testing (not flawless but close enough to not matter). Special keys and lights good to go, too.

Now to hope for some custom kernels based on this and a miui gb build.

Zeinzu vs. Video recording round 2 ;)

I got 10 dima-dollars on Zeinzu
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Everything passed the quick test, 45 second video with no glitches and the cap key lights and key mappings work as advertised

Thanks for the quick fix with icing on top - the .com key is good to have back after a (very) long time, but the new www. addition is badass :)

I'll wait to see more feedback on the video recording. Plus I'm just so damn excited about Jelly Bean.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
anyone else got issues with connecting to 3g?

on CM9 or TW, 3g usually connects in about 5-10 sec.

on CM7, usually the same, but some times it takes up to 5 min to connect or 3g icon shows but no internet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I've noticed this issue maybe one out of five times when switching back from wifi. An airplane mode toggle usually rectifies the issue for the moment.

It hasn't occurred yet at a time when I can grab a logcat, so I don't have any ideas about the cause yet - I'll see if I can duplicate the issue on purpose to try to get the log data...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
Ah okay, at least there's a workaround.

Also, as you mentioned, this happened when I was trying to switch to 3g from wifi.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I haven't been able to duplicate it yet since I started trying, but the order of events suggests that some 3g-specific component is not properly re-initialized when switching back from wifi. Airplane mode just forces the phone to start over, and the fact that it has worked every time so far leads me to believe that the error is somewhere in the wifi turn-off function (otherwise, the problem would also occur when turning off airplane mode... although this reasoning isn't enough to be sure of that guess)

Sometimes I can browse the web, but other apps (like the play store) act like there is no connection - that may also be significant in determining where the fault lies...
[Epic 4G Android Development] retrobits:
I can confirm from my testing that the data connectivity issue occurs when swiching from wifi to 3g. I suspect its a linux routing table issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MrEpic:
Wow...been noticing for the last few days...my rintones not working...let alone the ones that came with the rom. I have fiddled with the status bar sound switch..as well as settings...is there something im missing...besides calls lol...?? Thanks in advance...btw...love this rom...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
Anyone try the latest build bot nightly?

Or does anyone know if the cm team still pays attention to those?
[Epic 4G Android Development] StoneRyno:
Did you double check the settings for the sounds? I know I've had some sounds go wacky on me with CM9 come to find out the setting reset to none instead of the sound I had selected. Also if the file is missing that could be why as well. Which has happened to me before as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I'm still looking into the meaning (and relevance) of an observation I made - 'busybox ifconfig' shows that the data connection is a ppp device, and it lists two different ip addresses. 'busybox traceroute [insert web address here, I used www.google.com]' shows that the outgoing data is traveling through the second address listed, which is the P-t-P address. However, visiting whatismyip.com indicates the other IP, labeled in ifconfig as the inet addr...

This may have nothing whatsoever to do with the connection issue we've discussed, but I thought it was interesting regardless... I can't recall if TW roms use the same device, but I have a slight inclincation that a different device type is used - I will see if I can check it using the temp boot, since I don't want to Odin back to stock just to check :)

tell me about it but why cant we take the cm9 camera app and lib files if there are any??? and input them into the cm7 rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I don't know. I don't see much activity going on for CM7 to fix its last "major" bug or see activity anymore for CM9 other than what's automatically generated from upstream. There also hasn't been any word on CM10 but there's been plenty of activity for the newer devices the dev team bought via all the donations like the GS2, GS3, and Galaxy Nexus. I get the feeling they don't give a rats *ss about the borked video recording in CM7, the left over bugs of CM9, CM10 for the Epic, or the Epic in general anymore.

I grabbed the APKs from the deodexed FC09 stock rom along with the bluetooth files. The camera works fine, so does playback. There isn't an LED option for video that I can see. I included the APKs for the camera and bluetooth, in case you want that to work better too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
That's GB still and is different from CM version of the camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
It's GB? And what is CM7 based on? ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
Exactly! CM7 is GB... and this version of the camera works.

Of course CM7.2 was officially released, so they might have fixed the camera anyway. I still needed my bluetooth files in the official release, but I didn't do a clean install. I think CM in general likes to break the bluetooth to get an extra 4 minutes of battery life.

The official release of CM7 became available for Epic 2 days ago on the 26th, but I hadn't seen any updates here on XDA.

Somebody should update the OP...

Thanks,

Josh
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Because GB has crappy camera and Cyanogenmod is different than TW camera. That's why I said CM9 version of the camera because that version doesn't have any stutter or lag issues plus it transitions from dark to light better
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
You actually said:

No mention of CM9 specifically (nor any explanation). It just seemed like you were pointing out the GB base to him as if he'd made a mistake or forgotten. But that made no sense, because this thread is about a GB based rom, as are the apps he referred to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
To each their own I guess, I don't like the CM cameras. I prefer the one I added in. I know it's kinda dumb, but I don't like the target turning red when it's in focus like on the CM cameras. I prefer the normal green if it's good, red if it's not. It makes for better focusing, and actually lets me know if I'm in focus, even when I'm not entirely sober. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I said CM9 camera just like you quoted me and Using CM9 camera on GB because it actually works versus CM7 version.

At Josh I just got over it and at least works haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
lol, nice. The camera apk I attached works great for me, I actually like the control setup too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Maybe I missed a previous mention of CM9 - the post I quoted was the first time I saw you mention it, yet that post was your most recent at the time of my reply. It sounded like you were saying that you had already suggested the CM9 camera in a previous post... but if you did, I didn't find it.

But thanks for that suggestion, I'll try it when I get the chance
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I was wondering if the CM9 camera would work on CM7? Never tried it. That's what I was asking in my last post
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Oh wow, I thought you said that the CM9 camera did work better - I didn't see any questions:
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
That's my bad I thought it made into a question. Well I meant as in that The CM9 camera works versus CM7 camera. So I was wondering if it was possible to put the CM9 camera on CM7 that's what I was originally getting at
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
I don't know. But I'll try and tell you what happens. :)

Unless those are based on the latest release I don't see them as valid options.

I could be wrong (am pretty often actually) but I think the kernel has some of the fixes.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Eins7ein:
I believe when I asked before there have been several changes to the CM7 kernel since any of the available kernels have had a release. Chief among them I know of was a fix for GPS in Navigation.

I think there is a tutorial somewhere written by Chris41g on how to pack a custom kernel.
