[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxps2gba:
I switched to cm7 today and am loving it. I have noticed one glitch that I was wondering if there was a fix for. On the physical keyboard when I hit fn then the ".com" button nothing happens when it should type in .com. I use this feature pretty frequently so if there is a fix for this i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
No fix. It's not an included function of AOSP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
flashed RC2 last night.. forgot how much faster CM7 is over CM9/AOKP... But then I was a bonehead and borked my install, so back to my nandroid of CM9 for now. I need to recreate a cm7 nandroid (as all my nandroids other than CM9 b3 seem to be hosed now) So i'm sure i'll play with RC2 again soon..
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
yeah cm7 speed and stability is amazing.

if you go cm7 completely stock + v6 + kak tweaks = the best user experience. the battery life is great also.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
Been using CM7 for about a week and a half now (First time using CM7 or anything other than slightly stock modifications). I am using CM7 with the overclocking set to 1.2Ghz. Anyway here are my thoughts, experiences, etc.

Pros

-Sooo much faster. I love the fact I can go to my home screen and the apps repopulate instantly instead of waiting 10-15 seconds everytime I pull out the keyboard... Why cant touchwiz figure that one out grrr.

-Battery life seems a little better if not the same.

-Did I mention it was faster

-Ease of overclocking was nice

Cons

-Didnt realize the voicemail app was sprint based... That was evil to transfer over.

-Signal seems weaker, not getting signal in places I had it before.

-Some apps dont play nice. I had some apps crash and there was one day my keyboard program (SwiftKeyX) seemed to keep crashing... Restarted the phone and that stopped. I did have apps crash on stock but cm7 it seems to happen more frequently. Nothing to major though.

-Had my data connection completely die one day not sure what caused that, restart fixed it.

Features I miss

-Voicemail app doesnt work as well before.

-I really miss the touchwiz way of dialing (Sliding a contact left or right for calling someone or messaging someone)

-Cant set customer reminder/alerts on calender app

Biggest issue so far seems to be signal strength. Seems like places where I could pull a connection before I can no longer... Not sure if CM7 uses different modems than what is on stock or what but my PRL and Profile are updated and I am still having issues (not just seeing lower bars as I realize the animations are different, but signal seems to be less).
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
CM7 works on any modem. It doesn't install any modem. It uses whatever is on the phone when it's installed. You can always odin another modem(EC05, EB13, EI22, EL30, etc).
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
So it should have the same modem I had installed when I was using the rooted stock version which had better signal... So would that mean its not the modem that is causing problems but a setting change in CM7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
No Its the Modem, And Voicemail Does work on cm7 there's a thread for it, and talking about apps crashing really? I had thousand more FC's daily on TW than I ever had on AOSP. There's no setting for a modem it stays the same unless updated through ODIN.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
Ill try fiddling with the other modems. Do you have one you recommend?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SpicyBurrito:
You'll have to try them out. Different people get different results. EL30 works the best for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Fb 15 was good for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
not sure what's the problem is for voicemail since I use google voice

But for dialing, you could dialer app like ExDialer if you miss slide to call/message.

and for TW calendar app try this

[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Cool, there is a changelog!

Just a note: That version also introduces a few regressions, mainly because the capacitive key fixes aren't included in the main CM tree.

I have another update for everyone, a Epic specific CM7.2-RC2 build!

See the first post for details, and the CM7 Status Page for download links

Also - About the video recording issues: After installing this update, clear the Camera app data and try recording. I dont think *all* the issues are fixed, but white balance works, and it seems to skip much less now. Im going to keep working on it, but I've been messing with this too much recently...
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
there is no problem with the voicemail you need to download the VM app for CM7
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Truth
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No, because the modem did not change, so its part in the process did not change. His issue is only introduced when everything except the modem is changed, so your logic is backwards.

That being said, since his modem only appears to malfunction with CM7, it is fair to say that CM7 doesn't work with that modem as well as stock does - but the issue is still originating in the rom, because if it was in the modem then he would have had the same issue with every rom, to some degree.

Finally, this does not mean that the rom (or the modem) is broken - just that the combination of the two is less than optimal. Other factors may be at play that could account for an issue that is always present but not always perceptible - if the issue is a matter of signal strength, we could all have the same issue without noticing unless we're among the unlucky users living in an area with weaker signal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Iv'e tested all the modems and have no bad combo's as you mentioned, a modem cant change its signal just because of a ROM.

Ive gotten same signal strength on each modem no matter what rom i was using
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Idk man on tw roms fc09 I get 0 time w/o signal and with cm9 on fc09 I get 15% time w/o signal... on cm9 el30 modem gives 0 time w/o signal and on tw roms I get about 10% time without signal... maybe just a coincidence? But it does seem that different roms do effect modems sometimes...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
"Common: Improved Calendar reminder options – Danny Baumann"

I hope that means I can do custom reminders again. Ill find out as soon as I figure out how to upgrade... Weeeee

As for the modem stuff I upgraded to FC09 so I will see how that does. I know that CM7 displays the signal strength differently so I was going more by places I used to get pretty good signal and now its choppy. Not just the signal bars just seems like its timing out more. Voice seems fine, data is the one that is choppy at points. Overall I am still very pleased and will most likely keep CM7 and I might move to CM9 when the battery/performance issues get better for the Epic.

Thank you all for your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Sure, but did you also test each modem in your location compared to another state, or at least another county?

The modem didn't change its signal for any reason - the issue is most likely centered around a weak signal, coupled with differences in the way CM handles every modem. The combination makes evident an issue that is otherwise unnoticed by most.

The only thing you have proven is that your area is not plagued with weak signal, at least not as much as some of us in other areas. Your signal is apparently strong enough that you simply won't be able to help with the testing on any weak signal-related issues.

Of course, it could also be related to variations in hardware due to today's lower production standards - but that still means you do not have the ability to provide useful feedback, because you have already claimed that your signal strength is almost entirely unaffected by modem choice.

None of this proves your assertion that the problem lies within the modem, especially since you have also asserted that you do not have the same issue with the same rom/modem combination - you provided one of the best counterpoints to your own argument ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
Bummer, it looks cleaner but still no option for customer reminders.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I was really happy to see this on the CyanogenMod blog, and it should make some CM7 fans happy...

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/the-future-of-cyanogenmod-7

I have had the Epic 4G since the first month of release, and never had a ROM on my phone for very long until CM7 came along. Amazingly, I've run CM7 since alpha stages as a daily driver, to become the only ROM in the history of the Epic to last more than a day with me.

Anyways, even if the EpicCM team abandons CM7, the sources will still be there, and and it can still be improved and updated in the future if anyone has the desire to contribute.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I'd also like to take a moment to express some sincere gratitude to Tortel1210 for taking the time and energy needed to backport the work being done on CM9 to CM7 so that everyone running CM7 can reap the benefits.

I would highly encourage everyone running CM7 to hit the thanks button on Tortel's posts, and give him a pat on the back for taking his time out the day for helping make CM7 updates happen.

Of course everyone on the EpicCM team deserves kudos, but I find it appropriate right now to call out Tortel on his contributions to CM7.

I for one appreciate his work... good job!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
any colonels with voodoo color out there working well for people on RC2? i suppose flashing anything at this point would break the capacitive button switch?

Last I read Nyan 4.1 had 4g issues?

I was using Shadow Kernel on RC1 update 1 and it was working great, i flashed it over RC2 and it seemed really laggy :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
Where is the capacitive button switch you are talking about?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
One, don't do a custom kernel yet on CM7 RC2 yet unless it was compiled for it... there were kernel source changes.

Look in the settings the one under CyanogenMod settings you'll find it there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I don't know of any kernels updated for the latest release, but I would love to see someone produce one. I know bbelos and earthbound were the main go-to guys IIRC. I know EB is still making kernels so I think he would be our best bet as I thought I read bbelos moved to another device. Or maybe he's working exclusively on CM9?

I've been out of the CM game for a bit now, so I haven't been keeping too close of tabs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tazfanatic:
I read some where that ÜBER™ was helping EB with his kernels so try hitting him up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
He is working on it... the last commit he put in screwed some things up so he is working on it....
[Epic 4G Android Development] DrKaotica:
yeah definately, just curious if there was anything out there yet, maybe somewhere other than xda or whatever. makes sense with the source changes

word? that'd be awesome! i used to really not like voodoo color, then after using it for awhile im "one of those guys" who got used to it. and my phone runs perfectly UVing so i usually do it, just cause it makes me feel cooler...

I appreciate all you guys do.. happy CMing
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
So I'm about to flash CM7 back on my phone again, but if I remember right, I didn't like the dialer too much because the letters on the numbers were so darn small. My question is, what are the chances the TW dialer from People's ROM would work if I just replaced that single apk?

I'm assuming it wouldn't work, but I wanted to get some verification first. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Just use exdialer app. They have few nice skins too
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Nope wouldn't work... the dialer depends on touch wiz and won't work on cm7
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
That's what I figured, thanks for the clarification. I realized now that I never actually went with a 'stock' theme for CM7, I always put an ICS theme on there and that was the dialer I didn't like. Loved everything else about the theme except that.

Maybe I'll stick with one of the stock themes for the time being and see how it goes. Thanks fellas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
I had a problem once where I was getting terrible reception with ANY modem. I sat down, and literally tried EVERY modem, and the reception was terrible. As soon as I flashed to CM9, everything was fine. Turned out to be a bad download. So tried downloading it again, do a complete wipe, and try it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
By reception, do you mean the signal bars? Or receiving/sending calls/texts?

Stock TW uses lower thresholds for the signal bars (At least lower than ICS, probably GB too).

The Epic CM9 builds restored the stock signal bar behavior, CM7 doesn't though.

Note: Applying this to CM7 wont actually affect anything, other than the bars displayed, so I wont apply it to CM7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I flashed this last night to check out the CM7 updates, and as far as I can tell, the white balance on video is still borked. If you're not actually recording, it works fine, but once you're actually recording a video, it's locked to where it was when you started the recording.

I was also struggling to pick up a GPS lock as well. I didn't give it too much time though after I realized the video was still messed, so I may have not given it's due time with the GPS and other things. I'm back on People's ROM :/

EDIT: I did clear data on the camera app even though I came from a clean install. I tried the video recording before I even brought any apps back via TB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
finally came back to CM7 after being on CM9 for a while.... missed the smooth

There's a stock ICS clone launcher for gingerbread now right here on XDA somewhere. Take that, the cm7 ICS theme, a stock ICS wallpaper, widgetlocker ICS lockscreen, and the backported ICS transition/rotations now in cm7 and I'd say your pretty set.

having trouble finding it on the market. doing a minimalist theme right now anyway
[Epic 4G Android Development] sureshot007:
I mean the ability to make/receive a call or email.
[Epic 4G Android Development] I Brick Phones:
Did a search and couldn't find an answer...

I don't seem to be able to adjust the in-call volume. the slider moves but the volume isn't actually going up or down.

is this a known issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
No that's not a known problem... I recomment going back to fully stock and reflashing the rom... bad download or bad flash...
[Epic 4G Android Development] debinnv:
Actually I was having the same problem and no it is not a known problem to custom roms, but it is known to the phone in general apparently. Or some of them at least. I copied and pasted part of an article I found. It did resolve it for me.

Posted article below::

In-Call volume on Epic after Gingerbread update

We have received reports of this, one of our retail technicians posted a work around. It appears that there may be an issue with adjusting the volume level with the proximity sensor engaged, so try pulling the phone away from your ear for a few seconds until it's disengaged then turning the volume all the way up and then back down.

According to some of the reports it appears the volume gets stuck at a high level even if it's showing being set to low. Let me know if this worked

for you please.

It took three tries but it finally took. I don't think we were holding away long enough to disengage the proximity sensor. The first try actually reversed the function of the volume button. Before trying Shane_M 's fix the volume button did nothing, after the first attempt when

it said it was on low it was very loud when it said it was on high, it was very soft.

The second attempt did nothing. On our third and final attempt we dialed the number holding the phone away from anything that could engage the proximity sensor then turned the volume all the way up and then all the way down. That did the trick
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
Still having issues with not having signal in places I did before, but I think stock was just more patient with it. Not to worried about it though.

However... It seems like my data has been dropping completely (full bars cannot access data at all) unless I restart the phone. Is there a way to do a log dump or something to see what is causing that? Currently using CM7 R2. It was doing it also on R1 but not as much. Recently switched to FC09 but it did it once or twice on the previous modem.

Any Suggestions?

(Not sure if its a coincidence but this seems to happen after I leave my house and it jumps off of WiFi and the Airrave... Ill get to work and later that night no data...)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Anybody elses wifi won't stay connected? It keeps connecting and going back to obtaining IP address? Running the rc2 on my epic for my mom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Try setting up a static ip for her... that should help...
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
Just went back to CM7 but still on RC1. Not feeling confident about RC2 after reading a few recent posts. It seem a little buggy. Are you guys getting good results from it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] G.I.Geoff:
This isn't a complaint (since I don't use this feature it's more of an observation) but the lock screen music controls for the music player that comes with cm7 do not work any more. A new annoying nuance of the update is that unplugging my headphones doesn't stop music on stock music player. there is one particular setting in mobile networks that doesn't stick after boot, but overall I am pleased with this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Now if I knew how to setup static IP.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
YouTube is your friend ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Go into wifi settings... hit menu, advanced settings, set static ip... for info on how to actually set it up... GIYF mr nexus! Lol ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Figures :rolleyes:

Can't catch a break :p

Edit: was the router nvm.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Did you forget the basics after leaving the epic! Lol :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Nah... because my Gnex was connecting fine.. but then realized that i was disconnecting as well. So i switched it to connect to my living rooms router... and it works fine now.... stupid router i cant seem to figure out why its messing up still. I haven't reset it to factory yet i might try that later. Ugh technology... always destine to fail at some point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
Any recommendation for a data connection that just quits until a restart? Happens about once a day and I usually have full bars.

FC09 Modem CM 7 RC2
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i've had that a couple of times but i toggled airplane mode to fix.

Does anyone have the car dock that can check streaming services like pandora and slacker and google music? i have sound issues with those coming out of the dock.. not sure if its cm7 or the galaxy redirector program that's causeing the problem. don't have music on my phone to check non streaming content
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkZrobe:
I have tried that a few times and that doesnt seem to fix it. I have to reboot the phone. I had this problem once on stock a while back (2.2 maybe? Dont remember).
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
did you do a clean install? most i'm getting is 2 and half hours of screen time on ics.. would love to jump on the newest considering its backported some ics goodies but i've read more problems than comments on rc2..

i guess only one way to know ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
ok so i played pandora and slacker without the dock (and dock redirector) and i'm still getting the stuttering/skipping during playback. is no one else having this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lmsomb:
I have and not only in cm7 but cm9 aswell
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
i was ok in CM9... this is frustrating
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
I dunno if its the same issue. But sometimes when my phone has been on for a long time with no reboot and I go to do pandora to my bluetooth headphones, I have a studdering issue when the phone is sleeping. A reboot fixes it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Just another question

Would all flashable zips for the old cm7 nightlies work for this? For example the kernels and the odex thingy? And the tw task manager?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
yes like for instance the TW task manager as you mention i use that too it works and kernel if they supported nightly 45 like Samurai Tanto it will work. odex? not sure don't know about it
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
So .... this is technically the latest and greatest version of CM7 for our OG EPIC4G ???
