i didn't have an Epic for over a year i believe, but i have my uncle's now, so i am trying to set him up with CM7.2 stable. i flashed the Shadow kernel 0.9.1 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379841&highlight=shadow+kernel

seems to work ok. reception and download speeds have been low, but i thought that would be more of a modem issue or whatever. right now i am just trying the ROM with stock 7.2 kernel to see how it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Stock kernel is your best option with the stable release IMO.

im using MIUI camera...it works flawless on cm7.2 stable...vedio has perfect auto exposure, and HD mode does not skiip.....question, when i stream audio thru bluetotth it skip like crazy....hell. even playing audio thru android native player audio randomly skips....any fixeS?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
Ok cool thanks, I appreciate the info. Would that be good for battery life as well?

And if I could ask, how do you think the signal reception is on CM on the Epic? I tested stock FC09, and it seemed like signal was stronger, i.e. downloads from the market were a good amount faster. On CM7, even downloading a 2 MB app seems to take a long time. And I used to have an Epic, before it had good CM builds, and I never noticed slow download speeds. What are your thoughts if I may ask? I certainly could be wrong, and maybe it's better on the stock kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshdv:
The ROM doesn't include a radio/modem. If the download performances are different, you're probably just experiencing different signals on different days.

Personally I've been using FC19 modem and find the performance to be better than the other modems available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
anyone? i think it has to do with the way cm7 implements bluetooth stack with the humming bird processor....it just doesnt work, and never has....mtorola devices are also facing this issue....it seems cm7 doesnt play nice with the hummingbird processor....as far as audio/vedio/web surfing....its almost like CM7 is geared toward HTC chipsets only....

can we incoporate bluetooth APK's off TW rom to cm7?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tortel1210:
Yeah, sorry about that. I pushed the final updates, and had the 7.2 build made, but havent gotten around to updating it here. Busy times :(

7.2.0 will most likely be the last build done by me, as I have a Galaxy S3 now, and cant easily test on the Epic anymore (Still2 in my house, but they are on stock). The last bug I am aware of is that 3g doesnt reconnect properly sometimes after switching off wifi, but an airplane mode toggle fixes that.

Check the CM7 Status Page on the CM Blog for downloads, and have fun :)

(Note: Cap light timeout is kinda dead. I gave up on getting that merged. It needs a framework mod, and apparently you cant overlay Java files. Check this commit to see what file needs to be changed if you are going to do your own builds.)

[Epic 4G Android Development] sendmespammails:
Sad you're done with cm7 and moving on but thank you for keeping cm7 updated even though most of the people moved on to cm9.

Hopefully someone else will pick cm7 up and fix few minor bugs left and finally complete cm7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
feels like windows mobile 6 all over again......dam
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
I stand corrected. I did not realize they "re-released" CM7 Stable for the Epic 4G and the video recording is in fact fixed. I personally do not know of any other existing bugs, so it seems this one is in fact stable.

Thank you EpicCM team and all contributors. Despite me having moved on to the Galaxy Nexus, it is no less appreciated that you guys stuck it out with CM7 till everything was made functional and stable. It shows a lot about your teams dedication to the community that supported you guys all through development and dedication to your projects.
[Epic 4G Android Development] notsosmrtgeek:
The last time I. Used cm7 I had a bad echo. While I was talking on the phone. I will have to give the last release a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Echo was fixed awhile ago. I suffered from it bad as well.

[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
may have to give this a shot again as CM9 has been feeling a little sluggish lately..
[Epic 4G Android Development] notsosmrtgeek:
I flashed it last night... I tell you I forgot how smooth this is. And. How long the battery last. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
Well I wanted to try CM7 again since I love the smoothness and battery life but for the life of me I can't remember what the deal is with voicemail and how to get it to work. I tried searching this thread and didn't find anything useful. I know I'm being ignorant and can't find the info and deserve to be flamed so...Flame on...but with the answer please.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
just flash the one provided by aokp?
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
I didn't know it would work since aokp and cm9 is ICS
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
Guys so the stable release on the get.cm7 page is different than the one on the "cyanogenmod.com" website ??? if so can anyone be kind enought to provide any details on the differences please?...from what i understand the one on get.cm7 is the latest stable correct?

thanks in advanced, I would really appreciate it
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Yes op is up to date
[Epic 4G Android Development] jworkcoo:
I came back to this Rom from AOKP and I was using the navigation so I disabled the soft keys. Is there a way to enable them back to how they were? Please help! Thanks!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] razorlove:
This is really cool of u to say that, Zeinzu deserves thanks for this. Also, if any of the EpicCM team reads this I hope you guys now how appreciated ur work is. This is a great community and the fact that u guys kept pushing to make a release that's pretty much perfect deserves high praise. I purchased this phone on launch day and joined XDA just a lil bit later and my experience with ALL the devs here and the wonderful community has made me so thankful that I got this phone.

Cheers.

yes in essence it is a public forum but unless you are a developer we are guests here. This forum is designated specifically for them to enable their work which they do during their busy lives in their spare time with no pay. There are plenty of user forums for all kinds of issues. In this forum, I respect the boundaries they have set. They do great work, yes? Everyone says so. I for one want only to assist in any way I can. No off topic posts and occasional donations. My phone, which should be obsolete, continues to be magical. Sorry for the rant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Dang it, the only issue I had with CM7 still persists. The camcorder won't auto adjust to changes in light. I'm no photog, so I don't know the lingo, but it doesn't work. I tried it with Camera FX Pro as well, and it's still busted. I know this wasn't an issue with the stock camera and Camera FX Pro on CM9.

Is there anyone who knows how this might be able to get fixed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
like you just said use stock camera, does the CM team even know that its not working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mmisko:
I upgraded from nightly 45 without an issue. As mentioned, probably wouldn't be bad to start clean though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:


I'm not disagreeing with anything that you're saying, I'm only stating that, in a cm7 thread, it shouldn't be an issue to post the availability, location, and users' particular experiences with custom cm7 kernels. So far I've only seen the devs ask that we not post kernel related bugs in this forum, I've seen nothing stated that we can't acknowledge their existence or that we can't post in here if we use them. I don't want to start an argument on this subject and I don't want to cause an off-topic discussion about it, but I also don't want to see people being told to shush every time they mention 3rd party modifications. I'm pretty sure this forum's intent is to help users get the most out of their phones and it's software. Thank you got posting your opinion on the matter though, you make some valid points, I hope you also take the time to consider mine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
Any comments on audio? Are the levels louder like TW roms, or just "better quality"?

I'm super happy to see CM7 development continuing. Like marcusant said, CM7 seems smoother and "made for the epic." I anticipate future CM9 builds to smooth things out but for right now I'm a CM7 fan.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
Nvm since my deep sleep issue may be kernel related I won't mention it here. But to contribute to the conversation of mentioning kernels in threads, I have nothing against the kernels of the cm devs or any devs for that matter, but after the incorporation of voodoo color I can't turn back :D. That's why I loved Apro's kernel's because he tried to stay as close to stock cm9 as possible. So maybe,... if they just made a voodoo color version? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Reflash the kernel... and dont use the samurai gov.. :) you should be fine after that. Least i was... 1 day on battery at 5 hours of display 2 straight hours of HBO go.. (westbound and down is hilarious) and its at 15% :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Has anyone noticed a decrease in their speeds? I came from CM9 B0 so there are a few variables in play here. I noticed my 3G speeds are about the same (not great) but 4G is what is really getting to me. I used to be able to get 500-700kB/s without question, but now, it's somewhere in the realm of 50-100kB/s.

Same modem as before (EL30), so that's no different. However, I am in the Chicago area, and I know Sprint is actively rolling out Network Vision in this area, so that may have something to do with it as well.

For anyone not in this area, have you noticed any decrease in speeds after switching to CM7? For anyone in this area, have you noticed a decrease in speeds without changing anything?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Okay so here she is my battery stats. :)

I watched 3 episodes of westbound and down... so 1 and half on hbo scanned xda pandora for 45mins or so. Uv a ton i/o noop and gov is intellidemand.

3500 mah battery

At 2% posting this :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
its funny because mine same battery i turned it on at 100% watched netflix whole time till it died only lasted as long as your screen on time which is 5Hrs 30mins? strange how that works, but of course phone never went into deep sleep and was awake whole time lol battery died around 6 hours
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
I'll go for it n see what happens!

Also, what app would be best for checking deep sleep status? I have control freak since I flashed kernel but dunno if that's accurate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
cpu spy is the best apps to see how long each frequency has been on and tells you which are being used i.e deep sleep

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Thanks for this - you have perfectly illustrated the problem. Too many people are thrilled by any perceived loophole that, in their minds, justifies blatantly ignoring the guidelines.

See what it progressed into? A discussion about battery life - even Big Goron, usually a rule-following member of the forum, joined in.

Most, if not all, of us grasp the spirit of the rule, even if the wording is imperfect. Yet, instead of going along with the obvious intent, many prefer to pick the wording apart in the search for any justification to blatantly disregard that intent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
Huh? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fire n mage:
I just wanted some help dude XD are you implying that I should've created a completely different thread asking for something using THIS rom and the same kernel as me to solve my problem, granted if I actually "followed the rules" and posted in the Q&A forum I probably would've never gotten an answer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
:D Working Great on my Finicky phone so far :D

​
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
You started your post with, "my problem doesn't belong here because I'm using a custom kernel" (I paraphrased) - if that's the case, then why post it here at all?

Then, you explicitly stated that you intended to

- the only contribution needed for that conversation is summed up in the following quote: "..." in other words, nothing. You basically wasted space to say, "Hey guys, I have something relevant to a different thread, which belongs in that different thread, so naturally I have decided to announce it in this thread where it explicitly does not belong"

So, no, I am not implying that you start another thread. In fact, I'm directly stating that you should not have even created a new post within this existing thread. I'll never understand how you not only got the wrong idea (I say "don't post" and you hear "post more") - but you magnified it to monumental proportions by assuming you should create an entire thread.

With your comprehension and logic, if I had suggested that you move one foot to the left, you would have promptly moved 10 miles to the right and thought yourself to be in full compliance with my suggestion - that's what you did here, when you somehow thought I was suggesting that you make a new thread.

Does anyone else see where he went wrong?

Not sure if this is exactly the right place to ask this, but I'm looking for a battery percentage mod and am having trouble finding one in the themes section. Does it have to be for this exact rom or do other ones work for it too?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
This rom has a built-in percentage option, no need for a mod...

Look under Settings->Cyanogenmod Settings->Interface->Staus bar tweaks->Battery Status Style. The options are the normal battery, percentage, and none.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
I was trying to send a 2 page text and it converted to MMS and would not send. I know MMS is unreliable but is there any solutions to this? I couldn't find anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I've been told that that is the new default behavior instead of sms split. Unfortunately, the ability to change that behavior under settings has also been removed, so the only work-around with the stock app is to do it manually - remove characters until it reverts to sms, send, and keep typing.

I'd kinda like to see a return of the options - I preferred to have it convert to mms after two or three sms messages instead of immediately after one. Maybe I'll finally find time to try my hand at compiling, so I can add it back in... but that's what I said about the Nexus modem mod, and I waited too long :) lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtjoker42:
you could also dig up an older mms.apk and replace it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Probably a good point - I suppose that that setting probably is entirely contained within the app, rather than relying on other parts of the system... now we just need to find the version of the rom that had that particular mms.apk (I can't remember which version - going to search later, unless someone with a better memory and/or more free time wants to save the rest of us the trouble, lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
That is what I thought was happening and I did shorten my text to 1 page and sent then typed more.

Thanks for your response
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
well, i had asked about bluetooth audio skipping, no one seemed to respond....

after a whole lot of trial and error, i found a solution for anyone wondering....simple..in cm7 settings, i set heap size to 48, I set max mhz to 1200, and the key thing is setting the GOV to performance.....only way to get smooth playback of bluetooth audio....only way to get smooth playback of anything as a matter of fact....yes your battery will hate you for doing this, but its not as bad as i though....and i now get smooth playback of any media, as well as smooth bluetooth audio no skipping....note: by setting your GOV in performance the ecu will run at max speed at all times
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzl:
if the quality of A2DP was actually decent, I would probably use it. What do you use as the receiver?
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
im using a cheap ebay bluetooth to aux transmitter for my car....it works flawleesly....sounds quality is phenominal....the most impressive part is it does not whatsoever cut off high frequencies or low frequnecies in the audio, nor does it distort the audio how i though it would being a cheap brandless device...its also grounded correctly so i can charge it while streaming music to the car without any static of "ground hum"....I basically retro fitted bluetooth connectivity into my car...the device is hiden in my car so you cant even see it....sounds quality is excellent, hard to believe anything better exist...I'm a sound tech and am very picky about sound...all for 24$ on ebay

the thing driving me crazy was that every dam BT device i paired with my epic would skip like a mother****er....then i noticed it was a global problem on the phone, not just bluetooth....the "interactive" governer was not allowing for smooth playback....i set it to "performance" and problem gone....i guess this phone has to be cloacked at 100% all the time for it to function properly, as far as media playback...unlike my evo shift 4g...man i miss that phone....dam asurion convinced me to go over to samsung...now im stuck with it
[Epic 4G Android Development] stevie13.xo:
I wouldn't run performance.. maybe just raise the minimum freq. to 200 MHz and then if it still isn't smooth try the minimum up to 400 MHz
[Epic 4G Android Development] savir90:
you where right, I put in ONDEMAND, set min to 100...it would comence stutering....i put it to 200mhz, almost all stutering went away....300mhz playsback like if it was on 1200mhz, not one skip or stutter....i guys i underestimated Le hummingbird...

so for anyone getting bluetooth audio skip, 300mhz seems to fix everything with minimal battery drain i guess

Request fix - Please

I know cm7 is an old build and the team has moved on. But could someone please make the shutter sound work. I have literally flashed every ROM for this phone and I like the cm7 the most it's just that I need a working shutter sound.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zagnutty:
Going to flash my epic to cm7 and some questions.

1. Is 20110828 the gapps version I should use?

2. Can I remove certain things from the gapps zip, like google talk, and repack the zip for install? Or should I remove them after the gapp installs completely?

3. With someone posting above that the camera is still wonky, how would I install the camera apks from fc09 that someone posted on page 54? Would I uninstall the cm7 camera through TiBu or NoBloat and then install fc09 apks using cwm?

Help me out here please. I'd be very grateful.

Sent from a rooted candy bar
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
1. Yes

2. Yes, but just to be on the safe side I'd remove the gapps after the installation.

3. I don't know about this, but I think the FC09 Touchwiz camera is tied to the TW framework. So it might not be good to try to install it. If I remember correctly when I was running CM7, the camera, both camera and video, worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zagnutty:
Thanks Terence.

I'll remove them after install in case there's some sort of database connection with the installers that might be broken if I remove them, repack and then install.

I'm confused about the cam. Back on p54, the cam apks are from fc09, which I was under the assumption is tied to GB, not TW. I'll try this cam first, but cam working properly is a must for me. I want to stay on a GB based rom and really want to go with cm7 after all I've read, and been told.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
Get your CM7 all set up without adding the camera mod, then make a backup. Add the camera mod and see if it works properly or not. If it doesn't work, restore your unmodded backup and look for different camera apps in the store. Just be sure to test both modded and unmodded versions.

Or, you can come up to JB ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zagnutty:
Yes, i'm going to try camera that comes with this cm7 first.

I would like to come to jb. I have it on this, my tablet, but i want fast, stable, and battery life. Battery is most important to me. Gettimg ready to flash now. I have to copy and switch some sd's around first.

With a OEM SGII battery, I pull well over 19 hours on my Epic; I average 1.5 hours of screen time, 1 hour with GPS, 7 hours on wifi-only (during the work-week, no cell signal in my building), FB is uninstalled, Talk/Hangouts is signed out, but I email/message/Google Voice like crazy on 10.1.

I'd be happy to give you any information about my setup, just shoot a PM so I'm sure to see it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
From my experience, JB offers all the perks of GB with the updated platform and features of JB. It really all depends on how you use your system. For me, I can easily pull at least a full 24 hours or more with Helly Bean. But then again all I do is browse Twitter, Instagram, Facebook (Mobile site, not app), and text. Your mileage may vary, but it's definitely worth checking out. I think the longest I've gone with JB on a single charge was two full days and some hours. But again, it all depends on how you use your phone.

HALP!

**EDITED**

Not sure what I did, but I bricked it for a while there. Battery charge icon when off wasn't moving, phone wouldn't boot, wouldn't connect to computer, etc. Thankfully I remembered I had made a nand backup. Popped in the sd card, booted into cwm, and crossed my fingers while it said it was loading the backup. It worked, so I re-wiped 3 times...again...and tried flashing cm7...again. Only this time it worked. Had a brief scare but all turned out well.

CM7 is looking mighty fine! Wish it wasn't so late, because now I have to wait until tomorrow to play with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zagnutty:
Wanted to say thanks to all the devs that worked on this. For the first time since i got this phone, i woke up and didnt have to take the battery out because it was froze up. So thank you all for saving my phone! Going to start customizing it in a little bit once i've had my morning coffee.

**EDIT**

Camera auto exposure adjustment is still broken though. When transitioning from something bright to dim, and vice versa, exposure does not adjust.
