Coming soon in CM9 alpha3 for Epic Touch

This page shall be updated periodically as things are fixed, features are added, etc. Please, check back accordingly.

News

It's been a week now, since alpha2 was been released. That doesn't mean development has hit a standstill now. Nope: we at the Epic Touch CM Team have been working diligently at fixing bugs, and improving functionalities, and more. From alpha2, much work has been done, that we can warrant a "coming soon" blog post ;). Even still, more work needs to be done, and we want to look to the users, to see what the most concerning bugs from alpha2 are that you want to see fixed. More information on how you can contact us for that will be given later.

Along with bug squashing and features being added, there's still the matter with the kernel. You're probably how much we've progressed on it. Well, to say something, we've been looking at and working with the code. We still need more help to get it working; either that or we'll have to wait for kernel sources by Samsung, and their imminent release, which shouldn't be too far in the future :)

Changelog - Fixed for CM9 alpha3

More roaming options. These options home, international, national roaming, or none.

Kernel has been updated to FD02. Along with that, we've changed the adb binary to work accordingly with CyanogenMod's root implementation, and so that adb isn't started as root at boot.

Quicker location triangulation by the GPS. With help from the newer leaks, we've been able to update the proprietaries to give us more efficient and reliable GPS.

Phantom voicemail fixed. And that means without any additional apk to push. With alpha2, i was a bit complacent, and forgot to compile our Phone.apk with the flag to enable the option to get rid of that pesky phantom voicemail. With alpha3, you can be sure to see that fixed.

Settable CPU frequencies. That option that used to be greyed out in performance settings, now it can be adjusted. There's no overclock or anything of that nature, yet; we need kernel sources for that.

Improved battery life. We've been working on tweaks to the framworks xml files to optimize our builds especially for Epic 4G Touch, and we've been returning results with much better battery life. Darchstar reported that he got around 20 hours of battery life with moderately heavy usage.

Along with all these updates concerning only Epic 4G Touch, there have also been updates in upstream CyanogenMod that you can hope to see in the future, e.g. pinch to zoom in the camera app.

Now we want to direct our focus to our users... that's you! We find your input truly invaluable to the development of our ROMs. So, with that, we ask: what bugs do you really want to see fixed, moving into alpha3? Any requests? Feel Free to join us at our IRC Channel to talk about it, or comment on our Google+ or Facebook
