here is the no voodoo kernel

https://www.dropbox.com/s/aloqba846oy386d/nyan_di2X_noVuDu.zip

first I try disable voodoo colour on config, but it's not enough.. still seen the green tint >.< after revert all the voodoo colour stuff from the nyan source to stock cm9, then it works correctly

OP, get the title updated already... :)

DISCLAIMER: even more than normal, this can really mess you up if you don't know what you are doing

Recovery will not work properly

You need to know how to heimdall/odin CM9 boot.img to get back into recovery

Superuser will not work (fix it by flashing CM9 kernel and adb push su from CM9 into /system/xbin/)

I guarantee lots of brokenness, but guarantee no fixes

Im getting stuck in the usual samsung screen. No download mode!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Are you sure something odd didn't happen during install. I knew this could be a rough install and recovery, but not this rough. From what I understand, this should touch bootloader. I would try unplugging, remove battery for a few hours. Then, try download mode again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
This method has saved me before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Try to get into download mode without the battery and only the charger plugged in. I believe that kept me out of the hard brick category once.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicnoob66:
I'm not sure what happened. After leaving it sit for a few hours, I was able to get into download and push the stock tar. sorry, just this has never happened and I may have gotten a little excited.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Never panic... these phones can tqke a punishment... I've seen wrong roms and kernels get odined to this phone and it still kicks back to download mode....

Thought I hard bricked my girls epic once. Couldn't get dl mode at all. But I noticed when id plug it in to the wall the battery image would come on for a few. What I finally did to get into dl mode is take the battery n sd out, unplug it, hold 1 and power, and plug the usb in while holding the 1 and power button combo and that finally did it for me. Its damn near impossible to brick this phone!

any new cm7 builds?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zacnking:
Any news on CM10? What does or doesn't work and any zips that are flashable for it? I love me some KANG CM madness for my epic great work all you devs!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
I have a build up on the previous page, but have odin/heimdall on standby with CM9 kernel, as recovery is unusable. There have been many fixes since then, including root access, wifi, and (maybe) camera. If I can figure out my home network (hopefully without a full reset) I might post another zip.

Been looking all over, and hopefully I did not miss it...I would hate to be "one of those people"! Has there been a CM9 Kang with the ability to use the Nexus modem? I have seen the CM7 thread and I am pretty sure there was a CM10 Kang, but I have not seen one for CM9. Sorry if I missed it...I am in a crappy service area and am really curious if it will make as big a difference in reception as it has do others!
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
There isn't one yet (unless it *just* came out, lol). It sounds like xboxfanj has a lot of projects on his list right now (sense 3.5 and a few others), and the new school semester has slowed development a bit, so no guesses on when he might get to CM9...

But I can vouch for the CM7 build - he also merged the Nexus GPS components, so even that connects faster :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamdelozier:
Thanks Styles...I may have to check out the CM7 build just for fun, I am really liking CM9 right now and just waiting for the official drop of CM10.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Going back to CM7 for a bit is worth getting the Nexus modem sooner :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] vwags:
I too am running the Nexus Modem on CM7 and was able to keep a phone call where before it would consistantly drop. Blew my mind.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Its a shame it took this long lol, but I'm glad I could help make it work for you now.

No links for cm7? Or is that still WIP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
There is actually a CM7-RC3 build up today. No sense building clean and there isn't anything totally awesome to cherry pick IMO. Here is the link... http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=epicmtd

BTW... I uploaded another CM9 build. I cherry-picked the Lock Screen Weather from gerrit. It seems to use Yahoo Weather and requires that network location be turned on, but it works. The option to turn off CRT animation is there now too (like anyone would want to do that, LOL). The cherry pick for CWM repeatable keys is a bit hard to control IMO, so I may remove that from the next build.

Don't thank me, thank the CM team and the epicCM team. I just made an unofficial build, they did the real work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epicnoob66:
Newest build is running great in case anyone wondered
[Epic 4G Android Development] know.patience:
newest rom is pretty sweet, it's got apollo in there too. it's been a while since i've played with that app and it's come a long way. hopefully google will release the api for play music and we'll see some integration with app.

everything else seems to be running pretty well, i haven't really fiddled with any of the newer features like weather on the lockscreen so we'll see how it goes over the next few days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
This is awesome.

Thank you for setting this up.

EDIT: Wow. CWM scrolling sucks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
CWM scrolling is too hard to control IMO. I wonder if it can be slowed down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
If you guys happen to be using shadow kernel, bbelos posted that when you reboot to recovery it scrolls out of control sometimes, but using 3 finger boot remedies the problem. idk if thats the issue youre having or if its something new with the build, but yeah, i experienced the out of control scrolling in cwm with shadow kernel. just pulled the battery and 3 fingered it and it worked fine.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

been downloading lates kang for almost 30 minutes now and only at 109 mb...

meanwhile i downloaded newest miui and joyos, so i know its not on my end. there a problem with your server or something? it would also be a shame to put that much in for a download only for it to go bad n fail in cwm... or worse. :/

edit: nvm, let it finish n then tried again just to check and its workin fine now. less than one minute to dl. not bad compared to the ~30 minutes before, lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
Not a lot of action going on in this thread. Too bad really, my fiance has been using the newer kang with the cherry picks for a few days now and loves it. I'm not sure what all was merged by the time that build was released, but both of us were having problems with full reboots whenever using any apps connected to the internet, (chrome, xda, facebook, to name a few) and the reboots seem to be gone. The build is just as stable as the officials (more so for now it seems) and I'm glad for this thread as I am a flashaholic and very impatient when it comes to waiting for updates, haha. I hope it stays active and that the OP continue to link his kangs and I hope others add their builds to it as well. There are quite a few ics and cm9 based builds out there that the epic doesn't have. Like I said in an earlier post, I would love to see ROMs such as codename: android, slim ics, aokpcb (I think that's right, its team broccoli's build of aokp) and I'm sure there's others I'm unaware of.

So yeah, please keep em comin OP.

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
There have been some decent merges over the past few days. I will look at putting a build up tonight/middle of the night. There are some ripe cherries on the tree. :D

Can't give an exact time, but as soon as the build finishes it will upload automatically. Hopefully we will all wake up to some bacon.

CM9 beta4-pre3

You folks should know that Team Epic posts public builds often when we feel there are changes worthwhile of an upgrade. These are not automatic nightly builds, but rather builds where we have done testing to be sure it is at least no worse than the previous build.

Follow us on Google+ or Facebook (links below), or read the CM9 beta4 progress report on our blog.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I would definitely hope they know that Warren. CM9 team is awesome for rigorous testing you guys go through when installing changes and for deciding when there are enough changes to warrant a release. For this we thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
cool, something to tide me over til tomorrow. :)

im pretty sure everyone that posts on this thread stays at least somewhat up to date as to what epicmtd team is up to, i check the blog at least every other day for updates, but i didnt see this up yesterday when i was checking to see if there were any updates on the kernel merge, so thanks for the heads up!

[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
LOL... yeah, I made it on some site somewhere... can't remember. I guess it looks like me a bit. I never beat up on the 7th graders though. :D

Regarding today's build... (which is currently tardy :confused:)... I only wish I had cherry-picked the font alignment patch for the lockscreen weather. I forgot that one. :(

I may have to build again tonight. LMAO!!! Sometimes I can't decide if I am a build-a-holic or a flash-a-holic. A couple months ago I was build nightly for 3 different phones. Now I am only building every 3-4 days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:

and 7th grade for me was lets see... 22 years ago? give or take a year. and the kid who fought me was like at best forest gump smart, so i doubt he was capable of building kangs of anything except maybe...mudpies?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
Would it be evil of me to make another build tonight? The bacon is in the pan and I threw in a handful of cherries. I will let you know when breakfast is ready. :D

Lock Screen Calendar is now merged. I cherry-picked a patch for text alignment though.

DeskClock app has a couple of cherry-picks. I am curious to see what the analog DeskClock Widget looks like, so that will be in there.

Camera cherry-pick should be interesting, hmm... hmmm... something about knobs.

Anyhow... this is the list of cherries. Gerrit links included. (stating the obvious)

[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Be careful about using builds from people who don't know what they are doing. One or more of these patches the Epic team is avoiding for a good reason. If you want newer builds of CM9 for Epic, follow the Google+ page. Those builds are done by the actual authors of the code and are not released without some testing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Dude not to be disrespectful but get off it already! I understand you are trying to help people out and don't want them to mess up their phones, but it clearly states that most of these kangs will be untested code and not supported... the op has already given all the warnings necessary... no need for you to do it every 3 pages or so... anybody using these kangs has most likely tried the official and know where to find the official if they want it... Again, no disrespect, I love your work and am very grateful for everything you've done for the epic, just think its kinda redundant for you to post "warnings" when the op already has all the warnings everybody needs... and it seems he knows enough, cuz his builds have all ran just fine....
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
How'd you get the soft keys? I went into my framework-res to turn it on, but that gets me just the 3 standard buttons.

I think the warning more has to do with Epic CM and CM in general wanting to distance themselves from this when a piece of code that bricks is placed in one of these making many sadfaced pandas. The general consensus is that epic owners are flash happy thanks to our almost indestructible phones, making us a somewhat complacent lot.

I can't just abandon my favorite forum. :) I pop in every once in a while to see whats up. Besides I maintain the samurai kernel thread with any issues that get reported or tips/ suggestions. Also ask for some feedback.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Yes, because all users in this forum are notorious for reading before flashing...
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
With that point, if you think they are not going to read the OP then they certainly are not going to read Warren's posts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] murso74:
I did the math on that when he posted... id have been starting 33rd grade in the fall
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
7th grade for me was 1987.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Haha - you are an old man. I know this because, 7th grade for me was 1987, too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
A very valid point, but Warren's diligent warnings increase the odds that those users might accidentally read at least one of his posts, despite themselves ;)

I can see both sides of this issue, which is my point - both sides -do- have merit... perhaps a compromise can be reached? Although I will agree that if it has to be one way or the other, I'm slightly more in favor of the Darwinist approach... slightly... How does the OP feel about the warnings?

A funny quote from somewhere on Facebook: "I'm not saying we should start killing all of the stupid people... I'm just saying, let's remove the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out" ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:

i think it was 90-91 for me. i usually figure time in my life by when my air force family made a major move. i lived at england afb in louisiana from 3rd to 5th grade, then we moved to DC summer of 89...i think...im pretty sure, well, maybe, yeah i know it, i smoked waaaaaaay too much weed as a youngin!

on topic, im running the *first* 5-31 build since last night after work, and its running smooth. despite warrens generous warnings, ive found these kang builds to actually run better than the official builds. no random reboots, no issues with custom kernels, no freezes. they work fine. its probably just a placebo effect, or just my deep seeded need to champion the underdog, but hey, thats how i feel. glad cm9 team is around tho, or else we wouldnt even have this.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

great quote, haha!

i dont know what the cm teams feelings on kangs being made available are. they do come off like they hate any alternate versions of their rom but i seriously doubt thats the actual case. it wouldnt matter if they did have a problem with it tho, cuz these types of things will always be around. the only thing i dont understand is why they say or imply things like, you shouldnt use unofficial versions of cm, you shouldnt flash custom kernels, you shouldnt modify the software in any way, when in fact, thats what cm is, an alternate version of android, with a custom kernel and MANY modifications (mostly AWESOME i might add!) its not recommended by samsung or sprint that we root our phones, flash any custom rom, kernel, or modifications. so if we were to follow that wisdom, we wouldnt be trying out cyanogenmod in the first place, no would we? im just ranting, thinking to myself and typing at the same time really. i dont mean any disrespect to anyone. the cm devs are talented and push out great software, and people are always gonna want to add to that. i think its time for people to start accepting the things they cant change. they should embrace it, but if they cant or wont, then at least ignore it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
It's not that they hate people who kang CM, they just dislike people who do it poorly and users who aren't familiar with the devs who post bad CM kangs will blame CM team

....is what I said. Just pointing out how it comes off to a lot of ppl. Tho I doubt they care. I understand why its being done as much as I understand that it needn't.

Anyways, this build is running great. It hurts me tho to see the navbar options and not being able to use it. I use the navbar on aokp, not so much for nav, but more as a small dock. I have my nova dock hidden by default but can quickly pull it up by a short upward swipe (nova gets better every day!). It works great as an overlay when used in this manner. I wish I could see the some of the options from this on aokp or vice versa. I guess aokp will eventually be getting these options, I just wish I was more patient.

To the OP, there are many members the Epic community that are here with their first device. This community also seemed to be the sucker hole for moderators, kenny is probably the 5th-6th mod for this forum. That has caused gaps where there was no moderation and the community started to fall apart until a new mod was appointed. Don't get frustrated, it was like moving to a new world when I moved from the Epic to the Nexus.
