Exactly!!! We are lucky we even have some unofficial builds. I remember back before cyanogenmod picked up the epic and all the hard work of afroninja, xboxfanj, marcusant along with the epic community we finally got picked up. So yeah way to go guys! Kang or no kang we have come a long way
[Epic 4G Android Development] Soldier_Rocks_08:
So I download gapps and the new one as of 7/28/12 right
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Y people no understand that nobody you listed had anything to do with cm becoming official?
[Epic 4G Android Development] milky1112:
I'm thankful for what we have and by the hard work of those who keep this phone alive. Kang or official. Better then where this old phone would have been forgotten. (Even still she has potiential) I said thanks to you guys before, and yet again. Ya'll rock!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Absolutely nothing, lol. At all. And who the hell is Afroninja?

Decad3nce, UberPinguin, Warren, Wispoffates, Dameon, noobnl, Tortel, mkasick, nubecoder, Rodderik, bbelos, DRockstar, darkcube. The list is a whole lot longer than just this.

Ninja samurai Kung fu all the same difference right? Lol no disrespect mad props to you great devs thanks for all y'all do
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobvark:
Installed the rom, and the gapps (tried both goo.im for cm10 and the one linked on the first page). Flashed a total of 5 times in sets of two as some other posted recommended. Still too slow, usually starts off ok, but then gets bogged down. But it did work really well without the gapps. Can't wait for it to be official.

For all of you people hacking away at builds and trying to forward port stuff. Found a way to edit framework-res.apk if you are bringing it from another device...

Get apktool 1.4.9 (google it)

java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk

java -jar apktool.jar if SystemUI.apk

java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk

make your edits to the "values" directory

java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res test.apk

extract resources.arsc from test.apk

replace resources.arsc that was extracted into framework-res.apk

copy and paste other files from the res/xml from CM10 epicmtd into the new one
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Well I can imagine that having early unofficial releases could be potentially annoying to the devs working on their "baby". I just hope that the bugs were reporting are helpful as they continue to work toward a release.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sgtkwol:
Afroninja did nothing at all. AproSamurai, on the other hand, has contributed to Epic/CM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Its happened on most devices and developers for most devices don't seem to mind or care.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chrishighs:
If people are coding open source for street cred, they are in the wrong business. I happily donate to the Epic CM team on each release, and CM10 will be no different. I don't care what they buy with the money, as it saves me on a new phone, and allows me not to sign a new contract with Sprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Not pointing fingers or anything, heck, I've been one of the first to flash each of these. Just saying that I hope our fooling around with the incomplete builds helps speed along or improve the completion process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I doubt it. We're not really helping by just compiling from their sources unless we can fix that lag issue.

I'm still running Andy's version that has no WiFi, no lag here at all.

Macrucsant's 7/28 build seems to be working, outside of that first boot reboot and some slowness in the very beginning. Leveled off and is buttery smooth, now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Where is the link to Marc's 7/28 build? Is that the one in the OP? If so, I got a massive memory leak or something, Titanium backup brought my phone to a grinding hault. I've been running the PA-ish build since last night. It's been much smoother, but it has it's own quirks, like the screen not scaling to my LCD correctly after turning off the on-screen softkeys.

enjoy, thats the most stable build with wifi working..
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Hey, I have a developer background and I had thought on these builds and what MIGHT be slowing them down. I realize someone said there was no HWA (which is most likely the case) -- but there might be another problem.

Not sure if there is a Page file or anything long-running for pseudo-hibernation, etc -- but I noticed the system partition has 4MB free... and that's it. I realize that's a problem that we can't help and will likely be a problem EVENTUALLY (and likely we'll feel bloat as they keep adding stuff).

Not sure if there are different physical NAND chips for storage, or if the System and Data partitions are all on the same physical NAND chip (I know we had to convert away from Samsung's proprietary crap to jump to CM7) and we could eventually just repartition to expand System or what...

Aside from that, thank you for all of the hard work and releasing the KANG -- and again, apologies if I seem like I'm talking out my bum -- just something I noticed. Looking forward to future Kang's!
[Epic 4G Android Development] zacnking:
Yeah I had the same message with a dirty and clean install. Oh well thanks for the shot jake. Let us know if you figure out what's going on with that build
[Epic 4G Android Development] brandon489:
The 7/26 build has been working fine for me the last 3 days. A couple minor glitches here and there, but I have been running it str8 for 3 days with no reason why I can't use it as a daily rom.

[Epic 4G Android Development] n3m35155:
I switched back to cm9.

The dark "v2" and gapps 728 was rock solid except for battery life keeps it from daily use.

And the softkeyboard thing was annoying.

Hopefully an official will not be a battery killer and they can

Combine the 728 gapps (which shows mms pic preview from bar, but no slideshows) and the ryder version that does not show mms preview, but slideshow worked.

(Hint hint devs... :D)

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yeah we can make it bigger, but that would shrink /data or /cache. We kinda got screwed with the puny partitions. The nexus s has a gig of system I think. I don't think that adding a bigger partition would help because according to a galaxy s guy I talk to, cm10 is laggy on their device too. So apparently something upstream or something common between the galaxy s and epic is screwed up. I think it could be hwcomposer. Could someone pull system/lib/hw/hwcomposer.aries.so from the slim zip I posted and rename it to hwcomposer.s5pc110.so and put it in the cm10 zip in the OP. That may fix hwaccel
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kkthnxbye:
I'll give it a shot. Ill let you know the results.

EDIT

After replacing that file. I have no more lag. The first boot was iffy but bam rebooted again and OMG I think it fixed it. I can upload the modified version quickly for other users if needed =) The setup process and everything was smooth =)

This is a modified build version with the hwcomposer file from JBSlim and an Unofficial CM10 boot logo. I have tested this and no lagg. Thanks to Jake for the suggestion for fixing the hwaccel. If someone does download this please confirm it is smooth for you if you do try this. This is the latest build from source as of July 28th. Credits to Jake for the suggestion and latest source from CM10

There is no need to flash a superuser the normal one works perfectly fine. But you can flash the Super SU if you want. They both work

Also the keyboard is messed up and you will need to go to settings Language & Input then click Default and turn off Hardware Physical Keyboard. You will need to do this after ever boot, it does not stick.

So does that statement mean the Epic CM team is close to an official? I know the rule, no ETAs, but they are generally good about posting a status now and then on the blog.

I haven't even seen the word CM10 mentioned there yet.

Not even a "hey, we're working on it."

[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
TBH, Idk. I would assume that lag is one of the only major things holding them back from releasing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
I am running the Rom titled theme Chooser from a few days back. I can honestly say this thing runs amazingly well. They only major thing not working is Wi-Fi, but I honestly have not experienced any of the lag I have seen on some of the other releases.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Yeah, I'm going to need a stable ROM this week so I'm going to head back to CM9 for the next few days. I've not had one of these builds not end up screeching to a hault within a couple days/hours of flashing depending on the build. But, you do get a good glimpse of how good the ROM will be once it's complete.

Thanks for the hotness thusfar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
I used this updated ROM and the LowRidge GApps and there is NO lag -- running very smooth. The only thing that I see an issue with is that Titanium Backup doesn't work, as others have pointed out (and crashes/locks up the phone).

Otherwise, using it as a daily driver. So glad to be upgraded!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
That is odd. I had Titanium working just fine, It did lock up on 61/64 apps last night, it did take quite a while to do the restore that first 61 apps. By this morning, the ROM would lock up with a few minutes of use. Might have been the other apps I had installed staying in RAM or something along those lines.
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Weird. I rebooted and after the third time trying, it **finally** works without blowing things up. Weird...

[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Quick question.

I have some contacts that apparently were not attached to my Google accounts for phone. If I revert to an old CM9 backup (from CWM5.x), will that cause any issues for me trying to move back forward to CM10 and vice versa?

I figure worst comes to worst, flash to CM9, restore state, backup contacts, flash CM10, revert to new backup.

Thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
if you have a backed up cm9 install in cwm (I think that's what you're saying), then you can just restore that, then either back up your contacts to your SD using the option in the settings app or you could also just sync them to your google account and then when you flash cm10 and gapps, it'll be right there without you having to restore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Is this fairly smooth

http://marcusant.com/android/epic/cm-10-20120730-UNOFFICIAL-epicmtd-Galaxy-S-HWC.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Also, if someone could try some combos of the files here to see what works best that'd be awesome.

http://marcusant.com/android/epic/jbfiles/

Add libglesandroid to lib/egl and gralloc.s5pc110.so to vendor/lib/hw

Try the original libglesandroid with the new gralloc, new libglesandroid with old gralloc, and new of both and let me know what works best if there are any differences. Those are files pulled from the galaxy s, so try them with this ROM.

Next, I will post the gralloc file from Nexus S and test that too in the same ways please. I have to find that first.

Then Rinse, repeat, and do the same for the Nexus S hwcomposer ROM I am compiling now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Is this going to be CM10 or PA? This thread got so convulated with mix of ROMS. I am using Darkjje CM10 for a week nowa nd happy with it except for some slowness and hickups liek stalled app or locked screen but then catches up. MMS being intermitent and some photo would not download automatically and some will. Some download would not even work at all and have to dlete fo rnext MMS to wrok. Gallery does work slow and soem grey thumbnails. WIFI works for me fine. Haven't tried Titanium backup. Wish we could get better signal on this?

So xboxfanj; are you releasing what? Darkjee update or PA or your own based on what?
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
I'll give that a try. Aside from clearing cache, anything else you need changed between each setup? (ie, rewipe /system each time before installing and changing up files)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Wipe data too. It's probably not necessary, but it's probably best to do that just for consistency purposes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
The builds I have made (minus the first POC before sources were available) have been built from source. They were not based on anyone else's kangs. They are CM10.

I haven't worked worked on Paranoid at all and tbh I don't plan to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
Pretty smooth so far, but I have only had it installed for 20 minutes. No where near the lag I have experienced with some other builds. More to follow.

Edit: After about 45 minutes in it started to do the lag again and eventually locked up requiring a battery pull.

Sent from my phone that refuses to die.

I am new to this what is this file for or do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
I'm still running the 7/17 build and lag completely smoothed out after a few days. As strange as it sounds I noticed battery life almost tripled after about a week of use, I was getting about 12-15h with very light use for the first few days (as in about 10-30min of screen on time).

1800mah, light use:
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
It is a graphics file and in my post on the last page I said to try a bunch of files to see what is smoothest. This one goes in vendor/lib/hw and is from the nexus s.

I also posted the galaxy s file, so I would like someone to compare all three to each other with the libglesandroid from the nexus s 4g and epic (the one already in the zip) and with the one on the last page from the galaxy s. I would like for someone to do that in the build with galaxy s hwcomposer I posted on the last page and the one with nexus s hwcomposer which is still compiling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
Will update as I go along, not sure how much I can get to tonight on it.

My process: Combined files to GalaxyS HWC zip individually, wiped cache and system (for time's sake), installed modified zip and gapps for 7/26. After boot and SD card read, went into Messaging, Contacts, Launcher, and tested response time from power button press to screen on to past lock screen.

Original Galaxy S HWC : A bit laggy at first. After reboot, could not get past the lock screen. Power button responsive. Launcher unresponsive notification three times. After 5 minutes, system seemed to lag.

GSHWC+GSG file: Power button not responsive, system became unresponsive. Had to pull battery

GSHWC+GSL file: Power button responsive, but lock screen is not. Process system unresponsive notification once. After 5 minutes, system much snappier. Launcher slow, freezes on loading icon

GSHWC+GSL+GSG file: Slow at first, but after about 3 minutes, very responsive. Launcher acts as it should. Making a phone call takes 10 seconds (from first ring) for the phone screen to show up. Ending phone call laggy, brings up a process unresponsive. After 10 minutes, dozen attempts to wake screen by power button required to get the screen to turn on. Of combinations, most responsive thus far.

GSHWC+NSG file: Quite similar to GSHWC+GSL file above. Launcher finally opened on 3rd try, but it completely locked the system. Had to pull battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Thank you very much. How bout with both GS files in?

And also what about with the Nexus S gralloc file?
