[EVO 4G Android Development] JTNiggle:
It's good to see this finally coming to fruition!

I love CM6, but it just has not been usable for me without the big features that set the Evo apart from every other android phone. I can live without the HDMI and FM Radio, but not 4G. I tether my laptop daily, and it has become so much nicer since 4G rolled into my area. With the addition of some modified setting to the WiMax radio, it has become even more reliable for me.

So, I'll donate $20 to the cause. Paypal is warm and ready when the time comes.

Now, we really need to get ## codes working as well. Gotta have them for the WiMax setting, manual PRL updates, and profile managing. Then I could toss my Fresh nandroids in the trash for good!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rijid:
I am in for $30. I think CM is the best rom out there, period. 4G would just be additional icing on an already delicious cake. Mmmmmmm...... Cake.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
The cake is a lie.

Swyped from my EVO via the XDA app
[EVO 4G Android Development] dreynam2:
ready
[EVO 4G Android Development] rijid:
I never lie about cake. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xero187:
Ah.... 4g CM6 is near at last...

Count me in for another $10
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
Is 4g here?...
[EVO 4G Android Development] joe85:
I originally pledged $30 but bump me up to $40. I am really excited for this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adelaney:
We don't have 4g in Oly, Wa. Its 20 miles away. How ****ty is that.

Sent from my badass, superfast evo; over the fastest, cheapest, best coverage-having network.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Therr were just a bunch of wimax commits on github for supersonic!
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
Yessir, Cyanogen's working on WiMAX and it's got to where we're seeing some initial commits. I've lent him a hand today with lolcat output of an actual connection/disconnection, as well as sequansd output.

Very psyched to see some progress on this, as it's going to be a highly portable feature in the future! :) It's by no means ready yet though. The whole HTC implementation was dirty to begin with, so there's a lot of double reverse engineering going on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Oh f%?# yeah....only been waiting like forever for this...was beginning to think it may never happen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
that's so awesome to hear! :D

nicely done, myndwire!
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
Hehe, yeah. It actually seems a little further along that most may think. The stuff that's been done already waiting in Gerrit is likely what we're seeing trickle into the Git repo. Unfortunately he doesn't have actual service on his Evo, so hopefully at some point in the near future anything he needs tested in initial stages can happen via testers, but it still sucks he can't grab some sort of month-to-month service on Sprint. Clear refuses to put Sprint-MAC'd devices on their network just like any other carrier, which sucks too.

Edit: I swear someone had said they were using clear with their Evo... I recall seeing a lot of complaining about Sprint possibly capping their 4g compared to Clear... Anyone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] IOInterrupt:
Can't he spoof the MAC address?
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
i, along with other people, have suggested giving him a second line on our plans. i don't mind if the pool could pay for the connection/disconnection fees. that way, he can get all the toys he needs to get this puppy up and running :)

i sent him a message about it, but, if you can get discuss that with him, that'd be great. i'm @GeneralLeeRndm on twitter, stalking him lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
I remember that too.....they shaved some setting and when they tried to get a 4g connection it took them to some clearwire log in website.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
I'm sure the offer has come up a bunch of times, especially with the bounty on this thread.. I'll have to ask him what he thinks about it, I'm sure there's a ton of folks that'd just merely add him to their plan, but I'm not sure what his feelings on that are. I wonder if you COULD just spoof the WiMAX MAC and authenticate to Sprint with just that, I'd offer mine up in a second if it worked. I know we can manipulate MACs with all of the old 'broken 4G' crap that we dealt with 4-6 mo ago, that's a good point. It's also totally possible at the Linux layer of course. Hmm...

Edit: Actually if I remember correctly, sequansd spits out a flat file with your MAC that likely has to hash to something specific and remain unmodified, but I'm sure that's able to be worked around. That's how we fixed it in the past, just re-gen'ing that file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
hmm.. that's a good point.. well, let me know what he says.. :)

thanks, man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
NP bro, I'll let you guys know when there's a descent update. When I saw the commits I knew this thread would be blowing up. About a half hour ago he was headed over to his buddy's place that lives in an area with better WiMAX coverage. He just happens to be in the tiny sliver of space that isn't fully saturated with 4G.. Crappy huh? I'm sure they'll expand the areas once the actual towers push higher signal (or they just add more).

I feel spoiled with 3 full bars in my living room, but absolutely nothing at work :-x
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
tell me about it. i have 2 bars at both home and at work. my only kryptonite is sense. i can't stand it for more than 5 min, despite the 8.5mbps/1mbps speeds! but they're rolling it out more and more quickly, it seems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
I have it 1/2 mile from home....frusturating for sure. When sprint offically goes live in my city and they "flip the switch" hopefully then it will reach my house lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JTNiggle:
I can get solid 4g at work, and just barely at home, but neither of them are on the Sprint map as being covered. My house is actually in the data/voice roaming area, but I can just barely hook onto 4g there with some modified settings. It will be really nice once it becomes a bit more official.

One thing I'm concerned about with 4g on CM6 is the settings. On sense, you can use the ##3282# menu to change the wimax network connection settings. If I still have to nandroid back to a sense ROM to edit these setting, that will be a bit annoying, but still a major improvement ov no 4g at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
Anyone know if cyanogen has made any more progress? Is there anything to try out yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
still apparently a lot to do, but he's been working on evo/g2 stuff primarily the last few days, so at least the focus is in the right place :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] grungbuk:
I will gladly throw 20 bucks in for this when it works
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
I have 3-4 bars in my apartment. Go Chicago!

FYI: New total is $1,390.00!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
whoa!!

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
Cyanogen's recent Gerrit commit comment from 10/8:

I'm starting to hook these up to sequansd. Woohoo! Can power up, power down, scan, and get some properties so far. Not gonna spam Gerrit yet but I just wanted to bump this for great justice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
this is very good news. also, i lol'd at "bump this for great justice".
[EVO 4G Android Development] DraginMagik:

Please increase my contribution to $20 instead of $10.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jorgeszabo:
I just saw a tweet from Cyanogen that said they were going into code freeze for 6.1 this weekend. Does anyone know if WiMax will make the cut?
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
It looks like there will be a LOT of supersonic dev happening before Sunday. WiMax may just make the cut, along with WiMax LED notifications, possibly HDMI, and some other goodies he's working on. Too freaking cool. Twitter blew up bigtime today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
yea, i saw. i think i did a little happy dance while on the can and coughing up a lung. this has got to be the best news i've heard all week :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
What's the gathered amount as of now?

Great news. I'm hoping to see some Wimax goodness in CM6.1. I'm in for $15.
[EVO 4G Android Development] italyhot21:
Count on me for $10
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondoslack:
It would be unfair to not chip in, even if its only $5. 5*1000=$5000 (evo/cyanogen users, you know you're out there).

I'm in for $5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] norkoastal:
$5 from me to Cya and family... CM6 has been a workhorse for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Seriously. I can't wait to get 4G on CM6. I lived with a sense rom for the past month because we finally got 4G where I work and live, but nothing runs as smooth as CM6 on the evo so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onicrom:
im in for 20
[EVO 4G Android Development] iomthd:
lol you do a lot of forum reading in there!
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Why the heck does everyone care about CM6 ROMs when there's soooooooo many other better ones available? I'm sitting here scratching my head...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karadorde:
Its all about personal preference. I'd much rather run a rom that isn't cluttered with Sense. I'm a purist. Give barebones Android or give me death.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
:p

i'm scratching my head to the possibility of these "other better" roms you speak of. i have yet to come across one that matches cm's speed, stability, performance, and battery life. (edit: oh and let's not forget versatility)

*troll post is trolling*
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
Not to put down the hard work the developers have put into their roms, but a Sense rom will never be as smooth running as a non sense rom. Plus the aosp contact manager is a lot better than the sense one. Before android 2.1 sense was better than stock android.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
not only that bu when 3.0 gingerbread is release we would have it before any one!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] odwdinc:
Can u use bluetooth hid? Aka mouse keyboard?

How about wii mote psx?

O ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] firemedic1343:
I've used just about every rom out there. I love them all. But the only reason I'm not on Cyanogen is the lack of 4G.

I consider all the rom makers royalty...but Cyanogen is the king.:D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techrocket9:
CM6 has a functioning Bluetooth stack (unlike Sense)

However, I have not gotten A bluetooth mouse to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] swatspyder:
Opinionated much?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techrocket9:
Bad news everyone. Cyanogen just tweeted this:

"cyanogen: @Jay0911 probably in a minor update release, if I'm able to get it all working."

--http://www.twitter.com/cyanogen/status/27517025631

If you follow the reply stream, it's someone asking if 4G is still scheduled for 6.1

Cyanogen is saying that it will probably be pushed out beyond 6.1

Oh well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] odwdinc:
I'm using one now
[EVO 4G Android Development] onicrom:
silly question... but how can we donate?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Just got to hang in there. He'll get it working soon. Then they are going to be getting some nice donations. Im ready with my monies!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnypedantic:
I was going to be content to sit back and be another proud contributor to the free-rider problem that plagues so many new social movements, but instead I will pledge $10. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Why not just uninstall Sense with Titanium's Chuck Norris mode? That's what I do and say bye bye Sense on any ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] donatom3:
There is more to a sense rom than the stuff you can see. You can't remove all of HTC's changes on a rom based on sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDuckies:
Troll post is trolling. CM6 is popular because it is the most developed AOSP ROM out there. Where other devs do neat things with existing code, CM6 is the project that does it all from scratch.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Balian67:
Hmmm

*EDIT*

I did see the CM 6.1 change logs so ignore the "no major updates" kinda talk in the lower sections

*END EDIT*

Look guys....its been what 4-5 months? NO 4G...and Ultimately no HDMI either?

What is sad is at the beginning and END of the day this is an EVO 4G. We all paid for 4G, we all paid for the HDMI Out feature. We all paid for these amazing features...and they work on other roms. Now, the problem with other roms is that certain apps don't work, random issues....etc....I don't know how good CM6 is. But seriously 4-5 months later and no major updates? I'm not meaning to sound like im flaming the team....because I know cyan is a legend in the Android world...I HAVEN'T tried CM6 yet because it doesn't look like its been updated for a while. However, I AM going to fix my recovery problem. Make a backup of all my apps...etc and flash CM6.

Here is my contribution to this thread: I will give 20 dollars for two things. 4G and HDMI out not just for slideshows and ****...but full HDMI out for the Android UI/Apps! After I test that **** out and I will probably donate more depending on how giddy I get (Im a full time student so any monies I donate is a big deal).

Make it happen geniuses and miracle makers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I doubt that the CM team will look at 4G again until after they've rolled out CM6.1 final. We're really not that close to having 4G at this point.

I will donate some cash to whomever can get a wiimote and 4G working in the same ROM whether it has Sense or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
actually, cyanogen is pretty close to getting it done and hdmi needs to be polished up a bit. you're correct in saying they're busy with 6.1, but i won't be surprised if 6.1.1 is released with wimax and hdmi working a few weeks after 6.1.

also, why bother about posting about features on a sense in a cm thread??
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
good question. cyanogen has commented on this here as well as on twitter, let's see if we can hear from him.

here's hoping...
[EVO 4G Android Development] infamousjax:
Just copy the 4G widget .apk from Sense over to CM6 and BAM... you'll have 4G!

Put me in for $10 Buck to help the cause.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Wow you're so clueless, p-slim is down for $25 as well. Aosp roms need this badly
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Anybody who is worried about the pool think of it like this, only madcoder is working on it, which is fine but now we're bound by his time limitations, there may be another developer who has been doing other things but this bounty may delay his other project and may want to knock this out to get paid real quick. If someone creates an open source 4g app, then this will benefit everyone not just cyanogenmod. It just benefits cm more because they have the best open source rom :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Exactly...up until this Rom and a couple others were released, CM6 was the only hope I saw for functionality on my Evo similar to Cyans work on my blazing Nexus.

Not so now. Sense stripped (to my liking...(some sense apps are just more preferable)...on say Calculins Rom with said kernel have this thing snapping to the likes of Cm6...-WITH better battery and 4G etc.

Unless it's just an asop principle thing I don't see the need for one when others are fully functional and surpass say 1600 quadrant measures.

But....it would be a sweet dev breakthrough if it happened!
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
I have a question for you, why the **** are you in this room? This isnt a discussion thread, this is a bounty thread and if you don't want to donate or discuss the bounty, keep it moving. This isn't a rom comparision thread, even though you're completely wrong and cm6 smashes freshes' rom in every aspect, not to mention sense is the worst thing on this planet. What ever you have to say in here NO ONE will agree with you, so why bother. Move along, nothing to see here
[EVO 4G Android Development] rockky:
Heh! take another tranquiizer...I'll likely leave $, would love to see it done...just saying...for me...why It's more of a mute point. No it doesnt ''smash'' Calc's Rom functionality (at all) ...so what? CM6 is great been on it since day one. Can you handle both of those concepts?

Am all for trying to help trigger 4G on CM6.

Its ok man. Its OK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] p-slim:
Alright alright, its just that I was finally happy to see this thread then the 1st 2 pages people are talking ****, to me that's amazing. I thought you were following in their footsteps

[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
You mean "moot" point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
We are already at $315.00!

The plan, for now, is to start submit all donations ever Sunday, beginning one week from today. Ergo, next Sunday, all of the promised donations will be collected and given to Cyanogen directly.

I will work out an arrangement with him so that our donations are separate from the rest, so that the CM6 team knows that they are for 4G, and not general donations.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mkeena0305:
20
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Cyanogen isn't even working on 4g. And im not sure how often madcoder is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Cyanogen is not working on the WiMAX code because he does not live in an area where 4G is available.

That is the point of this thread, however. There are other people on the CM6 team. Perhaps this money will be used to purchase an EVO 4G for a member of the CM6 team who lives in an area where 4G is available, thereby allowing him or her to work on the code with Madcoder.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
No, I think he means "mute" point. :rolleyes:

But seriously, 4G on CM6 would equal amazing-ness. Only reason I'm really weighing which 2.2 ROM to flash is for 4G / Tethering. But I still haven't jumped off CM6, not sure if I even will. :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Donate! Aid in making 4G on CM6 a reality.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Balian67:
Well like I said.....if Cyanogen comes out with FULL hdmi out and 4G ill donate. I'll probably donate either way because I do like 6.0 so far.... especially since ive been unplugged for 11 hours with 5% battery left with moderate use, mostly SNESoid games and a few calls...but with a live wallpaper at 15% brightness.

It would be nice to find out what features of HDMI his team is implementing. (like FULL video/audio out.....etc). Peace love and happiness peeps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] aduljr:
As much as I want 4G support, I do not think I can stand using the sense ui any more. I tried to while in vegas to make use of 4G there, but 23 hours later I restored to my backup of CM6. I will be patient for 4g support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shauli20:
Honestly, I can't understand why people are hating on Sense so much. Cyanogen is very nice, but you still can't beat HTC's dialer or weather widget and much more. I'm not saying I'm not eager to try CM6 myself (I've seen it on my friend's HERO), and I may even donate if they come out with CM6 with 4G support, but this talk of "I can't stand Sense anymore" just seems absurd to me...
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
one man's treasure is another's trash.

different strokes for different folks.

to each his own.

...i could go on. regardless, in the end, those who use cm prefer aosp over sense. i don't like sense either. why? because i prefer aosp's simplicity and speed.

*shrugs*
[EVO 4G Android Development] stangdriverdoug:
Ok your in the wrong thread. This isn't a CM vs. Sense debate. This thread is for the support of 4g with CM. Sounds like you need to try CM and make a educated decision for yourself. Because let me tell you....there is no comparison between CM on the Hero and the Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodelyfe:
Lol @ noobs who say they won't ditch sense because of the widgets....that statement alone explains why cm6 ain't for you.

Jump out the box that includes thinking. There are TONS of widgets on the market that totally ****S on htc widgets. This is almost as bad as apple dumbing down their client base and then them drinking the koolaid and try defending.

If you can't understand why someone likes something else, instead of trying to belittle, you should do some research before looking like a complete noob with a side of apple dumbness. But then again ignorance is bliss.

While this isn't and has never been a thread about cm6 vs sense, you sense fanboys sure do stay wasting your time in this thread for it [cm6] "to not be so great".... This is only a 4g donation thread, why all the hate?

Last but not least, its my thinking (or my reasoning) cm6 has a big following and is the 'best' (because we all know best is relative) it is open source and the community is awesome. Last but not least cm6 vs sense is like a custom built hot rod from ground up, working on her with your homeboys vs an already bought honda riced out with silly tweaks (sense doesn't add any performance, it's just 'for looks' aka the definition of rice). While this isn't a jab at any 'developer'/modder of sense roms and while I respect and appreciate their time, it just is what it is.

Also, why would I wanna have to WAIT on a corporate entity/corporate programmers taking their sweet time, when we can get it from the community ten times faster?

Also what you gonna do when htc stops supporting the evo and you want an update/upgrade to the new new? Those develops who tweak the sense roms can't hack/make new roms if they don't have a new one from htc. It can be ported but we all know that can be picky.... I bet that ass will be slobbing on cyanogenmod scrotum then

P.s. How do you knock something you never tried? Too simple of a mindset
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
Maybe you should take your own advice. All you did is go on to talk **** about sense and how we're all gonna end up on cm.

Personally I like my ava9 rom with all the sense. I have nothing against cm or cm users, but the sense hate like this is just stupid. You yourself sound more like an apple fanboy than anyone else in the last two pages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgallos1:
Where can I dpnate for this pool?
[EVO 4G Android Development] goodelyfe:
Silly soul, learn the differences between facts, opinion and as you put it, 'hate'

Second, I never said, talked ****, 'more ****' nor 'hate' nor mention any names about or in reference to htc sense, it was a broad general statement. But I guess a hit dog will holler huh?

The only thing I did say is it's rice. Everybody knows that htc put sense on android because they thought it [vanilla android] was too ugly as well as making it look like the traditional htc phone. This is no secret, as well as it adding no, zero, zilch, nunca performance perks at all. If anything it would/could SLOW it down because of the extra graphical overlay/skin. This is fact.

Third, if your so ava 9 why are you sitting here wasting your time?

This is about the 4g pool for cm6 not ava 9 last time I checked.

Fall back please.
