I can't get google apps to load with 13.1 I have ext4 and new kernel still trying
[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
Wifi is still not working on my girls epic
[Epic 4G General] drakens6:
Anything special you did yourself? I still can't get past obtaining IP address myself...

What's ur network config? Ive got N-WPA2-PSK, dhcp enabled.

Would love to get this working, it's pretty f***ing sweet otherwise.

EDIT: OHHH, I see, 13.1 not 13... I'm a total douche.
[Epic 4G General] dhero1:
Yes, it'll work. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
Hahaha Yeah. It sort of works, but it still needs work. It's a step in the right direction though.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
BUMP............
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Haha you don't want it to get burried.. nice job noobnl almost completely done loving the speed of this rom.
[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
Not complaining but does the wifi fix also fix the pandora http streaming bug?
[Epic 4G General] mikedeezy:
i didnt see this mentioned in the change log but does anyone else experience issues with the touch screen not responding, particularly when using the dialer?
[Epic 4G General] bigroof:
An update on new years Eve. Noobnl doesn't stop for anything.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
bump......
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
TOP Priority:

MMS is broken
[Epic 4G General] *AndroidMaster*:
LOW priority:

black and white preview but color picture, video recording is crashing

Streaming HTTP like youtube, Pandora is broken

not yet
[Epic 4G General] ericizzy1:
hi all, any issue with making calls whatsoever? (any mic issues or speakerphone)

thanks
[Epic 4G General] viper134:
Just saw the next update, thanks for the all the work n00b
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Awesome, finally a real aosp rom on the epic! Thanks for all the good work Noob and others. Once this rom gains pandora streaming support, I will use it as my main rom.
[Epic 4G General] ntcjk:
15.2 usb connect fail

[1] suddenly lost the ability to connect to computer via USB. not reset by rebooting phone and computer [win7pro 64bit]. flashed back to viper rom - works fine

[2] Keyboard still not mapping Fn [.com]

[3] downloading apps during setup wizard freezes. cancel all and redownload - works/

would be nice to be able to setup wifi prior to setup wizard - save on data since i'm paying for 4g and only have 3g.

:D
[Epic 4G General] ntcjk:
great work

p.s.

kudos for the amazing rate at which the rom is shaping up.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Is noobnl doin this singlehandedly?
[Epic 4G General] danherbert:
Based on the git commits, it look like a lot of the work is being done by noobnl. There's a couple things being done by others as well though, especially the Samsung Galaxy S CM team.
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
If this accounts for anything myself and others in the iRC chat have been quite active helping him(her?) test builds as they come out. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a prebeta-15.4 out by now (15.3 is out, though I guess it's not big enough of an improvement to add to the change log in the first post of this thread. Either that, or he's not gotten to it yet? I dunno.).
[Epic 4G General] edcarsky:
to @dhero1

thanks to your respond, so in your opinion, it is okay if i will buy in US via eBay, its fine it will work?

this is CMDA right, not GSM, and if you said that it will work if i will flash to CM the ESN, do you think its a good advise that ill go for buy?

please confirm, i really need an advise, and kindly give me simple instructions via links, i would appreciate your effort, thanks

PM me, edcarSky@yahoo.com =)
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
15.3.2 is out. not sure what it fixes tho
[Epic 4G General] amirite:
This is my first time having an Android phone that supports a Cyanogen, so lemme just thank everyone or the hard work right off the bat - this is a very intelligently put together ROM and the AOSPness is exactly what I was clamoring for ever since I first turned on my Epic. Loving my phone twice as much now :)

Heres my issue - my Market isn't updating. I installed the Google Apps zip, but my market just doesn't seem to want to auto-update to the recent overhaul. This wouldn't be a big deal except that my Maps app is also stuck at the old version before they added 3D, vector maps, etc. Checking the market shows me that there are no Maps updates available... any idea whats going on here? would re-flashing Gapps at this point screw anything up?
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Flashing a rom does not change the carrier the phone is capable of using.

What you need to do is flash,(carrier settings not rom), new settings to the phone such that it will connect to your carrier.

Before you do that, you should call your carrier, tell them the esn number of the phone and ask them if they will activate it.

If they say yes, you need to look up how to flash the epic to cricket and follow the instructions except with your carrier's settings instead of cricket's. Make sure you have

ALL

of the needed information before buying the phone. It would suck to spend a few hundred dollars on the phone only to find you can't activate it because you're missing a password.

If they say no, don't buy the phone.
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
+1. I'm having the same issue with the Market app... So strange. Hmmm
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Has anyone had luck installing this ROM and the kernel (ext4 version) on clockwork 3.005? I haven't.

Update: I can get the ext4 kernel installed, but not the ROM.
[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
I don't think CyanogenMod has their update-script changed to the Edify method yet.

Right now I believe the only ROM compatible with the new Clockwork is Quantum, but more should be coming very soon.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
I guessed that.

What I found funny was that the Quantum ROM actually seems to perform better with Cyanogen's ext4 kernel than the default.
[Epic 4G General] sryans2004:
Wrong. I installed with cwm3. You just have to keep trying, this is what I did..

1. Odin back to stock dk28

2. Installed cwm3 (which adds root)

3. Created a new folder on root of sd card and put cyanogenmod rom & kernel in.

4. booted into cwm3, flashed rom then kernel ( did not work the first time. Kept trying and BAM worked...)

I worked on this for several hours yesterday and thought it was just me, but I kept trying and got it.

Also anybody who wants to update to the newest market can download the black market in the "themes and app section" it also worked for me..

Good luck
[Epic 4G General] dj_L:
Has been for several months I gather. And probably the same for any using AOSP.
[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
Bump

Can't wait for more CyanogenMod lovin
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
I managed to do it alone afterwards. I'm still trying to figure out why it would only work some of the time. I think that the coding may still have some sort of bug preventing proper installation.
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
nvm...................................
[Epic 4G General] suzook:
So will the latest version work with the reg file system? I dont want to use EXT4.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Most likely it will have to support both. Noob seems pretty against ext4, so it's likely that there will be support for both for the forseeable future.

However, with Google switching over to ext4 in Gingerbread, it is possible at some point support for YAFFS and other filesystems like rfs may be deprecated in the future. I'd have to say that the benefits outweigh the costs at this point for ext4. I still do not understand why Samsung even chose rfs - it is a slower and overall inferior filesystem. I would recommend that you seriously consider switching over and upgrading to ext4.
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
Audio recording and WiFi definitely sounds like a nice improvement over when I last used 12.1. Add Bluetooth audio routing, and it looks like I might be making another attempt at daily use with Cyanogen. I'll be hoping to crutch Youtube and Pandora by running them through the browser and any MMS needs through e-mail.

I love seeing so much progress made so fast, every time I check back.
[Epic 4G General] II5StarII Swag:
bumping ....
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
So glad I didn't flash earlier, 15.3.6 is finally out. Flashing now.

EDIT after I figure out how to do the EXT4 thing.

Made a TinyURL so I can get the update from the phone way quicker: tinyurl.com/epiccyan

...since I lose all my favorites almost daily now
[Epic 4G General] johnbarry3434:
I see that the changelog mentions gps works, but does network location work? Can anyone verify?
[Epic 4G General] knx2:
Rom works great so far and so close to being complete
[Epic 4G General] Bobbywatts:
Hope I don't PISS nobody off... But Is 4G working yet?
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Facepalm.....
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
No and there is no hope of it EVER working until everything else is working 100%. Period. End of story.
[Epic 4G General] Bobbywatts:
HEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I changed the wallpaper finally... but instantly realized how much better simple black was. I used to just use a black image, but I'm wondering how Cyanogenmod does it by default... I'd not like to have to use the black image workaround.
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
guys, how's the gps on this thing? accelerometer?
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
Heh... As far as it working great, yes, but it has issues still. 4G needs to be implemented, the camera and camcorder need work, MMS needs work, video playback needs work, and the list goes on. For general use I suppose it's fine, but there's a bug where after your first outgoing call you need to toggle the speakerphone on and off in order for the person to hear you properly. It's bothersome, and as far as I know the developer are trying to figure out why it's doing it.

I'm also really looking forward to its completion. I'll use it as my daily driver as soon as most of that stuff I mentioned up above is cleaned up.

I would have said something like that, though differently and more.... politely? It'll happen when it happens heh. These are still PreBetas. By the time it reaches the beta stage more is gonna work. When it reaches the RC stage, then it'll be pretty much done. Who knows how long it'll take. Just wait and see.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
If I flash the kernal over bomsai4all, will i experience the mms and calling issues?
[Epic 4G General] vista178:
lol, no it isn't working yet.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
Am I the only one that considers streaming HTTP more important than 4G and MMS? Being able to listen to internet radio in the car and watch YouTube videos is really a big deal for me, having spent so much on the phone...
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Same here. I don't have 4G here in Louisville, Ky so that's not a big deal. However, MMS and streaming are important to see. Once those two are fixed I will probably switch to CM
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
I second that. I think all that works on 3G should be perfected, and then get the 4G radio working. 3G is super decent.
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
NO MMS yet .... i wonder if cyanogen and others have any participation or something for the epic em6 ... if camera and video was figured out on the g1 and mytouch for eclair then anything is possible !!!
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
+1

I have 4g service here in nyc, but it wouldn't be a big thing missing for me. Those two are the only things holding me back
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
the call routing issue is not cyanogen issue per se...

as confirmed from many including myself and noobnl...

this issue exists in the stock leaked dk28...however not as severe/frequent of a problem.

as dk28 was not an official public release, it has its own share of coding bugs and is an incomplete work.
[Epic 4G General] Capostrophy:
Uhh....I DO agree with you, BUT these guys are building this from the ground up. The developers get to set their priorities not you.

Have a little consideration.

Thanks for all the hard work guys.
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
Sorry... I worded that wrong. I really do appreciate what this small team of devs is doing. As awesome things are implemented I always help them test stuff, and I share my feedback.

What I meant to say was:

"When all but 4G is working 100% I'll be switching to CM as my main OS/Daily Driver on my Epic 4G."

Sorry for any misunderstandings in my previous post. Heh.
[Epic 4G General] mikeschevelle:
CMod while having its bugs, is simple an AMAZING thing :D

Cant imagine how much more awesome it would be if OTA of FroYo would come out, can you imagine running a honeycomb based Cmod on this phone :D :D :D :D :D
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
Lol! I listen to internet radio over 4g, while sending mms. Sadly, looks like I won't be switching for quite a while! But I'm definitely encouraged by the great progress that's been made.
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
Is this still being actively worked on by Noob? Haven't seen an update in a few days.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
School probably started back up again for him like it did for me. If he takes classes anything like mine, he won't have time for developing cyanogenmod except maybe on the weekends.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
+1

As a student myself, I can certainly sympathize with that. It's a busy life.

I wonder though if maybe we should get another developer to help noob on this project. Cyanogen is certainly one of the most prominent of the custom ROMs that Android has and it's additional is a great asset for this community. The problem will be finding somebody as skilled as noob.
[Epic 4G General] p-niiice:
I use 4G and wifi exclusively here in Atlanta, so i won't switch to this until 4G is working. However I will donate before then for sure. All this hard work is appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] bitbang3r:
As far as 4g goes, is the barrier getting it to successfully connect & authenticate itself to Clear's tower *at all*, or a case of getting it to work nicely & reliably?

If it's mainly a case of #2, maybe someone could at least work in a nasty & dirty hack that would let users manually connect to a specific tower & treat it like glorfied wi-fi (no handoffs, the network would just quit working if the signal degraded too much) at a few manually-configured locations (say, home, work, & gym?).

In other words, let determined users limp on 4g by manually doing the equivalent of 'ifconfig eth3 up' as root. Unlike the Evo, we *do* have the source to the wimax drivers, right?
[Epic 4G General] tnynyn:
From the CM 6.2 thread:

Forcystos:

"This project has been put on hold until the official Froyo release for the Epic. Many of the bugs we are currently experiencing are in the kernel, so until we have at least a fully working kernel, there isn't much we can do."
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
am i allowed to start whining about not having froyo on the epic again?
[Epic 4G General] dhero1:
Doesn't everyone who wants it have dk28 froyo already? Now source code, that's something else ...
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
No, your options are;

1) leave

2) DK28 (buggy)

3) DI18 (It' what I did...)
[Epic 4G General] Forcystos:
4G isn't something we are considering short term. Maybe when we have fixed most else, but we haven't even tried doing anything. Of course, unless someone else with time in their hands wants to hop on board.
[Epic 4G General] bigroof:
5.3.6 still runs lovely. :)
[Epic 4G General] warlar12:
Yep I went back to DI18 as well primarily for wired\wireless tether
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
been back on DI18 since before christmas when i thought we were getting the OTA froyo upgrade. all i really want to do is be able to play music through my damn OEM car mount!
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
noobnl has gone back to school (college) and he's had little time to work on it.. Also, the Epic 4G source has yet to be released... The devs are pretty much stuck until then. Though, they're trying to get generic kernels from generic Linux to build, with drivers and stuff for Android. We'll have to see what happens. I can't wait for a fully functional CM6 sans 4G at first... I'd want all but 4G working so I could use CM6 as my daily driver OS.

Time will tell. :)

Edit: Someone whose name I don't remember atm has started to port Gingerbread to our beloved devices in the form of CM7. This should be interesting....
[Epic 4G General] dcowboys2184:
so is cyanogen and them helping out?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Several pages back someone posted that there's not much more work going on with this project until Samsbung releases source code for 2.2
[Epic 4G General] mikeschevelle:
which wont happen
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Anybody here have a workaround for the bottom buttons disappearing?

This doesn't work:

* from the home screen

* Menu - Settings

* Sound and Display

* Keyboard timeout

* "Same as Screen timeout"

There is no "keyboard timeout option", so the conventional Epic workaround doesn't work.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
It's become painfully obvious that if you want real roms you get a HTC phone, if you want theme and app packs called "Roms" get a Samsung. Not saying great progress with CM6 hasn't been made.. but heck other phones are getting CM7 dailies at this point :P

If you expect software upgrades and real roms, don't buy a Samsung. :)
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
i smell gingerbread ! mmm good stuff /teaser
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:

[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I've been on DK28 since it came out and use wireless tether at least a few times per week with no probs..
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I say that Bonsai rom is pretty good condidering that it came from DK28-he made it as smooth as official froyo and Syndicate is also real good performance rom but yeah htc still beats us,i wonder why they all jump on htc ship?
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
yea XDA community on HTC phones rock. I think a lot of that is because Google gave everybody EVOs at Google I/O and the Nexus One was HTC.

I loved my EVO, but the camera on the Epic is just so much better. Video recording is excellent. I'm on DK28 and while buggy, it still beats the EVO, only because of the camcorder really for me.
[Epic 4G General] dwd3885:
right. i'll believe it when i see it!
[Epic 4G General] twotwo11:
Whaaaaaat? noobnl teasing? That made my day. :)

[Epic 4G General] crake001:
Don't believe he specifically has one anymore but the teams twitter is cmsgsteam
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
It's a shame. I like the Samsung hardware so much better. Hell, just having such a beautiful screen is worth it to me alone.
[Epic 4G General] mikeschevelle:
Well shizzle, this may keep my from jumping to an Evo :D :D
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
So I've been using this daily since the last update, and I absolutely love it, minus the few REALLY annoying bugs. (Mute on/off to call out, speaker on/off to hear calls, no bluetooth calling, and no Youtube or Pandora.) I'm barely outside of a 4G area until it expands to match the coverage map. =(

Anyways, 16 days with no update, but I've seen something on him compiling CM7. Is this the plan for next big update? I'm hoping some sort of update will come out to fix some of these things. Hell, I'd be plenty happy http streaming or bluetooth calls and just deal with the damn mute/speaker buttons. CM7 would be unbelievable, but I'm very happy with a working CM6 and very willing to donate larch chunks of paycheck, once some of the named features are fixed.
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
+1000

Just streaming Pandora and Youtube would make this ROM fully functional to me. The audio routing is annoying, but it wouldn't stop me from using this.

The only real hold back for me is infrastructure tethering. I use my phone as my main source of internet so it's kinda a big deal. The ad hoc tethering rarely wants to connect correctly. Dunno why that is, but I'm currently on stock 2.1 using mobile AP cause it's so darned reliable.

Edit: If you follow CMSGSTeam on twitter then you'll see the work they are doing. Don't understand half of what they are actually doing but you can see noob is working on gingerbread :-)

He also dropped a teaser in the irc the other day so I'd say it's safe to assume he's working on it.
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I also really really want HTTP streaming...

Regarding the Mute/Speakerphone toggle that I've been used to doing every phone call... could a workaround not be implemented that simply toggles them for me at the start of every call? Not sure how much the stuff can be changed, but if the system did the same stuff pressing the buttons did every call, it wouldn't be annoying for now.
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
ALL HAIL NOOBNL! ALL HAIL NOOBNL!

[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
Not to mention only HTC phones used to on here. Also the name xda is a really old maybe first phone
[Epic 4G General] stevesprivateaccount:
XDA naming is good site trivia. The XDA was a windows mobile phone from HTC LONG BEFORE Android, and before GOOG (google.com's IPO). This site used to be almost entirely for ROMs cooked for Windows based phones.

This was also when HTC didn't have a US presence or business arm, but pretty much EVERY windows phone was made by them (other then one or two models from Motorola). The competition? Blackberry and Palm, there was no iPhone either.

edit: Found the SPECS of the Original XDA which if I remember was released in 2002 or 2003:

Xda

The first product released in the Xda range. neo is the first edition

* 206 MHz Intel SA-1110 microprocessor

* Initial models had 32 MB RAM, which was quickly increased to 64 MB

* 240×320 color touchscreen (12bit) 4096 colors

* I/O: cable (USB, RS-232), IrDA & SD flash card

* Dual-band 900/1800 MHz radio

* HTC codename: HTC Wallaby

Please say you fixed theb 3g and signal glithces...please?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Nice, no longer a prebeta.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
almost there
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
As listed in the OP:

BETA 0: 3g visual fixes, 3g bug fixes, hardware 2d & video acceleration via copybit.s5pc110.so , merge from gingerbread commits, and added swype (broken) (credit: noobnl, Forcycos)

Soooo signal glitches are fixed, and Swype was added. That's it, along with other stuff that most users wouldn't see since it'd be under the hood, I'd imagine.
[Epic 4G General] cozmonot:
the signal glitch appears to still be there. its just the 3g dl/ul icon that works now
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
How is it that MMS is still broken and has been a top priority since the start?

they'd like to fix it but im guessing there isn't much they(Devs) can do until samsung gets their **** together.
