Question: Are you able to include Swype with AOSP based work, even though its broken I thought you could only include it with ROMs that are based off of Samsungs.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
It was my understanding that it could be included as long as swype was available on the phone at it's release or when it was included in official releases of the carrier software.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Thats correct. Swype can be included as long as the roms it is being included in run on phones that already have the licenses to run it and the version of swype is the same that comes preinstalled on the factory rom.
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
http streaming fixes are coming soon!
[Epic 4G General] iamchocho:
Cant wait, go Noob. I wish samsung would hire some developers as competent as you.
[Epic 4G General] boktai1000:
Interesting. At the very least wouldn't including Swype go against what CyanogenMod is all about, as well as go against the source model of "free and open source software"? As far as I'm aware, Swype isn't included with any other CyanogenMod ROM (maybe for the exception of a modded ROM).
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
Sweet! I'd love to try it out for as long as I can, without my bluetooth calls.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
It might go against the ethos of only compiling open source code, but it is not illegal or frowned upon by the swype developers since the Epic comes with swype from the factory.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Exactly what he said... I think for the "stable" cm release they should provide the .apk in a flashable zip or just adb push from a stock rom if thai version of swype is compatible.

The 2nd method is what I had to do for my current install of midNIGHT and my gingerbread theme. When it booted all I had was the gingerbread keyboard so I had to push the Swype.apk from the deodexed ACS dk28 rom.

great work noobnl!!! these CM projects are the main reason why I tossed my moment for an Epic that I'm **hopefully** getting delivered today! keep up the good work. can't wait to try these all out
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
They may as well just put/keep it in /system, unless they find themselves needing that space.

Also, I noticed the streaming fixes were reverted. :(
[Epic 4G General] noobnl:
No straming fix
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Is it still coming soon or does this mean it is going to be awhile?
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Assume that he hit a wall in which he is unaware of a way around. Maybe another limit of not having the official source code?

Regardless its pretty amazing that these guys do this in their free time. I go to school and major in CS but I have no clue how these guys find the time to do this. At least the ones who have full-time jobs or go to school.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I can't wait for http streaming. Thanks for your work noob!

Bump
[Epic 4G General] jbuggydroid:
Glad to see swype. The only thing keping me from this rom is I love the camera/video app that originally come with the epic. Anyway that could be flashed or installed
[Epic 4G General] BigJPNut:
I can live with that. Is there a problem with MMS? I cant find the problem in my searches
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
Read above, he retracted that.

The problem with MMS is it does not work.
[Epic 4G General] mr.lumbergh:
This is the exact reason I went to another ROM. I love the stock camera/video app too. Anyone know if flashing the app is possible on this ROM?
[Epic 4G General] m4zt3r:
can't wait until this is ready for daily use. Thanks developers. Y'all are the best
[Epic 4G General] kynolin:
Are there any updates on this? (Am I checking the wrong posts?)
[Epic 4G General] nubsors:
They probably won't update until after EA17 hits, and even then they still need the source to be released. You're looking at end of Feb.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I wouldn't bank on it. It's highly likely it would rely on some common code/framework which wouldn't be there anymore.

The camera app is nice though.
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
Now that Froyo is going to OTA and the kernel source is released I'd imagine that CM should be finished very soon. I look forward to that very much.

GO NOOBNL GO! I'll beta test the new builds!! I'll even keep them on my phone for daily use, so long as the calling bugs are resolved.
[Epic 4G General] humdrum2009:
Excited

This is what i am excited about a fully functioning cm6 and 7 yes.

Wont be too much longer now once o:Dta drops let the coding begin.
[Epic 4G General] thizzmaster:
anyone know if he is already workin on it?
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
i believe he needs the modem amongst other things in the OTA rolling out Monday.
[Epic 4G General] warrior420:
The above statement is true.
[Epic 4G General] beno*:
Believe me, ecstatic about getting Froyo on my Epic. Any idea if this will help battery life? Forgive the off topic, but I seem to remember something about Froyo managing power more efficiently. Also, will we have to wait until official 2.3 source code before CM7?
[Epic 4G General] Shiggity:
There are CM7 RCs for other devices, and I think the GB source was released already.....
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
If only they played well with the rest of CM team...
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Yeah, its a shame they don't wanna play with Noobnl. Kinda sucks, but atleast noob will most likely have it going enough to be a daily when the OTA hits and he works out some things.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
Sadly, I don't see that as sustainable. A CM build based on one persons work, as good as that one person might be, doesn't have nearly the future as a standard CM release. Seems like it would be far better to try to make the code fit within Cyanogen's parameters.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I couldn't agree more, but as stated by Cyanogen and the rest of the team, they are not going to support the Galaxy S lineup due to to many changes in the framework. I'm not very knowlegable in the departement, but I think that is the main reason why they are not going to mess with Samsungs messed up code writing with something that HTC and other companys seems to stay constant with.
[Epic 4G General] herzzreh:
It really is a shame, but from what I've read, it's the other way around.
[Epic 4G General] hazridi:
As a developer, I find it hard to apply blame here.

Noob produces stuff that works, and appears to be his primary focus. CyanogenMod is geared towards creating an opensource multiple device Android distribution, and for them it's far more important to minimize their development time by creating code that works on all devices, while Noob's stuff is mostly probably a huge collection of various hacks that just aren't fit for merging into the main CM project and were done with the limited development time of a one-man development effort to just get CM working.

At this point Noob is probably a bit burnt out and doesn't feel like rewriting all of his code to fit upstream's (CM) various project rules.

Perhaps the best way through would be to slowly attempt to migrate these hacks into a framework that would work across galaxy s class phones while keeping the unofficial status for the time being. I'm not really familiar with Samsung's RIL layer so I can't provide a technical analysis of the problems involved with doing that -- the way it operates might require a hefty bit of rewriting the core CM sources as well, and that would be pretty difficult to coordinate.
[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
agreed even if noobl did the cm code process that does not mean cm7 would be easy, go take alook at the nexus one forums people have 2.3 have have various issues like calls not going through and such
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
If the Cyanogen team is not going to support the Galaxy S lineup, why wouldn't noobnl get together with the rest of the people porting CyanogenMod over to the other Galaxy S devices and create a branch of their own that DOES deal with the modified frameworks?
[Epic 4G General] joshottley:
Called a fork. And it happens. This could be the beginning of it. Who knows. Would be awesome though.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Great idea,Noobnl should create a "Samsung Cyanogen Team".

Noobnl,Eugene373,ChefzReloaded and the rest of developers they have on Fascinate/Captivate forums.

Word,this needs to happen ASAP.Im tired of HTC getting all the glory.

Man,you came up with the best idea-lets hope it happens.Now that I think about it,there is no similar hardware like Galaxy S has on different carriers.This could be even bigger than regular Cyanogen or anything else!

would like to see an updated alpha/beta of this

nice to see its still being worked on :D
[Epic 4G General] jirafabo:
Very, very nice to hear. Hoping Santa brings me CyanogenMod for Epic for Christmas! Was just playing around with my old Hero and loaded 6.1 on it and boy how I miss CM. Can't wait and thanks so much for the update.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
? Confusion ? Do you mean your hoping for CyanogenMod for Epic and loaded it on your old Evo? Dyslexia strikes again.

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
Awesome awesome awesome. I can't wait for this as I've been craving a good AOSP ROM.

For all those mentioning 4G... forget it, it's likely not going to happen and definitely shouldn't be a priority as this point in my opinion, it's not like 4G is that amazing and coverage isn't that good. It looks like once Audio and Sound is working it's pretty much a fully functional Cynagen. That's amazing and Audio is probably right around the corner.
[Epic 4G General] dangdang:

[Epic 4G General] jok3sta:
What's so great cm? Im just curious.. this is my first android device and im always hearing about it. Whats the difference between this and say a dk28 custom rom. Someone school me

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g
[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
CM is pure aosp froyo without all the touchwiz and bloatware and is packed with alot of awesome features and is pretty freakin fast.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
CGM is as close to a 'pure' android experience as you can get. This results in what is effectively the fastest and smoothest UI out there. Its as close as we can get to having a Nexus One or Nexus S without having to buy one. Its 'teh sex' as they say.
[Epic 4G General] danahern:
Copied from their wiki:

CyanogenMod is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for select Android devices. Based on the Android Open Source Project, CyanogenMod is designed to increase performance and reliability over Android-based ROMs released by vendors and carriers such as Google, T-Mobile, HTC, etc. CyanogenMod also offers a variety features & enhancements that are not currently found in these versions of Android.

You can read up on it here:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=FAQ

In a nutshell, it's just a much better experience than something based off of a custom DK28 rom, which at it's core is usually filled with non-aosp things such as the dialer, menus, notification bars, etc.
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
I'm not the type to press for a release, but I like to tinker and it would be cool to see a beta release of this, with the proper disclaimers of course, so those of us savvy enough can check it out. I understand the reasons against releasing it to but just thought I'd ask :)
[Epic 4G General] danahern:
I don't think anyone is going to be releasing it to test until the main issues are worked out, however they are doing it totally open source so you can grab the files and build it yourself. Depending on your tech savvy this might be something you may want to tinker with, looking at the source and building it, or you could end up doing something wrong and bricking your device.

(Sorry about the links, still unable to post them, Just copy and paste them)

All the source repositories that the Galaxy S team is using:

github.com/cmsgs

Directions on how to build (that may or may not work, I haven't actually gone over them, but at the bare minimum it looks like it will help you setup the environment).

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_from_source

Also you can follow the progress on twitter by following

twitter.com/CMSGSTeam

If this all looks complicated I would hold off for a few days, I've been following the progress and it looks like the Galaxy S team and more specifically noobnl have been moving at a pretty good pace.

Nah,first time I heard of it.They musta just formed it because we not seeing the results for none of Galaxy S's yet.

What is HiAPK?Is it like Chinese Cyanogen?

I found very little info on it thats in english.Its gotta be something big because ES File Manager asks to choose between CM or HiAPK when gaining root.
[Epic 4G General] Phasma343:
It was formed about 6 months ago when these phones got released

[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
Hopefully I don't get flamed for asking.

But where does 4g support land on the priority list? Hi/medium/low? Just curious as I live in NYC and have it, and as it is 10 to 20 times faster than 3g, don't really want to go without it.

I did search for 4g in the thread, but as the phone itself is named 4g and seemingly everyone has it in their signature, well you get my point lol.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
Probably not really on the map as of yet. We've got to get everything else working before we move towards that.

And honestly; unless we get this officially supported by the CM team..we may never see 4g for it.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
As soon as MMS gets fixed I'm going to be rocking this daily! Can't wait for the new release and am wondering wat Samsungjohn contributed.
[Epic 4G General] wjohnson1186:
4G may come in the future... but it's not right now...

I have asked about this a few times to Noobnl and the its a project for the future. First they need to get the full Cyanogenmod rom working. Then after that they might do it, and it's something he said they are looking into. The evo is the only one that has it so far. I asked about porting that code or what not over and they can't because its a hardware issue. So it will take some time, and as always. Don't ask for eta's. I just brought the conversation up casually. For now, enjoy a good working rom that should have more updates coming soon it seems.
[Epic 4G General] tnynyn:
Looks like MMS is fixed in the twitter post :) cant wait for the final version.
[Epic 4G General] mdlonghorn:
Quick question

I saw that Bluetooth is fixed, but I still have audio issues. I wasn't sure if the bottom of your post was current or not.

Bluetooth works, but HEAVY static
[Epic 4G General] TheDub:
MMS is still the single thing keeping me back from attempting to use this as a daily driver :) can't wait. The twitter post does seem to confirm this is fixed.. maybe he will spoil us with beta 2 tonight.

Can anyone else using it give a quick update on the other bugs? Is the in-call volume fixed? Also I'm not sure what the audio routing bug is?

Looks like the code changes are committed... could just sync the repo and compile yourselves if anyone is interested lol... if only my USB would work through fricken Virtualbox so I could get the proprietaries :D I would be compiling away.
[Epic 4G General] m4zt3r:
does the new beta 1 require the eb13 modem/kernel?

I am running DK28 rom and kernel on ext4 but dont want to flash the eb13 kernel/modem.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
I don't think you need the new modem, but it is super easy to flash... don't know why you wouldn't.

Instructions are here.

The kernel you need is on the same page with the link to the ROM.
[Epic 4G General] m4zt3r:
My computer is win 7 64bit and it wont recognize my epic. So anytime i need to use ODIN i have to borrow a friends comp with 32bit. SO i dont want to go through the trouble of borrowing a computer right now to flash the EB13 stuff.

Plus I just wanted to run CM to see what it looks like, etc, then flash back to a DK28 build after i check it out.

Thanks :)
[Epic 4G General] ipaq3115:
Ah, well I'm pretty sure it'll work, worst that will happen is won't be able to connect to data.
[Epic 4G General] abrognlie:

[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Yes Odin works perfect on my windows 7 64 I've odined about 7 times on that computor and it hasn't failed once.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Same here, no problems with Odin and 64 bit Win 7. Would check if the right USB phone drivers were downloaded and installed (there is a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version)
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Try different USB ports on your 64 bit computer PC, and/or a different cable. If the drivers are installed correctly, that should fix your problem.
[Epic 4G General] crayak:
There are window 7 64bit drivers for the Epic. I'm running windows 7 64
[Epic 4G General] xddcrazy:
just make sure your drivers are right. you can find them in almost every guide.

I have reinstalled the drivers, etc.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Samsung drivers are different the the standard Android drivers.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Ya, would seem like he would want to release the version with MMS fixed. Hopefully he drops it soon, maybe someone can compile it for us if not.

not a complete fix.

Supposedly, from what a friend of mine who knows a lot about the androids and has an AOSP version of FroYo on his Evo (That I THINK he made himself), the WiMax on the Galaxy S phones is a TON easier to work with than that in his Evo.
