While working on CM with noobnl and forcystos I was doing pure aosp builds on the side motsly as a comparision to trouble shot problems we were having with CM like sound and the camera things like that alot of things in aosp just plain old worked right out of the box like the keyboard even though the screen rotation didn't work and wifi worked, bluetooth didn't work but that was probably a simple fix somewhere something probably wasn't set to the right permissions. The radio worked for calling to some extent you could call out without a problem incoming calls had issues being that you couldn't answer it but the biggest problem was/is data this is where the stock code was modified in CM and I used some of these same code changes in my aosp builds but if we had a couple of people that could code we can take the changes to the stock code and add them in so that the stock defaults are not changed then pushing those changes to the CM team to have them look them over and give the thumbs up or thumbs down on if it is how they want it done or not. This could be done with 2.2 or 2.3 although I think a pure google aosp build of 2.3 would be a bit tougher to start out with due to 2.3 using a different kernel then 2.2 uses. It all comes down to what seems to be a lack of enough people with the time and skill to do the work, also there isn't a whole lot of info to work with when starting out there are threads here and there on how to get a dev enviroment setup and rough builds of android done but they don't really go into the detail thats needed to really help someone get started with it.And even googles dev site is pretty sparse for useful information from what I have read on it, it takes it from the point of view that the reader already knows what hes doing so I can understand the confusion of people that want to help but don't know where to start its not a small task at all building android from code and its even bigger when you need to modify code and modify it in a way that doesn't break the source tree in the case of CM. In an aosp build for one phone I supposed you could get away with making changes to the stock defaults is it the right way to do it who knows but if it is CM it's definitely not the right way to do it. I really wish I knew more about coding myself so I could lend a hand at it becuase I really would like to see a true CM team backed port of CM6 and CM7 on the epic.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
Yeah thats kinda it in a nutshell but alot of that is more for gingerbread as it uses the 2.6.35 kernel which will be really hard for us to get unless Samsung does a port of GB for us and gives us kernel source for it. Samsung has moved some of there drivers into the mainline kernel source code in 2.2 so those would also be in the 2.3 kernel but other important drivers like the rfs drivers are closed source drivers that we can never get source code for. There are other possible driver issues that might need to be tackled along with it I think that noobnl has tried to start on a port of CM7 and I think it has issues with the radio due to drivers that we would need from the 2.6.35 kernel but I could be wrong on that so at best it would have to be a modified port of 2.3 but I would think with the right people it would be possible.If they can get 2.2 and 2.3 running on the hero without a 2.2 or 2.3 official release anything is possible.Hell looking at some of the hero builds they are using the eclair kernel source for 2.2 and 2.3.

Again I haven't really spent too much time looking, but I do like to read and learn.

If you have any resources you'd like to share for a beginner I'm all for it.

I'm kind of assuming that it would make since to do a lot of the work from linux rather than windows (maybe that's a wrong assumption).

Also thank you for enlightening me to some of this, and for the work you have done.

[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
I wish I did but what i know I learned from diving in and trying this and that to find out what worked and what didn't. I have been a linux user for many years so getting the dev enviroment setup wasn't any problem and android being based on linux made it a bit easier to understand it.The tough part is learning how to build it from source.

This kinda got me started with building android although its for 2.1 and doesn't use and specific devices files so it will only build a generic build of android.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/android-2-1/(how-to)-compile-android-2-1/

This is more specific to CM but I am not sure how up to date it is.

http://cmsgs.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Build_CyanogenMod_for_Samsung_Epic

This is a bit more indepth but not much more but if you do it right you might be able to get something working from it.This all has to be done in linux windows can't handle it.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
One thing I don't understand. We have source for the 2.1 kernel right? So why couldn't we start from there?

But if worse came to worse with some modifications it could be used. Both the CM ports and aosp froyo on the hero use the eclair kernel.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
i'll weigh in. the only thing i'm not sure of is why the epic is getting little to no (closer to "no" obviously) interest/support from the already existing CM team/network. its a fabulous phone with great strengths over other devices supported by CM. i mean we've all mentioned the hero, wtf does that need CM7 for? are people still USing that thing with the variety of newer awesome-er phones out there?

so that i dont get. i DO get CM's reason for not officially "sanctioning" unofficial builds and having standards which have to be met in order to be under the CM brand and i think thats a good thing. they arent "shunning" the cmsgs team as much as they're saying that the work does not conform to standards, follow the rules and welcome to the team.

so that makes me question why noobnl and the others have gone the route they are going. i'm not saying either way i think its right or wrong, dont really care. just wondering if they knew and chose their route or if they just didnt know, altered the code, and then official CM said they were out of line. i too would think it would be better and faster to play by the rules and possibly get more help from the CM community. definitely the more heads the better.

that being said, i dont think anyone can say whether our unofficial port will be any better or worse than official CM, i dont think it needs their stamp to be badass. its aosp and really is a port of what CM has posted so its goign to rock, i know a lot of people are already running the betas.

so i guess in short i'm just wondering why we are where we are, ESPECIALLY with the shorter number of devs, i would think posting to the CM source tree would make this thing go faster for all. it is sad the epic fell in the shadow of the evo when its such a better machine.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
Skeeter,

One thing I don't get from this thread; it's implied but not directly stated.

Would it be possible to develop a version of CM for this phone that DOES conform to Cyanogen's specs? Or does Sammy hardware/drivers make this impossible?

Also curious, is the CM code well commented?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] skeeterslint:
Yes is the code added does not change the stock CM source code in any way it can be done.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
From my perspective I really don't care if it is backed by the the original CM team or not. What I want is a working CM version and don't care who makes it. Whwat.

Sent from Bonsai v 5.0.3
[Epic 4G General] dtownsend:
It'll get backed eventually, they are just hacking on the source right now. They will eventually just need to pull their patches together in a form that can be commited to the CM repo. It's a pretty normal part of the development cycle.

Ok, this is a Rom that I cooked up for myself... not for anyone else, but people keep asking me for it, and where they can get it so I guess here it is... LOL... I like color, and most have no color, and are boring... also added couple of Dancing Droid Live wallpapers, that are in all my roms... and will be adding my bAdDroid boot screen, but that is not in the Rev...

Like I said this is MY ROM... I have taken anything and everything out of it that I don't use, if you want something added, then add it... I don't use FaceBook, Twitter, FriendStream... I have real flesh and blood friends... but if you use them... Flash them... LOL... this version DOES NOT have an app folder with what I took out... next version will have it... just didnt have time before I am taking off for the weekend... SORRY... LOL...

Make sure you wipe everything... And like all roms, you are doing this at your OWN RISK... But I have flashed the final copy a few times just to check and make sure its all ok and it's being a "good" bAdDroid.... LOL...

If anyone wants to change something and post it, won't bother me in the least...

SOOOOOOoooo... Without further a due... Let me give you bAdDroid 1.1...

Probably not. Dev seems savvy enough to know not to include paid apps in his ROM.

Actually, there are about 7 paid apps in this rom, one of them being the ADW Launcher EX. If you uninstall it during updates, you have no launcher. Found that out the hard way. I uninstalled the other paid apps I don't use.

I miss the contacts sync function of the HTC Facebook app. A majority of the contact photos I use were in there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I have been using the music app for my phone, and it's been working great. Except for one issue.

For some reason, my phone likes to relabel my ID3 tag for Muse with "The Muse". How do I stop it from doing this? I've been using MusicMod (Cyanogen's thing), WinAmp and PlayerPro, and all three do the same thing. Opening it on my computer shows the ID3 tag as untouched, and still reads "Muse".

Any experience or ideas?

EDIT: Yes, I'm pedantic. Yes, this is important to me, so don't just start flaming me for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnemonicj:
That's weird because I have 5 Muse albums and none of the songs' ID3 tags are labeled like that. What are you using to view the MP3 ID3 tags on your computer? In MP3 tags, there seems to be two Artist fields, Contributing Artist and Album Artist. Make sure they both say Muse.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I have done this. I use Mp3tag, iTunes, Winamp and Doubletwist. The tags show up fine there and in Windows 7. Only on the phone is it messed up.

Both blanks say "Muse".

Please use better thread titles in the future...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Never mind - judging from your other posts where you mention "rooted tab" and "rooted droid one" I presume you are not talking about an Eris. Later.

First, are we talking about an Eris here or an Eris ROM? I'm not grokking "gingerbread rom for droid 1" in the context of an Eris forum.

Having said that, the Eris STOCK Recoveries have all used splash screen images that involved a triangle with an ! (exclamation mark) inside of them, as in:

http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx209/erisuser1/recovery_boot/RecoverySplashComparison-small.jpg

But, the only way that would end up on the phone is if you:

(a) somehow flashed a factory ROM (or the "FlashBack21" ROM) back to the phone -or-

(b) rooted in a way where you did not install a custom recovery.

So, back in your court with 3 questions:

1) Are we talking about an Eris here?

2) What ROM are you talking about?

3) If it is an Eris, what method did you use for rooting, and what custom recovery did you put on your phone, if any?

Problems with my clockwork mod.

I was wondering if you could help me out.

I tried to install clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 in froyo and what's happening now is everytime I try to reboot into clockwork recovery it gets stuck.

it's no longer showing the green recovery but the orange one. However it freezes right there, the up and down options dont work. The only way to get it running is by taking the battery out and then turn it back on.

The error message that shows right below the orange clockwork mod says:

I have tried to wipe the cache and system, and solo deleted storage (hard reset)... but same point. I think that if i can put a update.zip on the sdcard i can flash it... but at the moment i don't have a sd card reader. Is the phone dead? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaymondErasmus:
No your phone isnt dead ;)

1. If you have a nandroid on your sd card just enter hboot and recover your system.

2. Otherwise you can perform an md5 check of the rom you downloaded and wish to flash. (just to make sure its not corrupted, i suppose your trying to flash leedroid) Enter hboot wipe everything >system wipe>cache>dalvic and then relash the rom. Oh and make sure your sd card is partitioned correctly ... a2sd, D2EXt ...

3. If problem persists go into hboot mount your phone as storage copy another rom you would like to try and then flash this, you can just follow the steps in no2 abouve again.

This should solve your problem!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dieg86:
The thing that i have done BAD is the format of the card... or better, i have done right things but i'm almost sure something was wrong. I formatted it from gparted, then created a 3GB FAT32 partition, and with the remaining space i created a ext4 partition. Then, i moved the files needed for the rom that i wanted to flash (MIUI) in the fat32 partition, as i seen that the ext4 part was mounted read only (dunno why).

IMPORTANT: I have done all this mounting the SD card via Clockwork recovery.

When i selected the voice "flash a zip selecting from memory card" (or something :))... it said "cannot find a valid zip".

Then the only choice for me was to reboot and... that is :(

Now i cannot mount SD, as i don't have (at home) a SD card reader and i don't have access to CWM recovery.

So I see that Superclean 2.2 is out for EB01. I am a bit new to all of this and have had awesome success flashing to Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo and installing some themes.

If I want to try out voodoo, do I just need to flash Superclean 2.2 Voodoo version via ROM Manager? Or, do I have to install Superclean 2.2 Voodoo and then go install the stock EB01 Voodoo Kernel as well?

Also, since I am already running Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo. When I go to flash the voodoo version, do I have to wipe all cache and data?
