They could, of course, be older than that and knowingly are misleading their readers for whatever purpose they have in mind. This is the internet, after all.

Yeh, they're not 11. The voice that post was written in sounds too old. Probably just another way of saying "we have jobs so don't bother us".

I did some C programming for a robot when I was a freshman in high school. Realized that coding wasn't my thing though, and I've forgotten most of what little C I learned and a lot of HTML/CSS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Well I'm 14 and I'm learning to code... one step at a time though I'm doing themeing first and then so on.

[Epic 4G Android Development] LiberatorUSA:
USB driver anyone?

The modem is flashed into a partition specific to the modem firmware. By compiling I assume you mean flashing.

The reason why some who got DK28 have a broken USB and other dont can be as simple as a tiny hardware revision difference in for example the USB port circuitry making it incompatible or perhaps some bug in DK28 which has a chance of ending up in the wrong location inside the firmware image based on where you have bad sectors etc etc. Could be anything. Doesnt really matter though. We just have to either load a different USB driver runtime (ideally during dowload mode off course), even if it doesn't persist, as long as one would be able to use Odin that session.

You can change the other partitions and it will stick. You just have to use the right tooling which will persist the changes from a temporary location onto the actual storage location in the phone.

In the case of a modem this means either using Odin (which needs USB to work) with the phone in download mode or use CWM which requires a delta patch which does not exist as far as we know for DK28.

So to get back to my original question,...

How does the USB driver fit into all this? Where is it and where does it come from?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fade4005:
At 11 I was writing code for an Apple 2 plus... man do I feel old. Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
A lot of it's memorization and understanding the concepts. For ex. a really simple code like:

<a href="kdjfsldkfjdsf.com">Something</a>

is seared into my brain, lol.

But I used to know this kid who was ten and he was a genius when it came to coding.

So for those who say the kids are too young to do it, you'd be surprised.

The way they talk doesn't mean anything; I'm 14 and I attempt to speak a little more formal than most kids my age...

Has anyone else tried Skype (I hate it but am forced to use it for work...)? For me, it FCs upon login.

Also, has anyone tried pushing the new GTalk? Does voice-only chat work?

Cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I don't know if anyone forgot about this. But whenever I use the USB cable that came with my epic, it never works. But when I use the one that came with my wifes EVO, it works. So if youe having problems with your USB working, try using a different cable
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
There are no cameras so it wouldn't work.

The new gtalk is for the newest gingerbread build 2.3.4, cm7is 2.3.3
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Actually 2.3.4 was pushed to the repos yesterday or the day before. Building 2.3.4 right now
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Omg. Official cyanogen added some wimax stuff.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sarumont:
There is an APK + shared library floating around that allegedly works on 2.3.3 (here), so my curiosity is regarding whether the app will a) actually launch and function normally (chat) without functioning camera(s) and b) allow voice chat without video (or gracefully degrade, handling the fact that the camera doesn't work...).
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
So you're eluding to the possibility of having 4G working for CM7 sometime in the near future? Man, that would be great.

If they knock 4G off the list, that would leave Camera, MMS, and GPS as things still not working, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
No, just makes it easier for them to add 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
Love dis rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
Any body kno why da rom manager app not workin on the epic 4g.......?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
THE

Rom manage app doesn't work because we have a poorly coded clockworkmod recovery rather than the official one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
Thanks man I was a lil lost
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Just finish building 2.3.4
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
How is it running?

Note: I just discovered search works again. Yay.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
About the same as the last time I built it. Still the same big issues that Alpha 4 has.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Ohh I see so is just like alpha4 just. 2.3.4 now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
ok when i was done edit it made two files one name vold.fstab and other one vold.fstab.bak jus reboot or delete one
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
So far yes.

Camera FC's

MMS still fails

GPS Initializes but will not lock. Will try the fix that worked in ED12.

In call volume control does work. But it did in the last build I made as well.

SDcard mounts properly

No idea if the phone wakes properly on incoming call though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Just found a huge issue in the new build. Cannot hangup a call.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
The patch to DriverCall.java must have gotten messed up somehow then. It's pretty easy to patch manually, then just rebuild framework.jar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Could be the difference between uberpenguins ril patch and dameons too.

I applied uberpenguin's since it was a bit more recent with the changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
I really should fix my frameworks tree so you guys can use it too. I fixed most of the RIL issues some time ago, and keeping external patches around is soooooo messy ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
Does haptic feedback work on this ROM? Or the data traffic arrows? USB mass storage?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
As of alpha 4, haptic works except on capacitive buttons. Data arrows work. And usb mass storage does not.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
Thanks! I haz fixes for yous guys ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
YAY FIXES! I LOVE YOU! :D Im looking forward to this more than anything else at all :p

[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
So what fixes do you have? And also are you a part of the team or a random contributor?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
I will if nobody does before I get home.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boostedjti:
He's a fascinate dev who's done wonders for my phone...

Jt nice to see you jump over here to help as well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
Namely fixes for haptic and UMS. I dev for the fascinate personally. I wrote the majority of the cdma specific RIL fixes we're all using ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Awesome. Does that mean you can get haptic on the capacitive?? that really bugs me. And the UMS and MMS are the only 2 REAL problems i have with the alpha's. I could care less about any of the other problems :p Glad to see you here helping.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
99.9999% sure that the haptic feedback "fix" will work on *any* device. It's not a true "fix" in the real sense of the word, more of a "h@xxxxxx" :p , but it gets the job done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Since it is "more of a h@xxxxxx" does it break compliance? We ran into that issue with the CM6 builds and right now the team is working to maintain compliance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
It would certainly never be merged in with the mainline. I think the real issue is in the kernel somewhere. But, it's a simple 10 line hack that gets the job done, so...:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] maldito.boss:
How about mms?

Just asking don't mean to sound like demanding ....
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
Don't want to hijack a thread or dev, but any and all fixes would be welcome in the miui thread. It has all the same problems, but not as much support. Although haptic feedback works already.

Sent from bad to the bone Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Mind sending a patch my way for that? I wouldn't mind compiling and testing it out.

I agree it is something with the kernel. We are still using the older 2.6.32 kernel instead of the current 2.6.35
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
I love that the samsung/sprint ppl who's day jobs it is to get official gingerbread on the epic are still neck and neck with the cyanogen epic port team that does this on their free time. Thank you guys for your hard work it is very appreciated :-).
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
Samsung is much further along, have you tried leaky gingerbread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
And they are also not AOSP. No AOSP, no care.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Chabsin:
I've been checking thread daily for months. Hats off to the developers for everything that has already been accomplished.

But it's been months already without any major breakthrough, at least as for as us non -developers are concerned.

With new phones luring developers away, what are the chances this thing will ever get completed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DTgreat:
Uhhh....what?
[Epic 4G Android Development] apache2:
Haha. Exactly what he says.

At the pace this is getting developed, I'll be eligible to upgrade to a new phone before this is anywhere completed (many others, too).

Sad to say.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
K, have fun upgrading. Sorry we don't work on your time table.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
Deca stop posting and poleezing Hero forums and get to work on the Epic! Lol, I kid, dont hurt me...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
I just finished finals week. I haven't had time for anything. Not even "poleezing" hero forums.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
Thats good news then!
[Epic 4G Android Development] piscesjoey:
It's being built from the ground up, not just a port. Lots of Samsung proprietary files has to be replaces with AOSP files, & these files need to be coded, along with new drivers that goes with the proprietary stuff. Yes its a PITA, & yes its tedious, but the outcome will be glorious, & not only that, but it would make it very easier for future Android build releases.

EVO on Tapatalk
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Let's get the facts straight here, alpha 1 was released to the public march 14th. Yeah its may 6th......so its not even been months as you say. These guys have made tremendous strides and they continue to move forward, even with all the bs comments they get from all of us end users. End users that are extremely ungrateful for all their hard work. I however am very grateful these guys aren't giving up and they will succeed. You know why they'll succeed, because they are the CM7 epic team;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
The way I see it is any developer could be sitting at their house, working compiling cm7 for themselves, but the developers here have shared it with the public. Maybe they should have just kept it to themselves until they had it 100%. How would you like it then......you wouldnt have anything to complain about.
[Epic 4G Android Development] silver03wrx:
Agreed. They do this inthre spare time and sare it with us for free there not geting paid. Ppl who complain and are ungratefull should have there ip address logged and be bannd from downloading
[Epic 4G Android Development] bohiti:
I stopped following this development actively (IRC) a few months ago, so I should keep my mouth shut. But if I were to guess, I'd bet everyone is waiting on some combination of Nexus S 4g source release, and/or Epic official gingerbread release (+source). I'd think either/both will make things easier for this crew. I'm finding this to be the trend with android phones.. always waiting for the next big thing.

There. I've contributed nothing of value to this treat. Some combination of patient and anxious for CM7. Very jealous of my EVO friends.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
I had cm7 on my evo. It was nice, but my epic blows the evo out of the water as far as speed, graphics, battery, and well, everything else goes, on any rom except stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
Its a shame that the Samsung doesn't have a following that the HTC phones do. I honestly believe that this phone on EXT4 file system is a much better device than the Evo... BUT, the community kills it. I appreciate everything everyone has done here to make my Epic tolerable. But when I see that the Thunderbolt and GX2 have more functional CyanogenMod releases, it hurts. I feel like I made a bad decision back in August getting this device. One thing I've noticed is that the developers for HTC phones don't wait for HTC to get off their ass and release an official Gingerbread ROM to get it working. If they don't have source, they build the drivers themselves (hence why the Hero has full cyanogenmod 7 support despite HTC and Sprint stopping development at 2.1). I know for sure my next device will not be Samsung. They make great devices, but between them release official broken updates (EB13 and EC05 both have problems) and the community constantly waiting on them instead of doing their own development. I don't mean to put down the developers of CyanogenMod for the Epic. Without these guys, we wouldn't have ****. Thats why I honestly do thank them for making the device tolerable, cause this phone sucks balls stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
HTC also has Cyanogen as a developer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Chill out people. We have a LOT of things to do with NS4G kernel source before it will boot. We've made attempts at using CMSGS's NS kernel port, but power management fails to initialize. And with only one of us having a usb debugger, the rest of us are flying blind when it comes to fixing the kernel.

As for the other stuff: Yes, it would appear NS4G uses the same modem and wimax chip as the Epic. But we have to get it booting before the radio even becomes relevant. Even then, there's the issue of modem firmware; is NS4G libril compatible with Epic's modem.bin?

So please, just relax with the "Maybe when NS4G source drops..." talk. You're all going to convince yourself that you were promised a working CM7, when us developers have made very little, if any, mentions of ns4g source.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Are you kidding me??? REALLY!!??!!??!!

This is just sad, how can anyone sit there and complain about others not giving them enough of their free time??? I mean what the <bleep> these people that develop the software for our phones give and give and give and that is the reward ... why is it taking so long.

Go buy a book and learn to do it yourself and see what type of effort it takes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
My personal opinion is that the Epic is owned by a bunch of spoiled bratty 14 year olds who don't know how to respect people... Thats just my opinion though.....:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Chabsin:
Chill out guys. I have said nothing to imply that the developers aren't working hard enough, or that they don't deserve our fullest appreciation and Support.

But I do think we need to be realistic about what to expect. After the initial excitement when the first alpha was released so quickly, everyone thought things would continue to move very quickly. But it didn't and it won't. The small group of developers are doing the best they can, thank you very much. But, again, I for one wonder whether this project will ever become THE ultimate system for our phones we all hope(d) it will become.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sm_x:
The guy is simply complaining about those who are not helping. Not the other way around.
[Epic 4G Android Development] humdrum2009:
Look at it like this

ED12 is screwed up royally, and Samsung has everything they need to make it work.

Even with original source code its still a hard job.

If you want faster development? get an htc phone.

Bigger Dev community and more Roms than you can count.

Or wait out the epic team to finish what they can.

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
Or contribute. Or stfu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I'm wondering if anyone else besides the CM team is working on a CM7 based ROM. In theory couldn't a developer use the CM7 source code, but use non-open source code for things like MMS, Camera, etc?

Also, with MMS, would it be possible for an app to be developed that could possibly use the sprint picture mail website behind the scenes to send and recieve pictures?

Still working my way through the JAVA for dummies book.

One last question, every single other rom I've ever flashed, eventually starts randomly freezing my phone, sometimes an hour after I flash it, sometimes 4 days. Everytime I start with a fresh odin of eb13, oneclick root, wipe 3x, all that funky stuff, re-downloded odin, cwm, and the eb-13 tar, 2 seperate phones, every other rom always freezes, CM7 flashes perfect first time everytime and never freezes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I don't know much about java or android programming but it seems to me that it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to make an app, or a patch that logged on to the pictures.sprintpcs.com site and downloaded/sent pictures from there automaticly. Not complaining or anything, and I am reading some books to hopefully one day be able to do some programming, but it seems like it would be a relativly simple thing to tell the phone to log on to the sprint site and download or upload a picture and have that integrated into the stock mms app, or possibly a CM7 epic sms/mms app with the included patch or whatever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bricky23:
I agree! No one owes you anything!

How much does a usb debugger cost?

Or is it just an oscilloscope/etc... As in which one do you guys have/would a second one be of help? is there a better one? Its just a usb device simulator, with output you can read, correct?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
This
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
I'll be having one made soon, hopefully. I don't need the whole switch mechanism, I just want the right resistor spliced into the cable, I don't need car dock mode / etc. I'm hoping to keep the cost of it down.

so who do i donate to that needs a debugger
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll be buying it myself. I just need to get in contact with UberPinguin as soon as he's available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] i n00b teh pwns:
Maybe this has been covered, but I can't figure it out or find a solution. Whenever someone calls me, while I'm talking to them, I will hear a constant ringing, as in an old-school phone ringing. It makes taking calls absolutely unbearable. Is there a solution?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
+100,000,000
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jabrilli:
I get this same ringing when I get a call but idk where it comes from, it doesn't happen all the time tho.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shadomastr:
Just happened today to me... the ringing thing. Don't know why it started, but man was it annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] GucciPilot:
Been happening to me as well on alpha 1 (been using Alpha 1 since day 1, LED flash is a must have) and never happened before google voice integration. It only happens on some incoming calls and is rare.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jabrilli:
I think I get it when someone calls and my phone is on the charger, ill try and see if I can reproduce this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jt1134:
The phantom ringer issue is a RIL issue I've been dealing with for some time. It happens in strange cases where the incoming call parcel is not parsed correctly. Very difficult to narrow down :( If someone would be kind enough to capture a radio log from when the issue occurs, it would be very much appreciated since the issue is extremely difficult to reproduce.

Also, if someone would be able to test some gps files for me, it would be greatly appreciated as well :)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14764513/gps-stuff.zip

That is not a flashable zip, just remove the files and push them to /system/lib and /system/lib/hw respectively. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Downloaded and moved those files, no GPS. I just copied and pasted using root explorer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Did you by any chance reboot your phone after this process then initiate your gps again? My own personal curiosity.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SSMI:
I have a couple of questions. First is this going to make it into the mainline Cyanogenmod tree? I had a captivate and was running CM7 on it. I know they are working on it. Is that a goal of the epic version?

The second is if this will work with other carriers. I would like to flash an epic to another carrier, that is cheaper. Would the ROM still work then?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Yup, copied and pasted those files, re-booted and still no GPS, in google maps it says "Please enable a my location source in system settings"

Never used root explorer to copy and paste, so that may be the issue aswell, but it seemed to copy and paste with out issue.
