Tested the netflix app on this and it didn't work. I also tried spoofing the build.prop and that didn't help. Although netflix does work on the Leaky Gingerbread rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Thanks for the update! Really appreciate it and the work you guys are doing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Update:

Merge to teamhacksung is pretty much done. Checkout branch "teamhacksung-merge" in the device repo and in the newly forked proprietary_vendor repo.

Problem is proprietaries from aries aren't compatible with our builds right now, probably due to missing/outdated headers/drivers in kernel.

Our main focus from now is going to be setting up .35, after that, everything should fall into place.

Also, I checked out wimax stuffs for crespo4g.. shouldn't be too hard to merge.

If you want to build cm7 at the current state we have it at (segfaults due to incompatible egl) you can checkout the default.xml from the EpicCM android.git

Ok, that's about it. Checking out for the night.

Thanks for the update I'm excited :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
yay for merging!... does this mean more source and possible fixes? also very glad to see you in this forum Decad3nce, your hero kernels kept mine usable for quite some time until I bricked it with an experimental CWM and formatting things that one aught not format.

Someone should tease us with a new build. Every time I try to build it, my computer fails with some environmental variable or dependency issue and I get all pissed off that I can't figure out why it's complaining and I give up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mutiny32:
And is it just my phone, or does anyone else's phone use WAY less battery in WiMAX mode vs. CDMA 3G mode? Also, 3G CDMA mode makes the phone get really hot compared to WiMAX/WiFi.

You just got the progress report. If nothing was mentioned about the camera then the answer is no.

No really.... they merge into another branch wich had more things working ... not saying that they got it fix...... but they working on it ..... if everything fall in place ... we might( not saying we will) see some builts ;-)

So with ACS getting the EE03 leak hopefully that helps us CM efforts
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
EE03 leak????
[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
Go look in general their waiting for an ok froma source to release EE03 to us but they already have it. Netflix and all working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rufflez2010:
Cool, running ed12 and netflix works as well. No mods needed... just a bir buggy. Heres to hoping ee03 performs better
[Epic 4G Android Development] bohiti:
They've said before it doesn't help, I believe. Probably a) because no related source and/or b) reluctant to use unofficial potentially buggy components.

It looks like they're making great progress otherwise though. At least for other galaxyS phones. I think the epic is stuck a bit futher behind.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
Could be that epic is cdma...
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
CDMA has always been the bastard child of Android Development (at least in the CM7/AOSP world).

The Nexus S 4G I believe marks the first CDMA phone ever AOSP'ed... I hope that this means CDMA development gets a bit easier for the Dev's that have been trying so hard to get CM7 going and approved... but who knows.. gotta wait and see.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
Any of the stock samsung builds won't help much because touchwiz is incredibly integrated into everything, mms.apk the dialer, camera app IIRC among other things. You are better off crossing fingers than the Nexus S 4G is mostly the same hardware.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
So then ed12 is no good now after this ee03 comes out so is this official or what
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Still a leak
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
A leak with everything working.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Yeah it was kinda funny lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
I'm sure this was asked already but I'm at work and can't scrub through all the pages. Is this currently being built for 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

I figured as long as the devs are still doing their thing, I'd take the opportunity to ask before an update posts
[Epic 4G Android Development] bohiti:
If I'm not mistaken, the latest cm builds for any supported device is 2.3.4.

For what its worth, they've gotten the gsm Galaxy S devices merged to mainline today, being the first full initial support as far as I can tell. Epic has a ways to go though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Captivate is actually the only one merged into mainline so far. Hopefully the rest will follow.

We got the Nexus S .35 kernel booting last night. We need to triple check our mtd blocks, and we may have a new Alpha for you all in the next few days.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Great news! But I wouldn't have said anything with how impatient people on here are...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
nullghost, I was getting worried, as there has not been much new posted. I appreciate what you guys are doing on this, and am very excited for it.

I dont expect you guys to update us with every little thing, I just check everyday and love it when I see progress.

Thanks again (button hit)!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Good stuff.

Does the kernel build with what is in the git repo or is there code not yet merged into github?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
The teamhacksung kernel build script uses vars set by the android build system. Check out this post of my build thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11809570&postcount=2

Please read that whole post start to finish, especially the finish. :)

At this point in time, all our code is on github. We're not holding any commits back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Art2Fly:
For some reason whenever I see a dev say "we" I imagine the whole cm7 team working on one very old (green screen) computer with flopies everywhere....

But what if I enjoy shinny doorstops?!?!

Are we talking permabrick-not-coming-back-to-life-without-a-jtag or just bricked enough that I can recover with Heimdall/Odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
What's a jtag?
[Epic 4G Android Development] LakersEB:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/jtag-your-captivate-god-like-soldering-skills-not-required/
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
We're talking potentially overwriting your primary and secondary bootloaders. To the point that you'd be very lucky if jtag works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
The vibrant, captivate and i9000 just got official CM7 support today.

http://phandroid.com/2011/05/19/cyanogenmod-7-comes-to-a-handful-of-new-samsung-devices/
[Epic 4G Android Development] nlinux:
There are zero bootloaders required for jtag programming, it writes directly to the chip, so unless the flash chip is fried, jtag will reprogram it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
Cool. It is worth noting that the Captivate's version of CM7 began development around.... August of last year? So it took roughly one year for CM7 to go from inception to final. It's reasonable to assume that the Epic will take just about as long to become final, get merged into the official branch, and become stable.

Just thought I would point this out for folks who keep asking/wondering when all the major bugs in our CM7 will be fixed. Don't hold your breath, basically. Nothing against the devs, of course, it's just how long this sort of thing takes.

Although as a disclaimer, I may not be totally accurate about when the Captivate's rom began development. And the development process itself may have been much different.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
Good news and thanks for the update.

Has everything up to Alpha 4 been using the stock Epic kernel so far?
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
It was using the froyo kernel not gb the gb kernel will get things working quicker hopefully ;) ...am I right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
Right, thats what I was asking, is if it was the Froyo kernel.

And no, the Nexus S kernel won't help because the main issue right now is missing code for proprietary Samsung drivers and devices. All this kernel addition does is bring everything more up-to-date (i think).

The only two things that will help with the camera, MMS, and other bugs are:

- the new hacksung code (which the devs are still working on implementing and seeing how much it will help)

- official Epic Gingerbread source code straight from Samsung

...at least that's what I've gathered from READING THE DAMN THREAD

;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
TeamHacksung's Nexus S kernel fork has ways of getting around some proprietary modules, specifically the BML/FSR and RFS modules. The NS4G has the same modem chip as the rest of the CDMA SGS devices, so we should be able to kang some of their files to get RIL working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
A glimmer of hope in a forum filled with doom and gloom. I hope the hacksung sources help you guys some. I can't wait to see the results. Keep up the good work, we really appreciate you guys doing it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
Yeah once cameras up I'm in ;)

Realllllly...hmm so the ns4g may in fact prove to be useful.

So, the next question is, will kanging it potentially enable wimax..

[Epic 4G Android Development] victorythagr8:
Im sorry but the Sprint HTC hero, Verizon Motorola Droid 1(i know this for sure because i had the OG droid and had CM5,6, and 7 on it), Droid Incredible, EVO 4g all were CDMA phones that had CM7 official and had CM since froyo. Nexus S is nowhere near the 1st AOSP'ed CDMA phone. Actually clockwork recovery started on the DROID and that Koush was the main developer on the first droid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] i n00b teh pwns:
I'm pretty sure he meant that it was the first CDMA phone that was intended to be AOSP....
[Epic 4G Android Development] beno*:
I believe the OG Droid was the first AOSP intended phone, 'Google Phone', on CDMA
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
This is becoming ot but. The og droid 1 came with true aosp android 2.0 and was upgraded to vanilla android 2.1 then later 2.2 .

Back on topic, I think we really should be more vocal in praising our devs I don't want to see this community lose another dev again. Nullghost thank you keeping us up to date and thank you to the entire epicCM team for this awesome project!
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheDub:
I meant the Nexus is the first CDMA phone that is not just an AOSP build but has 100% of the source code freely available from Google. I by no means meant it's the first phone with a stock android build, or the first CDMA phone to have any kind of AOSP/CM7 support..

It also wasn't a suggestion that the Nexus was somehow better... correct me if I'm wrong but did any other CDMA phone have a 100% source code drop? Aka not just the Kernel but the entire operating system. If yes I stand corrected.

And by bastard child I meant the obvious, GSM gets everything first typically, CDMA follows if it's lucky. Same applies to CM7 here... the GSM Galaxy S phones are now official, and people can only hope the CDMA versions are shortly as well.

Try not to get so offended ;) simple misunderstanding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
Ahem...
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
So what happened to the @TeamEpicCM7 twitter account? :( Been over two months with no news despite a bunch being made on here! Not that I'm really complaining, but rather just pointing out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] icreative:

[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
Twitter would just be a repost of their github commits so it's pointless.

Stop asking for ETA's, it's the main rule of this thread, Cyanogen, and any ROM.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bender_123:

We must go deeper...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
I hope you are being facetious. Considering you can check https//github.com/epicCM
[Epic 4G Android Development] readingkeeper:
So with all these new additions, are we still at the permabrick stage, or is it safe to compile yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] amirite:
The build thread would be the one to check for that onformation. And since the OP hasn't changed, I'd say the answer is no!
[Epic 4G Android Development] jm5503:
Thinking about getting an Epic instead of a nexus s.....how close is this to being fully functional?? I figure if this is running good on the epic then there is no real benefit in buying a Nexus
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
I've got a serial debugger and two days off work after today. As soon as we get the kernel booting fully we should have something for you. Please take note, this is not an ETA or a promise. Two days off doesn't necessarily mean a working kernel :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
But it does make me damn excited ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jm5503:
Sounds good enough to me.......I hope this project doesn't get left behind before we get a fully working rom

[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Nice to hear u guys are making progress. I had a question. It will still be OK to flash it with the ee03 modem right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
It should work with any of the modems. Eb13, ec05 or ee03 should work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
All eb13+ modems
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Cool thanks guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
If there are other things you guys need to get this done, please let me know. The Epic is an amazing piece of hardware with the world's worst software running on it. I'd gladly pay $100 to make my wife's $200 purchase worthwhile.

Thanks for all your hard work, and short of a donation once this moves to production (which is obvious), please DM me if I can help monetarily in any way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
Just out of curiosity, what makes the epic so much harder to develop stable roms for than all the other phones out there? I just put cm7 on a friends evo today, and man is it nice!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
If you find it necessary to donate, pass the money on to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. http://www.eff.org/
[Epic 4G Android Development] Decad3nce:
Proprietary bits, and samsung has never really had a "home" in cm7 so a lot of the "hacks" that were used for HTC devices can't really be used for the Epic :/

What makes it worse is that Epic(Victory) is the bastard step sister of the galaxy s line. Many differences in the kernel so .35 is becoming a much bigger bother than we first anticipated.

Crespo4G has solved a lot of problems for us, and teamhacksung's help has been invaluable
[Epic 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
How is the project doing as of now?

I'll be moving from an evo to an epic to keep entertained until the Evo 3D and will definately try to contribute to this project if its within my abilities, I'm an HTC guy so definately no promises lol.

Edit: Do you have a source download?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
Thanks for all the hard work guys, I really appreciate it. As a college student in this economy money is tight but if I like it enough once it hits Beta (I use my camera frequently) I will toss a few bucks your way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lynyrd65:
I appreciate all your efforts. Thank you for helping our community!
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Wouldn't the 'hacks' just be code you guys generated to make it work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
You make it sound so simple lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
I'm already an EFF supporter, but I'll surely add once this hits a stable release. Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] odub303:
Guys, this question has been asked and answered numerous times just in this thread. Luckily, nullghost and decad3nce are nice guys who won't rip you for not reading the thread before asking that kind of question. I, on the other hand, am not, so please at least skim the thread or try a simple search or two before asking this kind of stuff. It bumps the thread and gets everyone's hopes up for news.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxPatlick:
my understanding of the 2100+ posts in this thread:

50% people asking silly questions that are all some form of "when will it be done" or "why isn't it done"

49% people replying to said silly questions with varying degrees of hostility ranging from "we don't know and can't possibly know" to "**** you for even asking!"

.09% useful information

.01% me being an ass :]

imo, to tell someone to read all 2100 posts in this thread at this point is just mean.. if there is any useful information between posts #2 and #2101, I'll eat my hat (I'm not wearing a hat)
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Actually, .05% of them are you being an ass.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Not to add to this obvious trolling, but would you like me to give you the post numbers with useful information? Or should I assume you are going to not follow through with eating your non-existent hat?

I just want to know what lies in the remaining 0.9%...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MaxPatlick:

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Relax...people get their panties all up in a bundle over stupid things, so I try and throw a bit of comic relief in there every now and then.

Decompiling and modifying the stock rom with a script is not the same as building from source. Thanks for playing.

I, for one, still keep my eyes locked on this ROM. CM7 is by far going to be the best ROM the Epic 4G will ever have, and will bring much more development to theming and tweaks for this phone.
