Should you flash A4, boot, then flash gaaps?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ttieder:
Edit file to what that is what I am asking
[Epic 4G Android Development] icreative:
NEXUS 4G, redownload gapps. If u buy root explorer, please flash CM7A4+gapps, open market and install rootexplorer. Open root explorer, and go to directory /system/etc/

in this directory please click button "mount r/w" and find file vold.fstab, long tap on it, and select edit. In this file delete all that comes after "...sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2". Rebbot device, and your sdcard is on (=

Sorry-4-my english.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndrewZorn:
Just found out about and installed Alpha 4... if nothing else, I need to say a pure black title bar on this phone looks so nice, thanks to the display.

Keep up the good work.

Does anyone know how to manually edit the list of "My Apps", which auto-download with the CM7 install? There's a bunch of old crap in there I do not want anymore, still hanging around...
[Epic 4G Android Development] LemonHead2089:
When I did it, I just installed Alpha 4 then ran gapps right after back to back. also tried flashing, rebooting, recovery and flashing gapps then reboot again, also worked.

heres the gapps that was on my sdcard. just worked literally 10 minutes ago. try clearing dalvik cache before hand just in case
[Epic 4G Android Development] icreative:
AndrewZorn, yes, plus i use honeycomb theme, it's so prety! ]=
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Everything ran, but

could not use phone to make calls or receive data

.

I'm a special case and on Cricket, so I had a feeling it would not work, due to having to setup proxies (or remove them). I know the Epic comes with a stock hidden menu that is entered from the dialer via ##DATA# -- this is how we generally have to modify the proxies for APN's, etc. Have these been hard-coded into CM7? Would love to have some CM7 on my Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Unfortunately those hidden menus are in samsung's touchwiz framework. Without TW source, we have no (viable/accessible) way of implementing them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndrewZorn:
The screen off also looks really really good with the pure blacks. I can't imagine it being cool with an LCD.

EDIT especially with lockscreen disabled. Wow. It's all so smooth, the CRT effect is very convincing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
this may have already been asked, but I just read through a few pages and didn't see it (sorry if I missed it)

do I flash this over alpha 3, over alpha 1, or independently?
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Is there anyway to actually implement variable APN's, etc? They were setup in my EC05 flash (thank God for CWM) correctly. There has to be some way to overwrite the APN's -- the radio WANTS to work -- I can see it trying to get a data connection, but I have a feeling it's trying to use Sprint's PRL's, etc, rather than Cricket's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nbutala:
iCreative, Where did you find a honeycomb theme that is compatible with cm7? Did you just flash the honeycomb theme designed for ACS and Bonsai? More generally, can we flash any cm7 theme that is listed under a different device? I know this is not advisale for other roms, but from my understanding cm7 is different in that functionality is supposed to be universal across devices.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Any way you please, it completely overwrites /system and kernel. Just wipe cache and dalvik-cache. Data wipe shouldn't be necessary, only if you run into trouble.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smugface:
I installed this last night and it worked fine until about 9 this morning. Then all I got was the Cyanogen loading screen. Any ideas why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
I just wiped cache, and dalvik and I have been at the cyanogen boot screen for over a minute so far.

How long should I wait? and what should I do?

EDIT - So rebooted to CWM and wiped everything 3x (incl Data) and reflashed Alpha 1 and Gaaps. And shabam! Loaded right up!
[Epic 4G Android Development] shiftr182:
The themes need to be ported over for this because the framework is built different. I ported the matted blues theme and peices from the dark horse theme both from the evo last week, it looks pretty sweet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Etrick:
Cm7 honeycomb theme is in the market.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sarumont:
I just shat a brick thinking my phone had died in the most horrible fashion. Then I realized that the screen off animation is the cat's pajamas. AWESOME work guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] GucciPilot:
Does any flashlight apps work in alpha 4? Alpha 3 broke that functionality, was wondering if it has been addressed.

Thanks once again for your amazing abilities and efforts!
[Epic 4G Android Development] notsosmrtgeek:
in the words of joe dirt " you should change your name to kickin ass i would" lol great work
[Epic 4G Android Development] >MR.T:
I had to move the alpha 4 zip out of my download folder to the root of my SD. I have flashed many ROMs before from folders but it was a no go for my phone with this one. Wiped cache and dalvik flashed rom and gapps (backtoback) and all is good. I came from alpha 1 and I had recently installed the sd card fix/speed up zip. All is good so far and yes I can see/ access SD. Thank you CM Team for your great work!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
You sir, get a "Thanks" for a solid Joe Dirt reference.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ttieder:
Does beautiful Widgets not work for this yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] terinfire:
Alright, tried it again after trying to use Titanium Backup to manually restore an APN Configuration Tool.

...but my SD Card wasn't recognized... Camera didn't work either and just locked up on a black screen.

Aside from that, phone calls did start working. Unfortunately data is still down. I guess I'll wait till it's just a bit more stable. I saw someone post about how to remount the SD Card earlier, but I'm kind of in a catch-22 in regards to being able to reactivate it. Will be waiting for a hopefully-more-stable beta.

We were only supposed to clear data, cache, then Dalvik, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] drewX2:
Just wanted to say that all the alphas have been great! There may be some hiccups here and there but overall very superb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
It works for me
[Epic 4G Android Development] abrognlie:
For those using Alpha 4, how is the keyboard working out? Any issues with missed keys like all the non-CM roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sm_x:
I know I might be asking too much, but can some one do an updated list of what works and what doesn't .
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
It has been a while since I tested CM.

Alpha 4 is superb, absolutely no qualms as far as usage so far. I'll back this up and use it every once in a while but sadly, I need camera for my job recently.

As to problems with Beautiful widgets, I had a not responding on the first boot and thought it was fuxored but I hit wait and let it do its thing and it works fine.

Again, really appreciate the work you guys are doing, sincerely impressed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nunchucker:
This runs so smoothly. I'm very impressed. The only bugs I've encountered so far are random shutdowns during things like calls and when unplugging the phone and trying to immediately use it.

Also, is there a way to restore Swype? The Gingerbread keyboard rules for landscape, but I still prefer Swype for one-handed texting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] maldito.boss:
No really u just need to search the honeycomb.apk here install it then go into theme select app then choose honeycomb and there u have it im running it and looks freaking good

Here is the link.

Tried this and it all seemed to save fine.. Rebooted and still no sd connection... Has anyone confirmed this to work?? Or anything else to try?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
I didn't find the honeycomb theme for this in the market but this one worked great just install then use it in the theme manager.

Android Mate

Free alternitave to root explorer is Android Mate... check it out. it works great, free almost identical features

{Edit} nevermind, don't know how to edit a file with Android Mate...
[Epic 4G Android Development] NEXUS 4G:
Confirmed. Went into safe mode after first boot. Second boot runs great.

R u saving changes after u edit them
[Epic 4G Android Development] maldito.boss:
I don't know if this has been post but there's no video playing on youtube.. only sound for like 3 sec and it gives me a error sayin there was a problem while playin pleased touch here to retry!...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
Changes have been saved.. I can go back into the file and all is gone after the mmc2. reboot and nothing.. It doesnt ask me to mount or anything just charges. You can here the windows sound play when you plug it in, just no option to mount. Any ideas or things to try?? Do i need any certain drivers or anything??

Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sarumont:
Yeah...my SD card is not working, either (didn't work in A3). I have nothing in my /system/etc/vold.fstab except the one sdcard line. Moreover, I don't have a /devices/platform nor a /dev/platform. Doesn't look like there is anything telling in my dmesg (other than some stacks that look related to bluetooth).

Any ideas? I flashed up from A1; I'll try a straight flash from a fresh wipe later to see if that helps...
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
Alpha 4 Deserves this thanks to the ON/OFF animations...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
don't know if anybody else had this, but when I flashed this over alpha 3, I had to reinstall GAPPS. they would just open and close. reflashing gapps did the trick
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
Same here.

Note on screen off/on animation: I believe setting window animation to fast in Spare Parts either breaks or (on my phone) makes it so it's so fast I cannot see it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NEXUS 4G:
Don't kno haven't tried mass storage yet... does it read ur memory card
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Ya that happened to me too it the spare parts
[Epic 4G Android Development] lafronz:
On future releases can you update the op please? Just so we don't have to sift through hundreds of posts to find the link? Thanks and excellent work ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] JulianUF:
Where in the menus can I disable the screen on/off animations?

(Am I the only person that can't stand it? It seems like everyone's in love with it.)

edit: nvm, found it. I'm dumb :(

Thanks for all the updates!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
I can see the sd card in like astro or whatever.. Just cant mount as a mass storage drive.. Anyone mount their SD card to the computer on this release?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NEXUS 4G:
Utube not working for me either
[Epic 4G Android Development] counterfeit187:
+1 ...I had no idea it was in Alpha 4 until reading posts in another thread. If Keeping Alpha 1 on OP because it is the more stable then perhaps just drop a link for other versions in the DOWNLOADS:: part of the original post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NEXUS 4G:
I have been looking all through cm7 settings for something like keyboard manager... Is there an option that supports different keyboards in landscape or in portrait orientation...and if not does anyone kno a good app that does this... Keyboard manager hasn't worked for me since dk28
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmbatson:
i figured camera and GPS i can sacrifice for now because my girlfriend also has a android phone (Verizon LG Ally ).

CM7 is AWESOME!

you devs RULE.

waiting eagerly and patiently for next Alpha, beta or what ever comes our way even updates haha

:p

i have been on here every day like its crack and checking github.

(not that i understand the coding or anything just updates and knowing of progress helps my crack addiction.)

Thank you again for everything!

p.s. is there a way to get swype?

i think im one of few who loves it.

:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
On an incoming call, my screen doesnt wake up... Anyone noticed this or is there a setting somewhere to adjust?

Thanks

I'm having the same issue is there a fix maybe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
If you haven't noticed these guys like to be sneaky and its more of the people who really care about cm7 and are watching this thread get the newer versions. I'm sure they don't want all of the headaches with noobs using this right now.

Problem: Cannot mount USB storage. I do not receive the notice that I have connected the phone via usb. Development is enabled. Phone does show up on pc.

Suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I had it happen once, ended up re wiping cache and dalvick, plus formatting system, boot, and data, problem gone.

And on page 124, I guy explains how to get your SD card to mount.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Page 124 I think, theres a way to fix it, mine was doing the same thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
This doesn't fix the issue of no being able to mount it via usb.

or is it just Nullghost's turn to do the fun stuff...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Not right this second, but if you hit the Power button once or twice, the screen will come up. Sorry about that.

vold.fstab will be fixed in next release too.

Nothing wrong at all. Dameon is starting a new job (GRATS BR0) and hasn't been able to be around as often.

I'm around all the time, on the other hand. :P

OK...I wiped and it still doesn't see my (16GB) SD card. It's not being detected at all (Settings -> Storage Settings won't let me mount it). Does anyone else have this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Yes. All of us have an epic. Why would we develop for a device we don't own. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Just wanted to say great job, I haven't tested this since alpha 1 and wo, you guys are killing it. Appreciate all you do, the new alpha is blazing.

Do this to fix your sd card mounting issue

Thanx can mount now... I'll just keep using my adapter card to transfer files

Sado-masachism?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dtugg:
Thank you for your hard work. I wish I could live without the things that are missing otherwise I would switch in a heartbeat. Am I correct in assuming that once the Nexus S 4G is released that it will be trivial to fix the things that are broken? I really hope so. If there is full Cyangenmod support for the the Epic I fully except to keep this phone until my contract is up (Jan 2013).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
I will continue to work on CM7 for the Epic... UNTIL the Galaxy S 2 comes out for T-mobile. I'll then be jumping ship on Sprint for a GSM phone again.

Sadness or the rest of us Sprint epic owners =(

really enjoyed all your work.

best of luck on T-Mo though just where i live in AZ hardly any bars (my GF had t-Mo)

looks like when SGS2 comes out ill be checking what awesome dev work is going on!
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
When the time comes I'll be sad to, but our devs must move on at some point. On the bright side I'd say we'll have most of our devs for the next three months minimum, perhaps even longer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sauron0101:
By then it is likely that a lot of people here will be jumping ship for a new phone too. It's a geeky audience here and a lot of people want the latest and greatest.;)

Either way, you've all made great contributions to the community and I'm sure everyone is eager to see what the future holds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
You do realize it will soon be all AT&T no more T-Mobile

Plus i mean you want to switch to a *Cough**Cough* Sh*t*y Network *Cough*

[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
The latest and greatest is too expensive. I really don't think that these dual core phones are all that compelling. We will have quad core phones within 6-12 months, thats what I'm going to want to be upgrading to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] professoroak:
Same here, when my contract expires in december 2012 I'll be picking up the Galaxy S III!
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Stupid double post crap on my part . Just read next post after this
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
In all seriousness no it won't because how would they make money. You come out with a product like that too quick in the long end you won't make money. Look at the iGayPhone it has 5Generations or to be technical 6. They made an a$$ load of money, they couldv'e easily just came out with the 4th gen iphone 1st. But then were to progress. And where to get idiots who buy those products consistently. By the time we will have quad core phones I'm predicting around 2014 to 2016. Possibly 2013 if your lucky. But really think about it. Dual core just came out and isn't even in phones yet only one I know is the HTC EVO 3D. 1.2Ghz Dual Core
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Not at all,the tech in the iPhone 4 wasn't even being considered for a cell phone in 2007, let alone mass produceable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Not all 100% true but that's my point it takes a genius to see that kind of common sense. Look back n the 60's they said there would be flying cars by now its true but not actual for production nor stable. But they had somewhat type of that tech as we do know back then. They have the ideas but they save it so there could be "progression". Seriously there really only have been a few changes in each iphone. The 3g and 3gs is all but tiny performance speed diff. And looked millions thought that they needed it for whatever reason oh I know "because its an iphone". Just look at past history and how products have come out. The line of AMD x6 core processors where supposed to be out back in 08 but they said we can drag it out and its too fast I mean back in 08 a dual core 2.0Ghz was common and normal now it 2.6 and quad core and a some are preinstalled with x6 cores.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
If you really believe that they had the tech to not only build, but mass produce the iPhone 4 (or even anything comparable) in 2007 then find examples of the following:

3.5 inch 960x640 display

45nm 1.0ghz processor

A non-flip phone under 10mm thick.

The point is technology progresses over time and you seem to think that there are a bunch of scientists intentionally hindering progress in a ridiculous conspiracy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Not in a phone maybe but they did had technology that is powerful look Ps3 for instance a eight core processor that's xeon intel from apple that's 3.2Ghz. 512mb ram and 550mb video card. And that came out in 06 and was mass produced. Phones are different but I believe if they had technology that is capable of that I'm sure they had ideas but never wanted tov proceed with them. Plus everything has to get approved by government as well if it can go on the market and be selled so sometimes they may had an idea but it may have gotten turned down.

Edit: Iphone 1g has a 3.5inch screen,multi touch, 620mhz stock but they were thinking about a 800mhz for it to be stock so that's pretty damn close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You're comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended) cell phones are hindered by the need to last a full day off a rather miniscule power supply, try running a PS3 or any console off of a 1500mah battery, because of this there has to be a compromise between power and battery life, which is why it has taken so long for smartphones to reach PC level power.Not to mention the fact that the PS3 has been sold at a loss since 06.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I'm not even gonna go there with a loss your a 360 fanboy that's fine but when it comes down to actual evidence the ps3 has better video card 550mb versus xbox 360s 500mb, ps3 cpu is 3.2Ghz 8 core 360 has a triple core 3.2Ghz, everything on the ps3 has xbox you have to pay for and its all same quality I have both and trust me no difference when it comes down to online play. But anyways I get what your saying and your right but still you couldn't think that they never had ideas like the iphone4 back in 07
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
Ok 3 things...

1) Sony sold PS3s at a loss...they were trying to fight the BD vs HDDVD war at the time...

2) mhz mean nothing..fyi..moment had an 800mhz and its prob on par if not worse then a tp2 running at 800mhz overclocked..the CPU in 1g iphone is no where close to the CPU inside the A4 which is effectively cousin to the hummingbird in our phone..

While its true that cellphone market we have been getting 2-3 year outdate hardware(courtesy of HTC)..but right now we stand at around 1 year outdated..which is ok as the pc market is around at 3-6 month..we will get there dont worry...

3) Isn't this a CM7 thread? lets get back on topic..
[Epic 4G Android Development] m4zt3r:

Awesome work guys and keep up the good work.
