same here just once. Today even.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fatonuseni:
Since the rumor of the Nexus S 4g is pretty solid after Engadget's article, i have a couple of questions.

1) If and only if the driver for the Nexus S wimax radio is same as the Epic wimax radio will it be easy to get wimax going on CM7 for the epic?

2) Will the ASOP code from the Nexus S 4g help you out any for fixing bugs in CM7 for Epic?

Thanks for the Alpha1, love it so far. Can't wait for alpha 2 or any nightlies!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Nexus s 4g = instant cm 7 rc and instant 4g

Well... with the rumors, cm 7.1 (2.4: gingerbread with hardware acceleration of everything which means iPhone smoothness) will be released rc for the epic after the nexus release.

IF it is identical hardware

Use this post as a reference to nexus questions before you post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Assuming it is identical hardware
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Yes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
It certainly should be. Especially 4g....i remember reading an article BURIED in the interwebz about how samsung contracted out a company who makes teeny tiny power amplifiers in order to drive our wimax cards. (obviously this was very dry reading lol)

Seeing as how wimax has been a non-issue from the beginning, I can't see samsung detracting from what already works. They should most likely continue to contract out this company and others.

Edit: just realized the shear jacking of the CM thread lol. a mod can feel free to delete

With all the commits yesterday on the git, it seems like they are going from alpha 1 to stable. :P

[Epic 4G Android Development] ExploreMN:
I wish I could do some testing, but sadly I need my GPS (very directionally challenged) and my camera (just had a baby girl on the 9th and take lots of pictures) but still, its great to see something happening with this phone since obviously Sprint and Samsung can F-up a wet dream...what, they are on their 3rd or 4th release of Froyo already? Dumbasses over at those companies. They should hire you guys and give you access to the hardware source code. I'll bet you would have a stable version faster than their entire team of out-sourced middle east programmers.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Lol. Look up one post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
3D acceleration is present, but actual video playback (youtube or otherwise) isn't fully working yet. It stutters every second or two, but we'll work on it more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] showmrock:
Yeah but isn't that just acceleration within games? I'm talking about acceleration within home screen, browser, any scrolling......etc
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
No. games were always accelerated (or never were in any rom ever). Graphics acceleration enables 3d ui features.

Gosh, really? Come one, we just got CM7! Be thankful, don't gripe about no screen off animation yet ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] churro7:

Does this come with a kernel already or can I use genocide or another kernel?

How is the keyboard performance? Being 2.3 the malware hole is shut right?

But that was the whole point...
[Epic 4G Android Development] gtuansdiamm:
Ill try this like in a week

I wanna give it some time to work things out first cause i dont like constant flashing and is it possible to get bubble mms on this

Second because i kinda grew to dislike the gingerbread theme after playing with a nexus s so i think ill wait for themes

Alpha is an Alpha.. and it rocks for one. Issue's with petty screen off animations and no 3g signals are no worry to me. This phone moves FAST

I installed it, but decided to do the EB13 restore with Extended 3.0.0.6 just to rule out anything that might be confiicting with it. Almost done! It was great seeing the boot animation with the original install!

Screen off animation doesn't work on any device without gpu acceleration. (Nook Color comes to mind.) Take a deep breath. If everything worked, this would be a beta or a release candidate, not an alpha. :p

Voodoo Sound

Would there be anyway to patch/mod the kernel to allow for Voodoo Sound control? It sounds like a pretty cool piece of sound hardware lives within our phones.

Thank you in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be wrong, but to my knowledge, that would only work on Samsung kernels. As I said, I could be way off though :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Thanks for answering a newb regarding Gingerbread (2,3), what about all the new ROMS with CIQ removal does CM7 use the similar kernel or not necessary?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Not necessary. Ciq would never be in a cyanogenmod build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not necessary, since CM is build from google source where CIQ doesn't exist :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] punwik:
You took the words right out of my mouth, exactly what i was thinking...

LMAO cause its so true.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Guess no one else realizes this but when the 3g or wifi icon change to a color that is when google is accessing your phone. So that's some kind of ciq. Where do you think sprint learned it from.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That can be disabled in settings, and you are dead wrong; that flashes when data is moving, not because google is tracking you every move :rolleyes:

[Epic 4G Android Development] abduljaffar:
I really like fingerbread, I noticed the drop down drawer is butter smooth! Even smoother than eclair's! For done reason froyos stutters bad. With no live wall paper froyo is about 90% as smooth as eclairs. But once you run a live wallpaper... Its terrible and jerky. Eclair does not have this issue, with or without live wallpaper, eclair is smooth just like this ginger bread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
It was aimed at all the people asking for realease ETAs and those asking when this or that will be fixed. A better way of asking your question might be something like "Can we expect (insert feature) to be functional in Alpha 2?" Or something like that... the way you asked sounded like an eta request. Not for the alpha but for a feature.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WrlsFanatic:
I, for one, will commit $30 once this becomes a stable release. My wife has an Epic, and she's very jealous of my phone. I'll be glad when she can run CM7 like me.

However, unlike me, she can't really handle much quirkiness. Well, she can, but she complains to me, so I don't tolerate much. :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] msponsler:
What issues has everyone experienced with the gps?

Using the cm7-alpha1, my gps enabled aps work. Latitude, maps, weather apps, etc... google turn by turn navigation isn't in (or enabled?) the version of maps I have installed however. So I can't test that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mikey80021:
I get latitude and maps, but not the directions. I have only tested at home, so it may be my Wi-Fi picking me up...

[Epic 4G Android Development] dustinmatthews87:
If I understand correctly we wont get nighties until we get official support from the cm team.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Not true.

You won't get nightlies until the ROM is in a stable enough state to merit nightlies. Official support would definitely speed this along, but doesn't stop them from happening.
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
What does it take for official support? Or for them to pick this up officialy, does it have to be stable and what do they consider stable? Or do we need to just beg on their end? Or do we need to send muscle head over there?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kcarpenter:
If someone wants nightlies, build a bash script to repo sync, build, zip and upload to an FTP site.

Wouldn't take but an hour or so to get one right even if you really don't know a whole lot about building or bash. Now, the possiblility of it being able to compile every night in its current state without messing around with it. Very slim.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Kcarpenter:
Official support takes getting a build that doesn't mess with the CM Dependency tree, then they have to approve the code, and put it into their Repos. Once we have a solid version that doesn't mess up their build process - someone on the dev team sends a message to who ever tackles this stuff on the CM team. (Chris maybe?)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Pretty much this. The good news is that we have prepared the first of our commits to be pushed to the main tree.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tobiasly:
Just out of curiosity... will the availability of the CDMA Nexus S help speed this ROM along? I know the hardware is very similar but didn't know the degree to which reverse engineering is necessary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
I remember reading on here somewhere that Nexus S 4g source code means instant, stable release candidate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
We have to add the keyboard support and some of the drivers may be different, not to mention it's going to be based off of the .35 kernel, but it will definitely help the porting process a lot. It's also going to help the entire CM project, as this is the first Google-supported CDMA, 4G phone :)

It's possible, but don't hold your breath. We can't foresee what problems could arise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
I will have to point out that most of what Devin says, is indeed true... HOWEVER, it will lead to quickly fixing/updating. In theory, we can easily port the kernel over (Going to be a tad of a pain, as the NS uses MTD partitioning, whereas the Epic uses BML/STL. We have to do proper partition mapping, or else we could perma-brick the phone). But, once that, and the keyboard crap is ported over (Which should be relatively easy, as I BELIEVE that bit is open source) it should be easy sailing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Marlinsfan88:
I cant wait for this to be 100% operational. hopefully with the release of the nexus S it will help you guys out as much as possible. thanks to all the devs and everyone else workin on this to make it happen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tobiasly:

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
It's just that the UI isn't working well enough due to the lack of GPU Acceleration. It really isn't a major issue though as this is such a clean running alpha, once they get other things running well all will be fine.:D Just priorities come before constant releases.
