[Epic 4G Android Development] bondosho:
Congrats guys on getting this out. I'm not going to download it at the moment because I need the functions that do not work yet, but I just wanted to stop in and say good work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] monkey804:
You'll care when you're a total nerd! :) They're just to show how well the ROM performs to compare around. Rest assure CM ROMs gonna give you bad ass battery life though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
I'm glad someone appreciates my humor ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
If you like having numbers to compare for the hell of it, more power to you. But apps like Quadrant are not good for the measuremeant of real world performance. Ask any true "nerd" (chef/developer).

I'm still having problems with calling.... after 4 times of wiping and flashing. I still need to toggle speaker to make it work....... and other times it doesn't even work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Magic Oreo:
don't know if this is related to me recently flashing this but i got an email congratulating me on my purchase of a nexus s :P

Is this because cm7 uses nexus s' source?

Is there an update prl option or data profile option anywhere??
[Epic 4G Android Development] Finishure:
You have to go back to a stock rom update your prl and or profile and flash back ........most people back up a stock rom just for this reason......its pretty much a pain

do you need to be ok DK28 oe EB13 to flash this? i tried searching but search is down!
[Epic 4G Android Development] joshottley:
I'm ok DK28 modem and I'm fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I'm sure its fine for now. I just wanted to make sure It wasn't somewhere I didn't expect. Also how should I set vm heap and compcache settings and what are the impacts specifically??
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
It was said that you should be on eb13.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Maybe google thinks we have a Nexus S 4G.

great work by the CM team.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Finishure:
Let's be honest hear gps never worked that great so if it gets fixed cool if not whatever also camera should be fine I doubt it should take them months........but while where on the subject this is the second phone ive purchased(first being the moment) with samsung why can't they ever get there gps right all my htc phones gps works seamless
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
I won't be asking for ETAs or anything but GPS and Camera are two of the most used functions on my phone. So to me, at least, it's important to see them working. My GPS (wireless networks kept off) works just fine on both my old moment and my Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] HipHopIsLyfe37:
I agree with you. For the guy above who said it doesn't matter, well yes it does. I use my GPS all the time and same for the camera. I was lucky to get one that actually worked, and if I hadn't, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE IT BACK FOR A NEW ONE, not just let Sammy take my money with inadequate parts. So yes, please fix the GPS because I and many others use it frequently. Thanks for all the hard work, I appreciate it

P.S. Not even worried about an ETA because I know you guys work hard to get it released

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] Finishure:
Okay so clearly I didn't say it doesn't matter but if I do have to break it down the us galaxy s variants all of them if not most of them suffer from some type if gps issue you also know this bc you said you where lucky enough to get one that's gps works ...good for you.. you wherfe lucky not smart ....I personally have a stand alone gps so I don't care... I use my camera but am happy enough to have cm7 and I am fine just waiting I would love to see these things fixed but I understand this is an alpha and I'm not ging to keep asking the devs to fix what they now is already broken and what there already working on
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
Just to be clear, we're not complaining about it; we're just stating that it's important to us and we will wait patiently and enjoy the awesome work they've already provided until we see it, if at all.

It just seems like you're taking this personally and I want to make sure (at least for me) that it's not my intentions to tell you how you should feel, what you should think or what options are or are not important to you. Please see my disclaimer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Finishure:
Lol theres nothing to take personal is just a friendly discussion
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
forget the gps and camera, fix the .com button.

the extra 2 seconds it takes to type a web address is killing me
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
Let's not forget that GPS issues are largely inherent to Galaxy S, not to what rom version any of us are running.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Just wanted to say great job Dameon87 and crew. So nice to have something besides Froyo to play with. Flashed it yesterday and it runs great, hard to believe this is only Alpha as well as it runs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zdidge:
I am so glad seeing CM7 being developed for our phones. This is great. I can't wait to test this out...

I am curious. Which issue is the most challenging to fix? The hardware acceleration, GPS, or the camera?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
I have to disagree with that. On DK28 and EB13 I had excellent GPS performance. Always a lock within 2meters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thephawx:
I was under the impression that only honeycomb had HW UI Acceleration. Please correct me if I am wrong.

And since my GPS is near worthless as it is, the only thing I should really look forward to is the camera to be fixed and I could flash this rom.

Awesome work guys
[Epic 4G Android Development] mr.lumbergh:
Thanks for all the hard work!! I'm super stoked CM7 is in dev mode for the epic!!

Its good to see cyanogenmod on one of my phones again! I am blown away, by how nice gallery runs on this! I'm back to ACS for now due to not being able to get market to download... and a couple of other minor bugs, but damn while I had it on my phone I was in bliss! Awesome work guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] redsox19asb:
AWESOME!

Excellent work on CM7... I absolute love it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever... like everyone else, I anxiously await being able to use GPS and MMS - but I only used those every now and then. Daily Driver and its an ALPHA! Awesome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Strange on the Market comment, I downloaded quite a few apps from the Market already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ggrip:
Like others have said, for an alpha release this is pretty good so far. Look forward the continued development.

I haven't seen this mentioned, but i get a FC on the keyboard. LatinIME.apk. Everytime. Coming from a fresh download, clean install from Odin, everything. wiped data just in case. Etc. No data was restored. All clean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
I reverted back to syndicate 1.0.1 for now. I really liked this ROM a lot, but I need bluetooth. That was the only deal breaker. I can't wait until this is further along. Great work so far daemon, nullghost, and devin!

Bluetooth great .. Mms is my deal breaker ... But I'm still on cm7 asd we speak!
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
@The cm7 team. Or anyone who would know. Could deleting any specific app cause the On Screen Keyboard to FC? I normally go through and delete apps i don't want or need from the ROM before flashing, and I was pretty sure i checked to make sure it was ok first. Is there anything that would stop it from working? Thanks in advance. Everything else is working just fine.

Read this earlier regarding prl and profile updates:

What complications can outdated profile/prl cause? How often would one have to do this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Im dumb! :p I figured it out. I tried installing the gingerbread keyboard, and remembered that removing the UserDictionaryProvider.apk caused it not to work. Then i remember, IM RUNNING GINGERBREAD XD Got it working now. Keep up the great work guys :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] neonjam:
Profile updates refresh your data connection, and provision your device. Don't really need to do unless you're switching your cell phone number or have data problems.

PRL is the roaming list. For the most part an old PRL wont cause much for issues. It can add coverage in spots where roaming agreements are made, but PRL is only updated once every month or two.

My HTC Hero went over a year without either being updated and never had issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beejmeister:
Woohoo on the Bluetooth! That will make me flash this! I like GPS for goofing around with FourSquare... but it isn't life or death like BT.

Nice!

I don't know if you guys like the heads up on these kinds of thing, but I thought I'd share. When in landscape mode the arrow buttons on the physical keyboard seem to be off. Left and right seem to function as up and down. And vice versa. Just thought I'd help! :) Thanks for the great rom!

Unlike in the Evo's CM7, does this build have 4G?

I would consider using this build if it had Hardware Acceleration... :D

To quote Dameon87 from the Progress Log in the general section:
[Epic 4G Android Development] guruleenyc:
I cant remember the last time I turned on my 4G, Bluetooth and GPS radios---just too much of a battery drain.

Been on ViperROM 4.04 for over a month.....considering dealing with no HW Accel., and Camera view for CM speed and hardening aspects.

peAce | props to CM Team!
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
I'm just blown away by how smooth and solid this thing is. I never realized just how much Sprint/Samsung's extra crap just slows things down. The UI is buttery smooth, the smoothest of any ROM I've tried, including Syndicate. All my apps are running the way they should be (including Words With Friends, the most infuriating app I've ever tried to run on my phone. It's actually 100% bug-free so far). And all of this WITHOUT hardware acceleration? Seriously?

So far, I'm content to use this as a daily until I need GPS for something. Looking forward to that, camera, MMS, and hardware acceleration. I didn't think I could live without 4G, but this thing makes it all worth it.

I really had no idea the Epic was capable of this kind of performance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spiicytuna:
EVO does have working 4G in CM7.

[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
I agree that the gps and bluetooth are not a big deal and I don't even have 4g in detroit. The only thing for me is not getting incoming calls while the screen is off. As soon as this is fixed I will use as daily driver. And if there is some work around I don't know about please tell me.

Dope Rom, problems I've had so far

Phone wont dissconect from USB storage, but this may be my auto mount app.

Sometimes phone calls wont come through normal speaker, but will are fine on speaker phone.

Texts that are 2 pages send abunch of jumbles letters and numbers and symbols, but I think thats been mentioned.

.com button dosent work

booting to recovery from the power button short cut dosent work.

Hope this helps, loving cm7 even in the alpha state. looking forward to next update

Ahhhh, about to Nand backup and then go ahead and flash this and use it for a week or two.:D<3 Quick question, would I be able to wipe 3x and flash back the update.zip to EB13 if I'd want to go back to stock, or would it require that I odin back. Just curious if I were to run across problems when I'm using it and not near a computer.

CM7 ON MY EPIC!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
Yeah it happens to everyone at one point or another, it's because the processor is unsuccessfully processing the animations and everything else, so the it's heating up because it's stuttering through that. Once it begins to heat up just end the process that you're doing and let it cool down a bit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hasseo:
So, tested the battery, and here are the results!

This was with 5% left. The phone was left on for NINE hours (9hrs and 3min exactly) where it was just idling (just checking the time maybe five or six times throughout the schoolday) and it got down to 78%. This was also with data off, wifi off, etc.

I'd say moderate/heavy use throughout the next 4 hours and 30 minutes. Data on, Wi-Fi enabled, screen on, texting, reading Facebook and the news, etc.

So, not terrible battery life, but it's not that great compared to SyndicateROM where I was getting 14+ hours with moderate usage, but, considering I didn't use SetCPU and it's just an Alpha, pretty dang good.

Some bugs I noticed though.

I know Dameon said that the receiving incoming calls bug was fixed, I didn't get any of the three calls I got when my screen was off. I did get one when my screen was on however. But, I don't have the volume bug that others were talking about so I guess that's a fair tradeoff.

The backlight on the keyboard is kinda funky... like, sometimes, it just randomly turns off while I'm typing then I close the screen and then reopen it and it returns to normal. Weird, eh?

Other than that, all of the bugs that are in the OP are normal (no GPS, camera, 4G, etc), but the ROM runs really really smoothly. I really like all of the other features CM7 has and can't wait for the next version :)
