So can someone tell me where Cyanogen Started? or a history link =) CM is more of a Sub OS then a Rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
It's been around since the G1 days, here's a wikipedia link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Alright can you please speek a bit better than that " it comes be with oc'd" OC is fun but still this is not important, having the whole cyanogenmod on our phone is quite amazing

Not really haha, its still a ROM a SUB OS would mean not using linux and having MAC or Windows on our phones instead of Android(Linux Base). The Rom just has a lot in it and a lot of Custom shi* to it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
In call volume is a huge bug for me, basically makes the phone unusable as a... phone.

I've been pretty happy with Alpha 4 as a daily driver otherwise. All these overclocked, undervolted, unjournaled ROMs are basically just a recipe for disaster, and I just can't tolerate Touchwiz anymore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
oh well I always thought CM7 was a rom made ground up from partial scratch, thats why I used the term "Sub OS." I took that assumption because cyanogen is a ROM for just about every android phone out there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Using the term "Sub OS" is actually pretty close to the ultimate goal of the Cyanogenmod team, that is to become a full fledged Android Distro (think Ubuntu to Linux) providing users with a highly customized AOSP based ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
This rom was awesome when I had my G1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Is this **** killin the konanes rom? I wanna test this **** out..but reading the op makes me wonder.....any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shoulon:
Talk about bashful. What would u have to lose in trying it? I tried it out. Its lovely, but I use 4g and camera and media txtin so I went bak to syndicate.

[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Yes, I think distro is a close term.

It isn't just a rom, after all it is gingerbread, whereas the official samsung software is froyo. Ttally different kernel, almost all the software is from the cyanogen project, not samsung. Rom kind of refers to a hacked up version of the software it came with. Technically though nothing we flash is a rom since rom means read only, and our phones don't run the os from ROM, they use a r/w partition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cbwhat:
so is there a fix for the camera, gps, mms, or others yet? i just want to be informed because im testing this rom out as we speak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
If you're testing it out, you've probably realized that no, none of those things work. They don't do nightly builds, so any changes that are made, won't be readily available until they release either Alpha 5 or Beta 1. There has been progress made on them, but A4 is still the same thing as it was originally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
not to be a downer but is this rom being worked on? is it being delayed until gingerbread? or is there really no clear way to fix the camera out going calls and mms (4g i get why there is no fix). i only ask because i have never been able to stay with this rom as a daily driver, but i see so much promise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
If you bothered to look at their Github you'd see almost daily fixes being added. Feel free to fix the camera, outgoing calls and mms since it must be easy :rolleyes:

Lets keep it civil guys and dont put useless stuff in this thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
That's how this thread works.

1. Someone asks the same question that's been asked five hundred times.

2. Some a-hole that's not even one of the developers acts like he owns the place.

3. The actual developers say something cryptic every 300 posts.

4. Repeat for 1700 pages.

They're obviously stuck until the Nexus S comes out. Go take a nap until May.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
You obviously haven't read any of the latest commits to their Github. If you're going to pass something off as fact, at least do some research. :rolleyes:

[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Never said I was, just that you are passing false assumptions off as fact.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XtaC318:
Cyanogen is not just a rom, when it first launched it was. But now, it is a completely new android experience. There are a lot more customizations that can be done right on the phone.. within it. LOTS of new code compared to android :p

And, stop feeding the trolls! If they make a useless post, just ignore it. All you do is flood the thread more with useless junk..
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
No.

The leak is broken in its current state, first of all. Taking stuff from that would set us backward D: Second, it's all a bunch of closed-source gobbly-wook. We grabbed what we could, and moved on. It's far from helpful.

Moving on. Stop trolling, people. If someone asks a question, just answer it. Yes, it's annoying if it has already been asked. But you know what's even more annoying? The ten subsequent posts explaining to the person how they are an idiot for not magically knowing the answer that is buried inside of 170+ pages of posts. Not everyone in this thread has been here since the beginning, so just kindly answer the question. I guess courtesy is dead. It's also worth noting that it doesn't help us at all to have to sift through all of your whining and moaning that someone asked a question that was answered when we're trying to find something useful. Because of that, and not the questions being asked, I've found myself skipping whole pages of posts.

tl;dr: Get off your high-horses, pseudo-forum-police, and learn some courtesy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Xda should have a wiki post option. Other forums let you turn the second post in a thread into a wiki that anybody can edit. That would go a really long way towards cutting out a lot of these useless comments.

On topic: I don't currently use this as a daily driver, but love tossing this every now and then just to play with it. You guys are absolutly amazing for all the work you do on this bastard child of a phone!
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Good man. Well said.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
I agree with you infinite % DV. But to those that are aware, like myself. We all know that balance must be contained! Which is why trolls exsist! Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] DCRocks:
Thanks for the explanation, I was just getting ready to ask about this. :D

Bummer that it was not more helpful.

I was wondering if this because the leak is "broken", or because CM7 is built using its own drivers and such?

I was thinking the later, but was simply curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
Yea realized later CM7 is AOSP variant having gb leak wouldn't help much :(. Hope to see cm7 really soon :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Remember, froyo leaks gave cm6 camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
But broke it's compliance with Cyanogenmod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
So would it be possible to patch the camera, gps and mms into CM7, but not have it adhere to cyanogen standards? Or would the ED12 **** not work cause it relys on touchwiz or something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
noobnl had the Camera working using code that broke CM compliance, so it's possible for at least the camera, I can't speak on anything else.

ED12 isn't source code so it offers very little in terms of usefulness to the CM team.

The current team will not break compliance (a choice I support) because in the long run it makes future CM builds for the Epic their responsibility rather than having help from the Official CM team.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
So with CM7 being open source and the leaked ED12 is it possible for other devs to build cutom roms based on CM7, but using non-open source fixes/enchancements? I've been on CM7 sense alpha1, and damn I miss camera and mms. Maybe its time to start reading those java programming books again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
It wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to invest that much work with CM7 moving along in strides and ED12 being a barely functional leak that may be replaced by an improved leak soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
What's with all the ed12 hate? Its been working great for me all day. No 4g though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
It's not really hate; just that people constantly bring it up (or other GB versions) which have no use for CM7 because it has to adhere to specific standards. It just has little use here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Using open source code to get these things working should allow for easier builds in future versions of android on the Epic. I.E. the source will be easy to port over to an upstream version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
The problem is that samsung will release source code for the nexus s 4g camera, but it wont be the same one, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Very possible that it could be a different camera hardware between the two. IIRC the Nexus S on tmo was different than the Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drizek:
Yes, the GSM necksuccess has a different camera, it was posted a few pages back.

Anyway, and I'm not asking for an "ETA" as much as I am asking how the process works generally(for those of you who have used CM on other phones in the past), how long will it take for CM to get updated to Gingerbread 2.3.4? Obviously, the video calling feature won't get much use on our phones, but I'm just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] goodelyfe:
what kernel is this?

do you have a separate download for the kernel, by chance?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
It's the CM7 kernel. You can't use it with anything but CM.

I get that but its still Android, Yes a Sub OS is like Ubuntu,Fedora,Etc....

But right now were still running from the roots which is Android.

I flashed CM7 last night and this morning I got an e-mail form android.com thanking and asking me to register my Nexus S. Does google think my phone is a Nexus S now?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's just what happens because your phone is seen as aosp 2.3, so pretty much the same setup as the nexus s. It really doesn't mean anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngnick09:

What is the google apps zip for? Sorry, but I've never used a CyanogenMod before. Can we not use the market or something when we flash to this?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Sorry to quote something from 10 pages back.. but is there any useful open sourced code for the i9000 since it shares the same camera?
[Epic 4G Android Development] khari998:
im not that experienced when it comes to rom baking so this might be a noob question, but now since there is an official ED12 gingerbread rom for the epic, can the cyanogen team just take some of the libs from that to make cm7 work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wis3m0nkey:
according to my understanding cm is AOSP variant. If cm7 team happen to get components from samsung rom, it won't remain AOSP and do not cyanogen compliant. It would be same as other roms based off samsung firmware
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
As stated in the post bellow it wouldn't be cm compliant at that point. Also the devs did pull as much as they could but stated a few pages ago there wasn't much that was useful from the leak.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
Libs don't necessarily break CM compliance. It's good to compile as many libs from source as possible, but prebuilt ones don't hurt because libs don't affect other devices. What _does_ hurt us is having to make framework changes to accommodate closed-source libs, because every device shares the same frameworks. Also, we could not get CM7 to boot using ED12 libs, so there's that too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xopher.hunter:
Yes I would like to know too
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
This looks VERY promising. Just waiting for GPS, MMS, and camera to work before I flash this (or at least camera and mms :P)
[Epic 4G Android Development] thephawx:
Funny thing is because our GPS is pretty busted I never use it. And the camera works well enough but I haven't come across a situation that I wanted to take a picture and I didn't have something better for the situation. 4G I use every now and again, but it's few and far between that I do use it, so I don't really care. Sprint still manages to be cheaper than everyone else with unlimited everything that 4G is literally icing on the cake.

But I know that as soon as I flashed CM7, I would all of a sudden need all of those features. It always works out like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Agreed, although I don't really care for GPS.

MMS is okay to be broken because SMS still works, and I never really send pictures via Text.

Camera though...nah, I need that at times.

How does the USB driver fit into all this???

CM has its own open source drivers targeted for the items mentioned above right? Why is USB not part of that?

I ask since I'm one of those people stuck with a non-working USB and the DK28 modem. I still have not figured out where the hell the USB driver comes from. It must be a binary driver part of the kernel no? But if that is true then how come a modem update can cause the USB to fail. This would suggest that the USB driver is actually part of the modem.

Can someone please enlighten me on how the USB driver fits into this picture?

I'll keep looking into delta file generation as my time permits but getting USB to work somehow would seem like a good alternate option.

For those interested,.. the thread on the delta file generation can be found here:

The modem flashes into the epic's internal hardware. It could be possible something went wrong in compiling. Idk how to explain this... like no matter how much we mod our roms, we can't mod the hardware's built in software. Its like when u mess with the 4G's connection. No matter what it'll stay(the changes u make) because its part of the internal system.

Its just an idea btw =\
