Anyone else having reboot/shutoff issues? It was fine until I tried to flash the 0.4 Genocide kernel and it didn't boot. So I reflashed the ROM and have been getting crazy shutoffs. Like it's working one min, I put the phone down and when I try to turn it on again it doesn't respond. The light do not come on or anything, and nothing happens using the power button. I have to remove the battery then reboot. Kinda sucks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Genocide kernel will not work with this ROM. The only kernel, currently, that works with CyanogenMod 7 is the one it comes packed with. Once we have a stable ROM, nullghost and myself will begin to tweak the kernel. We've added a few basic things, but overclocking and the like will begin to cause debugging to become more difficult. It will all come in due time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hammerbrain:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
Then donate to Cyanogen.

We, the Epic team for Cyanogen mod, don't do it for the donations. Dameon has his link, but once again, nullghost and myself do not. We do this for fun. Kind of for portfolio purposes, but also for fun.

I never said don't appreciate. We work hard on this and it takes a lot of time out of our day. But, once again, turning us into your employee is entirely counterproductive. Using money to say "Hey, get this done faster" doesn't immediately translate to appreciation in our heads. In fact, it's the opposite. So, take that for what you will.

And, once again, I never said don't appreciate the developer. I'm saying there's more ways than just money. I personally like the thanks button a lot more than money. Also, if you made a donation to the EFF in my name, that would be amazing too.

Anyway, this is just clogging this thread up more. We need to handle bugs, not debate about donations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
The EPIC forum doesn't seem to have the etiquette that the other dev forums have...

Anyways not that it does much good, but I started building from source last night since I am impatient. Anything I can do with a build like that to report issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DevinXtreme:
You might want to hop over to the building from source thread. Our git isn't totally up-to-date right now, though. We have some things that are causing boot to fail. I don't know if those were pushed or not, but they're just a temporary thing until we clean it up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
I will lurk there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ddpacino:
Thanks. I definitely learned that the hardway. Mistook this ROM w/ the Nebula ROM and MIUI I was using prior. But these issues I have are occuring after a fresh flash, and happened again a moment ago. I'm a little hurt I'll have to go back to another until Alpha 2. Keep up the GREAT Work Everyone!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] NEXUS 4G:
i guess what i said didnt come across the way i meant it... i personally like this alpha alot. i have no issues using it as my daily. as far as the donations go what i meant was, im happy with the state it is in, even happier u guys are bringing cm7 to the epic... and i just kept reading people say ill donate when this happens, and ill donate when that happens. when my point of view is; i like the progress made and im happy its coming along. if u like it donate for its current state. if it gets better (which im sure it will)u can always give more;

great job team!

p.s. cyanogen is awesome, however without u guys, all his work would mean nothing to the epic community
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeXeD:
SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! This thread should NEVER make it to the second page you bastards

bumpity
[Epic 4G Android Development] HeXeD:
+1

People who say "Once this has (XYZ), you guys will be getting a 30$ donation" make me laugh. These devs do this in the same fashion I fix all of my friend's and family's computers. I do it because I love doing it, helping people, and giving people something they love for nothing. The second someone tries to slip me a 20.. is when it suddenly doesn't become as fun anymore. Like someone said in another post, it is like you are now the "employee", and I'm already an employee of someone, I don't need more than 1 boss.

On topic though, I have not tried this out yet but I am very interested in this work. It seems to be on another level than regular rom development. It reminds me of 5 months ago when I was constantly refreshing the Touch Pro 2 android development thread (Windows 6.5 phone), trying weekly releases. This type of stuff is amazing so thanks to the devs for adding another level of excitement to this forum, and more importantly, this phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjman:
Guys, I'm really surprised how complete this is for an alpha. there are a few odds and ends I've noticed that need finishing, but nothing that relates to anything I do.

I noticed a weirdness with my battery level, it hung above 90 for almost 3 hours, when it tanked down to 50 in about 30 minutes, then had a stable draw again. the % is close to what I would normally have, so I think it may be something wonky in the battery.c maybe.

I haven't had this problem at all. My power drains nice and slow the whole day. Looking at making it through a 11 hour work shift with it playing music non stop (using 3.5mm BT dongle) and random data usage here and there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twotwo11:
I have a question. If alpha 2 or any other build comes out, will I have to delete everything if I'm on alpha 1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nullghost:
No, you can just flash over top and leave data alone. We'd still recommend a cache and dalvik-cache wipe though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] twotwo11:
Ok, thank you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bighuta:
someone get me a towel. I cant stop drooling for alpha 2...

I'm gonna get dehydrated soon..
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjman:
It lasts a normal amount of time, I'm about 15 hours off the charger at the moment and I'm above 30%. The discharge curve didn't seem very liner.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
Edit: question was answered already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
Mine is very linear. You can see where I paused music for my lunch and where it dives during data usage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
I had a dream there was another release :x
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
Me too, weird I was like oh I'll check it later haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Hopefully by this weekend for Alpha 2. Just trying to finish up some stuff, and get some major things working. Trying to get Camera working for Alpha 2.

Also, I recently threw out some precompiled binaries and am compiling them from source now. After fixing wifi (again), and Storage (SDCard), the ui notification for USB Debugging doesn't work, and it seems to assume USB 1.1 when transferring things. It's something I'll have to look into, otherwise it will have to be reverted for now.

On an off note, I NEARLY got GPS working yesterday. But I believe we will have to make the dive to the 2.6.35 kernel before we will see it working completely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiggity:
What about HW Accel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
HW Accel does indeed work in games. However, I have been unable to get the UI HW accel working. Once again, this is likely related to the OMX libs, and Stagefright. I'm not sure what will need to be done, but I have a hunch that it will be fixed when we move to the 2.6.35 kernel. I am still trying, but I'm running out of ideas.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Any clues from possibly what is being done with the Vibrant stuff?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Normally, I'd say yes. However, there comes a few problems because the Vibrant uses the 2.6.35 kernel I believe (It was kanged from the Nexus S kernel source, and modified, etc etc.)

I've been looking into it, but still need to ask around a bit more. It's high on my priority list, along with Camera.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
Just confirmed it is a modified nexus s kernel source.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
Alpha 2 possibly for the weekend?!! Awesome news Dameon87! Probably the best news I've heard since Alpha 1 was released!

Take your time, I would gladly wait another few days to get more things on your punch list resolved and working ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Awesome news. Thanks 4 the update & all your hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
You guys are welcome. Just doing what I can.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
Hey Dameon, just wondering why you guys aren't working with whatever the latest available kernel is?
[Epic 4G Android Development] greatlakesghost:
great work guys! cant wait for alpha 2!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Because its a lot more complicated than talking about it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
Allow me to rephrase.

Back when DK28 was leaked, and everyone though official Froyo was right around the corner, a lot of people were saying they weren't going to put too much into development of a build that was soon going to be replaced.

So, along those same lines, I was just curious as to the technical reason you guys are working with (what I think is) an older kernel version. I could be completely off on it being older, of course. I'm just an end user, after all, my knowledge of kernel builds and versions is extremely limited. But it was just pure curiosity ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] SAShady:
I would wait all year for this, as long as its done right. Keep up the good work, make Samsung look like a bunch of fools.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
You forget, samsung does a good job of that already :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Proprietary kernel crap is the reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] msponsler:
You can't just download the kernel from kernel.org, compile it and expect it to work.

Samsung has a lot of proprietary kernel modules (drivers) that are not included with the kernel source. Those modules aren't included because they aren't covered by the GPL, and they aren't required to release the source code to them.

Those kernel modules need to be ported from what we have for 2.6.32-9 to 2.6.35. Some of those modules have uncompiled source components that point to binary modules that are loaded during boot. Trying to get everything to play nice is a very daunting task -- especially when you have very little in terms of documentation -- outside of the fact that the linux kernel is a very complex beast in general.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrameCityJackal:
I have to be on a deoxed theme right and not a odexed theme correct.

I'm running EC15 not rooted yet with CWM2.5...
[Epic 4G Android Development] xxmastermindxx:
Thanks for the reason and explanation guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Shiggity:
Don't forget the in-call volume stuff, backlit keyboard when on battery, haptic feedback stuff..... that's what I can think of at the moment...

Alfa 2?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
*Alpha

And Rule 1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dubar:
Just flashed this because I won't be meeting my gps this week. Everything is great! My first experience with cm and I like it.

One problem I ran into that I dont remember reading in this thread, I get a fc on adw if i drop an icon into the hidden dock. Could be just me though
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
I flashed back to some other ROM because I need my GPS for a camping trip, and I must say, I'm grumpy without CM7. This is going to be beyond awesome when it's fully functional. Devs, you guys rock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SubnetMask:
Nope. But it's quite good for an alpha. As others have said, almost beta quality.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
I did the same thing because I wanted camera and I couldn't WAIT to flash this back on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jetkjh:
alpha testing

Yes MMS works. I've been using the alpha for about two weeks. Sometimes the calander will crash requiring a force close for the calander app. Also GPS is hit or miss. You cannot answer calls while the phone is sleep, but theres alos a new clock with a dim screen option that allows you to use less power while not going into sleep mode. The alpha is fast, almost as fast as when i had nebula rom with genocide. On quadrant I recieve speeds around 1900 ( i was clocking 2300 with genocide). My grype is with the phone. Sometimes when making a call I cannot hear through the earpiece. You have to press the speaker button twice(enabling and disabling) to get the earpiece to work. Other than that, it is like a beta.
[Epic 4G Android Development] deano0714:
I think you mean SMS works... mms is pictures and videos.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
MMS most certainly doesn't work ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] piscesjoey:
Unless he was receiving pics & media through e-mail lol, thats what I was doing on the alpha :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, yeah that would work :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilmexx:
So with the screen off or asleep, you can't receive calls? I thought that had been fixed.already.. I am very much considering giving this a shot.. May wait until this weekend and see if 2 is released.. I can wait until monday, I have waited this long.. Lol.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I got calls with the screen off :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
I get calls no problem with the screen off as well.

Tried pushing a version of the Mms.apk to my phone that I compiled yesterday to see if it fixed the MMS issue, but to no avail :(

Guess I will have to wait to receive noodie pics :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
So, sorry if this has already been asked, but the option for 4g is gone from the notification bar and the settings. Where can I find it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
4G doesn't work so there's no reason to have it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Well that answers that. Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] rygran87:
Actually, you can log on to HTTP://WWW.pictures.sprintpcs.com and you can view your mms via the web. I don't know whether to be alarmed or amused by this idea though...

EDIT: btw if you DO check it out, you'll notice EVERY pic or video you sent or received is on there, hence my concern/amusement.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_dark_knighton:
Has anyone else had a problem with the phone hanging up at the boot animation screen? It was there for 10 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] canito63:
When I first flashed it would do that but I wiped everything x3 again and it hasn't done that anymore.

Is there any way to prevent this? I def don't like the fact that sprint has a copy of every text/picture I've sent. Guess that means no more texting the "undocumented pharmacist" =-O
[Epic 4G Android Development] Phasma343:
You realize every cell provider is required to keep txt logs right? They can be subpoenaed in court even.
[Epic 4G Android Development] b15love:
use BBM :P

jk but in BBM your logs are safe, not sure about other messengers though. maybe gtalk?
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
that might not be a joke one day
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
BBM is not safe..they can get BBM logs too...

There is really nothing thats 100% safe unless you make your own client...the safest standard method is to use encryption such as SSL...but that only prevents from people plainly looking at it...if say government needs they can easily break it..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Everything is safe. You have to do something to get on the radar to get your text messages looked into or anything like that. As long as your not driving a Bently with no job for the past 5 years, then you should be good.

You guys are doing a great job! Really appreciate all the time you've put in.

I've been watching the frustrating developments in IRC, you guys will get it. Were you ever able to determine the GPIO information you needed?
