Ok, based on a few suggestions, I am starting this thread as an Android 2.2 rumor thread for the Epic 4G. This is to be the ONLY thread complaining, whining, commenting, or asking about 2.2 on the Epic! Report all other threads about 2.2 rumors on the Epic and I'll merge them into this one. Also, repeat offenders who make more then one new thread about 2.2 outside this one will be infracted/and or banned for trolling. Thank you for your cooperation, and happy posting

Woo! More unsubstantiated rumors.
With each failed attempt at guessing a release date, our chances of being correct on the next guess improve, right guys? Guys?
So EA17 means that it was completed on the 17th of January. So either they are clueless how to release this OTA without bricking devices or they are really testing the **** out of this one then. I hope its the latter case.
I feel like Charlie Brown going to kick the football. Surely Lucy won't pull it away again this time...
I think this one will actually be the one, theres already proof with that picture. Now Now, I know that it can be edited, but still, it seems like this date will be the one we were actually waiting for.
I just don't get it.
EA17... so it's already done.
It's not out because it's being tested.
So why is there a release date?
- If they know it's fine, it should be out already.
- If they expect it to fail, then how do they know it will be ready by a certain date?
If I had my way a lot would be different... but I don't understand how/why the final release will not be a build dated maybe a week before the actual release date, a date we will not know until it happens.

It makes perfect sense. They are going to test whatever they release for a while to make sure its polished. The rumor that AC received was probably that IF they dont find any major bugs in this version, it will be released on the 21st.
If they are so sure it's fine, they should release it now...
And if they DO find an issue, they'll disappoint everyone AGAIN.
This is nothing more than predicting the future, and they've been doing it poorly for 6mos now, why does Sprint think they'll get it right this time?
Releasing it at such-and-such date assuming all's well is what they have been doing since August.

Sprint isn't leaking the rumors. It's individuals that work for Sprint who want to give us an idea of when we might expect it (then they find some bugs)... or just douchebags that want to throw out rumors for laughs. Again, Sprint doesn't say when they are releasing updates because that makes them look worse if it's buggy or they don't follow through.

I am running 2.2, it has some issues, but works remarkably well. No FC's, and only slight screen rotation lag. So I can wait for Froyo... I am willing to wait because I want them to fix any and all bugs... Whether that be GPS, keyboard misses, screen rotation, whatever..
I am not a Sprint Lacky, have no stock in the company, but how people can get so emotionally attached to a software upgrade is beyond me. I can only imagine what people will be saying if they released a rushed buggy version.
Those of us that flashed the FroYo DK28 will still get this OTA if/when it comes out, right?
Still getting used to this phone. The Nexus One I used to have was a lot different.
I'd be happy with a new leak that's better than DK28 instead of "release dates" for froyo.

Not exactly. You will have to flash stock DI18 for the OTA to come through and install. But I recommend waiting for our dev teams to get hold of it first to tweak it.

hey guys i am sorry if this sounds like a rant and please dont hang me for this... but here i go....whats going on with our development status for our EPIC's....what i mean is like why is it taking so long for like new roms to come out i havent had my epic for about a month cause i shattered my screen and its being fixed but i still come back on here trying to keep up on anything new but nothing chages....like for me to be hell yeah i am trying that out on my epic as soon as i get it lol...like for example BONSAI rom ive been a fan of it all and it has not been updated in a month and half....i am sorry if this sounds ungrateful but can some one shine some light on the subject for me please??
What for you mean bonsai hasn't been upgraded in a month and a half. You must not follow that closely. I'm on bonsai 4.0.0 and have so for a week. Ec05 just dropped so everyone is updating their roms. Please pay more attention before you rant. You just might not know what you are talking about. Besides these developers do this for FREE. IF you dont like having updates every week make a rom yourself and then you'll realize how time consuming it is.

Good Lord. The bonsai ec05 was out before even released it publicly. I'm struggling with too much updates and flashing ever other week. Zzzzzz. I'm forcing myself to just chill out on old bonsai 3.0.1 cause I don't keep up with the rat race. Fun times on epic.

I'm not sure how you can make tha statement if you spend any time on these forums. It is constant updates, and if you look in the develop's forums nearly every one of the more popular ROM's has been updated since 3/18. What are you expecting a release everyday?
Me thinks you should make your own ROM and release daily.
Then I must ask are you looking for releases just for the sake of a release? If there is nothing wrong then what do you have to improve? While I am anxiously waiting SRF 1.1 because it is offering many improvements, at the same time my phone is blazing fast with the best battery life I have had..

well my mistake sir that i was not aware that you were suppose to go to the bonsai website to get the new updates i am use the the devs updating there thread with new downloads and changelogs and status.... and i never said they did not do them for free i never complained about that...and yes i am aware that its time consuming but..... all i asked was if some one can shine a light on me regarding if something was holding them back like stuck on something....but i guess i hurt some peoples feeling in here so
MOD PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD....I APOLOGIZE FOR HURTING ANYONE'S FEELINGS...
my feelings are hurt. le sigh.
So you were talking a bout a specific ROM? What about all the others that have been updated since 3/18?
And for the record, my feelings weren't hurt, I'm not a developer.
Every ROM I've EVER used has come outta Myn's repository. I've been stuck on his stuff like super glue. The last ROM he's released was 3 months ago for a first release Z port. I mean even flipzmode takes forever but he's had at least two more updates. I even figured he was waiting for an official GB OTA and base a new ROM off that but no green light still. Where the hell did the Guy go?! I suspected he moved to a different device but devs always USUALLY announce stuff like that. He still may have moved . Oh, and.don't flame me all you assholes just waiting to jump my ass. I've been on XDA forever just don't post. I know you guys live for crap like this but give it a rest. Its a question.

He is still around, he has been working on a rom called Synergy with many of the other developers. I just got an e-mail from him last night with the latest nightly. I wondered the same thing about a month ago, so I donated to him and asked to become a beta tester. It took a week before I heard anything back, but he e-mailed me, thanked me, and told me he was working on Synergy with xXxViRuSxXx and a few other developers. I joined Virus's Beta click a long time ago and now recieve e-mails from him and MYN. They are both still around and the rom looks like it's coming along real well. Shouldn't be much longer and you will probably see a release of it on here. If you don't want to wait, you could always donate to him or Virus and get access to it that way.
i've been using the nightlies since 05/31. It's a pretty sweet rom.
Too bad it's a closed beta (I didn't have to donate, but testes/devs/themers have privileges ) otherwise i'd link you.

The latest Kingdom is way better man!! At least in my OP.....it's 100% stable and seems as if everything is working.
You could, I don't know...go to one of the threads for his ROMs and see if there's any action, any posts from Myn.
There's always USUALLY a lot of action on one of those threads from both fans and Myn himself when a new ROM is nearly out or out.
Well, at least it's nice I guess that you realize that you're coming off like a douchebag.
Read the various subforums; if you had you would have realized that Myn is involved in the Synergy rom. I don't even use any of his roms and I've known about it for a while now.
He hasn't gone anywhere:

i actually didn't kno about the synergy thing. i heard alot about it, but didn't know who was working on it. myn? virus? sounds like one hell of a rom already. maybe get aamikan and even calkulin on it, and it sounds like the sense rom xda has been looking for...

who else is on the team?

There isn't any progress to follow, development is halted until Gingerbread Kernel source code is released and once that happens you can follow their progress at their GitHub.
dammn allright thanks for the info
I hear you man. I had cyanogen on my g1 back in the day. I really don't understand what is going on in github, not my language i guess. lol. I am waiting patiently until it comes out though. I wonder if they have fixed anything since alpha 4, or are they still on alpha 4?
The last update I read about CM7 for the Epic was they were starting from scratch with a new kernel, and they almost had it booting properly, so who knows. Guess once the source drops we'll probably see some action then..
Damn bro you had a G1 too? Maan. Remember the good old days?! We had everything. CM4 through CM7, Blur, Sense, etc... we had a lot. Now we barley have ANYTHING. I woke up this morning, I was like "Damn. I should've gotten the N1 when I was still with T-Mobile." The N1 still has development and probably will even when Ice Cream Sandwich comes out and maybe past that, and we're probably gonna get stuck. Dude. I wonder if the G1 will see Ice Cream Sandwich...?
[QUOTE=Original Android
I would think so, since it got that hc sdk port.

They have gone further than alpha 4, using some stuff from teamhacksung.. but they have to redo a lot, an start with a new kernel.. but as stated, development has halted for the most part... awaiting some colonels sauce..

Anyone else BORED?! I wanted this phone so bad, and I was extremely excited when I first got it in December. Its still a beast of a phone, but the flashaholic in me is BORED!

And who wants ICS anymore with the arrival of Jelly Bean! It just seems as if everything has slowed down CONSIDERABLY....and I get why....it just sucks!

If you're bored then you aren't taking full advantage of all the incredible ICS ROMs available.
Take a walk on the wild side and flash a new one each week until someone ports Jelly Bean, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm sure if it can be done one of our Devs will do it but most of them are focused on getting source for ICS right now so they can improve on their existing ROMs and build new ones.

I found myself to be "bored" as well, but then I realized that the reason was because of the stability I was getting on Blazer 4.0 (four months of use!).
Still looking for my fix, I started testing out all the new offerings on here. I ruined one GS2, "unbricked" it, bought a white one, then stopped in the GS3 forum to see that PH was making a Blazer rom for that too.
So I picked up a GS3 to keep me busy in my down time.

Bored seems to be a strong word. I don't think it's that the devs stopped working because there's still plenty going on. They are working hard with what they have but that's just the thing - they don't have a lot to work with. No source, nothing.
Things might be a bit more "exciting" for you if we had real access to Cyanogen or just AOSP in general but we don't. No offense to the devs involved in AOSP roms and the AOKP rom, but they are highly hacked in order to make them work decently on this phone.
For one we're dealing with the Exynos processor - not the S4. Also, Samsung sucked on their source release, from what I understand it was incomplete and will probably be the same with ICS. There's also the emergency call issue the CM team found which is why our phones not supported. Again, that's because of the incomplete source Samsung gave us citing 'proprietary code' being the reason it was incomplete.
So if you'd like to tell someone how bored your experience is with this phone - tell Samsung. Otherwise it's falling on deaf ears around here.
I stopped coming back because way too many people complain about everything...oh well

I'm only bored because I have found a stable daily driver.
Yes, it's exciting to have the latest, but ****s got to work.
Major props to chris41G and crew. I throw money at these guys as much as I can because without them, you would truly know what it is to be bored with your phone... Amazing stuff these guys are doing without source! :highfive:
i am still on aokp 37, even tho 40 is out i'm holding out for source. it's just sort of a pain to backup and reflash and set everything when i feel like it's so close to being "next level". 37 does have a few hiccups but it's been my daily driver since the day it was released.
with the gsiii out and jellybean as the new hotness, i really hope sammy doesn't hold out on us too much longer.
all that said, i don't think it's fair to criticize the scene here at xda (not that "being bored" is major criticism at that) as it's really samsung holding everything up.

I don't have my "sensative hat" on, I was just stating that if he's not happy go elsewhere. I don't put my stuff on the level as other devs here anyway. I dont consider myself a dev. The things they do are amazing. I would've never released anything without them and their work. So at least so some consideration to them and word it more to Samsung if that's what he's complaining about.
