Why is 4g and hdmi such a Hugh problem with gingerbread roms? Gingerbread is just a dot release mainly bug fixes and all. so then why no wimax?

It's all his fault, duh. He apparently didn't know which part of the rom to put the 4 gees in.
really??????
There is a gingerbread rom with 4g. Or wimax... try looking on the front page......also the reason why 4g and HDMI are difficult is because they are tied into sense.

Because of Hugh's obvious error with 4G/HDMI in Gingerbread, he has been fired. Development will now be handled by HTC. They promise a Gingerbread ROM with 4G and HDMI in… 8 months. 10/5/2011: mark your calendars.

That is the funniest **** I have read in a long time...sigged
Lmao I couldn't stop laughing for a while, I knew he would get flame, anyways back to the topic Idk how much knowledge you have about development roms in general and what stage the Evo is in the moment, to start the Evo is in froyo version 2.2 (there is a version 2.2.1 and 2.2.2) and it was released by sprint/HTC which they make the codes for the front facing camera (back then it was the first Android device with it that I know) , 4G and HDMI so they practically used they own source not android (but it did involved android) now cm7(gingerbread 2.3.2) is based on AOSP (android open source project) and the developer/s cynogen get all their source from Google android open source which back then(eclair 2.1/froyo 2.2) they didn't have a way to make the ffc camera and wimax (now they have ffc camera but not wimax or HDMI) , what really good developers are doing is writing a code for wimax almost 8 months later (is really hard to make it from scratch is not just a copy and paste job, they been working on it for months ) to work on an aosp rom which is great, the ones on sense (wimax/4G) don't work cause is tied to sense framework, so until HTC realease a official update the Evo will be considerer gingerbread (2.3.1/2.3.2) and HDMI and4G will work if they ever update it BTW this thing ain't easy to do and that's one thing the android fragmentation with all carriers and phone makers have a problem with and that's where cynogen mod come to the rescue ha ha, cm/sense user BTW

back to business: there is none, because gingerbread roms are roms from either the sdk or nexus s that have been ported. the devs had to re-write all the kernel codes and radio codes and everything. that is FREAKING HARD TO DO!
recently, toastchf and shinzul actually wrote a wimax code to work on gingerbread. THEY FREAKING REVERSE ENGINEERED WHAT PROBABLY TOOK HTC/SPRINT MONTHS. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS?
where is your development? i see none. i just see you asking for something that took months of hard work that is actually like 3 threads below yours.

+1 on that... I honestly see more people asking real (hate to say it) stupid questions in here more than anything else. Nobody takes the time out to look for sh&t and then get mad when they are told to do some research. Thats why we have pages and pages of people destroying their phones. Keep up the good work guys of smacking people like this around it keeps me coming back and laughing....
P.S.A - People do some lurking before you ask dumb questions and do some searching as well. Don't root flash or do anything related to that until you do your damn homework.... Deuces!

I decided to put this in development section to be sure that EVERY cooker sees it! In the dream's zone they've already ported an almost fully-functional froyo! And guess what...IT RUNS ON .29 KERNEL! Does it mean that all the drivers for eclair will work with froyo too? I'm not really sure about it but I suppose you're all waiting for the complete rom are you? Then you will modify it to run on Hero? I really hope so...By the way here the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686105
I thought it might be useful to some developer that has not enough time to take a look to other sections of the forum And, in my honest opinion, I think eclair development should be stopped in favor of froyo...That's all folks!

Come on man give it some time.
The current builds are based on the SDK or the nexus one ota or a mix of those.
Wait till google releases the source to git and see what happens.
I have already ported Froyo since day 1 (sdk), but useability was very low.
I'll have a look at the nexus build and make a hybrid, since looks like it's the most successful atm.

It was already clear that Froyo will work with the .29 kernel.
The earliest builds where used with the emulator-images in the SDK that got released (like adwinp did). Nothing too functional, but fun to play with for a bit.
Chefs could work with porting the officially released Nexus1 ROM...
.. but I guess, that they are waiting for the source to hit the official Android git's. (Is android even using git?). Trying to port a ROM for a device with different resolution and hardware isn't impossible, but compiling from official source is easier.
So if the source hits quickly (and people guess it is) they can compile from source, use a .29 kernel (which everybody is playing and testing with now) and have a pretty good functional froyo build

Hi guys, I installed the cyanogen mod 6.1.2 and the modified kernal for wimax on my evo. For the life of me i cannot figure out why i can't see it on the settings, or in the status bar. I did a forum search and i check out a few videos on youtube. I can't figure it out. Does anyone know why this is happening, and can anyoen help me figure out how to get 4g to work on the evo?
I'll answer this nicer and easier than probably anyone else here will...
FIRST - Wrong section.
SECOND - CyanogenMod 6.1.2 is not compatible with WiMax or 4G. CyanogenMod 7.0 is the only AOSP that I know of compatible with 4G.
Yup, there was only a brief 6.1.2 test of WiMax and it was replaced by CM7 ever since, and is now considered stabled.
Not so nice response: This isn't Q&A.
listen big buddy tough nuts, look at you acting like a **** because i asked a question, after i did initial research and couldn't find an answer.
Cm 6 had an experimental rom with wimax. Those days are long gone when our battery would last an hour. Besides, its been merged into cm 7.

Dude chill out. Those were 2 of the nicest responds you will get. Now with your response you are asking to get hammered now. Short and sweet answer is Wimax doesnt work on CM6, wimax has only recently been implemented into CM 7 Nightly 8 and higher I believe.

Right. So after researching, post in the correct section. Searching does not give you the right to post questions in the dev section, then get pissed cause people aren't nice to you.
If you don't play by the rules, people will be mean, suck it up and be a big boy.
Your misunderstanding came with the fact that 6.1.2 has a kernel that has WiMAX **SUPPORT**
This does not mean 6.1.2 has WiMAX working
All it means is that the KERNEL makes it so it is CAPABLE of working, were it implemented in the OS, not just the KERNEL.

I agree completely. And I think that people should be informed of the way things are ran around here. I just don't like people who feel the need to be downright obnoxious to people for making a mistake. The damage is done by that point, answer the question, and inform them that they should search from now on. It disgusts me that people get so high and mighty on forums.
Regardless of what question is asked.. Most likely the person asking didn't come in here to ruin someones day or make a similar question to someone else. They simply came here to ask a question or get some advice.. To actually take the time to post some idiotic insult is beyond moronic and basically just says you have nothing better to do with your time than troll forums and bash people for what you "obviously" already know.. This equates to one possible solution for everyone involved.. GET A LIFE!!!
To answer what someone else asked.
I dont think it is possible to do anything with a phone that has a OTA update if Gingerbread on it. I remember reading that it is not possible to undo that update. you simply must wait for the Root to come out, which should be soon.
These Devs are some of the smartest people on the planet, and should be working for HTC et al. They are most likely waiting for some code to be released, just like I am waiting for some coding to be released to I can get a new Kernel for my Synergy ROM.
what do people find so hard to understand that in order for 4g to work on aosp (ie. MIUI, Cyanogen), we need the proprietary wimax drivers from samsung???
the only other option is to have somebody code the drivers from scratch.

I feel your pain. But, unless one of these recurring questions goes woefully unanswered I'll just shut up. I used to try diligently to educate everyone as they filed in the new-recruits barracks. I've done that a lot over the years as nerdy hobbies of mine have actually taken root in mainstream society...and I've also noticed the same pattern.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. It's the natural progression of the situation. The thing is we are just at the beginning of the smart-phone era. No, I don't mean the prehistoric smart-phone era, pre iphone. This is the beginning of the 'modern' smartphone era. Post-iPhone/Android. The vast majority of people who own cellphones still do not have a smartphone....so...this 'issue' is only going to get worse and worse and worse. Even though we are but a tiny sliver of the smartphone owning population our ranks will continue to swell for years. What was the last number I read, over 800,000+ Android activations *per day*!??? That is a rate that is only increasing. This time last year I think it was hovering around 150k a day and I was blown away....
...interesting times.
So is 4g working on Miui? :sly::what:

Yes, either hound the ever living **** out of Samsung on Twitter and Facebook to release the code or do it yourself.
It is true though ...everything anyone would ever want to know has been posted dozens of times. I think people just get frustrated if they get back wrong results in "search"

So 4G is now available on AOSP! Awesome! I was just going to ask for an ETA, too.
The thing that I dont get, and Im just putting this out there......if you tweak your wimax radio setting on the OG Epic, the Nexus S, or the Epic 4g Touch (##DATA#), they all have the same settings, they are all Samsung phones, and they are all "Galaxy S" devices in one form or another.....so dont they use the same WIMAX radios? If so, the drivers are right there in the Nexus.

Interesting question. I know that the dialer code is slightly different on NS4G (*#*#data#*#*) but I do have my WiMax settings exactly the same.

Based on the tear down one of the sites did the E4GT has a different wimax chip made by Toshiba while the NS4G has a Samsung chip. I also saw someone claim that they are actually the same, one was just a rebranding of the other or something like that.
Basically it boils down to someone needing to actually go debug the 4G and see if the already existing CM7 code can work with minor tweaking or if reverse engineering of the drivers is required.
They need to have a auto ban script enabled for when aosp and Wimax/4g are mentioned within 500 characters of each other.

I think it would be easier to put in the 4G not working like they used to do in EVO and they do in NS4G forums, or they can also say 4G will never work. Saying this because they always include what is not working while publishing all AOSP roms.

Good point. I support this idea.
Not sure what specific wimax radio the touch uses, but usually it is the radio manufacturers being closed, not the phone manufacturer. Wimax is mostly proprietary technology. In order to get access to the detailed radio datasheet, which is needed to write the drivers, you usually need to be high volume and sign an nda not to share it. I can almost guarantee Samsung can't release the wimax code because of these nda's.
Curious how they got it working on the evo.
Edit: so the touch uses the Toshiba TC31501AAMBG for wimax. Link of you find a detailed datasheet for it.

Dozens of people all working on ICS and JB roms but not a single one of them are fully working.
Without HTC's help in releasing the drivers for the FFC and camcorder will there ever even be a working rom or are all of them just going to miss out on features of the phone forever? 4G not working is fine since 4G EVO version is not going anywhere, but missing out on the camcorder and FFC are big deals..
Seems like this topic comes up at least once a week now, in some way or another.
To answer your question though, no. Without the source for the drivers, developers would have to come up with it from scratch, which is very meticulous and time-consuming as I understand it. Sure, the possibility exists, but I believe the chance of it happening is slim to none. Not that I think the developers couldn't do it, but we're talking about a device that's 2+ years old now. There are newer and greater devices out there that are still being supported, not only by great developers but also the manufacturer, which is key to this entire issue. When the OG lost the support of HTC and went EOL with Sprint, it was pretty much game over as far as source code ever went. If you want a fully-functional ROM, stick with GB-that's where the OG shines

As you can see the development for the OG is just about dead,theres no real reason for anyone to attempt to make a driver for it,the phone is close to being obsolete,so it would be useless.

What I really wonder is why HTC wouldn't release the drivers for a phone that's already EOL...but I guess they want to force us to upgrade...and it's working.

I completely agree, as long as they feel that they could loose profit by having potential customers sticking with their old phone, they wont release a thing. But when ICS is old news, then don't be to shocked if they just happen to go ahead, and out if pitty, throw it our way.

But it would sure be nice if they had the heart to let us have it now.
That's why my next phone is going to be a nexus .

They can't release something they don't have. Do you really think they would write drivers for a device they no longer support? That's a waste of time and resources better spent working on currently supported devices.

I'd like to make the drivers...theyre linux drivers in their base...I wonder what porting them from GB would really take. It be a great show of solidarity among OG Evo 4g users and a big middle finger to Sprint and HTC. Also, really kick ass. At any rate, maybe instead of *****in we should be learnin.

It's true, but I believe it's because there are a lot more newer devices that are being supported. This is an old phone and i'm surprised it's still being developed. For me, I'm using this JB Rom and loving it so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947452.
I do believe there will never be a fully functioning JB ROM cause the camera drivers don't match up. Not to mention the EVO hit its max software with GB. Anything past that starts to lag. Having that issue now with JB on my Nexus S.
