Develop Bugs

Kinda stupid but...

Will the Samsung Epic 4G ever get official CyanogenMod Support? I just got one and opened it this morning and I'm regretting it a little bit. I could still change it for the Evo, but I like this phone, so I was just wondering if more developers will support this device and if it'll ever have official CM support...? Thanks.

Definitely stupid, no kinda about it.
If you had bothered to look around for less than 5 minutes you'd have seen that there is currently a CM7 port in progress that meets criterion for Official support and just needs to be submitted to receive official support.

Damn I didn't know you could Search my entire history and see that I didn't read that Thread? Oh wait, you can't... and hold on, I did.
It is just a port though. When's it going to be submitted? And also, how about Gingerbread? Samsung's been known for leaving a lot of their phones behind... you think we'll ever get Gingerbread or not?

It will be submitted when it's complete, if you read it like you say you did you would know that, and the Evo doesn't exactly have an official Gingerbread either so that would hardly be a logical criterion in keeping the phone.

Yeah, but it does have official CM7 support, and if you asked me which manufacturer I'd believe in more to provide me some Christmas Treats, I'd say HTC. Oh, and the neighbors loud music.

Hey I traded my evo for an epic and it has its pros and cons. It really is a much better device, better screen, faster, and it has the physical keyboard. The big down side is there is not as many devs on it.
There is a team right now working on build CM7 from source for the epic so it will then be supported by the cm team. They are getting close but there still are some bugs.
If I was you I would hold on to the epic its a pretty damn good phone.
Edit: CM will only support a CM rom if its built from source, so as right now its not supported by cm. But from what I understand they are still helping.

I strongly agree with what you said, and for that, I will hold onto the phone. Thanks for that.

gs2 is on the list but
what about epic touch?
does anyone hear any news on our update?

We'll get it, just takes longer for the US variants.

Seeing that the E4GT is a GS2 device my guess would be yes it will.

The other sites reporting the same thing are saying Q2 of 2012 which means april-june which means we'll get it later than that.

True, we wont "officially" get it though. Android central thinks 2013 for the US versions

"While there's no official timeline, expect the updates to start rolling out early next year -- then again in 2013 for the US carrier versions. Yeah, I went there."

Right and in 2013 they will be rolling out Jellybean or Keish loll

Im sure well see ICS, our specs pretty much match the Nexus Prime.

I don't know if you guys are like me, but I'm not stressing updates. We have support from devs. Not like I'm gonna keep this phone forever. Phones become outdated after 6 months anyway. I'm hooked on Android like a junkie. So I always stay current with my devices.

Exactly. By this time next year I will surely have a new device so I'm just enjoying this one while I have it. Coming from the original Epic, I am already used to the slow updates.

Amen to that!

I love the android platform, the open-ness, the developers, the support... just wish they would take a clue from apple and make sure our phones have the latest version when it drops. It isn't like it would take that long for the manufacturers to sit down and get it working. Look at the dev's we have...give THEM 2-3 weeks and they can build an AOSP rom... why cant Samsung?

There probably to busy blowin each other

A leAk plus some great devs are good enough for me

There's a lot of stuff that people don't think about when it comes to these things.
Here's a developer on a phone:
1 guys (possibly a few guys) working on 1 phone or several phones with very, very similar specs (e.g. the Evo and the Incredible)
Samsung:
A whole bunch of guys working on 1: all the phones that are out (which is a few versions of touchwiz spanning 4 versions of Android now) plus all the phones in development.
It's not like we have our own software guy drawing a Samsung paycheck who works exclusively on our phone. Those guys are all busy with ICS on the Nexus Galaxy and whatever else they have on the burners cooking and will eventually probably get back to us.
Patience. People didn't think we'd get gingerbread on the Evo...then we did...then no one cared because we already had a bunch of gingerbread roms.
It'll be the same way here.

I love my Android because of the developers, not because the ****ty carrier support and lack of updates

You can't compare an evo with a Samsung product. Do you know the OGepic does not have official gingerbread yet. They have leaks but I tried them and they all are buggy. Plus being on sprint we have the cdma version of the phone. So when the European get their ICS we can't do a simple port.

Actually, Samsung does indeed have dedicated teams to support EACH phone. They have a Sustaining (or is it Sustainment?) Engineering department that allocates programmers and engineers to each phone model (i.e. the SGS1, SGS2, the Moment, etc..) each have their own team for continued support of the phone throughout it's life. Once the life of a phone reaches it's "end", then the team members are freed up and can then be assigned to the next phone that'll be released.
It's true that Touchwiz itself has it's own software team, but it's implementation and tweaks to make it compatible with a particular phone is done by dedicated teams.

Where is miui & cm7?

Coming from the og evo to this makes me sad ,theres is very little roms or tweaks for this device and most have more problems than the stock does.Wish i could port roms myself but i dont even know where to start.
Wish list:
-Working miui rom
-working cm7 rom
-working sense 3.0 or 3.5 rom
I already know 3 people that have already sold this phone cause of los and countless other minor annoying issuses but mainly no real dev support or even a sign of anything good coming any time soon.i know these things take time but this phone has the worst reception of any sprint phone i have owned to date so its hard to stay positive.Me my wife and 2 other ppl i know have all the same issues so i know its not my handset and we live in nyc where service was great before this phone.im doing my best to hang in here and not go back to my evo.I love everything about my gs2 with exception of cell reception and 3g data speeds and 4g is truly pointless.Anyone know any updates on my wishes?

Can't put a sense rom on this device and Miui is based off CM7. The CM team will be getting our device shortly (if they don't have it already). And Teamwin now has an Epic Touch and they're working on their recovery for it. Samsung cdma devices always make slower progress with development. People either have to be patient or move on.

How long did it take the Evo4g to get ASOP ROMs after release?

Almost 2 months (6+ weeks if I recall) until we had CM6 RC1...
...Spoiled EVO4G scener who got in well after release I'd wager.
I had that phone on release day rooted in the RadioShack parking lot and aside from the millions of Fresh based sense roms (or themes, really) until AOSP came around the only interesting things were a smattering of cool kernels (to break the FPS cap, OC, UV, HAVS, etc)...and AOSP took almost 2 months.
OP, If you want it hack it or shut up.
EDIT: I don't mean to come off like a ****, but, a lot of us got very spoiled by the EVO4G scene...that phone was an amazing exception IRT development. I've never seen any phone accrue so much development results in such a short amount of time. I have been phone hopping ever since selling my EVO4G in June and came to terms with that a long time ago. The EVO3D is closer, but still nowhere close. There are millions of (mostly theme-based) ROMS...CM7 is coming along I hear, MIUI as well. I hated that phone, but, if you like Sense I don't know why you would get anything but an HTC. If I get an HTC and hate sense I know eventually I will be able to take it off, but, the opposite isn't anything I would bet on.

You should sell your epic touch and get a ppc6700... Just saying.

25th July 2010, 11:59 PM is when it was originally posted for the Evo. So 2 months, considering the Evo released on June 4th, 2010.

This phone has been out for 6 weeks! I'll go out on a limb here and say your expectations are out of whack dude. And no dev support? I'm sure the guys that have compiled really good kernels and ROMs already really appreciate that. I personally love slaps upside the face. I guess the guys that dev for Android find a way to block out all the BS and whiners and continue to push on for the greater good. I really don't know how they do it.

The funny thing is that the reason the EVO got so much support was it was hands down the best phone at the time.
Now Sprint has choices and with choices means less support on each device.
Just my opinion.

Once someone creates an AOSP kernel, it would help the develoment of CM7, CM9 and MUIMs.
The reason why OG EVO was so popular, because it was given to all the developers during last year Google IO. All the devs had a phone to develop on.
If you want to help, you should on work creating an AOSP kernel, its not a very easy task.

Please close this thread.

I forgot about that, yea that had a lot to do with it. As for the OP, stop whining, sell/trade your phone then, nobody cares. If your not going to contribute to the development, shut up and stand in line like the rest of us.

Well then who's stopping people from going back to EVO?

[Q] Quick question before purchasing this phone.

My EVO 4G just had a run in with a 2x12 and didn't survive to well so I'm thinking about picking this up from Sprint. I only really have 2 questions about it.
1. Is the SD slot behind the battery cover or is it on the side of the phone?
2. Does this phone have Cyanogenmod running on it? Do the standard SGS II Cyanogenmod roms run on it?

1, The SD slot is under the battery cover.
2. CyanogenMod is in development and there are no ROMs available yet.

There are about 15 ROMs available from other developers (not CM yet):

Trust me once you go Samsung you will never go back to HTC.

Right on. I am hooked.

So the sgs ii cm7 rom doesn't work here? That is pretty much a major deal to me. Is there any ICS going on here?

There isn't any cm yet. The other phones aren't compatible with cdma. Coming from an eris (Verizon hero) you won't mind not having cm too much there are plenty of good roms and it isn't like sense where it screws the entire phone unless you have cm. There is an alpha release of 7 but that's it for now.

Give it a week. It's coming. Once that happens ICS is next. Also MIUI is coming along nicely.

And don't forget to donate to CM when it DOES come! Those guys work their butts off for us! A beer is plenty

i used CM7 on my droid1 and htc evo and they were nice.
but trust me, the calkulin 2.6 is awesome
super battery life much better than what you got with cm7 on its best day.
just bc it doesnt have cm7... shouldnt deter you
i think this is the best phone on sprint right now.
and the dev community for the et4g is very good. aside from bashing noobs who are lazy... hahaha
I was gonna go htc.. but seriously, i am loving samsung.

Same here. I was putting off coming from EVO. Took the early upgrade and theres no looking back.

[Q] I'm surprised devs are still working on this device

I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.

Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
