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.
this has been asked and answered dozens of times in these threads, why are people so thick that they can't accept the answer???
you want it? learn to code and build it!

Due to recent events of not recognizing my humor, I hereby post this disclaimer: It's humor-not meant to offend anyone. That is all.
I understand you can't always read back. when I'm using the app on the phone, it's a pain in the ass and search isn't worth crap. but I get insane when I'm trying to look for updates on something from work real fast and I have to go through:
-X isn't working, is there a fix?

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:

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.

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.

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

As far as the pics rotating on you yeah it is annoying. I just take all my pics In landscape mode so they don't come out sideways.

Is it just me, or does this just seem more like a "HTC is better" spammer? Either way, Most major problems are solved by apps, such as the Facebook app mentioned above. Plus, no one seems bothered by the portrait/landscape extra step. So that is why no developer is wasting their time with it. The developers on here work hard to fix the short comings of stock phones (Such as seriously lacking battery life) Which, with my a new ROM and Kernel, I had over 20 hours of battery life today while TRYING to kill my battery. So I would say the developers are doing a splendid job, and you just come off ungrateful.

Just be nice to come up with a fix for said problem. Why HTC can and others can't beyond me but spamming as you say a brand like HTC. Well, that's the truth and I am correct in my statement and have verified on other phones. Did you not read my post where I praised xda? Notice my post said devs? I meant that in hopes of not receiving comments as such as I believe this is a feasible question. You sir discredit the notion that people might attain information via other forums.
Question still stands? Thanks in advance!
Simple answer: HTC added a feature. There's no bug in the others. HTC is tagging the photos to mark which ones are portrait, then displaying them rotated. The pictures, though, are actually still in landscape, just turned to the side as your phone is.

Why not try some other mms apps in the market? While the devs here often help when they can, it its usually because many people want something changed, you are the only one who seems to need this purely cosmetic feature. On top of that, this site is for learning and developing. If no one wants to use their time to make you an app, their are plenty of resources for you to do it yourself. Or show a high need for the feature to entice the developers. At the moment you are the only one who cares.
Sent from my Epic RED BEAST with a GENOCID[E]AL kernel from the transparent XDA app from theimpaler747
went to a sprint store and the sprint representive said the EE03 for the epic 4g was a fake and was not the real gingerbread but a covered up version of 2.2 froyo is this really true????
Lol are you serious? The guys messing with you
xDDDDD. Wait you were serious? Sorry.
He's messing with you man. EE03 is a leaked version of 2.3.3, it most certainly NOT 2.2!
No. Otherwise Netflix wouldn't work on it. It is NOT an official release but a beta version. There will be later versions before it is released.
i can't speak for others, but IMHO the devs in this community know more than 99% of "Sprint store" employees about what is going on with the epic and with gingerbread.
Have you tried running the leaked EE03 rom? it has some functionality to it that is definitely an improvement over stock EC05 froyo, but also definitely a little way to go before a fully functional gingerbread release.
on a different note -- anyone hear about the progress of EE19?

Let's see, not only is the Nexus a newer phone than the Nitro (Oct 2011 for Nitro, Nov 2011 for Nexus), but it:
1) Actually has stable Jelly Bean from Google
2) Actually can make it through a day of heavy use and still have battery left over
3) Actually has more than 3 person developing for it
4) Runs twice as smoothly as the Nitro, and crashes...well, never.
But since you're on here bashing anyone who criticizes the faults of the Nitro, I guess I shouldn't hold you to too high of a standard either. Nor would I expect you to understand the logic behind why I went with the Nexus and not the One X or SGS3, or why one of my friends, an admin here on XDA, still keeps his Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver despite having an SGS3 and getting free phones to test all the time. But I'll give you a hint: specs alone don't determine the user experience.

I don't understand where this is coming from. Looking at the 996gt2's original post, he didn't insult anyone at all. He just said he hoped the bugs with CM are worked out.

Let's see, not only is the Nexus a newer phone than the Nitro (Oct 2011 for Nitro, Nov 2011 for Nexus), but it:
1) Actually has stable Jelly Bean from Google
2) Actually can make it through a day of heavy use and still have battery left over
3) Actually has more than 3 person developing for it
4) Runs twice as smoothly as the Nitro, and crashes...well, never.
But since you're on here bashing anyone who criticizes the faults of the Nitro, I guess I shouldn't hold you to too high of a standard either. Nor would I expect you to understand the logic behind why I went with the Nexus and not the One X or SGS3, or why one of my friends, an admin here on XDA, still keeps his Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver despite having an SGS3 and getting free phones to test all the time. But I'll give you a hint: specs alone don't determine the user experience.

well, i am sure you are well on your way to getting that rocket science project designed with your nexus, it will certainly get those daily tasks done that much better than the nitro, so much so that you felt the need to let us all know about your big decision.

i couldn't care less if you understand where this is coming from, if you wanted to understand, you'd do a search and find for yourself the op's incessant ****-talking about cm.
again though, i could not give 2 ****s if you get my post or not.

Alright, I think the discussions have crossed the line with these last comments. There is no one perfect device for everyone... unless, of course, you are one of the Sheeple who believes everything Apple says. If we're so worried that someone else prefers another phone over what we have chosen ourselves, we may as well be playing for the other team.
Anyway, fun time's over, and as such:

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.

Could have asked here I suppose, sorry
It hit the Desire HD, those ports have been made!
