I am thinking of getting an epic and had some questions.
I see there is an alpha for CM7 for the epic. I also read somewhere that it used a 2.2 kernel and was hacked together in a way that isn't approved by the cm team. Is that the case?
Can the epic be used on cricket? If so can it be done with custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
CM7 both yes and no. Noobnl and some others broke away and were building, but there was some politics involved. Now the CM7 team is different and is congruent with CM now.
There is a thread in the Development forum that will show you how to do the cricket thing.
Can the epic work on Virgin Mobile?
Anyone know about virgin mobile?
Finally, this section took too long to get here!
Now, let's get to it:
Tell us what phone you are coming from, and if you plan on developing in some form for the E4GT.
I'm known as Mr. Z. I'm coming from an Epic 4G, and I plan on theming for this device. Also, I'm part of a group called Epic Revolution for Android, so I'd be looking forward to good stuff coming from us in the future.
Coming from the original EVO. Bought it on its launch date last June. That was my first smart phone so all I know is HTC. Will be curious to see what Samsung has to offer.
Unfortunately have no developing skills.
Coming from a evo. I got one on launch day and ran all the Snap development kernels at the beginning... Along with Netarchys too. The original evo development was so fun. I think this phone may bring that back.

I'm coming from the Epic 4G... I'm not a developer or themer but I plan to contribute in any way I can aside from that.
Coming from a launch date Epic as well. Hope to learn enough to develop. May share my theme if I get it up to par with what some of the dev teams are able to offer. Glad to see a few familiar faces Mr Z and iSaint.
I am coming from the Epic 4G. I got it on launch day. I am not a dev but I test for just about every one that we have. Obviously, I will be flashing this phone quite a bit as well.

Hello everyone. I still have my Evo 4G, tried many ROMs and kernels, and made a few things myself.
Samsung has left a bad taste in my mouth from their previous phones, but the E4GT is too appealing not to try. I'll definitely take this phone for a spin. I know a bit about android and can find my way around, so I'll do my best to help out and add to this community if I keep this phone.
Coming from an Epic 4G. Been waiting months for this phone! hopefully it doesn't take me too long to get used to not having a physical keyboard.

I'm on the fence still. I'm thinking about giving my evo 3d to my wife so I can pick up the gs2. I'm gonna have to take it for an in store test run run on Saturday to see if I like the larger display.

Coming from the Evo 4G, I plan to try and provide as much tech support for the device as I can, just like on the Evo forums.
It looks like we're going to have an awesome community behind this beastly device.
Hero - EVO - Nexus S 4G - Epic Touch.
Can't wait for this phone...crazy powerhouse. I may go back to the Nexus S 4G depending on how long ICS takes to come to the Epic Touch. But I'm keeping both.
Considering the ET4G still... I still have my epic 4g, had it since launch. Also had an evo from launch as well as the og droid so I've been with android for some time. I'm learning java and android development but I'm still in early stages... I'll be trolling these forums for a while to see how development picks up around here and if it turns out well i will surely be making the jump.

Im coming from the Epic 4G. I hated the keyboard but bought it anyways because all the hype going on about the galaxy s. I rarely used the keyboard, partly because it skipped keys.
Ill be picking up my epic touch on friday. Im excited about this beast!
Hi,

#epic-touch4g
I've been seeing a lot of threads pop up from the EPIC 4G Touch users. Just want to be clear that this is for the NON-Touch version. If you have the Epic 4G Touch, please go here: EPIC 4G TOUCH SECTION, as no one here will probably be able to help you. Thank you.
I know that this has nothing to do with the Epic but I'm coming here to seek guidance. I moved from an Epic 4G to a SideKick 4g and support is dead so is the forums. I'm wondering how difficult would it be to port CyanogenMod 6 or an older MIUI version to the device?
Which phone would be best to use to port CyanogenMod 6? The Sidekick 4g has a Hummingbird processor but like the Epic 4G it has a keyboard and a lot more differences than the other Galaxy S series phones.
Maybe I should of PM'ed someone instead of posting here and if you fill this shouldn't be here please delete it.
You just kind of posted at a bad time.
Another porting thread was JUST made.

I don't think porting cm is possible. You have to build from source. After you have that, miui should be easy. Let me know and I can try to help you

Waiting for a miracle to happen. -.-
When wil dev start making lollipop for epic 4g touch. Its already there for the original samsung galaxy s2. CM devs please read this post and port the s2 i1900 lollipop to epic 4g touch.
If any developers are making a lollipop rom for e4gt please post in this thread.

Yes, a miracle will happen, but not anytime soon. Dastin is in the middle of testing 5.x.x for the Epic Touch but he's also busy with life. Give it time and subscribe to the original / android dev or follow him on forums and you'll know if a rom kicks in for LP.
