Whatever happened to CM7? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I saw there was a someone developing it for our device some months back but it seems to be dead now & is not fully functional. Maybe I'm crazy but I would still love to use CM7 in the midst of all this ICS/Jelly Bean craziness I loved it on my DX

Our developers have moved on to cm10 now bro. I guess there is no Interest in cm7

Cm7 never got full support on our device. And then ICS came out and cm9 was the next big thing.

Dude I just logged on to make a thread asking the same question! I'm sure cm7 on this phone would have been bad ass! Sadly it probably won't happen til later on down the road after this phone is old and done and someone decides to tackle it for fun.

Honestly if wimax was working I'd gladly take the jump onboard cm7 for awhile. Never got to experience cm7 on this phone. Not to mention this phone was built to run gingerbread!

I wonder why they waited all the way until ICS was released to open source HC.

I had Cm7 running for a couple days, can you say butter! It was so nice to have a ROM like that. And the themes was a bonus. It only needs a little more work in my opinion.

CM7 brings back bad memories for this community. People keep asking about it like twice a week too.
Bubby and that who what when where why. Guy apparently ripped people off and that was about the end of CM7 on the E4GT. CM9 took focus and CM10 is dividing it a little now.

yeah I had a feeling something bad happened with that kid, I would never wanna bring back bad memories. I just like the rom.

I believe the source is still there. Not sure how hard it would be but with GB source being available for this phone if someone wanted they could compile it. I'm sure it would get some love. There is always people out there that like to run older builds for fun. Hell I saw cupcake being built for one phone. Can't remember which but I thought it would be pretty cool to try it.

Enjoy the phone you have (ICS Source Related)

I just wanted to provide a back to reality moment:
Our phones are nice, they are fine the way they are. Sure we all want CM, and other new roms to load that are above 2.3.5, but before things get crazy about ICS, just remember to be happy now. It might save you a lot of anger and frustration later.
Any-who, back to the histeria. PS - don't harass rom developers. It's like when you were a kid and you begged for a toy at the store. You only achieved annoying everyone around you, and all you got for it was a smack in the head.
So your saying we shouldn't be excited to move beyond gingerbread? Im happy with my phone but I know as development moves forward our phones will get much better!
I agree. Let the Ice Cream drop when it drops.
The bounty is still there and I'm still willing to donate. That should push the Sandwich early.

Pretty sure some of the guys in the developement section would argue this.
lol smh, their working on it, some people just refuse to be patient, we have one of the best, if not the best devices out now(and will be for a while), great battery, top of the line screen(better then the iphone 4s, and yes i've compared them side by side), easy root process, great roms(which constantly are updated), nice themes, plenty mods and fixes, i mean what is there to complain about, LOS??? yea i had it a few times but haven't had it in a while, everything won't be perfect on every phone.....we will get ICS, just enjoy what u have until then

No, what I'm saying is that if you can't do it yourself be happy with what you have until it is ready. If one cannot wait perhaps they should try a different phone. People expect their device to have developers in tow as if it were a Nexus device. This isn't common to only our device. If people really want ICS, a Nexus 4G can be had on eBay for 180 bucks.

Unless you develop stuff yourself, yes. What else are you in control of regarding when it gets a custom anything.
Do I want ICS, hell yes. Can I wait? Well I have to. If I want to be on the edge of custom roms, my choice on Sprint, is the Nexus S 4G.
This isn't a hard concept. You'll only cause yourself grief obsessively wondering if and when it will be here.
ASOP ICS doesn't mean we will now magically have roms. We had ASOP Gingerbread, and but no CM7 alpha public release. What's changed?
This is just a tip to grasp the now, and look forward to the future without loosing sight of the difference between a need and a want.

Can not wait to port my minimal black and white theme to this joint
Wow. Just seeing an Alpha of CM9 working on my E4GT gives me chills. Way to go devs.
F*** the haters.
Can anyone be nice enough to a noob and tell me what this means..?
CM9 is ICS in other words? So it will developed enough to be daily ROM?
The flashaholic in me is itching to try this out...
Details here..
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-status.html
Anyone try this yet? I loved CM7 on my EVO and miss it. Haven't rooted my ET yet but will when CM9 is stable enough. Though might make the jump when they get GPS working, which sounds like will be coming soon. Good to hear 4G is working.

ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE

Im loving the development work that is going on for our beautiful TMobSGS2, but I'm surprised I havent seen a ICS port yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus images being released.
Is anyone working on this in secret, or are there any other ICS roms that happen to work on our phone?
I would truly just love a rooted stock ICS rom. thats my dream at the moment. I dont know how to improve on ICS except switches in the notification bar, which is easy enough.
I doubt we will have a good working ICS before atleast a month from now. That is if we even get a stable one.
ICS came out two weeks ago on galaxy nexus...if you really want it then buy a galaxy nexus.

Are there going to be any pure ics roms made for galaxy s2. Currently using a vibrant with pure ics running, love pure ics just want a faster phone. Saw recent video running ics on galaxy s2 with no visible changes nothing like nexus. I suppose it its because of touch wiz. Is there a dev working on pure ics like what is on nexus? Trying to figure which phone to get. Thanks for your comments in advance.

theres gotta be a million people working on a rom for it, the sources are out.
just below your thread is posted about how it's coming officially. If someone doesn't make it stable before the end of q1 [pfffft] at least samsung will have it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402463&page=2
There should be some roms soon. Best you may be able to hope for is a CM based rom. Not pure ICS but pretty close
Where did that ics port thread go?

Well considering all the idiots in this forum... you tell me if it went well -_-
Cause ignorant @ssholes wont shut up and troll on the stupid thread. So Rev probably requested it to be deleted. Honestly non of us in the community should get a developement anymore cause as a community we all should be one... Not a majority being trolls and wont shut up. And have a small lil percent of grateful people. It doesnt matter what hes been doing in the past.. You find lil things just to fraud a dude and you bash him for trying. Thats when its really dissappointing how immature adultls are still out there. MATURE A LIL AND GET AN IDEA WHAT XDA IS ALL ABOUT

Yep, thanks to our epic dev's over on the Skyrocket, MIUI, and ICS is being worked on.
Not to say your devs aren't great, I personally run a T-Mo ROM because I like it a lot (Revenge of Macnut, but the damn LTE framework issues pisses me off), but I want MIUI so bad, it's the only thing that'll hold me over until ICS is near completion.

Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.

Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].

Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.
Alright fellas come on now this how you show a new guy what the epic touch family is about lol naw but seriously I understand where you both are coming from and I've seen product around here a lot so I know he wouldn't steer me wrong but I see where yall coming from and thanks

Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.

I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.

Also to the OP, try out Blu Kuban if you're still looking for a good ROM.
