For the people that are not on G+ or follow a few of the cyanogenmod team members that are on it I wanted to repost what Koush said about an hour ago. I know people are waiting for CM7 on the E4GT but at the same time pestering the dev's is not going to get us anywhere and in turn could get them upset.
Epic 4G Touch Users: The devices were donated to us by RootzWiki, with absolutely no strings or expectations attached. Please stop asking for ETAs, it's extremely irritating and pretty disheartening.
Regardless, for those asking about Epic 4G Touch, here's what has been done with it so far:
The first official template/guide for building Samsung recoveries, specifically tested on Epic 4G Touch:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8296-gui...rkmod-recovery-into-samsunginitramfs-devices/
It also helped add external/internal sd card support in CWR and RM:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/89ed0b7355e93c145bb40483db5f79766a00e7df
You may not appreciate it, since it doesn't get you CM7 immediately. But this is the kind of work that streamlines the process for future Samsung devices getting properly supported and mainlined.

Just a reminder guys give them time and chill. It takes time to get something great for these phones.

Thanks for the update! just knowing that they are working on it has my mouth watering!
I agree with the op. Bothering developers about it will not get it done any faster. It might them quit working on it. So everyone please just enjoy your phone now and good things are coming to us.

True, but it's still nice to hear about their progress every now and then. We hadn't heard about anything other then rootzwiki giving koush an e4gt. Can't wait to have some aosp goodness

The fact that Samsung can't even get off their ass to fix such a serious problem like LOS much less update their phones definitely makes people antsy about getting AOSP (which also helps bring other development)
Thanks for the update! I really need to follow them on Google+
Koush is the man! Noobs....let him be.
For what its worth I don't think the hangup is Samsung and lies more in the hands of Sprint who apparently have had a Samsung update submission and haven't done anything with it...for various reasons given I don't understand.
In addition to Samsung stepping up their game since the Samsung S's releases (namely beginning with SGS2 they also tried to counter their poor update record.
During the time I had the SGS2 from April through July we had THREE Samsung updates...coming fairly quickly after known issues.
The carrier here is the roadblock.
Lesson? Get the Nexus Prime.

The problem with the idea that Sprint is holding up the updates is three fold:
1) Why would Sprint hold up the LOS fix? They're losing money on constant credits and device exchanges.
2) Samsung has a history, no matter what carrier, of not being anywhere near prompt with updates.
3) Also, why would Sprint hold up updates for only Samsung devices? Other device makers don't seem to have issues.
I think the fact is, Samsung sees the international market as more important than the U.S., and is even less concerned with the CDMA market.
I am so exited! Got my phone and stock drove me CRAZY within a few hours. The folks at CM seriously spoil us. We are so lucky to have them. I don't know why the small group of geniuses at CM can develop a ROM that is AWESOME and the stock ROMs suck so bad. I mean, she wouldn't anyone want to know what their battery percentage is, or have options for their dock and lock screen style, or not throw their battery and performance in the dumpster!
Not only does CM put out awesome ROMs in a timely manner, they do it across like twenty devices and eight manufacturers for free! ! ! Friggin miraculous. Anyway, thank you! Let's not be impatient because the miracle takes a couple weeks longer than convenient.

Why do people bug the crap outta the poor devs. Best thing to do is don't get the device right when it comes out if you can't wait. KOUSH and the other devs have life's. He will bring it in time believe it.

Hey Nifnard,
How would I know his actual handle?
I know how to search in G+ and when I searched for Koush a log of profiles came up. I bet you were giggling like a little school girl when you were posting.
People on this website are full of themselves. I miss the old XDA.

Google is a verb. So true. All my friends and family members probably think I'm an asshole because I google everything on my "google phone" to prove everyone is wrong. Sadly I prove myself wrong too at rare occasions.
I'm not asking for a date just wondering how it is coming along and how close are we to nightly's. I'm starting to Jones, its been almost 3 months since I flashed anything........

Same here, but you are going to get flammed for asking this. lol.
It has gotta be close though. Other phones have nightlies already.

The first rule of CM is NOT TO ASK! It will come when it comes.
Besides the camera and wifi wont work until HTC releases the drivers for them or someone writes new drivers for them. Both of which wont be any time soon.

Undetermined; just shows all the changes made to the rom. It'll be released when its done...just have to check it periodically. You'll know when, because it'll be all over xda.
Not asking for a release date just info about the Rom, and more than anything whether or not there will be an open beta. The camera and WiFi are non issue with me and hell we had broken WiMax and hw004 camera issues for almost 8 months with 7, but there were still nightlies.
Wth am I looking at on that post lol. I was dur when I saw all that. Is that a change log of the future lol.
cowboy up
Ics is cm9 for evo 4g pretty much if you think about it.
cowboy up
CM9 will come when it comes. There are plenty of 4.0.1/4.0.3 builds in the dev area to hold you over and many of these development are working from/with/are part of the CM9 code. If you were in Fight Club would you talk about Fight Club? DON'T ASK, DON'T WONDER...if anything it makes devs irritated that people are violating the imposed rules.
Digitally transcribed from my Boosted OG EVO 4G Primed w/ Anthrax!
Follow me on Twitter @Bill_Dollar
I think we all want to know when CM9 will come out... but if you do at least a little searching you will know that they are not updating with progress. CM devs don't really like to be bugged about progress. Like someone else said, first rule is not to ask lol.
Yeah, but the rule is "Don't ask for an ETA.". OP said very clearly in his post that he's not looking for a date. I believe he was hoping to read about some of the progress, at least thats how I read it. Also comparing Cyanogenmod with Fight Club is not really a fair comparison as Cyanogenmod doesn't hide and ask that no one tell anyone about the CM builds. Besides all that, this post was answered with a link to the progress page in the third post.

All I get there is "Yahoo API is down, please try about five minutes later."
I'm also curious about the current state of CM9 for the EVO, mostly so that I can know if it's worth the effort to attempt to build myself or not. I'm surprised I haven't seen any CM9 kangs floating around.
People need to chill the **** out on the "don't ask for ETAs" thing. People get curious, relax. Zero news makes it seem like a project or a device is abandoned. A weekly or monthly "still working on it" update is totally acceptable, but when the last we heard about anything was months and months ago, we get antsy. I know nobody owes me anything. But if you want me to give a ****, don't be a big crybaby when we wonder what you're doing. It only means that we like what you do, don't bite the hand that (kind of) feeds you.
This message is not directed at anyone in particular; mostly the zealot followers who like to regurgitate "the rules."

Just wondering, someone on the TMO forums told me that always toss in a couple months extra on any timeline giving for a release of a rom by devs. Still kind of new to the whole thing on the SGSII, but from your experience has cyanogenmod been pretty good at meeting there announced goals? Of course I am talking about CM9, but I am just wondering so I don't get my hopes up. I know they said 2 months which would make the release some time this month, but how are they with meeting announced goals?
Not sure where you got your info but official CM never provides ETAs. Its ready when its ready. I know this doesn't help you but that their policy.
correct
the first thing you should learn is
you NEVER ASK for ETA to any DEV, specially CM Devs, unless you want them to stop Dev on your device
I caught that really fast my day on the forum, this post was not meant to ask for a ETA but more so ask how well is there turn around time on past etas that they have giving? I know they work really hard for all of us to make these rom and I have so much gratitude for that. Not just referring to CM9 but have they giving a ETA in the past like this? If so, how good are they are meeting those ETAs in the past? Personally I would rather wait a little longer if it means a quality rom.

Thats why I am curious. On there site they announced it would be 2 months from November, but my thoughts were that was for our rom for our device. Didn't realize at the time that they support more than one device. Who knows, no worries.
let just say any time you hear, or even they mention in their own website are never correct
that's their best guess, but in the end every one got their real life to deal with before they deal with the ROM development
the longest hiatus was when CM himself was just hired by Samsung, and there was almost 4 month without any activity when he was moving from one side of the country to the other to start working for Samsung
Yeah, I remember when he got hired it was all over the web. Well, good to hear thanks for the feedback guys. Not trying to nag or anything.
Yup, the Atrix 4G, the phone I was previously on, which my mom is currently using, just got a CM9 ICS ROM -_-;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052
We need to start moving and trying to get ICS on the Nitro. Even the Rezound also got AOSP ICS port, albeit some things still borked.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-rezound-gets-pure-aosp-ice-cream-sandwich-port/
Despite all the talk of starting slow with some improvement ROMs and maybe a CM7, I hate to say this, but we need to get either CM9 or ICS, or at least some kind of progress towards it. Every phone out there, old and new, are getting ICS or CM9 infused into them, I don't believe we can't do so with ours. We will spark much more interest in people and members here and maybe even more Devs if we bring ICS to the table. What do you guys/gals think?
I agree.
This is my first Android device and I really enjoy it a lot, thus I hope this phone can get a lively community of mods, roms, etc. At the same time, the SGSII LTE HD will be launching on AT&T soon, and I think that in order for this community to thrive we need ICS before this launch. The SGSII LTE HD is just about equal to the Nitro HD as far as specs are concerned, many who demand 720p and LTE will have the choice between the Samsung and the LG. Due to reputation, Samsung will undoubtedly outsell the Nitro.
I write this not to be **** and try to boss around people who donate their time and receive no more than some meaningless "Thanks" count. I am very appreciative that we have people like Bytecode, Kernelpanic, Cloudraker, and Malnilliom. (sorry if I left some people out, these guys just came to mind)
Lastly, does anyone know where to get guides on doing things like "ROM-cooking" and CM ports. Like I said, this is my first Android phone and I really don't know where to begin looking for this kind of information.

Yeah, I didn't even know about the Skyrocket HD until someone mentioned it here on our thread, and I immediately thought to myself, "Aww F*** we are screwed now". I think it's a **** move by AT&T to release their "flagship" phone under LG and then less than a month later announce the Skyrocket HD. Sorry to say this, had I known they were gonna release the Skyrocket HD, I would've waited for it over the Nitro. But alas, what's done is done, there's no need to cry over spilled milk, the best thing to do is to move on and prove we have the better phone than Samsung does. Anyways, I never was a fan of Samsung Phones since they started making phones. I find they always look..cheap
So with that, again like red solo cup said, thank you to all who have contributed countless amount of time n effort to support us; Let's bring it to the next level!

Heh , Dont have a nitro but i just synced CodeAurora ICS Port for MSM8660 (thanks to codeaurora for making life a bit easier for qcom products) , My first Task would be to port the kernel , Test it with CWM (before i brick my friend nitro)

I didn't say anything was great, I would not know what great means in terms of development on a phone released 7 weeks ago.

In that time span a cwm has been developed and 2+ roms with atleast one more announced on the mainpage so someone here at xda seems to think that warrants front page headlines so I am trustin their judgement as well as acknowledging the hard work devs have already accomplished.
It all sounds good to me. I'm new to all of this so I just don't know what to expect.

Im very curious what Revolution is trying to bring to the table with his Domination HD Rom. More as the story progresses
WE should not even be thinking about sense/CM9 roms on here for awhile.
Quite frankly, I don't think CM will ever get around to making a ROM for this phone.
CM9 is being ported to the Lag Nitro by Ricardo Cerqueira. Head out to his Google+ to see what he's done.

Not sure if this is a touchy subject but, does anybody know what happened to baked rom? It seems as if they just fell off the face of the earth....
Again, sorry if i shouldnt go in to this, i just cant find any info on them, and their wesite/ G+ hasnt been touched in months. To bad, was a great rom....
I don't think there is anything touchy about it. TravP just took a break. I remember the gap between Baked 8 and 9 was forever, and by that time a new Android (4.2?) was released. Then someone leaked BB9 to the forums when they shouldn't have and he decided to just scrap it. I still have a test build running on my Nexus S I think lol. I swear I saw someone post a screenshot of Trav running BB11 (might have even been trav himself on twitter) not too long ago, so maybe he will jump back in to things eventually. Baked is still the favorite ROM I've had the chance to run!
Thanks for the info, didnt know about that. That sucks it had to end that way, but i understand why he did it. It was also my fav rom. I would still run it if i could. I hope he does jump back into it. It would make me a pretty happy camper

Trust me you wouldn't be the only one! On the GNex we had one of the longest threads in the forum going. Then our device maintainer got banned for something stupid and they locked the thread. (Mind you, this is probably 10 months after the last official release lol)So most of us just left XDA. My S4 isn't even rooted because I can't run AOKP or an AOKP variant. Damn I miss those days!
Ya, alot has changed in the past year or two, but it will get better
Completely OT but I figure why make a new thread. Couple questions for you. 1. Which N7 do you have? 2. Do you know of any ROMs for Deb that have a mutiwindow feature?
