OOhhh so tempted to run alpha4! I wanted to wait for Beta but the screenoff animation is seductively calling my name! How's it running so far guys??

Well I literally just dl'd A4 and flashed. So far all looks good, all 2 minutes of it:D

To the cm7 team should I opt into anonymous data reporting? I will if it helps at all.

Is it dailydriver-able? I heard A1 was a few people's daily driver, but A3 was a bit buggy. Just wondering if A4 is A3-like or A1-like regarding stability.

A3 seemed to be situationally buggy - some folks had bugs and some didn't but there were some strong correlations among who did and didn't have issues. I had no issues either on A1 or A3, but I'm now using SRF because, well, I wanted camera and GPS (you beat your heinie I'll be coming right back when those are working).

Overall, I imagine the sheer amount of input from users on A3 resulted in those issues being addressed in A4. This coding team has been better than Blizzard in their execution (and seemingly of a similar attitude on timetables - it's done when they feel it's been done right.) and I have little doubt A4 is a beast. It's just currently a blind beast with only a vague sense of direction.

Anyway, you could just make a backup and then flash A4. If it isn't working out for you, roll it back, no harm no foul.

    INTRODUCING :: CyanogenMod 7

    First the disclaimer.
    This software is in a development state. Some things will work, some will not. You will likely encounter bugs. Do NOT flash this if you expect the software to be fully functional. Your warranty is now void. We cannot and will not be held responsible for anything that happens to you, your phone, or otherwise during any of the process.

    With that said, a list of things that DO work ::

    • Radio almost works fully - Calling, SMS, and Data are working.
    • Bluetooth works for music. (A2DP)
    • Wifi works fully.
    • 3D Graphics Acceleration
    • Video codecs mostly working, some stuttering with HD content.
    • Screen on/off animation.
    • Sensors work, but may be slow. Run /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha in terminal or via adb, place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.

    What does NOT work ::
    • GPS
    • Camera
    • Multimedia Messaging
    • Bluetooth In-Call (Hands-Free Profile)
    • WiMax 4G (This is absolute LAST priority, DON'T ASK ABOUT IT)

    ALTERNATE INSTRUCTIONS / README / DOWNLOAD ::

    3. Reboot into recovery.

    5. If you did not Wipe Data, then wipe Dalvik.
    6. Wipe Cache.
    7. Flash CM7-EPIC4G-ALPHA4.zip
    8. Optional: Flash Google Apps next. (You'll need to re-flash it if you're updating.)
    9. After you have finished, reboot your phone.
    10. Finally, Enjoy CM7.

    No, I'm really not.

    Yes. You are.

    Alpha 3 was released to smooth over the people asking for a new release every day. As you have read, there's still a lot wrong with it and, in many aspects, is less functional than alpha 1.

    The team is working hard to not only get this going, but to make it conform to CyanogenMod standards, which includes moving away from proprietary libs and start using their open-source counterparts. This is why WiFi isn't working on a fresh Alpha 3. WPA supplicant is borked (pointing to the wrong place) at the moment, but we know the root of the problem. It would have been fine had we waited for our alpha 4.

    Nightlies, even every-other-nightlies, would prove to be more of a headache not only to the users, but to us as well. We're working as hard as we can to get this done. On top of that, we have a git repo that we're working harder to keep as updated as possible. You're more than welcome to build it and release it yourself. We won't stop you. Also, if we aren't moving quick enough, feel free to join in. We aren't super exclusive or anything like that. We're very open-door and if you feel that you can do better, hop on IRC and join our channel (you'll have to shoot one of us a PM for an invite). It's at irc.fossnet.info and the channel is #epiccm-dev. Just hop in #epic and see if one of us is on, shoot us (Decad3nce, Dameon, nullghost, UberPinguin, wispoffates, bikcmp, myself, and a few others) a PM, and you're in.

    That said, we have lives outside of this. Mine exploded, Dameon potentially has a new job (last I heard, he was off to his interview), and the rest have other things going on, too. We aren't going to put that aside to devote every waking moment to this project because the users want us to move quicker. I'm sorry, but that's just too much to ask. This isn't our job. We do what we can when we can.

    Lol I wouldn't say that, someone correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't this mysterious leaked gb help out a lot?

    No.

    The leak is broken in its current state, first of all. Taking stuff from that would set us backward D: Second, it's all a bunch of closed-source gobbly-wook. We grabbed what we could, and moved on. It's far from helpful.

    Moving on. Stop trolling, people. If someone asks a question, just answer it. Yes, it's annoying if it has already been asked. But you know what's even more annoying? The ten subsequent posts explaining to the person how they are an idiot for not magically knowing the answer that is buried inside of 170+ pages of posts. Not everyone in this thread has been here since the beginning, so just kindly answer the question. I guess courtesy is dead. It's also worth noting that it doesn't help us at all to have to sift through all of your whining and moaning that someone asked a question that was answered when we're trying to find something useful. Because of that, and not the questions being asked, I've found myself skipping whole pages of posts.

    tl;dr: Get off your high-horses, pseudo-forum-police, and learn some courtesy.

    If I'm not mistaken, the latest cm builds for any supported device is 2.3.4.

    For what its worth, they've gotten the gsm Galaxy S devices merged to mainline today, being the first full initial support as far as I can tell. Epic has a ways to go though.
    Click to expand...

    Captivate is actually the only one merged into mainline so far. Hopefully the rest will follow.

    We got the Nexus S .35 kernel booting last night. We need to triple check our mtd blocks, and we may have a new Alpha for you all in the next few days.
