Cyanogenmod tutorial - Epic 4G General

Alot of people are asking how to flash cyanogenmod and/or complaining about not havig google apps. So here we go.
If you want ext4, get cwm3, it is alot simpler that way.
1)download the rom, kernal for the file system you have and gapps and put them on the root of your sd card
2)boot into cwm
3)wipe data/factory reset 3 times, wipe cache 3 times and finaly go to advanced and wipe dalvik 3 times
4) go to install zip from sd and choose the rom, not the kernal or gapps
5)choose install another zip and choose the kernal (your screen may flash)
6)choose install another zip and choose gapps
7 )reboot (may take a while on first boot. Five minutes max.)

Yes, just what we needed, a vague tutorial with awful grammar.
EDIT Well, without bumping the thread: amazing I got jumped on for this. There's a difference between "being a ****" and commenting on obvious facts.
OP clearly wanted to make a tutorial for installing Cyanogenmod... but doesn't care enough to use the shift key, format the text, or explain the steps. Most of the confusion comes from not knowing how to execute these broad individual steps, so why not clarify them?
I was only less than nice when posting because I felt like the first is not much different than the other threads. It is not the result of hard work, but looks more like a slapped-down response by someone tired of explaining the same thing over and over.
I could have been clearer, but don't regret what I said. If this minimal effort justified a whole thread (especially if it's to be stickied) there would be 1000 halfassed tutorials covering the first few pages by now. I appreciate the intent of OP, but the result shows he doesn't really care.
It's weird, because I'm not one of the "should have searched instead of making a new topic" hater... but seeing a new thread that aims to deliver without taking the time to do it right did bother me.

how about that instead of letting everyone how much this annoys you, you write up a tutorial, instead of jumping all over the guy

WTF is wrong with the Epic forums? Come the **** on people, let's stop flaming each other over stupid ****.

Thanks OP.

Thanks for the post man it's much appreciated. I've been thinking about moving over to CM for a bit of time.

Is there any way to get 4G working yet? I checked the search box and came across a few people that said ti was in the process...

Sorry but our 4g is a bit different than the Evo, and is going to take some time to work out. Some of the best where working on the Evo to make it work and it took almost 5 months to get it semi solid and with 2.2 we can only hope for the best with 4g with Cyanogen.

Unfortunately there's no 4G yet. Someone can correct me but I believe the devs need the froyo source first.

I can understand flaming/negativeness towards OP's with less than common sense post, but "i'm more forum OG than you/more technically inclined" attitude some of these not so new members are replying with is deconstructive/emotionally immature.

Rant "on behalf of" the Devs here...

Guys. Chill out with the pushing for AOSP, CM, and others to push out a GB ROM. It is completely inappropriate, and disrespectful to what everyone here has done for the community. I'm beyond sick of seeing frantic posts left and right about how "ZOMG I AM DYING FOR GB!!!!1111oneoneone" et al.
Enough is enough, please. and no, nobody asked me to post this... I'm simply fed up with that nonsense polluting threads left and right when the devs are people just like you and me. It's an insult to their talent, time, and efforts.

I second eliseexige. We all want Gingerbread and, yes, most of our devs work wonders when it comes to building ROMs but we must have petience. Devs aren't magicians, they are normal human beings, most of which have jobs.

I agree with the OP to some degree. Also, for all those who use the ROMs, I think that donations should be a no-brainer. However, I don't think its wrong to ask for news, we are all excited about the ROMS and are constantly checking the forums for them. I just don't see the harm in asking (demanding is one thing).

There's no harm, but it's relatively pointless to ask, since rarely are there ETAs for them. Plus, it makes reading through threads to be a bit of a chore when it gets constantly bumped with people asking "When is this coming out?!?!" (also it must be really annoying for the devs).

It may be in the wrong section - but it does get noticed more here. It caught my attention!

lmao wow by far one of the best ideas I have seen here in the forums.
not that i don't entirely agree with some of the sentiments of the more senior members, but i was a complete noob w/ my 1st smartphone not too long ago so I can see how someone coming into this now after all of the DL09/EB01/EB16 releases can be overwhelmed...

... a LOT friendlier with a handful of senior members that seem to be on always to walk noobs through
you won't get as many comments that, although may be true and one should take note of, doesn't contribute at all to what you asked.
Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions on a forum, so I'm not making any attacks toward anyone, but I feel like you know when your comment doesn't help the OP and only helps you feel better about walking into a post that annoys you... and maybe consider that there are people of all different ages and lives that may not allow for hours upon hours of catch up reading

While I agree that if such a form existed... at the end of the day it most really be useless.
People will still have the same questions about this and that rom, and term, and version of phone.. etc... and if you combine ALL those answers into one form, well I would maybe make it too the third or fourth page before I give up and move on. Like a lot of forums now, some are a thousand pages.
I'm sure many people will agree the next scenario, which I find myself in a fair bit. You just soft soft bricked your phone, or something new is released... 20 min later you're sitting down with 5 or 6 browser windows open, each one has 20 tabs, and you have 30 new bookmarks made just case there something you might need later from one those pages.
lol... i tell you guys, its awful messy sometimes.. Especially when a friend gives me a phone he bricked and I've never used the phone before.

He has been bumping dead threads for the past couple days and judging by his name "1997" that is prob the year he was born.....need i say more.
Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to unlock OEM for the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G model G988U1 (z3q) and flash a custom ROM to it. I'm aware that certain models don't allow this and I'm hesitant to test it out from the posts that I've seen describing how to do it. I saw the same thing for my model of the Note 9 and soon after found out that it's not possible for my model of it. If anyone can confirm whether or not I can and provide a link to a thread that includes the sources to what I need or links directly to the things I need it'd be much appreciated.

How to update STOCK 2.1 Evo to 2.3.3 WITHOUT Root?

Hello people! My friend has an Evo that is still on 2.1 and she wants to update to 2.3.3. The OTA isn't working (saying that there isn't an update) and when we called sprint tech support, they said that they would have to create a trouble ticket and go to the store. We called the closest store to her, and they are back up until tomorrow. I told her I could flash it manually (without rooting it)....but i should have kept my mouth shut, because I cannot find a normal 2.3.3. RUU, and am not sure if I should first up her to 2.2. then to 2.3 anyway (oops).
So now I'm on the hook, lol!
So, where can I find STOCK, NON ROOTED RUU's (I've checked the wiki)
And should I upgrade her to 2.2, then to 2.3?
Root is an option, I just didn't feel like doing it (I see Unrevoked would work for 2.1 still)
Thanks for any help guys!

HipKat, teh roxxorz, Lithid, dased14 (who mostly hangs out in Themes and Apps), and several others provide great help. They've answered plenty of my questions before.
Lithid did SalvageMod and Freedom kernel, dased14 makes dozens of flashable zips with themes and mods, HipKat and teh roxxorz have made guides for subjects of all sorts. Everyone has their own personalities though so its something to get used to.
Believe me when I say the Evo 4G forum is one of the better ones. I frequent basically every Sprint / Verizon phone forum and I cannot stand all of the whining and fights. We have a strong developing team and plenty of people qualified to answer questions.
I'm just here to fill in the cracks, my knowledge is limited. The forum is a bit confusing at times, but you'll get used to it. I'm here to keep the peace and help out as much as I can.
Okay. I got off-topic, I don't see relevance in this post anymore. Glad your problem is solved

Look, I'm done. I solved my own problem (that I spelled out quite clearly I might add), and one guy actually read and understood and helped out too, for which I am grateful. Take care.

just have a look on the thread that is already there ...
I think that is the same exact topic for the post 3 or 4 below yours. All these ICS posts are getting ridiculous. I seriously wish google would have made it harder to root android phones.

Agree.
Hard root = less noobs

That, or I wish one-click roots would stop existing. It robs people of valuable experience and knowledge of the platform when they can mindlessly double-click and be rooted.
I've read somewhere that Paul O'Brien has already root the Nexus Prime, so he was able to extract a dump (with Drew Garen use in his beta).
Sorry for my english
i don't get the griping about threads that are made here. this is the slowest forum of any phone i've used anyway. . .

I somewhat agree with this. Getting tired of the development threads clogging up with "How do I reboot my phone?" and "Do I need to wipe my ass before flashing this rom?" questions.
People just refuse to read or research on their own anymore.

I agree with this. We get the same thing in the Shift forum. A lot of people with rooted phones that have no idea how it got there or what to do with it.

This is the main problem. Having easy root methods is all fine and good if you actually research what you are doing. There's a tool on this forum called "search"... 90% of people's questions can be answered by using this tool.
Sorry for the off topic post.. ICS, blah blah blah

Yeah and I think this whole idea of telling everyone to get together and make a single ROM is completely retarded, in all honesty.
Part of what makes this phone great is its diverse selection of ROMs. All these posts about needing a single ROM show A) complete lack of patience, and B)likely little understanding of how the phone, kernel, root, filesystem, etc works at all.
I think bashing someone for asking a question or making a suggestion you disagree with is pathetic. You all act like you wiped the embryonic fluid out your mouth and started spouting code. I'd much rather be a noob than a snob. Do you not realize the more newcomers the better? Newcomers become old comers like the great devs we have today... so don't be a part of the problem by stiffening innovation and contribution. Be a part of the solution: be patient with pwople, encourage ideas, make helpful suggestions (like I believe they are having this discussion on the thread below this one)

Wait, you have to wipe your ass before flashing a ROM? ... **** ...
the OTA will be the first fully functional and stable ics. i don't think google have better dev.
i'm sure there is real genius on xda. but google work in team...
so the ics collab is not a bad idea.
and why not one-click-root? every one wants a fancy and better phone! what's wrong with that?
but you are right. no need to ask on forum how to. "root (phone)" on google and you find two hundred answers...
I agree with you too

jeez im sorry for posting this on here, i didn't even know there were a thread like that already, but **** yall need to calm the f down
Well, with all due respect, suggesting or telling devs to work together is almost insulting.
Devs dont take lightly to people telling them what they should and shouldn't do. I'm not saying you're being demanding by any means, but regardless, theyll see the post, and more than likely think "Who the hell does this guy think he is, talking about how I need to work with someone else, so ICS is more complete"
Have patience.....they're working hard....on their day jobs first.

Slow Down There Buddy, I Achieved Root With A 1-Click Out Of Fear That I Would Screw Something Up... We Are Not All Idiots.

Devs & Chefs: an idea to help you communicate with your fanbase

The structure of this ROM Work-In-Progress Topic is incredible! If Epic devs and chefs were as careful about formatting their OPs and providing information as the OP of the linked Topic below, I would imagine it would cut down on the unnecessary posts, wasted time, headaches, etc. associated with supporting the userbase and fans of said devs' respective products. But then again, I'm probably giving the LooneyRats of XDA way too much credit!
Team Hacksung's ICS port for Galaxy S
P.S. Some of you might be interested in reading it more for the content than how pretty it is, hahaha! Very encouraging to hear that ICS for the SGS line is being worked on, even if it doesn't directly affect or help us much.
P.P.S. If any of you would like help or suggestions for clarifying your Topics I'd be glad to help. I'm kind of a communications nerd, so I geek out over making things as concise and informative as possible. (I'm probably a bit overbearing as a Squad Leader in BF3 as a result, TBH!)
I already try to do that - go look at the SRF1.1.0 thread, and noCIQ to follow - but believe me, people still repeat dumb questions, don't read, don't search...
I definitely agree that things need to be formatted better, cleaned up, and the like - but I don't think it will change the state of noobery. </cynicism>

How about you start by publishing accurate changelogs and up-to-date links. Then we can talk about formatting.

Well said, sir! I agree, noobery/Loonery will persist, but I feel very confident that clear, concise, informative OPs/Topics will cut down the BS at least a little bit, and also help spread knowledge even among the experienced people here, developer or not. (For instance, I dabble in Java, but I am not a developer. However, I enjoy reading all the technical stuff you and the other experienced devs post, whether it's in an OP or 300 pages deep.)

We can go about this one of two ways as I see it:
Basically k0nane's politely suggested method : you supply me with all the information you can think of (such as changelogs, which I, along with k0nane and a few other people, consider very important), then I'll format it and send it to you.
I create a shell or outline, then you fill it in with the appropriate information.
The more I think about it, I think Option (2) would be best, and in fact I'll post the shell where any devs can copy/paste it, fill in what they need, cut what they don't, and tailor to their needs. However, it's late here and I tend to nit-pick my posts, which means this could easily be an hour-long-or-more project, so I'll do it some time this weekend. Fair enough?

The links are uptodate, but the changelogs are nonexistent.

Fair enough, sometimes bluntness is called for! Especially around here, with some of these people it's like arguing or explaining something to a brick.

Cut down on the screenshots lol. You have to scroll down the OP everytime to get to the links.

Damn good point! Maybe put links at the top?
I'm gonna PM the OP of the topic I linked to and see if I may shamelessly yoink his layout to create my recommended outline. Y'all cross your fingers, that will get this ball rolling.
I wish there were more screenshots of the parts that I use. All we need to see is notification bar, mms, keyboard, dialer. Everything else we normally customize the look of ourselves.

Personally, I think its best to have what's working and not above the download, so then people can't say they didn't see it before downloading.
