Obviously I have an Epic 4G. I have had an Epic since Day 2. The only change I have done to my phone recently is that I have installed Cyanogen Mod 7 (alpha) for the first time. I've installed many other roms before.
I just wanted to check if other epic users (with or without Cyanogen) were receiving this email. Did installing CM7 make me get this email?
I personally have not tried running cm7 yet. but they do use some type of nexus S authentication for the marketplace. On other devices people have reported receiving such email when using cm7.

I also received this email this morning. I have not installed CM7. I DID install Das BAMF 2.0 last night. Could it be due to something in Gingerbread?
16 of these in the past 15 hours. very annoying.

Im on CM7 and it installed fine for me through the market on my Mac. I just selected my Evo in the dropdown and picked PC36100.
Working flawlessly on CM7.
Either go to https://market.android.com/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient and install from there
Or...search for "com.netflix.mediaclient" in the Market.
someone mind pulling and posting their APK? Long shot, but if it works on the Galaxy S it may work on the Epic.
I am using it in cm7. Works great. Happiest day ever. Lol

Guess that's a subtle taunt eh? Well, to very roughly paraphrase Winston Churchill:

Is being part of cm worth the not working backcam and other pitfalls?
The vibrant cm has almostthe same limitations as the epic cm. What's stopping us from being on the cm tree, again?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I don't use the front camera and 4G has never really worked for me on this phone. Gingerbread is incredibly buggy still... I'm going back to EC05
I have been running Gingerbread on my Epic since the first leak and never looked back. Been enjoying Netflix and working native email app tremendously. EG22 is great. I can't wait for the next leak...should be awesome.

I think I finally understand. Sammy had to put a lot of custom code to get things to work, and the devs need all this custom code to rewrite them to putthem into AOSP compliance instead of just writing from the ground up
Is that why?

Yep. That my understanding too.
I think I have a CM addiction. It was on my hero, the my evo, and now that I can actually have some flavor of CM I have to use it. It surely is stable to be honest, much more stable than eg22 leak base roms. Who needs a camera and gps anyway! Not this guy! Do not judge me!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, it is bad. Next question?
But seriously, If you can live without a camera, LEDs, GPS, WiMax, and Video Playback (according to their own thread), go for it.
I actually use all those things.
Lol it's never bad if you're used to legitimately using betas and going without features.

The main things I'm waiting for are GPS and WiMAX. I'll be waiting a while for the later.
I do a decent amount of traveling for my job, and rarely to the same place twice, so GPS is pretty handy.
WiMAX sure beats 3G for tethering. Airport wifi is quite annoying. Plus my favourite coffee shop has a funky router that the following devices of mine have NOT worked on:
Toshiba Satellite w/ Windows 7
Apple Macbook Pro with 10.6.8
Google CR-48
Epic 4G
T-Mob G1
I've complained to no avail. I can go without 4G for a while, but I don't think CM will be a full replacement for me until it has WiMAX support.
All of that said I'm thankful for the development we have had. When I install Cyanogen on my Epic I'm reminded of how fantastic CM6 was on my G1. The things that work work perfectly, the phone zips around, the battery holds up, the Epic port has had some very solid development and we should all remember to be thankful for what we have rather than hold unreal expectations.
Ditto. Its hard to leave 4G because I have had it since launch day of this phone. Its what 5x faster? Overclocking Cyanogen with Tegrak makes it fast as can be but when downloading anything or connecting to XDA app,etc you can really feel the difference in data speed

if your waiting for 4g to hop on the cm7 train, then you will be waiting quite a while, don't expect it anytime soon. but gps should be here soon, decad3nce said he found the fix.

This means Stratosphere will come out soon. That will help us on MIUI and CM7 etc, because it's kernel source will help us.
Also, same specs as epic.
Same CPU and gpu combo? If that even matter

I think that's just a software limitation and it could be fixed by modifying the kernel settings.
For example, when I had my HD2 with stock Windows Mobile 6.5, the maximum recording resolution I managed to get was ~ 640x480 .
with hacked Android 2.3 installed (Ported from the Desire) it jumped to 800x600!.
with hacked Windows Phone 7 (Ported from the HD7) it jumped to 1280×720!!!.

i have been using an app called super mono since at least 2.1 on all my devices. this app redirects all phone sounds to any bluetooth headset. i know a lot of things are changing in ICS and i was wondering if this app is gonna work on 4.0. it has worked on every CM and Sense rom i have used except for the miui 4.0 hybrid. as i understand it, it is a tweak not officially supported by google but all in all, its BY FAR my favorite app. if 4.0 wont support it ill have to wait til the developer updates or stay on 2.3.7
