Cyanogenmod 7

Where can I find updates? The cm7 thread was locked, and the closest I could find was a how-to for building it from souce. But it says that compiling now will brick the phone.

There aren't any updates. When there are there will be a new thread.

You probably won't see anything major until official Gingerbread drops sometime this or next month.
Having like-source makes the whole porting process easier.

Ya, that's what they said about Froyo and CM6. Fact is, is that we aren't gonna see CM7 most likely. We have good dev's, but I think they have moved to another phone.

Ok.. I just wanst sure where to look. I'm running cyanogenmod 6 and the only problem I see is 4g...which I don't get where I live. Other than that its butter smooth. And I thought the froyo source was never released?

Okay, if you say so. Not like I don't want CM7 also, but the thread got locked, there aren't any updates anymore made public and you are pipe dreaming if you think the source code is going to be that big miracle to push CM7 to our phones. It will come eventually, but I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon. Most of us will have moved on by the time it releases and makes this phone what it should have been since last year.

I disagree. Maybe you and others will move on, but there will be new users and devs after you're gone. There are still active devs for the Moment. I don't see this phone dying any time soon.

That made me smile, Dec.
And yes -- I think the Epic has a long life ahead of it. It's a great device and one of the last phones to really have everything and be free of a bootloader (aside from HTC's stuff). The dev's are doing a great job rebuilding an entire layer of software to get this phone supported -- basically like being a very clever caveman trying to build a car. Totally can't wait until we get a release! Thanks for all your hard work, devs!

As soon as work settles down (soon), I'll hop on the dev bandwagon.
No matter what, CM7 will be out.
I plan on having this phone for 2 years. No way I'm spending $400 on a new phone.

If you read any of the posts in the thread you'd realize that about 90% of them were useless 'spam' that didn't need to be there. Hence, why it was closed.
Trying to find the wrong line of code that's messing it all up like like finding a needle in a hay stack that's a mile across...especially without the source code to compare it to.

Fo sho. I haven't ben on the touch pro 2 for 9 months, and when I strolll by their forum, I don't even recognize the names of new roms and the devs and posters. This phone may have two or three waves of owners. The early adopters, then the late adopters, then the second hand era in another year or so on ours.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That's great news decadence thank you. Also this phone is awesome especially with a fully functional cm7. I still haven't really seen a phone that compares with this epic yet. I might even have this for 2 years from now. Dual cores will prolly be more buggy at first and they won't really be optimized for android or apps for atleast another year or so. So I'm good with this phone.

[PSA] EVO Shift Gingerbread Root Status.

I've seen A LOT of people ask the same question... "can I root my Shift if I took the Gingerbread update?" or "Can I downgrade to froyo and then root?"

Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.

What is root?
And why do I need it?

Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

maybe they should release the code to the devs here and let them figure whats up; then they can pay the devs for the assistance.

I think they are creating multiple builds in a day so they have to use future dates to name them. I look at it as a positive, they are making an effort to finish this one.
I've been back on EC05 rooted for a few days now. It's much more sluggish than Gingerbread, but everything works and NO REBOOTS!

Any news from SamFirmware regarding September leaks?

In the past we've been getting about 2 leaks a month from SamFirmware, one mid-month and one end of month. With the ides of September coming up I was wondering if anyone has been in contact with them? (I don't have a twitter account or I'd tweet them myself.
Hoping for EI09
Or is everyone just so burned out on leaks that it just doesn't matter any more?

Ill hit them up, but I think they said August was the last minth of leaks for the D700 because builds were updated too often. Ill lost back when I hear back from them
