Are there ANY plans for CM7 on the epic, I would be in love then! This is the only aspect of the evo which quite frankly I'm going to miss a lot!

From what is being said it will be fully functional once Gingerbread source is released.

Thanks for searching...
I don't know why people have so much trouble following such a simple rule..
CM7 development is at a standstill until gingerbread kernel source code is released.

Just a question that's been bothering me, if you don"t mind me asking, is source code always released with official release of rom?

Under GPL Law source code must be released within 30 days of official Rom release.

Big differenced I had the evo for almost a year, the samsung nexus s for a month and the epic and cm7 blows anything out of the water, they are some bugs hre and there but really cm7 has a lot work done that you won't believe from cuztomizing lock screen to take prmission from apps and such, from modifying power control widgets on the drop bar menu to themes, I think google should have done that first, cyanogen has done a lot of work and best of all is free, I donated a few times already they deserve the recognition

Ha ha yeah sort of, well they all got their ups and downs I mean the epic I think take better pictures then the EVO or the nexus s , the screen on the epic and the nexus s are amazing compare to the EVO , bit yet the EVO got the best development and support (netflix and such) and the nexus too, I wish the EVO would have been a 4" screen and super amoledl and the epic camera and the huminbird processor lol , well practicly and epic with HTC sense and development ha ha
I'll say stick with the EVO till EVO 3d could get fully rooted

Actually, GPL states that you must release the source code with the release of the program.

If only I knew. I was just clarifying that it's not 30 days. It's SUPPOSED to be immediate. Just because they're not happy with it is no excuse to hold back the code.
DCRocks said:

Google wrote a lot of the code for HC, and has been able to get around releasing the code because it's still a work in progress (it came out around March and is already on 3.1).
Also the main reason (or at least the reason they've given) for not releasing complete source code (kernel source is available) is to avoid cheap knock off tablets that run underwhelming hardware flooding the market and destroying the Honeycomb reputation before it even has one.

I'm really starting to get tired of this. If Samsung is going to continue prolonging the wait for official GB they should at least throw us a bone and give us kernel source.

I agree and as long as SamFirmware keeps up the great job then we can enjoy practice roms till we get official GB.... personally I don't wanna run cm7 because I like to support local projects but that's just me.....

Yeah, I think so too. The kernel will allow all those things to be fixed, but some things will take longer to develop than others. Like even though the kernel doesn't automatically fix EH17 bugs or turn into EXT4, I'm positive you'll see kernels that fix EH17 bugs as well as EXT4 converted.
My question? Does this mean wimax in cm7 or is that still samsungs private code?

GPS is amazing on CM7. And this is the "official" source for the Epic from Samsung.

Then don't.
If someone could please clarify the following questions:
1) What exactly does the Epic 4g need that it does not have to run the latest cyanogenmod with full functionality?
2) I assume this source code release does not directly help in implementing cm7. Is that correct?
3) What are the prospects of the Epic 4g being a fully supported cm7 phone sometime in 2012?
Thanks

Okey doke, I've got you.
1) Well for the longest while we've needed an AOSP kernel based on our kernel which we didn't have source to. A GB kernel with source which of course we had gotten due to Mkasick, Rodderik, Jt countless others. As well as a close to official build of CM7(7.1) which is also greatly made possible due to Decad3nce and Jt, and countless others. We're closer because they were coding in the dark kernel wise before now. And Samsung released their official build as well. (Damn you Samsung)
2) It does help, because they now have a basis to work off of to try to get an AOSP kernel which may take time, but we've some of the most talented Rom developers and kernel developers working together to do this.
3) It could happen befoe 2012, there isn't an eta we can give for something such as this when the catalyst we've needed for months has finally been given to us.
I hope I was of some help. If any more questions ask me I'll gladly answer.
Sent from my Epic 4G
Wait, wait, wait, we never covered the essential question:
Can the source enable my phone to make coffee?
It does: have a cute name called source
It does: have the ability to be downloaded, its available right now.
It does: happen to be something everyone's always asked for.
It does not: help you walk your dog.
It does not: improve your Call of Duty skills
It does not: like the fact that I'm making jokes about it.
K'done .

I see I don't understand the basics of what's going on here.
We've had Froyo source for months, but that was not AOSP?
Or have Samsung/Sprint released something with Gingerbread that they did not release with the Froyo source?
Am I understanding correctly that there are now no remaining structural obstacles and implementing CM is just a matter of development time?
Another question: What is the advantage of cyanogenmod over the stock and custom roms already available for the Epic 4g, meaning what will be better once CM7 is running?

Okay, Ill try to help.
Froyo was AOSP
No, Froyo source came out late with GB was "right around the corner". So development stopped waiting for GB source.

if you have the ns4g you need to download the port of his rom in the nexus s 4g forum. The non port is ns3g only. And at the same time I urge you to try aosp's ics rom, it is more complete mms works, GPS, etc just don't expect to find 4g working on any ics rom at the moment.
