COOL !!!! Hope this works out well for us EPIC owners !
Well hate to be the one that breaks the happiness. This may be a double edge sword...
If he's working with Sammy remember that they are corporate and he is a member of their corporation now, and he must follow by their rules and regulations. This could mean the end of Cyanogen era as well.
Remember these corporations don't care 100% of what we do with their phones because they consider it "out of bounds". Hint: Remember what MS did with the dev group that was hacking their phones?????

Nope, never gonna happen.
Steve hasn't had any input w/ CM on any samsung device so far, and he especially won't now.
SO it finally seem's the big boys are finally getting recognized sloooowly?
From my understanding...without the GB source code...Tony Stark couldn't put this together in that cave regardless right?...this is assuming the official (no disrespect to our developers we luuv y'all!) CM developers all had source code for the officialy supported devices? Correct me if I'm wrong

As someone who has never used Cyanogenmod, I just don't get the hype surrounding this project. I have a general understanding on why development is where it is for the Epic currently, but I definitely don't get the butt-hurt posts/threads on this topic. (Not inferring that this thread is one of those types of threads. )
Aside from the AOSP look/feel of it, what's the real hype over the project?

What I'm confused about...is he the ONLY person that maintains the CM mainline? If there's a team of people, what's to stop them from making sure this ROM base is updated (i.e. reflects changes made with ICS when CM8 is made, etc.)? I mean, it's open source and non-profit...
I can't imagine the most popular Android ROM all-time could just die, but I ALSO don't foresee this one guy maintaining it at a level appropriate for ~570,000 phones that have it installed since he's now gonna be occupied with greater things for himself.
It sure would be a shame if Samsung sort of grabbed exclusivity over CM...Samsung gets CM, Moto gets AOSP, which to choose!?

Since Cyanogenmod 7.2 is nearing its completion. I recommend we put up a bounty to get 4g working. This will probably be an unofficial build of the official build if that makes sense. Since 4g will not be supported. I am will to start off with $25.00. I would pledge more but I am hurting financially. I believe putting up a bounty is fair because not everybody can enjoy 4g coverage.

As Decad3nce said earlier, this isn't the way to go about it. In the past our team of developers had said that WiMax is the furthest thing on their priority list for a reason, being that it is going to be hellish to do, just like MTD was hellish to do but MTD benefited us in a longer term than many understand now.
That being said you can't just buy your developers so they've an entitlement to get something done, if they decide to work on it they do, if not oh well. Perhaps you yourself can look into the issue and attempt it. And see exactly what it is which is making the topic of 4G such a disliked one. I don't mean to be rude but if it was really easy, or simple because another device has it, it would have been done already, it's been looked at forever, doesn't mean it'll happen. The EVO 4G's instance of it and ours are in no way the same story.

I wonder if the reversed engineered Linux driver for the Samsung CMC-730 chip called Madwimax will work for the Epic since it uses the CMC-730 Wimax chip?

Because they actually worked on it... in no way was that a hit to the devs of epic cm7!!!! Trust me I know how tough it is to get it working. One of my friends worked on the evo cm7 and he said it was one of the most difficult things he has ever worked on... they spent a lot of time trying to get 4g working... its not an easy task and with wimax being a dying bread probably not worth their effort! I would love to see cm7 with 4g but it probably won't happen because it is more effort than it is worth!

Cool thanks. I hope this info gets to the right people. Since the Samsung Wimax driver source has already has been reversed engineered by Madwimax already, that hopefully will save time for the CM dev crew to figure it out. I am no developer so I know absolutely zero if it'll work or not. I just happened to stumble on this video a couple months back when I did a search for wimax and tablet on youtube while I was researching a tablet purchase for Black Friday. Oh the random things you find while just surfing.
Okay no sweat. Cyanogenmod 9 is more important. I love the great work they did on cyanogenmod 7 this ROM is fantastic.

This seems pretty obvious so I am sure you guys have thought about it ... but doesn't the Nexus S 4G have Wimax working in CM7? Doesn't it and our phones have virtually identical hardware? Is there a reason that you guys couldn't do whatever those guys did?
