2.3

So gingerbread is running on n900, hd2, iPhone3g and EVERY other android phone, EXCEPT the epic.
Why do these non-android phones have the latest build before we do?
What's so different in the epic that gingerbread won't work?

Most of the important stuff is done retardedly by Samsung, and they don't release source code for their retarded implementation. They make it pretty hard.

Well, at least this thread isn't about Froyo...

I haven't seen anything about why is 2.3 hard to port...only threads about froyo
I was only curious. I wanna know if its because no one is working on it because they're working on cm6 or is there really something blocking it.
I don't mean to belittle the devs working on cm6, their hands are tied and this wasn't meant for them and I'm only waiting on mms to just flash it and never look back
I'm just a curious little monkey!

I wondered about that myself.Iphone 3g grts 2.3 and we dont-sht dont sound right.Devices that not meant to run Android are running it.Samsung already made thwir money of Epic why these mf's wont give us the source so we can make 2.3 ourself?

Its garbage. Its a proof of concept. We had gingerbread booting on the epic like a day after its release, but not in a functional state. Why completely rebuild an OS when you can take what we have and make it as functional as possible. It would be a waste of dev talents to hand build a Frankenstein gingerbread when there is so much else to work on.

Yes AA is soo smooth ... but unfortunately for me i was having major battery problems so i went back to Frozen 1.1.0

I agree, this roms is the most stable...however the profile used registers the phone as a nexus in the market and any apps your brought previously, their licenses become invalid...

I had no problem with that... But I only have one paid app

You can find lists like these in the wiki for samsung epic. I was trying to keep it updated, however, due to my illness my hands are less useful so it is too much for me to do anymore.

Thanks for the response. I tried reflashing, redownloading and reflashing. But my epic just isn't playing nice with this great Rom. It appears to work about every other day, then errors come up again even with Journaling on. I will say I haven't tried the latest version. Since the last 2 versions been giving me Hell.

What kernel you using? I suggest either gen or vision. Also don't forget to wipe. Sound like I am talking to a 3 year old with that statement "don't forget to wipe". Nothing towards you just me saying it reminded me of my son at 3. LOL

Is it bad if I am using CM7 beta as my daily driver? I have an obsession.

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
