Congrats, folks - this came about partly because of you! I'd expect a CIQ-free update before too long.

epic touch already has a CIQ-free leak from samfirmware. I expect the OG Epic to get one in due time

I was never really worried about CIQ from a privacy standpoint. Sprint already needs to know who you are calling and what you are texting for its services to work. The only thing I don't like about CIQ is that it drains resources.

Kudos to Sprint for being the first carrier to give up on CIQ in light of recent events! I hope the other carriers follow suit.

It was noticed that they never get official tars. The closest for us was EB13. There still is no EC05 tar on their site. So we have to wait on Samsung to post it on opensource.samsung.com.

Not to propogate this nonsense, but my PRL updated this morning to 60675 (was 60674 previously).

They could release a small maintenance build fixing the TW lock screen date bug, browser checker boarding bug and the Gallery sensor bug.
God forbid they actually fix the keyboard lag that was present in DI18, if not since launch. (Which Impaler has already fixed on here.)
Where I work, patching production builds/environments take priority over new development.
When did all this happen? Good things or bad things?

i will say this...what jcase originally was lead to believe was gingerbread (blame p3droid for this) is in fact *not* gingerbread
for the charge it was just a full odin of ED2 and for us im not sure but it was confirmed to be just a froyo odin (probabaly ed04)
unless p3droid has something different then what we think he does (and i doubt it) he just mistook newer froyo builds for gb as im sure hes not familiar with samsung naming conventions as hes a mostly moto guy
many seem to think that verizon does in fact have a gb build, but its not in the testing system where its more easily leaked

Probably rejected more because of improper bing-ification.
Sure, Samsung has their problems, but Verizon's insistence upon using the ****tastic search engine was the major hold-up for ED01.
