Cyanogenmod Changelog and ICS Github branch - Epic 4G General

Until recently while reading the cyanogenmod thread, I had never figured out how to use github to find nightlies changelog, to weigh the pros and cons of flashing. I have been checking these sites pretty often and here are the changelogs:
Gingerbread
Simplified version http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=epicmtd
changelog working again
Github Version http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#q,epicmtd,n,z
ICS Github
Disclaimer: Please note that I am not a developer of epic mtd cyanogenmod, nor a developer in general. I may may mistakes because I am not as informed as the rest of you. I only know what is posted in this which as aprosammuarai states is not merged. It is used simply as a place holder and as such will not be as representative to their cm9 progress as it could be. Even so this github could be interesting to follow.
http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#q,statuspen+project:CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_epicmtd+branch:ics,n,z
Update:​
There was some activity in the ICS merged cyanogenmod github for the epic, so here is the link...

HEY I SAID KERNEL not kernle or kernal(haha)
Cmstats
Just found cmstats(lol im a noob) for anyone who wants to konw about installs and such
http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/
We are under epic, epicmtd, and sph-d700 so use your browser find tool if interested
(P.S. the smiley face is in there to status : open in the link which forms the smily

This is pretty big progress: http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#change,11663
I know its preliminary, but still exciting.
Hopefully Jt1134's comment helps them.

Two more things:
Preliminary kernel change too: http://review.cyanogenmod.com./#change,11662
And to the OP: please update your post to include links to kernel changes too. those are called something with victory. I think its android_kernel_samsung_victory.

1. ICS was forked automatically for us (as I understand).
2. All of the current changes are for Galaxy S devices in general (updating the graphics drivers, etc).
3. We'd still have a fair bit of work to do to rectify our own set-up to ICS, since we deviate from the other Galaxy S devices by a lot (we're the misfit at the current moment).

I agree with the poster above that those are a general ics kernel change, I was posting specifically about the ICS epic mtd branch and if you can show me where that applies to us helping on ics ill update my post, for now Ill add it, though

Epic=Victory
Victory kernel changes are epic cm kernel changes. So all those changes are epic specific or not used by all Galaxy S devices because they use a different touchscreen driver for AOSP. And also, jt1134's comments could help them a lot because he posted a possible way to fix touchscreen (using the Charge's kernel because we use the same AOSP touchscreen driver). Their commits aren't that interesting per-se, but jt1134's comments are because he contributed greatly to the other galaxy s devices and ours (helped deca on cm7), and got many galaxy s devices ics. So if he can help epic on cm7 and other devices on cm9, he can help epic on cm9.
Also, jnadke, are you still working on ICS?

You're ok. Don't worry. No need to apologize. And you're right. Not particularly interesting commits, but the comments should help because we use the same touchscreen driver and gpu drivers as the charge (which is what jt1134 linked to) so that means touchscreen should be working soon most likely which is a big deal considering how ics uses different touchscreen drivers than gb so its harder but now that charge has it, the devs should be able to use that.

Same, Ill probably wait until the next pure google devices, after the sammy updates I dont have the same want for the galaxy s III . Cant wait for cm9

I'm waiting for the next great qwerty. Until then, this Hummingbird powered, CM9(eventually) filled, Victory will be my baby.

I personally find no need for more than one or two cores in a mobile phone. I will get the newest Google flagship when my contract is over. I wont deal with bloatware and locked bootloader BS anymore no matter the specs. After playing with AOSP roms it makes you notice that some phones start that way and gets updates almost instantly.

CM 6.1 probably no vibrant :(

Sorry to say but, at this point (unless someone pulls a miracle), it looks like the vibrant wont make the CM 6.1 release
(basing my info on 2 tweets)
wesgarner
@TheDudesAndroid @noobnl_epic @cyanogen @koush what do you think? http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2152
@noobnl_epic
@wesgarner @TheDudesAndroid @cyanogen @koush should be removed
the link in wes's tweet says
Change I36172fd3: vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
Reasons:
1. It doesn't compile - this can be fixed, though
2. It doesn't work... - currently the kernel inside the repo doesn't work plus the build system is not set up to flash the kernel
3. The Vibrant repo is about 2mths old
4. The Vibrant repo contains proprietary. On my fork, I have changed everything over to use extract-files, removed proprietary from all commits using filter-branch
We can refork my repo for the Vibrant, but at the same time - it still isn't ready, so mostly having it on the CM repos for 6.1 RC's this weekend is pretty pointless considering where we are in getting CM6 for the Vibrant
My manifest (git://github.com/wesgarner/android.git) is setup for the current Galaxy S repos (aka my Vibrant repo and noobnl's Epic repo), but this is still such a WIP that keeping it on CM repos really just confuses people about the current status and makes it seem like it's ready when it isn't
Change-Id: I36172fd3e2709d9ff9f23d0cc5c05a8f12d607dc
Of course, i may be completely wrong. We can always hope

i'm fine with that. bionix is honestly better than cm was on my g1, and those cm guys are a bunch of assholes. if (mostly) one guy can build a rom from scratch, i don't understand how a whole team can't figure it out.
You cant expect one guy to make a rom for all android devices. If it doesnt work. O well. I mean there are other roms out there for those wanting to mess with there phones. Bionix is one. And many more to come to the vibrants way. You ppl keep asking these devs who have other lives outside xda. And then get pissed when theres no special rom for ur phone. C'mon now.

the donations were made to wes/scepterr... that has nothing to do with CM. true they are members of the CM team, but all they ever said was that they had plans to port CM6... that doesn't mean they have to, and anyone who decided to donate should have realized that a PLAN does not equal a promise.
if it fails, well crap. if they come back to it later and it works, hooray! until then, your donations belong to whoever you donated to. because that's how donations work.

Wow.... Are you serious? d
First you're comparing your Vibrant to a G1, of course it will be better! Even with a stock Vibrant.
Second, the CM guys or any dev for this matter, who gives their free time to make ROMs and MODs for peasants like you and I who cant do it ourselves, are assholes?! How?!
Third, yes it only takes one talented dev to build a ROM from scratch, but without the SOURCE they have no base to work on. It really isnt easy to make a ROM from scratch, and as far as I know only a few devs have successfully done so. Most of them base it on another dev's work or samsung itself...

Haha.... You think that the bionix ROM came from scratch??? He took eugenes base from the Ftwiz ROM. He even says it in the credits. Not trying to sell the ROM or development short, because it is a great ROM.
All the devs that are tied to the vibrant are trying to reverse engineer the code to get the 2.2 source which samsung has not released. Building 2.2 with out the source code is like building a sky scrapper from the top to the bottom, everything will crash. Where as 2.1 with source is building from ground up, you start from a solid foundation, then work your way up...
Wes also stated to anyone who wanted there money back, they can email him for a refund.
Just give it time. The source for the i9000 froyo was just released; it will come eventually, but development is going to lag behind that for the Nexus One, Dinc, etc. Just be glad we're getting some kind of CM; think of all the other phones that aren't even on the list.

Very true!
after reading their various tweets regarding them passing the buck on vibrant development, yes, they're assholes. it was clearly a joke to them because they know it's a huge hassle, so they should have just said it was probably never going to happen. i'm very grateful for the handful of devs that have actually stepped up and made this phone into what it should have been out of the box. it was clear that the cm team never cared in the first place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all manufacturers are bound by the GPL license of the Linux-derived kernel to publish the source code every time they release a new kernel to the public (i.e., their users). In practice, this means they will publish a new kernel source code with each new phone and each new version of Android (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.). Also, if there are any critical updates that they have to apply to the kernel, they will publish that too, but such situations aren't that common. Most of the big manufacturers will publish their source code within a week of releasing their latest Android upgrade or phone.

Correct me if I'm wrong as well, but, at 125MB, this seems like more than kernel source code. The kernel patches are GPL'd, but the rest of Android is released by Google under the Apache License, meaning (as we've seen) manufacturers don't have to release any source code of customizations like blur, or sense. (see wikipedia for android, under licensing -- I had a link here, but I'm not allowed to post it until I reach 8 posts)
And if this is a 125mb kernel source download, just ignore this post...
Edit: After taking a look inside, there's both kernel source and some platform source code (I'm seeing things like webkit, bluetooth, email...), so at least some of this looks to be optionally-released stuff.

Not sure if I know what I am doing, but when the poop hits the propeller, I have never had to build source that wasn't already at least somewhat modified for my device.
I got all the proprietary stuff, the countless extra common additions, and now it seems I have to go find all the hardware build parts missing because all we got was a nexus layout and dashed hopes of much more.
It may or may not be realistic to just merge in the missing parts, but at least it is a good start. Everything is configured to work, it just wants some stuff I am still downloading.

I will post every detail I can, but I will admit a lot of it is currently mixed in with DHD and Dinc, as we have been working as one team instead of separate devices. I will make a point to link up what has been going on soon. That was overlooked on my part.
The builds in the first post are functional, but the version being built from source should not and will not be a [email protected]$$ rip -off of another device. That is costing time...

While I do not always agree with the Mods on this forum, I have been in contact with the one keeping a watch over this forum and he has a good understanding of what is and isnt relevant. He responded to make a valid point because a lot of the posts that have been removed are the direct result of not reading the first post. There have been MANY posts throughout the entire site pushing for releases only days after the initial release of a partial source. I think it is best you keep in mind, that nothing he said is directly rude unless you choose to read it that way.

From our work. *slaps samsung*
sent from my always aosp epic
Just as maddogin finished the lock mod for ei22 this pops up
Hopefully it will be easier since he did the ei22 one
I thought EI22 would be the last...and would have argued that at length.....until now lol.
Oh well, I'll be interested to see if anything official actually comes from it and what they will supposedly be fixing. Once you load up all the patches and a custom kernel there is not much in the way of updates needed, but for stock folks I feel sorry for the awful keyboard skips and weak GPS.
Maybe it comes with google talk with video capabilities.
I would say gps fix. With the devs here I have a great working gps and a sweet workin keyboard. I actually use it every single time now that it doesn't skipp

I'm sure this is just a maintenance update.

Could be an early ics build in disguise. They've done that before.

Im all for official ics but... the epic wasnt exactly a success, what would motivate them to give us eclair then froyo then gingerbread then ics?

Not on the Epic they haven't and not going to. It would take them a year to get ICS working on this. 2.3.X is Gingerbread...period.

There were some gb builds marked as froyo. Just wishful thinking on my part.

The reboot issue is the only major issue I've seen with EI22. The GPS issue is easily resolvable. I hope they fix it because I sure as hell have failed in my attempts.

I agree. I'm wondering if the reboot issue is something deep enough in GB that the fix requires the version changes to 2.3.6?

The reboot issue is caused by a bug in the kernel. A bug in the kernel and hardware flaws are the only two thing that can cause spontaneous reboots.

+1 to that.
I requested Gtalk for our Epics be available from both the Android Market Team, and the Gtalk team itself, I would be LMMFAO right now if this is how it went down.
Android Market Team: Gtalk team, a user has cordially requested you "ok the Gtalk.apk to be seen and downloaded by SPH-D700 users on the Android Market.
Gtalk Team: Sure thing! Oh wait, we're testing Gtalk.apk, and while he assured you guys (and us) that it would natively work, there's a few bugs.. we'll be sure to contact the Samsung Devs responsible for the SPH-D700 and tell them we have the updated files for this to work, thanks for the heads up Android Market Team!
Gtalk Team: Hey Samsung Devs, a user on Gingerbread brought up a good point, with native front-facing camera support, Gingerbread isn't quite "finished" unless our Google Video chat is working, don't fret, we have the files necessary, it should be a quick fix, here you go!
Samsung Devs: *facepalm* we just released EI22 and it took a MONTH for Sprint to trust us and OTA it, but thanks.. looks like it's back to the drawing board.
Samsung Devs: Hey Sprint, we have another incremental update, should fix a few bugs, not as big fix as EI22 but still necessary, sorry we didn't include it.
Sprint: You sons of.... fine, we're cool. But you BETTER have Ice Cream Sandwhich up your sleeves for our Flagship phone or we're throwing down, YOU HEAR ME?!
Samsung Devs: We can try.
Lol... This story is of course made-up by me just now, but if it entertained you, don't mind a thanks getting hit
Afterall, I did request Gtalk.apk from Android Market and the Gtalk team, that part of the story wasn't a joke. lol

There is such a low percentage of people experiencing random reboots still and even less of a percentage within the pure stock users out in the world. So I don't think that will change. Probably adding features like Gtalk with video and maybe enabling TV out...yeah right!

Captivate Glide ICS leak

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831561 captivate glide ics leak is out.
finally an official ics version for a tegra 2 phone.so this proves ics is coming to tegra 2. The other thing is some of our developers may be able to use those drivers.
yesss!!!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Probably won't help, it uses a newer version of the kernel and we don't have a 3.X kernel for the Atrix.
yes..it seems it wont help..but this gives hope for our official update
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if it's a kernel module or built-in.
But if it's built-in we need the sources. That means leaks won't help us we have to wait for an official release of the kernel-source.
When it comes to drivers, the kernel doesnt always mean a whole lot. If that phone is the same variant of Tegra 2 used in the Atrix, there's a good chance its drivers could be used.

From what I understand, the only reason the Mimosa drivers couldn't be used is because it was for a different kernel version. We don't have a 3.X kernel, so any drivers made for a 3.X kernel probably aren't going to work for us, unless someone wants to port Moto's changes in 2.6 up to a 3.1 kernel, I guess.

The Mimosa drivers couldnt be used because the Tegra 2 variant in that one was the AP25. The Atrix is AP20H. The kernel had nothing to do with it.

Where did you find this? The hwlibs in the system dump from that device suggest it is an AP20H with a higher clockspeed.
i think we dont have developers.. Really hard decompiling kernel and modding things , add extra things and recompiling kernel again?
Captivate Glide has the same Tegra 2, AP20H, so this leak should help.
I posted it in two threads but I didn't see any response from devs.

I'm having difficulty finding the thread, but its been discussed here on XDA before. Maybe you'll have better luck with search than I did. But the AP25 does have a higher clock speed than the AP20H.

Don't get me wrong, I hope you are right and that this leak will help us out for sure. I'm just trying to rein in my expectations because I want a fully functional ICS or JB build SO BAD.
I'm feeling optimistic about this leak. =)

Let's give them time to research and analyze

Hmmm. The ATRIX is also ap20h
From ATRIX 4g, ty all that made that possible @ ATRIX 4g community.

Think anything can be used from it Sam?
Will have to look at it on my day off. Saturday, which also happens to be my 2 year anniversary. All my time right now is spent on rf, and pca.

I'm willing to donate my time to you Sam. My Wednesday officially belongs to you. Please take it as a sign of gratitude =)

This kinda of things involving the creation of builds and what not are simply hard for me. I currently share my desktop with my gf, and have no laptop until after sept 5, when i get the rest of my fasfa money. So please don't get too exited.
