[Q] Epic Development?

Hey all, if you've ever been on the CDMA Hero thread you probably know me, and know that I'm a major theme developer and community support member. I'm most likely going to upgrade in about a week to the Epic, and was wondering how far along rom/theme development is for the Epic, what the best roms are now, etc. Thanks everyone, and I look forward to working with you on Epic development and support!
And feel free to see some of my work on theming in my sig
Please vote in the poll if you can! Thank you And if you vote for the Evo option, can you please tell me why? Thanks

The more devs the better! Look forward to using your work.

Thanks man, I looks forward to making it How do you like the Epic? Any major bugs I should be aware of?

There seems to be a lot of drama and desire to program for the fame instead of the scene. Semi-frustrating to see from the perspective of an enthusiast. But I am hesitant to criticize because I am only beginning to dive into android dev.

Most dev work (not that the current leaked Froyo ROMs are not in abundance but nontheless) in my opinion seems to be at a slight impasse except for work on the leaked Froyo but I think other devs are just waiting till it is officially released..

Yeah, I've heard about some of the Epic drama

I can't justify a few loud kids screaming in the playground as drama. It only takes a very few active trolls to derail a thread and once it starts, people tend to stay away. I blame it mostly on the frustration of having to wait on Samsung.
I find that theres a lot of good devs and people like anywhere else. A lot of the bugs (major one being gps which I have not encountered) have been fixed by the leaked Froyo and with its release coming soon (knock on wood) its understandable that the community is going a little slow.
Good devs and helpful members are always greeted with open arms here and I really hope you'll be enjoying your new Epic soon.

Great, thank you for that I've heard about a back button flaw, any validity?

There used to be a Back button flaw in early hardware revisions but it was addressed shortly after launch I believe.

Welcome... I look forward to seeing your stuff!

There's minor bugs here and there.mostly from user error. I love my epic though and I am glad I didn't jump on the evo bandwagon. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Welcome!
We could certainly use more devs!
Really the one major flaw was already mentioned (GPS) and for the most part that had been addressed in 2.2, but I heard there was still a cache issue.
Mic doesn't work in 2.1 with non stock kernels when using the 3.5mm jack. Worked great in my tests with dk05 2.2 but that's stock kernel.
That's all that stands out to me atm.
I'm currently using the syndicate rom 1.0.2 with xtreme kernel 1.2.0 and have been extremely happy with them. I'll probably get bored and flash the latest froyo leak soon though.
As for the drama, I came from the WM 8525 forum and seem to remember people working much better together, but we had some good quality devs/users.
I'm sure as the Epic community continues to mature the drama will lessen. One can hope.
At any rate, I look forward to seeing your work

Well, i'm currently good for this as well, but look at it, the only devs that people know for vibrants are: Eugene, Master, TW thats pretty much it i think?
TW is probably a bunch of people, master, he seems to be working alone currently, and Eugene is probably working with barak or something.

And btw where is Eugene? He hasnt teleased anything in a while...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

If I'm not mistaken that 10 million number is the whole Galaxy S line. 3 of the phones in that line have had very little, if any, in the way of leaked software thereby putting the need for anything new at a stand still. The majority of the 10 million sold have been I9000 which has seen plenty of development. As for the Vibrant I count 4 active Dev teams that are major players here, Eugene, Team Whiskey, Master, Heathen. Then you have a couple others releasing random items. To my recollection there has been a new rom or update to existing roms every single week. I'm not sure what else you would want maybe a new rom to flash daily? One of those devs has stop posting here but those that like his work have given us all the updated info. All of the Devs with the exception of Heathen have slowed down a bit for various reason known only to them but I'd speculate 3 possible reasons. 1. Holidays man people want to relax a little. 2. Nothing new to work with in a few weeks and the last 3 or 4 leaks have just been tweaks to 2.2. And finally C. with 2.3 on the horizon I'm sure some of the devs are busy finding a way to bring us all a stable/working version.
Hope this clears everything up for you.

What "bet"?
Official froyo doesn't make people want to develop this phone.
When official froyo comes out, everyone will want gingerbread, when we get that official well want the next, and so on...

Not exactly true. I mean I understand the sentiment. But it only goes up to a point. I thoroughly expect either an official 2.3 release sometime this year, or at least a stable 2.3 port from the Nexus considering it's pretty much the same exact phone. But after that, I'm not expecting much considering the handset with be EOL by then.
I was a former G1 owner, and I think it was great that we were able to get an official build of 1.6, and even though CM worked pretty well on it (at least the Eclair versions), you can't really expect that it would run Froyo well.
Bottom line, I think if every handset was updated within the first 1.5 years of it's life, people would be satisfied and there would be a lot less frustration about lack of support with Android in general.

Flash-aholic Anonymous tread

So I decided to start this tread for all of us that are addicted to flashing Roms thanks to Eugene, Master, Heathens, and specially Team Whiskey.
I got my first taste of a Froyo Rom back in October and I've been hooked like a crack addict! Lol!
Although I've never tried crack I can only image how they feel!
I check in with my XDA app more than I do my girlfriend, waiting and hoping for that new Rom to flash just to get that fresh Rom high! Lol!
Any themes that come up I flash just because I have a need to flash something.
Team Whiskey has the best stuff so anything new from them I just gotta have. I can only imagine what I'm going to do when they have Gingerbread for my phone!
They say the first steps to recovery is to admit you have a problem and to identify the source!
My name is Victor and I'm a flash -aholic thanks to my Vibrant and all the developers at XDA.
So the rest of you guys just like me admit your addiction so you can feel better and we can all work on our problem together!

Hi, my name is Paul and I too am a flashaholic. I'm so glad that someone had the courage to help us all try to get on the road to recovery. My addiction has caused me to lose time, dignity and self esteem. I am ashamed of my repetitive behaviors and always wanting to seek a new high. I have sought after fantasy speeds and lagfix numbing for years now and I want to stop but I can't!!!!! Hopefully I will now have the motivation to do so by knowing that other XDA brothers and sisters are having the same struggles. Thank you all!!!!!
BTW, just flashed M10 RC1, nice...can't wait for the next update

Paul just want to let you know that we are all here for you, together we can get through this! Lol!
How's Rc1 compared to Nero 4, I've been waiting for them to make it more stable!

I know that M9 was the fastest ROM that I have ever used on the Vibrant. Not knocking TW or Eugene, but that **** is so snappy, even before voodoo.
So M10 should only be faster.

Its more addicting than sex

In the past four days I have flashed nero 4, 4.1. M9,M10, pepperkake, and modded and morphed all of them fully.
Running nero 4.1 + DoW now, and I'm thinking about modding gingerclone and M10 beta 4 with dragon and DoW kernals.
Nero+DoW *vibrant*

I'm Glensta - Newcomer flash-a-holic. Since the vibrant came out, I've bricked a total of 6 vibrants. I returned 4 to 1 store, telling them "I don't know what happened?" Then that store refused anymore returns, so I found a different store that'd take back my 5th vibrant.....Finally, my 6th vibrant came from t-mobile cust. svc with some routine questions being asked by the rep. Now I'm good at "download" mode finally.
I did use one of my family member's upgrade (hell - they said they won't use it - so why not) and bought me a little cheapie phone just in case I brick again.
Flashing's fun w/ friends

Hi, my name's Steven, and I've been a flash-a-holic for about a year, when I first met that green robot Andy. Currently I'm waiting for a fix for the FFC so I can mod my phone even more. (Pretty sure I'll be the only one in my city with a FFC on my Vibrant 3G[It's like Samsung's copying the Apple what with releasing the Vibrant 4G, so mine's the 3G])

I do flash back and forth thou, I have like three different rom in sd card and I do it during my aviation class time! Not addicted though just fun hehe

The real name is not Flash-aholic, this was called Obsessive-ROM Updating Disorder Join the Group LOL.

I'm not sure what I am. I flash my own phone. Don't get enough of it so I talk people at my work to let me flash their phones. Then as I am doing support for phones and applications on the phone, I am encouraged to flash and learn more stuff....

I like it a lot. Unfortunately my sole criteria in evaluating a ROM anymore is how long it takes until I get my first random shutdown. I'm now into the end of a second full day and knock on wood, it has not turned off yet. The speed, with Voodoo, is comparable or faster than Axura. The one 2.2 incarnation series I have never used is Nero, for whatever reasons, not sure? The aesthetics are fine for me. I know the thread has said there's an issue with the "Ambient Launcher" which I do not use anyway, so, it's great in my opinion. I'm not sure I read anything about any other issues. RC2 apparently is now out, but I am staying put on the "it ain't broken" theory. I may not even try 2.3 when it comes out. I'm hoping to be cured from the addiction by then (yeah, right).

Ever since i figured out how to break into my perfected SPL mytouch3g, I can't help but check the various forums for just another ROM to try. I now have a haxsung vibrant as my main with my mytouch 3g(super-F) in my coat pocket just for such an emergency..
This rom has turned into my favorite. I've got a backup of v3, and this. Seems to be all I need but I do enjoy seein the other versions and how they compare.

So much for Miui coming to the Atrix today...

I know that the OP of the previous thread supposedly asked for the thread to be closed, but seriously, I came home early to be able to install Miui onto my mom's Atrix so she could get off the CM7 beta2.
I guess for now I'll have to install the latest 'CM7'-ish rom for her, considering the Atrix still isn't officially supported.

You could always develop it yourself instead of whining. The developers owe you nothing! I know if I was the dev I wouldn't release it just because of people like you!

As far as I've experienced on the CM7 build for the Atrix, the battery life is simply atrocious along with the lack of webtop and proper HDMI-out support.

I am owed nothing from developers.
But when I read that a build of some ROM is coming x day, and I take the time to come home to help my mother put that on her phone only for it to (as of yet) not come to fruition, I am less than pleased with said developer.
They still owe me nothing, but they have less than my full satisfaction.

MIUI is based off of CM7 so chances are more than likely the same stuff won't work that doesn't work on CM7 for the Atrix.

Battery life is my main problem with CM7, it just wont last more than 2/3rds of a day. I've been finding myself to bring the charger wherever I go.
Here's to hoping that the developer who was kind enough to even think of getting MIUI for our Atrix devices, gives us a more solid timeframe.
It's all about setting expectations I guess. For me, my expectation of the Atrix in itself has been surpassed with the bA2tf CM7 release. I guess I'm easy to please!

I'm not getting the whole " my battery doesn't last on cm7 " I can get a solid 8 hours of constant use without the need for a charger.. 10 % per hour give or take. With the stock kernal. I even nought the siedio 3500 mah extended battery. And find I really don't need it ATM.
While miui would def rock to have on our atrix... I'm content with cm7 for my needs. And not in anyway getting caught up in the where is this or that drama.. sit back enjoy your phone. Lol

Looking for pity and using your mom's well being in her phone-life to get it? You are the type that will drive slowness up for miui development for the Atrix.
You should buy your mom a new phone and try not reporting it to the world for a change.

Hasta La Vista

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

X, thank you for all that you have done for the OG Epic community. Noone knows how many countless hours you have spent make these phones show their true potential. The Optimus guys are lucky to have you and your skills.

Thanks for the support, guys. I really appreciate it. I'll miss you guys.

Oops. I just noticed I posted this in Android Development. My bad. I don't think this is development.
Edit: Thanks, Kenny for fixing that.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better. My dying Epic spent its last several months of life running CM7 with your original Crespo patch, and that is what will remain on it as it is powered down for the last time. Thanks again, and best of luck in all your future endeavors

Go with an Optimus if you can. My dad has the S3 and it is nice, but worse than the OG. I'll miss all you. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. Good luck to all of you.

It seems like it is getting closer and closer to when I have to turn out the lights on this forum.

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I may be seeing you soon. Lol want to jump ship from this sprint bandwagon so bad.
Thanks Xbox for all the amazing ROMs, support, and dedication making this phone last far beyond any other phones of it's time. Love seeing people's brand new phones with inferior software than that of my 2 year old epic! Keep on keeping on man. Optimus G folks don't know what they are about to get

Kenny was refering to the discussion of other phones.. Not the Goodbye in general to Xboxfanj.

Verizon 4g lte is amazing to say the least. SwiftKey Flow is now my way of getting around the physical keyboard i still miss from my epic 4g.Even after i gave it to my girlfriend i knew I'd never have the same feeling of waiting for my favorite roms to update and getting new kernels for ICS that was the climax of the Epic for sure.. really appreciate the work you've done on the Epic Xbox, I hope the Optimus community enjoys your future work as you continue to improve their phones .

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
