Well, that is not all that unusual. From a development and support standard, it is next to impossible for Google or anyone else to keep track of and support every possible ROM out there. Just like with anything, when you start making changes, you are taking the risk and giving up the safety of designated support. And to be quite honest, I would rather get my support from other users on XDA than "official" corporation lackeys.

while i agree that i would rather have a non corporate dev, it wont do much good if support for CDMA is removed from the AOSP source tree... Basically google is saying, get your CDMA support from your carrier, not us. even though they originally wrote the code to get CDMA working, much of the data used is supplied by the carrier. I think it has a lot to do with verizon, not sprint, but cdma is cdma...
Wow, people really do love to misinterpret and over react to Google announcements. This is starting to feel like the privacy policy backlash.
Umm, after reading the actual Google groups article (not the usual trash by the register), it doesn't look like anything has changed. According to the announcement, Google has simply changed the verbiage in their AOSP documentation to reflect the reality of how little support they've been able to give CDMA...
Sooo...basically, Google has always had a hard time supporting custom AOSP CDMA builds due to the technical reasons outlined, but the AOSP documentation gave the impression that there wasn't a difficult time. Now they've simply edited the documentation to reflect the reality of the situation. Not dropping support, as they've stated twice, they'll still be giving the same amount of effort to support CDMA.
So...the status quo is still, indeed, the status quo.
Carry on people, nothing to worry about here.

This is the guy that was working on hdmi out here, before the mods banned him for asking for cash. Also, teamwin isn't working on their own version, they took the release from Sam, added their own tweaks and released under their group. kinda slimey IMO.
I've been playing with his releases and they're quite good, best i've seen yet. The only complaint i have is you have to flash his modified kernel to get it working and i'm too content with my current kernel.

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure Samsung is tired of being shown up by a bunch of dev's on a forum who don't get paid for what they do. I'm not worried though because even if they go to a locked bootloader, give it a week or two and someone will find a way to unlock it or just get around it. I have full confidence in the dev's here...
This is a leak for the International version of the Galaxy S....this might not mean anything for us just yet...
At least it's a start. Given that the International versions got their Froyo in November (?), maybe we'll get ours in roughly 3 months after that due to conversions to CDMA and all the other stuff our unique Epics have.

With Moto already locking bootloaders and HTC fiddling with the idea, I think a lot of people in the scene are a bit concerned.
I can totally see the entire hobby marginalizing itself to Nexus devices some day. It's not like any major vendor is going to step up just to appeal to a tiny community of hackers any more than carriers are stepping up to make their networks strong enough for that 2% of customers sucking up bandwidth. :/
How can they legally lock the bootloaders? Wasn't it ruled that once we purchase these devices, they're OURS and we can hack/root/jailbreak them all we want?

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!?

He doesn't think it will... he wants cm9 more than 4g.

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've been wondering how exactly did the EVO devs get 4G working

Months and Months and Months of trial and error as well as Steve Kondik(Cyanogen) being one of it's maintainers. Wasn't simple wasn't easy and wasn't the fastest thing to happen. People need to understand that.
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? I know I saw some video of a guy running a "demo" of Madwimax on an Android 3.0 tab using a usb modem connected to the tab. Could it be modified to run on the Epic? He has tar of madwimax for android in his Youtube video for download. OK I found the video of it:

Actually, that's not that bad, I'll pass along that you pointed this out. I don't know if it'll work but that's probably lol, the most realistic thing I've heard regarding wimax so far.

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?
