Interesting...... - Epic 4G General

I came across this while Googling earlier. Seems Samsung made their RC's available somehow. Though it won't help us, it makes me wonder if there is a possibility.

Seems our siblings are getting ICS, why does the epic always get left in the dust? Because of Sprint?

whats messed up is vibrant & Captivate has same specs??? SO WTF SAMMY

maybe cuz these phones are gsm ones. and closer to the international one.

These are not official Samsung builds, these are builds by Team ICSSGS. They are basically pure vanilla builds with no additional software or modifications, except for a few to get them to work on the listed devices. Thus no Touchwiz.. IIRC, Team ICSSGS began this project in November and have had these 3 phones with ICS since January.

nvm already been stated.

If your on XDA then you know we have ICS, so who cares? Even better it's cm9. Even better Marcusant keeps kanging other ICS based builds through it.

in what ways would this help or benefit us just curious is all? is it less aggresive TW so that we have more RAM? but seeing how we already have AOSP isn't that much smaller than TW already?

Honestly, I don't think the ram in the epic is enough for CM9, it just barely gets by IMO, so tw? Sorry but no, too bloated. Even the processor has a hard time keeping up with cm9, all that TW bloat would cripple it.
And yes, I still have my epic, and I carry it around everywhere. Just permanently in airplane mode lol.

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.

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

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.

BML vs MTD. Too soon to change for daily driver?

I'm still on bml because its more reliable and every thing works the way it's supposed to. I tried the cm7 rom and I lasted about 2 days and quickly realized that it was very limited in flexibility and function.
Granted, it was very smooth. I know it's the future but its still very beta. Just read all the mtd threads, and you'll see how some basic things are buggy or not working.
I'm a little disappointed that some of the devs are abandoning all ei22 bml support. Especially since official gingerbread isn't even fully mature yet.
I am happy that at least TW will be supported in MTD, that's a major plus for me.
What are your thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I totally agree with you on this. I am trying to keep up on the MTD TW threads to see where the future is going but will remain probably on Legendary 2.1 with Shadowkernel for the immediate future because my phone is so freaking awesome right now!
As soon as Bbelos puts up 1.04 you guys should grab it! It will be phenomenal! All the speed you are used to and great voodoo color defaults (most will not need voodoo control app).
Well I happen to be the one that always says you'll come back. I have since moved to cm7 because earthbound put out the cm7 kernel I missed the first time I moved. I do have a few bugs I'm dealing with atm but nothing to hard to workaround. To be honest I don't see much improvment from mtd to bml or than the space and file system. As of now its just not too different however once the devs start to tear it apart and see how stuff works is when things will start to pick up. However they must be getting somewhere since there has been multiple updates on cm7 since to mtd move compared to bml.
Sent from my OG Epic
Mtd is awesome!!!!!!!
Im running tortel1210's TWMTD rom and its amazing with Samurai3.3.1MTD and Ii really can see somewhat of a difference. On BML my phone was not able to run certain programs like chainfire correctly. Games like Trainz,SHADOWGUN, and GTA 3 would not play. After switching to MTD these games run smooth as ever and I have seen change in the behavior of many apps I have downloaded. MTD in my opinion will save the Epic from discontinuation of development on it. Mabye ports like working sense can finally be achieved from this new propietary system
Imho mtd is waay more reliable. I haven't got any of the dreaded gingerbread corruption.

You should just take the jump once Earthbound comes out with his updated cm kernel so far cm7 has been everything I wanted it to be. Much faster game wise than two I don't quite understand it but its amazingly fast. Try it at least. I have yet to regret it.

[Q] Will CyanogenMod 9 [ICS] on Fascinate be far behind like CM7

Does anyone know if a stable CM9 for Fascinate will be released far behind the release for other phones? Similar to CM7? Or will stable builds be released at the same time for all CM supported devices?
Personally I think the version we have now is pretty stable. As they add their tweaks and settings well get them. Either through jt or a Kang from someone.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
It shouldn't. The reason CM7 took awhile was because a Fascinate version was created from the bottom up. Now that they have a base, CM9 should be out as quickly as any other phone.

So, for anyone who remembers the Puzzle Lock era I started >.>, I'm wanting something on the S3. Someone needs to enable the TouchWiz Tablet UX! Just like the puzzle unlock for the Epic, its all in the framework, just needs enabling. Supposedly, changing DPI doesn't just make it work, it has to be enabled first.

I still lurk around these parts because I think the SGS3 forums feel so cold and hollow, I think I've officially lost my desire to flash ROMs on my phone besides rooting. I will however flash a stable CM10 once that becomes available tho, because I have fell in love with it running on my Kindle Fire.

if it weren't for the DEV's, we'd still be under GB. NO ICS, NO JellyBean. longer waiting periods for the damn updates. C'mon. The Epic is a great device but because Samsung didn't provide the right attention to it... You get the point.
I think the boards are quiet because
There are a few alternatives to XDA for the Epic, like Epic CM's google+ page
Cm9 rc2 is out and it is dam near good
GB ROMs have kinda reached perfection
CM10 is just starting, and there is little to report
the majority of idiots have upgraded
And, sadly, a lot of devs have moved on
For me, as long as CM9 and CM10 support continues, i'm happy
