Looks great, as soon as I can get around the root block from the last update I'm gonna have to give this a try.

Sweet. Everything works and looks great . Thanks

Launcher pro is not showing on the bottom. Is there something I need to do special to get that to load. Thanks

Great rom rock solid and smooth. Only issue I see is that it always shows the sync symbol even though nothing is syncing.

Nice work here!

I see you added SetCPU for overclocking but yet in the very next line you say it has a Stock HTC Kernel. Is there something I missed, do hope there is an Over clockable Kernel, just to screw around with. Looks like a very sharp looking Rom.
Thanks, Vinny

Can someone tell me how to activate the ics keyboard. Can't seem to locate it .......thanks in advace.

is not setcpu, its called nofrillscpu and is free. the reason i added was in case someone wanted to use a custom kernel the tool was present to o/c the new kernel.

This is not working for me... it just goes back to sense... never gives me the choice.
Weird.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Ok i rebooted, then the choice came up... but now that I selected Luncher Pro, it has the plain grey icons...
How can I get the cool launcher icons shown on the front page?
Thanks!

Sorry to post another whiney sounding gripe but is there anyway to get rid of the recent apps in the tray? I just long press home for the same functionality.

Help with CM7 discussion and tip sharing...noob-friendly!

Hi, I don't want to bog down the CM7 threads with noob questions. Now that our great DEVs have gotten WiMax working and Epic officially supported I thought I would try CM7 since I was already on MTD. I got it working pretty well but there are some things I miss from TW ROMs that maybe some of you have already got figured out or found an equivalent. I thought this might be a good thread to share tips.
First off the stock email app sucks, can't select to always show pictures so get K9 from the market.
So your long texts don't show up as gibberish make sure to select split sms and turn off split counter. Nightly 16 and up fixes long texts over wifi. Or use GoSMS and set to split long texts in settings.
If you want to record video and need the flash on I found Tjunks video camera in the Market has that option.

Tazfanatic suggested I add the wiki (thanks Taz) for the Epic/CM7 here:

Changelog: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=epicmtd
Please feel free to share other tips and tricks here. I want this thread to remain noob friendly so if someone asks a question that has been answered 100 times in the CM7 thread please just answer it nicely. Let's leave that thread to Development and bug fixes. Thank you my friends.

As for themes I always hate searching the market, but it is where I end up all the time. Sometimes a Google search makes it faster but not always. There is an app on the market that allows you to sort cm7 themes by price, but I wasn't a fan.
People have mentioned a paid 4g widget that works, but the toggle has been working since a couple nightlies ago. I'm on nightly 10 with shadow kernel and getting great performance and battery.

Have you tried K9 mail (free from market)? I dont use it anymore, but I found that to be the best email app for managing multiple accounts.

You guys are the best! Thanks for the great suggestions. Will get nightly 12 tonight and K9 and check out that theme listing. Will probably just end up modding framework-res myself...that still works on CM7 right? LOL.

I have an idiot question to add, is the Epic 4G's screen mdpi or hdpi?
Matters because some of the themes are hdpi only.

Try Enhanced Email (although I admit I haven't used it with exchange - just to manage two gmail and one yahoo account). Has a widget with #of unread emails and a bunch of customization options (different colored icons appear on the status bar for each of the accounts). I liked this app much better than K9. It's paid but can be had for free on applanet (just not the newest version).

Speaking of noobish questions, here are two - how does one add a speedial and a one-touch search function to the stock CM7 dialer? Haven't figured out how to tie speedial #s to digits, so have been using Big Dialer App for this (but would prefer to stay stock as Big Dialer is ugly as hell). I also miss the TW ability to search through contacts by letter from the dialer screen - now have to hit contacts -> menu -> search which is pretty annoying. Any advice? Would prefer not flashing a theme.

You can search by letter on the dialer screen. Try it.

Side note from previous link I posted. Looks like https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.list.tmobile.themes. Is a more convenient way of browsing these themes from your phone

Deca himself! (bowing down) thank you sir for all of your amazing work.
Yes, the T9 contacts search option works pretty well... needed to select search T9 in dialer preferences.
I found a thread with a way to implement speed dial without getting rid of stock CM7 dialer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369776
It's a market app. Unfortunately, it is either this speeddial app or the t9 contacts search option - T9 search has to be unchecked for it to work. There is no long-press function for this app, it is very no-frills. While it is not a make-or-break feature by any means, but it would be nice to have a long-press speed dial option baked in a future nightly (so it could coexist with T9 contacts search).

If you run multiple accounts in k9 like I do, go into account settings for each one. You can set it to show pics after clicking (default, yuck), only from contacts, or all, among many other settings you will want to personalize.

I hope we can keep this thread going so everyone can get CM7 setup the way they like.

I really like the idea of a thread like this as I don't want to be flamed for filling the cm7 thread with n00b Qs.. the epic has been my only smartphone.. so cm7 and non-touchwiz is still new to me..

SMS messaging replacement recs?

Ok, I really don't like the stock ICS SMS messaging app. Looking at playstore, it seems the Go SMS is the most popular replacement. Anyone have recs for other apps to consider?

Handcent is a good one. highly customize app
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I used to love handcent until I tried gosms and haven't looked back. Very customizable and plenty of themes to choose from. That'd be my pick

Hnadcent for me

I think you mean you don't like the stock touch wiz messaging app?
i LOVE the stock ICS sms app (pure google ics app with the green logo) but hate the samsung touchwiz app...i hate how every mms is a slideshow
I tried handcent back on my captivate and it crippled my phone. Thought I'd try it again over a year later and it made the phone instantly almost unuseable. Don't understand it. Pissed me off so much i wrote my first review on the market lol.
I tried to go with a stock ics app from the market, but it was taking a few extra minutes to get my texts.
Went with GoSMS and its useable until I get on a pure google rom.

I'm giving Go Pro a try, if only because it seems "prettier" than Handcent. Stupid reason, but anything is better than the stock SMS client.

I used handset forever... Then tried gosms one day and never looked back. It's themes are nicer, and it never crashes. Love it.... I too hate every stock sms app I have ever used, except for htc.

The last time I checked GO SMS on my Droid X it didn't allow me to use individual alerts for different contacts. Does stock do that or does GO do that now? That's a feature I love about Handcent.

Is that Go or the S3 app you're referring to? Just want to be sure I understand...

I was used to the MIUI SMS app, and loved how it told me when a message was received by the person.
Any of the replacement apps do that? I tried it with handcent and didn't work.

Go. I think it had a whole think under the settings called individual settings or something, and you can add individual notifications etc I believe. Download it and check it out.

I think I also saw something in handcent somewhere in the settings where you can also get alerts/notifications when something was sent or delivery confirmation...something like that.

Quick reply on stock messaging??

I know TW never really had quick reply like aosp messaging does, but does anyone know of a good 3rd party app or someway to get quick reply to messaging? I love my N3 but quick reply is the one thing I am missing a lot from my N2 which was using aosp messaging. I wouldn't mind Touchwiz's messaging if it only had quick reply.

Try 8sms. It's built off of AOSP with improvements.

As you said, thats a aosp function. You could try to brign over that mod into N3, however since we can't do a nandroid, i wouldnt delete SecSMS but rather rename it and then try bring in the the aosp one.. just a thought
Until we get recovery it is hard for some of these itesm to be accomplished. And we just got root the other day... Give it a little time sir.

Try out Textra?
super clean sms app with real statu bar notifications, instead of annoying "new message" lol
and quick reply.

I really miss quick reply as well, but I don't see myself rooting my N3. The bloatware I don't want is already disabled and outside of that I can't really think of that much functionality that nova launcher doesn't offer me outside of this. I like the stock messaging apps because I actually get pic messages and MMS unlike any AOSP messaging app I've ever used so I'm not willing to lose that in order to gain quick reply.
If you find a good solution, please post it up !

I would go with 8sms or textra.

Tried that over the weekend, MMS didn't work.

Thanks for all the responses guys. I'm gonna look into 8sms & textra and see what they're like. I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna be rooting my N3 either. I'll probably end up doing so eventually, especially if we get twrp recovery n the bootloader unlocked, but I'm not holding my breath and even if we don't I think I'll still be staying very happy with this phone! With the exception of some minor bugs that are to be expected with new hardware/software, and that I'm sure will be fixed, I think Sammy did a great job with all the upgrades this time around. It would be nice to delete the bloat ware I don't care for like almost all the Verizon apps, but other than that a lot of what I rooted for is either now in the phone or I can get with Nova or Apex launcher. All n all I'm very happy with this phone and its the first phone I may be OK with not rooting. We'll see lol.

If youre not a fan of the stock messaging app(like me) simply download Textra SMS from the playstore, which is far better in my opinion, and also Textra SMS emoji plugin and voila! you have all ios emojis! just go to the "+" symbol next to the input box and click the smiley at the bottom. See attached screenshot.
