Just curious: As an EVO user, I've had Gingerbread on my phone for about two months now, but there isn't a 2.3 Epic ROM to be found. Is there really no work being done for 2.3 for the Epic yet? Forgive me if there's something I don't understand, I'm obviously not a dev and don't fully understand what goes into building something like that.
Thanks!
Search next time there are at least a dozen pointless threads asking this exact same question and getting the same answer. NO, the source code literally dropped less than a week ago and no other phone is even vaguely similar to ours with source to build drivers from.
Where is the TROLL SPRAY?

Oh I'm sorry, you guys are so right. I'm such a douche bag. Obviously if I use the search function and look for Gingerbread and 2.3 I get TONS of results that... oh, wait... I get nothing. Interesting as that's THE SAME THING I GOT LAST NIGHT WHEN I SEARCHED!
Still, I do appreciate your answer 063... glad the source finally dropped. Yet another reason why I would never personally buy a Samsung device, but for my wife it's fine.

Not to sound troll-y, but source for our froyo update dropped a couple days before the update itself. HTC doesn't do that very often.
Short answer: We're working on it. Expect to see some early testing builds here in the next week or two.
The source for 2.2.1 was released for epic, not 2.3/2.4

Oh, interesting. I assumed he meant that the source for 2.1 only now FINALLY dropped... but it was 2.2, huh? Interesting. Well, I would commend them if their update weren't bricking phones. Maybe they SHOULD wait until they are 100% certain that the release is solid before dropping the source on the world.

I know im a newbie so please dont flame me lol.. Does anyone here have an updated status on the official sprint froyo release as of today? Ive heard before iphone 4 release, ive heard june 26th, ive heard late 2010?? Just want to know an update..
I know this is never ending lol.. when froyo is released people will probably be asking when "Pancake" is gonna be released lol..
I doubt anyone here would be able to tell for sure when sprint will release a froyo rom. There are already froyo roms in the dev section. It's more likely we get a finished froyo rom from the xda community before sprint even announces theirs.

The next release will start with a "G." I believe it's gingerbread. They go in alphabetical order.
Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, etc.
That said - I do wonder when Pancake will be released. 2015?
Actually Froyo will be releaded for the Evo on July. The thread was lost some time ago. But apparently its legit.
Nice.. i hope it is in july.., Gingerbread.. lol thats awesome
The names are for deserts, so I doubt there will be a pancake release. I'm guessing pineapple upside down cake.
I haven't heard anything about froyo for the evo yet, unfortunately.

Look up this Forum for Froyo. The thread is a couple of pages back and its FULL of sources that confirm this.
Actually, no one REALLY knows for sure when we'll get it. July is just the best guess.

Will the Samsung Epic 4G ever get official CyanogenMod Support? I just got one and opened it this morning and I'm regretting it a little bit. I could still change it for the Evo, but I like this phone, so I was just wondering if more developers will support this device and if it'll ever have official CM support...? Thanks.
Definitely stupid, no kinda about it.
If you had bothered to look around for less than 5 minutes you'd have seen that there is currently a CM7 port in progress that meets criterion for Official support and just needs to be submitted to receive official support.
Damn I didn't know you could Search my entire history and see that I didn't read that Thread? Oh wait, you can't... and hold on, I did.
It is just a port though. When's it going to be submitted? And also, how about Gingerbread? Samsung's been known for leaving a lot of their phones behind... you think we'll ever get Gingerbread or not?
It will be submitted when it's complete, if you read it like you say you did you would know that, and the Evo doesn't exactly have an official Gingerbread either so that would hardly be a logical criterion in keeping the phone.
Yeah, but it does have official CM7 support, and if you asked me which manufacturer I'd believe in more to provide me some Christmas Treats, I'd say HTC. Oh, and the neighbors loud music.
Hey I traded my evo for an epic and it has its pros and cons. It really is a much better device, better screen, faster, and it has the physical keyboard. The big down side is there is not as many devs on it.
There is a team right now working on build CM7 from source for the epic so it will then be supported by the cm team. They are getting close but there still are some bugs.
If I was you I would hold on to the epic its a pretty damn good phone.
Edit: CM will only support a CM rom if its built from source, so as right now its not supported by cm. But from what I understand they are still helping.
I strongly agree with what you said, and for that, I will hold onto the phone. Thanks for that.

Lmao!
How about a Galaxy S2 Port... anybody think that'll ever happen?
I keep hearing we are, but I see no proof. Anything?
I am a total noob on here as well and I am not trying to be an ass when I say the following: Do a search!!
It is coming but from everything I have read on here from doing my own research, graphics drivers are a huge problem along with some other issues and CM9 will probably not see the light of day on the SGH-T989 until after Samsung releases their ICS build.
Also, it is never a good idea to ask for an ETA from any developer. From what I have heard from other people that especially holds true for Cyanogen.
I'm not asking for a ETA, I just want to know it's coming.

I can tell you that my TMO inside man told me that a internal doc was posted in the extranet that said the SGSII was getting ICS, but no date was included. With that said, when ICS is released on our phone we should see CM9 released within the month after that. Thats my guess.
Ah. People were making it out to be that it was coming out this month. Dreams crushed. D;
Thats what I thought too, but its going to be while. But well worth the wait im sure

It was stated that Samsungs goal was first quarter of 2012, I'd take that very loosely though.

I can't wait for ICS! My friend has the GNexus and its a nice phone however I like the physical appearance of the GS2 better!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Seeing how well Samsung's promises of software upgrades go (on the Behold and Vibrant) I do not count on ICS being available for them at any time in the near future and definitely not in Q1. I'm sure we'll see CM9 released before seeing an official version from Samsung. At this point, between Dewizzed and CM7 I am very happy with the device and can wait (or at least try to!!).
deck was updating his rom almost once or twice a week since the ICS source code was released, but it seems we have been stuck on a5 for ages now, i couldnt beleave my eyes when i saw decks ICS pushed 3 pages back on the evo dev forum string, any news on when we may get a alpha 6 or pre beta or dare i even say beta...?? or is deck studying in his man cave developing something so smooth it will suprise us all... just pondering, any thoughts??
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Follow his twitter. I think he actually is up to a7
No decks is still a5 its preludes that is up to a7..
deck said a week or so ago that he is waiting for a newer kernel before he updates..I imagine that hasnt happened yet..
As any true deck follower would know...when his thread seems to go quiet for a while, that means he's cooking something good and then BAM!!! he drops that like its hot cuz it always is.

I saw on his Twitter a while back that he's not releasing nothing till better kernel come out
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The rom functionality is being limited by the kernel at the moment until the drivers are coded and compiled things wont be working so they can't be added for updates, whats working is what has kernel support once the kernel is fully functional the rom will be fully functional. Without official support or a phone with similar hardware specs being officially supported coding the kernel and porting the rom is about 1000x harder since it is being built from the ground up. Be patient it will come just not as fast as usual
We are legion, for we are many.

Nahh its impossible to keep up with everything going on..
I meandered on to the development section and was quite surprised to see such recent ROMS and developers working on a cell phone that is turning 3 years old in 5 months. Many EVO buyers have had their contracts expire and are able to upgrade to a new phone. There are much faster phones out there, with better specs that are possibly more interesting to develop for, because you might reach a larger user base. My question to the Devs is why are you sticking to the original EVO? Don't get me wrong, I am a current original EVO owner myself so by all means, keep up the good work, just curious as to why you stuck to such an old device.
Simple answer is its fun! Its a great way to get practice and many devs have friends in the forum. So why walk away completely? If you still have it, you can test away on things you try to build.

Haha, so the EVO is just a scapegoat for developers that don't want to brick their actual device?

4.2 on the OG is more functional than 4.2 on the Jewel. And I need the 4.2 Bluetooth stack. So . . . yeah . Thus the reason my OG is listed as Device 1 in my sig .
Hell, Devs are still working on the Samsung Moment
Sprint htc evo 4g
i bought a sprint htc evo 4g that i bought from amazon ... i cant use sprint in my country and i cant unlock a sprint phone since itc cdma right?... but can i just leave the phone like with sprint but root it and play wiith iit because the only reason i bought it was to learn everything about rooting and i needed a test device...??
There are jelly bean ROMS for the OG? Are all the radios working?

Sure. Since you don't have service on the phone, it's basically a really small tablet. All the basic functionality will work, and there is always WiFi.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Please, be specific. The ROM is fully functional outside of the things that require new drivers for Android 4.x, i.e. front-facing camera, and WiMAX.

It's actually SDX Developers...and yes the Moment was the "Evo" of it's time, sadly however, it's time has passed. I'm a new convert over to XDA from SDX, having to give last rites to my Moment a month ago. Really only one active ROM still being worked on (UberMoment 1.6 - props to TheTehk17 for hanging in there :good: ). They never got a GB Rom fully functional (CM7 was close), all dev was, and still is, Froyo. Major hardware limitations and lack of support will probably keep any further ROM upgrades forthcoming.
Inherited an OG to use for now - great to see all the work being done! Waiting for the arrival of the S4 or M7 for upgrade, until then enjoying the plethora of ROM's available!
Upon upgrade, I will be passing the OG on to any dev here who will continue to put it to good use!

Yeah, I never thought the Moment could successfully run Froyo, unless there was a hybrid Froyo/GB Rom. I dev'd a nice ROM for the Moment, but I think I took all the links down a few months ago.

The devs did a pretty good job porting over Froyo ROMs from the Intercept and Transform, and got those pretty functional. Otherwise, the phone would have been stuck on 2.1 Eclair! As mentioned, they have a somewhat working CM7 - buggy, but it does boot up.! The dev that ported that moved on leaving no one to work out the kinks.
So, for me, I'm like a kid in a candy store with not only GB Roms, but ICS, JB, AOSP.......and Sense too! Hell, I'm in hog heaven
lol. yeah, you can flash a different ROM every day for a year, going back to 2.1 if you wanted to
