Dear Epic 4G community,

The team is is now fixing bugs to prepare for CM9 beta3 for Epic 4G. A great many bugs have already been fixed and new features are working! If you follow us on Google+ you can help us to test builds as we approach release. Epic 4G is still a great phone and this team will continue to update CyanogenMod to support it for the foreseeable future.In an unusual but highly successful move, we have invited Alias8818 of Epic 4G AOKP to collaborate on common issues as a member of Team Epic. This has turned out to be a healthy partnership as we have learned about fixes in AOKP to merge into CM, and AOKP relies on CM for device bug fixes.
If you appreciate our work, please consider supporting our team with a tiny contribution of $5. We are currently saving up reserves to purchase Sprint's upcoming SGS3 for our lead developers, as we believe it will be the best Android phone on Sprint. We sincerely hope it will have a slider keyboard like the first generation SGS Epic 4G, but even without a keyboard it will be an awesome phone that we want CyanogenMod to work well with.
Thank you!
AS far as I am concerned the more the merrier. I think it is a smart move and I will be looking for some good changes. Thank you
ReplyDeleteYou guys are fantastic. Words can't express my gratitude to your support for this awesome phone. Your team has put Ice Cream Sandwich on our phones and I find it's absolutely awesome considering the RAM limitations.. most people probably couldn't even tell it has under 512MB ram.. but you guys made it happen, and breathed new life into my phone. It's helped me daily in so much, and I'm happy to say it can handle all the latest games very smoothly. Even Sims FreePlay.. taking a whopping 760MB on the sdcard would demand lots of memory and yet it doesn't freeze up here. Temple Run as well runs awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs for the SGSIII, it's absolutely stunning with new innovations in it's software (been waiting a while for this to happen from Android company)... but I too hope they can at least have 1 version with a QWERTY keyboard. I talked to one Sprint rep locally that says the issue with phones like ours is that they break a lot more often because of the slide out keyboard.. but nonetheless it's tremendously useful when you have to type a very complex password, lengthy email, or txts. Also, hoping U.S version has an AMOLED Plus HD screen.. not sure why global version didn't have the +, which does make a difference. Lastly, I worry that the back of it will be too fingerprint prone like the front screen... love Gorilla glass but I can't go anywhere without my microfiber.. lol. To those who don't know.. SGSIII will be about half as thin as our current phones.. 7.8mm, and with a crazy 2100 mAh battery compared to our 1500 mAh(gen 1) or 1800mAh (gen 2... which does help quite a bit and fits nicely). Now if only Sprint can push out LTE much faster that would be awesome.. but luckily I usually have wifi whereever I am. Once again, thanks to all of you and I will donate to your great efforts.
I am disappointed to see items like "proprietary SATA connector", and the mention of other servers when I see something like "2x6core Opteron 1U rackmount".
ReplyDeleteThe 300gb SSD for ~$500 is also disappointing. An SSD is understandable, but, 300gb, not so much.
Also, the RAM upgrades . . either those servers are doing a lot more than building Android builds or the hardware is sitting there idle.
Now . . if you're doing full hardware Virtualization, that's understandable, but, memory deduplication taken into consideration the suggestion that there is a need for more than 16gb of RAM is a bit hard to believe.
