Okay I am trying to understand everything with cyanogenmod here. so far i have rooted my phone (2.2 voodoo kernel/custom recovery). I am wanting to put cyanogenmod on it because ive seen/heard the many features that it has to offer. Upon reading all this I am coming confused and need to know is there a "Stable and working" cyanogenmod for the samsung mesmerize? and how to put it on the phone if there is. Please and thank you

This has all been covered in the actual CM thread, all of our ROM's are stable they just have some missing features (AOSP built ones anyway)
MMS seems to be an issue right now, i have tried apns backup and reinstall and no luck. The other issue i have noticed is the cameras highest res is 3mp, but is fully functional. I also got 2694 on quadrant, if you have never used cyanogenmod i highly recommend it. Coming from a desire this is a bit of a step backwards, but no other rom will do. That being said, it's highly customizeable compared to other roms i have tried.
So the only thing not working is MMS?

Any tips for using wireless tethering on this ROM? I couldn't find it in Settings so I'm using an app but it unusably slow. Has the stock menu option been removed? I don't see USB tethering either.
Also, is there a way to get Swype back? Maybe this method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-841603.html

Thanks, I'll check it out. I went back to super clean for the time being, as I also couldn't find any way to access my phone from my windows pc with cyanogenmod - I guess you need a separate app for that too? I will have to do some more research before using that rom. Can't wait, it is by far the easiest on the eyes.

Why don't you just put your contacts on your Google account?
thats the best way to save contacts cause then it auto syncs back to the phone on any rom
In hindsight ... it would have been the wiser choice.

And you all thought it wasn't gonna happen... ;-)
Stay tuned, Alpha release within 24 hours.
Samsung Epic 4G [SPH-D700] GRI22 Android 2.3.4 (Sprint Nexus S 4G Port)
VOIP / SIP / GTalk / Google Voice - Outbound and inbound internet calling
PROJECT FOCUS:
1. Deep integration between carrier(Sprint) and Google Voice for free voice calling, without using any of your mobile device's minutes with IP & VOIP integration to GV. Outbound & Inbound calls purely through Google Voice / GTalk using IP or SIP protocol. Also unlimited video calling, SMS, chat, etc...
2. Extend device beyond manufacturer & carrier's service level agreement, allowing the Samsung Epic to be a top player for time to come
3. Provide a base AOSP platform for CDMA Galaxy S & Future Samsung mobile devices
4. Give me another challenge I guess?
5. Give users the ability to flash directly to the boot, sbl, kernel, recovery, cache, and data partitions without odin or heimdall using flash_image and .IMG files instead of .bin, and finally be able to choose more than one file system during flashing, from within a recovery or android itself.
6. SECRET (Soon to be announced)
I want this to be more of a community effort, being that the development for the Epic is seriously lacking, well development. So please, I encourage suggestions and constructive criticism, keep the moronic stuff to a bare minimum if possible.
You don't like it, or have an issue? I don't care. I don't want to hear about it either. Get bent, and go install another theme and call yourself a dev.
First. No 3g?

Screen animations at this point, are pretty much non existent. I'm sorry, but your question falls under the "dumb" category. Why worry about what the screen looks like while turning on or off, when there is a much bigger picture at hand?
I would like to avoid useless posts like the above(no offense) that will do nothing but clutter the thread, and accomplish nothing.

Sarcasm not needed. Please please please please please don't ruin this for us with unneeded comments like that. I swear to god I'll shut down your internet connection.
The screen on question, was in fact, not related to the OP as it wasn't stated as an objective. And I don't care how it was worded, question or not, it was a request, plain and simple. This isn't a space for wondering about features. Its for discussion and discovery as directly related to the OPs objectives. Its what the old XDA used to be, from the archives that I've read.

Welcome back! I'm happy to know that you've fully recovered from that accident and came back with a bang! But here is the real question, does this rom, when its fully working, have to be on 3g in order to make calls? My area has low 3g speeds so I see that as a potential issue if so...

I'll start working on this very soon. Just started my new network engineering job so I don't have as much free time as I had. I'm looking for a good statement for the startup sound. Anyone got one?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I never liked the shutdown sound with the old package and always used the shutdown from ravers bump in the trunk room she said "galaxy system shut Dow n initiated systems offline" or something. Do an inversion like"startup sequence initiated systems online". I also wish the notifications were shorter. Do "incoming text", incoming (whatever)" and do one for a generic/default notification the old one lacked that. Not trying to be picky but you asked for suggestions. Like I said Linda can say whatever she wants

AWESOME!!! I took the ZIP and unzipped it. Then I Replaced the files in my system using the root explorer, with the files in the "Linda.zip" folder, and vioala!!!!
Now, if anyone knows how I can add audio to the boot animation,I have read a ton of posts through searching to no avail let me know...
also this is the voice of the computer "Vicki" from IRobot. How can I get this voice, and manipulate it for a boot animation phrase?
It's called PowerOn.wav . make sure the size its equal to or less than the original and the quality level is exactly the same or it won't work.

Both of them are working with the stock and GB software? Which ROM are you using with GB? What mic was this with, not the built in headset was it? You have to hold the mic away then speak into the back mic to be sure.

So i was looking at the xda wiki for our device and noticed that in the specs that there's an FM tuner in our device but its disabled within the firmware. my 1st question is, is it true we have an FM tuner? and my second question is, if we do truly have an FM tuner that is disabled within the firmware, is there a way we can enable it so we can use it? i mean, if there is a way to enable it, why not use all the features that our phone has?
I think that the chip would have to be connected to the headphone jack so that when you connect your headphones they act as an aerial antenna. At least thats how my old hd2 worked. Im thimking that they left it disabled because they left out that connection. I wish I could say for sure but I'm not opening up my phone to check!
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
Here's a tear down of our device. Looks like the chip that does wifi & bluetooth is also a tuner:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G-Teardown/4977/2
We know the chip is there but if it doesn't connect to the headset jack its useless even with the correct firmware/driver. Imagine your car radio without an antenna... It just wont work. If the connection is there then it could work but just cause you have a fm chip doesnt automatically mean you can tune in. hope this helps.

Actually, I was the one who updated that info on the wiki.
The fm chip is on our phone but it is 'disabled in firmware'. My question... hopefully answered soon... is it disabled in the broadcom firmware or in the bootloader (which initializes all of the hardware... like the bios on a pc... before it hands off to the kernel).

its posable to re enable it in there but it still will not work the physcial connection to the transmiter and the headphone / antennia jack would still need to be birdged.

What about the FM transmitter function of the BCM4329 chip? That sounds like a source for a lot more fun than just having the phone act like a cheap transistor radio.

It is also possible that what they mean by "disabled in the firmware" is the firmware that is loaded for the bcm4329 chip.
we load fw_bcm4329.hcd and a few other 'firmware' binaries. Its possible that these are the firmware fm is disabled in.
