After months of waiting, code changes, debugging and many experimental builds, the moment you all have been waiting for is finally here. Team Epic and CM are proud to announce CyanogenMod 9 Beta 1 for the Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
Release Notes
Changelog
- A lot has changed since our last release, Alpha 6. Since then, our device has undergone many changes to comply with official CM standards.
- We now share a common kernel and proprietaries with the rest of the gs2 family. This means that anytime our int'l brothers get a kernel update, so do we. This also helps greatly with getting official CM device status.
- Big thanks to UberPinguin for completely rewriting a new RIL for our device. This helps with all things mobile connectivity.
