does anyone care to explain what exactly is CyanogenMod, and why are so many excited over this? thanks

Guys, you're actually way luckier than I am. I can't get cyanogenmod to flash with either Amon Ra or ClockworkMod custom recovery. You guys will probably have more access to Cyanogenmod than I do, lol!

I got it working once, but almost ended up bricking my Evo.

Big Bad Froyo... Great ROMs available for many phones.

Actually, the first post shows it is running. Noobnl got it running. its useless now though. He doesn't even say what works... but considering he just mentions boot, I wouldn't expect much working.

Notice the top menu bar doesn't even go across the entire screen.

its probably just an evo port :/ great progress, but i'll wait for cyans version.

 

[liquidxit2]

By the time this comes out 2.2 will roll out on the epic.

 

[snarf77]

will this incorporate the froyo source code?

To the previous two replies:
CyanogenMod has value after the official 2.2 from Samsung/Sprint is rolled to the Epic. Cyanogen is essentially "AOSP" (Android Open Source Project), meaning it is pure Android without any manufacturer/carrier junk on it. In theory (and usually, in practice), faster, less bloat. Out of the gates, it is customized to what these developer/users like, instead of what the manufacturer/carriers like.

Also, CyanogenMod 6 is based on Android 2.2 "Froyo".

Anybody know what the staus is on this rom? Have it on my hero and so want it on my epic

 

[ragnarokx]

Still in the developmental phase. AFAIK it's only one guy working on it (noobnl), so it's probably a ways off.

 

[jbuggydroid]

Oh ok. Props to noobnl for taking it on by him/herself.
