Develop Bugs

preferred rom?

What is the preffered rom for Epic?
viperrom seems to be good and bonsai4all too. I'm saying this based on the replies those threads got
i just asked this question on the development and got a new ahole torn, so I'm bringing my question here
thanks
I'm looking for a rom that is stable, fast and has a good gps fix
ease of install would be nice too that viperrom looks scary to install. why the hell do I need SDK? why no just basic update.zip to install the damn rom?

hi again, in my opinion they are both good, and so are the other 2.2 roms. im using bonsai for now, and im happy. hope this helps

I have tried several and my son is currently running Viper. All are fine, but I am currently running Nebula and find it is the smoothest and quickest on my phone. GPS seems to vary by phone. I recommend you dive in and keep flashing until you find one you like as it seems a ROM that runs flawless on one Epic, may not be so great on another.

I 2nd this. Viper is too much of a dark theme for my taste. I like Mammons Bonsai alot. I would go Novas rom as my second pick.

I wish rom manager was supported well on this phone. I miss that on the droid. it was so easy to switch around roms. I could just download it straight to the phone and jump around roms.
I just installed bonsai4all, we'll see how well it works for now. it's on 1st boot, so just waiting for it to fire up, then I'm gonna play around with it.
that viperrom looks very confusing to install!
ahhh!!!!! I don't have a radio connection. was I supposed to install some new radio related items!?

Bounced between most of 'em once 2.2 hit and were all good. Cycled through and thoroughly enjoyed several versions of Quantum Rom, but have setteled on Nebula Rom.... which is uber and the way to go imo.

Follow my guide for odining froyo. When you flash roms you need the dk28 modem wich you get if you odin froyo.

Yeah I did Odin and got iT working til I messed something up and now I'm stuck at the samsung window.
I'm gonna try nebula... My phone and bonsai didn't get along

I recommend bonsai4all with ext4 and no journaling. I generally pull ny phone off the charger at 7am and use it moderately and when I go to bed at 11 I'm rarely below 40%. Also in terms of performance my quadrant score is in my sig and its in the midrange of the spectrum for people running my setup.

What's the best 2.3 Rom???

I want to try one of the 2.3 Roms based off of the leaks but I wanted to check with you guys and see what's the best Rom?

Well, there's no perfect answer to this question. The best 2.3 ROM is the one that works best on your phone. Every ROM performs just a bit differently on each person's phone. Apps added and other changes made can also effect this. Our Epics can be like a second girlfriend...one minute giving you all kinds of love and happiness and the next minute can be a real pain in the ass...wait maybe I need a new girlfriend!

HA! Perfect description John.
To the OP there are several good ROMs like Bamboozle, Bonsai, Scrambled Eggs...back up your phone and start flashing. I went to GB and never looked back.

Yup, its all about trial and error. I can't tell you how many times I have tried a ROM and its worked perfect only for other users to report constant force closes. When you do find the ROMs that work perfect you will be a very happy camper. It pains me to run a stock setup now.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

CM7.
jk. But I'd check out acs bamboozled...best gb rom I've used so far.

I've tried two (or three) 2.3 based roms and there has been a couple of things that have always caused me to go back to SRF 1.2:
No custom kernels = no overclock - I'm not a huge overclocking type of guy, but I always like to have it clocked at 1.12 or 1.2 ghz, just enough to keep it smooth but not high enough to run it hot or drain my battery.
No custom kernels = Cannot use Galaxy Tuner - I use Google Music as my primary source of car music, which means I needed to find an external app to use as an equalizer. Voodoo sound didn't work and Tuner froze on me every time I tried to use it.
Still Very buggy - I've run into a few bugs that have always irritated me, no matter how small they were. Whether it's something that freezes my phone or just kills the frame rate, I've just always been bugged (get it?) by bugs.
But where there is bad things, there have been a lot of good things that I absolutely loved about 2.3, almost enough to stay with it:
Live Backgrounds - For me, they've seem to have gotten better (stock ones anyways) and, as far as I could tell, they don't murder my battery or frame rate. The one I loved the most was this awesome looking clock that was a bunch of circles. It's hard to explain...
Screen off Animation - More eye candy, but awesome eye candy. Not much to say other then I love watching my phone turn off
Everything just seemed so smooth - Scrolling, opening apps up, etc, just seemed so fluid and clean, even if the frame rate was dropping for some reasons.
------
Those are some of my personal pro's and con's on deciding whether to run 2.3 at this time or not. For me, the con's on top were more important then the pro's on the bottom. Needs are different for each person so I'm sticking with 2.2 for now until either the official release of 2.3 is out or we can start adding kernels and themes (etc etc).

You know there can be no custom kernels until source code is released. But as for overclocking, many have had success with Tegrak from the market that has allowed overclocking on the GB leaked ROMS.

Yea, I'm slowly learning all that, I just didn't know at the time. As for Tegrak, I heard it's a major drain on the battery for some reason, but maybe results vary from user to user. Overclocking wasn't a huge concern for me, it was the other two on there that kind of got to me. I'm still happy with 2.2 so that's why I've decided to wait it out

Install acs updater and try them all
Its in the market
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

hmm i never tried compkid's regeneration or inception roms. How are they?
as for the topic we are on now, i left acs1.2 the day eg22 came out and yeah al though for some things i would love to go back to acs1.2 but the scale is heavier for me on the gb side.
I used go green, team era's scrambled eggs and tried all the randomrom 2.3 versions (eagle, egret, osprey). The most stable rom for me is randomrom osprey. It is fast enough, great on battery and everything works well with it (other lauchers, apps, etc). As for scrambled eggs, man i loved how snappy that rom was. It was extremely quick upon the click but unfortunately it wasnt working that good with a few launcher and apps and way too many force closes but still fast. Even though i feel scrambled eggs was snappier than osprey, i did receive much higher quadrant scores with osprey (not that quadrant actally matters to me, just for the sake of seeing the scores).
GoGreen was meh for me and i am definitely anticipating an update for scrambled eggs..

I first went with Bamboozle, and it was good. Then one day there are 3 EG22 Roms here it seemed.
So I tried RandomRom and I was having an awful time after 2 days with FC's and reboots.
I then loaded Scrabmled Eggs yesterday and I have been clean (other than google Nav). I am checking battery life now, but I am doing better now than I was with RandomRom. I have to think I was doing something wrong with RandomRom cuz my battery life was terrible and the FC's. I did the same thing each time I installed them, but as said before, each phone is different.
Good luck!

Curious, how did you go about flashing RandomROM? It was the first EG22 rom i tried when it initially came out and all the updates since have worked flawlessly for me.
Sent from my superEPIC 4G using XDA Premium App

I was running the scrambled eg22v4, just installed v7 this morning and so far it seems a little better. Only complaint is my battery seems to be going down a little faster, but it could be cuz I've been messing with loading stuff and resetting everything up. I'll give more feedback when I've had it a few days. ACS Go Green wasn't bad either.

[Q] Sorry that I gotta ask but...

... which is the most stable ROM out there for this phone. This is my first time on the SGSII forum. My wife and I own Vibrants at the moment fully rooted running 2.2 Bionix 1.3.1 with the Bali 1.8.8 kernel (for those who might know that setup) and yes it is a old ROM but its straight from the source so it is 99% percent stable (Battery & GPS). We are going to upgrade to SGSIIs very soon and I don't want stock on either phone. YES I apologize for not taking my time to do my homework but I would like to install a KNOWN stable ROM right off the bat on my wife's phone cuz I don't want to hear her complaining that this **** don't work or this other **** is buggy...you guys get my point? I'm gonna experiment with mine but hers I just wanna flash one ROM that is gonna be good from the get-go so she could start using it right away.
...again I'm sorry for the "best ROM out there" question (which I myself hate) and THX ahead.

Never had any issues with juggernaut, no fcs or anything. Lots of nice themes for it too. As for kernels, the new darkside has been the best for me.

I love dewizzed, just an amazing ROM. It also includes customizable boot animation.
Sent From My Herculean Wizard

A similar thread is also going on which ROM, but you qualified it by mentioning your Vibrant setup. My wife also upgraded from a Vibrant running the same Bionix/Bali combo so I know what you mean by stability as well as performance. Luckily you have several choices as noted above but I've settled on Dewizzed as my main choice: based on stock, extremely stable, very fast data speeds, GPS locks in an amazingly short time, great battery life... I also know that the team are working on some exciting things for the next version and am looking forward to seeing what is offered up.

Beastmod 4.2 or Monhk's new rom

You should use Juggernaut, it's a really nice rom- fast and stable.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Thx everyone. As always everyone got their favorite that runs great on their phone. Based on these choices Ima read a little further on these ROMs.
... btw guess we upgrading even sooner cuz they stole my 13 y.o. son's phone today and I guess he's gonna get one of these Vibrants.

[Q] What is the best rom to date

Ive been trying out a few roms here and there and when i first got the phone there were only a few now that the SGS2Epic4g is getting more popular i wanted to know users opinion about what they feel the best rom is me personally i prefer odex but i like themes so...there you have it

Not to sound like a prick or anything, but you have to consider that you are posting in a very opinionated forum, with a very broad question. That being said, I also believe everyone is entitled to said opinion SO....
I have to go with Calkulins Rom. I have yet to find a more stable Rom, and I check frequently. Couple that with Overstews ICS theme and you have a match made in Android heaven. Hope this helps.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy S II

Maddoggin's rom is great and very stable. There are a few themes out for it, two of which are linked in the OP for the thread.

However, if you want an overwhelming support for themes then mijjah has you covered with his rom and the themes he ports and improves upon. It's also stable for me though others report issues.

Blazer ROM. No doubt about it.
Have used it since v1.2, and current v3.7 has not disappointed me at all.

Caulks, 80% of roms are based on his.

I am currently on Blazer Rom, HAven't tried any others but love the ics look

Calkulin's rom is the base for so many other roms. Calkulins all the way

Seems like this is a pretty common question in the Q & A. And almost always, Calk's is at the top of the list.

If you prefer Odex and don't mind a very blue theme then you certainly want to try StrongSteve's ROM.

I 'm loving the Blazer ROM (ver. 3.7) so far. Stable snappy, great battery life and a cool ICS theme.

I haven't flashed every single rom out there. I was using stock + rooted only for the first few months.. and definitely nothing wrong with that if that's your thing. Just get rid of the bloatware and you should get decent battery life.
Having said that, I'm on BlazerROM 3.7 and my wife is on Calks 2.8.1 ROM. Just flashed both our phones last weekend. We're both happy with them so far and have no problems with GPS issues, hot reboots, freezes, ect. We seem to get about the same battery life too.. maybe my wife's is a little better since she's under volted a bit.
I would say nandroid and flash away until you find something you like. Its not hard to do and flashing doesn't take too long. You'll probably take longer downloading the ROM's themselves.. lol. But for themes, Blend ROM seems to have a lot of support

Can't really say better/best as I've only run 1 rom since about 3 days after I got this phone... calk's. I've since added steadyhawkin's gunslinger kernel, and overstew's ics theme, and have nothing but good to say about any of it. Fast, stable, great battery life, and I love that he keeps the rom pretty close to stock so you can dress it up the way _you_ want (which is helped by the fact it seems most themes/mods support it) or stay with a pretty stock/tw look if that's your thing.
Again, nothing bad to say about other roms, or even to say that this rom is better -- it's just the 1st I tried, and it's done everything I want so I've never felt the need to even try anything else (as of yet -- looking like that *might* be getting close to changing but that's a WHOLE other story ).

I'm using ICS Passion on my vibrant, nice stock 4.0 feel.

I'm going to have to go with Blazer 3.7. I found myself on Calkulin's for a while but I got better battery life with Blazer 3.7. I really like Phamtom's theme work with 3.7. Everything looks nice, runs smooth, and I like the toggle set up more than any other ROM or mod. I haven't quit trying different ROMs, mods, and themes, I just always seem to end up on Stock Blazer 3.7 because it's so "perfect" in my opinion.

Best Battery award I would have to give it to Calkulin's 2.8.1 - The Con is that I was having problems with deep freezes every couple days where I would have to reboot my phone and I would notice a little lag when opening the app drawer for the first few seconds. The freezing was most likely due to the undervolt and Haven't tried the other optional undervolts he has posted yet to remedy the Issue.
Best visuals I would have to give it to StrongSteve's ROM. That blue is straight eye candy!!! The con is that it was giving me worse battery life than I was use to on Calkulin's, but nothing really to complain about honestly. And I like how the keyboards was the swype with the dragon go option by default.
Best Rom so far award goes to Phantom Blazer in my book. This Rom ran the smoothest out of the three for me and battery life is very closely compared to Calkulin's 2.8.1 so far and looks very nice. My only request is that his swype keyboard had dragon go.

I'm a fan of UnNamed Rom.
Stable, fast, and long battery life.

[Q] Best Sense ROM for the lady

My soon to be wife has been having some issues with her trusty Evo 4G, and I've been wanting to root her phone for some time to get her access to wireless tethering.
So I'm wondering, what would you all recommend for a stable/fast Sense ROM that could add some features. She's really comfortable with Sense, so I don't want to switch it up on her too much, but I would like to think she would appreciate some value added features. Was originally thinking Mik's, but I haven't used it in a long time....and the other Sense based ROMs I've used recently have been not as stable as I had hoped.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

No way! Here I was just expecting to get some normal ROM recommendations, and here you go and show me a ROM designed for the ladies?? You rock, thanks, will definitely check this out.

my wife likes tommys classic....when I was on sense I liked mikg3.11, although it did seem to bog down.

I'm a lady using Tommytomatoe's Classic altho a lot of guys like it too. It is beautiful, everything is perfect. Had Mikg before. The classic is smoother and faster.

I don't mean that to come cross as accusatory - just saying my advice would depend on who's really driving this and what problem is really being solved.

My favorites are Nitrous and Classic. For me they're the best performing and most stable.

Tommy's classic rom and the pink theme would be great. As a guy I even liked the pink theme as it was clean and well made.

If a no sense rom is one of your options, then I suggest CM7.
There are a lot of themes available that can be changed to even as per the mood if need be coz its that easy.
CM7 + LunarUI
XDA link for the theme
Or even MIUI ... GB versions for now
.

For Sense, I also prefer Nitrous and Classic. For non-Sense, I use MIUI but I'm still on GB MIUI which has tons of themes (I don't use 4G even though I live in a 4G area).

For a Sense ROM MikG 3.11 is the best hands down. Plenty of themes, GREAT battery life without swapping kernals, fast, no lag and it all just works.
I flash a lot of ROM's but always go back to MikG until something else and beat it.

Not accusatory at all....
She's having issues with MMS send/receive, where it doesn't want to download the image or send the image. This is a new issue that is happening more frequently for some reason.
She's also having an issue where notifications are not disappearing after she views the item...for instance new gmail notification appears, she views the item by clicking on the notification, all mail is read, and notification is still there. She has to either clear it manually or go back into gmail and exit for it to disappear.
I use wireless tether on occasion, and she's jealous of the functionality....so this is her asking for the functionality, not me pushing it on her.
She has the new phone bug, but can't get one until fall. I know how a new ROM can curb this urge, so I figured why not install something that:
a) fixes her issues above
b) makes her phone more responsive w/ better battery life
c) gives her wireless tether
d) gives her the appearance changes to help curb the appetite for a new phone

I think I'm going to have to go with MikG for her. I've had the most experience with it myself, and also seems like the most popular choice by all of your responses.
Thanks everyone for helping me out with this, I had way more response than I anticipated and after I open her up to the world of ROM's maybe I can start steering her more towards an AOSP world so her next phone can be a nexus.

Special thanks to a lady responding to this thread. Makes me a feel a little more comfortable rooting my lady's phone.
I think I need to give Tommy's classic a try as well, seems to be MikG's arch rival in the world of Sense ROM's.

Nitrus and Digital karma... faster and smaller than MikG 3.11

I discovered this ROM too and found it to be snappy and reliable. No random reboots and everything working just great. I went back to Energy ROM with his latest release on the 4th and it is visually the most appealing and at its most stable version. It depends on which sense version you prefer. Sense 1.0 is super stable and sense 3.5 is fancy as hell.
