Wondering when ACS custom rom will be out. I know its already in testing and @darren said it was looking pretty good which should be obvious since ACS developers do a crazy good job but just hoping to get a little more info on the release i know no eta's are given. MY ET4g is still completely stock waiting for that rom to come out and im rooting it.
Tweet or pm an acs person
They have their own site so maybe you can search there

Thanks for all the input last week guys. My new phone will be arriving tomorrow night! I plan on rooting immediately, what method is the best? Automated? Have there been any Samsung updates that break this method?
As far as modems goes, which one should I flash for the least amount of LoS issues? I've been hearing about two lately.
I plan on flashing cm7, dual booting if that is ready yet (I need gps sometimes). I understand there is a lot if drama recently but I just love cm and hope that he's got dual booting finished.
Lastly, what are these Odin counts that I have read about? Do they keep track of flashes for screwing you out of your warranty should something go wrong? Is there a way to reverse this?
What other roms would you recommend? I understand ics is a ways out.... That will be disappointing because I am rocking a very solid build on my Evo Shift....
I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!
Thanks again

Use sfhub's autoroot for quick and easy rooting. The EK02 OTA update and the EL13 leak have both helped people a lot with LOS issue. Many/most of the custom ROMs are now based off of EL13. All of the custom ROMs are pretty much fine tuned now with most of the good mods. The only thing you may need to add is 4g Hotspots hack

^ sfhub's method.
I wouldn't worry about cm too much. Rumor has it that darchstar is working on cm9 official for us. I owe him a lot got his hero work which got us cm on the Eris.

Oh wow that is good to hear! I used his hero rom back in the day... Also believe he was the first to get Gingerbread running. Had that running for a couple weeks until I "upgraded" to my Shift and was stuck with freakin sense and no permanent root for a few months...
Now that I have ics on my Shift I'll be temporarily stuck on gingerbread... This is truly great news! Darchstar is the man!

Try it stock for a few days just so you can get a feel for it.
This way if you Root it and something doesnt work you will at least know it worked on Stock.
GPS, WiFi, Los are examples.
I am on a stock ROM and my device is working great. No issues.
I got mine a few days before Christmas, and I am loving it. I am coming from the original HTC Evo 4G that I had since it came out. I ran CM on that for nearly the entire time I had that, so I was a little sad to see the E4GT did not have CM support. That being said, I am actually glad it did not have CM support because I have had to learn more about other ROMs, kernels, etc than I had to with CM.
I rooted right out of the box using the auto root method (stickied in the development thread).
I flashed the EL13 modem next and have had no issues.
I am now running Strongsteve's Odexed Blue ROM with the Rogue Desperado kernel v1.3.0.
I would post links, but I am not allowed to yet since my post count is so low.
To me, the phone is a lot snappier than my Evo 4G, and I have been generally pleased with it so far.
Awesome thanks for the info. I plan to run stock for a few days... It should be arriving over the next couple of hours. None of the Samsung updates break root right? I want to update it asap but don't want to lose access to root

Im knew to the whole Samsung galaxy s thing but I'm pretty sure I will get the hang of it specially with the Odin thing but my question is what's a good stable ROM with no bugs decent battery life and no lag? I wanna start this experience off right!!

Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.

Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].
Working for sprint doesn't mean you know shiz, people brick only if they don't follow directions

Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.
Alright fellas come on now this how you show a new guy what the epic touch family is about lol naw but seriously I understand where you both are coming from and I've seen product around here a lot so I know he wouldn't steer me wrong but I see where yall coming from and thanks

Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.

I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.

Also to the OP, try out Blu Kuban if you're still looking for a good ROM.
The title sys it. I was curious if they had said anything in regards of a patch or fix for the Ics ota update. I went stock ota for a few days and went to sprint to see what they would say. The tech handed me the phone back and said root it.

not entirely sure what is wrong with the new OTA but I have also have problems with the new update and when I took it to sprint, the tech said the same thing "you should root it". I told them I should but it's not my fault of hardware or software issues and after some talk (I know the guys at the store), they helped me get a replacement. Hopefully the replacement doesn't have any problems too.

I haven't heard of any of the other SGSII phones having issues.. Only sprint.... Seriously, I hope they are working on fixing everything and releasing a jeallybean update.. Cuase for them to push out a buggy 2 month old FF18 as the final product is pretty sad.

The story is coming from Samsung directly. You think sprint is going quick to get jb out to us when we were the last to get ics? I'll be very surprised if they update us at all.
Sent from behind you.
a fix for what? If you don't like the ota run one of the fine, bug free ff18 based roms like blue kuban or goodness. Try cm9 or aokp you don't like those. The only reason you have a "buggy" ics build is because you choose to. That said we didn't see all of these complaints when people were running the ff18 leak, the only thing that has changed is the people running it... furthermore why are you posting on xda asking for a patch? Go to sprint users or sprint forums if that's all you're concerned with and want to complain, they'll listen to you there, I thought this was the place where we solved our own problems... not that I think there's anything wrong with ff18.... now flame away instead of spending the time to search and figure out why you're having the issues you're having when plenty of people are running ff18/ff18 based builds without difficulty or issue

I've ran all ics ROMs my phone just don't get the bandwidth with any of the modems released. I went to ota so I could see if they had an answer for why I got **** download and upload speeds. I can't go in there rocking rujs blu Kuban saying hey my phone won't get a signal anywhere here's my phone and fix it. I miss the roms but I can't get any signal I tried different kernels modems scripts and even garbage off of the app market to improve my signal. Sprint is well aware of it. I posted on xda because people seen to get answers and everything else before people find out. Im not asking a question for devs to fix it im asking the community in the xda q&a section. And it's for our phone correct? So that's why im in the xda forum asking the question.

Yea on my phone ASOP speeds are like like .20mbps on 4g ( not kidding), while on TW its atleast 2mbps on 4g. No real way to fix it that I found after alot of searching. But I heard it depends on your phone, some people say they get same speeds on TW and ASOP. My brother has Dirty Unicorn on his phone and has the same speed that I have on Project X. We are just unlucky
I ended up flashing fi03 and its doing awesome now I'll post a speed test soon thanks for the reply

You are always going to have better data speeds on tw than on aosp...When Im on tw I run the stock kernel that matches up with the rom and modem Im running..So I get my data back to what it was when I was stock...But you don't have the kernel option on aosp..I have seen many people say this modem works and that ones better, but really you just have to find which one works best for you're area...FL24 works best for me..but Im in chicago,so the towers are updated more often..
