I was wondering if anyone can help me with picking out a good modem I'm on dk28 right now thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I came from the dk28 build so I may be at your taste level.
The most stable build I am running right now is
the "old Marcusant ICS V4" with ei22 modem and the new samurai 3 kernel.
I added the gps fix and this phone runs awesome.
Better battery life, faster 3g, better bluetooth, gps works, etc.
it's like running the dk28 rom, but faster and better.
The old marcusant ics v4 thread is locked, but if you pm marcusant he may still have the download.

The newest is ussually the best but differs from device to device depending on your location etc. Ei22 is the latest but there are numerous such as ec05 ee03 ef02 eh17 eg22 the list goes on there's a sticky in development for modems to flash

Play with it.
I agree with Biggoron that it does differ from epic to epic, i found that my girlfriend likes the ei22 with legendary's rom.
She says its more to her taste and seems to run better on hers.
I always stick to released modems like EC05 and EI22. They work the best for me. Blew up too many leaked modems.
Was running CM9 alpha 2 on EI22 and the unit wasnt getting very hot, although the battery was draining.
Switched to CM9 Alpha4 and now on EL30 modem and noticing the phone is getting hotter although the battery life is improved... anyone else experiencing anything similar? Should I roll back to EI22 for Alpha4?

Then downgrade your modem to see if you experience the same effect. I don't think a modem will make your device hot. Are you tethering, overclocking the cpu or running graphic intensive apps?
Not tethering... Unfortunately the ei22 modem cannot be odind... I don't think.

That is correct. You have to Odin EC05 then do the flashable delta. Or you can run it with EC05 for a bit. A lot of people still rocking that EC05.

Hmm... I might consider the EC05. But I don't want to mess with deltas on an MTD.

The delta works fine on MTD. You just need the temp BML CWM 5 wtogami put out.

I suspect its actually the rom. I'm running stock el30 bml just rooted. And for the first time my phone is getting hot.
Everything's stable, more colorful, and battery life is definitely better. Ics was fun whole it lasted, but I just realized how good EL29 is, compared to ics (for the tome being).

Don't go you just have to stick with one rom and let it settle.

I've given all ics roms a chance, no disrespect to the devs, they made it a lot more enjoyable. It's just that it's based on unofficial leaks and I'd rather have everything workig rather than finding out what's broke in a situation where i need it.

I find fc22 to be perfect for me ( havnt ran into anything broke, besides setting wallpaper), and I see about a 10% increase in battery life, but I have removed as much as I would in a gb rom. Im happy. And I have done the right tests to make sure my battery life is better...

I am on Agat63 FC22 and the only issue is the notification sound and that is kinda user error. I get about the same battery as I got on phantom blazer el29. Same usage.

Hey Overstew is there a good place to read up on what to change in these roms to get ICS blue? I use to do custom roms on touch pro 2 but that was a lot diffrent.

I flashed about 5 different EL29 roms and haven't flashed ics once.Because i know that ics is nowhere near ready yet and there isn't cwm for it yet.
The whole procedure is tricky(i can do it),flashing cm7 and then ics.And to go back to gb is think Odin i best bet if you don't want a brick.
Once there is stable ics and stable cwm for ics so i can flash different roms(without flashing cm7 first) then i will make that move.But i ditched Sprint and flashed to Virgin Mobile and i don't have warranty anymore to fix Epic if it bricks.
Hey over stew what method did you use to go back?

I did the same thing. I would much rather have full function and stability for now. We will have full source for ICS before too long. Then I will go back.
For all the people switching back, whats your main problem with ics fc22. Because I thought about switching back until I moved to fc22 from fc18.

Battery life in low signal areas. Certain incompatibility in some apps. (words with friends, for example.) And scrolling.
It really depends on ur needs. I agree that the ICS leaks are a lil flaky. I appreciate what the devs have done and all, but now ive moved on to asop cm9. It is ridiculously smooth! And notifications work perfectly. I dont use gps, i rarely use camcorder anyways. Although these deficits are ok with me, others so not much.

Honestly my main reason is due to all the constant updates. I personally tweak each ROM I run as what I want isn't readily available and I can do the work myself to make the build I am after. I get one done and a new one pops out. Which is great and frustrating at the same time. The fact that not everything is out for it either puts a damper on it too. Like a hotspot hack for the latest builds. I don't blame any of the devs for not keeping it updated as once they do update it another build comes out. That is a lot of work. Just moving PNG's around is a ***** much less coding framework files. It is little things that will take source for people smarter then me to fix. As far as issues I really haven't had a lot of them. The battery and scrolling can be aggravating. The notification sounds is a little annoying too but easily dealt with. But mainly I just would rather run a complete build now. Gather my PNG's and such and then once a final build is out. Make the one I have been waiting for.
Anyone still running EL29 stock or rooted instead of the ICS roms / leaks? If so, why?
I did for a day after reverting back from ICS, but it absolutely sucked. Touchwiz is ugly as hell. It's unbelievable how ugly it is. Did I mention it was ugly? I went straight back to blazer after that terrible, terrible day. The battery life was crappy anyways. Never again...

I would suggest going for Calkulins 2.9.2 then. It runs on lightly themed touchwiz. I just absolutely cant stand the pull down notification bar on the stock rom. The reason why I say 2.9.2 is because 3.0 runs on gunslinger which doesn't play well with the stock underclock/undervolt scripts. It's meant to be used with SetCPU. Also 3.0 uses a 4x5 drawer rather than 5x5. 4x5 is retarded in my opinion. I can't stand it.
Well I like the ICS leaks which I''m using now. Only thing that bugs me is the turbo scroll bug and battery life is about 85 percent of what it is on GB but I'm still gonna give it a few days for the kernel to settle.
I came from the og epic and found that extreme overclocking and my inclination to try tweaks and tinker outweighs my desire to run any leaks. Therefore I have stuck with el29 as source is available. Calkulins 2.9.2 with gunslinger is working suitable to me...

You can't brick as long as you don't flash anything with ICS based recovery.. as long as you use EL29/cwr5 kernel for flashing, you can play just like its GB

I find ISC smooth as could be with great battery life. I always use SFHubs odin and stock ICS launcher. I dont restore data and back up with google and have not had a problem. SFHubs self extracting odin has got to be the safest most user friendly way to flash in my opinion.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes, using rooted stock EL29. Reason is that while I love to tinker and geek out, I have been doing that for decades... There comes a point when you just want some stability and choose not to create more work for yourself than what one would classify as fun.
I can't say that the bricking is or is not a concern for me. There are a few bugs that really tick me off at times, don't get me wrong. so if anything would make me consider going to ics leaked roms, it would be another round of media scanning reboots at startup

because i touch myself at night.
I'm running an EL29 based rom. Because GB works. I find these ICS leaks abysmal, no offense to the hard work that the devs do.
I don't care to suffer through crap battery life, glitches, bugs, notifications that don't work, terrible browser experience etc etc.
Until we have an official ICS rom, i'm really not interested anymore in these unfinished leaks.

You hit the nail on the head with exactly the same way I feel. When the official ICS ROM comes out and the devs work their magic on it then I'll move to one.
I live for turbo scroll. Touch Wiz is the biz. Touch Wiz 4.0 is the bomb.

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

I have never had any battery life issues. All my problems revolve around the phone part of my smart phone. I didn't start a thread to cry as as one jerk off suggested, I am having huge problems around ICS that is making my phone worthless. Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal. I wonder.if its related to Sprint.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.
