your talking to a guy who says "no way not now or ever will i root my phone".
that means no custom roms, no themes, no taskbar mods, no nothing.
with out a custom rom, this phone barely even runs live wallpapers.
i think sprint id will be a thrill for him...
2 yes, 2 no. I should add, that it runs just fine on stock rom. I've been on xda long enough to learn tricks to keep it nice. I don't even use live wallpapers, except to make my iphone friends jealous. Anyways, thanks for the input.

For anyone running a modded ROM, Sprint ID is extra trash you don't need as you can get the same thing, and far better done, with Themes and such.
For a stock build, it is not that bad, as long as you pick the clean ID
The other options are just bloatware... rofl...
The only people I have found that like it on sports fanatics and for the ESPN theme. Sprint ID is no more than a stock theme changer which is bloated with running services. For those that want Sprint supported themes...use it. I won't because I can handle my own wallpapers and ringtones and which apps I dl and use.

After using it, i have decided the only use i might possibly have for it, is to switch between Launcher2 and Touchwiz. Its not really that interesting at all.

More sprint garbage adding on the epic, thanks god for custom roms!!!
I'm preparing for a move from the Samsung Galaxy SII to the Epic2 4G touch.
SG2 has been great. Modifications have been crazy easy and plentiful. Samsung upgrades have been readily available.
I know Sprint has been fairly good with upgrades to the Evo3D.
I've heard there have been issues with Modding and upgrades to the Epic.
With Cyanagens alliance with Sammy, I have hope things will move fast with this device.
I really would like input from the Epic forum on your prediction on
1. The likelihood of the Epic II being rooted readily (like within 30days), and 2. the EPICII getting timely upgrades .
Unfortunately, we Epic users mostly feel like the red-headed step child. It may because we have a keyboard and that makes things more difficult to dev and port.
I won't really get into everything, but overall I wouldn't think there will be as much support for the Epic 2 as other dual core phones.
Thanks for the info.

I would disagree. I think the development and support on the Epic Touch will be way better than what we had on the Epic. The Epic suffered because of the keyboard which made porting difficult, also because of it's release time being too close to that of the Evo, yet far enough away where people who got the Evo right away couldn't get the Epic because of the 30day rule. I would never use the smaller size of the Epic community to judge what the Touch community will be like.

I totally agree. Its a huge seller internationally. I was on a thread with 2 million views and over 1400 pages. I think this will be a popular phone. It does come with 2.3.4 stock and an 1800 battery intead of the international's 1650...and a bigger screen. The Epic is kind of a niche phone. There aren't a whole lot of physical keyboard phones anymore. Don't get me wrong...my Epic has been very good to me. I would like to see a developer roll call thread to see what device they planned on getting though

The Bottom line is which phones will the Devs buy and upgrade to? They will develop for the phone they have. Unfortunately they don't have access to all the phones that come out. So the real question needs to be asked of your favorite DEV as to which phone they may upgrade to.

The ET4G will be the EVO of the pair(ET4G and Nexus Prime) people will floc to it since it comes out first.

Im part of era and I'm seriously looking at getting it, as well as a couple other team members. Bot saying we are stopping development here, just that we will expand our phone coverages.

I plan on switching also. But I plan on waiting a month or two to see how it goes instead of jumping on it at release.

I can put the same exact apps on both phones and put my Epic back on stock if anyone wants any battery,/app comparisons or any other kind of testing. I plan on getting it as soon as the store opens on the 16th

As dumb as it sounds, maybe I need some more coffee, but I upgraded my sprint EVO after 2 years to a nice new Galaxy. BUT, I am trying to find the correct subforum for this phone. Sprints site calls it aSamsung Galaxy S™ ll, Epic™ 4G Touch (a mouthful), and the picture looks the same, but I see T-Mobile and ATT with their own galaxy s2 foums and this ONLY says Epic.
So, I am looking for both rooting, ROM's, etc. but want to confirm this is the correct forum, no such thing a dumb question as I would rather ask then brick!
Thanks
This is the right place. Its Sprint variant of the GS2 which they call the Epic 4G Touch.
lol, thanks. ROM playing was horribly addictive with the EVO, and I'm bored now with the stock on the g2. Got the OTA update installed this AM, but now ready to have some fun.
Onto the dev forums
Thanks again!
No problem.
Yeah, sprints naming convention is bizarre

It's a big name for a big phone but yeah, they could have shortened it a bit.
Welcome!
Yup epic is what you got. The as of now hotness.

Cool, thanks again to all and yea, s2, or something, nice and clean!
As for ROM's, I am looking at the main thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268548), so any .02 on what to do 1st?
I know with the EVO, ROM manger was a simple way to go, from there was CWM, but it seems ODIN is the real way here huh!

You chose any kernel that has a cwm and u Odin that kernel
..and boom u have cwm. Next you pick any rom and flash.
Simple as that

So while I just read about this new ROM, and while I also read that it's literally only three weeks old I'm sure not that many people have heard or seen it.It looks pretty cool and while most of the devs have there hands full between ICS , CM9, Miui I don't think anyone could ask for it in the near future.Just figured other people would be interested. Also curious if it would be possible to port it?

I actually Just submitted a thread about this OS. Eh oh well. It would be great to see it make its way to our community
I am currently making an app to become more familiar with Android. Anyone know the best forum to get ideas, help, and constructive criticism?
Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch
Not to sound facetious but I believe you're on it. XDA is as in depth as it gets imo. Any info I've ever thought about or needed has been here and most often given direct guidance by recognized devs. Good idea though, we can never have too many informative apps out there!
Sent from this phone
What you mean informative
I was thinking of making a e4gt ROM app with a compilation of all the current apps, modems, themes, etc. but I dont have the resources to make a online directory so apps can be updated independently from the app
Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch
That would be a pretty handy app. Do you plan on having the latedt roms/themes/kernels downloadable through the app, or is this something more ambitious? Whatever your plan is if its E4GT dev related this is the place to be!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes, it will stay updated with the lastest roms, themes, mods, modems.
It will have a marketesque feel to it
I woul suggest getting something inplace that can be installed and tested and then get a thread going on the dev section. I have no knowledge of android os or any kind of app dev for that matter so i cant give you anything other than that.
