CyanogenMod 6.1.1 is probably your best bet. Everything works on it, including wifi/gps/bluetooth, all that jazz. It's just the stock theme, as you probably know, but there's a nice thing also in the development section called Cyanoginger 1.1 final, should be near the top, it's a gingerbread theme for cm6.1.1. That should do it for her
CyanogenMod 6.1.1 or if she likes sense GratiousSlide 1.0
Or CM7 aka Gingerbread ....Rom is beyond amazing

Since he edited, I'm not sure what the status is on the GPS of the current CM7, but it's not too good for me.
CM6.1.1 is probably where it's at. It served me well
EDIT: Upon closer inspection, I see the GPS stuff should be fixed. I'd still go with the CM6.1.1/Cyanoginger1.1 combo.
GPS works fine with me using CM7 nightly

GPS working fine on CM7 Nightly here as well. Also the BEST battery life I have gotten from any rom in the time I have had this phone.
Id go with cm7. Everything works, its blazing fast, and i think the battery life is slightly better.
Cyanogenmod 7 nightly oc @ 825

I know this thread is a few days old but, here is my take.
I have the Slide and love it. I decided to root so I could have Froyo. Here is what I"ve learned.
If you go with Cyanogen you lose everything that makes the slide sense ui so great. You don't have peep, the weather widget, the awesome htc music app, friend stream, and all the other things that make the slide so awesome. However, you do get much better reception and call quality and much faster download speeds over wifi, edge, and 3g.
If you go with GratiousSlide then you get to keep all the cool htc sense apps with all the sleek looks and functionality but, you end up with the same half baked call quality and reception. Doesn't matter what radio you have your still stuck with the same cell tower reception you had with the stock slide rom. Download speeds are much better than the stock slide rom and, do seem comparable to CM6/7 but, I still think CM is just a bit faster.
Pick your poison.

Cyanogenmod is faster yes, but it has nothing to do with call quality? I had no difference in call quality/reception. There is a difference in download speeds, yes, but that is most likely due to the overall speed of the rom, not reception/radio-related.

Ah you are correct, sorry about that, I should have done more research. I now get the same reception I had with CM6.
On my Slide I had to downgrade the radio to 7.09.35.10
If I use the newest one, 7.15.35.16, I get terrible reception like I did with my stock slide.

Huh, that's odd. That's the second time I've heard that today. It didn't affect mine at all, not only that, but it doubled speeds. But it seems some people are having reception issues.
Cm7 is running great, haven't had any issues at all so far.

sorry everyone I should have posted this sooner. but the past week has been insane. I finally got around to rooting my wife's slide last Thursday I think. I went with cm6 because I didn't want to deal with nightly builds. that would drive my wife crazy if I was upgrading it everyday. told her I would probably upgrade it once a month.
she's been using it since then and is loving the hell out of it. the battery life is insane now. I didn't upgrade the radio, atleast not to my knowledge. anyway the reception seems fine, in fact her phone sports a fat H instead of 3g practically everywhere in dfw. lucky
I so glad she's happy about it and now I don't have to hear about how her phone sucks every day.
thanks for all your input.

Just an FYI, H isn't true HSPA+, more like 3.25G
yeah, cm 6.1.1 and the new radio is going to be the stable - its going to keep her off your back as to why her phone isnt doing this or that

I don't have any lag on my Evo at all, unless my phone doesn't like a particular kernel. When everything is dialed in, it runs smooth and quick, on sense or AOSP. I would tend to think that there is a reason you're getting lag. Can you be more specific? Does everything lag, or is it just certain apps? Have you tried wiping everything and reflashing whatever ROM you're using? Or at least just wiping cache and dalvik cache then trying out a different kernel?
Awhile ago I used to have a samsung galaxy s that I did a lag fix on and it really made fast faster. My phone its pretty fast I was just kinda wondering? I am using Koni Elite 2 and pretty impressed, but MikFroyo is my favorite rom so far. I'm pretty new to this..

Gotchya. I was just looking around a Samsung Fascinate forum the other day, prepping to root my buddies phone. I saw all sorts of strange talk of lag fix, voodoo kernels, Odin's, clockwork red, clockwork blue, clockwork green, D109's and DJ05's, haha. All sorts of stuff that I'm not used to seeing over here on the Evo forum. I felt like a total noob reading through it all at first. Anyways, there's no specific 'lag fix' that I'm aware of for the Evo. Like I said, differnt kernels can drastically affect the way the phone runs. another thing that can sometimes potentially make the phone laggy is the 1.90 pri. Some phones don't like that pri (mine included) and the 1.77 pri works much better. Others report the oppositte. But, basically, you're phone shouldn't really have any lag when everything is working properly, at least in my experience. So if you are getting any drastic lag, I'd try making some changes.
It's not my phone it's me..I'm running out of things to do, and always trying to make fast faster! I just want the page opened and ready before I even hit the button...
Lol...

If you really wasn't to see your phone fly, install CM 6.1.2 along with the 7.6 Snap Turbo kernel. There is a whole thread here to help you out. I get quadrant scores near 2600 with that setup. Only downside, no 4g.
Swyped from my EvO using XDA Premium App
I remember absolutely needing a lag fix on my vibrant, I hated it. I fell the evo is pretty damn fast. That and the gps problem is why I ditched samsung for htc. The samoled screen wasnt nice enough when functionality was ****. Im using azrael 4.0 rom with launcher pro and my evo is pretty zippy
I had the Epic Touch for the last month but after rooting, it gave me instant LoS, the kernel helped but it still was an issue. I ended up going with the EVO 3D but now I really miss the Epic Touch
Before I consider going back, I was wondering for those people who had no LoS issues prior to rooting, only after, did unrooting the phone fix the LoS issue 100%? If it did, I'll just go back to the Epic Touch and hope Samsung/Sprint releases a fix in the near future because this E3D feels just like my Evo 4G... lol
NOTE: This thread is not about debating what causes LoS, from what I've read some people had it before rooting, some after.
Didn't help for me. lost kernel helped though.
I had issues after root using a sourced kernel. I just switch to pulled kernel and have had no more LOS issues and everything seems to be running smooth.
Which pulled kernel?

Try the stock Kernal from Chris.
It completely cured my LOS..
Been 4 days straight not a single Los
What is LoS?
At stock I was getting LOS a lot, I then tried zedo's kernel and was still getting the same amount, now I'm on the LOSKernel (packaged with StarBurst) and I only get them maybe once or so a day, but now they are all ghost LOS for some reason.
LoS Gone after Stock
Never had LoS issues when on stock. Rooted using Zedomax's kernel and Starburst Rom applied led to daily LoS...sometimes even 3-4 times a day. After bringing back to stock, not a single problem. At all.
Calkulin's Rom...
I have tried some ROM with my E4GT.. was almost disappointed, but then Calkulin made me fall inlove with my phone again.. this ROM solved all my issues, the phone is super fast (I know it is also fast without just out of the box, but this is really fast), solve my biggest concern with the phone, that was the battery life, it went from 6-8 hours of moderate use to a full day.. 20h+
It's really awesome!!
Also, no LOS since I flashed this ROM.

Hey guys, a while back i had the epic 4g, and it was the best phone in the world to me. The motorola photon came out and all i saw was dual core! so i jumped off the samsung epic ship and boarded the motorola photon ship......BIG MISTAKE....there wasnt anything i couldnt do with the epic 4g. Between the devs, and learning how to really have some modding fun with the epic, there wasnt really much of a limit on it. Ive been arguing with sprint for 6 months to allow me to upgrade both my lines, and they finally agreed! Ive had so many problems with the motorola photon, and the dev. department can only do so much without an unlocked bootloader...anyway, Im phone shopping now, and i wanna come back to the samsung epic family. I really like the epic touch 4g. Can you please comment on your experience with the phone? Is 4g and GPS working stable on all the roms? Im so eager and excited...I want to wait for the galaxy nexus, but ive got to take advantage of this opportunity while i have the chance, and the galaxy nexus is slightly outa hands reach...I will await your thoughts.....
This phone is awesome I just came from a nexus s and I don't miss it at all! Especially with CM9 the GPS and 4G is awesome where I live!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
everything is working great for me and i also asked about the nexus and generally everyone agreed that it wont really offer much more then the e4gt. i think just a little bigger screen and more internal memory
It's ultimately that YMMV. I heard that the photons have better modems so they can get better signals compared to the epic 4g touch.
However, ROM development has really been kicking off. We have three main AOSP ROMS, CM 9, AOKP, and Codename Android, which are all about to be updated to Android 4.0.4 and able to record video again. All silky smooth. Make sure to not flash or wipe anything if you flash to ICS or you risk bricking.
As far as hardware, you should check if you have LTE where you live if you want to take advantage of it on the Galaxy Nexus.
Here's a thread asking a similar question
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568211
In all honesty, this is the longest I've ever kept a phone and I've had it since it released in September. I love this phone and the devs (and contributors) here at XDA just give me new ways to enjoy my phone and make it work for me.
I'll be eyeing the new HTC and SGS3 (if it ever comes out) but it would take a lot to make me jump ship, and truly, that is saying a lot for me.
@darkfire2024, i must admit, some of my co-workers have the epic touch 4g and when they dont have any bars of service, i usually have full bars. Not that it helps to have full bars, i might beable to make a call, but i definitely dont have any 3g coverage...I live in chicago, im sure it will be months before they release lte over here. I checked that thread. Very useful, thanks for your advice.
I'd like to say this is by the best phone I've ever used. The great thing, as you pointed out, is the active devs here, they are incredible. I recently helped a co-worker with his newest Droid4; get it at least rooted anyways, and I felt even better about my phone. Great thing is you have SO many options to choose from - especially for connectivity! Maybe the EL29 modem works best on your phone and in your neighborhood. Maybe it's the FC07 or FC24 or even one of the EK versions. The point being you can find out! I've been lucky and had progressively better speeds for both 4G and 3G with each version (except one early FC; caused batter drain and got no 4G) Good luck.
Edit: forgot to add that if you do go flashing different modems, make sure to update the PRL and Profile after/between the updates! I keep coming back to the Blazer GB ROM - literally everything works and works great. I've got a couple FC24 builds I'll probably try this weekend. But we'll see. I'm sure the final offical ICS code will drop very soon; then we'll see some great crazy development.
Excellent phone. GB ROMs are perfect. ICS are good, but they do still have some issues.

My thoughts exactly. I have used the nexus in the verizon store and I must say the e4gt runs smoother. Samsung really hit the nail on the head with this phone it is perfect! No lag at all. Watch the video comparing the two by FlossyCarter on youtube you will see what I mean when I say the epic runs better. Like others have said this is the phone that I have owned the longest because with cell phones I am always getting sick of them after a couple weeks (Iphone) this phone has so much dev support and is just so awesome I can see myself holding on to it for another year easily!

right! plus ICS is making it super raw lol. everytime i pick this joint up to use it im still in awe like the first day I got it. Im amazed by how powerful and advanced this thing is. Im totally satisfied with it. Never had a phone this long either, and unless the note comes to sprint, I wont be ditching it anytime soon. Not even for the GNEX which IMO is a downgrade.
the best I always fight w m friend on whos better is iPhone or my epic 4g touch
Et4g + AOSP ICS > gNex ;-)

If I were you I would wait about 2 weeks man! Rumor has it the Galaxy Nexus might be released on sprint April 15. Besides that phone I would just wait for the Galaxy S3 which should be out in the next 6-8 months!
I switch phones quite a bit as well but to be honest with you this phone is the best I've ever owned, and with so much dev support you never get tired of it.
Coming from the HTC Evo 3D I can say this phone blows it out the water. Love my Epic Touch

Just wanted to post a huge thanks on the jelly thunder port. I flashed this morning and have not had any issues that I can recall, or any FC's. Im on Telus, and LTE is working perfect. GPS is also working excellent, it took a little while longer to fix its position initially but it has been great since. I hate cluttering up the dev section. So for anyone wondering about the Jelly Thunder. So far its perfect. Excellent Port.

+1 on this..... This is the smoothest rom I have used to date, the eye candy makes it all the more better. :good: :good:
I agree with you all. The eye candy does make it even nicer that's for sure. The only thing else I would like to see is the stock samsung keyboard or at least get the symbols back.
Wait till this theme im making for this rom is finished..muhahaha

Love the rom. Great work. Im having issues with 4glte. At work I always have 4g lte speeds but with this rom it swiches from 3g to HSPA+ and 4G (When I have 4G it does to to lte speeds).
Is there a setting i can change?
As far as I remember reading it does the switch to conserve battery power. I live in a city and I get lte at work, but not at home. I don't think all towers support lte

Ohhhh weeee! I have only seen awsomeness and giggles when you tinker Wish777. Well except that time the phone became self aware and stalked you for a month. Still awsome! lol
Personally I think Jelly Thunder is the most stable - smoothest - Most complete and themed - simply the best ROM that Note 2 has had to date. In my opinion anyway - I have not seen or used a better rom since I got this phone - and I purchased it on Day 1 of the official release at ATT.
I personally like the ICONS - and as for SPEED - my LTE speeds are just as good with this ROM as they been with any other I have used. I flashed the Note2Core EX kernel - and it seems totally complete. Fast and smooth - Antutu benchmark scores consisttently around 195000. simply awesome.
