Hey everyone, I was wondering if sfr 1.3 has come out yet. The latest cm7 build is not quite doing it for me still too many bugs.

A quick browse through Samsung Epic 4G > Epic 4G Android Development will show you that no, it has not come out yet. Well, I'm basing that off the virtual fact that any time a well-known, well-built ROM is released it stays near the top of the Topics in that section.
For future reference, it would probably be quicker to just check the Development section rather than wait for an answer that may or may not come quickly.
As to which ROM to use, I used SRF 1.2 and loved it, but I've switched to CM7 and I am really liking it! I highly recommend you read the CM7 topic by Decad3nce and pay special attention to the buglist and changelog sections near the bottom. If you can live with the relatively minor bugs, it's a very neat ROM.
Did you want Froyo or Gingerbread? Go with Gingerbread. I'm using xBTx's Mostly Stock EI22 rom and its great! I was a longtime sfr user.

Currently on ACS ICS Beta V6 and it's been a good upgrade for me over the past week. Was previously on ACS SRF 1.2, and there is v3.5 right now.
I would suggest that if you want to upgrade right now, but if you want stability, I would give it a while.

stock pics rs are out there, but since the base is unofficial and 'leaked', they are all tweaked a little.
Soon the official pics update will be released and you will be able to just get the ota update.
Also, if you look in the development forum you'll see that there is an alpha release that is there, but it is very raw and in early development.
Hope hat helps,
Sean

Yes we will get stable AOSP 4.0, it's in the works.
you have to remember that all the ICS roms out now are leaks and unoffical releases. Once an offical build hits its a tweak and customize frenzy. Thats when you get somethng stable. these roms are just "test" for a more stable rom. Ive seen android 2.1 go through hundreds of different leaks before a stable build hits
I just can't wait for stock ICS! it was great on my nexus s so I know it gonna be a best on this!
They are still in nightly mode. I would suspect a release candidate by the end of the month, with the ota coming in late April.

Lookin for and app thats similar to the multitask found on AOKP roms. I want it on my cm7. I tried the aokp and it was great but I can't deal with no flash so I went back to cm7 but I'm missing that webos multitask,
Is it possible to add/flash that to cm7 or maybe and app that's similar to it.
Thanks
There's an app I think its called itching thumbs it does the card multitasking.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
what multitask are you referring to that is in the aokp?
The webOS card task switcher is what he's talking about
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
there should be nothing like that. Multitask like that only works on ICS and none of the ICS roms have working flash.
Flash works in 4.0.4 if the roms get upgraded to it for the evo we got it on the et4g in aokp and cm9 and everything works but 4g now on aokp, itching thumbs did the webOS card multitasking but I couldn't find it anywhere its been pulled from the market and couldn't find a link for the apk

Hmm. Itching Thumbs. I got a link to a post, here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17144375&postcount=165
Some people has suggested Wave Launcher which mimics the cards; I haven't used it before though.
Sorry, did understand what u said, so aokp and cm9 have flash FOR EVO, or wich of the roms u mentioned have it.
Any that is Android version 4.0.4 once its merged into the upstream Netflix YouTube and the like will work flawlessly aokp has it merged just don't know if its been compiled for the evo yet I have it downloaded for my et4g gonna be flashing it today, the next release of aokp will have it merged tho just look for build 29 and up to be released for the evo
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thanks, so I guess this multitask is only for aokp and not cm7, u tried the app u guys said but I liked the rom version better.
Gueess ill wait fir aokp 30
Was looking for some pointers on a STABLE ROM
Stability is the number one item of importance, rather than ICS or GB, but ICS is preferred for the camera options..
Currently the ET4G is at the stock OTA ICS build, but it is not even activated at this point.
My Step Daughter is using my EVO 4G, and as I upgraded my GF to the SGS3, I want to drop the EVO and move her to the ET4G.
No real rush, I told her it would be a week or two, I am just looking for a build that is super stable, as I wont get much chance to update and/or modify the build once I get it fully setup and give it to her.
Think I am best off using the rooted version of the Stock ICS FF18 ROM, with a modded kernel and just leaving it at that point?
Sadly, I have spent far to much time in the Epic section for my phone, and haven't had a chance to sort through all the builds here.
No need for extra themes, or fancy mods, just basic ICS will suffice, she couldn't tell the difference anyways.
I tried both Blazer and Calk's GB ROM, but both had stability issues here and there, and I was hoping for some tips to use with a new ICS build, now that the OTA is out.
Any advice for better stability than:
Stock ICS build
CWM recovery
Modded Kernel (AGAT's ?)
and just let it go at that?
Well for ICS I'm running M'ICS 1.1 its very stable. Also using agat 0.2.1 dirty kernel (safe) for extra speed and battery life. As for GB, calkulin or blazer roms are very stable as well. I got good battery life on both. Just make sure you read up and ask questions if you not sure. Happy flashing.

Me personally I'm using the deodexed stock rooted ROM with Agat's safe kernel & Phaker's placebo script, & it's been super smooth for me so far

Thanks for the responses..
I have been leaning towards rooted stock ICS with AGAT's kernel, but figured I would see what flash-a-holics would advise

I love Flashahol! I'm running blazer ics, just came from calkulins 1.6 about a month ago. Both are solid.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
With the issues surrounding ICS, think I am gonna go with a GB ROM..
Torn between Blazer and Calk's... sigh... lol...
I personally liked blazer more that calkulins. But that's just me. Its all up to you. Plus I flashed mysterious beast theme for it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I'm gonna stay away from themes and tweaks, unless I find I got no choice...
Been a big fan of Calk's for a long time, and tried both before my GF got her SGS3, just seemed to have a few more issues with Blazer, but most was with Facebook, and I feel it may have been a FB app issue, and I also think I am gonna stay with the EL29 modem, as the newer ones didnt seem to work as well.
I may just keep both on the internal SD, and create a nand backup of both one I get the the phone fully setup, and let her try both for a week or two and see what works best for her in the Baltimore area.
Yeah the EL29 modern works good for me in the dmv area.. I also been having success with ff18 in dc

Hello there peeps I need some help figuring this out. I I don't own this device I am just updating it for a friend who is stuck on gb.. I flashed a ics rom but it seems to be a Lil buggy even tho its apparently stock.. One of the blazer roms. What I'd like to know is which ics official stock rom should I flash not a custom rom but just pure Samsung stock ics? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dont get ICS. It sucks your better off on GB for this phone. Its all buggy
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
This link is to all stock links. Leaks and officials. You'll get tons of opinions, but i think this its what you asked for. I would recommend Fi03 or Fi25 if your friend is really wanting ics.

I'm running Kobridge's FI25 ROM. It's pretty stock-ish, fluid and overall great. Battery is nice as well. I'd give that a look and try.
Just go to settings and about phone and update firmware or android. The latest official ics build is fh13 so if he is on gb you will have to update to ff18 then fh13 or you can download a one click and use Odin to update. Depends if you want it rooted or not. If he is rooted now and has removed stock apps you will have to use a bone click option or revert back to stock first. You can look up qbking77 on YouTube and every custom rom he pretty much has a video for along with how to get the stock ota updates. To get the stock ics look after updating to the ics build go to Sprint id to change to the stock look or download a launcher like nova launcher or apex or whatever you prefer. If you want a stock ics rom with root you would want an aosp rom like cyanogenmod beta 1. Go to the original development thread.

So even the official builds suck? Wtf lol.. She's a chick so I don't wanna hear botching but GB is just not happening its gotta be ICS. So anybody recommend a stable rom? I25 leak any good?

I had the international s2 before my s3 and ice cream was sweet all day. Sad this phone gets no love
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I have had no issues at all with the ics ota updates but a lot of people have claimed issues. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after the updates and never had issues with battery or blue tooth or whatever else people complain about. I would say let her try ics for a week and see for herself. You can always go back to gb if she doesn't like it. I love cm9 beta 1 I just have some data issues sometimes but it's still being developed so I'm sure the minor issues the rom has are being worked on as we speak. There is also tons of leaks for ics the latest released leak is fi25. And I think it's supposed to be the last leak for ics until jelly bean is leaked.

Dont know what everyone is whining about concerning ICS on our phone. There's a bunch of options now for all tastes. I get a day and a half or more every charge with 3+ hrs screen on time. Every ICS leak/ build has gotten better for a while now.

FH13 which is the latest official works great for me.
Tappin' Typin'
FH13 the best so far.
Check this thread [Oficial OTA Repository] . I post all official OTA links. Download them all in order them copy paste them in SD card. Go to recovery and flash them in the right order.
Note: You must be pure stock and use stock recovery.
Instructions just in case:
1. You don't need to rename zip.
2. Copy to SD Card not Internal.
3. You most be full stock. (no root, no custom kernel etc.) these are official OTA zips directly from Google servers.

Whatdooya mean "no love"?!
I put my woman on FF18 Stock rooted and changed build prop to say its Fi03 to avoid the update nag, added some lite placebo tweaks and she has zero complaints at all.
She actually used 3 times the bandwidth as me last month lmao and her battery is a rock thanks to screenstate, WiFi_idle_ms and a small a sysctl.conf..
No maintenance needed..

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.
I just can't say enough good things about Re-Calked ROM. Battery life and smoothness are top notch and there are tons of mods for theming purposes, including a transparent status bar mod.
Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

Atrue we are a little bit behind and they treat us like step children, I'll give you that.... but have you not met the devs around here?
I think the dev and user support shown in E4gt's slice of paradise far outweighs official support at arms length
( and I've tried three jb builds, all of them daily-able)
I do see your point though.. a little official love couldn't hurt.
What I meant by no love is that ics is something I've been running so smooth since my HTC Sensation. The epic 4G touch has the same processor as the gti9100 yet I feel like sprint or Samsung is holding back. All the s2s I see are on gingerbread with people complaining about bugs and issues in official builds I find that unacceptable. But I don't have this device so idk how bad it is. I had a great ics experience both Sammy and aosp on international s2. The sprint variant seems like a killer device that just needs killer software to go with It.
Ps. thanks for everyone's input.. Putbuee on the latest ics leak odexed version with matching kernel and modem and the phone is flying!

What garwynn says is correct.
My g/f likes to stay on official releases, so she's on FH13. It was a HUGE improvement over the piece of crap that was FF18, so I would recommend that one.
Myself, I'm using stock rooted FI03 with stock FI03 kernel and FI03 modem. I'm pretty happy with this setup, and I probably won't be jumping to another ROM until JB is more stabilized.

Why do people make statements like that? " Huge piece of ..."etc blah..?
I used several ff18 builds with zero issues .. my woman's been on it for 2 months with zero issues as well.
So it was bad how exactly?
Not trying to be an ass . I've just never understood these blanket statements about an entire build being bad vs the possibility of one flash being bad...
Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying i dislike fh or fi builds either... I'm just saying I havent had a major issue with any build since fc27(I think)
I'm using stock rooted FI25 with the Agat 5.4 kernel and the Pegasusq governor. Works great for me! There are a lot of great custom ROMs out with CM9 being one of my favs but the bugs make me stick with stock.
