There really are a lot of good ones. I'm using Miui with godmode kernel at the moment and loving it. Not the most stable Rom out, but it's getting better, especially with the new update .24. Customizing your phone is super easy with the theme manager built in. I also like MikG, Cm7, Gingerbread and Myns

This would absolutely be a question that should be asked in the thread for this rom. Not only should it go in that thread anyway, but if you actually read the first post for that thread, I guarantee you the latest version is listed there, no need to ask.

couldnt have said it better myself!
OP....here's the link to the thread: [ROM](6-26-11) SNS Gingerbread v1.2, OTA 4.24 Sense, Actually looks like gingerbread! - xda-developers
unfortunately i am not able to reply to that thread, and also it says v 1.2 for that rom, but on the updated rom that i have it's v 1.4, hence the confusion.
you're using the froyo version....the link i gave is the Gingerbread version. use that one..its up to 1.3 now
The latest stable cyanogen m7 rom runs great on my evo, no issues.
Lately, the word sexy is becoming an annoyance to me when used to describe anything that doesn't have half naked girls in it....

Ok, thanks for contributing nothing to this thread, since it's about Smooth and Sexy, NOT cm7
so does anyone have any idea
ive seen Urban Decay and Random ROM 2.3 HAWK
and im wonder which is better of the 2 and is there a ROM that you consider better than those 2 please let me know
THANKS
Well, every ROM runs a little different on each of our Epics. If you want a good Gingerbread leak ROM, use one that has either Deca's or Crawrj's newly DeOdexed stock ROM as its base. Be kind guys, he only has 19 posts.

If he's ok with Froyo, SRF 1.2 is fast and stable. Just remember to flash a kernel and journaling on.

Yeah, SRF 1.2 is a great option if you want a ROM that is fast, stable, and everything works.

Just remember that EVERY phone is different so asking "what is the best ROM" is relative only to that user's experience. Some phones seem to not like custom ROMs at all and sometimes it is the user and then they complain about their problems. The easy answer is read up on the positives and negatives of a few and try one. The best thing is that there is tons of good people here willing to help if you run into trouble or a few Force Closes.

be sure to let your bro know that this phone is somewhat experimental. a lot of stuff needs to be fixed. honestly as of late, RandomKing's rom is awesome. ACS' are great too.
whatever rom you get make sure to use these patches/tweaks/fixes if they don't have em already:
theimpaler747's keyboard patch
qbking77's guide to modems
chris41g's rotation-lag fix

Good suggestions but just to clarify, you can't use TheImpaler's keyboard patch on Gingerbread ROMs like Random Hawk. The keyboard fix will come when the official comes out and we get source. Most of the Froyo EC05 ROMs have it baked in though

AHH forgot about that. thanks a lot for that clarification. At least from that provided link, OP can install the speed demon one because from what i remember, EC05 ROMs come with the default keyboard patch in them. At least it'll help him out in that sense? As far as the rotation lag fix goes, i know that Random Hawk has it already, but for some people it doesn't work, same with ERA's rom.
I really like the RandomKing HAWK so far.
I am pretty new to ROMS and really like this one.. not close to the highest quadrant scores, but feels the fastest and most stable to me.
I have ran EB13 VIPER 5.0, EC05 ACS Frozen 1.2 and now the RandomKing HAWK v.2.
Right now I have RandomKing with his included Chris14g kernel, EG22 modem, Supercharged v6 script, option 9, CPU is overclocked to 1.2Ghz, journaling is turned off.
Only had it a couple days, so we will see.

good setup, but if you're worried about quadrant scores, the highest for me was actually computerkid's rom. that little jerk man, he's amazing. his roms are awesome.
ReVolted ROM "fat free" with the built in ReVolted kernel flies.

I have to agree with you there. If Quadrant benchmarks are your thing, Urban Decay flies.I get 3200+ marks at 1.2 with Tegrak. On Froyo..what Zander said. ERA ReVolt Revolution yields the highest Smartbench scores on a consistent basis. Its the only ROM other than Urban Regen that gives me 1600+ CPU marks and it does almost every time. It is fast!

+1 To SRF 1.2
I tried tons of roms.. always come back to this one.
ROM Ho
Once I started flashing I just couldn't stop...I did learn that after 20 flashes, the Amazon App Market stops letting you log in because each time you flash it captures it as a new device in your profile. To fix that just log into Amazon and delete the old/invalid entries.
Here are the ROMS I have had the privilege to try:
SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1
Urban Regeneration
Swiss Cheese Samsprint
EF02 Leak (stockish)
EG22 Leak (stockish)
Urban Inception
midNIGHT ROM
ACS Go Green
ERA Olympus (artist formermly know as Unamed)
ERA EpicuReAn SCrAMbLED EGgs22
RandomROM Hawk v2
Many people have already stated this, but it is really about personal preference as far as what will work best for you. There have been some ROMS that just did not play nice with my phone, but I am sure this is a phone by phone thing as well. My favorites by far are CK's Urban series and the RandomROM Hawk. I have ran with Hawk the longest (previously Osprey) and I have loved it. Although, I still miss my sexy Urban ROM at times. What it boiled down to for me was saving battery and RandomROM excels at this. Being unable to post on the development board, I do want to thank all of the devs who invest their personal time (especially those that don't even own an Epic anymore or work for the competition) to make our phones kick a$$. Thank You All!
I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:
Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah
Fast: Better performance then the original ROM
Good battery life: This is a MUST
Clean: No crapware preinstalled
And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...
Thanks guys
For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.

Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.
Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.
So i need something stable.
Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.

You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM
I'll have to give it a try then.
Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0
This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.

While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.

Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.
Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..
SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.
You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...

I have noticed that too, I kinda like the GB ones my self...more stable at the moment, I think anyway...
I'm still running Caulk's EL29. I see way too many issues with the ICS leaks.
I don't want to have to put up with force closes, loss of notification sounds, bad battery life, loss of the ability to move apps to the SD, or any of the other seemingly random bugs that may or may not plague me depending on the phase of the moon or if I had the right amount of toadstool and eye of newt ready when I flashed.

I agree, I don't think we should be wasting our time on ICS until it becomes a final product. I have been tempted to go to another phone because of the lack of development. I personally like running Blazer ROM 4.0, really good ROM.
re
I perfer GB roms more as well. And agree with finding them more stable and better GUI interface. Still running Caulk's EL29 as well. no problems at all with it. But could someone help me with a Kernel issue of trying to find the right kernel that supports BLN?? please and thankyou.
I prefer gb as far as reliability but like the look n feel of ics... Didnt realize gb roms would come to such a halt...

re
I like the blueish look of ICS and the icons but not the feel for the simpleness look of it.. woulda expected a bit more for a vast or anxious release that many people want. some of the added features are interesting as well but should be hard to implement them for GB as well..
Well, here goes my first post.....
I took the plunge tonight. Went from from stock rooted el29 to sfhub's stock rooted fc22.
It seemed a little unstable for me so oc rooted back to el29, installed cwm and used my nandroid backup to restore all my settings.
All in all, it was a good exercise to see all the capabilities of ICS, but i am going to stick with GB until the official roll out.
I am pretty amazed with the development community here!
eric
I've tried just about every leaked ICS build and currently am running sfhub's one-click FC22 but EL29 remains my go-back-to build for guaranteed stability.
I've stopped installing all my apps, mostly because I'm unsure of restoring apps within new builds, so it makes it easier for me to play around with the leaks and learn something new.
Stick with gb. Ics is not a daily drive in my opinion. I have tried them all. Calks el29 is by far the best rom for this phone at the moment.

What exactly are you wanting them to update? I only run calks builds but I assume nobody left a half finished project out there except maybe cm7 lol. ICS will be final very soon and everyone will forget about GB.

Everyone has to realize that many of the developers have taken the Gingerbread Roms just about as far as they can.
Also, they're releasing these ICS builds so that they (and we) can learn more about ICS so when the finalized product does arrive from Samsung we'll all be better prepared. They will have a better handle on it from a programming perspective and the end users will already have a better idea on how to handle certain problems as they arise.
Edit: I'm running Calkulin's GB Rom btw
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.

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
