What would you like to see MIUI or CM on the E4GT

Which would you like to see come to the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch!!
I personally would love to see both due to i like the customize look you can do with MIUI and then i like the features CM has to offer more than MIUI.

well since MIUI uses the cyanogenmod kernel, i think it would be proper for MIUI to come after CM7.

ICS (Android 4.0) would be CM9...CM8 is/would have been Honeycomb. I hear there are some HC "CM8" hacks out there, I don't know how official they are.....

Apparently CM8 was honeycomb (which obviously never had the source code released) so people are saying they'll skip to CM9.

I'm really missing the long press back button to kill the current app. I also miss having a choice of power apps in the notification bar?

I want the advanced power menu with download mode and reboot to recovery. the 10 status bar buttons. like unamed rom for att galaxy 2. cm7 of course then miui.

I like both of them. However, I'm still running stock rom. I think the stock rom is ok for me except the tether.

I like what we have and the Devs we have, I never was a fan of miui but cm7is nice. When it comes I will try it I dknt mind waiting.

Leaked SGS2 early ICS build!

Edit: DONT FLASH THIS LEAK!
Wasn't made for the epic touch and a few have tried to flash but now their computers fail to recognize the device and are unable to revert back. Just a warning.
Hey guys. Forgive me if this has already been posted but I didn't see it in a search. Looks like the leaked early build of ICS has been leaked now. They say SMS, calling, internet and more work. Hope this can help our developers out!

I would not get too upset. The fact that an ICS base is out there even with TW on it means that it will be easier for the devs to create a version without it

Looks just like GB. Fail... I'll just wait for the build theyre working on here in forums.

I think there should be an insanity wolf meme in reference to this.

Actually we will be able to port this as it has all the drivers then remove TW. Use your brains lol this is GREAT!

One of the main reasons of me wanting ICS is for that REGULAR ICS THEME AND DESIGN.
WHY WOULD I WANT TOUCHWIZ

I gotta get in. I know I'm not the norm but I kinda like TW. Ok now ya can start the fires. Let the flaming begin.LOL.

ICS 4.0 within Touchwiz
For the many who say they don't like 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich integrated with Touch Wiz on an Galaxy s 2 or other Galaxy s phones, you have to understand that it's a touchwiz phone which customers purchased stock.. therefor, why would samsung completely wipe touchwiz from the phone and only have stock android 4.0? what about the hundreds of thousands who probably like touchwiz and spent their good money just for that purpose? Just wipe it away from them without a choice? Come on, think people.
Now, if people want stock Ice Cream Sandwhich, clearly you'd purchase the galaxy Nexus on verizon or the international version or wait until a developer adjusts an ICS build which is mostly stock.
I mean, is the logic here incorrect?

Exactly touch wiz looks dumb retarded. Why would someone prefer that over the stock interface. And the pull down bar as well is completely ugly with ics. It reminds me too much of gingerbread and honestly I've had About too much ginger to digest smoothly ics just goes down so nice.

You say wait to buy or buy another phone. But you have to think of real life scenarios just like you mentioned in. Real life scenario not everyone have the bread to go waste like that just buying up phone after phone whenever they don't like something about it. Like really son if that was the case then who wouldn't have a galaxy nexus pre ordered off Verizon or something.

I like touchwiz on my Epic 4G Touch but I like the vanilla look of ICS better (getting the galaxy nexus tomorrow)
For the record, I like touchwiz more than any other UI, even Sense, and I've had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.

How are the ROMs? Please.

I thinking about getting this phone. But would like to hear your opinions

No cyanogen of any variety... YET. It is definitely in the works. Also should be getting ICS at some point according to Samsung.
That said, this phone is awesome even running stock Gingerbread. It is incredibly fast, the screen is amazing and I think it is far and away the best android phone you can get on Sprint. It even gives the Verizon Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. I came from the Epic 4G and have not had a moments regret.

CM9 isn't out at all yet for our phone, but there is a WORKING CM7 Kang for our phone, which has very few bugs left to work out. It'll be picked up for nightlies soon enough, then CM9 work will begin.
An ICS leak came out today that works with our phone, but no data/wifi/phone calls/etc... because of the kernel. Probably a little while out on this one, but it's coming for sure. Sprint and Samsung have already confirmed this phone WILL get ICS.
As of now, Blazer ROM is the absolute best in my opinion. Been running it since version 1.2 and it's now on 3.4. It's updated consistently, "blaz"ingly smooth & the creator PhantomHacker is a very active member in our community.
^ Plus ICS theme & a few others

So is touch wiz an unforgiving whore or is it easy to get rid of?
I heard that you can't make kernels with out source. Are the ics or gb source out?

Aside from very minor cosmetic tweaks to the framework the vast majority of what is known as 'touchwiz' can be gotten around by installing an alternate launcher...once rooted you can just delete the apk and be done with the mess.
After coming from HTC devices I mortally feared the fail that was TW. Come to find out that this version of TW is actually pretty goddamned good. It's not thrilling, it doesn't scale with screen density changes and the aesthetic choices leave much to be desired (ugly garish icons, page-dots, app drawer button at the right side and seems unmovable). But it's not much more intrusive than a launcher and some native launcher widgets.....and is seriously extremely smooth as hell though and worth consideration--and I love ADWex and LP.
Source has been released for both...it's all in progress. The CM7 kang is my daily driver (and hauls ass) and last I heard agrabren was going to be working with the CM7 kang developer on CM9.
...and so far as not being able to make a kernel without source, umm, perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but, I didn't know there was any other way to make a kernel.

I like Touchwiz 4.0. Very well thought out. I definitely like it over vanilla and Sense.
It's simple, like vanilla, it's buttery smooth (gpu accelerated), and it has extra neat little things like notifications on lockscreen, swiping left/right (message/call default) in Contacts. Etc...

I also like TW4.0, its actually nice. There's a good selection of ROM's available, and definitely potential in the works, just takes time. We have some great developers doing awesome things.

roms are great and getting better, meaning more roms keep coming

Yea I agree, I do prefer stock JB, but the current AOKP or CM builds just aren't stable enough for me. Touchwiz is perfectly fine though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

wow.. i cant wait till there is a test version of this rom available for the masses. Im constantly going back between CM10 and Diet ICS/kyanROm. I simply dont have good battery life with ICS roms, but with CM10, its a day and night difference in terms of battery consumption. Only downside to Cm10 is that there is no access to netflix just yet.
But Cm10 is a work in progress (WIP), so it will get better, as it already has, in due time.

still prefer the pure bean!

Same here. I used to hate TouchWiz, but the one on SGS3 is pretty bearable and very smooth.

If someone can just port the camera app onto CM10, it will be golden.

Who would like to see AOSP rom's developed?

I know for most the loss of s-pen defeats the purpose of the N2. But the 5.5 RGB, quadcore, would be great for something like CM10 just stock google 4.1.2 . Anyone else agree? Think it would ever happen?

Nope, cause if you're like me, you might care more about the larger screen than the S-Pen. I hardly use it at all, and I'm dying to have the option of using CM10. I really hope it'll happen!! There's a HUGE difference between the stock Samsung rom and AOSP, much more noticeable smoothness. Plus it just looks better imo; I can't stand Samsung's color scheme and design, it's quickly becoming a relic to me..

One of the nice things about rooting, is that you don't have to keep touchwiz.
Here's a nice tutorial I used to really make my device different while keeping the pen functionality.
Youtube Tutorial
I mean, I understand the idea behind AOSP, but a simple theme can be had without switching too much.
I'm guessing for you (and me fwiw), an AOSP +spen variant would be the best. Maybe you could isolate some of the more important pieces of stock sammy, and install them after AOSP.
Which is a good reason for wanting an AOSP.

I am finding swype with the s-pen almost better than two handed typing. Screen size aside, from a productivity standpoint, the s-pen > current AOSP anything.

I tried cm10 from the international version, it was cool. Of course I didn't have signal, but it everything was pretty fast.

Once I get my another laptop. (Hopefully a week) I can start building a device tree for our device phone. Then I will compile you guys a aosp from CM10 sources. I won't be using it myself tho as s daily driver and I do agree thats its pointless to have.
It won't be official because im not a part of the CM Mod team but it will be the same rom.

Thats because of the radio interface layer needs to be decompiled and edited. The htc thunder bolt was the first lte phone and any rom other then stock would not have signal becsuse of said ril files. Of course by now someone figured out how to edit this ril files. I believe I can use the knowledge I learned from editing the TB's ril fil to get CM10 working here.

I'm itching for an AOSP ROM like AOKP. I just really love the look of AOSP and Holo. I believe the best solution to the problem to find some way to automate the porting of N7100 ROMs to N7105s like TMobile/AT&T versions.

id love to see parandroid on the note 2 i havent tried it out yet but from the screenshots and reviews it seems amazing, also the omega rom has top benchmarks on the international version forum so id like to see that too

if you can get multi-window into AOSP I'm all for it. I don't use the pen that much but I love multi-window.

Agreed. .. They have had that for quite a while now. I could live without the spen but it is growing on me. (One of the reasons I got this phone over the nexus 4.)
