It looks like cynagenmod 9 ics coming to our device too.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update
The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos
Also, if you scroll down and look at the comments:
"The kind folks over at RootzWiki gave us a unit to develop on, stay tuned (but don't hold your breath while you wait)"
after someone asked about Epic 4G Touch.

Heck yeah. I know I did. The more choices the better IMO and having CyanogenMod only opens other doors.

God, I hope we get CM7 during the 7.2 update, I need to be rid of touchwiz already.

I have to agree. I am new to the E4GT but not to modding. I came from the USCC Mesmerize and it had CM7 and a pretty much fully functional ICS ROM. I was so used to AOSP that the thought of Touchwiz made me shiver. I do have to say that the Dev's for this phone have done some amazing things with Touchwiz though. Running Calkulins ROM and am truly amazed at how smooth it is. I would love to see an AOSP selection for this phone. If its anything like the Mesmerize then CM7 would be the logical choice to get working as it would provide the Dev's and solid MTD base to do ICS or CM9 off of. any way just my thoughts on the subject. I am very pleased with the Modding community for this phone. Looks like you all have some extremely talented Dev's. I look forward to what they release in the future.

agreed. sometimes i feel like using my evo again just so i can have cm7
Touchwiz is a launcher...it can be deleted, easily. I don't get the hate on touchwiz. I don't like it, so, I delete it and use another launcher. Its not like Sense.
I love cyanogen too, but, touchwiz has nothing to do with why.
...am I missing something?

+1........ TW4 is been pretty good in my opinion
Tw 4 has been fairly decent but can't wait for cm 7 and 9 to truly show what this phone is capable of.... it runs pretty fast with Tw when we get hardware acceleration in cm 9 ... wow

Lol TW4 is hardware accelerated as well. ICS just carriers the acceleration everywhere and deeper.

I personay feel that Touchwiz is OK. I just prefer a more pure Google experience. Now Touchwiz on the Galaxy S was horrible but this new Touchwiz seems pretty decent. But I welcome the chance to get an AOSP ROM on this thing and see what its truely capable of.

I don't understand the hate on TW either, it's just a launcher and I deleted it, I use ADW Ex so it never bothers me.

Twiz is more than just a launcher it is a complete is overlay. It changes some of the options in settings and among other things... I prefer also because I love how simple but intricate it is.

I wish this comes but I have serious doubts
Sounds like the CM9 team will get ICS on our E4T sooner than later
"The first devices that we’ll have ready will be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos."
Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to CM9. My last 3 phones had CM7 on them. Getting a little stale. At least running the nightly roms kept me interested. I got rid of my EVO at nightly 260ish. Damn that's a lot builds! I just flashed the ones people gave rave reviews of.

I'm not convinced that it's anything more than a launcher. Different things in the settings screens are a reflection of the rom so far as I understand it.
However I am open to being wrong if you have information to the contrary.

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!

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
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!

If someone flashes this on their E4GT let us know, it should work just fine as the international sdk ics port worked.

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.

GSM =/= CDMA. Unfortunately.
If we get an ICS leak, then devs would probably be more willing to work on it from there. But Touchwiz ICS looks terrible. I'd make an AOSP theme for it if it looked like that upon release.
Omg, smh, wth,... Y r people still posting about devs porting ics. This is days in a row Aaaahhhhhhh b patient. close thread pls.

Ya but will we get the new ability to talk to our phone and the eye tracking so that the phone does not lock while you are looking at? These are some of the new features on the S3
Hehe it's the least they can do for the delay...I think that though once ICS comes out and the S3 comes out devs can port it, esp if we get dman the device )
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.
Yes some miui sounds good right about now too

I'd like that if we could get dual boot going. I really am missing Paranoid since I got the note2
noted for future reference on my Note 2
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.
I think aosp and cm are definitely needed. Just look at how popular they were on the original Note.

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.)
PA and AOKP is what I'm waiting for. But until then, these touch wiz roms have not been bad. Thank you CMENARD, PTMR3 and all the other developers on this forum.
