[Q] mods for the non rooted? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So my entire family switched to sprint and got this phone after seeing mine. Im visiting then for the holidays and would like to help them out by doing stone stuff to their phones to improve speed/usability/battery but since they aren't phone savvy I can't make any change that would have to be undone before taking the phone into sprint.
First thing I'm going is changing their prl to 11115.
Any other ideas?

Spare parts for speed.
Screebl for battery issues.
A themed launcher to give them a nice option besides touchwiz.
Dropbox so you can make a folder for them so you can throw game demos, betas, warez if you're so inclined, and whatevers their way in the future.
Edit: throw on a facial recognition lockscreen:

You'll get bored of the amaze quickly, with the lack of support and average battery life. Camera is awesome though.
Try the gn or the note which apparently can use our h+ network now? Someone exploited it or something.
Why don't you play with different launchers or something? That'll keep you entertained just a bit longer.
I would stay away from htc phones until they prove themselves worthy again. Or get a wp8 phone

Maybe I'll try a wp8....something different. I played with all the launchers already. And lol that's the very reason I wanna go to a amaze because of the camera. The note is a little to big for my chops. I might as well activate voice calling on my tab lol.

Farewell Epic 4G Touch community!

I recently changed wireless providers and I am currently on AT&T now. I got the Galaxy S II for AT&T and I'm liking it so far. I would just like to thank all the developers for their hard work and the community with all that they have helped with. Also anyone that has every answered a question that I have asked, I really appreciate it. Its been good. Take Care.
Well at least you got a good phone!

I thought both Note and Skyrocket were based on snapdragon chipsets, not Exynos. In other words, Epic Touch is still the best phone in the US.

Exactly. And because Epic Touch has a larger screen, 4G and notification led, it's the best version of GS2 or any other android phone in the us.
He'd probably have to import an international Note just to make up for swapping out the Epic Touch. And that still may not be an upgrade if one cared about 4G (which I really don't, so it would be for me).
Congrats. You just downgraded your service provider and downgraded you device. AT&Ampt is the worst possible carrier and you no longer has the exynos chipset. If i was you i would do an about face. Return your AT&Ampt device. And NEVER EVER look back. Also i hope you enjoy getting limited to 2GB of Data thru AT&Ampt. And getting charged more for less minutes. Enjoy. Lulz.

Setup phone for "IPOD ONLY"???

Hey I was wondering ..... I bought a Galaxy S3 and want to turn my Epic 4g into an IPOD only to listen to music and watch videos. How can i disable my antenna completely? What else could i disable to save battery?? Also what version of android should i use? ICS? ANY COMMENTS WOULD BE HELPFUL! THANKS
Just put it on Airplane mode. Why not just sell it? Whats the point of carrying around two 4.5' devices?
I love it as a secondary android device. My kids love the games on it too =) So airplane mode and thats it? No code i could put in on the keypad for permanent disable?

Not worth the upgrade IMO. S3 handles anything without lag, screen is perfect, and resolution is not a huge issue

IMO lte itself is worth the upgrade. Wimax in my area is very spotty and my area is in the round two markets.

Lol...you crack me up with this. I am curious to see if Sammy will still use MTP on the S3. I was reading a post from a Cyanogen kernel dev last night explaining that since Sammy chose this route their Touchwiz phones (all variants of S2) will always require separate kernels for AOSP and Touchwiz ROMs. I guess we are the only ones that can't have these great "any kernels." I can post a screenshot where it was explained in more detail if anyone is interested. It may be a reason why we have so few kernel devs on board

Any word on premium features

Any word on premium features coming to the phone after s4 release. I'm not blown away with s4, so I might try to make it one more phone cycle.
Also, any way to get a bit more out of the camera? That's been my biggest disappoint with the phone. I know the s4 has a better sensor, but from what I'm reading, it's processing is not stellar.
Cheers

Had no idea today was release day. Can't wait for it to post, or of course to come ota.
Thanks.
Kind of cool that Sprint is releasing this on S4 day. Its in their best interests, since very very few S3 users will upgrade...just some of the devs and fanboys, I suppose.
Once I get it, I could care less about the S4.

Also, the S3 is the last phone to support SVDO (simulataneous voice and 3G data)
At least from the looks of it anyway, seeing that the S4 and HTC One only have SVLTE

All phones have SV4G/WiFi be they LTE or WiMax. And yes SVDO is going the way of the dodo as the new 1x-advanced band will allow for SV3G without the added hardware.

I like to break stuff!
Yes, but as of now, 3G is everywhere LTE isn't (and for a long time to come for a lot of people). Some never even saw WiMax in it's lifespan.

Yeah but the thing is, when its added at the source level (Java code thats then compiled into all the Touchwiz apps and framework) it tends to be much more stable than if we hack it in
