I highly recommend viper rom! I get great battery and speed from the latest release. And I have no force closes at all.

The OP said he did not want to use odin and upgrade the modem.
But, I do agree that the latest viper rom is great. Using odin to upgrade the modem is not difficult and the epic is pretty much impossible to brick so I would encourage you to try upgrading your modem to dk28 and going with viper or bonsai. Both are great roms. If you don't like them it is easy to use odin to return to stock.

Yeah i agree, however viper has to much going on like the lock and unlock sounds get annoying afther a while but its still a good rom. Bonsai is probably the best rom I think super smooth and no f/c.

Syndicate rom is exactly what your looking for. No odin runs on Di18.

Oh my bad, I thought the DI18 viper rom was still available but I just checked and it isn't. So then my next opinion is Syndicate or Epic Experience.
If you're looking for a DI18 ROM, OP, just click the link in my signature.
If you want 2.1: Go with ACS rom
If you want 2.2: Go with midNIGHT, bonsai, or viper [in that order]
I was on midNIGHT for the longest and it is fast, stable, everything works! I'm currently on viper. I def like the rom. I find that the battery seems to drain faster than midNIGHT even though i'm getting about 9hrs on viper. Navigation is not working atm, but i'm sure it'll be fixed by the weekend.
That said, being a former hero owner, it may seem confusing and hard at first but its really not difficult at all... just read up and drop a reply, someone will be willing to help!
Hey man I came from a Hero and I felt really intimidated too. I actually thought I bricked my Epic first and then had to learn how to use ODIN. Its actually pretty sweet because as long as you can boot into "download mode" on your phone (the number 1 and power) you can restore back to stock via ODIN. I would suggest you take the time read up on how to use ODIN and flash the dk28 build with the modem. Just be aware that it can mess with GPS.
I finally have a ROM I like "Truley Epic Rebirth" its the only DK28 Rom that has a modified kernel that will give you full adb permissions. Every other Rom only gives you root permission via shell with is annoying if you do any font customizations or custom boot-screens etc...
Bonsai ROM definitely! 4G Sprint hotspot app works, nav, gps, no force closes. I'm running it with ADW on top and it's quite stable.

do as he says! if you don't want to upgrade to dk28 modem then syndicate ROM is def the way to go.. smoothest dkI18 rom out.
Flashing zips is easy with the epic. I say try em all and decide for yourself which one you like best. Load up your sd card and while watching your favorite tv show flash away until you find one you like. I will tell you this though, all of the 2.2 roms are based on the same kernel until we have an official source so there isn't a whole lot of difference. As far as appearance goes you can theme over any rom. Personally I'm running midnight rom with the emotionless beast theme but I change my rom out from time to time, one thing I don't change is my theme. Love the emo beast!
If you want to go to froyo then def. Bonsai. A new version is getting ready to be released and its fast and very stable.

Ok I have alot going on over here on my brothers Epic 4G. First off i rooted it and is running ACS SyndicateROM Twilight Zone 1.0.4 (Malanga) EB13 build, im pretty sure you guys know exactly which ROM thats is, but anyways, he is getting horrible battery life and I was going to try to put him back stock and see what the newest updates for the Epic would be. For some reason whatever I do to try to Odin it never works but thats another story. Basically what I want to know is what ROM out there that doesnt really have alot of bells and whistles and that has great battery life that I can load up? Since I cant seem to upgrade to EC05, I guess i have to stick with a EB13 build.
I also know kernels has alot to do with the battery life as well and right now its running kernel 2.6.32.9. IDK just by looking at the kernel you know if it has bad battery life or what. I am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see how that works out.
Sorry for all the noobish questions. I am very familiar with loading ROMS and kernels and Clockwork and all that since im a ROM tester for the Droid 1, and I know things are similiar but I do see their are some differences. If someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
Go to Development section. There are several EC05 ROMs you can flash. Look at the EC05 ReRFS ROM.

Midnight Rom 5.2. It will link you to his homepage to download it, but you can flash it over EB13 and it will automatically update you to EC05. It's a very nice, fast and smooth rom. He has currently had to leave development right now for some family issues, but the rom is up to date and very nice. Check it out and hit me up if you have any more questions that I might be able to help you with.

So question, any ROM that you go to thats upgradable, for example me on EB13 and a ROM I want to flash thats EC05, it will automatically update it? Or is it just this ROM that does it or all of them?

Not all of them do. That one does for sure, and their might be a few others. Just be sure to read the OP in the thread for descriptions. He also has a EC05 modem package on his site with a YouTube video showing how to update the modem to EC05 if you just want the modem and not the rom. If you click the Autism banner in my signature it will take you to his site and then go to the Android Development section and he has tons of useful information on how to update and you can also download his roms there. You don't have to register or nothing on his site just click what you need.
Read the OP for the ROM. Some will update you and others tell you to Odin the EC05 modem after flashing. There is also an EC05 modem flashable update. All in the Developement section.

I recently got a stock FH13 phone off a friend and I have it rooted. However once I rooted I found my 4g barely works on any from (10k/s). Running AOSP jb and flashed FI03 because i heard it would help but didnt. I'm coming off a ns4g where I can flash away and not worry. I tried searching here and on Google with nothing coming up. Any solutions? Thanks in advance

If you are currently on aosp jb follow the instructions in the video and update profile and prl. If you get decent 4g in your area then you will get decent 4g on any rom that has 4g working.

Are you referring to FI03 modem? That will not help, this is sounds like the "ics 4g bug" that some people get (me included), there's no fix yet for aosp. You'll need to go to a FI03 based rom, or gingerbread.
What rom are you running? Do they include the radios or I dont have to do anything since I already have that modem flashed? I looked and I couldnt find any AOSP FI03 roms. All that are FI03 are touchwiz (blahhh)

Search the forum for "wimax threshold" you'll see a few threads talking about the issue. The settings were changed in FI03 rom. If you want ICS, try the stock rooted here:

Think I can restore back to that then go back to CM9 and the fix will stick? I read that some people had that work out. My phone is a refurb so maybe thats why its being so stubborn

Nah, once you switch to CM9 you'll lose the fix. The fix is part of the FI03 rom and maybe kernel. Just try out the rom, update profile and prl. If you still get bad 4G speed then it could be the area you're in or the phone itself.
Thanks a lot. I almost bricked it (odin stopped mid process because im on WIN8) but managed to recover. My 4g speeds picked up but are nowhere near my EVO 4g. It is usable now though so thanks a lot and I will experiment some more later :laugh:
I just got the Epic 4G Touch from BOOST (White version). Right now I am bone stock, 4.0.4 FI22. I'm looking to ROOT it and run this ROM

If there are any differences please let me know. I have searched but Im not really finding anything.
Links would be much appreciated.

You can use agats kernel to get root, once you have root you can flash whatever rom and kernel you want as long as its for the EPIC 4G TOUCH and is compatible with the rom. Im running the BLU KUBAN rom on my BOOST MOBILE EPIC 4G TOUCH. It comes with the KUBAN kernel, and I can confirm 3G,4G work flawless so does GPS and every thing else. hope this helps you
As said before, if my simple to follow guide is followed, you can be rooted in no time without much hassle, even the most novice user can do it.

Ok, I got it rooted, now Im actually trying to get Blu Kuban. What kernal did you use to flash that ROM? I read that you cant use Agats kernal to flash Roms. Ive seen the the GB kernal EL26 is safe. But that confuses me honestly.

It shouldn't matter. In my personal testing and daily usage, Agats is safe for flashing most ICS ROM's, but some say that when it comes to AOSP or AOKP to use the EL26.
If you want to be extra safe use the EL26 CWM kernel.
Ok. So Im on Blu Kuban now. Its going to take some getting use to. But what is THE best ROM for the E4GT? Best battery life, like the #1 option for users of this phone.

I reckon that there is no such thing as a "best ROM". I personally don't like blu kuban as it has the damn blu kuban wording everywhere like if I'm playing blues clues an a lot of menus are dark, making it impossible to see unless highlighted. See how easy it is for others to have different views of ROM's when it comes to picking a best ROM?
I suggest you take a look around for a ROM in your taste. There is lots of ROM's to choice from and in the end only you can decide which works best for you with a mixture of tweaking. OFC lets also remember that certain applications you use may affect your experience with battery life on ROMs.

No problem! Sorry this one wasn't as quick For something like Blazer's I'd recommend either Kobridge's rom or Jellyverse These Roms have good battery life (maybe not as good as Blazer's but still good) and some pretty nice mods. Both are very stable too :good:

Sure! When I run Jellyverse (I constantly switch Roms) I flash the S Voice Mod, FL16 All in one mod, 13 toggles by _dan, and Jellyverse Kobridge Tweaks 4.2A.Those are the mods I like to use but there are others that TDunham has made (which are great) but I don't use them. A few things to keep in mind though: since you're on the rom already, you'll need to flash the FL16 AGAT Recovery http://d-h.st/RSt with Mobile Odin and then go into recovery, flash the mods, and then flash the stock FL16 kernel http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... (SPH-D710)/Kernels/Stock (TW) Kernels/JB/ZIP Also, if you use Kobridge's Tweaks, he recommends to not use any battery saving apps along with it. After this, you'll be good to go :good:

Yeah you can use the GA10 kernel. Kobridge's Tweaks do a lot of things to save battery once your screen is off and there's nothing required on your part, once you flash the version you want, they start working immediately. I like the Aggressive Tweaks since they're the most battery saving of all of K's Tweaks (4.2A) Hope this helps
