Hey guys I got my hands on a Epic 4G from a friend for doing some computer work and I have a Evo 4G as well. I really like the Epic 4G but it is so much different in terms of rooting and flashing, I have my phone rooted with the latest version of Gingerbread and with ACS Recovery based on CWM5. I am planning on running CM7 but I am looking for the best kernel to use and the best way to install them.
Also are there any scripts that are similar to Dark Tremors Apps 2 SD? Thanks for you time!

What are some good kernels to try that have good performance and wireless n capabilities?
Honestly if ur gonna run cm7 with the stoc kernal I would try that for the time being or follow the nightlies. But a couple of other ppl have kernals for cm7 but try stock first then go from there. I'm on nightly 15 and haven't found ay probs with it yet

Everything good is in the top 10 in Development. You can't ask what is the best because each phone reacts differently to the kernels. Also move to CWM 5.027 since it is officially supported for our phone now. Once you move to CM7 you will be on MTD and either stick with MTD ROMs or Odin back and repartition your phone to try BML ROMs. Read through the development ROMs and kernels to follow the bugs and fixes some users experience.

Thanks for your help guys, guess I am a little spoiled with my Evo and was surprised there was far less available for the Epic.
So I am un and running on CM7 with no problems but by wireless speeds are horrible, the link speed are wireless b speeds (19-30Mbps) will this kernel solve this problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342047 I thought this phone was b/g/n like the Evo.

I ran an evo for a week. It was interesting.
There is less going on with the epic as far as rom choices, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality. CM7 is very good and stable. With it you don't really need apps2sd because there is a bunch of space available. As far as a good kernel, stock is fine, but I have been using KernelSanders. It's stable, can overclock, and great battery life. I'd check it out

Hey everyone. My wife decided her mytouch slide is a little too laggy for her. I have rooted and flashed HTC phones and my vibrant with great success.

The dopio oc kernels are also very stable esp at 768 and 806. Just use set cpu app to maximize battery life.
The cm nightlies are also usually very stable.
The slide reloaded rom is also a sweet themed version of cr's full ota rom.

Yeah, for my uses, Cyan with the dopio kernel is the way to go 100%. But you never know, once you get the ENG flashed, let your wife play with all the ROMs she can handle until she finds one she likes. ROM Manager makes it ridiculously easy.
What about the galaxy slide rom by infinitybiff? Anyone tried that? I don't use touch wiz on my vibrant but the wife might like it. Still leaning towards cyan. Just need something fast and stable for her. I'm gonna have to theme it for her myself cause there is no one doing that.

I just flashed Galaxy Slide Beta the other day after using CR for the longest time. its the first ROM that i have flashed (and there have been many) that i didn't immediately flash straight back to CR. i am having a minor trouble with the color scheme in the notification pull down and i haven't tried all the features yet... (i.e. bluetooth, tethering, and maybe one or two more) but all in all i love it!

The dopio kernel is integrated into cyanogenmod 6.1+, no need to flash it over again, but other roms you will have to flash it.

Cyanogenmod is froyo, and based off of the AOSP source, so it has a more vanilla flavor to it. CR_Mod is just the rooted stock OTA ROM with a wifi tether, and a2ext built in. CR_Mod is also eclair, it just all depends on what you like better, the latest vanilla customizable stuff, or the more stock HTC sense feel, with all of the t-mobile stuff.
I have a friend who has an epic. He asked me to mod it. I have the Vibrant and other GSM phones, So I really need some input on which of the Rom out there are the Best performers/ most stable and any other thoughts you might have. Also, a question There are no DL kernel roms for the Epic yet?, and if not, you have the latest December release modems ?

DK28 is the newest stuff we have. Nothing from December. :-(
I prefer Bonsai4All with ext4. You can do Bonsai4All (and many of the other ext4 roms) without switching the file system, too, if you don't want to mess with that.
I'd also recommend Bonsai4all. Great improvements everywhere.

Because it isn't finished yet. Video playing and recording are broken, while the camera doesn't have full functionality yet. Plus, it's still prebeta, although it's been pretty stable for me.
I suspect if the user is asking this question, they want something stable and are unwilling to take the time to try to see what's their personal favourite.
I recommend Bonsai4All and NebulaROM. They have been the most stable, have given me the best battery life, and the least amount of issues.
Video playing and the camera do work. Just no video recording. Honestly can't remember the last time I took a video though.
I don't know, good enough for my daily driver. I guess the little things may be more important to others though.
I like bonsai and quantum. Both are good.

stability wise:
Dl18 roms
1. Baked snacks 1.6 undisputed
2. Andromeda Galaxy 1.1.1a
3. Syndicate Rom
2 a 3 can be swapped
The dk28 froyo leak has bugs you might not want to deal with like if you dont flash the modem, lock gps, then flash dk28 the gps doesnt work... when you call ppl often you hear nothing unless you turn on/off speaker phone real quick.. and other crap thats not really worth the added flash support (youtube app still works on the dl18 roms just webpage flash videos dont)
But if you -really- want a dk28 rom i'd go with Bonsai4All themed. Its sexy. If you don't feel like dealing with EXT4 or CWM3 then epic experience is nice too.
Its funny how BThomas can lol at my post,but cant beat any of the scores Ive posted...Im down for a challenge...to BThomas,I know you know these ROMs all have the sae guts,but I use some on the edge stuff that just works in my ROM to provide the best speed and battery life.

I really like Calkulin's ROM. It's close to stock, which to me is an advantage, but includes some sensible additions. The latest version is based on the most recent leaked update and includes a modified kernal with a ClockWorkMod-based recovery.
I'd recommend new users check out qbking77's videos in this thread. They were a great help to me when getting started.

The "AOS bug" is not ROM related. Read the forums here for an answer to what it is and how to "fix" it.
As far as the "best" ROM it's all subjective but I would go for Calk's 2.0. The man knows what he is doing.
I have always used stock kernel and stock rooted ROM for this phone. This had been the best user experience I have had in an Android. I am so happy with battery life I don't want to change.
Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.
Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.

Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better.

So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.
Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.

I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....
I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.

I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section.

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.
Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?
The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock?

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

S-off'd and flashed the 7/5 cm9 nightly last night. Wow. Its like I have a new phone.
Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?
So I'm getting the t-mobile gsii soon. I currently have the epic 4G. I looked in ur dev section and seen a lot of ROMs but noticed that from the titles I didn't see any 4.2.2 ROMs, is there any? I'm expecting yes, since my epic 4g has a handful of them already.
Do you guys have slimbean? If not, any recommendations for the closest ROM to slim?
And your kernels support voodoo sound correct?

EDIT: so I found some 4.2.2 roms and even slimbean.
I'm still a lil confused about the kernels tho.
There's different kernels for stock tw, jb 4.1.2 and 4.2.2? Do they have
And another thing is the radios, are they like modems?

Kernels come with the ROM. Most of the time it can stay where its at and you'll never know the difference. For a 4.2 ROM, i'm partial to AvatarROM. And we have 10.1 nightlys posted on the page as well. If you want stability, 4.1 is the best choice ATM. Jedi Mind Trick JB v4 is a great choice. (look at me... Plugging all these ROM's. lol) Its super stable and you can swap out kernels if you need to. It doesn't have a theme engine in it yet, but the avatar rom does have themeing though. Your chice. IDK about the Voodoo sound. That kinda died with GB. The new ROM's have Beats audio and the DSP manager. Does better than Voodoo. Radios are like modems, yes. They can be swapped out but need to be compatible with your kernel in order to function properly. UVMC6 comes with most ROM's but I like the radio from the Note2, UVLG3. Most ROM's can utilize a Kernel Tuner and an app called Trickster MOD from the playstore. You can set idle frequencies and make it so only one core runs until a load is placed on the phone. Real battery saver. And make sure your flashing the right Gapps packages for the ROM. 4.2 Gapps won't work with 4.1 even though they are both JB. Hope that helped. Any other questions, PM me.

Yup, thanks. That was almost everything I needed to know. I'm not a total nube so I understand how everything works, its just you guys have some things different than what I'm used to from the Epic 4G forum. I've rooted this device before so I shouldn't have a problem with that and I'm familiar with a few of your ROMs such as Avatar, but I'm going to have to try some new ones to see what I really like. Thanks for you reply tho, ill probably have more questions once I actually get the phone by the end of this month.

Your welcome. Might I suggest you use JMT as a daily driver til you figure out what you want. Its super stable and has all the comforts of stock in one. Like i said, PM me if you have any questions. I'm always around.
