I am looking for a complete feature list for Starburst and Blazer to determine the difference between the two. I have read the feature list for both roms but the Blazers feature lists "Other Tweaks, Hacks, and Mods" which could be anything. Further some of the features listed for Blazer are a bit vague. I have downloaded both roms in hopes that there would be a list of features but alas they do not contain one. Could someone please point me to a complete features list or explain to me the difference between the two. Thanks in advance.
your best bet would be to post this question in that roms thread, although since you are a 1 time poster, you might not get anyone willing to answer your question, since its a really detailed, specific question..
good luck

That is where I originally attempted to post this question but since I do not have the 10 posts required I was reduced to asking here, but I appreciate the response. Maybe with a bit of luck my question will still get answered here.
Frankly, with this phone, and the roms that are out there now,"newer" is usually better; I never ran Starburst, but I did run Blazer and it is a very nice rom; it was more of a stock experience than I care for, so I use other more heavily themed roms now, but, I think he just released version 3.6, which looks to be themed heavily like how ICS is gonna look..

I would tend to agree with you. According to the wiki for the rom database they were both updated on 01.05.12, so it comes back to features.

Yeah Blazer is looking good from the screenshots. I was going to stray away from miui for a bit to flash it but from when I downloaded it last night to a moment ago, the damn file just disappeared. Oh well. To the OP, Blazer would be your best bet since PH tends to favor that one more and updates it frequently.

Starburst has the lockmod by maddogin and is themed green. Blazer will not (I personally don't like the mod and blazer is my main rom atm)and is themed ics. Blazer also has a 4g toggle which will not be implemented in star burst. Otherwise performance is equal.

Thanks for the advice. Also when reading the features that Blazer has compared to Starburst, I almost get the impression that Blazer contains everything Starburst has but also has some extra battery tweaks. Maybe I am missing something?

ive seen Urban Decay and Random ROM 2.3 HAWK
and im wonder which is better of the 2 and is there a ROM that you consider better than those 2 please let me know

Well, every ROM runs a little different on each of our Epics. If you want a good Gingerbread leak ROM, use one that has either Deca's or Crawrj's newly DeOdexed stock ROM as its base. Be kind guys, he only has 19 posts.

Just remember that EVERY phone is different so asking "what is the best ROM" is relative only to that user's experience. Some phones seem to not like custom ROMs at all and sometimes it is the user and then they complain about their problems. The easy answer is read up on the positives and negatives of a few and try one. The best thing is that there is tons of good people here willing to help if you run into trouble or a few Force Closes.

Good suggestions but just to clarify, you can't use TheImpaler's keyboard patch on Gingerbread ROMs like Random Hawk. The keyboard fix will come when the official comes out and we get source. Most of the Froyo EC05 ROMs have it baked in though

AHH forgot about that. thanks a lot for that clarification. At least from that provided link, OP can install the speed demon one because from what i remember, EC05 ROMs come with the default keyboard patch in them. At least it'll help him out in that sense? As far as the rotation lag fix goes, i know that Random Hawk has it already, but for some people it doesn't work, same with ERA's rom.
I really like the RandomKing HAWK so far.
I am pretty new to ROMS and really like this one.. not close to the highest quadrant scores, but feels the fastest and most stable to me.
I have ran EB13 VIPER 5.0, EC05 ACS Frozen 1.2 and now the RandomKing HAWK v.2.
Right now I have RandomKing with his included Chris14g kernel, EG22 modem, Supercharged v6 script, option 9, CPU is overclocked to 1.2Ghz, journaling is turned off.
Only had it a couple days, so we will see.

I have to agree with you there. If Quadrant benchmarks are your thing, Urban Decay flies.I get 3200+ marks at 1.2 with Tegrak. On Froyo..what Zander said. ERA ReVolt Revolution yields the highest Smartbench scores on a consistent basis. Its the only ROM other than Urban Regen that gives me 1600+ CPU marks and it does almost every time. It is fast!

Once I started flashing I just couldn't stop...I did learn that after 20 flashes, the Amazon App Market stops letting you log in because each time you flash it captures it as a new device in your profile. To fix that just log into Amazon and delete the old/invalid entries.
Here are the ROMS I have had the privilege to try:
SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1
Urban Regeneration
Swiss Cheese Samsprint
EF02 Leak (stockish)
EG22 Leak (stockish)
Urban Inception
midNIGHT ROM
ACS Go Green
ERA Olympus (artist formermly know as Unamed)
ERA EpicuReAn SCrAMbLED EGgs22
RandomROM Hawk v2
Many people have already stated this, but it is really about personal preference as far as what will work best for you. There have been some ROMS that just did not play nice with my phone, but I am sure this is a phone by phone thing as well. My favorites by far are CK's Urban series and the RandomROM Hawk. I have ran with Hawk the longest (previously Osprey) and I have loved it. Although, I still miss my sexy Urban ROM at times. What it boiled down to for me was saving battery and RandomROM excels at this. Being unable to post on the development board, I do want to thank all of the devs who invest their personal time (especially those that don't even own an Epic anymore or work for the competition) to make our phones kick a$$. Thank You All!
Just upgraded my HTC EVO today (amazing deal at Sam's Club), already rooted it and am now looking for any ROM selection advice. Calkulin's seems pretty popular but all I really want is the IMO really ugly four main icons replaced (the phone, contacts, messaging, applications, icons), and to have tethering with 4g working. Calkulin's thumbnails seem to have the same stock icons, but maybe there are skins I'm not seeing? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Calkulin and UnNamed roms are both really good and stable roms. I've used both of them on a daily basis. You can theme many of these roms just check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1285 . This thread will have a lot of themes that you can choose from. Good luck and have fun
I recommend calkulins rom with the ACS ice cream sandwich theme. Here's how mine looks.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Same here: Calkulin with ICS theme
Senzation or cakulin ROM + go laugher. You will have both the 4g tether and icon s to choose from. Go launcher gives you so much options for icons.

I personally like Blazer ROM the most so far. It's nice and smooth and is debloated. Plus it has No CIQ, which is something you really want to look for in a ROM, I believe Calkulin's has CIQ removed but I was only on Calkulin's for about a day and switched back to Blazer. Blazer v3.5 has an EXCELLENT stock feel to it but it has all the benefits of being a non stock ROM. I usually get about 24 hours of battery life running Blazer v3.6 (Which is ICS themed) and Tegrak to undervolt my CPU and keep it at 800MHz just like Calk's. Both Blazer ROM and Calkulin's ROM are excellent, I've just decided to stay with Blazer.
I use Blazer ROM and love it. Well I personally haven't tried Calk or unNamed but I plan on trying both. Blazer ROM though is really fast and the battery life is great. I recommend you check it out.
I suggest blazer all the way. currently using 3.5 even tho 3.7 is out the theme is better on 3.5
I personally use Calkulin's 2.8.1 stock with the gunslinger kernel flashed. Amazing battery life!
However, as has already been said, it's good to try multiple roms. It's a good way to learn about what you're doing, and to find what you like the best.

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.
IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...
no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.
Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)
OK people !

Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

Well I wouldn't know as I've only tried stock, freeza's fre3 and blue odex since coming over from the og epic.. I guess my "word has it" comment came from reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29890564 <-- that
I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.
This is my first time flashing a ROM on my (Sprint) S3 and I'm trying to decide between Wicked Sensations and AOKP Jellybean.
If anyone has tried out both of these ROMs, I have 2 questions.
1. Which runs faster/smoother?
2. Which has better battery life?
Thanks for any help.
best roms
Jellybomb 4.0 or wicked sensations

definitely Jellybomb, the best and most themed ROM. Has a plethora of features, battery life pretty good on v4.
message brought to u by my JellyBombed GalaxyS3
Alright. I'll check out the Jellybomb ROM.
Thanks
Try each of them out. Each rom is going to offer you a different experience. Just remember to do backup and follow install instructions. I myself would rather try different experiences instead of just asking which is better. Have some fun with your device and see what all is out there.
Don't try mine.. it sucks

Where do you go to look for different roms that you are deciding between? Any suggestions?
I have tried just about all of them. I watched qbking77 on you tube first.odexed blue and wicked sensations was pretty much a tie. Cm10 has been my favorite jellybean.

What's the difference between CM10 and roms? Noob question I know but I'm new to this
Jellybomb
While the other guys are right that each Rom has something different offer, I highly recommend Jellybomb. He is always updating and answers questions. Some Roms get put up and then you rarely hear back if you have a prob. Honestly, it is a matter of opinion though. I tried several out for myself before finding Jellybomb. I personally did not like CM10 at all.

Id have to say JellyBomb And StrongSteve's odexed blue are the best. I also agree that CM10 isnt that great. I mean it runs amazing and all that but the gut the rom and remove all touchwiz features and all that which IMO is a waste since toucwiz does have some very good features that I use all the time. I dont see why someone would buy a phone and then put a rom on there that strips it down to the bare minimum. Also like others have said though you really need to try them out yourself and see which one you like. Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of these screenshots dont do the roms justice. You need to see them on the SuperAmoled to really appreciate it.

That would be in the development forum...read the OP and a few pages of the last pages of the ROM thread to see if there are issues.
JellyBomb fan and MIUI right now, is getting stable thanks to chair face but Josh beach from JellyBomb is pretty good and he's always working on it
MIUI Jellybean 2.8.31 B2

CM10 isn't that great for you personally .
CM doesn't 'gut' anything, it's built from source, it's just a different experience, one that some find fantastic. Since ICS Google has really stepped up their game, it still needs a bit more setup out of the box, but it isn't nearly as daunting as it was in earlier versions. Back in the Eclair/Froyo days manufacturer's overlays like HTC's Sense were almost necessary, those days are gone. Now people can choose more freely, at least people like us who want to root . All that said, Samsung has done a really great job with Touchwiz now, it's not at all a bad experience like it used to be. Very functional, light, speedy and provides plenty of depth in settings and customization.
I know the OP doesn't want to hear it, but you really just have to try things out for yourself and see what's best for you and your needs. Take people's suggestions and find some time to try out some various ROMs for a day or two at a time.

I'd love to try something else but right now I'm in love with CM10. It's my first custom ROM so maybe it's that first love thing going on. Woopie, I don't have captcha anymore.
If you like touch wiz like me then phantoms blazer from 1.7 is great 1.8 has some battery life issues
