So right now the awesome developers are working on the ICS SDK Port, and CyanogenMod 9, which has not been released to the public, is also being worked on for the Epic and is actually more functional than the ICS SDK Port. What is the current status on the development of the ICS port and CM9? Are there other ICS-based projects being worked on, such as a complete ICS Port (non-SDK), ROMs like MIUI 4, etc?
Check in general, there should be a thread that gives the status of CM9. And there's a video as well.

And there is a WIP thread on the ICS port in Development you can read.
The sdk port is dead. I got later source built ports from the charge booting, but not much worked. Let's just wait for cm9

Thanks for that. May try MIUI for the first time this weekend. Is there any chance of getting WiMax on MIUI4? Or is it that it will never be available because there is no WiMax in China?
Same thing with the Chinese. According to qbking77 and noobnl cm9 is getting ready and almost perfect other than the memory leak and some issues with camera.

Although the SDK port is dead, will it ever be possible for stock ICS to be ported to the Epic? And from the video, it appears as though CM9 looks just like stock ICS. I'm assuming it will be like stock ICS but with the cyanogenmod features? It doesn't seem like the UI is different the way it's different on CM7. And as for MIUI 4 (which I have high hopes for) will the Epic get any of the MIUI 2 versions, or will it go straight from a v1 to v4? Thanks for the info!
CM9 goodness!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2r7anSiI5I we're very close guys!

Its not v1. V4 is just ics. By that number scheme, we're on v2.3. And v3 would be honeycomb, so its straight from v2.3 to v4. And if you're talking about the 2012 like 2.1.6, miui.us is skipping those releases for most devices and focusing on ics, which is what I'll do too.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
ok, thanks, i meant it like MIUI 2.1.6, so we're going from MIUI 1.12.13 (i forget what version it is) to an ICS based MIUI right? That sounds good.

I came across the Galnet MIUI - ICS build in Defy and Galaxy S I9000 forums
They have the MIUI build on ICS framework and have weekly builds as being published.
Would like to ask have the developers tried this version, as this also supports our lovable DHD.
Hopefully this might even allow the developer working on the ICS source in the developers forum!!!!
Never heard of galnet before! Looks like a pretty good version too.
But thanks for the heads up, downloading now and will try in the next few hours. Will post my findings when I get home =)

Well, with the latest and greatest roms from some very talented and dedicated devs for the Dinc 2, I officially see no reason to reason to use CM7 or MIUI Gingerbread anymore. I was running both of these earlier in the week and in short order found my way back to ICS roms in very short order.
I can't wait till source fixes the few things that are left to fix, but I can live with what I have for now.
Thanks to the Dinc 2 Devs out there!!!
On gingerbread miui... I like it so much I don't see the point to switching. Everything is exactly how I want it... Plus not sure what is so much better about ics

I can't wait for Opensense4 to be as functional as AOKP and CM9. I use my camera on a daily basis, so I haven't made the transition yet to an ICS ROM as my DD (from SRZeus). I am actually about to give AOKP build 31 a go for a few days. I say if you like what you have, why change? But it is nice to see all the hard work being put into ROMs for a phone that doesn't have all the leaks yet.

You might try Blu Kuban by Rujelus. It comes with Apex Launcher baked in but offers other launcher options (including Touchwiz for those so inclined) in the ROM Updater.
I've been using it as a daily driver since he put it out at the end of April.
Before this I used Venum's Anakonda and had mad love for it as well.

The only thing bad about CM9 is that you can't update profile/prl. Other than that it is a very solid, bug-free ROM.
Well with any luck we might see one of these for our version.

Do you mean pure ics or "all ics"? Because ics is what most of the roms are built from now for our phone. You do have the option to go with calkulin's fe22 rooted and tweaked version. From what I here, its very stable. And its practically stock. And ics! You also have some venum build choices among others. There is definitely something that suits your needs. You may need to do some legwork to find the right one for you.

Which ROM? If you mean Blu Kuban then you obviously haven't tried it. You can have as stock an experience as you want or as detailed as you prefer.
Anakonda was also a very clean ROM, as is Venum Ice.
Calkulin's ROMs are always dependable and Agat has some very nice stuff as well.
Fact of the matter is, you have a smorgasbord of ROMs to choose from and there is something out there for every taste.

I run Alpha 4 as a daily driver. I am actually on the 5/28 build which has a couple new additions over the release of A4 but no real complaints for me at the moment. A ton has happened since Alpha 4. For nearly anyone it should be as good as the ics leaks. I think the main complaint with a few people at this point is connectivity loss and most of those are fixed apparently using the EL29 modem to fix it. Ive had it happen maybe once just toggled in and out of airplane mode to fix it.

Where can I find that?
If you're looking for something clean, MIUI is clearly the best option. It's my daily driver.
CM9 A4 is perfectly ready for daily-driver status as long as you disable LED notifications (huge battery hog with alpha 3, i've kept the same behavior w/ alpha 4 so no idea if it's fixed).
I've consistently gotten 4+ hours of screen on time. Easily goes all day, never had GPS issues, force closes or restarts. Pretty perfect.
Wipe everything.
[and MIUI, but it's about as un-stock ICS as a rom can get looks wise. It's my preferred rom fwiw.]

Legwork is right, my friend! when I say pure ics, I mean stock ics everything. No Sammy dialer, ics stock lockscreen (I kinda like the one that came with calkulins..), pretty much just as close to stock ics as you can get. Wouldn't mind some CPU hacks to help balance the battery and whatnot.

Any of the CM9 variants, you can use a third party camcorder if you need it. AOKP has a few more features, but they're not as well implemented imo and it's randomly unstable.

My vote goes to Linaro CM9 or the other CM9 by hd.drk (although I had some battery issues with it, my buddy has not). Both are snappy and 99% problem free.

I know it's a phone, not a camera, etc etc etc, but with a toddler running around the house there is almost always chance for video gold and the phone is always nearby.

You cant go wrong with either rom. I will say evervolv is running much smother for me than miui did. Video works better too. But you can beat the theming with miui. Though I hear that is broken on the latest port.

There is a rom available that is AOSP like , but based on TW. Check dev thread, I think its by TJohnson.
it will never happen on CM 10 as they are open source. Most the TW gimmicks are closed source. Doubt they are gonna waste time to reverse engineer something that really adds very little to the experience

Only my 2nd day on this phone, but the new TW did learn a few lessons from CM. If you can get your hands on a deodex stock, its just a matter of flashing a theme and using a few apps instead of having the built in customization options. Not the same as CM, but better than than the gs2.

MIUI is based on AOSP as well, I believe. It is not based on TW. The original Evo had a custom rom called Valpak that was a "Senseless" rom. The dev (I think his name was Vaelek) took the Sense based rom from HTC and stripped out all the extra fluff, replaced most of the design elements with with the AOSP "look", and tweaked the performance. Dude wasn't just theming, he really made an awesome rom that ran beautifully. And because he started with a Sense base, there was no loss of hardware performance or bugs (that you usually might have with AOSP, especially if "source" hasn't been released by the OEM).
Anyhow, there was something like that for this phone as well, but I never tried it. If people want a TW+AOSP combination, I would recommend running the leaked JB rom (thanks Freeza and leaker) with Nova Launcher, select the JB theme.

Thanks I did not know that. I'll have to give that a try if it ever comes to this phone.
Skyraider is the name of the ROM I was thinking of. It is a Sense CM7 hybrid- based on Sense but with CM7 settings incorporated. The link is here: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/5-rom-skyraider-sense-43-updated-71811/ If this can be done I don't see why a TW/CM10 hybrid wouldn't be possible.
I remember a while back that this one guy from the at&t, I think, forumswas asking some of us to test a touchwiz aokp hybrid. It was a while ago though, not sure what became of it.
