All ROMs are in Development. The title tells you what firmware they are. All of Epic ROMs are great. Pick one.

His phone will keep telling him to update until he actually runs the update, or at least tries to (it obviously wont work if you are running a custom ROM). Just because his phone is telling him to update, doesn't necessarily mean it's better. I'm going to go ahead and agree with everyone else on here and say CM9 is amazing. The only reason I haven't gotten the EL30 modem and flashed CM9 (I have tried it and its awesome) is because i use the hotspot hack on my other ROM and 4g wifi tethering doesn't work on CM9 yet. Most people don't care about that issue so I'd definitely say forget looking for a EL30 ROM and go straight for CM9.

There are not many roms based on el30 yet, and to be honest, its not that great of an update. Cm9 is now available, but still had some bugs to get worked out. For now I would strongly advise starskyrom mtd v2.0, or marcusant v3. Its all about personal taste, and roms perform differently for every device.

sense rom on epic?

Hopefully this is not a stupid question......but how come there is no sense on roms on our epics????
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Because it's been worked on and never really got anywhere. Besides MIUI, cm7, cm9 > Sense.

Ohhh its just i really loved sense and was wondering if we would ever get a complete rom working......
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
In the market there is a sense go launcher theme by I believe droidman. It is $1.00 or you can just find the apk. Somewhere. Anyway, then go to youtube and find a video showing you how to set it up (it can get pretty tricky) and then you can use CM7 and find the sense theme. Also, using widgetlocker you can get the old/new sense lockscreen. This is the closest you can get to a sense "ROM" on your phone. Hope this helped!

Xboxfanj said he may start development on a sense rom for the epic again... it was a couple weeks back when he said that and he has been pretty busy with miuiv4 lately so I don't know that I would expect it to be completed anytime soon if ever...

Over clock kernel for ICS

We got one yet? Can't find it if there is one.....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
No. Not yet. We are still working on finalizing the ics rom. I believe we will see some oc kernel after the formal ics release.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Cool...thanx.....my e4gt is about to not have service.....I have to switch to either T-Mobile or Verizon....t has a galaxy s2....and Verizon has the nexus.....I am leaning forwards the gs2 on t mobile ......seems they have some good devs on there....ICS is bad ass but the nexus is just a downgrade it seems
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeah we need the source for a custom kernel, which won't be published until the update goes official.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
okay its been a year. any news on oc kernels for ics. or any plan for ones on jb if we get source?
agats 0.6.0 from source
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
in regards to JB question....of course someone on this forum will release a kernel with the usual OC/UC and tricks...when source is released

Font or be fonted

So I'm running the peoples rom on my new epic (and it's amazing) but I was wanting to install a font from rom toolbox and was wondering if that would hurt anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't work on cm9 but any other rom will work just fine. You could just use font installer .

Modem (baseband) seems to be personal choice these days. As a habit I always go with the latest official but it is what works best for you.

I always use the latest official so am currently on FC09 but have seen no change from when I was on the EL30. Either one can be odin'd in or put in through a series of flashables.

Can we flash ics skyrocket roms?

Seems to me the development in the skyrocket forum is ahead of ours. Can we flash skyrocket ics rooms without modification from the skyrocket forum or do we have to wait until the t989 devs hack it to work. Also what must be modified to get the skyrocket ics roms to boot?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
All of your questions can be answered in the development thread.
Edit: why are you asking here? According to your sig you've already got a sky rocket...Why not head to the appropriate forum?

His signature probably says he had a skyrocket because he is running one of the new leaks ported to the T989.

Before the latest leak, I flashed SkyICS without a problem. Just had to flash the autorotate hotfix and a T-Mobile radio.
