In need of a good rom... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Anyone have fast roms with custom lock screen and ics transitions? I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find one that suits my needs. Tried tsm revamped but I hate how long it takes to turn on the screen do to the transition effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just changed over to the BlazerRom and have to admit it's very nice. Only been on it for a few days but after trying every rom there is for this phone (out side of unnamed that won't be updated anymore by the original rom maker) blazerRom has been the best out of the box so to speak.

It doesn't have a custom lock screen though unfortunately

+1 for Blazer ROM, looks excellent, runs super smooth, and most important of all battery life is excellent. This will be my main ROM until native ICS starts flying around...

+1 on Calk's. Used to have Blazer.

All of these roms are great but I really dislike the stock lock screen. I tried blazer rom and some others but I really want a rom that is the whole package.

Have you tried just using widgetlocker? I switched to it when I got the ET and I love it. The integration with screebl pro is amazing. Once you've switched to a screebl/widgetlocker combo, you will be unable to stand not having it. Best 5 bucks I've ever spent on my phone ($2 for screebl/$3 for widgetlocker)

Yeah I used widget locker for some time but the issue with that is it acts like an application not a lock screen.

You may want to try TNz Blend with the optional TSM parts. I've been running it for a few days now and it's an excellent ROM. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't get more attention honestly. I'd say it's a bit of a sleeper hit. Not to mention the huge selection of themes available and they keep coming. It sounds like it would suit your needs if you want to give it a spin.

Sounds pretty intriguing. I'll make sure to check it out. And thanks for the help.

Quick question though... how's the performance on that rom?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I highly recommend Strong Steve's odexed Rom. It's fast, smooth, never had a crash or a random reboot and the battery life is great. I put Go launcher and Go locker on it with an ICS lockscreen. Lots of themes are available for Go launcher. Rujelus22's Blu Kuban Rom is nice too and has TSM parts already baked in so there's a bunch of different lockscreens to choose from. I kept getting hot reboots with it and some other users do as well so I switched to SS's.

Try GoLocker.

Use UnNamed ROM and add the transparent lock screen to it. Im never going to another ROM. It has all of the bells and whistles, but with a stock lock screen. Every single ROM that has the lock mod on it has problems. I can vouch that it gives random reboots, lock screen ring changes colors on honeycomb, and the theming needs some major work. But that is just my opinion. Never knew I would've liked the transparent look.

why not get a lockscreen app for the lockscreen? I personally am on:
Calks v2.8.1
rogue kernel 1.4.1 (1.5 hitman would not OC for me)
EL29 Modem
and I have absolutely no issues.. Ive tried MiUi, blazer, strongsteves rom, and pretty much every rom in the development section with different kernels and even tested the quadrant scores, different OC settings, and calks beat them all hands down.. I notice a lot of devs on here share, if you notice Calkulin is everywhere!

I switch back and forth between Calk's and Starburst each time there is a new release. I don't theme and I don't even know how to test a quadrant. BUT, for normal everyday use, battery life, and smoothness of operation; I can't tell a difference between the two.
What is a distinctive like or dislike about either ROM that makes you prefer it over the other?
Switching back and forth is such a pain though when you have to redo all your widgets, shortcuts, reinstall all the apps, etc. I'm sticking with Calk's rom unless Starburst really does something to set itself apart. Right now I can barely tell the difference besides the theming...which doesn't matter that much to me since I love the ICS theme.

Nandroids are your friends. As well as TB.
This morning I odin'ed back to complete stock then ran the new script found in the Dev forum to root a stock E4GT w/o odin or cwm. Works like a charm. Leaves the phone/kernel completely stock but w/ root to be able to run your fav root aps.

CM9 vs. AOKP

Hey Guys,

anyways, enough chitter chatter that doesn't matter...
I'm sure that there are threads like this but I want different perspectives of the differences of the recent updates of CM9 & AOKP...

That's fixed on build 32
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Both are in their alpha stages, so of course be cautious when using them. I've been on CM Alpha 2 for 2 weeks now and it's been silky smooth with great battery life 15-17 hours.
Now I think I'm going to get a taste of AOKP and see what's all the hype about.
Personally, you can only try them yourself. Both are AOSP 4.0.4, and AOKP has more customization such as lockscreen, status bar, and nifty things. For everything else, you have to try it out yourself!

Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I've been using Nocturnal Venom AOKP for the past couple of days and today I tried AOKP Build 32. I love how much you can customize on it... especially with stuff like toggles, lock screen, battery bar, etc. Not really sure about CM9 because it was always "too risky" to try, but I think i'm sticking with AOKP-based ROMs.
I like AOKP! I want to use it badly....
Sent from my Epic Touch running Blazer Rom via xda premium
Aokp 32 is flawless for me so far. There's only 2 bugs I've found.
SMS doesn't send when character limit is over 160 (even with split messages option turned on and gosms doesn't fix it.) And the signal bars don't accurately display my signal strength.
Everything else is working and battery is the best I've had on any rom.

I REALLY liked AOPK but I had issues with apps not saving to USB. Everything else worked great, has several more customization options than cm9.

Archidroid was the first I found....then Philly.com...then several games....dunno why it happened but it did. Had the same result with the nocturnal venum ROM last night and TCP said it was an error he was working on. Think NV is based off AOKP so it had the same issue on both. TCP said it'd be fixed tonight so not a huge issue.

ICS recommendation for a bud of mine..

I got a buddy with an epic touch. He wants ics really bad. I own a tmo gs2 (I know I know :-/) I was wondering which of the ics roms you fine folks have flashed is most "fully functional" and good enough as a stable daily driver. My thanks in advance.

He could start with FE07 leak. It's ICS with TW and its pretty stable compared to some of the earlier leaks. It's an easy flash, too, thanks to sfhub's odin. You can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642564
That is a hard question to answer as everyone has a favorite for different reasons. They are all pretty stable. Calkulins E4GT 2 is one of the more stock looking with a few battery saving tweaks. Blend ICS "Goodness" has really nice themed ics look and has very similar tweaks. AOKP Roms are fairly stable abd have built in ROM Control which is very nice. I'm using HyDrA tablet hybrid ROM and its stable, but because of the dpi settings the market sees the phone as a tablet and you have to change your dpi to download regular apps from the market.

Another vote for fe07 leak then if your friend likes it send them here to figure it out on their own.
FE07 will be your best option for a beginner. Don't go to AOSP until source kernels are released. FE07 will be the most stable. CM9 is very stable too though.

The reason for this is because of the kernel for ICS not being released from Samsung/Sprint yet. It's pretty simple to do all the regular CWM functionality on an ICS based ROM though - Use Odin (or highly recommended: Mobile Odin from the play store, which doesn't require a PC) and put the el26 CWM kernel on your phone (it's found many places, like the AOKP OP for example). It wont boot up with this kernel so just boot into recovery and from there you can backup, flash themes, wipe things, and then to get back to your ROM simply flash an AOSP tweaked kernel - also readily available (in AOKP OP again).
Certainly a few more steps than we were used to on GB Roms but it's totally worth it to me. ICS is a massively better experience for me so the few hoops to jump through are worth it. When that source kernel hits (any day now) it will be the land of milk and honey.

What's your FAVORITE E4GT rom?

Just like the title says, it can be a gb/ics/jb rom, doesn't matter.
What's the rom that keeps you running back?
What's been the most reliable/fastest rom?
For me personally I have to say CM10 because I love JB. Coming in at a close second would be the Blu Kuban.
Aaaaand go....
I really liked Codename JB rom but the battery life wasn't good enough for everyday use. I know I will be back on that rom soon. In the meantime I have been on a vanilla aosp ICS rom for the past few weeks. Longest I have been on anything.

I've only had my phone since the ICS update....is a GB rom worth switching back to for battery/data speeds/general stability? If so, which one would you recommend? Just the stock EL29?

I certainly apologize. I have not seen this other thread you speak of. Furthermore, next time I create any kind of post I will tirelessly search for a same/similar one.
CNA for a JB rom
Universe rom, and currently ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz for a ICS rom
ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz is sweet because it has EVERY THING..... google now, samsung voice, JB lock screen........ GREAT ROM!

gingerbread is just way out dated as far as support/looks/ bells and whistles... but wat it lacks in looks it makes up with battery and stability.. everything works and you can't go wrong with it... but its just a rom I keep on my SD card cuz it will always work no matter wat..

Looks like the download link is bad. I've tried 3 times and they won't flash. The first one have me boot loop and the next 2 wouldn't even flash.

I don't really think this is a support thread for specific roms, however I'll try it now and report back.
Edit: Booted it up no problem.

What I meant was another thread like this, there have been several threads that were similar that have been closed. Everyone has their own opinion, yours will be different, millage may vary, blah blah blah.
No offense to you in any way, I just don't see this lasting long.

CM and MIUI have been my goto roms for any phone that's been supported. Of the 2 though, I'm partial to MIUI. Love the style of it (with ADW Ex launcher) and the customization.
