i wanna go back to marcussant rom ei22 bcuz it kicks ass and the non cm7 and miui roms for el30 just dont cut it im hopeing that fb15 will change that though so if im not mistaken el30 and ei22 are exactly the same just el30 has no ciq right?
EI22 and EL30 are different, yes the major difference is No CIQ. However the UI is different and there are a few other minor tweaks. As far as going back to EI22 why would you want to? I see why maybe because you like Marcusants rom but he does have a beta version of his V4 build out just look in his thread the download link should be there. Also have you tried Clean GB? It's a very stable rom and if you love TW you will like it. I'm currently running that and the MTD TW Samurai kernel. My phone is fast and super smooth. And the other thing about EL30 was that makes it so special it was an official build.

i discovered a conflict between el30 rom and ei22 kernel. i was getting a "usb connected" error frequently.. i got so tired of it that i re-odined with repartition.

you make a rlly good point mk well i just cant deal with the generic audio drivers miui and cm7 and cm9 comes with i lovemy music and it makes my dj headphones sound like dollar store headphones clean gb doesnt hve enough tweakage to handle all the headset modifications i use
I haven't seen that error I've been using the Samurai kernel that EB put out for TW roms back in Jan. It wasn't really EI22 or EL30 specific. So IMO it can be used with either. When EL30 dropped I decided to hop on board because I wanted fresh stuff to flash lol. Oh and to the op until Marcusant makes his new v4 available you will need to have a launcher replacement. The TW launcher on his beta rom force closes. So make sure you have a replacement launcher as default and when you advance restore your data you will be good to go.

I use an application called Volume+. It works very well and increases the sound and loudness of our phones. However I found the same problem you did when on CM9 the clarity of the sound is distorted. So I switched back from CM9 and went back to CLean GB. I also use the beats audio port and it works amazing. I have high end headphones and when they're plugged in they sound amazing. So maybe try the Volume+ app and beats audio port. That might help you achieve the studio quality sound you want. Be forwarned though YMMV.

Here it is enjoy!! Make sure you have a replacement launcher that you can use to replace the TW launcher. His beta version is very soild I have used it in the past few weeks and its a nice rom. I am looking forward to when he puts out a new version.

i cant get a different launcher to flash i copied adw to system/app in marcusant v4 and it wont flash over with it
Do you have a nandroid backup of a TW rom that you had installed on your phone previously? If you do and had an alternate launcher like say Go Launcher or Zeam or some of the others then just flash that rom back on to your phone and set the launcher to default. Then make a new nandroid in clockwork and then reinstall the v4 beta and advance restore your data and that should get you back on track.

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!

ROM Ho
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!
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.

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
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

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

So I'm looking for a vanilla ics ROM. touch wiz must die!
Trim and minimal with 4g tether.
Everything works and it's stable.
I'll settle for gingerbread if I have to but I would prefer the latest and greatest.
you're probably wondering why I'm not doing my own homework and figuring this out on my own, well I should be. I would too if I wasnt working so much, and my work doesn't allow me to net surf. Lame excuse but hey I'm honest.
Can someone link me to the awesome or am I asking too much?
There are no stable ICS ROMs yet.
Any GB ROM you choose will work. And you can theme it to look exactly like ICS.
I used Blazer ROM with ACS' ICS theme. The ROM had the 4G Sprint Hotspot hack built in, and if you choose an alternate launcher you can get rid of TW - ADW EX with Kovdev's ICS theme (from the Market) works great.
Good luck.
In my experience right now the 2 best roms out are Phantom Hackers Blazer rom and StrongSteve's odexed blue. They are all great but those 2 seem to be the most stable and smoothest running on my phone. Also everything works with those 2. Miui Is nice and I am dying to try it but it still has some bugs and with my roms I need EVERYTHING to work even if I don't use a certain feature that often.
well thank you both. before i posted this thread i used calkins ics rom which eats up batter and doesnt seem to work all that well. and ill try blazer rom as soon as i figure out how to get my cwm recovery back.
weird when i have flashed roms on htc phone the recovery is usually left alone and flashed separately.
oh well.
You're better off with the stability of an official release from that has been tweaked by a dev. Leaks are flaky and usually never without something not working. I like blazer 4 with a different theme.

So what we're Reeeeally trying to say is, They're all great roms. You'll just have to try them until you find the one that suits you...(meanwhile, behind the facade of an innocent sounding phone hacker,drlzanej is underhandedly trying to create another "Flashoholic". dun,,,,dun dundun, duuun)

I'm defiantly a flashaholic. That's the biggest problem. There are many ROM's out there that I've tried. I prefer a sense 3.5 ROM but it lacks 4G among other things. I put her on the MikG ROM and it seems to be running fine. I had a stock OTA on there but the phone kept getting FC's however; I recently found that she's been in Titanium Backup removing files that she has no idea interact with the OS. Silly wife, tweaks are for peeps!
Don't know if this is solved it not...but If you want sense I recommend Tommy tomatoes classic, for soso it's decks all the way...find one that works with a2sd and your set

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.
Cm9 a4 works perfect for me

Seems like any old honkee can make a ROM, nowadays.. I mean, they work their asses off, and that's great, but I'm looking for a daily driver.
I hate touchwiz, entirely. Does anyone know of and recommend an ALL ICS ROM that's worth flashing? I would try Alpha 4 CM9, but the sound of trying an alpha ROM doesn't appeal to me..

lol cm9 is a aosp rom.. and its in alpha only because we dont have source yet so they cant implement all cm features but everything just about works.. currently im on calks ics rom.. you can disable twiz launcher and use stock. im using sgs3 launcher ux.. either way an aosp rom is as close as youll get to pure ics since it removes touchwiz components

The dev's here have put a lot of hard work into the roms that we have. Cm9 and aokp are good enough to be daily drivers in my opinion. It doesn't even sound like you attempted to try them.

I have tried a few, and they all seem to have one bug that throws me. Like, for instance, the no mount bug. Have to use root directory to set up your external sd, and most of the time, it didn't work.. :banghead:

I'll get right on that! Good idea.

What kind of bugs do you get, though?

Yeah, but I would like the pure ics experience. I hate touchwiz dialer and call screen, and I'm not fond of the launcher, so I use apex. I only like the clock app, really.. lol.

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.

Seriously? That rom is WAY too cluttered with crap for what this guy is looking for.

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.]

I had JUST saw that in my news feed on Facebook! That would be lovely.
Give it a few hours, someone will port it. Hahahaha!

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.
