My buddy at work has an epic and loves it besides the fact that data sucks. I told him about the amazing work people here do and how he should try custom software. Does anyone know how to root the epic on stock gingerbread? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

All ROMs for the Epic are good and stable. Go to the development forum and read through the first post on each to see the features they have to see if they will suit your needs.

My friend has a Fascinate and saw how my phone runs on SRF. Do they have a Rom with similar labels of quality and support? I'd ask Fascinate users but they may not know the wonders if SRF.

I would say that most of us don't keep up with what fascinate has/doesn't have.
I am sure they have plenty of good roms, there are only so many different mods that can really be done. It's all in the incorporation of mods.

Wondering when ACS custom rom will be out. I know its already in testing and @darren said it was looking pretty good which should be obvious since ACS developers do a crazy good job but just hoping to get a little more info on the release i know no eta's are given. MY ET4g is still completely stock waiting for that rom to come out and im rooting it.
Tweet or pm an acs person
They have their own site so maybe you can search there

Im loving the development work that is going on for our beautiful TMobSGS2, but I'm surprised I havent seen a ICS port yet, especially with the Galaxy Nexus images being released.
Is anyone working on this in secret, or are there any other ICS roms that happen to work on our phone?
I would truly just love a rooted stock ICS rom. thats my dream at the moment. I dont know how to improve on ICS except switches in the notification bar, which is easy enough.
I doubt we will have a good working ICS before atleast a month from now. That is if we even get a stable one.
ICS came out two weeks ago on galaxy nexus...if you really want it then buy a galaxy nexus.

Are there going to be any pure ics roms made for galaxy s2. Currently using a vibrant with pure ics running, love pure ics just want a faster phone. Saw recent video running ics on galaxy s2 with no visible changes nothing like nexus. I suppose it its because of touch wiz. Is there a dev working on pure ics like what is on nexus? Trying to figure which phone to get. Thanks for your comments in advance.

theres gotta be a million people working on a rom for it, the sources are out.
just below your thread is posted about how it's coming officially. If someone doesn't make it stable before the end of q1 [pfffft] at least samsung will have it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402463&page=2
There should be some roms soon. Best you may be able to hope for is a CM based rom. Not pure ICS but pretty close
Where did that ics port thread go?
I know we had one in here but I can't seem to find it? Did it not go well?

Well considering all the idiots in this forum... you tell me if it went well -_-
Cause ignorant @ssholes wont shut up and troll on the stupid thread. So Rev probably requested it to be deleted. Honestly non of us in the community should get a developement anymore cause as a community we all should be one... Not a majority being trolls and wont shut up. And have a small lil percent of grateful people. It doesnt matter what hes been doing in the past.. You find lil things just to fraud a dude and you bash him for trying. Thats when its really dissappointing how immature adultls are still out there. MATURE A LIL AND GET AN IDEA WHAT XDA IS ALL ABOUT

at least he tried. we lack super devs that some other devices have but I hate seeing someone get flamed for trying to do something when people flamming just sit on xda and leach peoples work with no appreciation and troll around just making some of these threads a horrid place.
Could this thread be deleted. How does complaining about others add to the forum.

Welcome, enjoy your new phone. I highly doubt you'll miss the Evo 3D at all (I don't).
You've chosen the best phone and forum for keeping up to date and in the know.

Just came from an Evo 3D last month, can't believe I tolerated it for as long as I did.
Welcome to the E4GT family! Just a couple things to know 1) Stay away from ROM Manager 2) Stay away from CWM Touch or any temp recoveries 3) Be very careful when using an ICS recovery (for now atleast til all the kinks are fixed) such as Rogue Repacks. Have fun!

Rom manager great for flash if used to boot into cwm recovery when using a steady repacked kernel. Never wipe data or reset in recovery when using an ics recovery. Use calks zip to wipe. Partitions changed in ICS and you will brick your phone

Hey guys. I have an altell galaxy s2 and i have absolutely no idea why this thing is still running 2.3.6. As far as i can tell, its most similar to the epic touch 4G. Im just wondering if any of you guys know how to go about rooting this phone and what Roms need to be flashed to it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Google searches have really done nothing but confused me. Most of them lead to post where people complain about the phone not being updated.

Well thanks for pointing that out. Though I never herd of a altell variant of the galaxy s II
Edit: Did some research for that model number and its not a known model number for major carriers of the GSII, though it had in parentheses "(U.S Cellular)"
Laughing at you while eating jellybeans
....
Yes. It's the USC variant. I'm assuming Alltel is using the same one.
AFAIK that variant isn't quite the same as our E4GT. I know there was some ROMs by a former XDA member who's name shall not be named or you get an instant permaban from XDA... not really but it adds a cool drama effect right?
Check out the archived development over at Android Central.

I've found a thread with instructions on getting cm9 on this phone. I still can't believe the spell version is so unsupported. Its a galaxy s2, I figured there would be plenty of ROMs.
