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.

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!
Welcome! hope you enjoy the et4g community(i know i do) .

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

Look for the EL29 restore thread. After the restore instructions are instructions and a link for the EL29 kernel repacked with CWM. Sorry xda app is fc'ng when I try to copy the link. Stay away from ROM manager and CWM touch recovery. If you're going to flash cm9 make sure you flash cm7 from Rootzwiki first to get the original CWM recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Also, if coming back from ICS to GB use sfhub's EL29 restore method. It's the safest way to revert and you can restore a GB nandroid once you reinstall the repacked EL29 kernel.

Be very careful when you come back from ICS to a non ICS rom. Many bricks have occurred! Read the instructions good.

Just got mine today -- had my NS4G stolen last week and had the option to switch, so I did.
I just need to get away from Touchwiz. As far away from Touchwiz as possible. May throw AOKP on as I'm familiar (used it on NS4G and also on GT10.1).
Any other suggestions?

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.
THIS ROM IS STRICTLY A TEST ROM. IT IS CONFIRMED BOOTING SO THE RISK OF BRICK IS EXTREMELY LOW. I REBASED THIS ROM OFF OF FD24 AND IS MORE TOUCHWIZ WITH SEVERAL PORTED WIDGETS FROM SONY XPERIA.
Known bugs:
You tell me?
Confirmed Working:

Once i get a confirmation the bugs are fixed i will release in the dev section.

Ya I agree with you. This is my only device and if I were to brick it I would be F**ked and my wife would KILL ME while i was sleeping. I thought i would at least put the option out there.

If no one wants to take the risk I will have no choice but to suck it up and risk my own death at the hands of my wife. Lord help me

Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.

Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].

Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.
Alright fellas come on now this how you show a new guy what the epic touch family is about lol naw but seriously I understand where you both are coming from and I've seen product around here a lot so I know he wouldn't steer me wrong but I see where yall coming from and thanks

Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.

I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.

Also to the OP, try out Blu Kuban if you're still looking for a good ROM.
I saw there was a someone developing it for our device some months back but it seems to be dead now & is not fully functional. Maybe I'm crazy but I would still love to use CM7 in the midst of all this ICS/Jelly Bean craziness I loved it on my DX

Our developers have moved on to cm10 now bro. I guess there is no Interest in cm7

Cm7 never got full support on our device. And then ICS came out and cm9 was the next big thing.

Dude I just logged on to make a thread asking the same question! I'm sure cm7 on this phone would have been bad ass! Sadly it probably won't happen til later on down the road after this phone is old and done and someone decides to tackle it for fun.

Honeycomb. It was never open sourced but cm8 was reserved for it.

Honestly if wimax was working I'd gladly take the jump onboard cm7 for awhile. Never got to experience cm7 on this phone. Not to mention this phone was built to run gingerbread!
Cm6 on E4GT?!?!

I wonder why they waited all the way until ICS was released to open source HC.
I had Cm7 running for a couple days, can you say butter! It was so nice to have a ROM like that. And the themes was a bonus. It only needs a little more work in my opinion.

I honestly thought I was going to get flamed like hell for posting this lol . I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not ready to let go of CM7

I see no reason to be flamed for that! Cm7 is not that old and it was great and we epic touch users never really got to get into it as much as we liked.

CM7 brings back bad memories for this community. People keep asking about it like twice a week too.
Bubby and that who what when where why. Guy apparently ripped people off and that was about the end of CM7 on the E4GT. CM9 took focus and CM10 is dividing it a little now.

yeah I had a feeling something bad happened with that kid, I would never wanna bring back bad memories. I just like the rom.

I believe the source is still there. Not sure how hard it would be but with GB source being available for this phone if someone wanted they could compile it. I'm sure it would get some love. There is always people out there that like to run older builds for fun. Hell I saw cupcake being built for one phone. Can't remember which but I thought it would be pretty cool to try it.

I think T.C.P. has a cm7 that he made himself. At least that's how I took it! Just no 4g
