Ok I am about to ROOT my Epic 4g for the first time and I was hoping someone could link me to a great ROM I should use for top performance as well as some incredible themes.
It is gingerbread EL30

To be honest, all the ROMs out for our phone are pretty darn good. I think the first thing you need to ask yourself is if you want to keep touchwiz features, or go with something like CM7/9 or MIUI.
If you want something close to stock, but with a few tweaks, CleanGB is going to be your best bet. One of the ROMs that's a bit older, but one of my favorite ones is the ERA EI22 based ROM, Legendary is the name of it.
If you want one of the CM ROMs, then CM7 will give you the best battery life, but CM9 is the most recent. Not great on battery though as that OS is supposed to run with a minimum RAM which our phone doesn't even have. So that's slightly to be expected.
As for themes, you gotta check out the themes section and see what you like for yourself. Same thing with ROMs. Check a few of them out and see what suits you best.
Head over to the Development section and the Themes section and peruse around for a bit. You'll certainly find something you like. With the devs we have now, this is seriously one of the best phones out there right now.
Hayzoos is totally on point with his answer. I would prioritize on what you want from your phone. What is #1 #2 etc..
If you like the stock touchwiz and your main priority is to stay as close to stock with a theme then roll with CleanGB and get a great theme, there's plenty.
If your #1 priority is theme then goto the themes section and find the one you like best and use the appropriate ROM that supports it.
If you are sick of your stock touchwiz then you have 3 choices. CM7 has the best battery life and you can get themes from the market and change it on a whim. However CM9 is the newest build of Android(Ice Cream Sandwich). There is still a couple awesome themes but they will need to be flashed through recovery just like the EL30 themes.
MIUI has probably the best customization but always keep in mind with our AOSP builds(MIUI, CM7, CM9) Sprints Visual Voicemail won't play nice and if you depend on it then go with the EL30 roms/themes. There are of course alternative voicemail options but it will take a few to set it up correctly.
No matter what you choose you are going to learn a new respect for what our device can do so don't get frustrated and happy flashing!!

Okay I just finished rooting it...didn't realize how simple it was. Honestly, I'm looking for the coolest looking, yet best performance hardware and battery ROM I can get. I want to be impressed by what I can now do with my phone.
Also another question, when I go to load my ROM and theme, do I have to factory reset my phone? If so, will I lose my sprint service information or is that saved? I don't have any of the sprint account information so I don't want to do anything to jeapordize losing service.
If you were in my shoes, what ROM and theme would you suggest I try first? Make me go >_>

Try AOKP b29. Flash it and leave your phone alone a bit. It will automatically reboot probably 2 times during the process. Then reboot recovery again and flash GAPPS.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
"Cool looking" is relative to you. If you want to stick with Gingerbread, then for best battery life grab CM7 then download some themes from the Play store (market) to throw into the theme changer.
If you want to stick with a TouchWiz ROM and like greens, then CleanGB is for you. If you like blues then The People's ROM has that. There are a bunch of different colored themes in the Themes subforum with screenies in the threads.
Can anyone answer my question about will I lose my sprint account information? Will I jeapordize my service?
Can anyone link me to a ROM that will work with EL30? 2.3.6? A ROM with fast performance and amazing battery life. Just link me!
But please tell me before I do any of this that I will not lose my service or anything related to entering any sprint account Information.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
If you are already rooted you will lose nothing. Your Sprint service is never in jeapordy unless you do something horribly wrong. If you have saved your contacts on Google you can have them restored on any android phone or firmware. You did not specify if you liked Touchwiz or not, what kind of colored themes...no one can make these decisions for you. In Development is all the ROMs...they say so in the title. Most recent are always at the top. They are ALL good. Save yourself and everyone else some trouble and at least read the first few posts of each and then decide. The Developers went through a lot of their free time for no pay to make the ROMs and write about all the features. Give them the courtesy of reading about them and hitting the Thanks button for them.

No theme manager in cm9, that is CM7. AOSP ROMs do not come with all the Touchwiz niceties. You have to look through threads like the CM9 tips thread in General forum. This is why I linked you to clean GB. Now you would need the MTD version.

Please understand that you just converted your phone from bml to Mtd. You can not just flash any rom now. You can flash mtd roms. If you wish to go back to bml you have to use Odin and restore partitions. I am just telling you this because if you attempt to flash a bml rom you will boot loop the phone or get stuck at the boot screen and complicate yourself. There is a thread specifically for the voicemail and the ported vvm app from the et4g phone which will work with cm9. When using cm9 you have to go into the dialer settings and make sure your phone number is listed in the voicemail settings and not *86. It is to your advantage to read all of the old alpha cm9 thread and this new one currently available. You will learn a lot about cm9 and you will appreciate it even more

First things first for future references please post questions in the Q&A section. I understand this is development but this thread is for rom,fixes,and mods most of the instructions and such will be inside the threads. Now that you know here is the answer most roms will work with cwm all you have to do is download them and put them in the root of your sd card. After doing that reboot to recovery make supre you wipe and wipe once again and then go ahead and flash your new rom reboot phone and boom follow instructions. Make sure you back up your apps but I recomend not to restore system apps or data you can do it but sometimes it causes problems.
I must warm you do not pay attention if you get some trolls in here but make sure for the future you post in the righ sections

Using Ra 2.3( dont be alarmed when u see screen pixelation by the way-it's an onscreen bug that wont harm ur phone).
U can run any rom froyo 2.2 roms or 2.3 gingerbread roms.
U don't like CM7 -me either its too plain looking for me- I use my phone as a phone and media player- I don't get anything out of overclocking it - all that does is eat battery faster.
The rom I use is SNS 1.5.... it is snappy, does everything that I need in a rom including masking my wireless tethering(I was using some fancy newer 3.0 and 2.1 sense roms loaded with that ciq sprint spyware and got a "cease and desist letter from sprint about my usage! Since sns 1.5 -has ciq elements purposely stripped out- I'm in the pink without Sprint all up in my business...
Best rom for EVO 4G
Hello,
I tried a lot of roms on my evo but I found the perfect setup for me:
**********
Phone: HTC EVO 4G, hwr 003
ROM: gingerbread-evo-deck-1.3d from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078558
Kernel: SavagedZen-2.2.1-CFS-HAVS
Launcher: GoLauncherEx
GPX fixer: GPS_Supersonic_FIX_Flash3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1311002339
SetCPU settings:
Main: 1075200-245000 InteractiveX Set on Boot
Profiles:
- Temp > 40C 245-245 PowerSave Priority 100
- Battery < 25% 245-245 PowerSave Priority 95
- Battery < 70% 883-245 InteractiveX Priority 65
- Battery < 85% 998-245 InteractiveX Priority 55
- Charging 1190-245 InteractiveX Priority 45
Note that I do not use an Screen Off profile (Thanks to Rodope) because InteractiveX have it inside.
**********
I want to share this setup because cannot find any issues, everything working very fast.
If you aren't super happy w aosp try a senseless rom w more or aggressive freedom v.9. You will get that polished feel and look and all the HTC goodies.
Worth a shot.
One of my FAVORITE roms that i ran for a really long time was the ava rom. Heres the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049750
I would always go back to that rom from any others i tried. I say definitely give thag one a go!
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
CM7 is king baby! I suggest u try a nightly. It has so many nice features built in. To be honest though all the AOSP roms are very similar. U just have to find the one that you like best. I just tried VaelPak and it is pretty nice. It has one nice unique feature...u can actually undervolt it through the settings.
Im getting my epic tomorrow and i need help, which roms do you guys think are the best for the epic 4g touch? or kernels or any other mods please leave your suggestions and opinions.
While there has been progress in the new ek02 rom's, including the android 2.3.6 update, I would suggest phantomhackers blazer rom, its fast and stable and very good on battery. Good start while the new 2.3.6 rom's get updated

I really like Calkulin's ROM. It's close to stock, which to me is an advantage, but includes some sensible additions. The latest version is based on the most recent leaked update and includes a modified kernal with a ClockWorkMod-based recovery.
I'd recommend new users check out qbking77's videos in this thread. They were a great help to me when getting started.
Enjoy your new phones!

The "AOS bug" is not ROM related. Read the forums here for an answer to what it is and how to "fix" it.
As far as the "best" ROM it's all subjective but I would go for Calk's 2.0. The man knows what he is doing.
I have always used stock kernel and stock rooted ROM for this phone. This had been the best user experience I have had in an Android. I am so happy with battery life I don't want to change.
Are there any stable e4gt roms that are better than stock ek02 with everything working cuz battery life is a poor trade off for working features in my opinion. Example if wimax is not working or tether to get more battery life whats the point

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.
IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...
no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.
Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)
yes yes i know what a noobie question. i just got the epic 4g. i came from evo4g. yes i love this phone its so awesome. i just rooted it with qbking77 tutorial. shout out qbking77 your the best man your such a great help. so back to what i was saying im looking for a stock rom that has tweaks to it for battery and performance. i want to keep everything stock tho i love it!! im really digging the touchwiz launcher its awesome but it can lag. well for me it can. if you guys can help me out i would really appreciate it. thanks guys.
-Ninja25
btw here are my stuff:
firmware v: 2.3.6
kernal v:2.6.35.7
build #:GINGERBREAD.EL30
im still getting used to things with the epic.
Clean gb is a good choice Also there is an mtd version which is a different partition map and will open up your internal storage to 676mb .
Anyways clean is as stock as it gets a good kernel would be in order as well so shadow kernel or the samurai kernel will be sufficient I run the samurai kernel because of the awesome tweaks hut shadow is just as smooth.

im so completely lost between mtd and rom?
Is there a kernel i can just flash right over the normal stock rom? maybe for battery tweaks and performance??
I recommend cm7 or cm9. Cm7 is more stable and has more mods but cm9 is on android 4.0.

Not really there aren't really any stock kernels like that besides you need to root anyways to even access any undervolting abilities.

How far do you want to go with you phone?
Are you interesting in just adding a rooted kernel and leaving everything else stock?
Or are you looking to go all out and get the best setup possible to get all that you can out of your phone?
Or are you looking for something in between?
If you are looking just to add the basics, install Clockworkmod recovery, and a stock rooted kernel
If you are looking for the bleeding edge (will require frequent updates) install CM9 and the latest Samurai kernel
If you are looking for something inbetween, I LOVE the Legendary ROM, as it has been superb for me, before I made the move to CM9
I'm basically looking for a stock kernel that will give me good performance and long lasting battery. I was basically looking for a rom that has everything stock just little tweaks to the system and a stable kernel. I love the touchwiz interface I came from sense and I'm not trying to get rid of it.

Install clockworkmod recovery 5 (if you already have it, don't worry) because it wont work with ACS recovery. Then you can get touchwiz launcher as a flashable from the CleanGB rom's thread. You also have to search my rom's (marcusantROM) thread and look for the GPS fix. It is setting permissions to a file.

No. It is downloading es file explorer and setting the right permissions to gpsd. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22055196&postcount=6

good looking.
i cant find the touchwiz launcher flash? do you know what page its in??
As title says. Its not my primary device so i want an opinion from someone current... Shes had a lot of problems with LOS... Thanks

Los is most likely caused by the modem. I suggest running the el29 modem with whatever ICS ROM you choose.

Ok but what about the latest stable rom.

If you want rock solid stability I suggest running blazer 4.1, which is gingerbread. But if ICS is what you want, you could run stock ff18. In addition, all of the custom ROMs based on ff18 should be more or less the same in terms of stability. Choose whichever one you like.

You could give Blu Kuban a try.
Also, give different modems a try but make sure she always updates her PRL & Profile after every modem flash, then give it time to settle in. If that one doesn't get her speeds up, try another using the same method above. Sometimes you have to try the whole lot before you find what works best in your area. Again, update PRL & Profile after every modem flash, don't just give it a few minutes or hours to prove its worth, give it a day or so then flash another if that one doesn't do well.
Whats stable on here for one may not be for another. I use CM9 nightlies with no issues at all. Honestly if you want a rom for someone that does not care about flashing go GB throw a theme on it and let them enjoy life.
Anything else you will find yourself tinkering with it. although I am on the nightly from 6/21 and have not looked back.
I'm a big fan of tFF18. I find it stable and nimble. Easy to work with and good theming.
AOKP is treating me really well

Same here. I've been following the AOKP builds from when they were first brought here up till now.
CM 9
EDIT: No matter what ICS rom you choose, be VERY careful to read, understand and follow the installation instructions. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a very expensive brick. Also, check your MD5s.
-----------
I've been using CM 9 since v.A5, and I'm quite pleased with it. I can't say I've had stability problems with it, but the setup process can be tricky.
You have to get a GPS lock and update your Profile / PRL either right before upgrading or using their multiboot rom option (which worked perfectly for me).
Also, you need to remember to install the google apps separately, but I believe all AOSP roms have a similar requirement.
However, once you've passed these initial hurdles, the ROM runs great. I have no complaints and use it as my daily driver. I use Maps, 4G, Netflix, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and so on. My family teases me that whenever I'm not in front of a computer, I'm in front of my phone, so that should give you some insight on how thoroughly I use it.
Currently I have been using touch of sgsIII rom for about a week with no issues at all it has the voice talk and music player and messaging from the samsung galaxy s III and I am really liking the feel of this rom the only issue is that the sound effects are not working in the music player but I can personally deal with that til they find a fix other than that great work team rejects on this rom and I recommend it to anyone. But like said above one rom can work good for one and not another so give it a try and see how it works out for you.
Ok. Thanks for all your replies. I need to start downloading...

I have four roms I rotate between, restoring and updating as new releases come out. I have had nothing but great experiences with all these, sans the occasional burp. Once I had them set up the way I like, all have been trouble free. If I had to pick the high points of each I would say Agat's rom is the best all around with great speed and battery life. Venum Ice has an original color scheme and lots of bells and whistles. M'ICS feels very similar to Ice to me but has a Cyan color theme. Blu Kuban is like a different animal in that it has an updater built in that lets you change tons of visual and functional settings.

Let me leave you with this... If I had to pick one of these and never flash again, my choice would prolly change any day you asked me. All are rock solid and well supported by great devs that are very active and responsive to their base. I can honestly say you can't go wrong with any of these.

As for looking for a custom rom with a minimal theme, I would recommend Agat63's tFF18
