[Q] Best Epic Rom ?? Your input PLZ

I have a friend who has an epic. He asked me to mod it. I have the Vibrant and other GSM phones, So I really need some input on which of the Rom out there are the Best performers/ most stable and any other thoughts you might have. Also, a question There are no DL kernel roms for the Epic yet?, and if not, you have the latest December release modems ?
Go ahead and give your fav-rom a review !!
Thanks you in advance for your input

Since i posted first It would be logical to refer to the other posting as a redundant posting
I would prefer some specifics comparing how one works vs other.....

DK28 is the newest stuff we have. Nothing from December. :-(
I prefer Bonsai4All with ext4. You can do Bonsai4All (and many of the other ext4 roms) without switching the file system, too, if you don't want to mess with that.

I'd also recommend Bonsai4all. Great improvements everywhere.

Can people put screenshots thanks

Because it isn't finished yet. Video playing and recording are broken, while the camera doesn't have full functionality yet. Plus, it's still prebeta, although it's been pretty stable for me.
I suspect if the user is asking this question, they want something stable and are unwilling to take the time to try to see what's their personal favourite.
I recommend Bonsai4All and NebulaROM. They have been the most stable, have given me the best battery life, and the least amount of issues.

Video playing and the camera do work. Just no video recording. Honestly can't remember the last time I took a video though.
I don't know, good enough for my daily driver. I guess the little things may be more important to others though.

I like bonsai and quantum. Both are good.

stability wise:
Dl18 roms
1. Baked snacks 1.6 undisputed
2. Andromeda Galaxy 1.1.1a
3. Syndicate Rom
2 a 3 can be swapped
The dk28 froyo leak has bugs you might not want to deal with like if you dont flash the modem, lock gps, then flash dk28 the gps doesnt work... when you call ppl often you hear nothing unless you turn on/off speaker phone real quick.. and other crap thats not really worth the added flash support (youtube app still works on the dl18 roms just webpage flash videos dont)
But if you -really- want a dk28 rom i'd go with Bonsai4All themed. Its sexy. If you don't feel like dealing with EXT4 or CWM3 then epic experience is nice too.

Its funny how BThomas can lol at my post,but cant beat any of the scores Ive posted...Im down for a challenge...to BThomas,I know you know these ROMs all have the sae guts,but I use some on the edge stuff that just works in my ROM to provide the best speed and battery life.

Are there any ROMs that actually work

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

..is this a serious question?
If so.. Just check out the devolpment section. Try out using calkulins ROM, his battery script works well.

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!

Have not tried unamed yet

+1 for Calkulin's roms. Good battery life, stable, so far I have not encountered any issues.

I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

No, none of them actually work...stay on stock...

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!

All the ROMS that are built on TW source are complete - this excludes CM7 and MIUI which are AOSP. REALLY.

Got to agree with the previous poster that suggested you just stay on stock. I'd prefer not having to see posts/threads like this in the future....
For the record however, I've been happy with Calk's, Unnamed AND for quite a bit of time now (a whole month or so!) Blend is my current Daily and it is brilliant.
But you.... you stay on stock....

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)

[Q] Pause-resume and freezing during gameplay

I am talking about Gingerbread, not ICS.
Every android game I play, especially graphics-intensive ones, begin to intermittently freeze up and go to their 'pause' screens between every few seconds or every few minutes (depends on the game). I always need to hit 'resume' to get back into whatever game I'm playing. This has never happened before, even though I'm playing some of the same games I've used since the EI22 Samsung update (and associated custom ROMs).
I've had this error on every ROM I've used since my upgrade to EL30. This includes the completely stock EL30 on BML, RandomRom Thunderhawk IV EL30 on MTD, and the AOSP FC09 on MTD; I've used the same kernel on my phone since January (Shadow 3.0+), but now with it built on EL30. I am running Android 2.3.6 and reluctant to try CM9 or 7 until all kinks have been worked out; I need my phone to always at least be able to work as a phone/text/photo/email/internet/GPS device, and based on the development forums, that's currently far from guaranteed.
I've tried tweaking my CPU governor, completely shutting off overclocking programs, and even using a RAM manager with absolutely no luck.
Does anyone have the same issue, and if you've got a workaround, what is it? Any other kernels or completely reliable ROMs I should try?

cm7 would be nice, but i was under the impression that there were still 'little things here and there' (i think that was the exact quote from one of the reserved posts) that needed fixing. lol i hope that doesn't mean problems with things like 4G connectivity after WiFi switching, video playback etc. I don't have enough posts yet to ask there, even though i've been a lurker for almost a year, so i'm forced to ask here. thanks for replying!
will kernelsanderv5 work for ROMs other than cm7? i'll search for it, too.

It was great, except that it would slow up, lock up, and finally freeze up after opening several apps in succession.. or browsing image-heavy websites. sorry :\
thanks also for posting a poll for what we'd like to see fixed in cm9 - once i can actually spare some time to mess around (and once i get past this damn 10-post minimum), i'll try it and add to the responses.

SUCCESS!! I ended up installing the current EL30 TW Samurai kernel instead of the older one I had on my SD card from a few months back, and boy does it kick ass. It has a higher framerate cap than the shadowkernel, and doesn't freeze up annoyingly during games. I have a feeling that it is because of something called a 'memory deadlock fix' that was included in the samurai version from last month, but not mentioned at all in the shadowkernel. Thanks, everyone, for your input. You guys/gals are great! BTW, I've stuck to qbking's amazingly professional RandomROM and now have absolutely ZERO issues of ANY sort. This includes 4G/WiFi switching, MMS, LED, and even little things like GPS locktimes. It is by far better in every way than stock, too, especially with the keyboard fix. Props to you, qbking - especially for making everything work so well while being a new dad!

Just to warn you, I got horrid 3g speeds with fk23...But I think it could be an area thing...

fi27 and f127 modem with agat fi27 v0.6.8 with the rom call lightweight 0.5 its great I get around 9 hrs heavy uses sometimes when I im bored I switch to a backup of jb fk09 tweaked signed I get about 8 hrs heavy uses

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just wondering, can you define 'heavy'? I personally use my phone at school all the time, I listen to music through headphones about 1/2 of my total day(4 hours or so) and I will also spend a lot of time texting, browsing the web, and using apps that use data. I'm honestly constantly on my phone, and will have to charge it around 3 times per day.

Right now I'm on miui trying it out for the first time getting used to no app drawer. Favorite ROM for a daily (if I had one lols) would have to be Living Rejects. I flash it at least twice a week. Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

When I was running MIUI my only problem was not being able to shut off the capacitive lights. I had no problems with bootloops or anything of that sort.

I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.
