i forgot about gingerbread o_o - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

i've been so caught up with aokp, codename, gummy, and cm9 that completely forgot about gingerbread in my search for a stable rom with good battery life where everything works and is almost as quick as ICS. on calk's v3.0, better battery life than any ics aosp rom will give, and there are absolutely no issues with sdcard or market or gps or cameras. albeit, it's definitely not as pretty, and i miss the hell out of my apex launcher (there are no comparable gb launchers), and the rom's almost triple in size o_o. if you're someone who values a fully functioning phone with awesome battery life, dont forget about your roots!

Agreed on all counts, except this: the ICS versions of gapps. I can never go back.

this is true, ICS gapps is difficult to give up.

It doesn't looked anymore shopped than any real screen shot lol. I mean what do you see? A badly compressed jpeg with no or wiped exif..
Set your screen to the longest possible timeout or to never turn off and then display something black since its AMOLED. Can get some epic screen on times while doing nothing. Extended batteries help as well. I could easily double the screen on time i get to 4-5 hours doing so. Not sure about 7 ive never tried.

No, you should just use it more . Of course you will get great life if you don't use it for hours.. lol

Did you notice the 5+ display time? That means his phone screen was on for over 5 hours, check your screen time and it'll likely be less. Overall he actually had his phone on quite a bit really.
Why does it say your battery is at 45%? Are you using an extended battery?

Huh. Good pickup. The battery icon says 45%, but the battery graph indicates < 10% battery. Things don't add up... which usually means BS, but we'll see what his explanation is.
pcmanager's screen shots seem like the real deal though.

Cm9 tablet ui mod

I saw this before but is there one that work with cm9 alpha6?

There's a pretty high demand for low dpi and tablet ui, I think cm should work on it as an option that would work natively

We had the tablet UI mod for alpha 3 then the dev quit updating it.

Tablet mode for CM9 Alpha6+ thanks to this guy ^^^^^^ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613742
I saw that thank you. But I have no idea what to do...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
on that Tablet UI thread,you can sift through the pages and find a flashable zip version for CM9 ALpha 6...that's if you don't like to use adb to do your deeds...I'm going to just flash it in recovery right after I flash the rom then gapps....let me know if it works out for you bub!
This worked great.....can't say thank you enough

Can you use this with themes like Purple Kush (which is the cat's pajamas, btw!)? I'm also running a nightly, are they still compatible?

Sure. When I was using the tab mod, most themes worked flawlessly.

Haha, I saw this started a few days ago and decided not to start on the burn wagon. I love the responses of those who did and by those who did it.
There is one theme that I know doesn't work on the tablet. That's the Crimson Cobalt for CM9 and AOKP...that one will send all kinds of crap spinning.

Cm7

does anybody know if there is a complete version of gingerbread cm 7 for the epic touch? the only 1 that I could find was half done.
that's the one... lol
Never looked into CM7. Did they just stop supporting it?

yeah I do believe they stopped supporting it, and I love cm 7, too bad they don't pick it back up.

Long story short...this dev kangd cm7, stopped halfway thru, got a windows phone but kept telling peeps he was working on this rom. Happened with a couple other items like kernels also. Started something great, then moved on right away. ADD maybe?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
So is it a working ROM? Looking at the thread it had everything but 4g

Mostly yes.....give it a whirl, see if it works for you. I had it installed before.....think I got rid of it due to battery life though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I'm definitely loving it the battery life seems to be good. Everything works perfect except for 4 g. And that's definitely not an issue for me since I have no 4 g in my area.

by the way in case anybody wants to know the launcher that I'm using is called holo launcher. It's just like apex and Nova. But you can use it on gingerbread. Ya know I just wish we had more options for EL29 roms and gingerbread roms like this. It runs sooooo smoooth. It would be awsome if a dev picked this up and finished it! I dont think it has a lot left to do either. Refine the kernel for better battery life and add some cyanogen settings that are missing. I wish I could dev.

Well, I presume using the AOSP lockscreen you won't have that issue. But I enjoy the touch wiz one. It should be fine (battery life) as long as its an amoled screen. Wouldn't recommend on an LCD/IPS screen.

What ROM is everyone using?

I was using the touched by an s4 rom but it is no longer being updated. I tried cm 10 but couldn't get gps working. So I was curious what rom all of you guys and gals are using?

There aren't to many TouchWiz ROMs still being updated. ReCalked, JellyVerse, and Project X are still supported.

Im using Revolt, it works smoothly and has lots of features.
Im using ProjectX at the moment, but Im not sure how long ill stick with it. Battery use is horrible for some reason. I can go from ful charge to 70% battery life in less than an hour.

I get most of the day easy... It's most likely one of your apps running in the background constantly. Better Battery Stats will help you with wakelocks. This is today which is actually a bad day for my battery. Your battery also may be getting old. This is SenseWiz but it has pretty much the same tweaks as Project X.
Mokee 4.2.2 hope to upgrade to 4.3 but been too busy today
At the moment I'm using sensewiz..which is a nice mashup with gravy on side with great battery life
