What ICS rom is the best in your opinion? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Wanting to try something new besides Caulkin's GB rom

Depends on what you are looking for.
For AOSP I would suggest that you go with AOKP. As for TouchWiz probably go with The Blu Kuban or Mijjz Blend (ICS versions of course)

You do realize you can get a vote for every rom out there... Don't waste your time on here waiting for someone to tell you what to do. Just read up on them all and decide which one you want to try.. Then try them all if you like

+1 I personally have tried most and they all have pros/cons. I got addicted to the tablet ui in HyDrA, but its not for everyone. Just try each one your interested in and go back to which ever one YOU prefer.

I just came from mijjz's goodness to aokp 35, both are awesome and I've not had a problem using them as my daily driver, I hate hate hate touchwiz though so obviously there is no small degree of bias in my opinions

I would have to agree with the Hydra rom it is sick! By far my favorite. Anyone that hasnt tried it really owes it to themselves to do so.

I had the same issue with aokp, 3g so bad it was virtually unusable, mobile odin'd to newer modem (fe07 if i remember correctly) and after a day or two and a few battery pulls speeds were actually improved from what I had prior, just give it a few days possibly try a new modem

Did you download it from your phone or pc? I have had bad luck trying to download roms from my phone but have not bricked yet (knock on wood)

If you want to get an idea of what some of the ROMs are about before you flash them, then take a look at some of qbking77's review videos.

I just flashed sfhub's fe10, liking it so far, but my favorite so far had been calkulin's e4gt2 series...version 1.5 is fd26 and is a very stable and smooth rom.
Edit: i agree with binary though, check out qbking77's reviews-they're super helpful

If it wasn't for qbking77 & zedomax on youtube, I'd STILL be scared to attempt rooting! I personally have tried a LOT of ROMs: Blazer, Calkulin's E4GT2, CM9 Alpha 3, Nocturnal Venum before finally settling on Blu Kuban ICS FE10 (love the blue & black combo). It comes with an updater built-in & everything is working (hotspot included). Just make sure u follow the videos to the LETTER when installing any ROM! I luv my phone (never said THAT before!)

+1 on the kuban it runs very smooth battery life is awesome.Rujelus22 is on his game with this one the blue theme is very detailed and everything works.

DARKSIDE Dev Team CM7 Hybrid

Hey guys as I am almost done with this Rom, before I finish and release i would like to know what you guys want to see in it? The DARKSIDE really cares about user feedback its the only way development gets better. Let me know. Which launcher do you want to use, ADW (stock in cm7), Launcher2 (AOSP,and my favorite), or Touchwiz (SGS2 stock). Did you want some stock apps sammy included because you have grown to use it. Like I said let me know, but know just cause you ask doesn't mean I will deliver, I also gotta look at what's best for the rom. Thanks again. Lets turn this development section around and bring it back.
Welcome to the DARKSIDE!!!

For me pretty much stock AOSP and everything that is not needed gone. So better performance and smoother
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'd say anything that can be downloaded from the market you could prolly leave out. As for sammy Apps, if you can get them to Work, include them, as long as they're unistallable by the user(I personally don't use them). Did you get the audio bug worked out?

I personally do not like the adw launcher like on CM7. I prefer stock or TW. I have grown accustomed to these two and are the smoothest I have used. Adw has cool features, but I would like this phone as close to stock as possible. If people want adw it's in the market. Or you can add a flashable zip for each?
Either way do what you have to, to make this ROM the best possible and smooth and I am happy.

Hello, you seem new to this. The difference between CM7 and Juggernaut, BeastMOD, Domination, Bombardier, and Android Zombie (AKA TouchWIZ ROMs, I like to call them Touch****) ... the difference is that CM7 is made from the stock gingerbread builds, and then the kernels/System files are ported to the device. TouchWIZ on the other hand is full of bloat, which makes it run slow, and isn't as tweaked and optimized as CM7. CM7 would always be far better than Touch****.
Safe Flashing!

Rom Suggestion Help

I'm getting so frustrated with my phone. I kinda wished I never rooted it.
I keep having glitches happen, most often my SMS messages just DON'T send. they just sit in my out box. I text a lot so this is ANNOYING.
Can someone please recommend a FULLY FUNCTIONAL rom that is worth having? I like sense. Something tried and true but also semi new would be awesome.
Sorry if this isn't in the right place...I took a shot.

If you are flashing it to a ROM already installed wipe cache and Dalvlik-cache first. Flashing a kernal won't do anything to your setup except change how it runs in the backround.

If you want a Sense ROM that just works... Check out my ROM Swagged Out Stock (link in my sig, just hit the XDA button). Another great choice is tommytomatoe's EVO Classic. Both of our ROMs have gone along way from stock, but have all of the stability of stock (and you don't have to switch to AOSP). Check 'em out.

Everyone will have a different opinion about ROMS. Mine is either swagged out stock or Synergy.
As far as texts just sitting in your out box, that may be a sprint iussue and not a ROM issue. If you read the sprint forums, its a fairly common problem related to network, not the ROM.

Thank You!
Not to be rude or anything but all one has to do is look at some of the popular ROMs in the development sections to get a pretty good idea. The popular ones tend to always be near the top, provide great documentation and support, and provide pictures and videos to get you a great idea of the experience. Just spend 30 minutes looking over the various options, and flash a few to see which one you want to stick with. Flashing ROMs is so easy nowadays that it really is just a matter of how much time you are willing to spend playing around with them. I'm waiting for Jellybean ROMs before I really make the jump and satisfied with the performance of stock (with Nova launcher) until those JB ROMs become pretty stable and can be used everyday.
You really can't go wrong with any rom currently out. I've tried them all out and they won't disappoint. I'm currently running Freeza's rom and though it's touchwiz based, he really changed it up.

For me they have all basically been the same in regards to battery life. At a minimum I can pull 16 hrs on battery with 4+ hrs of screen on time with each rom. I'm not really into playing games on my phone so that helps. However, battery life is really user dependent because we all use/set up our devices differently...so what may end up being good for me may not be the best battery life for someone else. Definitely give each one a try though and see which works best for you
I'm definitely going to try them all, but god damn are all TW roms almost 1gb in size? I thought sense roms with big @ half the size.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've seen a few people post that FreeGS3 is noticeably smoother and less laggy than Blazer. Not knocking Blazer since it may have some other features that people prefer.
For my previous phone (EVO 3D), I tried several Sense ROMs and there was a significance difference in performance among them. Is it such a stretch to assume that a similar variance would be present in custom TW ROMs?

I guess my point is obviously people like all these roms, or they prob wouldn't always be the top four threads all day long...
It really depends on your own preferences as they all appear to be stable and running well..
Again my advice, pick one and flash it.. if u feel like trying something else then try that too.. If somethIng goes wrong restore your backvup.. again.. the beauty of xda.

I get your point but the beauty of XDA is also in the ability to solicit opinions to make an informed decision. I don't think my question was that out of line. It's not as open ended as simply asking what the "best" ROM is.

[Q] Best ROM for EPiC Touch?? Stable/battery life

Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.

I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

Xda only has upto alpha 6 posted. But there are nightlies out there which are almost ready to be stable. I believe chris41g is himself working on that.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

Also the most stable ROM is going to be the stock ota updates of course all of these Roms are in development obviously so as each one says on their page there is some issues with every single one.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

roms
even though a "newbie", team nocturnal & team rejects Black rom is great for battery life, it is a darkly themed rom with available tweaks, pretty smooth & is my current daily driver

The best ROM?

actually I'am on Darkside Evolution 3 v8, at this time which is the best Rom? I look for a stable ICS ROM, I think JB isn't ready...
thanks
I haven't tried all the ROMs, but JB is definitely ready. I would never go back to ICS. I personally like the cm10 based ROMs. GPS is the only buggy feature. JB is so much smoother than ICS, its like a diff OS.
I'm running cm10 with flapjaxx kernel. OC'd to 1.67ghz.
With v6 supercharger script @25% supercharged.
Antutu BM= 7806 with superb battery life.

ok, thanks for the quick answer! sorry for my english, I think i'm not ready for JB, i don't wanna fight with bugs, GPS for example, that is the reason why i look for a ICS base... thanks again
:good:

Try Liquid Smooth RC7 best jb rom hands down. No issues at all.

ok thank you!! I will try it, one quick question, if JB doesn't like me, can I return to ICS only flashing Darkside Evolution again?
EDIT: i have read the LIQUIDSMOOTH Rom Post, the file i have to download is the HERCULES right? why the file only sizes 93MB?
another thing, in the Rom post, there are no instructions to install

I was on the darkside rome too,the same one. Switched to slim bean rom that has jellybean and enjoying it! You should try it out, also with the kko kernel.
Honestly.. JB is much faster, snappier and smoother. But... if you value battery life, stay on darkside evolution. I would definitely try them out though. Just nandroid back up and try liquid, cm10, or AOKP. All excellent. But like I said, as far as battery life goes, Dark side is still my go to.

How is the GPS on this? did you have to apply the AGPS fix?
When I was on LS RC7, I had to apply AGPS patch to get a lock on sattelites.
I just copied the gps.conf on /system/etc.

I am still on liquid smooth rc7 and haven't had to use any gps lock fix mine is fine.
If you value battery and responsiveness or stability I'd suggest you stay where your at. I've used all the jelly bean variants for days at a time and they all have presented 1 issue or another. Some would argue there problem free but occasional graphic glitches, ****ty battery, no wifi calling, call echo , gps problems, no flash support, and low speaker volume are some problems I'm willing to bet money you have at least 4 of these issues. Ive just got around to using Evolution 3.8 after hearing rave review and I must say its clearly the best TW rom and possibly the best rom I've ever ran on this phone. If you don't mind cm9 I'd suggest giving the Xperian Rom a go its stupid smooth and unbelievable battery life for a non touch wiz rom. FYI slim bean and liquid smooth rc 7 do kick ass so if do try JB thats where its at.

Hands down Cyanogen Mod 10 Stable.
Made me fall in love with my phone all over again.
I have tried nearly every popular rom for this phone and was getting tired of the glitches, quarks, force closes and other issues associated with them.
Tried CM10 2 months ago and I would never go back.
Jellybean is definitely the best, and CM10 is rock solid, most functional, stable, fast rom I have ever used on any phone.
Give it a try and you will understand.
I have cm10 since a month, but the camera doesn't work properly, wich other Rom do you recommend?

I agree, the devs are also working hard to put out more updates with their ROMS and are quick to respond to any questions about issues.
AOKP

After one week (in two countries—which was a headache with JediJelly, e.g.), AOKP has been awesome.

You could field a team, it seems. And that makes me a lot happier about just having bought a 1.5 year-old phone.

I'm eager to try one or more of them. Being more of a theorist than an experimentalist , by any chance ... is there anywhere that summarizes/compares them in one place? Especially with some commentary. That would be awesome.
Barring that (or even a thread that goes into a discussion of (some of) the differences), I guess I'll just pull up all the OPs and make a spreadsheet or something. :nerd:
since I need to use wifi calling at my condo, I'm limited to touchwiz roms. after trying a few, I settled on DarksideEvolution 4.0.4 with the latest Jedi Kernel based on 3.0.8. working great for me.

I personally feel aokp jb camera is a lot sharper than tw cams. .. anyone else agree?
