Been searching around the forums and can't seem to find any info.just wondering if there is a CM7 build for our phone. I figure 7 would be more stable and complete than 9 at this point considering it is still in alpha. Even cyanogen mods main site doesn't really acknowledge our variant on the galaxy s2.
Seems all GB roms are on 2.3.4, are there any on 2.3.7? I know there isn't much difference. My old backflip had this version and I was curious how it would run on E4GT.
And yes I have used the search button.

Cyanogen 9 is actually more stable than cm7 just fyi, the cm7 dev moved on and the cm9 team fixed outstanding bugs that remain in the cm7 testing builds

I actually only use cm7 for the recovery. Which is probably why he is looking for it in the first place.
on a side note, please read the rules and post in the correct section.

You don't need cm7 rom to get safe recovery. All you need is the stock el26 center kernel
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Everyone always says go EL 26. Why not stock rooted 29? Thought it was more stable than the leaked 26.

Let me know how that runs if you do manage to install it, I'm not very anxious to run CM9, AOSP, AOKP, or anything ICS untill we have source and can be built from the ground up rather than borrow from here and there. That CM7 is a really small file, just seems like it should run great on the phone. Thanks.

I was really asking about kernels in general. Seems like every ROM wants you to go back to 26 before doing anything. Just was wondering why not 29? What issues would arise from using 29 as a base vs. 26?

I just rooted my wife's phone for her. only reason being she wants it to run smooth again. recently has been freezing up allot and just acting funky. I want to remove Bloat and install v6 supercharger and some other tweaks to help it run smoother. anyone have any suggestions for a smooth, easy to use, stable Rom. That I might be able to convince her to try out for a bit. Generally I wasn't planning on flashing any custom roms for her unless something easy is out there. I am an chronic EVO flasher and she does not understand.

Since it is her phone and I am sure you love peace in your household, you may want something basic like the EC05plus ROM or ReRFS.
ha
That is why I hesitate!
links please if it is not too much trouble....
The v6 script is a trickier mod on a stockish rom. I swear by the latest sfr. Flash it twice. Be sure to flash a kernel also. In your case I'd recommend the ec05 plus kernel- nice and plain with no oc. Don't forget the hotspots hack. No sfr user should go without that freebee.

The first one requires Odin so back up first and then you can restore the data back. (of course ALWAYS back up a wife's phone first before doing ANYTHING!)----Great Advice!
Do not give her a GingerBread leak rom. My biggest recommendation.
My EC05 Froyo rom has the latest features like 6 Lockscreen mod and the free hotspot mod. You can try it here. If you don't need anything fancy, go with stockish as recommended by kenny.
Thanks!

As dumb as it sounds, maybe I need some more coffee, but I upgraded my sprint EVO after 2 years to a nice new Galaxy. BUT, I am trying to find the correct subforum for this phone. Sprints site calls it aSamsung Galaxy S™ ll, Epic™ 4G Touch (a mouthful), and the picture looks the same, but I see T-Mobile and ATT with their own galaxy s2 foums and this ONLY says Epic.
So, I am looking for both rooting, ROM's, etc. but want to confirm this is the correct forum, no such thing a dumb question as I would rather ask then brick!
Thanks
This is the right place. Its Sprint variant of the GS2 which they call the Epic 4G Touch.
lol, thanks. ROM playing was horribly addictive with the EVO, and I'm bored now with the stock on the g2. Got the OTA update installed this AM, but now ready to have some fun.

A new ICS rom has posted. The latest release now is FF18. It is ICS 4.0.3 4.0.4. This is the 40th version. They already have had a FF16, FF11, FF09, FF02, FE26, FE22, FE21, FE16, FE14, FE10, FE07, FD26, FD24, FD19, FD16, FD14, FD10, FD05, FD02, FC24, FC22, FC18, FC17, FC15, FC14, FC13, FC07, FC06, FC05, FC02, FB29, FB27, FB24, FB21, FB17, FB15, FB10, FB09, and FB04.

Sextape's stock unrooted tar for FF18
Sfhub's One Click Odin with full restore and rooted for FF18
This is a one click tar file with root that will load FF18. There are instructions on the thread. He also has the individual components available to download and flash through odin(tar, modem, kernel).
Datajosh's FF18 Stock, Rooted, Odexed/Deodexed ICS 4.0.4 This is a stock rooted rom.
Custom Roms
Team Rejectz's Touched by SGSIII(FF18)
Wicked Sensations Rom™(FF18)

MIJJz's "Slim-n-Trim" AOKP
CyanogenMod 9
Custom Kernals
Agat63's Recovery Kernel(FF11)
ReActiceDisorders's Clockwork Mod Kernal(FE10)
This rom is very stable but might have some lingering bugs. Take some time and read the thread before flashing.

At least we know there is active development. Now hopefully we can get a leak.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Just keep checking sammobile.com for the leak. Click the "firmware" tab and do a search for "d710". The ics ROM will start with FB. Its not there yet but I am betting it will be soon. When you find it post it here on XDA. Don't install it until the devs fix it. If you just go and install it you will probably lose root and I am not sure if they know how to root it yet.

One more thing. I wrote last night it was Android version 4.0.4. Well the first RDF was. Here is the link to it.

Hey guys,
After two years of use, I finally managed to shatter the screen on my HTC EVO 4G. Now that I'm due for an upgrade, I'm going with Epic Touch 4G as LTE network won't be in my area for another year.
I've been browsing the forums and after lots of reading, my head is spinning.
There's all these acronyms.. like FF18 I don't understand.
I'm getting a brand new Samsung SII Epic Touch 4G tomorrow from a Sprint Store.
I plan on using some form of Cyanogenmod if available.
There are TONS of root threads that I've found - Where do I start? Which one should I go with?
Sorry if it's noobie questions, but I appreciate any answers. Thanks!
Read the stickies sections in the forums. Ff18 is a ice cream sandwich build, its just the build date. F=2012 f=June 13th. Fh13= 2012 August 13th etc. Qbking77 has helpful videos on YouTube. Just read in the forums a lot and read the stickies section and you will pick it up. Enjoy the phone. It depends on what build you are on to root. Sfhub has one clicks for every build I think.

No rom will require a modem to be flashed. As modems are sepreate from the roms. Only time you will flash a rom/kernel/modem all in one is the one click .tar odin. You can flash modems independently.

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the help.
I have successfully rooted my Epic 4G Touch and flashed CM9 Alpha 6 on it.
Thanks SO much to QBKing77 for his very intuitive and simple videos.
My next question involves CM9 and Wireless Hotspot
I noticed that whenever I activate Hotspot, my 4G disconnects and falls back to 3G.
I have searched on Google and saw that this is a relatively common problem, but is there a fix? If not, are there any other AOSP ICS-based ROMs I could use that have portable wifi hotspot available with 4G?
Thanks again guys.

So I am rooted and unlocked using the freegee app. I attempted to install lifeless rom but the installation failed, since I wiped both caches and did a factory wipe I figured I was in the clear to reboot. The phone rebooted fine so I redownloaded the rom thinking I had a bad download. After I turned the device off and tried going into recovery, all I got was the lg logo and the black screen. Can't boot the phone or access recovery. I can get into download mode. Will try to use LGNPST, but unfortunately I work a lot over the weekend. My question is why did I get softbricked? I am clueless as to why I got softbricked and I don't want to make the same mistake twice, so any suggestions?
Edit
After leaving the phone off for about 20 minutes I tried rebooting and it worked! re-installed the freeglee app and installed a backup.. Now I am really baffled!
It's happening a lot I think it has to do with the lack of development and testers.
no offense to anyone

It has nothing to do with that. It is something with the recovery is what we are finding out.
If it should happen again Odin could be of some use to you, as you only have to have access to a tar file and your phones download mode, hope this helps for future reference, and yes I have been seeing it more with my S2 I'm soft bricking quite a bit lately but as stated above, Odin has saved my day many times over.

Can we use Odin with this device? If so, maybe someone can create a thread with info on the process. I'm not exactly sure how I got in this predicament or how I got out of it. Maybe I should have re-downloaded the free Gee app after I wiped data and went through the process of unlocking the bootloader before trying to access recovery

I could be wrong but I think there are device specific versions of Odin, so just find the one for your SIII, after that the process will be the same. I'll look into the device specific versions of Odin but as I said I could be wrong.
