I want to try ICS, Still on GB? Time to switch? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

What ICS based roms, do you guys suggest me to use? I'm getting bored of GB, on Blazer 4.1 at the moment. And I'm craving for something new. Thanks.

I looooooove aokp. But thats just me.

I'm liking agat63's tFE16 (or earlier, I guess) stuff.

I went from Blazer to ICS and then went back after a few weeks. No where near as smooth GB is insane on this phone! Just my opinion tho!

I'm with the porn doctor, tFE16 is the way to go. It's fast, stable, and everything I've used works, except that Samsung socialhub doesn't sync Facebook pics to contacts. Scrolling has also been MUCH improved over previous ICS leaks.

Lol, time to change your signature a little bit?

I don't think there is a bad ICS rom on this forum. Try a few out and see what you like. I'm liking cm9 and AOKP right now but the TW stuff is pretty cool too!

There is a fantastic selection to choose from and I've probably tried almost all of them. Currently I'm on Blu Kuban. It's easy to install, comes with a handy ROM Updater and runs super smooth.

I second that one! I'm loving this Blu Kuban myself. I've gone thru about 5 different ROMS before settling on this one. It's a matter of choice, but this ROM is well put together.

Heh heh, maybe. I've only been running tfe16 for a couple of days. Didn't know how stable it would be, but it's freaking awesome!

It does break some stuff (as reported by a few people I've not used it) I think it was like camera and a few other things.

Yeah I know how that is lol. I actually kinda like just stock looks for Gmail and the rest of it but that's me. I like themes as well but for the most part I like them minimal.

CM7 vs People's Rom 2.2

I am currently on The People's ROM 2.2 and am thinking about switching to CM7. I have tried CleanGB and wasn't a fan but I really thought SRF 1.2 and Midnight ROM were great. So far the performance with the people's rom 2.2 is alright but I was wondering if the battery life and stability were better with CM7. What are the pro's and con's for peoples rom vs cm7? Thanks for your help.

As far as speed, battery life, and stability, CM7 is the way to go. It's amazing how quick everything can be. If Android 4.0 wasn't as wonderful as it was than I would still be on CM7. It leaves TouchWiz in the dust.
If you want added functionality, I would look into CM9 and/or AOKP. Android 4.0 adds some great features that you should experience.
Also, we try and discourage these kinds of threads.
They are way different, so really the only way to know how you're going to like one over the other is to try them both out... and that is why we discourage these threads... it really all comes down to personal preference... if you like more of a stock android feel, go with an aosp rom (cm7, cm9, aokp, miui)... if you like touch wiz, stick with touch wiz...
Apples and Oranges man. One is Touchwiz will all those Samsung apps and the other is AOSP which means just what you can get from the Play store and Gapps download.

[Q] What is your setup?

I was just wondering since we now have our own Q&A, what is everyone running? Which ROM, Kernel, custom tweaks? I only ask because I myself am running latest CM9 with Trinity Alpha 37 Kernel. It is running very smooth and have had no problems, but I find myself wanting to go back to Stock because of the little extras, ie camera. So just want to get everyons experiences. Please don't hate lol.
FreeGS3 R4 with Trinity Alpha 23.
Very snappy and smooth; however, battery life is still a struggle.
Stock, Apex Launcher. Former flash-a-holic.. if that tells you anything
See I miss Stock, but there is SO much crap running that I get lost trying to keep it under control. Would love a cleaner that actually works.

I plan on moving to CM10 once a few issues are fixed but for now I guess I will stick with CM9. I am have no issues at all and runs smooth as butter. Battery life is amazing too. I just wish the camera app was better.
Stock. Go launcher. Thinking of flashing a kernel, Trinity to be exact. Staying stock with ROM for now.
Rooted and debloated, the stock kernel is working pretty well for me. Smooth, great battery life and all functions including camera working as they should. Why are you guys switching kernel?

I just want to!! I finally had the courage to root my phone...after years of thinking about doing it. I bricked it last week flashing a rom...stupidly. Now, I figure let me try flashing a kernel...mostly because I just want to. A little better performance is nice too.

Stable ICS ROM

Whats the fatest and most stable ICS which has a great battery life. Tried JB roms and I think there battery life is ok not good for day to day use in my view .
Tersus Status is really good. Battery lasts crazy long and runs smooth as hell. Isn't laggy like some ics roms can be.

Re-Calk 0.2.1 seems to be a good replacement for the old Blazer Rom 0.1.5 since he stopped updating.
I suggest running the Agat 6.2 kernel with the Re-Calk, seems to be a nice combo. If you want the data speeds though, do Agat's repacked kernels.
I usually to go back to Re-calk/Blazer Rom all the time after flashing every other rom under the sun just to test drive, but like every one else said, depends on your phone, depends how you tweak your settings, and it has been discussed before.

:good: Agreed. I've tested a quite few roms and kernels since being on JB and this is the current combo I've settled on (Re-Calked 0.2.1 with Agat kernel). You'll be glad to know it's also MHL HDMI out compatible as well...
Tersus Status- It is like the calk's gb for ics.! Way to go _dan!

[Q] TW Roms

I hate asking about ROMs.....but......I've been running the latest (last) version of MacksRom since it was released. My question is, without reading through all the ROM offerings, are there any other TW based ROMs?
Macks has been very solid and I've flashed a couple others...but always keep coming back to Macks. Really like some of the features in TW and would like to find another.
Thanks,
Coz
Yes, I'm running digiblur's 4.1.2 with Perseus kernel and am loving it. It's basically a completely de-bloated stock rom and it is rock solid.
There is a complete rom list thread in either the development or general forums. It lists each available rom and categorizes them by AOSP or TW.

Yea I've tried em all ,and IMHO josh beach's jellybombed is TW best ROM.
But if you want 4.3.1 goodness then CM 10.2 and CarbonRom are solid.
My daily is the latest CM nightly...
just my opinion though.
