I've been running the FF18 ICS leak for weeks now. I used SFHUBs one click method. My battery life hasn't been the best so was thinking about just going back to stock GB with root. I've read about using the EL26 one click. Is this the best method or is EL29 okay? I was considering taking my phone into Sprint for a replacement due to my battery life not being the best even when I was on GB. Thanks for your time.
EL29 one click. EL26 is the kernel people go back to for flashing ics roms or flashing from ics to gb. Full odin flashes are safe regardless you will be overwriting everything, this is unlike flashing from cwm in this instance.
Thanks Rain.

Typically Its safe to go to EL26 and then back upto EL29 if thats what you want.
Dont know if you are rooted or not, there are couple tweaked EL29 ROMs out there that have the best battery and performance.
I hear you, that thought has crossed my mind as I have tried several FF18 custom ROMs. I am now on Universe FF18 ROM and I am really happy with it. Just my two cents.
I left ICS f for the same reason. I use the EL29 with clockwork auto boot tar in mobile Odin. Works well. you right into recovery to flash GB or ICS. EL26 seems to be the method most use

If your using desktop ODIN you can go straight to EL29. There is zero point to going to an earlier version if all your going to do is flash EL29 anyways. However without a desktop present that is of course not an option.
You should use EL26 if your going back to GB without ODIN. As always if your going to another ICS rom you should use EL26 CWM or a safe ics kernel when available.
Full ODIN tars can be applied over any version safely. Pre rooted one clicks are included just be sure to use the full version never do a no data going backwards, but if u do just factory reset (of on gingerbread).

Yeah I'm rooted but on stock been running Sfhubs leaks I haven't flashed any ICS roms. I used Calkulins and Phantom Hackers gingerbread roms they were nice. I'm still on the FF18 but probably will go back to EL29. I have a upgrade on my of lines in 23 days so was debating the S3.

They won't replace your phone because of battery life. They might give you a new battery if you get really lucky but most likely you'll just end up wasting your time

Use sfhubs one touch root (look in the devs section). This will get you up and rooted, then choose option c to install a custom recovery. As far as a ROM solution, I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the previous post. Calk's e4gt ROM, ver 2.8.1. Seems to be the most stable and popular ROM around here. That is where I would start.

I second that. I prefer calk's with the desperado kernel.
I will have to respectfully disagree with the last two posts. This isn't a popularity contest, it's about the most reliable rom. Have either of you tried strongsteves? I'm running calks latest on my 2nd E4GT. Odex plainly runs smoother without any tweaks. The battery life is far better as well. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way. I like calks and always have. That being said, strongsteve is just all around a better rom

+1 on Blazer.
3.8 should be out today.
Everyone will have a different opinion on roms etc, so I'll try to just state facts.
Calk's rom is very nice. In fact a lot of roms are created using his as a base. That speaks for itself. He's also very responsive, concise, and very well respected.
The same can be said about PhantomHacker's roms. He has his own Starburst rom - very oem'ish, one of the first custom roms out (but I think Unnamed has taken the lead in this category) and also the Blazer series roms (based off of Calks rom too)
Again, he's very responsive, well respected, and writes well.
That being said, there are many other Super custom roms, with crazy fonts, icons, etc. Too crazy for myself.
StrongSteve's rom should be solid too.
Bottom line, make a backup of something solid, and try out anything you find appealing. Check out the screenshots in the OP for many of them. Don't be scared. Ask Questions- but read the threads first. If you just don't like one, go back to the backup I was talking about.
Welcome buddy!!!! Have fun and be nice to everyone. (not that you weren't)
I've tried a few different ROMS but Blazer has been solid for me and my use..and I understand with the newest update the battery is suppose to be better but you should try them out and see what works for you and your use of the phone.

What do you mean it is not cwm recovery? Then what is it?
Listen, get the autoroot kit, follow instructions and choose option c and then option e. You should now have ek02 rom/kernel with cwm. Then reboot into cwm recovery by holding the volume up button and the power button at the same time. From there, flash whatever rom you want.
I'm on EL29 and it didn't work, my phone never connected with the auto root, I tried it several times. The only option for EL29 is L or M and I tried L with the latest auto root and it said it would connect, so I tried the other and that at least got me to the other screen, but it never connected

EDIT: And start a new thread instead of hijacking this one. Sorry OP, not sure what I was thinking.
Other opinion threads just burn my ass. They allways end up making more enemys, than friends, I'm not saying for OP but like the kids above me.
So for the OP. Nandroid. flash away. Answer your own questions.
Is this possible because i m not sure if I'm understanding this whole from thing with this phone. Have been reading up for few days and confuse all because of this emmc thing. I am coming from the evo and have done everything I could change and became great at doing whatever I wanted to it but now I feel I'm one foot in the door on this phone and more I read the more the door is slamming on my foot.
I'm having bad battery drain on cw9 ics though I love the from but when I rooted my phone and kept stock gb I was surprised and liked the battery drain more than my evo.
So is it possible to go back. From what I read I'm getting mixed opinions about reversing back. Thanks

I should have no issues since I'm freshly rooted. Now if for some reason I have to go back to GB I can just use sfhubs one click odin EL29 that I used when I first rooted my phone right? I'm super paranoid about this. Also how do I know if I'm using a GB recovery and not an ICS recovery?

Since it plays right into the OP I think its not really a hijack... To answer both questions, the el29 one click that was suggested above is both the easy and safe method.

Was looking for some pointers on a STABLE ROM
Stability is the number one item of importance, rather than ICS or GB, but ICS is preferred for the camera options..
Currently the ET4G is at the stock OTA ICS build, but it is not even activated at this point.
My Step Daughter is using my EVO 4G, and as I upgraded my GF to the SGS3, I want to drop the EVO and move her to the ET4G.
No real rush, I told her it would be a week or two, I am just looking for a build that is super stable, as I wont get much chance to update and/or modify the build once I get it fully setup and give it to her.
Think I am best off using the rooted version of the Stock ICS FF18 ROM, with a modded kernel and just leaving it at that point?
Sadly, I have spent far to much time in the Epic section for my phone, and haven't had a chance to sort through all the builds here.
No need for extra themes, or fancy mods, just basic ICS will suffice, she couldn't tell the difference anyways.
I tried both Blazer and Calk's GB ROM, but both had stability issues here and there, and I was hoping for some tips to use with a new ICS build, now that the OTA is out.
Any advice for better stability than:
Stock ICS build
CWM recovery
Modded Kernel (AGAT's ?)
and just let it go at that?
Well for ICS I'm running M'ICS 1.1 its very stable. Also using agat 0.2.1 dirty kernel (safe) for extra speed and battery life. As for GB, calkulin or blazer roms are very stable as well. I got good battery life on both. Just make sure you read up and ask questions if you not sure. Happy flashing.

I may just keep both on the internal SD, and create a nand backup of both one I get the the phone fully setup, and let her try both for a week or two and see what works best for her in the Baltimore area.
Yeah the EL29 modern works good for me in the dmv area.. I also been having success with ff18 in dc

I dont get how you all are having issues with ICS Ive used ROMs from Venum, and other members of Team Venum. Using Dazed's Wicked Sensation 1.5 now. Great battery life, plenty fast for me. I did change the Kernel and modem to FF02 though. seems to work best for my phone. Ive used Blend, Blu Kuban, Anakonda, Boa, ICE, AOKP, CM9, Frankenstein's ego. Never had an issue with any of them. Well... except for not flashing AOKP right a couple times. Got it figured out fairly quickly Even running Placebo tweaks and havent had issues at all. One thing or another may not work on one ROM or another. but always found a work around for them. Im just learning all this stuff though. Havent really gotten in to the meat an potatos of it all yet. But Im learning.
Anyways... long answer just to say I Love ICS. Cant wait to try Jellybean.

This link is to all stock links. Leaks and officials. You'll get tons of opinions, but i think this its what you asked for. I would recommend Fi03 or Fi25 if your friend is really wanting ics.

I'm running Kobridge's FI25 ROM. It's pretty stock-ish, fluid and overall great. Battery is nice as well. I'd give that a look and try.
Just go to settings and about phone and update firmware or android. The latest official ics build is fh13 so if he is on gb you will have to update to ff18 then fh13 or you can download a one click and use Odin to update. Depends if you want it rooted or not. If he is rooted now and has removed stock apps you will have to use a bone click option or revert back to stock first. You can look up qbking77 on YouTube and every custom rom he pretty much has a video for along with how to get the stock ota updates. To get the stock ics look after updating to the ics build go to Sprint id to change to the stock look or download a launcher like nova launcher or apex or whatever you prefer. If you want a stock ics rom with root you would want an aosp rom like cyanogenmod beta 1. Go to the original development thread.

I have had no issues at all with the ics ota updates but a lot of people have claimed issues. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after the updates and never had issues with battery or blue tooth or whatever else people complain about. I would say let her try ics for a week and see for herself. You can always go back to gb if she doesn't like it. I love cm9 beta 1 I just have some data issues sometimes but it's still being developed so I'm sure the minor issues the rom has are being worked on as we speak. There is also tons of leaks for ics the latest released leak is fi25. And I think it's supposed to be the last leak for ics until jelly bean is leaked.

FH13 the best so far.
Check this thread [Oficial OTA Repository] . I post all official OTA links. Download them all in order them copy paste them in SD card. Go to recovery and flash them in the right order.
Note: You must be pure stock and use stock recovery.
Instructions just in case:
1. You don't need to rename zip.
2. Copy to SD Card not Internal.
3. You most be full stock. (no root, no custom kernel etc.) these are official OTA zips directly from Google servers.

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.
I just can't say enough good things about Re-Calked ROM. Battery life and smoothness are top notch and there are tons of mods for theming purposes, including a transparent status bar mod.
Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.

Atrue we are a little bit behind and they treat us like step children, I'll give you that.... but have you not met the devs around here?
I think the dev and user support shown in E4gt's slice of paradise far outweighs official support at arms length
( and I've tried three jb builds, all of them daily-able)
I do see your point though.. a little official love couldn't hurt.
What I meant by no love is that ics is something I've been running so smooth since my HTC Sensation. The epic 4G touch has the same processor as the gti9100 yet I feel like sprint or Samsung is holding back. All the s2s I see are on gingerbread with people complaining about bugs and issues in official builds I find that unacceptable. But I don't have this device so idk how bad it is. I had a great ics experience both Sammy and aosp on international s2. The sprint variant seems like a killer device that just needs killer software to go with It.
Ps. thanks for everyone's input.. Putbuee on the latest ics leak odexed version with matching kernel and modem and the phone is flying!

Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem

What garwynn says is correct.
My g/f likes to stay on official releases, so she's on FH13. It was a HUGE improvement over the piece of crap that was FF18, so I would recommend that one.
Myself, I'm using stock rooted FI03 with stock FI03 kernel and FI03 modem. I'm pretty happy with this setup, and I probably won't be jumping to another ROM until JB is more stabilized.

Why do people make statements like that? " Huge piece of ..."etc blah..?
I used several ff18 builds with zero issues .. my woman's been on it for 2 months with zero issues as well.
So it was bad how exactly?
Not trying to be an ass . I've just never understood these blanket statements about an entire build being bad vs the possibility of one flash being bad...
Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying i dislike fh or fi builds either... I'm just saying I havent had a major issue with any build since fc27(I think)
I'm using stock rooted FI25 with the Agat 5.4 kernel and the Pegasusq governor. Works great for me! There are a lot of great custom ROMs out with CM9 being one of my favs but the bugs make me stick with stock.
