after trying most roms, I have come to a conclusion! Aokp beautiful smooth great rom, has terrible data loss (los) both wifi and 3g. blue kuban rom, good rom many many features, no matter how many times I wipe and reinstall, I keep losing wifi. and f f 18, scrolling is too laggy. Cm9 LOS! ! ! Badly... Smooth and beautiful ROM, but I have to have data, and I have to the other make a call. So it was a no go for these roms. I'm thinking that we will just have to wait for source kernel to evolve. I have no doubt that these two roms will be the best soon.

CM9 Alpha 6 has some weird Data LOS but I assure you was not in Alpha 5 if that was your issue (Alpha 5 doesnt have recovery). Nightly 7-11 seemed to have been fine on that issue. If battery life was an issue the last Nightly that was FF11 kernel based (6-29?) is great as well as having a safe recovery baked in.
Just a thought on CM9 until the next release. Its my daily and I am never going back.
So I guess the point was, or is, you suffered los.. . Just curious..

I really tried to like cm 9 but with the data loss it was just a no go. I originally went with the 712 build, quickly realized that was a bad idea and went with the 711 build. after a full wipe I still had data loss. if I can get data work properly on that that would be my favorite rom!

Yeah ive been having a weird issue with fall backs on 7-12 but 7-11 seemed fine. Either way there are those people having LOS issues altogether while the rest of us are fine. But Alpha 6 brought an issue to alot of people where it would just not have Data and voice was fine. Whatever nightly I was on before Alpha 6 was good as well.

Well for cm9 los completely after 2 hours on the rom. Nothing installed our altered in anyway. Blue kuban, was great except i lost wifi after the phone sat for any length of time. But was an easy fix, toggle wifi off then on. Blue kuban was the best by far... Aokp los just like cm9 wifi &3g
I'm not sure what the triggers are! But in cm 9 and a o k p I could only get data back by restarting and even then it will come back sometimes.

ics roms are not that bad... anyways. the galaxy s3 is the last galaxy s im getting. these devices are blazing fast and are probably the fastest out there but i figured that these devices does not have much support from sprint and developers so im going over to the nexus lines. ive had my galaxy nexus for a while now and i love it more than my gs3. well IMO this is what all i have to say. and im sure a lot of people here would agree too.

While I don't see anything wrong with creating a thread about your issues, I feel it would have been more productive to have it in the Q&A section. Asking if others had the same findings as you and what they might have done to resolve them seems like a better way. While I don't think you meant it to come across this way, it could be read by some that those roms you listed have problems that many many other folks are just not seeing. The fact that your seeing similar issues across so many options, maybe some basic troubleshooting questions needs to be asked.

When is it NOT happening to you? Answered
When is it NOT happening to others? Still outstanding. So is it that others are less sensitive to the phenomenon? Is it geographical? Is it some external factor like a common app you use or a specific setting or procedure you follow when setting up your phone? Are you using the FF18 modem for all these builds you tried? Etc. Etc.
I am not discounting your findings or saying your wrong at all, just suggesting you indict the phenomenon and not the rom until everything else is ruled out. I for one have been running ICS leaks since April and have only seen LOS to be a problem specific to one early leak and the fd02 modem. And even then I can't prove it was the modem.

I have spent the past week trying out several gingerbread ROMs trying to find one that I'd stable enough for daily use. The most impressive one I used was ASC Bamboozled v1.1. It was super quick and had some cool animations like the TV animation when you turned it off. I would like something kinda of like that. I know that the gingerbread ROMs have a reboot issue and that doesn't bother me too much. It is a slight annoyance but not a deal breaker. With the source of gingerbread from Samsung floating around I was wondering if there were any stable ROMs yet.

cm7 is the best. no reboots but it hasn't no 4g, which suxs.
I thought about cm7 but I heard there is a issue with voice calls and some of the standard things didn't work. Has that changed with the source? Nit worried about 4g seeing I don't live in a spot that has it. Yep throwing away $10 a month. I hate it.

Until the EXT4 kernel is released from source, find yourself a good stock RFS prerooted EH17 ROM to Odin and then Odin in mkasick's kernel from the new source. I don't think anyone put together a new ROM with the new kernel yet besides CM7. Or wait a few more days and I am sure there will be some.

Of all the GB roms, Thunderhawk has been the most stable for me.
Hands down acs ics. Its super stable and fast and its ics themed. cyanogen is also great if you don't mind losing 4g and video. Although battery on both roms are fantastic. I get about 18 hours average on acs and about 23 on cyanogen. And thats with a stock battery with moderate use. Ive been switching back and forth for a while now. But been running acs as my default rom. I havent had one problem with it at all. No reboots, lags, gps lock issues, or things of that sort.

Here's the thing about 'stability'. All the GB roms look wonderful out of the gate and perform flawlessly for 3-4 days and then start to disintegrate, act out, cause FCs and freezes. If you want serious stability, you need to use a Froyo rom. If you don't mind a few inconveniences, CM7 is the way to go. It is the most stable of the GB roms and many phone owners are very excited about its possiblities down the road. Honestly, I work in a hi-rise in San Francisco and I don't even miss the 4G, the phone is that fast. The battery life alone is worth the call sound and video issues which are minor at best. IMHO.
everyones phone is different
some people have issues with cm7 and acs ics, and some people dont. so best idea is test drive both roms, to see have your phone acts it them. and with the video issue there are other players in the both markets that can help with that. and with cm7 its just plug and play no extra steps to get it to work and with acs ics there other things you have to do to get it to rite.
ACS ICS seems to be pretty good so far. No major concerns to this point, albeit early stages of testing.

Don't you know not to invest in something for features it may have one day... that's what got us into trouble with the Epic 4G in the first place (6 month late Froyo, endlessly delayed Gingerbread, TV Out, FM radio...)!
Anyways, whenever someone asks "what's the best rom?", you'll always get very biased responses. You'll generally hear cries of "ACS!" and "Cyanogen!". While the acclaim is generally deserved, my own testing hasn't yet shown anything too fantastic in their current GB versions. ACS ICS has a somewhat glitchy launcher, but if you like it have at it. CM7 did not have anything special I could find, nor did it perform to my typical battery standards.
Try them all out, each has their own merits and each phone performs differently with different roms. Don't forget the others like Hurricane or Urban.
Or you can just follow the crowd .
When I came to XDA, I read the threads under each ROM to see what the features were and what problems people were having. People coming here now are too damn lazy to do this and want us to tell them exactly what to put on their phone. I would lke nobody to answer threads on "what's the best ROM" and maybe people will stop being lazy and read.
If everyone liked the same thing there would be only 1 rom. Read like kenny and random suggested. Find the one with the most features that you personally need or want. I try just about every rom on here and always find my way back to thunderhawk. It just has the best mix of all the features I need working.

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.
IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

+1 for Calkulin's roms. Good battery life, stable, so far I have not encountered any issues.
I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...
no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.
Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)
I'm looking to upgrade my dads phone. He has a custom GB ROM I already put on there months ago but since sprint finally rolling out ICS I was wondering what was best...cm9? F18 leak? He just wants ROM that is stable and has hacked hotspot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well if he want a stable rom with Hotspot hack i recommend getting Phantom Blazer 4.1 Rom. But if he wants ICS roms CM9 will do.
I'm running M'ICS v 1.1. stable, good battery life and has sprint hotspot.
Let's be honest here, there are probably a dozen of these threads out here and I am quite sure a few quite recently. You could get a million different answers since it all really depends on the user themselves. There is so much that goes into deciding whats best for you I never get asking others. I mean opinions are great but personal experience is the best.
If you are just going to do if for every day use then flash the stock FF18, throw a recovery on it and flash the hotspot hack in themes and apps voila! you're done!
Sorry was not trying to flame I understand what you are asking just don't think a dozen people giving you different answers helps you. All the roms in development are great but all come with a little kwirk here or there.

Stability is one aspect, battery life is another. Best suggestion is to read through the threads of the roms that interest you and what style you like and test the battery life on it.
I personally like Wicked 1.5 and have 3 1/2 to 4 hrs on screen time. But that may not be the case for you. Based on what you run, how you run...
Browse away and give 'em a try but take head to flashing responsibly and read, read, read so you don't brick your phone.

I completely get it. It is alot to absorb.
There are 2 posts that I know of which are polling people about the roms in use but its all a matter of taste.
Besides the fact that some may be partial to a particular team, dev, etc.
Its just a hard question to answer.
Best solution is to try if you're willing. But there are safe kernals now and great people to give you advise if you get stuck.

Yep some pretty good ROMs out there.. i've been on Blazer for a while now. Gets the job done. It just gives me something to do, escape reality through technology, and some kind of social connection with this badass forum.
Sure wish i could contribute something to the development world though..
Please omit my last post, I can't stand stock ROMs for this device. CM10 = The way to go. just my opinion though
I usually run rooted stock at first then flash a ROM that has things I like in it. I used to be one of those flashaholics back when I had my Evo but not so much any more. So far, I've only flashed 2 ROMs. Rooted my stock when I first got the phone, flashed Blazer ROM 1.3 (updated to 1.6 later), and just last night I flashed AOKP.
I'm really picky when it comes to ROMs. Battery life is huge to me, but I'm a sucker for shiny things like Jelly Bean.
In the past I would stick to ROMs based on the stock ROM, as I felt they had less problems and better battery life. However, CM & JB are hard to leave once you've flashed it. JB just seems right!

Whats not working in CM10,is it daily driver yet?
I been running CM10 as well. Was on blazer Rom for awhile but it's hard going back to TouchWiz after getting a taste of jelly bean.
For me it's good enough as a daily drive but I'm on one of the older builds that had Bluetooth a2dp working although it cause in-call volume control to not work. Currently though on the latest builds, a2dp isn't working.
Other than that, it runs great for most part.
Do these Rom make for a longer battery life? If so what are your battery lifes before/after?

I have had nothing but hell out of this phone since ICS. Has anyone had a lot of problems with ICS or is it just me? Nothing works consistently anymore. I believe this phone has become unreliable.
Wow hell.. huh?
Did you consider rooting and try custom ROMs to get to heaven?

I did. :/
The several i tried lasted a week at the latest. But most did the same thing as stock ics. Calls never recieved, voicemails never received. Once i couldn't dial out and it took three flashes to fix it. I got a new one from sprint but i really just don't know if i want to go through anymore drama.

Try OC EL29, you'll get no bugs, and a better battery life than on ICS.
Still had trouble with ics and el 29. I tried just running GB but that message never goes away. Its always trying to download and killing my battery and connection. I never had this niche trouble with my evo 4g
There's an unrooted trick that is said to kill the update notification.

The devs did a great job with the ROMs but its not the same like gingerbread since Samsung and sprint screwed our ICS, every custom ROM I tryed still has that nasty super fast scroll, it has that glitchy freezing up a bit also when scrolling. OP if you want ICS you will need to get on an aosp ROM or cm9 and aokp that's the closest and smoothness of ICS you will get or you could just roll back to gingerbread.
Another thing is there's a lot of folks that would claim how smooth these ICS custom ROMs are but in reality it isn't its either you guys are blind or your just to into and to used to ICS that it blended in you guys soul.every time I roll back to gingerbread I see a huge difference in smoothness and butter heck even these jellybean aosp and cm10 ROMs are way smoother then the ICS that Samsung and sprint gave us.

Maybe I'll try a jellybean ROM. With the short gap between ICS and JB, i wonder if ICS is the Vista of Android.

One piece of advice: Go get sfhub's stock ek02 or eg30 auto package. Start from the beginning and go back and flash an ICS ROM. That usually fixes any bugs. :good:
I don't know about the other ICS ROMs but I have tried CM9 and Blu Kuban and they come as close to perfection as we could've gotten without source kernel. Haven't fully tried ICS since just because I prefer the better battery life of GB though.
I'm on cm10 and the battery is much better than anything I got in ICS, and I've tried half the ROMs out there. Blue kuban, codename, cm9, aokp, etc. The cm10 ROM is freaking amazing. Honestly, try it. You won't regret it
Swyped from a Galaxy S2 on CM10

I might try cm10, but I've tried CM on this phone and the evo4g I had and they were both horrible experiences.
I'm getting pretty decent battery on pics and not to many bugs lol.don't use 4g.task manager doesn't kill me. So its working beautifully for me

Also I hope you are not restoring apps and data when downgrading etc. Start clean 100%.

Look, if you are doing everything right as you say, and are having problems that are making your phone "hell," the problem is likely your device itself. I have personally never had issues with any ICS builds, from the leaks, to the OTAs, to CM9. And the latest FH23 leak gives me excellent battery life. Unfortunately, since you didn't give any more information to go on than the fact that you phone has been hell, I have no further advice to give you then to get your phone replaced. Again, I have had no issues with ICS. Running much smoother than GB.

I have never had any battery life issues. All my problems revolve around the phone part of my smart phone. I didn't start a thread to cry as as one jerk off suggested, I am having huge problems around ICS that is making my phone worthless. Even this replacement phone that i just activated is getting **** phone reception compared to my old one with GB. If they both have ICS installed they both get crap signal. I wonder.if its related to Sprint.

First thing, have you updated profile and PRL? If so, have you tried using the ODIN one-click to go back to EL29 ROM, kernel, and modem? Let's start there. If you are having no issues using EL29 as I suggested, we can further explore this being an ICS-related issue. Otherwise, it could very well be Sprint. If that works fine, use ODIN to install the latest FH23 leaked ROM, kernel, and modem. Forget flashing through recovery for now, and only use the one-clicks that erase user data. Also, do you have these issues everywhere you go, or is this localized to a particular area? To put it simply, for 2 phones to be having an identical problem (given a device that is not really known for having problems) is very strange, which leads me to blame Sprint in your particular area. But if you say that you did not have these issues on GB, let's explore that further. ODIN EL29 and report back.
