Safe Flashing? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I just flashed to the Mijjz Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512419
I am currently wondering what a safe and battery friendly GB based kernel would be that I can flash things to this rom with. (I want to stay on this Rom, just flash a few zips onto it safely). Thanks!

Twrp hands down

Agat's 0.2.1 kernel built from source. It has the command removed that bricks our phones.

Honestly guy there are only 3 choices chris41 CWM, agats CWM or TWRP. You got to flip a coin or something and make a decision...

You need to odin a GB kernel, then upgrade, then flash one of ICS kernels.
ICS question.
If I'm running Calk's stock/rooted/fc07 v.1.0 and he releases a 2.0 version can I just flash over the upgraded version of fc07 without reverting back to GB el29?
OR
If I want to flash sfHub's fc15 ics rom can I just flash over ICS to ICS?
Thanks,
Pp.

You should be able to upgrade FC07 stock to FC07 modded by Calk.
You should probably wipe when flashing someone else's FC15.
But first odin to el29 kernel. I heard that you could brick the phone by using FC recoveries. I think even Rogue team suggest using EL29 kernels for flashing things over their own FC kernels.
Here, use this http://goo-inside.me/kernels/TeamRo.../rogue_ET-recoveryonly-1.1.4-rc0-odin.tar.md5 . This is an EL29 Rogue kernel I use.

How Do I Get CWM on FD19 & Any Newer Leaks?

Without having a dev do a repack of the Kernel?
Is there i way i can ODIN cwm recovery onto these new leaks of ICS as they are released?

No they have to do repacks its part of the kernel

Even if you could it is not a good idea to flash using repacks.
Edit: we won't get any official CWM for ICS until kernel source is released.

[Rooted ICS OTA] Looking for universal recovery.

So I updated to the ICS OTA and rooted per QBKING77's video. I would like to flash some custom roms in the future but I don't want to downgrade to EL29 to do it. I want to stay with the current kernel and have a universal recovery that will let me flash any FF18 ROM without any issues.
Is Touch wiz the way to go? If so what version? If not which recovery is best for what I'm looking for?

Hi.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
It's AGAT's kernel & recovery, I think that is what you are looking for? Download the .tar file and use Odin.
Also:
This kernel is TW rom only and can not be used with AOSP/AOKP/CM roms.

I think it depends on how much support you want to give to her phone. Stock is stock and options are straight forward but on custom roms there are more options that she won't be familiar with coming from a BB. You may be called upon to be her private support thread.
I am on Wicked Sensations fh13 and it very smooth and better battery life than all the ff18s I ran. Just make sure you install the v1.5 kernal if you do try it.

Just use el29 stock for a week or so to get familiar with android and it is the most stable. Custom roms is a whole different thing. Many awesome custom roms.

That depends on if you want her to become your wife J/K. Since FH13 is going to be the latest official build I would flash stock FH13. Once she gets used to that you can move up to roms or themes.
Lol she said she's fine with what's on it atm (unnamed)

You pretty much just download a kernel with cwm built in and flash the .tar file with Odin.
All kernels should be found in the link above

That depends on why you need cwm? Flash new roms? Flash mod zips?

Thanks guys I got it, I am really not liking the stock rooted Rom, how hard for me now to go to a custom Rom?
I know everyone likes different things but all I really want is a ICS streamlined Rom with all the bloat removed that everything works and is quick.
Any recommendations and instructions on how to get from where I am at now to the custom Rom?

If your stock ics kernel you can mobile Odin, Odin or flash a custom kernel, such as agats 5.4 kernel and then flash an ics rom. Or if your on a custom kernel, just flash the rom you want. All rom OPs have instructions. Obviously those who know me know what rom I will say, but we have tons of themes and mods for the "Goodness" rom. Pretty simple really. If you need help you can get me on gtalk, name is in my sig
