I understand the E4GT just got ICS, and, according to many people, it is filled with bugs. But would making an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM be too terribly hard? As I understand, the reason making the ICS ROMs was so difficult was because it was a massive upgrade that completely skipped one step in between. Hence why the update took so long in the first place. But since Jelly Bean is just a few enhancements over ICS, would it be difficult to port a Jelly Bean build over to the E4GT? Just a thought I had jumbling around in the ol' noodle lol Thank you for any answers or responses

To correct your understanding, ICS ROMs (as in TouchWiz) weren't difficult to make at all. It was ROMS like AOKP, CM9, etc that were more difficult. It was mainly due to not having kernel source for ICS. There are already some developers working on porting Jelly Bean over, you'll just have to wait a little bit more.

I also haven't noticed many bugs with it. I don't understand what all the fuss is about it being terrible. I enjoy it. I use it as my daily driver and it seems to work just as well as el29 GB did, if not better because of the new functionality features and improved battery life, etc. Good to know someone else is happy with it

My battery life has seemed extensively better than with el29. That's not to say I didn't have satisfactory battery life prior to ff18. I seem to get maybe 12 or 13 hours out of ff18 whereas I would only get 10 or so with el29. Then again, I'm also constantly tweaking my running tasks and such so my battery life generally is much longer than many of my friends lol but yes I have seen some major improvements all across the board with ICS, as well as some bugs here and there.

So prep before going ff18?.... Wrote davlik cache, all cache or just wipe everything? Before attempting to flash? And flash it 3 to 4 times to be safe?

I manually updated to ff18 from the post by sfhub including what he said was the exact same build as the OTA update. The process used odin to flash the build onto my phone. Upon recieving the update, after a day of use I had some debilitating lag and hanging all over the place. So I was curious as to what wiping the cache and such would do. I went into the stock recovery (not CWM) and did a wipe data/factory reset, then wipe dalvik cache, then I did a reboot from stock recovery. Since then, the only bugs I have noticed are the task manager aesthetic bug, and a few hang ups here and there. However, battery life hasn't been an issue, I haven't had issues with wifi or force closing, and overall it has been an enjoyable experience. I still use the ff18 build daily.

Don't do a factory reset with the stock recovery. That bricked a lot of phones. Even the OTA FF18 stock kernel was released with this bug. Use one of Agat63's new kernels or Calkulins format all zip. No bricks reported with either of those methods.
ICS Battery life.
I haven't tried factory reseting or wiping cache, but I know personally my battery life went to $hit when I tried any and all ICS leaks. I get far superior battery life out of el29 gingerbread with MIUI on my S2. Only way I think I'll update to ICS is if Jellybean comes out to put over top of it.
For what it's worth, when I first rooted my E4GT back in May I had terrible battery life as well. It has come a long way. There are lots of ROM's to choose from but the Blu Kuban (you have to enjoy the theme) has been excellent with battery life. I had 24 hrs yesterday with email, voice, some messaging and web. Attached is a screen shot showing what I have as of now. Of course there are apps that drain the phone but they did that on GB as well. I have not regretted ICS at all.

I'm not calling you a liar by any means, but I've done it twice now with no ill effects. It is completely possible though and if so I am lucky to have not bricked my phone. All I know is after I did it the hang ups and such from ff18 lessened significantly. Thank you for the warning though.

I flashed about 5 different EL29 roms and haven't flashed ics once.Because i know that ics is nowhere near ready yet and there isn't cwm for it yet.
The whole procedure is tricky(i can do it),flashing cm7 and then ics.And to go back to gb is think Odin i best bet if you don't want a brick.
Once there is stable ics and stable cwm for ics so i can flash different roms(without flashing cm7 first) then i will make that move.But i ditched Sprint and flashed to Virgin Mobile and i don't have warranty anymore to fix Epic if it bricks.

Battery life in low signal areas. Certain incompatibility in some apps. (words with friends, for example.) And scrolling.
It really depends on ur needs. I agree that the ICS leaks are a lil flaky. I appreciate what the devs have done and all, but now ive moved on to asop cm9. It is ridiculously smooth! And notifications work perfectly. I dont use gps, i rarely use camcorder anyways. Although these deficits are ok with me, others so not much.

Honestly my main reason is due to all the constant updates. I personally tweak each ROM I run as what I want isn't readily available and I can do the work myself to make the build I am after. I get one done and a new one pops out. Which is great and frustrating at the same time. The fact that not everything is out for it either puts a damper on it too. Like a hotspot hack for the latest builds. I don't blame any of the devs for not keeping it updated as once they do update it another build comes out. That is a lot of work. Just moving PNG's around is a ***** much less coding framework files. It is little things that will take source for people smarter then me to fix. As far as issues I really haven't had a lot of them. The battery and scrolling can be aggravating. The notification sounds is a little annoying too but easily dealt with. But mainly I just would rather run a complete build now. Gather my PNG's and such and then once a final build is out. Make the one I have been waiting for.
Just wondering if you guys are sticking to GB and why. I've tried FF18 and it's okay. CM9 is amazing but I don't think its solid like EL29 (IMO). But overall CM9 is solid. No flaming but I want to hear what you guys think.

Be it poor battery life, MMS not working, audio bugs, Pandora not playing, GPS not locking, whatever, ICS sucks on the E4GT.

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.

I love ics but the horrible speeds I encounter with my bandwidth brought me back to gb. I tried everything to get descent speeds and ended up losing the battle. Even resorted going back to stock ota and bringing the phone to Sprint so they could look at it. GB is the place to be for me and my bandwidth. I just wish the forum would branch sub cats for ics and GB users so I don't have to scroll for 20 mins looking for old GB roms

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.

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

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.
Which is more stable in term of battery and speed. I just feel that jellybean has more features and ice cream sandwich is more stable. So I'm undecided

As of right now I would go with cm9 beta 1 because it is extremely stable compared to the jb roms and it has pretty good battery

Ics of course. There is no source released yet for JB. Read through the threads to see what people are experiencing on the browser you are interested in. It might be that the issues that people have with jelly bean you don't care about or can deal with.

I just want a really good battery rom.... I'm sick of touchwiz. But I'm guessing they have the best battery life?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Supposedly. There is a lot you can do to effect your battery life. I get excellent battery on cm9 beta 1 which is aosp. Who's know how the people who complain about battery life use their phones or what they have synced or if they use proper install instructions. I never had battery issues on the ff18 or fh13 otas either. So I'm not sure how much you can count on people. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after updating on the otas. And I make sure I do exactly as the OP says to do when installing a rom. If you do flash something go through the thread to see how people help with battery life like un syncing stuff you don't use etc. Also give the rom a few days to settle before freaking out and reverting to something else. You can always really tweak with stuff and under clock and what not'

How is the battery power? On a scale of 1-10 and why do you give it the rating you do?

Well just installed it taday. But there was a leak of it and battery was good. I would get about 13 hrs and about 3 1/2 hrs screen time. Im a really heavy user. From 1-10 I give it a 10. I think everybody running this will agree with me.

Thanks! I might check it out! Do you have a link to the thread for it? I am somewhat new here, and even when I search for a ROM, I have trouble finding the thread :/ I'm not sure why.

Just to warn you, I got horrid 3g speeds with fk23...But I think it could be an area thing...
fi27 and f127 modem with agat fi27 v0.6.8 with the rom call lightweight 0.5 its great I get around 9 hrs heavy uses sometimes when I im bored I switch to a backup of jb fk09 tweaked signed I get about 8 hrs heavy uses
Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just wondering, can you define 'heavy'? I personally use my phone at school all the time, I listen to music through headphones about 1/2 of my total day(4 hours or so) and I will also spend a lot of time texting, browsing the web, and using apps that use data. I'm honestly constantly on my phone, and will have to charge it around 3 times per day.

Right now I'm on miui trying it out for the first time getting used to no app drawer. Favorite ROM for a daily (if I had one lols) would have to be Living Rejects. I flash it at least twice a week. Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^

I run PA 2.54. I love being able to chg dpi per app easily and I am a CM fan. CM10 (which PA is built on) is fast and I get good battery.

I remember trying PA, and I was getting absolutely terrible battery life. Is there something I may have done wrong?

I'm running blazer 4.1 gingerbread I like ics and jb but I always come back to blazer 4.1 gingerbread because to me it is the most stable, faster, and battery life is much much better.
Sent from My Sexy Epic Touch
I still use the calkulin v3.0 custom gingerbread rom because it has been the most stable, fastest, and longest lasting, battery life-wise. I recently tried the one-click fk23 jellybean but ran into some problems so I flashed back to calkulin...Gonna try the fk23 again tomorrow though. ;p
