.....aside from Calkulin's E4GT 2 rom, since it seems he's moved on to other projects. Is there another currently maintained ICS rom which tries to stay faithful to the appearance of the original samsung stock rom?

um, the stock FF18 rooted. I'd say go thru the dev section and check out the screenies of all the ICS roms and see which one you like.

just so you know when I did a barebone rom for UnNamed I went in and got rid of extra languages extra ringtone Kies and fonts. Now thats when brings it down to barebone in my opinion. You need to find one of the old school original barebone roms that were put out and see what has been removed and duplicate it on the EL29 rom of your choice. I cut out about 75 -100 megs

This is probably the best rom based on the stock build already optimized, tweaked and ready to go. Download 3 things from the OP on that thread, the 'format all', the rom and the bare rom converter and you should be good to go.
If you get tired of the stock look, you can find plenty of themes around or use a third party app like Go Launcher that has plenty of downloadable themes.
There are plenty of pre-themed roms available out there based on stock as well.
Naerok rom thats it I just remembered he was the base I used for my removal party... Its all up to you OP when I decided to go barebone I wanted everything removed. Most of the scripts I see just remove system/app stuff. Also there are threads that say whats safe to remove in our phones if you are worried but once again I believe they are all system/app files
Hi guys I'm new to the epic touch and was wondering if it is safe to flash a Ff11 from an already installed ff11 rom and how or is it necessary to restore to gingerbread before flashing the new ff11 rom. Lastly, what is the most stable ICS ROM with everything working? I tried AOKP and it had messed up video recording and bad wake up lag. Thank You

Yes it should be safe but just do yourself a favor and only flash, back, restore, wipe, etc from el26 cwm kernel/recovery. Most stable ICS rom would probably be just a stock leak or maybe calks 1.6 rom. I personally use CM9 and its good.
Thanks I did just that. A question though, why do the rooms have wake up lag... Is there a way to fix this?

Personally I wouldn't take the chance with the emmc bug. It takes like2 minutes longer but I ALWAYS flash back to el26. Just not worth chancing a brick.

All ics roms are still leaks. Some devs have been working on tweaks but no source yet to work from. Soon we hope.
I flash from EL29 there is no difference in flashing from EL26 or EL29. I have been using team venom's roms and they work great and really could be an over the air with absoultly no bugs what so ever. I use my phone fro work all day long 5 days a week and havent had the first minutes trouble.
I have flashed Multiple ROMS, and if your looking for batter life, the any ROM from Mijjz of Team Venum is definitely what you want they are all stabil. I am currently using "Mijjz Blend ICS " No Name" ROM. the Xplod Mini rom runs on a sony based kernel and works well, so if you want a differnt interface its a great choice while still keeping the battery life. Blu Kuban Rom is great if you want a variety of optional tweaks built into the ROM. There is a new Team on here called Team Rejectz they just released a new ROM that looks great, I'll be flashing that this morning, and Give you guys an update on how that turns out. I always flash back to either EL29 or EL26 before flashing a new ICS Rom.

Same here I have been using cm9 as my daily driver for the passed couple weeks and it is rock solid stable! Love ICS I cant imagine going back to Gingerbread after the ICS experience. Its alot faster, way nicer and just overall smashes gingerbread. Lol Not like IOS5-IOS6 where ya get 1 or 2 new features.. Features that Android have had since froyo..lool!
OK.. So every phone i have ever owned i have rooted, Kernels, anything and everything.
But here is my problem.. I have recently updated (manually) to the new ICS on my epic 4g touch.
I have tried all the roms pre this release and never had 100% luck with any so normally always ran stock os plus root.
I want to know if A) there are new roms post this recent update, B) if i root to another pre-existing rom is it going to mess it all up again.
Basically i want like CM10 out or something. Something made specifically for how the phone is now...
Any suggestions?? Im tired of stock. I want to customize!!! :crying:
Depends how custom you want to go. If you want to flash custom theme and modz, you must go with a deodexd ROM.
But if you want AOSP-ish look, agat has a very good stable and themed FF18 ROM he calls tFF18. It has a simple look, much different than stock tho, but it's built with a custom kernel and based off Samsung, not CM9 or 10
not sure if that helps.

The upcoming aosp builds should see a large improvement if it's of any interest to you

It does help!. So if i get this right... ANY deodexed rom or another option is tFF18. And these are both based off our current rooms so that EVERYTHING WORKS

Are there any other name brand roms out there i can look into?
Anything t look into specific??? As far as AOSP roms go, ive tried them in the past, but are you saying their newer version ones are friendly to the latest update?

Yes everything works. tFF18 is odex, so you can't change much of the ROM but it works incredibly smooth and stable. Also, practically all DEODEX'd ROMs have the hacked sprint hot spot for tethering. Stock and odex roms require the Wifi Tether app which is easily found by googling "wifi tether apk"

Aosp is nice and light weight, makes it super snappy, but you lose a couple convenient features from samsungs touch wiz UI.. My main gripe with going aosp/aokp is that my camera doesn't perform as well, where IMO Samsung did a nice job with the software.

Hello!
It's been quite awhile since I've been on here and got sick of Sony's ICS builds and how awful they are. So last night I unlocked my LT18a's bootloader and and flashed back to 4.1.A.0.562 firmware and rooted my device, I'm running DooMLords ICS Kernel as well.
So now I should be completely ready to flash ROM's, but I would like verify some things first. Since I'm on ICS, can I only installed ROM's based on ICS? Like CM9 etc..
I'm not sure how it works on the Arc S compared to other devices I have used in the past (Atrix, Nexus S etc..)
To the best of my knowledge, as long as your on an ICS kernel, you can flash ICS based roms. CM9 has its own kernel I'm pretty sure you have to use.
Each Rom should indicate what it is compatible with in the thread, but from my adventures, if your on an ICS kernel, you can only flash ICS roms.
as a general rule, keep like with like. GB kernels for GB roms and ICS kernels for ICS roms.
and of course CM kernels with CM roms.
Which Rom were you thinking of flashing?

Ah, sounds right. Thanks for all the information.
I just flashed the official CM9 with the Free Xperia kernel it and it seems to be working nicely.
Awesome, glad I could help mate

The whole development and original development having different threads is confusing, could someone point me into the direction of an optimized stock based ROM (Deodexed and the like.?) perhaps similar to ARHD?
Anything you highly recommend?
I just unsoftbricked my friend's sgs3 after he did some bad flashes or something else weird, thankfully ODIN worked fine. He was trying to switch back to stock rooted from Liquidsmooth, I suggested Carbon but he wants something stock/stock-based apparently. If nothing exists I'll put him on stock rooted.
Thanks for any help!

Stock based roms are in android development, aosp roms are in original development. Freeza's rom is stock, clean rom is stock debloated. There are others too, just read each roms OP.
I would also recommend MOAR (Mother of All ROMS) and TPR (The Peoples ROM), both are in android development

Actually TW ROMs are in Android development and AOSP ROMs are in both original and android development.

That's true, thanks for correcting me.
If you're looking for a stock ROM with some mods added in I would suggest MOAR, TPR, or as selfish as it sounds, my ROM. Link below.
