Since there was the official release of ics for the E4GT FF18 if I'm not mistaken, I'm asking does it mean that their is a fully stable ics rom bug free?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Nothing is ever bug free but all of the current roms not in alpha are stable enough for daily use.
Stable ics roms have been out before the official ics update.. The hype for us rooted users is that we got source.. But yes there are plenty of stable ics roms out there.. Make sure to read the OP.. Should have the bugs listed

I've been running the Blu Kuban from RUJELUS for months now, even before the official ICS release, and I couldn't be happier. There is even a ROM Updater built into it so you can update straight from your phone and the ROM itself is completely customizable without having to hook it back up to your PC for flashing. I can go 2 days with light-moderate use without needing to charge, and a full day from 7am to midnight with heavy use.
It's the cleanest and smoothest running ICS ROM I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. Calkulin's is good as well.

Unfortunately Calk's is outdated and he's not supporting it anymore. I went with Blazer ICS and it's running great for me. I like that it's debloated with very little themeing or 3rd-party apps added. There are also a bunch of mods that you can add on for more features (like adding reboot options to the power menu or fixing the GPS drivers). Recommended for sure.

So I'm looking for a vanilla ics ROM. touch wiz must die!
Trim and minimal with 4g tether.
Everything works and it's stable.
I'll settle for gingerbread if I have to but I would prefer the latest and greatest.
you're probably wondering why I'm not doing my own homework and figuring this out on my own, well I should be. I would too if I wasnt working so much, and my work doesn't allow me to net surf. Lame excuse but hey I'm honest.
Can someone link me to the awesome or am I asking too much?
There are no stable ICS ROMs yet.
Any GB ROM you choose will work. And you can theme it to look exactly like ICS.
I used Blazer ROM with ACS' ICS theme. The ROM had the 4G Sprint Hotspot hack built in, and if you choose an alternate launcher you can get rid of TW - ADW EX with Kovdev's ICS theme (from the Market) works great.
Good luck.
In my experience right now the 2 best roms out are Phantom Hackers Blazer rom and StrongSteve's odexed blue. They are all great but those 2 seem to be the most stable and smoothest running on my phone. Also everything works with those 2. Miui Is nice and I am dying to try it but it still has some bugs and with my roms I need EVERYTHING to work even if I don't use a certain feature that often.
well thank you both. before i posted this thread i used calkins ics rom which eats up batter and doesnt seem to work all that well. and ill try blazer rom as soon as i figure out how to get my cwm recovery back.
weird when i have flashed roms on htc phone the recovery is usually left alone and flashed separately.
oh well.
You're better off with the stability of an official release from that has been tweaked by a dev. Leaks are flaky and usually never without something not working. I like blazer 4 with a different theme.
What themes are compatible with blazer 4.0?

I have had really good luck with BLEND GOODNESS ROM. Battery life is ok on it, not as good as my old GB ROM. This ROM is good enough to be used as a daily driver.

Just for clarification the issue with the battery going from 65% to 15% wasn't because Calk's ROM was unstable it's an issue across all the leaks. The issue isn't so much that your battery is dying uber fast, it's an issue with the battery software (that tracks and reports your battery percentage) not being calibrated to the actual hardware/battery. Any time you install a new ROM you should allow for one to two full discharge and charging cycles before you get a real solid battery reporting. Unfortunately with the leaks coming out as fast as they are this hasn't been much of a reality...
As far as stable and awesome? I'm a big fan of the Miljzz's Goodness Blend. It's awesome! If you're going for more of a stock feel Calk's been cranking them out too.
EDIT: I heard that Venum's is pretty cool but I haven't tried it yet.
+1 to Blend! It's smooth and sexy.
I have been following "The ICS Goodness Blend" for a while now and it is MUCH more stable than when the first ICS leak came out. I have had no SOD on V1.9 yet.
I was say Venoms new ics rom bcuz its been running perfect...very good battery life for me and also Mijj rom as well...but im currently running Venoms and its excellent!!!
Mijjah Blend ICS ROM by far
Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions and see.

There are only two ics roms for our phone, aosp (cm9, miui) and Samsung (fb and fc based roms). Any other ROM is just a themed or scripted version of the previously mentioned and will have all the same bugs.

If you want rock solid stability I suggest running blazer 4.1, which is gingerbread. But if ICS is what you want, you could run stock ff18. In addition, all of the custom ROMs based on ff18 should be more or less the same in terms of stability. Choose whichever one you like.

You could give Blu Kuban a try.
Also, give different modems a try but make sure she always updates her PRL & Profile after every modem flash, then give it time to settle in. If that one doesn't get her speeds up, try another using the same method above. Sometimes you have to try the whole lot before you find what works best in your area. Again, update PRL & Profile after every modem flash, don't just give it a few minutes or hours to prove its worth, give it a day or so then flash another if that one doesn't do well.
Whats stable on here for one may not be for another. I use CM9 nightlies with no issues at all. Honestly if you want a rom for someone that does not care about flashing go GB throw a theme on it and let them enjoy life.
Anything else you will find yourself tinkering with it. although I am on the nightly from 6/21 and have not looked back.
I'm a big fan of tFF18. I find it stable and nimble. Easy to work with and good theming.

Same here. I've been following the AOKP builds from when they were first brought here up till now.
CM 9
EDIT: No matter what ICS rom you choose, be VERY careful to read, understand and follow the installation instructions. Otherwise, you're going to end up with a very expensive brick. Also, check your MD5s.
-----------
I've been using CM 9 since v.A5, and I'm quite pleased with it. I can't say I've had stability problems with it, but the setup process can be tricky.
You have to get a GPS lock and update your Profile / PRL either right before upgrading or using their multiboot rom option (which worked perfectly for me).
Also, you need to remember to install the google apps separately, but I believe all AOSP roms have a similar requirement.
However, once you've passed these initial hurdles, the ROM runs great. I have no complaints and use it as my daily driver. I use Maps, 4G, Netflix, a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and so on. My family teases me that whenever I'm not in front of a computer, I'm in front of my phone, so that should give you some insight on how thoroughly I use it.
Currently I have been using touch of sgsIII rom for about a week with no issues at all it has the voice talk and music player and messaging from the samsung galaxy s III and I am really liking the feel of this rom the only issue is that the sound effects are not working in the music player but I can personally deal with that til they find a fix other than that great work team rejects on this rom and I recommend it to anyone. But like said above one rom can work good for one and not another so give it a try and see how it works out for you.

I have four roms I rotate between, restoring and updating as new releases come out. I have had nothing but great experiences with all these, sans the occasional burp. Once I had them set up the way I like, all have been trouble free. If I had to pick the high points of each I would say Agat's rom is the best all around with great speed and battery life. Venum Ice has an original color scheme and lots of bells and whistles. M'ICS feels very similar to Ice to me but has a Cyan color theme. Blu Kuban is like a different animal in that it has an updater built in that lets you change tons of visual and functional settings.

Let me leave you with this... If I had to pick one of these and never flash again, my choice would prolly change any day you asked me. All are rock solid and well supported by great devs that are very active and responsive to their base. I can honestly say you can't go wrong with any of these.

Why : smooth as silk, nothing i've tried to do hasn't not worked (yes thats a double negative, thats how awesome it is) and paired with the undervolting capabilities of KT747 the battery life is amazing
What more could you ask for in a rom/kernel combo.....other than maybe a sammich
I've used PA, CM10 and AOKP, but im on SlimBean for now. Use to use CM10 as DD but its been very buggy lately. Tried PA for a few weeks but hybrid mode is nothing special, and AOKP had bad battery life for me. SlimBean is ok, not the best but good enough to be a DD. Battery Life is decent. Never tried Baked rom yet but it looks interesting...
I don't really feel like I have a DD just yet. I'm still going thru the searching process for one. For a while, I was using Blazer, then I switched to a couple different JB leaks. I ran a couple different versions of Drew Garen's JB Roms: Milestones 2, 3 & 3.5. They weren't stable enough for me to use daily because of too many force closes and random re-boots. Then I switched to Graffixnyc's BlackJelly: Versions 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8.
I like the theming done in BlackJelly. But lately in V0.8, I've been getting random re-boots. I'm going to test drive Serinity next (probably flash it later today).
I'm really just hopping around sampling everyone elses theming until the official JB is released, then I will probably flock to the one I liked best with a stable ROM. By the way, I don't use any touchwiz, I prefer to use Nova Launcher.
I haven't tried any CM10 or AOKP yet. I'll probably do that when it moves away from nightlies (not that the JB leaks are more stable by any means).
I use liquid rc5, tried switching to pa 2.21, and aokp build 4, but nothing seems to work as well as liquid. New play store installed and working, and as well as jb flash player. Battery is good, but and i never had strong 4G where I'm at, and but I get 5 bars consistently here with liquid. I love it as a daily.

Currently waiting on the UPS man to deliver our two E4GT's. I have the samsung driver's installed and ready to go. I am leaning towards using Odin to restore a rooted FK23. But I have made alot of consideration's on some of these other packaged rom's. In the past I would just install a cyanogenmod variant and never look back till there was a update. But reading around here, CM does not seem all that popular? Maybe because the stock based rom's are so good?
What would you choose? FK23 is getting alot of good reports. Maybe something based off of it?

fk23 offers a lot of new features that those of us that had the phone for over a year aren't used to so its something new. CM10 b2 is running great if you're into cm. King Kang is also running great. To get started out I'm gonna recommend you Odin el29 cwm, then flash cm10 over that
Lightweight v.05..easy.
Awesome installation process, and this ROM runs without any hiccups for me.
Fk23
Re-calked. So many mods. You will get used to flashing stuff after flashing those mods
Any FK23. Stock Rooted is real slick and stable.
I would personally flash a custom ics rom. Get used to flashing roms and mods on the e4gt then choose your rom. I personally have only flashed Mijjz roms because I follow Team Nocturnal, but everyone has their own opinion. Right now I'm sticking with stock jb until either Rw and Mijj put out a jb rom or source drops

Hello. You are asking the question we all have soon after getting our phone.
I will get to the bread and butter for you. Please note, this is from my experience only. I can't speak for everybody because as I am sure you know, NO ....NO.... two users are the same.
So, I have had the E4GT for around 5 months now. Love the phone....hate the battery life, but for this kind of power...I expected a weak battery. So firstly....get the extended battery!
Roms....Hahahahaha...so many. I have tried a lot. My phone came with ICS installed. Within a week I moved to CM9 beta 1....not bad....then to black rom....then to jellyverse....than went to a gingerbread build CM....than found " the blu kuban" Man I love the kuban. Tried the Ginger bread build and ICS build too. I AM back on the ICS build because GB build kept acting like I had a slide out keyboard. But man the kuban is awesome. It allows you to pick what you want installed upon first installation. Sweet...so sweet. It has tons of tweaks built in. It allows you to tweak everything from charging to boot animations inside the settings. I am telling you....try what you want, but once you get comfortable with the kuban you will always come back to it. I just left the new leaked jellybean Fk23 2 days ago...returning to the blue kuban. Fk23 was way to lagging for me...typing had delays, Apps hesitated to open and close....just way to slow.
Here is the link I use for roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/SPH-D710/ROMs
It is a bit old, but a great start for you. Also...
Qbking77 has tons of YouTube walkthroughs and review videos posted for the E4GT. I hope this helps you get started, have fun....find what best suits you...but do try the Blu Kuban.....it is worth a spin.
Goodluck. Happy rom'ing....FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CLOSELY!
P.S. your comment about CM roms....it is because our phone has yet to get a stable release of CM :-\ something about how long it took for the cyanogenmod team to get the source code for the phone. I AM no Dev..and it has been a while since I read the article about it...but please note...there is NO stable CM for the E4GT as of yet. CM 10 is on beta 2 and CM9 is on beta 1.

depends on your mode. If your thinking TW, then i'd go with mattix's FK23. Otherwise the PAC MAN rom (aokp+cm10+paranoid android) is pretty nifty thanks to KB!
I have had the reboot on the rom updater.... never a boot loop. I did have a boot loop on my first install....but did a factory reset inside recovery...and it fired up fine after that. For the Kuban you HAVE to use the format all zip....and also begin with flashing a safe recovery. I Followed QBKING77's video for the rouge recovery install...than flashed the kuban from there. Also...the thread for the kuban is huge....all sorts of problems addressed inside that thread. All my questions have been answered just reading through them all or searching the thread for a certain topic.
Still...no one rom is a perfect fit for everybody. I recommend starting by putting a safe recovery on the phone first and foremost...than begin doing rom flashes from there. Test and tune....then try another.
I have tried almost all the roms in the link I posted earlier....I like different things in each one...but the Kuban keeps calling me back. I hate lag mostly....and I get that on a lot of roms. Only time the kuban lags.....for me.....is on certain governors....like saveged Zen....FOR ME.
Just be sure to get on a safe recovery first, than read and follow any roms directions closely....than all is safe after that.
Also Qbking has a how to unbrick your phone video that will help you a ton. It will require a file download.....Hahahahaha, save.....SAVE that file. It will come in handy with this phone due to the crazy flash/brick bug that seems to be inside it.
Why can't Samsung use a safe flashing setup? They have to try to be intelligent...or seem so at least.
Once again, goodluck...I hope we have helped you. I have seen my share of problems so feel free to PM me for any help. I will be happy to help if I can, or help you search for an answer.
Also....the fk23...yea, it has some great new features....but I would wait for a custom, sped up build of it. On start up after install I had 300 megs of ram free...on the kuban I have 500+, cm9 500+, cm 10 450+.....fk23 down too 200+ within an hour of use :-\
Peeps will say that free ram does not mean faster...but to me....knowing what little I do know about android....it means a ton when it comes to the E4GT.

So far the ones I keep going back to are any of the FK23 roms or CNA I love the customization of aosp based roms but FK23 I get awesome battery life compared to aosp. The kuban is insanely stable and great battery life.
I used to be a huge fan of cm on previous devices then I got a taste of aokp left cm all together but felt something was missing then I tried cna which has in my opinion the best of aokp and cm.
