there are many. its all personal preference. I don't know about purple roms but there is Blu Kuban, stable, good battery life from what I've seen.
M'ICS is stable more of a teal color rom. sleshepic's new kernel is very battery friendly. and HoOliGaN RoM is stable as well. Its a red color rom. Agat63 kernel is good on battery as well. you could run FF18 stock rooted with sleshepic's or agat's kernel with like Go Launcher and use a purple theme. I know they have one, search the market (go launcher themes). so its all up to you.

Someone just released a girly themed ICS not 3 days ago, aaaand found it.

I would recommend calkulins 4.0.4 rom. I get almost a full days battery life. Also run his battery saver script after applying the rom. I don't recall if its automatically applied.
Here's the rom:

Main Post updated with theme friendly CRT off animation flashable .zip for UnNamed Rom
This is one pretty theme. Nice choices for what you pulled together from other places for sure. If I get UnNamed to settle in for some decent battery life (everyone says it's great - some say better than Calk's latest - but I'm not happy with it compared to Calk's 2.5.1 ROM. This is one i will definitely take out for a spin if I stay with UnNamed. Great work, man!
If you arent happy with UnNamed Rom , ive heard that this theme works just fine with calks latest. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

[Q] Top Epic Roms

Just curious so if anyone wants to chime in please do ok ive noticed since the last month or so there seems to be 2 roms that stay updated and the most popular which are Calk and StrongSteves and he uses Calk's as base so my question is has anyone tried both and came to any honest conclusions on which is better and if Strong Steves just a themed version of Calk's
I have been extremely happy with Calk. Great battery life and speed.
If you like battery life, check this out;
Calk's 2.0.1a + Rogue 1.3 kernel

I was waiting to hear which rom was the best, 4g is a must. Im looking for a rom where everything works, no fc or reboots. a rom that has been used or at least ten days without problems. I just got the epic touch, still have my old epic and I have flashed my old one many of times. Many of great roms but ater a couple of days the fc or reboot, trying my best to avoid that. So If I have to I will wait as long as I need to for a nicely tweak new rom. I have read and strong steve looks and sound really nice along with tnz blend, any help on the matter.

Daily driver plus tweaks ... Id say cauklins is most stable. Its a harder choice with these epic devs cus to be honest almost all these Roms are pretty damm solid for being a young phone. A lil better battery here, a lil better reception there...they're all pretty stablestable. Reboots stopped with the EK02 modem for me. And the only fc I've had is between zeam and my pandora folder. But zeam fixed it.
Coming from the HTC hero and the OGepic ...where there was a lot of test and error...were lucky to have some good smart seasoned devs on this phone...not to say they're decent ppl but they do decent work ;D memory leaks, LOS, reboots etc...get stomped out pretty fast.
Sent from the future
To the OP; I would check out the Starburst ROM. The latest build makes it extremely easy to flash with CWM. It offers the best stock experience in my opinion. It's an absolutely flawless ROM which is basically a stock Epic ROM stripped down for speed. The most stable build has been out for over a month and it's made by one of the most respectable devs for the Epic.
There are some options for customization as well and you can flash the latest official kernel/modem for the phone. The ROM is 100% stable, I have been running it since I got my Epic and wouldn't run anything else.
It's not a flashy ROM however, I like the build, it's super fast and stable, all of what you are asking for.

Have you tried just using widgetlocker? I switched to it when I got the ET and I love it. The integration with screebl pro is amazing. Once you've switched to a screebl/widgetlocker combo, you will be unable to stand not having it. Best 5 bucks I've ever spent on my phone ($2 for screebl/$3 for widgetlocker)
Yeah I used widget locker for some time but the issue with that is it acts like an application not a lock screen.

You may want to try TNz Blend with the optional TSM parts. I've been running it for a few days now and it's an excellent ROM. I'm a bit surprised it doesn't get more attention honestly. I'd say it's a bit of a sleeper hit. Not to mention the huge selection of themes available and they keep coming. It sounds like it would suit your needs if you want to give it a spin.

Quick question though... how's the performance on that rom?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I highly recommend Strong Steve's odexed Rom. It's fast, smooth, never had a crash or a random reboot and the battery life is great. I put Go launcher and Go locker on it with an ICS lockscreen. Lots of themes are available for Go launcher. Rujelus22's Blu Kuban Rom is nice too and has TSM parts already baked in so there's a bunch of different lockscreens to choose from. I kept getting hot reboots with it and some other users do as well so I switched to SS's.
Try GoLocker.
Use UnNamed ROM and add the transparent lock screen to it. Im never going to another ROM. It has all of the bells and whistles, but with a stock lock screen. Every single ROM that has the lock mod on it has problems. I can vouch that it gives random reboots, lock screen ring changes colors on honeycomb, and the theming needs some major work. But that is just my opinion. Never knew I would've liked the transparent look.

why not get a lockscreen app for the lockscreen? I personally am on:
Calks v2.8.1
rogue kernel 1.4.1 (1.5 hitman would not OC for me)
EL29 Modem
and I have absolutely no issues.. Ive tried MiUi, blazer, strongsteves rom, and pretty much every rom in the development section with different kernels and even tested the quadrant scores, different OC settings, and calks beat them all hands down.. I notice a lot of devs on here share, if you notice Calkulin is everywhere!

He could start with FE07 leak. It's ICS with TW and its pretty stable compared to some of the earlier leaks. It's an easy flash, too, thanks to sfhub's odin. You can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642564
That is a hard question to answer as everyone has a favorite for different reasons. They are all pretty stable. Calkulins E4GT 2 is one of the more stock looking with a few battery saving tweaks. Blend ICS "Goodness" has really nice themed ics look and has very similar tweaks. AOKP Roms are fairly stable abd have built in ROM Control which is very nice. I'm using HyDrA tablet hybrid ROM and its stable, but because of the dpi settings the market sees the phone as a tablet and you have to change your dpi to download regular apps from the market.

Another vote for fe07 leak then if your friend likes it send them here to figure it out on their own.
FE07 will be your best option for a beginner. Don't go to AOSP until source kernels are released. FE07 will be the most stable. CM9 is very stable too though.
Wow you guys are really far ahead. All we got is skyrocket ports and the tmo ics leak that just dropped lol. Kudos gents.

The reason for this is because of the kernel for ICS not being released from Samsung/Sprint yet. It's pretty simple to do all the regular CWM functionality on an ICS based ROM though - Use Odin (or highly recommended: Mobile Odin from the play store, which doesn't require a PC) and put the el26 CWM kernel on your phone (it's found many places, like the AOKP OP for example). It wont boot up with this kernel so just boot into recovery and from there you can backup, flash themes, wipe things, and then to get back to your ROM simply flash an AOSP tweaked kernel - also readily available (in AOKP OP again).
Certainly a few more steps than we were used to on GB Roms but it's totally worth it to me. ICS is a massively better experience for me so the few hoops to jump through are worth it. When that source kernel hits (any day now) it will be the land of milk and honey.

What's your FAVORITE E4GT rom?

Just like the title says, it can be a gb/ics/jb rom, doesn't matter.
What's the rom that keeps you running back?
What's been the most reliable/fastest rom?
For me personally I have to say CM10 because I love JB. Coming in at a close second would be the Blu Kuban.
Aaaaand go....
I really liked Codename JB rom but the battery life wasn't good enough for everyday use. I know I will be back on that rom soon. In the meantime I have been on a vanilla aosp ICS rom for the past few weeks. Longest I have been on anything.

I've only had my phone since the ICS update....is a GB rom worth switching back to for battery/data speeds/general stability? If so, which one would you recommend? Just the stock EL29?

I certainly apologize. I have not seen this other thread you speak of. Furthermore, next time I create any kind of post I will tirelessly search for a same/similar one.
CNA for a JB rom
Universe rom, and currently ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz for a ICS rom
ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz is sweet because it has EVERY THING..... google now, samsung voice, JB lock screen........ GREAT ROM!

gingerbread is just way out dated as far as support/looks/ bells and whistles... but wat it lacks in looks it makes up with battery and stability.. everything works and you can't go wrong with it... but its just a rom I keep on my SD card cuz it will always work no matter wat..

Looks like the download link is bad. I've tried 3 times and they won't flash. The first one have me boot loop and the next 2 wouldn't even flash.

I don't really think this is a support thread for specific roms, however I'll try it now and report back.
Edit: Booted it up no problem.

What I meant was another thread like this, there have been several threads that were similar that have been closed. Everyone has their own opinion, yours will be different, millage may vary, blah blah blah.
No offense to you in any way, I just don't see this lasting long.

CM and MIUI have been my goto roms for any phone that's been supported. Of the 2 though, I'm partial to MIUI. Love the style of it (with ADW Ex launcher) and the customization.
