I highly recommend viper rom! I get great battery and speed from the latest release. And I have no force closes at all.

The OP said he did not want to use odin and upgrade the modem.
But, I do agree that the latest viper rom is great. Using odin to upgrade the modem is not difficult and the epic is pretty much impossible to brick so I would encourage you to try upgrading your modem to dk28 and going with viper or bonsai. Both are great roms. If you don't like them it is easy to use odin to return to stock.

Yeah i agree, however viper has to much going on like the lock and unlock sounds get annoying afther a while but its still a good rom. Bonsai is probably the best rom I think super smooth and no f/c.

Syndicate rom is exactly what your looking for. No odin runs on Di18.

Oh my bad, I thought the DI18 viper rom was still available but I just checked and it isn't. So then my next opinion is Syndicate or Epic Experience.

If you're looking for a DI18 ROM, OP, just click the link in my signature.

If you want 2.1: Go with ACS rom
If you want 2.2: Go with midNIGHT, bonsai, or viper [in that order]
I was on midNIGHT for the longest and it is fast, stable, everything works! I'm currently on viper. I def like the rom. I find that the battery seems to drain faster than midNIGHT even though i'm getting about 9hrs on viper. Navigation is not working atm, but i'm sure it'll be fixed by the weekend.
That said, being a former hero owner, it may seem confusing and hard at first but its really not difficult at all... just read up and drop a reply, someone will be willing to help!

Hey man I came from a Hero and I felt really intimidated too. I actually thought I bricked my Epic first and then had to learn how to use ODIN. Its actually pretty sweet because as long as you can boot into "download mode" on your phone (the number 1 and power) you can restore back to stock via ODIN. I would suggest you take the time read up on how to use ODIN and flash the dk28 build with the modem. Just be aware that it can mess with GPS.
I finally have a ROM I like "Truley Epic Rebirth" its the only DK28 Rom that has a modified kernel that will give you full adb permissions. Every other Rom only gives you root permission via shell with is annoying if you do any font customizations or custom boot-screens etc...

Bonsai ROM definitely! 4G Sprint hotspot app works, nav, gps, no force closes. I'm running it with ADW on top and it's quite stable.

do as he says! if you don't want to upgrade to dk28 modem then syndicate ROM is def the way to go.. smoothest dkI18 rom out.

Flashing zips is easy with the epic. I say try em all and decide for yourself which one you like best. Load up your sd card and while watching your favorite tv show flash away until you find one you like. I will tell you this though, all of the 2.2 roms are based on the same kernel until we have an official source so there isn't a whole lot of difference. As far as appearance goes you can theme over any rom. Personally I'm running midnight rom with the emotionless beast theme but I change my rom out from time to time, one thing I don't change is my theme. Love the emo beast!

If you want to go to froyo then def. Bonsai. A new version is getting ready to be released and its fast and very stable.

Rooting for BOOST?

I just got the Epic 4G Touch from BOOST (White version). Right now I am bone stock, 4.0.4 FI22. I'm looking to ROOT it and run this ROM
([ROM] [TeaM VeNuM] RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban FI27). Now my question is, since its on Boost, is there any difference in rooting and rom'ing? Will the methods work for mine?
If there are any differences please let me know. I have searched but Im not really finding anything.
Links would be much appreciated.
Thanks! Joe

I have the same problem .. Have you found anything? I was reading the threads and saw an interesting one with a guy named codegerm i believe . He said f122 can be rooted. I tried a pm but never got a reply

I haven't found anything yet I'm debating about trying a one-click-root for the closest build to FI22. BUT, I dont want anything bad to happen. Not being a full tester, I cant just pull a new phone out of pocket to test it. Would be nice though, haha.

Or you can just flash agats kernel. Then from his recovery flash a su zip that contains binaries and the superuser app. Then you will be using stock rooted

You can use agats kernel to get root, once you have root you can flash whatever rom and kernel you want as long as its for the EPIC 4G TOUCH and is compatible with the rom. Im running the BLU KUBAN rom on my BOOST MOBILE EPIC 4G TOUCH. It comes with the KUBAN kernel, and I can confirm 3G,4G work flawless so does GPS and every thing else. hope this helps you

As said before, if my simple to follow guide is followed, you can be rooted in no time without much hassle, even the most novice user can do it.

Ok, I got it rooted, now Im actually trying to get Blu Kuban. What kernal did you use to flash that ROM? I read that you cant use Agats kernal to flash Roms. Ive seen the the GB kernal EL26 is safe. But that confuses me honestly.

It shouldn't matter. In my personal testing and daily usage, Agats is safe for flashing most ICS ROM's, but some say that when it comes to AOSP or AOKP to use the EL26.
If you want to be extra safe use the EL26 CWM kernel.

Ok. So Im on Blu Kuban now. Its going to take some getting use to. But what is THE best ROM for the E4GT? Best battery life, like the #1 option for users of this phone.

I reckon that there is no such thing as a "best ROM". I personally don't like blu kuban as it has the damn blu kuban wording everywhere like if I'm playing blues clues an a lot of menus are dark, making it impossible to see unless highlighted. See how easy it is for others to have different views of ROM's when it comes to picking a best ROM?
I suggest you take a look around for a ROM in your taste. There is lots of ROM's to choice from and in the end only you can decide which works best for you with a mixture of tweaking. OFC lets also remember that certain applications you use may affect your experience with battery life on ROMs.

I was using the CM10.1 nightly 4.2.2 rom that was released for the GS3 on March 15.

can you make calls ? I would check your IMEI make sure it did not get lost.

It sounds like you might have lost your IMEI, go into settings and make sure it is not on 0 or empty

I read about that, however my 3G was still working. it would just never go to 4G even at locations I always had 4G before.

after flashing have you ever saw the 4g icon ? if not I would go to the ROM thread and ask if it included in the ROM.

it was included in the rom, i even tried the •Jelly Bean 4.1.1 I535VRBLK3 Base from synergy and had the same issue. just went back to my Darthstalker X rom and it seems to be working again.

Well that sucks, but I am glad your 4G is back up and running. I have not ever flashed any CM10 when I had my S3 because of the losing IMEI crap instead I would flash AOSP ROM's and never had any problems. You may want to try one of those.

[APP]Awesome Note HD

Ok I've posted this in a few threads and there seems to be some interest in it so I'll throw it up here so it's easier to find. Works on all JB TouchWiz ROMs, works on some AOSP ROMs (hit or miss, you'll have to test. If you have it working on AOSP let me know what ROM and I'll start a list)

Feel like a noob... I just read 'for JB roms' on your description. It would be nice if you made one for ICS. Looks like it would come in handy. Otherwise, I can come back once I get my S3 or S4 with a JB rom.

I do have the E4GT. I can't upgrade to JB because I have her flashed to metropcs. As far as I know, MMS isn't working on JB (custom) on metropcs. So I am stuck on ICS. I bought this phone with GB and then found a solid TW stock rom without Sprint's baggage.

I can confirm that the MMS fix linked above works.
I'm on my E4GT flashed to MetroPCS running Domination ROM, Jellybean 4.2.2. The fix should work with TW too.

[Q] No LTE!!

I keep running into this problem of not being able to connect to 4G after I flash a custom ROM. I flash back to stock and I'm fine. I also tried flashing the modem. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

first, make sure 4G is suppose to work on the ROM. It's possible it may not.
If it suppose to, you may want to update your PRL and Profile. May be worth effort before you flash the new rom as well.

A
I've had this problem once or twice before. It was simple, but everyone's case is different.
Try going into settings, under wireless and networks click more settings and make sure you have lte along with the other 2 enabled. Could only be on cdma. Who knows, it fixed my problem.
Hope it works!

The ROMs I have tried have been cm10.1 based. I'm sure it is LTE ready but I could be wrong.
The ROM didn't have the option to update my PRL or Profile, is there another method?
The ROM is Avatar 2.13
My modem is MC2
My PRL is 55014
Galaxy note 2 SPH-L900

Yeah I tried rebooting the phone in CDMA/LTE still no luck. Only get LTE when i reflash the Stock ROM (rooted)

I don't know. I haven't tried CM since I've gotten the GN2.

Yeah I haven't flashed CM since I've had the Note either. Wish I could of been more helpful to you. Try pm'ing someone who's made a cm Rom?
There are a lot of nice people on Xda that are really helpful.
I assume you've tried using the search bar at the top?

Yeah I tried a few things I found but nothing worked. Gonna try hash codes next.
Would you recommend a good Custom Rom?

It is all user choice. Try them all, easy to flash. I like the minitab which I am currently running. Jellybomb or slimrom are other choices I would pick from. There are usually twerks and perks of custom roms. Make sure you read the op to the exact t.

Thanks man, im lovin Minitab. Having trouble getting youtube or netflix to work but sofar so good. I downloaded JellyBomb ill try it out tonight.

Its a cm10.1 problem. I'm in the same boat right now.
