I keep coming back to ICS but really liked this ROM, and really like the customization, but some things just don't work the way I want. One thing I liked from this ROM was the MMS app. Is there a way to port this to say Ariel ROM?

Hi all, I have just recently started using the custom roms available on this site and have a few questions. First of all I love the roms and they have a lot a cool new features and are snappy. the frustrations I am having though are...
1. the email app in cm7 (not picking on cm, just what I am currently trying right now) does not allow you to search your exchange inbox. this makes it really worthless...I could just go buy touchdown but when the Sense Roms have this built in you would think they could port it over to the vanilla roms.
2. the phone app does not allow you to search/dial directly from he dial pad (suuuucks), is there a phone app that you can install that actually is functional?
3. bluetooth on any of these vanilla roms never works. if I use a sense based rom the bluetooth will work fine.
I am new to custom Roms and such so if you can give me some direction I would appreciate it.
I have been looking around, and I can not seem to find a ROM I think I will like.
I came from HTC EVO 4G running Deck's ROM. Seemed very basic and vanilla Android.
Is there any ROMs like this yet for the Epic Touch? Driving me nuts because I really enjoyed that ROM (that is also the ONLY ROM I have ever used.)
Thanks!
Don't think there any any AOSP ROMS right now. There may be some works in progress. You can run launcher pro or another launcher to get the vanilla look, though! Everything will run the same if not smoother.
I see a lot of ICS themes and they are awesome man. But I do miss the ole AOSP GB look and feel. I have tried my best to make my own but honestly I don't have the time I wish I did to dedicate to it right now. If anyone feels up to it and wants to make one that would work with the latest ROMs I would be ever grateful.
Pretty much what I would like to see is a Vanilla GB style Theme. But anything AOSPish would be awesome. Thanks in advance to anyone that considers this.
Download latest blazer and instal gb launcher or go flash cm7 from the other site everything but GPS works

Appreciate the suggestions. I'm not ready to sacrifice functionality for true AOSP yet on this phone. I have the aosp launcher running on Calks and have modded most of the apks to have the aosp icons. What I'm looking for is like a aosp dialer and true aosp mms.apks and such. Once CM9 is released I will go towards true aosp roms. But not until. I did the whole aosp flashfest on my GS1 and not ready to do that yet. Plus the CM7 build you speak of wiped my SD card twice soso it still has some little bugs.
thought
have you tried the "clean" overlay from sprint ID?
Try this rom out. Looks like its picking up with some.

Yeah I was hoping that ROM would get updated and it did. I was so Happy to see it. Running it right now with a few personal Mods and loving it. Also I have never messed with sprint ID so not sure what that is. I will have to look into it.
So, browsing a little back and forth, and tried some of the ROMs that are available here. not many, but a few..
what i can say so far, is that i really love ICS from lord clockan. but not having a working camcorder(camera before) is really a dealbraker..
android Revolution HD was nice and fast i guess, but sense? yeeeah, cool widgets and all, but thats about it really.
cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 is what im currently using, and that is really nice, stable as a rock, smooth (enough) and never FC's.
BUT, i really dig that MIUI design :S so, can any of you recommend a MIUI ROM with working camera and camcorder?
Go to miui.us or miuiandroid also tons of them in the Rom theme manager or go to xda themes and look their misense 4.1 is a great theme. I hated cm7 due to it dialer and sms miui and sense are my personal choices. But once we get the correct drivers for cam sense 4 will be my favorite.
Good luck and enjoy

You really gotta dig your way back into previous pages in order to find MIUI roms. What i would say is that every MIUI rom is pretty much same with few tweaks here and there but let me tell you something which was told to me by a dev here which is that with MIUI roms your data is continuously sent to them through network i guess where they can pretty much see everything in a shape of a log.
Hey guys, sorry to noob it up.
I'm currently on an OG Epic running toadlife's final build of CleanGB. I'm due for an upgrade, and I'm considering the S3. It's been a while since I've tinkered with my phone because it runs so well, and I enjoy Toad's approach as it aligns well with how I think my phone should look and function. My ideal feature set is:
- Touchwiz JB based, because it's already optimized for the hardware. In my limited experience, ROMs based on the manufacturer source seem to have longer battery life, better stability, and a full feature set that already works. Things like:
- Stock camera (yes, with the silent mod)
- Sprint VVM
- Hotspot
- Customizable toggles.
-Minimal or no theming. Theming seems to be the quickest way to make the phone feel tacky and fragmented. I love the look of stock AOSP ICS and JB, the same way I enjoy a minimalist Gingerbread. Things like the AOSP dialer, SMS, lockscreen, keyboard, and icons seem to pull it together and make it look excellent.
- Blacked out or inverted apps like AOSP SMS, Gmail, Youtube, etc... looks cool, doesn't require any crazy theming, and saves some juice on that screen.
I was bummed to find out that the Foxhound ROM is only built for the international version, as I think it fits the bill of what I'd be looking for. Can anyone recommend a ROM based on these criteria? And yes, I know I don't have much to contribute as an end-user. I still think this community's a great place to hang out and get the most use out of these phones. Thanks guys.
I like blazer Rom

Can't go wrong with either freeza's fre3 or clark44's FreeGS3 ROM.
From what I have seen what you want does not exist. The closest is either run CM10.1 (pretty stable feels like a daily rom until you find a bug) or run one of the stock based roms with ICS theme but it doesnt feel very complete IMO.
I have been looking for the same thing you are. I even found the foxhound rom today but like you said its not on US versions.

Your coming from the OG epic... So why not try The Peoples Rom.. Several launcher choices (Aroma installer) overall can have it how you want it. There is also a full out Edition.. (The Fat Ass Cartmen edition By Naddict) Either i recommend.. Specially if your familiar with Kennyglass123's OG epic work. Same great taste, Less Filling! Best thing you can do, is cruise through the threads see if something gets your attention. And custimization on those roms above.. Visit Morphology Thread by Romnpit.
