I used to have an evo 4g . it was my only successfull root and i used this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412005
it was GREAT!
does anyone have something similar for my epic 4g touch? all i want is a mostly stock barebones rom minus bloatware. i am certainly no expert on roms and want one i can rely on just to work! i dont use wireless hotspot but i need everything else to work.
help!
Thanx
For TouchWiz there is Calkulins E4GT 2 which comes with a barebones converter that you can flash.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041
That includes the ROM and the barebones converter.
Otherwise there are the usual AOSP ROMs, AOKP, CM9, Miui.
you can make any rom barebone if you like. Like mentioned above there is a converter zip now and also you simply can remove files in the zip prior to flashing. For AOSP there is a slim and trim rom in development. I think you should just take your time and go through development and see whats out there.
Ive always had better luck flashing something close to stock and pulling stuff out myself. Chances are that you use your phone different than the rom dev and you might want or need something they don't. There are several variations of fe22 you can try

apoligize for whats probably a dumb question but can i remove everything, like google wallet and crap like that?
Cauklin's e4gt 2 v 1.6 works really well and after using rom convertor is stripped down to a bare rom very stable at least that has been my experience with it.

Hey Guys,
I have been using cyanogenMod 10 Jb but i kinda feel like i need to change to another better ROM(dont care if JB or ics but NOT GB)... i want a ROM that is stable, Very Fast (i cant live with a lag) and nice... any recomendations ?
Please do not clutter the forums with threads like this.
All of the ROMs are special in it's own way. Try the ones available and stay on the ROM that suits you the best.

I have installed Googl Play Edition 4.3 on my S4.
As a result, I have lost all of those cool Samsung features that rely on built in sensors
Is tgere any way to get those sensors working with Google play edition?
I mean things like turning pages by hand in the air above the phone, and scrolling ul and down by tilting the phone.
Thanks.
Is tbere a way to go back to Samsung stock rom? I did not back it up.

No TW features on 4.3. I think there was a minimal amount things on 4.2.2, but nothing really like the actual TW experience. If you want to go back stock, you have two choices: either Odin back to 100% stock and re-root... which is the boring way. OR you can d/l a modified/stock ROM and flash that with whatever custom recovery you have. Check the development sections; there are quite a few stock choices, and which one to pick just depends on whether you want it themed, bone stock looking, etc.
Thanks so much.
Do you have any recomedarions on modified stock Rom?
I am mostly concerned about a good battery life and speed of the device and getting back TW features.
By tbe way, do all midified stock Roms have TW features in them?
What are yiur recomedarions based on what I am looking for?
Thanks a lot

All modified stock ROMs have the TW features.
I've personally been using BobcatROM from the i9505 development section, but from what I could tell, the only differences between the modified stock are themes and small differences here and there. Just check a few out, if some of the tweaks or changes interest you, try it out.

Could you please point me to the right section to get modified original roms?
Is it in T-Mobile S4 Android Development section or t the T-Mobile S4 Android Original Android Development section?
I am not sure whether the original implies modified original rom section?
Would you also please include a link to where I can find your bobcat rom?
Thank you so much!

I gotta let you do SOME of the legwork But seriously, the mod/stock ROMs will be in Android Development and you can find kernels in the Original Development section. Considering you flash a T-Mobile kernel directly after flashing a ROM, you can use ROMs from any S4 development section including the "original development" section; be it AT&T, Sprint, etc. The only restriction is make sure not to flash a ROM from the i9500 section. The 9500 (Exynos octa-core) and 9505 (Snapdragon like the m919 and others) is the "international version" and share a forum; just different subsections dedicated to each one individually. The i9505 section is safe, which is where Bobcat is located. It's pounded into the ground, but it's worth mentioning again; if you rely on WiFi calling, you will want a T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM. If you're like me though and care nothing about WiFi calling then there's no reason to stick with only the T-Mobile ROMs unless you just prefer them.

ROMs do come with kernels, and that's why if you flash an S4 ROM from outside the T-Mobile section you need to flash a T-Mobile kernel. The T-Mobile ROMs obviously already have T-Mobile kernels. If you flash a ROM from the AT&T section, your device will be using an AT&T kernel and will not boot. But if you flash the AT&T ROM and flash a T-Mobile kernel directly afterwards, your device will then have the T-Mobile kernel and will run that AT&T ROM just like it was built for your device. The only way to retain your TouchWiz features is to use any ROM based on stock. If you want AOKP, CM, AOSP, etc you will lose all of the TW features. I think WatchON works on some (most?) non-TW ROMs now; but as far as things like Air Move, Smart Pause/Stay, the TouchWiz camera, and the other gimmicky features... they don't work outside of TouchWiz. Read up. Go to the dev sections and read, at the very least, the first post for the ROMs. That first post will almost always give you an idea of what features the ROM includes, screenshots of what it looks like, what's not working that is supposed to, and if it's TouchWiz based or CM/AOSP based.
And throw lordcheeto a thanks or two lets him know you appreciate his leg work and explanation.
Thanks so much for all this info!
Really appreciate it.
I've been wondering....
1. Is there any really close 4.2.2 or 4.3 TouchWiz rom's yet that have S-Apps on it yet?
2. If not what is the best, or closest TouchWiz-esque 4.2.2 or 4.3 rom?
I just just feel like all CM, AOK/SP roms feel naked Without TouchWiz or S-Apps, yes I know there's some alternative S-Apps for CM, AoK/SP roms.
3. Has anyone thought of trying to incorporate ChameleonOS With TouchWiz like the MyMiUi?
4. And there really still is no sign or mention of a Official Sammy 4.2.2 or 4.3 for us yet is there?
I wanna upgrade to 4.2.2 or 4.3, but I don't wanna TouchWiz and keep looking at my rom/phone feeling like something is lacking or missing from it.
For a touchwiz Rom I like cleanrom 5. If you want an aosp Rom go with slimroms or beanstalk
