Recommend me a ROM please!

I'm not picky here, I just want a stable ROM with 4G and the main stuff working. I just ask that for something with good battery life. I'm currently using Baked Snacks 1.9 and it drains crazy fast.
On a side note, hopefully the installation is easy. Are all the new ROM's requiring you to wipe the SD card, format, etc? What happened to just installing the zip?

I recommend CM7. Use the 7.0.1 stable version.

My only issue with CM7 is the voicemail not working. I know you can use Google Voice, but i've seen a lot of people not liking that either. Any idea about that?

The voice mail does work:
-on a sense rom, verify the app works
-backup the app and data with titanium backup
-flash back to CM7
-restore app and data with titanium backup
I use google voice, but I personally like that.

I'll give it a try then! Any ideas on kernel? Stick with stock or is there a recommended one for battery life?

Myns warm 2.2 rls 5 has it all and its stable. CM7 has given some problems. They can be worked out but be prepared.

For CM7, Timatt kernel...3.3.7 or 4.02 are the best. DO NOT USE 4.0.0, as it broke cameras left and right.

What's this google apps addon? Where do I get that?

I like
both of Virus ROMS.. the GengerSense and Revolution .. i have had good luck with both

Destroyer v2 rom or end of days
it's awsome with transitions battery life suks but wwith a custom kernel it's badass
and if u want great battery life flash a kernel for a aosp rom try tiamat's 4.0.2 sbc or savaged zen
for a sense based rom try netarchy oh and dude if u like ur rom but hate battery life u can just flash a kernel

It could be something other than the rom. Have you tried calibrating your battery? If you're in a crappy coverage area, flashing a new rom won't help (much). Also be sure to turn off your radios when not in use - 3g/4g, wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc. When I can, I use wifi. It saves a ton of battery over 3g/4g and it's always faster... at least for me.
But I'd still flash a new rom, just for fun

try the original destoryer rom( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988684&highlight=destroyer ) along with tiamats 3.3.8 or tiamats 3.3.8 with sbc depending if you like sbc or not ( http://www.tiamat-aosp.com/downloads.php/ ). i get about 14-20 hours of moderate to heavy use.

do cm7 for sure.
both of the destroyers are based on cm7, and both are sadly out of date. end of days is the newer version of destroyer, and is more in date, but still flash cm7 nightly.
i would wait until the next nightly comes out. that'll have fixed mms. or just flash stable 7.0.3.1.
either way tiamat 4.0.2 is the bomb.

agreed... cm7 nightlies with tiamat 4.0.2 is killer
flashing decks gingerbread as we speak...

Check out Koni's Elite series 3...... everything works and it is the fastest sense room available....... it is flawless and does not get enough credit.....everyone should check this out......i have tried all of them and this is by far the best.....imho

I use MikFroYo v4.6 it runs and feels like stock. I have never found a problem with his roms.

AOSP: SalvageMod, Deck's Gingerbread, CyanogenMod
Sense: Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, MikFroyo, AvaFroyo, Azrael, Fresh

End of Days ! (click on my siggy and get EOD v1)
it is based on recent cm7 (everything works)
and...
ive found a way to tweak the colors and make it look super smooth!!
but.....
for battery life you can get that with ANY rom. just need to do a little more homework on whats going on with your phones curent congifuration.

Virusrom Gingersense is awesome. Lockscreen and tabs in notification and sweet ass sweet. Long as you use stock kernal everything works. Oh and Virus gives props to the Cyanogen guys for the elements in his rom. Bunch of pretty stuff. Battery life is phenomenal also. Lost 3% idle overnight. I'm happy happy.

ROM - your setup 12/22

Updated Epic 4G Touch *January 11, 2012
First I just want to be clear and thankful to all the developers making these ROMS available to us FREE OF CHARGE. I personally like each and every one of them and I flash different ROM every few weeks for the sake of *change and adventure. Things do change quick around here from modems, kernels, roms and themes which all give us the unique ability to personalize to our liking. So, thank you devs!!!
Now, I'm curious in comparison (your milage may vary), but just for the heck of it without any offense, could we describe ROM's in categories? Maybe it'll help people discover something they didn't know existed...

FC modems run cooler...

I've noticed a lot of talk about speeds & which modem is fastest speeds seem to vary, however I have noticed that my phone runs much cooler with modems fc 15, & fc 27. These modems average about 31° - 39°C as oppose to stock el29 rom with similar usage streaming & brightness settings. It's definitely hotter & shorter batt. life on avg. about 40° - 47°C!
I'm using Blazer 4.0 I've tried fc 27, 21, & 15... as for speed 15 is best for me, but they all ran much cooler with multiple task active together!
Has anyone else notice this, or know any reason why?

I too have noticed that my phones doesn't get as hot during heavy use with the FC15 modem. It also provides the fastest speeds for me compared to the others. As for battery life EL13 was still the best. All FC modems drain my phone the same.

Is anybody running FC15 on a GB Rom?
I read on another post that some people had boot loops or other issues with FC15 Modem on a GB ROM.
Im running rooted stock EL29 Kernel ROM with FC14 Modem.
I would like to run FC15 but wanted to make sure someone else out there has a GB Rom with FC15 Modem..

[Q] Leaked ICS Roms

Was wondering how good are the leaked ICS Roms working... Bugs, FC, functions, apps, battery life??? And are they close to an offiical ICS release ???

I'm running Agat63's tFE16 with ACS repack. Only thing I miss is notification LED blinking for mms while charging. Not crying myself to sleep over it, though. I've actually found myself missing tinkering due to the stability of this setup.

Im on tfe16 without the acs repack and its great. The only fc issues I have are related to crappy apps not the rom. The lack of notification while charging as mentioned is present is all ics leaked roms and also the only thing that bugs me slightly

I'm still biased towards gingerbread but Venum ICE is awesome and has great battery. I barely flashed it yesterday but I'm mad I didn't flash it sooner

Are there any stable stock ICS or Jelly Bean Roms?

I bought a SGH-T989-D (telus version) and it came rooted with cyanogenmod installed. It was so fast and beautiful but it had many major bugs that made it unusable (call echo, battery life, caller id broken, random restarts). It's been about 4 months so I wanted to see what the most stable roms are.
I'm looking for a rom that is fast and close to stock ICS or maybe jellybean if that's out yet. I'm currently on touchwiz ics but it's not as smooth or snappy as the buggy rom the phone came with was.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is noobish.

This one is stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25363458
Its the stable version of CM 9
And my personal favorite AOKP 7/15 milestone 6

Only issue I have is speaker phone sounds choppy.
As for JB, there is good progress, but not a DD in my IMHO.

The one by BinaryBiship is pretty good. And there's nightly builds so at least you know they're actively updating.
Sent from my SUPERMAN-SGH-T989 using xda premium

this question gets asked quite a bit and my opinion on the matter(since you asked) is bugs don't seem to pop up for everyone. If the phone you had had issues maybe it was just that version of CM. If you like CM then I would suggest trying a nightly, RC2 or AOKP.
There are different developers that have kanged CM as well so try that. Since what is a bug for one person is not necessarily a bug for others its a trial and error. Anyone can post a link and say this or that is the best but only your real world experience can determine if its your dd= daily driver or not....
I have been running CM9 or AOKP since I got my phone and no issues at all...No radio issues No GPS issue No hot reboot issues... so far nada... Give them all a try thats my opinion

As said earlier, CM9 and AOKP are both great. My only issue with them is that they don't have wifi calling so be wary of that if you need that feature.

Just update to the latest cm9 nightly at get.cm for the Hercules. If you are already on cm9 then make a back up and then wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Then flash cm9 and gapps.

Love the latest by Darkside. Its not pure stock but the latest is speedy, GREAT battery, and solid enough to be my DD ROM ..
Stats in sig. Good luck!

CM9 has come a LONG way these past months and virtually every bug you posted has been fixed. CM9 RC2 has been running beautifully for me for nearly a week and a half now. I recently took the plunge with TDJ's latest Venom kernel and it's been running even smoother. AOSP ROMs may have been buggy in the past but now there really isn't any reason to go back to TW. Unless of course you need wifi calling... but our devs are currently working on that and there are alternatives that allow you to call from wifi (Talkatone, Vonage, GrooveIP). So really, in my opinion, there really is no reason to go back to carrier bloat.

You could always use odin to flash a stock ICS, then root and remove bloat. You'd have a completely stock ICS running stable. As long as you're rooted, you can always flash modifications down the road. If you want a little extra performance but want to still maintain stock as much as possible, you can just flash a modified kernel on top.
