Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.

I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

Xda only has upto alpha 6 posted. But there are nightlies out there which are almost ready to be stable. I believe chris41g is himself working on that.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.
Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

Also the most stable ROM is going to be the stock ota updates of course all of these Roms are in development obviously so as each one says on their page there is some issues with every single one.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

All ics roms for vivow have some issues. The question is do you want sense or aosp?
UKB is probably the best sense rom out right now. Sense 4, android 4.0.3. Smooth, fast, excellent battery. Camera fcs a lot for some.
For aosp, you have Kangdemnation or an older version of PA. PA is moving on to JB, but I think version 1.9.5 is ics.
Most of the problems are camera related, but many have been fixed. BT is another area of concern/ongoing development. Sound issues, too.
Search through the threads for these issues before you ask a question. Most of these threads are quite large.

If you don't feel the need for Ice Cream Sandwich, I use Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable for my "old reliable" It's much faster than stock, better battery life, and everything works 100% for me. Just my 2 cents.
I'm pretty much a rookie myself, and wanted the most stable ics rom I could get. The UKB looked great, but I decided to try tazz's ic rom first. It sounds like it should be stable too. I just flashed it earlier today, so haven't had much time with it yet, but so far it looks great. It sucks as much as everyone in that thread promised.
In my experience, Tazz's ROM is probably the number one out there right now. Granted, you're stuck with Sense but there are some devs out there stripping Sense away from this ROM and another one. Everything works out of the box (including camera which is huge for me), but like I mentioned, you're stuck with Sense and I've personally moved to Paranoid Android 1.5a which has CM9 as a base. Works pretty great, although my ffc pictures often show up corrupt/glitchy/garbled. Now to make more posts so I can have the privilege of commenting about this bug...

If u r on cdma then use UKB X, if on gsm use IC Tazz. Both the roms are very gud. I faced bootloop in gsm with UKB X and V.
otherwise ukb is better.
So I guess this shows my noobness, I'm wanting to root my wife's incredible 2 and not sure if she has cdma or gsm. How do I know/find out?
What's your carrier
Is it Verizon? If it is then its cdma.

LOL yeah, that was an entertaining and informative thread!
I just stuck to the Aeroevan's CM9 07/12 build with v12 kernel (pretty outdated, but I don't use the phone anymore) and gave it to my mother. So far, she's loving it to the point where she's completely oblivious to the world when she's using an app.
I woild definitely recommend Aero's CM9 build if you want a speedy rom with mostly everything working (720p recording doesn't work sadly)
But if you want an extremely stable ROM, then go for Tazz/Mac's IC Tazz ROM and have fun with the suckiness of the ROM. XD
I woukd also recommend Nit's UKB just because it's a treat and its packed with lots of Sense 4.0 goodies.

Hello,
I am using T989D Telus Version. Though I am not using it on Telus and using it on Rogers tower. Currently on CM10 experimental, which is not that stable. Any one else have luck with using this version on Jelly Bean . I am currently suffering SOD a lot. So can you please let me know which version is very stable ?
Tried aokp? You can try changing governors to help your sod issue. Refer to the aokp thread

Honestly, it's a hit or miss, mine is completely stable..so are some others. While others aren't. Don't know what the difference is but I'm starting to think that the devices are different in the inside. Maybe different manufacturers on certain parts? Who knows. So just try it out. The rr and sod is clearly present, so if that happens try another Rom

Try AOKP JB by TheLastSidekick Oct. 9 build. It is super stable for me. No bugs, SODs, RRs, etc. You could also try Dougshells AOKP ROM because AOKP by TLS is based off of it so it should be as stable as it.

To avoid/minimize SOD's and RR's, don't forget to set governor to interactive and scheduler to deadline.
I've had the S2X since it came out. I'm running Dougshell's 10/10 build and haven't experienced a single SOD or RR. This is the first AOKP jb build I've used that doesn't have those issues. Solid daily driver.

Did you use TWRP as your recovery? if so, how did you load it on your phone? Ive tried doing it from GooManager but it wont work.
Also, should i go with the Stable AOKP ROM or is the nightly a better choice? the last stable was all the way back in July.

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just wondering, can you define 'heavy'? I personally use my phone at school all the time, I listen to music through headphones about 1/2 of my total day(4 hours or so) and I will also spend a lot of time texting, browsing the web, and using apps that use data. I'm honestly constantly on my phone, and will have to charge it around 3 times per day.

Right now I'm on miui trying it out for the first time getting used to no app drawer. Favorite ROM for a daily (if I had one lols) would have to be Living Rejects. I flash it at least twice a week. Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^

no offense, but it takes about 30 seconds to flash a kernel. Why don't you try a few and see which one works the best for you? Everyone's experience is going to be slightly different.
I flashed two different kernels before picking one, and after that I added some init.d scripts afterward that improved battery life over the stock kernel settings.

I would rather have stability than bleeding-edge any day! Contrary to my claim for the need of stability, I am going to give MIUI a shot. I tried it out when I had my G2x but there were some bugs that made that rom unusable as a dd for me. Hopefully my experience with MIUI will be much more pleasant with the S2!!
I'll flash the kernel later and see what happens. Even though I'll be giving MIUI a test run.... I always end up going back to Cyanogenmod. Always!

I get bootloops and/or camera crashes with the latest JB MIUI and horrible call quality on my end with the last ICS based MIUI. It's odd that the call quality is fixed with the JB MIUI and busted in ICS, should be the other way around lol.
