Found the SGSII for .96 cents for an upgrade, what should I do to it? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Found the Samsung Epic 4g Touch for .96 cents at Sam's Club and I am going to pick it up tomorrow. I know I don't want the stock Sprint crap and I want Wimax tethering. What do you think will be the best rom to do this with? I understand I will be getting opinions only.

Welcome. There is no best ROM, its a matter of personal preference. You're going to get flamed and this thread will probably get locked. Better luck next time... spend time reading before flashing, it is possible to brick

I have been reading and this is for opinions only, I know every rom is different that is why I asked for opinions to figure which fits me better. This was the first phone forum that actually had a q&a area so I thought that was what it was for. My bad if I screwed up.

You should just buy my device for 170$

You should try out some roms and see. This thread will be locked by papa smurf though. We have had a ton of these posts lately good luck

I guess I have always been on legacy device forum or something because I have never heard of a Nazi Mod who has a problem with people asking questions in a Q&A forum. I do appreciate the people who have answered and I do find this hilarious.

Papa can speak for himself but they're not a "Nazi Mod".
Your question is one of your taste and your taste only. Go read the OPs of the Rom's and decide for yourself.
All you're asking for is fans of this rom, that rom, this build, that build to weigh in. So, what's the point?

Instead of asking everyone to do the work for you, read through the numerous posts on the different roms available and decide for yourself.

Shame on you for assuming everyone doesn't read first, I have been perusing the Epic 4g touch for the last 2 weeks but I still like other users opinions. I mean the internet is for acquiring knowledge and learning in different ways, no it wasn't made for porn and cat pictures. When I buy something off the internet I read all the reviews by individuals I can to make sure the item is OK, these reviews are their opinions, and I ask for opinions as well. I mean seriously I know every single one of you guys probably do the same thing. No one buys blindly so yes I will always ask for other people opinions. It is the only way I found out using CM7.2 on my current LG Optimus S is what I was looking for. If you all want to be rude and not answer that is your choice but I will always ask.

I only said Nazi mod because of the way you guys were talking about him, I personally don't know him yet. I want people to weigh in on what they like about a rom, yes, so I can decide if that feature is something that would work for me. I am sorry to say that a person who created a rom is going to say everything they can to praise their rom, I know i would, so I don't go buy it alone. Especially if it will be my daily driver, i would rather not have to try a rom out everyday. Yes, I read what other people say as well but the only people who usually talk in a rom thread are the people who like it, not everyone will say what they don't like about it.

never flame people, you were a noob once

I think what most were thinking is that there are plenty of threads with people asking the same question in this forum... They just wanted you to look instead of opening a new thread. I wouldn't flame someone because depending on what you are using to view xda, sometimes you don't have all the options you do when on the internet and end up posting in wrong places... In your case, you asked a question i have seen in the last couple of weeks at least four times. Do get discouraged just check prior threads for this phone first.

I would recommend trying out a whole bunch of different ones, there are plenty of stable ROMs out there man, its all about what fits you best, I couldn't tell you has many I flashed before I found the one I currently rock. Good luck and welcome to the SgSII world!

Oh and just saying, the "When people like you STOP asking" makes no sense. You have nothing better to do than be a jerk on a forum? People asking about a root does nothing to slow the process. Dillweed.

I agree completely. And I think that people should be informed of the way things are ran around here. I just don't like people who feel the need to be downright obnoxious to people for making a mistake. The damage is done by that point, answer the question, and inform them that they should search from now on. It disgusts me that people get so high and mighty on forums.
Regardless of what question is asked.. Most likely the person asking didn't come in here to ruin someones day or make a similar question to someone else. They simply came here to ask a question or get some advice.. To actually take the time to post some idiotic insult is beyond moronic and basically just says you have nothing better to do with your time than troll forums and bash people for what you "obviously" already know.. This equates to one possible solution for everyone involved.. GET A LIFE!!!
To answer what someone else asked.
I dont think it is possible to do anything with a phone that has a OTA update if Gingerbread on it. I remember reading that it is not possible to undo that update. you simply must wait for the Root to come out, which should be soon.
These Devs are some of the smartest people on the planet, and should be working for HTC et al. They are most likely waiting for some code to be released, just like I am waiting for some coding to be released to I can get a new Kernel for my Synergy ROM.

There is still hope

For those of you still waiting for your D Inc 2 there is still hope for 2.2.1. The first one I received was 2.3 but Verizon just sent me another and it was indeed 2.2.1. So everyone reading these dreaded posts of no root just know there is still hope.
wait, what?
so, for Dinc2's that ship with 2.3, they won't be able to have root (for now)?
ah! Verizon shipped me a Dinc2 without a battery and I have to wait until Wednesday to turn on my phone. I will be very unhappy if mine doesn't come with 2.2.1
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you really need to stop starting these pointless threads. There is already a thread about the discussion of what Dinc2's are currently shipping with, which is precisely where this post should be. Also, you post asking about Sense 3.0 ROMs is unnecessary as well. You only need to go into the Development section and look at the first page of threads to see what ROMs we have. Please use the search function. Thanks.

Wow. Ok since you want to get an attitude, let's do this...
First of all, reading > you. I said NOTHING about a thread. I'm talking about just going into the Development section and LOOKING. CM7 is right there. If there were a Sense 3.0 ROM, I guarantee it would be on the first page of threads too.
Next, this thread was pointless since all you had to do was a quick search to find a recovery package.
Next, you started this, this, and this could all have been posted in the same thread. But instead you felt it necessary to start all new threads and con-volute the forums.
And, on top of all of that, when I come in here and NICELY ask you to stop posting unnecessary threads, you get an attitude. So, according to my count, with this thread, Sense 3.0, recovery question, and the 3 rooting threads, 5 of your 7 threads in here are complete garbage. I would love to see how you defend yourself on starting all those threads.

Well the Sense 3.0 ROM was on the 3rd page I believe. Wrong on you. Those 3 threads were called I was in discussion with a couple devs from other communities and spread the ideas which were all at different times. And the recovery question had nothing to do with wanting a recovery image. I just asked if Alpharev flashes one for you. Maybe you should read before you start sifting through the forums showing you have no life. This argument is done. Try putting your little mind power to something else besides sitting on my nuts.
Much love.

Be best to just leave it alone, doncha think?
One of the excuses for closing it down was due to it not being for a particular dev but just in general. I agree there was some minor bickering going on but the main reason for that thread should have prevailed over the few arguments that took place.
There was obviously a lot of interest based on the amount of money that was raised and it is unfortunate that doesn't matter here.
I guess if someone wanted to start another bounty thread up and say it is for team Viper to deliver ICS to the E4GT then that would abide to the XDA rules...

I don't know what the continued disagreement is about...
It's been shown before that bounty threads don't work.
It would be more effective to get everyone's money together and buy a phone outright for developers like Rootzwiki does.
Most developers don't do this for any sort of monetary gain, providing different models allows development across even more phones.

The only problem with people purchasing a phone for a dev is at that point they feel like the dev will owe them something and would expect them to put in all the hours until they get whatever it is the people want working.
If the dev decided he didn't want to put the time in to get the work done, I think the people who purchased the phone would get pretty annoyed and would have a pretty valid argument I think.
At this point, who would you buy a phone for that can honestly say I can produce ICS for the ET4G? If someone can actually make that claim, I think people would do it but I do not know who that person would be.
I believe the CM team already has the phone so I would guess they are working on CM9 for us. At least that is what I think I heard, someone correct me if I am wrong.

There isn't a perfect method for anything.
However, the purchasing of phones for developers just seems like a better strategy.
I've read multiple tweets by several different developers that show they're more interested in that than bounties or small donations.
I think it would be better for the community if XDA embraced this idea and allowed people to donate to a fund that would essentially buy phones for devs.

Yeah things have definitely gotten out of hand. Looks like Viper's ICS thread in the general section is headed the same way with things so much off topic lately. People can't let anything go. When they argue once, they just got to keep dragging it on for some reason.
It was a stupid concept overall. That's why it's gone.

i couldnt agree more my man. in the evo days which was not that long ago for me this arguing and *****ing just was not at the level it in here. im not sure why people see the need to **** on everything they see and then pick out some one whom to have a lengthy argument with on the thread. they should just pm each other and have all these ***** fests with them selfs so we wont have too see it all and have it over all through out a entire thread take up several pages worth. its no wonder when people new to xda come in here and dont read the thread and ask repeat questions all the time. i bet if people just stuck to asking legit questions and raising legit concerns that the threads would be 50% or more smaller and be packed just full of use full information that would cause a lot of news to spend the time reading without wading through **** soup trying to find a answer for there problems. im glad Jerdog goes through threads and cleans up a ton of crappy posts to make the ones of importance easier to get to. xda needs to come up with a anti crappy post software to detect bull **** and stop the person from being able to post out there but hole. lol ok i feel better now

[Q] How to become a moderator

So how does one become a moderator? The reason I ask is that I am SO sick of reading the same stupid questions over and over and over (as are majority of the members here). This phone has a few talented DEVs, but as a whole the community for the E4GT is terrible. No one reads, no one searches, and frankly, some of the questions that people ask on here shows that they shouldn't even own a SMARTPHONE!
I remember how it used to be back in the day, as do some of you. If you weren't a DEV and were just here to use what was provided, you kept your damn mouth shut. The only time you spoke up is if you searched far and wide and exhausted all your other resources...then you asked your question and hoped the real DEVs on here would give you the time of day...and that was great! You actually had to LEARN something...
These days, and for some reason this phones community is the worst, the "I want it now" pigs overrun every freaking thread on the forum. It even makes searching impossible because your "results" just pop up the same stupid question being asked over and over.
Anyways, I could go on forever, but I only want to know one thing...how can I become a moderator and help clean some of this up so it is better moving forward?
Rule of thumb with any forum: if you have ask to become a mod, you're not going to be one. I'm relatively new here, and to flashing phones in general as the epic 4g ttouch is my first smartphone. So when you mention how any who isn't some sort of Dev should keep their mouth shut I can't help but take it personally. If you really did want to become a mod this wasn't a way to do it. Believe me I'm not trying to overstep boundaries, I know my place. But you're only coming off angry.
Can't be a mod? You can always do what the guy in the image is doing...although you'd drive the mods crazy.

No one reads, no one searches, and frankly, some of the questions that people ask on here shows that they shouldn't even own a SMARTPHONE!
I remember how it used to be back in the day, as do some of you. If you weren't a DEV and were just here to use what was provided, you kept your damn mouth shut. The only time you spoke up is if you searched far and wide and exhausted all your other resources...then you asked your question and hoped the real DEVs on here would give you the time of day...and that was great! You actually had to LEARN something...
These days, and for some reason this phones community is the worst, the "I want it now" pigs overrun every freaking thread on the forum. It even makes searching impossible because your "results" just pop up the same stupid question being asked over and over.
Anyways, I could go on forever, but I only want to know one thing...how can I become a moderator and help clean some of this up so it is better moving forward?

LOL:
Is this a joke, or:
Are you for real?
After reading this, I hope beyond all hope, that YOU never become a moderator on XDA.
Good lord, you already sound like some ficticious example of a power-hungry mod that abuses his power...
I can only (barely) imagine what you'd be like if they ever gave you any real power around here...
Let me guess: Jackboots?

I hope the people replying here aren't the ones I'm referring to in my Ambien induced rant above. It was just meant to point out that there are a growing (and outnumbering) group of people that won't take the time to learn and be PROACTIVE about things that could break their phone. They are the ones that are REACTIVE and expect the world. Case in point: we STILL have people flashing the international 9100 ICS ROMS...STILL! I'm not saying we all need to get this elitist chip on our shoulders, but it takes everyone to clean this crap up. For the longest time I never knew why some people flamed the crap out of other members for asking questions....now I know.
I hope the people reading this that can read between the lines and see what I'm trying to do appreciate it. I also hope that those who take offense look in mirror...
If you can't point out flaws without trying to help fix, then please don't comment at all.

Actually I agree with you. People search and search less and made no attempt to understand at least the basic informations before rooting or customizing their phones. I spent a solid 12 hours googling and searching before deciding to root my phone.
But you are obviously not going to win this one. Forget asking people to search the forum before asking question. There is a two page thread on Epic 4g Touch General area about disabling update notification and people don't even bother to read the OP thoroughly before asking the question. They wonder why what they did did not work when it is clearly explained in the OP.
I kinda see what you mean, but I use the search more since they removed the Captcha....I really hated that. I think we should let people know about it...because that was the reason why I didn't use the search in the first place.
Oh...and also the search time limit

You have to be understanding here .... Some people on here have been here since the hero and know how it was back then , but alot are totally new to smart phones and basically ignorant to how a tech forum like this is... They don't know to search and such ...they found this by google and have no clue how to go about getting help so they post in the wrong forums and such..this in turn causes existing members to be frustrated and not help like they should...in fact there should be more to do to become a member here and get posting privileges ...

Best Available ROM for S3 ?

Which is the best available ROM for Sprint Samsung S3.
I have tried MIUI, found it ok. But didnt like the Apple style Home page. Any other ROM. Tried Viper, but I am not a big fan of Blue.
Please help.
Cmon now there's like 1000 of these posts that have been locked, and like Kenny says every rom is the best each one responds differently on every phone. so go to the development section and start trying them out.

ComeOn, there will be some feedback from users who used the ROM. I am expecting that only.
There is plenty of feedback on the roms thread stop being lazy

ibtl.... honestly these which is the best rom that's are pointless. What works for me may not work for you. Best way to find out is flash until YOU find one YOU like.

An idea: Why not have one thread (it can be a sticky on top) that allows for people to post their experiences with ROMs. That way, people can read up on pros and cons in that thread. We could even look to have a poll for people to vote. I think there should be a good summary section of all these ROMs so people can narrow their options down a little.
The People's ROM has been my daily so far, BTW.

Actually thats the rom thread already. A rom i run on my phone might not run the same way on your phone, so feedback on pros and cons of a rom depends on the user phone. Its not hard looking through a changelog and comments/feedback to pick out a rom of choice.

Cruise threads. Find a rom, read what people have said (last few post typically) flash and try for yourself. These threads pop up and get taken down almost daily. Please spend a bit of time trying them out and reading a bit on them. You will find a good fit.
The Peoples rom (either one) and freegs3 are great. And morphology (in themes) allpws you to make it yours.

You just have to try them out, theres no "rom selection guide for harismahesh" out there, because no one but YOU can be the ultimate judge in whether a rom is the best fit for your needs or for your particular usage.

The liquidsmooth ROMs are pretty good
Do you like AOSP? Do you like stock? Do you like themed ROMs? Are you looking for something stable? What's your definition of stable?
Everyone is different. You have to explore and find what fits you. We are all unique.

I have had lots of luck with Phantom Hacker's roms. As others have noted though, lots of great developers here. Everything is personal preference

Honestly it depends on what you're looking for if you're looking for a true Android experience or if you like the TouchWiz experience or any other launcher for that matter.
Personally I like wicked sensations which is a TouchWiz rom and everything seems to work good on it including wifi tether in TouchWiz which is a rare thing to find. I will warn you that wicked sensations is way overly themed so if you want something a little more stock you may want to try blazer ROM the only catch is that wifi tethering is not working.
If you're looking for something that isn't TouchWiz you may want to try Cyanogen mod I know it's kind of mainstream and all but it works and it's generally what I look for it's more of a pure Android experience and everything works including wifi tethering USB tethering.
With that being said I would recommend trying a bunch of different ones make sure you're comfortable with flashing your phone before doing this. Every ROM has its flaws and benefits just make sure your verifying that it's for your phone before flashing.

LEGENDARY was a great rom! Now that was over a year ago, a different device and Gingerbread. This and the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry post are the reasons that this question while at the moment you thought about it it sounded right but it's really useless. Every one who advised you to go to the Development threads and read and try them out is right.
By the way I like 'Rocky Road'

All the best available ROMs are in the Development and Original Development sections. Check the front page of each section
