It looks like cynagenmod 9 ics coming to our device too.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update
The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos
Also, if you scroll down and look at the comments:
"The kind folks over at RootzWiki gave us a unit to develop on, stay tuned (but don't hold your breath while you wait)"
after someone asked about Epic 4G Touch.

Cyanogen + ICS is all we need. Add ICS MiUi later too

Heck yeah. I know I did. The more choices the better IMO and having CyanogenMod only opens other doors.

God, I hope we get CM7 during the 7.2 update, I need to be rid of touchwiz already.

I have to agree. I am new to the E4GT but not to modding. I came from the USCC Mesmerize and it had CM7 and a pretty much fully functional ICS ROM. I was so used to AOSP that the thought of Touchwiz made me shiver. I do have to say that the Dev's for this phone have done some amazing things with Touchwiz though. Running Calkulins ROM and am truly amazed at how smooth it is. I would love to see an AOSP selection for this phone. If its anything like the Mesmerize then CM7 would be the logical choice to get working as it would provide the Dev's and solid MTD base to do ICS or CM9 off of. any way just my thoughts on the subject. I am very pleased with the Modding community for this phone. Looks like you all have some extremely talented Dev's. I look forward to what they release in the future.

agreed. sometimes i feel like using my evo again just so i can have cm7
Touchwiz is a launcher...it can be deleted, easily. I don't get the hate on touchwiz. I don't like it, so, I delete it and use another launcher. Its not like Sense.
I love cyanogen too, but, touchwiz has nothing to do with why.
...am I missing something?

+1........ TW4 is been pretty good in my opinion
Tw 4 has been fairly decent but can't wait for cm 7 and 9 to truly show what this phone is capable of.... it runs pretty fast with Tw when we get hardware acceleration in cm 9 ... wow

Lol TW4 is hardware accelerated as well. ICS just carriers the acceleration everywhere and deeper.

I personay feel that Touchwiz is OK. I just prefer a more pure Google experience. Now Touchwiz on the Galaxy S was horrible but this new Touchwiz seems pretty decent. But I welcome the chance to get an AOSP ROM on this thing and see what its truely capable of.

I don't understand the hate on TW either, it's just a launcher and I deleted it, I use ADW Ex so it never bothers me.

Twiz is more than just a launcher it is a complete is overlay. It changes some of the options in settings and among other things... I prefer also because I love how simple but intricate it is.

I wish this comes but I have serious doubts
Sounds like the CM9 team will get ICS on our E4T sooner than later
"The first devices that we’ll have ready will be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos."
Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to CM9. My last 3 phones had CM7 on them. Getting a little stale. At least running the nightly roms kept me interested. I got rid of my EVO at nightly 260ish. Damn that's a lot builds! I just flashed the ones people gave rave reviews of.

I'm not convinced that it's anything more than a launcher. Different things in the settings screens are a reflection of the rom so far as I understand it.
However I am open to being wrong if you have information to the contrary.

only problem with these theme's is that Nova and Apex is not colored. The Supernova one is nice but there are some issues with the colors here and there and again, Apex and Nova are not themed. Maybe he will do it. I asked if the guy could.. just wait and see.
I'm getting kinda fed up waiting for a theme to come out that I like so I think I might try and do one myself. Looks basically like hacking the apk's and redoing the gfx, which can't be that hard, just time consuming. Think I might do one like Elegance for AOKP which I liked but was a little incomplete imo.

I just downloaded and flashed this theme. Can you give me a heads up on what all is themed out so I know what differences to look for?

The nova and apex launchers come prethemed with this theme they r just not the newest version yet... also.. what issues aside from the keyboard long presses bother u?? There r no other known issues that have been reported..
Also theming is extremely time consuming and not quite as easy and simple as u describe .
If u r going to talk about color issues please be specific. When the time comes I will update launchers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sorry updating this post. Sorry if anyone was replying to it.
This is a great theme. If I said something that gotten taken badly. I apologize, whether I like or dislike the colors does not matter. This Supernova theme is actually the most complete theme I've tried so far. It's great work and great that you made it work for LiquidSmooth given most theme's are just AOKP.

The buttons that Apex is using are white. That's the problem, I think you know that right? If they were theme'd green it would be great. If you would like any assistance in this, I have Apex and Nova Prime. Be happy to experiment.
EDIT: Here is a better thread to visit for this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25846541
Feel free to discuss device specific here....
Figured I'd get a thread going so we don't clog up aero's, bracket's or protekk's threads. Theme engine is officially live on cm9 and now AOKP... cm7 themes are working to an extent. Wanted to get this going to share what themes you've tried and how compatible it is. Specify whether you are on aokp or cm9, as they use different launchers.
There are 3 paid cm9 themes in the market by dev sonny sekhon (as of 5/9)... I haven't tested these, but you can read the play store comments.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonny.theme.onyx
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonny.theme.vivid
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonny.theme.lucid
Here's an xda thread I found with some compatible themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1641984
Confirmed that androidian and the purple holo theme work on cm9, so appropriate credit to the OP of the linked thread and most importantly the theme creators.
I've also confirmed that an old favorite of mine, simpleBLU is working OK, although there is overlap between 3g icon/arrows and dbm signal strength... this seems to be the biggest issue with GB themes as I'm trying them, being that ics combines those icons...

I tried his ROM a couple weeks ago. It wouldn't even boot. It was the updated one in the toro section on goo.im. the only time I don't have a ROM boot is when there's something wrong with it.

I just can't seem to stay on PA, the pie feature is cool but doesn't seem to work right all the time
Sent from my toro+ via Tapatalk
Yeah everyone says PA.. Honestly I think the orca ROM can do what PA does then more.. I been running it since the update and my old prob is the ram usage...
Edit: also has anyone else tried that awesome auto hide navbar? I like it more then pie.. IMO its more responsive.. And pie just took to long open its nice eye candy though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just loaded this on.
I have to say I like a lot of the features like auto hide navbar, custom colors in messaging, phablet mode, etc.
I tried PA for the PIE mode, but wasn't impressed enough to keep it loaded.
I'll let it bake for a few days and see if I still like it at the end of the weekend.

Care substantiate such a claim which has likely deterred a bunch of people from trying this rom?
Out of all the 4.2.2 roms out right now, Orca Project in my opinion is at the top right now. I've had no problems with it, not one crash, and it's very efficient with great battery life, especially given how many customizations it's loaded with. Best of all I never had to get off my pink unicorn at TWRP riding into Orca Project.
I'm running it and I have been for a while I just tried switching to jellybro but I missed this ROM I flashed back within minutes lol. But I still wanna know what he's talking about...
Edit: actually I just realized this ROM looks a lot like carbonrom

Well, he is known for taking other people's work and crediting as his own(supposedly). I know he has done some good work specially in the nexus s/ ics days but he did have some problems on here.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Taking somebody's work without giving credit is just morally wrong, but doesn't mean its a good clean ROM. I was thinking like he was virus, credit card logging shady.

Back in the DX days he was known to take other devs work and label it as his own. That being said orca runs nice but is riddled with scripts that dont work, are incomplete, conflicting, and proven tweaks to have no effect. I also dont like the idea of him trying to disable v-sync. Although I do like the name
Okay so I see a few CM roms Ive flashed them before but never really kept them. Getting bored of samsung I guess and hoping this will let me want to keep the Note 2, I love EVERYTHING about it except the software. So Which one is the most reliabile and stock that runs quick or as good as a stock touchwiz rom?
Try them and find what you like best. What I like may be different than what someone else likes. I don't like paranoid on this phone, others love it. Its what YOU want.

I`m just looking for speed,battery and reliability , I was between that and pac-man`s but I dont want much extras
I don't like it cus it's made for a nexus so it has the on screen menu button in places, it's just not my thing. I like root box, and right now I'm on jedi cm. The batter is really good. I got about 5 hours screen on time today and that's with ingress running for over an hour. That uses lots of battery and gps is on the whole time playing.

Go to the original development section and look at the jedi cm rom. It's what your looking for. It's pretty much stock cm with a few nice tweaks. Not as much customization as say liquid or carbon or the others. Pac man and root box and paranoid all have lots of extras I never use.

But as other pointed out, you will just have test and run, as it seems you have....bottom-line it is all on you, with to many different variables involved from user to user....you have to just test the waters of Stockish ROMs for yourself.
