[Q] Homegrown Roms/Kernels - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

What developers actually on E4GT's and develop roms and kernels for them? I've been using cyanogenmod and aokp, but I'm pretty sure E4GT is not a main platform it's just nice of them to make the roms for us. Who actually owns a E4GT and genuinely invests and works on the roms and kernels? From what I'm gathering Agat and Rujelus22 do... I only started looking today so sorry if I don't know who's who.
I'm trying to find out who tweaks the stock kernels and roms because I want a little more liberty with my phone without too much instability. I really like how AOKP looks and it was fairly stable, but some guy at my work told me I'm probably better off with a developer that uses my phone.

I'm not sure what you mean by keyboard combo. The guy at work was saying there's asop based roms/kernels and touchwiz based roms/kernels... he was sayong TW based tends to be more stable since it's specific to the phone. If he's wrong I'm all ears.

you know that's what im thinking... but its like when exactly will we get this port. i think devs arnt gonna actively talk about how far they have progressed in the port. because they dont want to get raped about eta's and stuff.
Hopefully before new year
Keep hope alive
thats all we can do as of yet....

their actually the guys that im expecting to see major things from. dont get me wrong in very thankful of their already made works but i think their about to blow us away VERY soon.
Dev section quiet? How many roms do you really need? All we are missing at the moment is aosp like cm7/cm9. I came from evo 4g which has roms out the butt and really you only needed a recent sense version and cm7. Every other rom was just clutter and clones.
We just need a TW rom, cm7 aosp rom, and in the somewhat near future cm9. Everything else would just be a clone of some sort or themed. I'm just fine with Juggernaut until aosp comes out honestly. It does exactly what I need it for
I see where you're coming from, for me though with these devs it's kind of like music or art, we don't really need 46 varieties, necessarily, but it's cool to appreciate all the creative stuff people come up with...plus, I think variety & competitveness, to some degree, speeds the progress of evolution in terms of the software sophistication etc.

Rom creating and what not

Hi, i've been reading up on some post and videos around here, gathering info on how to create my own custom rom. Im 17, i know some of you might not take me seriously, but i need help. What do some of you Devs use to create the roms? any tips or suggestions?
Anything is appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm definitely not a dev, but what kind of ROMs do you want to make?
Do you just want a modified/themed stock ROM or do you want to learn how to build from source?

well right now im wanting to do a modified/themed stock rom, but i do want to learn how to build from source.
Idk what I can say about making themed stock ROMs other than check out dsixda kitchen and uot kitchen. In my opinion I don't like themed stock ROMs. They are all pretty much the same with a different theme and the devs keep releasing full ROMs calling them something new but in reality it's just a new theme.
On the other hand for building a ROM from source, do some research on source.android.com and wiki.cyanogenmod.com
You can also join everyone on irc.freenode.net channels #ics-dev-e4gt and #jb-dev-e4gt and just see what the devs are working on, most are willing to help out and give advice, even for noobs like me.
Release themes! Not full stock ROMs!

I know we're derailing this topic, but in my opinion we don't need all these themed ROMs. Just wrap it all up in 1 zip, flash it over the stock ROM it was built for, and voila... you have a themed/modified stock ROM.
Back to the topic, if you want to learn about ROM development you can learn a lot from what I posted earlier and just browsing XDA.

Opinions On Best Rom (Battery/Performance)

Hey everyone, I will be getting this phone (T989D Koodo) in the next few days and have a question.
I am coming from the LG Optimus One, a lower end smart phone. This will be my first 'major/higher end' phone.
I mainly use my phone for the essentials; texting, talking (and Camera now that I have a good one lol), and a bit of social media.
I don't play games on my phone. My phone will come with 4.0.4. I prefer stable roms with basically everything working.
What roms/kernels would everyone suggest for me? Focusing on battery life, but not decreasing performance to laggy.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: Thought I posted this in a different area(general). Mods please move to appropriate area.

I'd try the Plain Jane ICS ROM for stability and speed. It's beautiful and minimal with performance tweaks. I personally use the MIUI ICS ROM. A lot of people are having sound quality issues in phone calls, but I have none of these issues. I have yet to jump to JB.
Good luck

Honestly, I'd recommend CM9 if you want solid performance and everything working properly while keeping solid battery life. It doesn't have a few of the bells and whistles that Touchwiz ROM's have, but the performance and stability are amazing.
However, if you'd prefer using a TW ROM, try out any of the 4.0 ROM's. 4.1 is neat, but still has problems no matter which one you go with. As for which one of those ROM's... I can't really say that any of them truly shines above another, so the best thing you can do is look for a highly rated/used one and try that out. Worst case scenario, you end up trying a different one instead.

First off, I'm not saying one devs work is better than the other. They all work dang hard for sure.
As far as ur preferences, mine are exactly identical and from personal taste I like jovy's darthstalker. Battery is great, its very stable and very smooth. With the same uses I average about 16 hours before needing a charge. I haven't had a chance to flash version 4 and play with it yet as I'm still enjoying version 3. Other than that, you can always flash all the roms and pick one that suits ur needs...cuz that's what I did. Good luck bud.

Who would like to see AOSP rom's developed?

I know for most the loss of s-pen defeats the purpose of the N2. But the 5.5 RGB, quadcore, would be great for something like CM10 just stock google 4.1.2 . Anyone else agree? Think it would ever happen?

Nope, cause if you're like me, you might care more about the larger screen than the S-Pen. I hardly use it at all, and I'm dying to have the option of using CM10. I really hope it'll happen!! There's a HUGE difference between the stock Samsung rom and AOSP, much more noticeable smoothness. Plus it just looks better imo; I can't stand Samsung's color scheme and design, it's quickly becoming a relic to me..

One of the nice things about rooting, is that you don't have to keep touchwiz.
Here's a nice tutorial I used to really make my device different while keeping the pen functionality.
Youtube Tutorial
I mean, I understand the idea behind AOSP, but a simple theme can be had without switching too much.
I'm guessing for you (and me fwiw), an AOSP +spen variant would be the best. Maybe you could isolate some of the more important pieces of stock sammy, and install them after AOSP.
Which is a good reason for wanting an AOSP.
I am finding swype with the s-pen almost better than two handed typing. Screen size aside, from a productivity standpoint, the s-pen > current AOSP anything.
I tried cm10 from the international version, it was cool. Of course I didn't have signal, but it everything was pretty fast.

Once I get my another laptop. (Hopefully a week) I can start building a device tree for our device phone. Then I will compile you guys a aosp from CM10 sources. I won't be using it myself tho as s daily driver and I do agree thats its pointless to have.
It won't be official because im not a part of the CM Mod team but it will be the same rom.

Thats because of the radio interface layer needs to be decompiled and edited. The htc thunder bolt was the first lte phone and any rom other then stock would not have signal becsuse of said ril files. Of course by now someone figured out how to edit this ril files. I believe I can use the knowledge I learned from editing the TB's ril fil to get CM10 working here.

I'm itching for an AOSP ROM like AOKP. I just really love the look of AOSP and Holo. I believe the best solution to the problem to find some way to automate the porting of N7100 ROMs to N7105s like TMobile/AT&T versions.
Yes some miui sounds good right about now too

I'd like that if we could get dual boot going. I really am missing Paranoid since I got the note2
noted for future reference on my Note 2
id love to see parandroid on the note 2 i havent tried it out yet but from the screenshots and reviews it seems amazing, also the omega rom has top benchmarks on the international version forum so id like to see that too
if you can get multi-window into AOSP I'm all for it. I don't use the pen that much but I love multi-window.
I think aosp and cm are definitely needed. Just look at how popular they were on the original Note.

Agreed. .. They have had that for quite a while now. I could live without the spen but it is growing on me. (One of the reasons I got this phone over the nexus 4.)
PA and AOKP is what I'm waiting for. But until then, these touch wiz roms have not been bad. Thank you CMENARD, PTMR3 and all the other developers on this forum.

My question is... which rom is best on this device? Maybe asking for too much but anything close to s3 and note 2 like rom would be sweet. I have an i777 on shostock3 and that rom is beast.

You inherited a damn good phone lol. The recently released jellybean leaks like FK23, FL04, and FL16 offer a close experience to that of the Galaxy S3. The home screen and notification bars are nearly the same and many features are carried over to our device as well. You have some interesting motion features to try out as well.
Honestly you can't go wrong with any. All the devs put a lot of hard work into their roms, and it shows. My personal favorite for ics is blu Kuban. As of right now I am running fk23, and have been since it's release.

Congrats on getting this phone:thumbup:
Now as far as best ROMs. There is no such thing as a "best" ROM. Every user has its own preference based on whether he is a power user or a casual user, whether he is into themed ROMs or ROMs with stock feel, etc.
So you are just going to have to look in dev forums, read user posts, read OPs and then decide.
I can say so and so ROM is better but thats for my taste. You are not me. And some devs may not feel good that I left out their ROM.
So take this advise and happy flashing!
