I've tried most of them. Some are great and highly customizable. With that being said I'm currently running jellybean gb08 (stock/rooted). Battery is great phone is smooth and sleeps well not to mention full 4g speeds where the network doesn't suck. ( kernel source not out and I personally experienced slow 4g on custom kernels)

Try Cyanogenmod10.1 wild for the night, Its latest features and easy to use. It has bad battery life depending on usage i don't play games on this rom because i know it has bad battery life. If i just call, text, internet, twitter, facebook then i get about 14-15+ hours.

Try Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 EL29 Its a bit outdated but it has very awesome battery life, i get around 25+ hours.

You know that if you get this wrong you might as well put your balls in a frying pan and start cooking!!
So be wise and choose carefully. You need something simple that gets good signal all the time, doesn't freeze, doesn't crash, and the battery lasts most of the day. Sounds like stock/rooted jellybean to me.
If you want to get fancy with all kinds of bells and whistles you can try a custom build rom but you're going to be putting your self in danger.
The safest custom roms may be some GB builds, Calkulins el 29 v. 3.0 is a good set up, super stable with great battery life. ( I have this build on my wife's phone at present ). I was on this same build until Jb GB08 dropped.
Running stock/rooted GB08 /Fl16 kernel /GB08 modem, everything works the way it's supposed to.

I agree with PanchoPlanet. Use one of the GB08 roms if you want everything to work properly. Calkulin's EL29 v3.0 is an outstanding GB rom, but it just isn't the same as JB.
I use Touched By SG SIII by g_dling84 with GB All In One Mod by tdunham and I have zero problems.

My only suggestion, any of the GB08 JB ROMs. Why? Because of Google Now and the latest version of TouchWiz really makes this phone look and feel like a GS3.
I will not suggest any specific ROM, they are all great.

First off, asking for the BEST rom is like asing for an ETA on here, we just don't do it. That being said I might as well go for an IB4TL...
I will go as far as telling you there are only 3 setups I found that my wife likes AND are quality products that she never has to worry about little nag things. I will not say one is better than the other but all are different enough that you would need to try all of them in order to make an informed decision... I highly suggest you read and ask specific questions in each of these threads. One thing I can tell you is all three of these devs are rock solid players that really take care of the user.

[Q] Top Epic Roms

Just curious so if anyone wants to chime in please do ok ive noticed since the last month or so there seems to be 2 roms that stay updated and the most popular which are Calk and StrongSteves and he uses Calk's as base so my question is has anyone tried both and came to any honest conclusions on which is better and if Strong Steves just a themed version of Calk's
I have been extremely happy with Calk. Great battery life and speed.
If you like battery life, check this out;
Calk's 2.0.1a + Rogue 1.3 kernel

Daily driver plus tweaks ... Id say cauklins is most stable. Its a harder choice with these epic devs cus to be honest almost all these Roms are pretty damm solid for being a young phone. A lil better battery here, a lil better reception there...they're all pretty stablestable. Reboots stopped with the EK02 modem for me. And the only fc I've had is between zeam and my pandora folder. But zeam fixed it.
Coming from the HTC hero and the OGepic ...where there was a lot of test and error...were lucky to have some good smart seasoned devs on this phone...not to say they're decent ppl but they do decent work ;D memory leaks, LOS, reboots etc...get stomped out pretty fast.
Sent from the future
To the OP; I would check out the Starburst ROM. The latest build makes it extremely easy to flash with CWM. It offers the best stock experience in my opinion. It's an absolutely flawless ROM which is basically a stock Epic ROM stripped down for speed. The most stable build has been out for over a month and it's made by one of the most respectable devs for the Epic.
There are some options for customization as well and you can flash the latest official kernel/modem for the phone. The ROM is 100% stable, I have been running it since I got my Epic and wouldn't run anything else.
It's not a flashy ROM however, I like the build, it's super fast and stable, all of what you are asking for.

ICS recommendation for a bud of mine..

I got a buddy with an epic touch. He wants ics really bad. I own a tmo gs2 (I know I know :-/) I was wondering which of the ics roms you fine folks have flashed is most "fully functional" and good enough as a stable daily driver. My thanks in advance.

He could start with FE07 leak. It's ICS with TW and its pretty stable compared to some of the earlier leaks. It's an easy flash, too, thanks to sfhub's odin. You can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642564
That is a hard question to answer as everyone has a favorite for different reasons. They are all pretty stable. Calkulins E4GT 2 is one of the more stock looking with a few battery saving tweaks. Blend ICS "Goodness" has really nice themed ics look and has very similar tweaks. AOKP Roms are fairly stable abd have built in ROM Control which is very nice. I'm using HyDrA tablet hybrid ROM and its stable, but because of the dpi settings the market sees the phone as a tablet and you have to change your dpi to download regular apps from the market.

Another vote for fe07 leak then if your friend likes it send them here to figure it out on their own.
FE07 will be your best option for a beginner. Don't go to AOSP until source kernels are released. FE07 will be the most stable. CM9 is very stable too though.

The reason for this is because of the kernel for ICS not being released from Samsung/Sprint yet. It's pretty simple to do all the regular CWM functionality on an ICS based ROM though - Use Odin (or highly recommended: Mobile Odin from the play store, which doesn't require a PC) and put the el26 CWM kernel on your phone (it's found many places, like the AOKP OP for example). It wont boot up with this kernel so just boot into recovery and from there you can backup, flash themes, wipe things, and then to get back to your ROM simply flash an AOSP tweaked kernel - also readily available (in AOKP OP again).
Certainly a few more steps than we were used to on GB Roms but it's totally worth it to me. ICS is a massively better experience for me so the few hoops to jump through are worth it. When that source kernel hits (any day now) it will be the land of milk and honey.

Just came back from the Galaxy Nexus

I just came back to the Epic 4G Touch after having a Galaxy Nexus for a bit (bought one at launch and I'm selling it now) and damn it feels good to have this phone again.
I really wanted to love the GNex... especially the software buttons... but the battery life was complete sh** (I was lucky to get 8-10 hours) and certain things just weren't as smooth. Not to mention not being able to use my favorite live wallpapers because while everything runs like butter on the E4GT, it'd cause a very noticeable stutter/lag in the UI on the GNex. Oh, and the camera on the GNex is also crap in comparison.
Anyhoo... those of you that are running the leaked 4.0.x ROMs, how's the battery life?
I'm just fine using ADW EX until the 4.0 update hits... at which point I'll immediately install Apex Pro again... but I hope they don't wait until after the Galaxy S3 hits to push out the OTA to our phones.

The GNex is really not a "better" phone...and since I probably won't even root this thing, I'm not that concerned about development.
I Nexus is a great device, it's not quite as fast as the Epic Touch, but it gets the job done. The thing I disliked about the Nexus is the screen time didn't come anywhere near the Epic Touch and I'm a heavy user. So for medium-light users, the gNex would be perfect. I swear it's got to be the penTile screen on the Nexus that's hinders the screen time as far as battery life goes. I hear the SGSIII has penTile too, but it's a new ugpraded version of it?
I heard that Franco kernels for the Nexus had amazing battery life...I don't get eight to ten hours battery life on my Epic Touch on CM9 alpha 5 due to no kernel source...my phone lasts forever on Caulkins el29 based rom ...all in the kernel, brah.

What's your FAVORITE E4GT rom?

Just like the title says, it can be a gb/ics/jb rom, doesn't matter.
What's the rom that keeps you running back?
What's been the most reliable/fastest rom?
For me personally I have to say CM10 because I love JB. Coming in at a close second would be the Blu Kuban.
Aaaaand go....
I really liked Codename JB rom but the battery life wasn't good enough for everyday use. I know I will be back on that rom soon. In the meantime I have been on a vanilla aosp ICS rom for the past few weeks. Longest I have been on anything.

I've only had my phone since the ICS update....is a GB rom worth switching back to for battery/data speeds/general stability? If so, which one would you recommend? Just the stock EL29?

I certainly apologize. I have not seen this other thread you speak of. Furthermore, next time I create any kind of post I will tirelessly search for a same/similar one.

Universe rom, and currently ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz for a ICS rom
ReTurN oF ThE LivinG ReJeCTz is sweet because it has EVERY THING..... google now, samsung voice, JB lock screen........ GREAT ROM!

gingerbread is just way out dated as far as support/looks/ bells and whistles... but wat it lacks in looks it makes up with battery and stability.. everything works and you can't go wrong with it... but its just a rom I keep on my SD card cuz it will always work no matter wat..

Looks like the download link is bad. I've tried 3 times and they won't flash. The first one have me boot loop and the next 2 wouldn't even flash.

I don't really think this is a support thread for specific roms, however I'll try it now and report back.
Edit: Booted it up no problem.

What I meant was another thread like this, there have been several threads that were similar that have been closed. Everyone has their own opinion, yours will be different, millage may vary, blah blah blah.
No offense to you in any way, I just don't see this lasting long.

CM and MIUI have been my goto roms for any phone that's been supported. Of the 2 though, I'm partial to MIUI. Love the style of it (with ADW Ex launcher) and the customization.

You and your hatred of ics are hilarious. JB is built right on top of ics it's not even a new build just added features and a version number change. I bet if they went back and renamed fk23 an ICS build you'd hate it but since it's labeled JB you love it lol.
On topic: maybe this will cut down on the repeated question of "how do I update to fl24?" But I really doubt it. Seems recently theres been a huge influx of seriously illiterate n00bs who flat out refuse to even scroll down the page b4 clicking [new thread] or [reply] I stopped answering the same questions over and over and now just wait for them to figure out for themselves or someone else to parrot the answer for the umpteen millonth time :banghead:
I like to break stuff!

Not so fast EviL, I don't always jump into new releases or roms, I always observe and read, especially the bugs posts. If something works and has a good battery life I'll try it, now how do I know that ics sucks? Only because i tried it. So they fixed ics, after the fix they renamed it jelly bean- that works for me.
Yes I love the jelly bean.!!! :beer::thumbup:
Oh by the way, I like to fix stuff!!!

True. I took it as him asking when it's going to hit his phone..
Sent from my GN2 or E4GT
Will this update hit my phone at 3a.m. While i was on my lunch break at work so the oblivious question is will this update affect my phones performance? And when will the rooy be avabile for it?
Yes there is root available, also thru Qb king vids, but id caution on the custom recovery, they need to come up with a better method, cause it made a few phones go nuts, including mine, still waiting.....
