[Q] Best Epic Rom ?? Your input PLZ

I have a friend who has an epic. He asked me to mod it. I have the Vibrant and other GSM phones, So I really need some input on which of the Rom out there are the Best performers/ most stable and any other thoughts you might have. Also, a question There are no DL kernel roms for the Epic yet?, and if not, you have the latest December release modems ?
Go ahead and give your fav-rom a review !!
Thanks you in advance for your input

Since i posted first It would be logical to refer to the other posting as a redundant posting
I would prefer some specifics comparing how one works vs other.....

DK28 is the newest stuff we have. Nothing from December. :-(
I prefer Bonsai4All with ext4. You can do Bonsai4All (and many of the other ext4 roms) without switching the file system, too, if you don't want to mess with that.

I'd also recommend Bonsai4all. Great improvements everywhere.

Because it isn't finished yet. Video playing and recording are broken, while the camera doesn't have full functionality yet. Plus, it's still prebeta, although it's been pretty stable for me.
I suspect if the user is asking this question, they want something stable and are unwilling to take the time to try to see what's their personal favourite.
I recommend Bonsai4All and NebulaROM. They have been the most stable, have given me the best battery life, and the least amount of issues.

Video playing and the camera do work. Just no video recording. Honestly can't remember the last time I took a video though.
I don't know, good enough for my daily driver. I guess the little things may be more important to others though.

I like bonsai and quantum. Both are good.

stability wise:
Dl18 roms
1. Baked snacks 1.6 undisputed
2. Andromeda Galaxy 1.1.1a
3. Syndicate Rom
2 a 3 can be swapped
The dk28 froyo leak has bugs you might not want to deal with like if you dont flash the modem, lock gps, then flash dk28 the gps doesnt work... when you call ppl often you hear nothing unless you turn on/off speaker phone real quick.. and other crap thats not really worth the added flash support (youtube app still works on the dl18 roms just webpage flash videos dont)
But if you -really- want a dk28 rom i'd go with Bonsai4All themed. Its sexy. If you don't feel like dealing with EXT4 or CWM3 then epic experience is nice too.

Its funny how BThomas can lol at my post,but cant beat any of the scores Ive posted...Im down for a challenge...to BThomas,I know you know these ROMs all have the sae guts,but I use some on the edge stuff that just works in my ROM to provide the best speed and battery life.

My Defy Disappointment... no luck finding good rom

Hello
I've stop counting after 2000 hours spending flashing roms on my defy...
I came to a conclusion that no ICS/JB version will be good. everything I've tried eventually ended up with a slow rom that interfere daily use.
so I'm a bit disappointed about it cause I had to get back to CM7.2.
I've searched all over the net - what is the fastest rom for defy...and all forums say it's the CM7.
If someone can think of other version that works faster please let me know.
I really need FAST phone, and willing to flash an old rom, but to get stability and speed.
thanks for helping!
and thanks to all dev's that gave their souls in order to bring the newest rom to that old phone.

Try this rom :

Already tried that before posting :victory:
anyway, it is a bit slower than latest Quarx Build.
korto is right:
korto said:
+1
I tried V5 and V5.1. Both are based on Quarx 0409. V5.1 is supercharged, and is slower then original Quarx.
Rom has AOKP weather icons and some tweaks and cherries. Apex is default launcher, battery life is worst than original.
There are 3 versions for defy+, normal, overclocked and undervolted.
Good rom but latest Quarx`s nightly is much fluid.
Developer of this rom (Defy +++ from Androidhilfe) will released next version based on latest Quarx in couple few days.

the problem with ms2g is that after a while, it start to be sooo sloooww....
I was using ms2g for a long time...really liked that rom.
I think you all just need to admit what morotola realized long time ago... the defy cannot support further then GingerBread..

Try paranoid android its fast and almost stable.

Which is the best JB rom for WFS

I've search on this forum and did not find any thread listing all the available rom for the WFS and telling the pros and cons for each of those ROMs. I would like to install a very smooth and stable ROM for my WFS with a long lasting battery. Any suggestion? I'm tired of trying so many ROM that do not behave as expected.
Thanks

CM10.1 by JDevs . Trust me it's Stable and Fast too

I agree on that, last version was no success but a new one released today
Lol on second thought, the owl project seems the fastest romen the most stable for me (Fast scrolling no force close till now)
later today I stress the gps (google maps navigate) and the cpu (fruitloops mobile)
but I do not want to dissmiss the other developers, most of the time other devices follow in stability and than it's just a matter of taste..

And what about battery life, I've install SpeedDroid and it seems to be smooth and stable but battery is draining so fast I need to charge before the end of the day!

AFAIK there is no CM8... And for CM7, I don't believe ARCO ever built CM7 for galaxy w. There is a CM7 port in development section if I remember correctly. It is not from ARCO and it had some bugs....
May I ask why you don't like the last three versions. CM9 is pretty much bug free and quite stable. Even CM10 is pretty stable and currently using it. It is stable enough for me for daily use.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app

Because they drain too much battery and after some period they start to give some problem. At the beginning they are awesome but after they're not pretty good. I always do pristine to make things go better, but I just want a stable rom that is only faster then the original one on my galaxy w. And the cm's rom are not satisfying me.

If you don't like sir arco's work, you can just use stock rom, which is samsung's work. Just don't put a bad comment, not stable enough or what so ever. I don't know why you still feel that cm9 also not stable enough. I think all the cm9, cm10 and cm10.1 are all very stable and very good for daily use. But if you don't satisfy enough, and i don't know what will make you satisfy, just make your own rom.

OK first of all cool down a little bit. Everybody has different needs and what maybe stable for you might not be stable for somebody else. For me I had reboot issues for a very long time with CM9 but so many did not. But with the latest releases, bugs that bothered me disappeared.
And don't blame people for searching alternatives to satisfy their needs. And not everybody has development skills to built roms.
Sometimes I don't get you people. CM is not a religion and arco is not a prophet. I don't get why you people are so serious.
I am grateful that ARCO developed CM for us and I can't thank him enough. But gee it is just a phone and a ROM.
My suggestion to you is to CHILL...
I don't think ARCO needs your protection and his work speaks for itself.

Okey, sorry about that. Not that arco is a prophet, not at all. But i don't get it why people can't be grateful for what they got. Sorry for burst out. I just a little mad at that time.
Sent from my CM10.1 Wonder using xda premium

No, Arco is no prophet, just human like you and me. There you are right. He is a very smart guy who deserves a lot of thanks for porting CM9 to this device.
You just must understand many people are really really very thankful to him and sometimes overstating by threating him like a god.
I for myself also do not understand why CM9 isn´t working stable for you. It´s a really stable rom. Way more stable than Samsungs stock ROMs. With these I had always random reboots. That´s not the case since using Arcos CM9. Maybe it´s some apps you are using or your SDCard causing this.
Ok, but to be honest regarding stability in the final release I can´t tell. I was using RC2 with it´s older kernel till now because of the battery drain. it was running absolutely stable for me without any issues plus it gave me a awesome battery life, so I compiled my own kernel where i reduced it further. So if you are not satisfied with the final, you can try RC2 or RC3 together with my kernel. It gives way better battery life than Samsungs stock ROM will ever offer you.
However I updated last night to the final release and the battery drain appears to be the same like using Arcos CM9 RC2 with its stock kernel. So if the results will satisfy me, I will stay with the final and build a new personal kernel for it.

Most of the latest ROMs are based on ARCO's CM versions and I believe they will perform on the same level. However some of them may have some extra customizations to improve battery and performance etc. You may want to check their threads and see their features. Also there are some custom ROMs based on stock Samsung Roms. (Gingerbread) Like FAW, rebel etc. They may have custom kernels to speed up the phone.
When was the last time you tried CM9? Because as @honeyx noted, the latest version does seem to have good battery performance and stability.

As I already told you, try the final and if that doesn´t satisfy you regarding battery life, try the older RC2 or RC3. If one of these gives you better results, you can also try my kernel for them.

I think so, but I will focus on reducing the consumption further than adding a lot of governors. But this will require a lot of testing before launching it. Currently I´m testing the newer 3.0.81 kernel to which Arco updated his sources after launching the final release. This new kernel just has some changes in memory management like the latest kernel for CM10.1 where some people reported to get hangs. So I just added the lulzactive governor, incrased ram and reduced the voltages to first check it´s stability, but so far I didn´t get any hangs and freezes in games.
I´m really anal about stability and consumption and only will release a kernel that is working rock solid for me.

As many of you know, I am much into building kk roms because I believe they offer a very good compromise between performance and the latest trend/features. Of course, a few common features are not working, such as:
- MMS
- Camcorder/video recording
- Screen recording
- OpenVPN (kernel issue: cannot acquire tun interface socket)
Unfortunately these issues cannot be easily fixed by me.

My favorite is oxygen ROM android 2.3.7. I'm using my desire as my main phone through the day because I'm using my nexus 5 with a wind mobile unlimited data stick plan for internet at home.
Oxygen seems to be the only ROM that feels fast enough day after day and 100% stable. After using the nexus it was feeling really slow until I tried oxygen.
All the kk Roms look nice and work good for a short bit until they get unstable. I don't think it will ever be possible to fix these issues.

Hey Desire'd folks,
Just to keep you in the loop.. I am still working on my SlimKAT experiment.. It has taken much longer than expected because I have decided to use PA's framework as a base as it appeared to me to offer the ideal base for our device in terms of purity and speed. Right now, I am adding on top Slim's features and also stuff from CM. I can't promise anything.. and I hope that my efforts bring us a working result.
In case I will get stuck with SlimKAT, I would switch over to work on a new PA release. Have you taken notice of Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta 4 “Humble Huckleberry”? Is that really Desirable?
Cheers and have a nice day!
