Most stable ICS ROM

Hi guys
I have been using Calk ROMs for a while now and tried to install the ICS one with no luck. The battery goes from 65 % to 15 just after restarting the phone. Anyone can tell me what is the most stable ICS ROM right now for the E4GT?
Thanks

they all suffer across the board from about the same issues... plus its either Miui, AOKP or CM9 and they are all having issues. Just wait it out

I have had really good luck with BLEND GOODNESS ROM. Battery life is ok on it, not as good as my old GB ROM. This ROM is good enough to be used as a daily driver.

Blend Goodness Rom is the best it had the best battery life. I use to use easy battery saver now I don't and it has some great features like beats audio and Sony bravia engine here is the link

Just for clarification the issue with the battery going from 65% to 15% wasn't because Calk's ROM was unstable it's an issue across all the leaks. The issue isn't so much that your battery is dying uber fast, it's an issue with the battery software (that tracks and reports your battery percentage) not being calibrated to the actual hardware/battery. Any time you install a new ROM you should allow for one to two full discharge and charging cycles before you get a real solid battery reporting. Unfortunately with the leaks coming out as fast as they are this hasn't been much of a reality...
As far as stable and awesome? I'm a big fan of the Miljzz's Goodness Blend. It's awesome! If you're going for more of a stock feel Calk's been cranking them out too.
EDIT: I heard that Venum's is pretty cool but I haven't tried it yet.

+1 to Blend! It's smooth and sexy.

I have been following "The ICS Goodness Blend" for a while now and it is MUCH more stable than when the first ICS leak came out. I have had no SOD on V1.9 yet.

I was say Venoms new ics rom bcuz its been running perfect...very good battery life for me and also Mijj rom as well...but im currently running Venoms and its excellent!!!

Mijjah Blend ICS ROM by far

Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions and see.

There are only two ics roms for our phone, aosp (cm9, miui) and Samsung (fb and fc based roms). Any other ROM is just a themed or scripted version of the previously mentioned and will have all the same bugs.

Looking for a STABLE ROM for the Step Daughter

Was looking for some pointers on a STABLE ROM
Stability is the number one item of importance, rather than ICS or GB, but ICS is preferred for the camera options..
Currently the ET4G is at the stock OTA ICS build, but it is not even activated at this point.
My Step Daughter is using my EVO 4G, and as I upgraded my GF to the SGS3, I want to drop the EVO and move her to the ET4G.
No real rush, I told her it would be a week or two, I am just looking for a build that is super stable, as I wont get much chance to update and/or modify the build once I get it fully setup and give it to her.
Think I am best off using the rooted version of the Stock ICS FF18 ROM, with a modded kernel and just leaving it at that point?
Sadly, I have spent far to much time in the Epic section for my phone, and haven't had a chance to sort through all the builds here.
No need for extra themes, or fancy mods, just basic ICS will suffice, she couldn't tell the difference anyways.
I tried both Blazer and Calk's GB ROM, but both had stability issues here and there, and I was hoping for some tips to use with a new ICS build, now that the OTA is out.
Any advice for better stability than:
Stock ICS build
CWM recovery
Modded Kernel (AGAT's ?)
and just let it go at that?

Well for ICS I'm running M'ICS 1.1 its very stable. Also using agat 0.2.1 dirty kernel (safe) for extra speed and battery life. As for GB, calkulin or blazer roms are very stable as well. I got good battery life on both. Just make sure you read up and ask questions if you not sure. Happy flashing.

Me personally I'm using the deodexed stock rooted ROM with Agat's safe kernel & Phaker's placebo script, & it's been super smooth for me so far

Thanks for the responses..
I have been leaning towards rooted stock ICS with AGAT's kernel, but figured I would see what flash-a-holics would advise

With the issues surrounding ICS, think I am gonna go with a GB ROM..
Torn between Blazer and Calk's... sigh... lol...

I personally liked blazer more that calkulins. But that's just me. Its all up to you. Plus I flashed mysterious beast theme for it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I'm gonna stay away from themes and tweaks, unless I find I got no choice...
Been a big fan of Calk's for a long time, and tried both before my GF got her SGS3, just seemed to have a few more issues with Blazer, but most was with Facebook, and I feel it may have been a FB app issue, and I also think I am gonna stay with the EL29 modem, as the newer ones didnt seem to work as well.
I may just keep both on the internal SD, and create a nand backup of both one I get the the phone fully setup, and let her try both for a week or two and see what works best for her in the Baltimore area.

Yeah the EL29 modern works good for me in the dmv area.. I also been having success with ff18 in dc

Stable ics??

Since there was the official release of ics for the E4GT FF18 if I'm not mistaken, I'm asking does it mean that their is a fully stable ics rom bug free?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Nothing is ever bug free but all of the current roms not in alpha are stable enough for daily use.

Stable ics roms have been out before the official ics update.. The hype for us rooted users is that we got source.. But yes there are plenty of stable ics roms out there.. Make sure to read the OP.. Should have the bugs listed

Stable, my friend, is relative, even the official ics update could be deemed unstable... that's why there are updates for updates ect...

I've been running the Blu Kuban from RUJELUS for months now, even before the official ICS release, and I couldn't be happier. There is even a ROM Updater built into it so you can update straight from your phone and the ROM itself is completely customizable without having to hook it back up to your PC for flashing. I can go 2 days with light-moderate use without needing to charge, and a full day from 7am to midnight with heavy use.
It's the cleanest and smoothest running ICS ROM I've tried, and I've tried quite a few. Calkulin's is good as well.

Unfortunately Calk's is outdated and he's not supporting it anymore. I went with Blazer ICS and it's running great for me. I like that it's debloated with very little themeing or 3rd-party apps added. There are also a bunch of mods that you can add on for more features (like adding reboot options to the power menu or fixing the GPS drivers). Recommended for sure.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

This link is to all stock links. Leaks and officials. You'll get tons of opinions, but i think this its what you asked for. I would recommend Fi03 or Fi25 if your friend is really wanting ics.

I'm running Kobridge's FI25 ROM. It's pretty stock-ish, fluid and overall great. Battery is nice as well. I'd give that a look and try.

Just go to settings and about phone and update firmware or android. The latest official ics build is fh13 so if he is on gb you will have to update to ff18 then fh13 or you can download a one click and use Odin to update. Depends if you want it rooted or not. If he is rooted now and has removed stock apps you will have to use a bone click option or revert back to stock first. You can look up qbking77 on YouTube and every custom rom he pretty much has a video for along with how to get the stock ota updates. To get the stock ics look after updating to the ics build go to Sprint id to change to the stock look or download a launcher like nova launcher or apex or whatever you prefer. If you want a stock ics rom with root you would want an aosp rom like cyanogenmod beta 1. Go to the original development thread.

So even the official builds suck? Wtf lol.. She's a chick so I don't wanna hear botching but GB is just not happening its gotta be ICS. So anybody recommend a stable rom? I25 leak any good?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I have had no issues at all with the ics ota updates but a lot of people have claimed issues. I did a factory reset and wiped cache after the updates and never had issues with battery or blue tooth or whatever else people complain about. I would say let her try ics for a week and see for herself. You can always go back to gb if she doesn't like it. I love cm9 beta 1 I just have some data issues sometimes but it's still being developed so I'm sure the minor issues the rom has are being worked on as we speak. There is also tons of leaks for ics the latest released leak is fi25. And I think it's supposed to be the last leak for ics until jelly bean is leaked.

Dont know what everyone is whining about concerning ICS on our phone. There's a bunch of options now for all tastes. I get a day and a half or more every charge with 3+ hrs screen on time. Every ICS leak/ build has gotten better for a while now.

FH13 which is the latest official works great for me.
Tappin' Typin'

FH13 the best so far.
Check this thread [Oficial OTA Repository] . I post all official OTA links. Download them all in order them copy paste them in SD card. Go to recovery and flash them in the right order.
Note: You must be pure stock and use stock recovery.
Instructions just in case:
1. You don't need to rename zip.
2. Copy to SD Card not Internal.
3. You most be full stock. (no root, no custom kernel etc.) these are official OTA zips directly from Google servers.

Whatdooya mean "no love"?!
I put my woman on FF18 Stock rooted and changed build prop to say its Fi03 to avoid the update nag, added some lite placebo tweaks and she has zero complaints at all.
She actually used 3 times the bandwidth as me last month lmao and her battery is a rock thanks to screenstate, WiFi_idle_ms and a small a sysctl.conf..
No maintenance needed..

I'm guessing no love because this phone still doesn't have a proper running vanilla ICS or JB experience for it. I understand where he's coming from. With the Nexus S 4G I had, obviously a Google phone, they'd have various ICS and JB roms running smoothly. But for this device, Samsung/Sprint is holding it back from its potential.

I just can't say enough good things about Re-Calked ROM. Battery life and smoothness are top notch and there are tons of mods for theming purposes, including a transparent status bar mod.

Offically, FH13 is the way to go.
Leak-wise I think I'm going to try this combo next:
FI03 ROM
FI03 Repacked Kernel
FI25 Modem
...and see what happens. Love the signal on FI25 but hate that so many other features were either removed or changed. Also hate Connection Optimizer on FI03 but I can just leave it off.

Atrue we are a little bit behind and they treat us like step children, I'll give you that.... but have you not met the devs around here?
I think the dev and user support shown in E4gt's slice of paradise far outweighs official support at arms length
( and I've tried three jb builds, all of them daily-able)
I do see your point though.. a little official love couldn't hurt.

What I meant by no love is that ics is something I've been running so smooth since my HTC Sensation. The epic 4G touch has the same processor as the gti9100 yet I feel like sprint or Samsung is holding back. All the s2s I see are on gingerbread with people complaining about bugs and issues in official builds I find that unacceptable. But I don't have this device so idk how bad it is. I had a great ics experience both Sammy and aosp on international s2. The sprint variant seems like a killer device that just needs killer software to go with It.
Ps. thanks for everyone's input.. Putbuee on the latest ics leak odexed version with matching kernel and modem and the phone is flying!

What garwynn says is correct.
My g/f likes to stay on official releases, so she's on FH13. It was a HUGE improvement over the piece of crap that was FF18, so I would recommend that one.
Myself, I'm using stock rooted FI03 with stock FI03 kernel and FI03 modem. I'm pretty happy with this setup, and I probably won't be jumping to another ROM until JB is more stabilized.

Why do people make statements like that? " Huge piece of ..."etc blah..?
I used several ff18 builds with zero issues .. my woman's been on it for 2 months with zero issues as well.
So it was bad how exactly?
Not trying to be an ass . I've just never understood these blanket statements about an entire build being bad vs the possibility of one flash being bad...
Edit: for clarity, I'm not saying i dislike fh or fi builds either... I'm just saying I havent had a major issue with any build since fc27(I think)

I'm using stock rooted FI25 with the Agat 5.4 kernel and the Pegasusq governor. Works great for me! There are a lot of great custom ROMs out with CM9 being one of my favs but the bugs make me stick with stock.

JB to GB - Need Opinions!

So Ive been doing some comparing of A LOT of Roms. Trying to see which one would be the greatest for battery life. Im going to be working long lloonng hours here shortly and need the battery life. Ive been looking All the way back to EL26 GB. So far Calkulin's E4GT v3.0 [ EL29 has my eye. Right now Im on ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2. Im just looking for others opinions. Maybe there is a Rom I missed? Tell me what you think.

if you want just battery life and a little performance, just go with calkulins 3.0 it has by far the best battery

Thats what I was looking at. I was comparing that to his ICS version, and Blazer Rom. Hard to choose. But so far Im aiming at Calks 3.0

My experience with blazer on gb has been my best experience with this phone, better than the jelly bean Rom I'm on now. Personally I say go for blazer
