I have read that custom roms/kernels make the 4G connection slow (I have noticed this effect on JellyBAM and other ROMs). Is there a custom ROM that allows full 4G speed, or do I have to use stock? Is it only the kernel I need to worry about?
Thanks.
4G is throttled on every AOSP ROM as far as I know, try a custom TouchWiz ROM, there are a couple new ones out

Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.
I was wondering this too. I'm on official CM 10.1 and its great. The only problem is the slow 4G speeds. I use to average 6Mbps now I never go past 1Mbps

No matter what from I flash and its been many lately... I keep finding myself going back to venums hydra rom. Still rocking it! I like paranoid but this one is more stable and I like its customizability better. The only thing its missing is hybrid settings. Period.
I flash, and always end up running Blazer 4.1 again. Ive since stopped flashing roms. Being a flashaholic with this device just isnt fun anymore. We need ICS. We need SOURCE!

yes, every single dev is switching to the gs3. there will be absolutely zero dev work on this device once the gs3 is freely available to all.

I am noticing that all the ROMs coming out recently do not have 4g WiMAX. Apparently Google dropped support for it? Is there a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM with 4g? What about stock?

No there most likely won't be. Google has dropped support for 4g wimax in any android build after 4.2.2.
The only way would be for somebody to port all the necessary files and code over. Which unfortunately is very difficult.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, stock ROMs have 4G... But those aren't 4.3. Let's just say it's not gonna happen cuz let's face it, there aren't many devs left on Wimax devices and that would take a LOT of work.

Probably because sprint is going to phase out wimax as it upgrades to LTE . I read an article stating it wasn't going to be around for much longer .

Will be completely gone by 2015
I have a epic touch that I use for my racing simulator as a digital dashboard. I don't need it to have any other function but this. So all i really need is the playstore. Can anyone suggest and completely stripped rom with good battery battery performance. Right now I'm on Vlluminati cm11 and uninstalled everything i don't need. But if with that... I'm getting bad battery life. Would i be better off with a stock rom?
You could try my ROM, Project X. It is stock based and there is a bare bones version.

If that's all you need, why not go back to Gingerbread? CM7?

The app im using has some features thats only available on 4.0 or higher. But I'm willing to loose those if the battery life on gingerbread is substantially better

So far so good, battery drain is definitely slower compared to stock
