Well, I plan on ODINing to the new EE03 modem tomorrow, but I want to know if it is truly worth it. (This may help others who haven't updated as well)
Right now, I am using the EB13 modem, and my battery life is amazing. Sometimes I lose signal, and on I can't receive texts on EE03 unless I use Google Voice.
So how is the EE03 modem working for you guys?
Please vote and comment! It'll help me (and probably others) decide if it's worth it! Thanks!
Edit: I am referring to the EE03 ROM. Not any FroYo ROM!
You need to specify on which rom they are running the modem. EE03 modem on Gingerbread is garbage (not really but it seems that way). EE03 modem on Froyo is getting good reviews.

Fixed in OP.
I am only specifying toward the EE03 Swiss Cheese ROM.
Ee03 is working great on urban fury rom.

Second choice. Running ACE 2.0 with EE03 modem.
How is it with the EE03 Swiss Cheese ROM? That's what I really what to know =P
I ran EE03 for a bit but it was really laggy as opposed to SRF. I am now running SRF with EE03 modem and have never looked back. The 4g speeds are increased by a decent increment.
Sounds like the modem is good enough to try with the EE03 ROM. Always can switch back if it doesn't work out for me anyway.
Been running EE03 modem on stock plus rom, and it's been fine. Haven't really noticed much difference but it definitely isn't worse. Use skydroid yesterday on the course and my GPS was rock solid all day.
Yeah you can always try. I'm not sure how it would work - not too familiar with switching between ext 4 and RFS though.
I find this pretty funny how I haven't seen one person saying they're running EE03 on the Swiss Cheese EE03 ROM xD.
Cause Swiss Cheese is horrid.
Ee03 is running great for me I've got about sixteen hrs off the charger and im at fifty one percent. I haven't really done much but text and surf xda for a few
Running viperrom synergy ......

I saw no notable improvements...
though i did notice with the ee03 ROM:
Not getting voicemails, signal bars were being weird, annndddddd it was overall choppy rom for me
i roam more than usual since i went to ee03 modem and swiss cheese. and its hardly ever data roaming.
You need one more poll option:
"It's great; but bugs have made me revert".
I ran Bonsai EC05 + EE03 modem. It fixed some data and signal issues, but I ran into some random reboot issues and some extra battery drain.
The other day EE03 brought Bonsai down to 25 percent at the end of the day (same thing had been running EE03 since it released), at which I flashed back to EC05.
EC05 Bonsai beta has the best battery life possible. Under the same usage I'm hard pressed to hit 60 percent.
I tried EE03, it worked great for signal...until it'd drop every so often. Maybe I'm picky but EC05 never dropped 3G/4G signal on me.
ee03 has some bugs but it seems better than the old ones
I don't think it's the modem that is dropping the signal because I am running the EB13 modem with EE03, and I lose signal a lot.
I Just wish the market would download and install a app when i press it once .... doubt it has to do with modem just saying the apk sucks 8(

I am running DK28 viper 2.0 trinity with the genocide kernel and I am pretty happy with it. It is ridiculously fast and haven't had any problems with it all.
Is it worth going to all the trouble to flash it to EB13? Is it any better than the viper rom?
EB13 is amazingly smooth. There are a lot of shortcomings, but omfg the smoothness.
Plus pretty soon I'm sure viper rom well require eb13.

Your rom will most likely be updated to EB13 in the future, if you want to wait to just update the rom. I flashed the deodexed EB13 and am using LauncherPro and have not had any issues whatsoever, it is amazingly smooth and stable for me.
I think I will wait to change... It took a lot of time to find a ROM that was kickass and I don't want to downgrade it to EB13 if the specs are not overwhelming.

Specs? God knows you could never get back that millisecond extra it took you to open up a app.
Dk28 will not be supported anymore. If you like viper rom then just wait till they get a rom on eb13 and then upgrade to it.
I'm liking EB13 haven't seen the dk28 bugs like wifi errors.
My Experience with EB13
Here are the pros:
-Great TouchWiz launcher improvements. Allows for user settable home screens up to 7.
-Bluetooth VoiceDial works if you Odin the.tar file.
If you flash EB13 with CWM or update.zip its hit or miss. (errors out right after connecting to headset). I tried several times and still buggy.
-EB13 modem seems stable.
-TWS issues.
Here are the cons:
-Map compass is 180' off. Fix is to calibrate screen upside down. Then its fine. Accurate within 3-5 meters and oriented correctly.
So far I am running unrooted and happy. Baking it for a week.
Once I remove the bloatware, this should be a fast, smooth machine and I will be even happier. Stay tuned.
Epic Stock EB13 (Odin) Unrooted for now.
I say yes.
I have EB13 deodexed with Genocide 0.3a kernel and LauncherPro+, and everything is buttery smooth for me.
With the camera blur fixed. Its worth it. I love it!
I've noticed 0 difference, going from dk28 to eb13... genocide . 3a is AMAZING!!!!! But I was running it on dk28 also.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I'd say yes since the voice call (speaker toggle) bug and wifi bugs are no more, and it is smoother overall performance than DK28. Personally I would just flash the genocide .3 kernal on top of what you have now as I believe genocide is compatible with DK28 (or was it just that first release) and then wait till they update viper to eb13.
I plan on upgrading, just waiting for a ROM that catches my eye.

ACS Syndicate is so FAST. They are about to release the 1.1 version. Make sure to update. Excellent fixes involved. Should be the best EB13 ROM until Gingerbread (CM7) releases.
Steve Jobs can suckad*ck
I have run a few tests, and ever since installing EC05 I have noticed that my latency on 4G is way better. I used to see it around 250, and now it is in the 90 to 120 range. It also wakes up faster than it did before. I actually like using 4G now, lol. Anyone else notice that their latency and wake up is better?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
That's due to the updated modem firmware mostly. They performed several fixes on that front and overall should be getting a lot better performance not just on 4G but 3G as well.

When ACS makes a ROM from EC05 then I'll update. Are you using stock or Bonsai?
The EC05 update and the modem overall fixed all the problems everyone was seeing. Check every problem people were complaining about and you will see that Sprint fixed all of the problems with the EC05 update. The Modem is nearly perfected in the EC05 update as well.
Even when acs does release the new version it may not include the modem just like bonsai. So just odin it now its worth it. 3g drain is really low now.

What does everyone think of EF02?
I have EC05 rooted and have had occasional issues with visual voicemail (says cant play until I restart the device), texts not coming through properly, and misc other issues. I was considering going to a ROM such as bonsai, but thought maybe EF02 would be better since it's close to a stock release.
I use my phone for business and look for stability and battery life primarily with performance and eye candy ranked third or fourth. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

There are some kinks to work out. GPS is pretty iffy, and some apps don't work, for some reason. Still, it's clear the future is bright, cause I can't wait for something already this snappy to get rfs replaced, overclocked, and tweaked to hell like the froyo roms.
As for your other issues, I ported my number to google voice, so they handle all my texting/voicemail. No regrets so far, other than maybe that I can't use handcent anymore. People get my texts instantly too. My brother was at a ball game I was watching on tv once and was getting my texts along the lines of "He was safe!" so quickly after the plays he jokingly asked me if the TV was somehow ahead of live action.
One issue I'm having with EF02 is that I've lost the default shortcuts on the toolbar. All I have is Applications...
Anybody know how to get them back?

I'm taking aa i3 for a run. But for a worry free xperience do the following..
Odin eb13.
Get gps lock.
Root.
Flash ef02. Set it up to ur liking.
Odin ec05 modem.
If you use titanium backup then restore only app not data!

I've had no issues at all with EF02 w/EF10 modem. The only GPS issue I ever have is using check in on Facebook but the GPS locks fast so I think it's the Facebook app which in my opinion is pure garbage. It sucks on my girlfriends phone too and some of my coworkers have problems with the app as well.
I'm getting excellent performance. With 105+ apps installed, I'm getting 2500 on quadrant. I'm going to test gps in a few. All apps seem to be working.. i had some that didn't but i just uninstalled then reinstalled from market and it worked. Running i3 with GPS fix and chris41g rotation lag fix.

I ended up going back to EC05 for SRF 1.2, but thats out of personal preference for the SRF rom. In my experience with EF02, it was very good. Fast for RFS, pretty good battery life, and all around mostly pretty stable... seems Samsung/Sprint are pretty close to a final/official build to me.
I am using EF02 with EF10 modem and it has worked perfectly so far. GPS works better than ever. All of my apps work. And I have had none of the wierd EC05 force closing with the 3 vibrates. It works great for me and can't wait for the official to drop.
I have been using EF02 for a while (AR i2) and everything has been very good, I had some strange issues with the GPS at first but now everything is working fine.
I get 12-15 hours with moderate use, not nearly as good as some of the Froyo roms but worth it because of Skype/Netflix... With the EF10 modem I got about half that, so I went back to the EF02 modem and everything is great.
I thought ef02 aa i3 was pretty good. Memory issues pushed me back to froyo. The leak didn't seem to clear memory correctly and used too much. other than that and gps issues at first I was actually happy with it. All in all not to bad. These froyo roms seem to be to polished to continue on a leak rom though.

I'm considering going back to froyo from EH17, and I was wondering what would be the best setup for battery life?
One I have in mind is SRF 1.2 w/ Genocide Kernel and EE03 modem?
It varies from phone to phone. I'm on SFR 1.2 with Genocide 1.0, EC05.

Just curious, why haven't you flashed Genocide 2.0?

Damnn! I think I might stick w/ SRF though only because I like the theme more and I've used it before. (not 1.2, but an older version)
My phone just likes 1.0 more than anything else with the exception of the Vision kernel that borked everyone's phones. Mine included.
I switched back the other day. I like sfr, but figured I would try something new, and went with random rom 2.2 phoenix with genocide 1.0, but kept the eh17 modem. So far so good. Random seems to be set up very good for max battery life. Staying on genocide 1.0 for now, cause after reading through the thread a bit, someone had posted that the rom is pretty much optimized for that kernel. I am, however, looking forward to some sfr 1.3 if it ever drops.

Adam, David should be releasing a ROM soon that I think your phone will like. If he changes to many things, Ill just release EC05OCEv4.

Its fantabulous, or tightitious... Both those words are spoken on a regular by a friend of mine Its probably what SFR 1.3 will be, unless they made an app to go with it.

For me the best battery life I have seen is on SRF 1.2 with the twilight kernel. I had nearly four hours of screen on time in like 28 hours.
Best I've ever seen length wise was like 38 hours but screen on time was less than two hours total.
SRF 1.2 is so buttery smooth it seemed like a new phone. Now if I could just get skypes front facing camera to work on Froyo.
Edit: Probably should add I am running JUWE's ram script. I find it easier to deal with and get similar results to V6. Running it at stock speeds so it is undervolted. I have also frozen DRM, SNS, and com.samsung.
I have had no issues now that I cleared all backups reflashed eh17 and eh17 modem and cleared everything before flashing
yes getting to battery, each one is a little different some last a little longer hard core use. to me depends on how many apps you have, where you start actually using phone the most and when not in use, i have settings app and shut down 3g till I need it.
And Everyones Phone is different.
Takes a Little Trying and Finding what Fits You!!!
Thanks everyone. I'm on Urban Regeneration right now and after giving it a daily spin, it seems to be pretty solid.
After being on SRF 1.2 for MONTHS and never tried a GB ROM
I want to which one is the best to flash for now ACS, Starsky, Legendary, ect.
or should I just stay at SRF for now as far as stability and usage is concern
well acs kills your GPS so dont use that... Dunno about the other 2.
I would recommend ERA Legendary (beta 3) at the moment. Everything seems to work really well so far and GPS isn't broken.

I went to try that but the link to beta 3 has been taken down (beta 1 and 2 are still avail).
I'm running the Pre-rooted Deodexed EI22 and have no problems (well, none that weren't my own fault - flashed w/o wiping and caused an errant notification led).
Anyway, I like this one... used the free version of Titanium Backup to get rid of the Sprint bloatware and it runs great.
Well, there's my $0.02.

I've been using ACS, and I'm not sure why but my GPS is working just fine (I get 9/9 locks). The one thing I did (and this happened accidentally) was wipe my entire phone, data and all. Odin'd back to EC05, turned GPS on and then flashed the new modem and ACS rom. My GPS is actually quite quick to lock, even in rooms of my house I've never gotten a lock before.

Some reports of data not working, but so far I'm not having any issues with it. I tried ACS ICSv2 but I had no luck with GPS. So far this rom is working well.
I went from ACS ICS EH17. Cleared everything. Odin'd modem back to EC05, and then to EI22. Then flashed the rom, but the GPS is still borked. Tried the other modem suggested and even flashed the GPS fix again, still no GPS.
I will say that other than the GPS issue ACS ICS v2 is solid. Battery life has been great for the first 18h 41m. Dispaly time on is 3h 9m, and I have 22% remaining.
It is also very fast. I notice no lag in menus and I am using the beta 21 of TW4.5for my launcher.
I'm on ERA Legendary Beta 3 and have no issues whatsoever.

I tried ACS ICS and had GPS problems.
I flashed ERA Beta 3 this morning...when the link was up.
That worked well...gps and all.
I flashed back to ACS ICS and my GPS remained working...after reboots and shutdowns.
era delete google chrome broswer,instead of dolphin broswer, i don't like.
acs ics v2 has gps issue
i flashed back to acs ics eh17 v6 now,waiting for update.
If you want a "barebone" ROM that's speedy and stable, try StarskyROM. There is one tiny bug that screws up the phone dialer app with a FC, but flashing k0nane's updated noCIQ MOD fixes it. As far as I know, this is the only ROM right now that has the "adrenaline shot" MOD from the SGS4G, which in my opinion, gives it a barely noticeable speed boost/better battery than the rest atm. But as always, ymmv

I have been using ACS ICS V4 all day. Only problem I have found is 4G isn't working but that could be because I flashed the EI22 modem before I came to work.
I have been using Thunderhawk 3.0.5, no issues or FC's. GPS, Wifi, 4G all work fine.
I wish I could say Cyanogen, but waiting for a version where everything plus vid recorder works.

Thunderhawk
I suggest Thunderhawk. Been using RandomKings roms since Phoenix and they are all great(IMO). However, this may be some error on my part but I couldn't get Youtube to work on ThunderHawk to work. I could hear sound but no video and it would vibrate like a force close but that was it.
My 2 top pick at the moment are ACS ICS V5 and SleeperRom. Both are quite stable and good with battery life. They both also have lots of great stuff under the hood (lots of the best hacks, fixes, and mods from the past few months). The Samurai kernel (which gives you a lot of freedom in terms of frequency and voltage) works great with both of them.
I wish I could say CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI, but neither are fully functional or stable just yet on the Epic.

Have you tried the Legendary rom? Not trying to convert you, just hoping to get your input on the differences between the two (or three).
