Which EI22 ROM to flash

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.

hmm... they took the link off the post saying data didn't work, but it works just fine...
here's the link if you wanna try it --> http://era.techfumaster.com/ERA_EI22_BETA_3.zip

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).

Gingerbread ROM You Are Using...

I've been running Syndicate Rom v1.2 for abotu 6 months now and while waiting for v1.3 (2.0) or whatever version will be based on EI22, am curious what people are using now. I've read through all the threads and ACS ICS (now v3.5) looks like a good one to try.
Yes, I am not sure which EI22 to run yet, so I'm still on Froyo.
Thanks.

X2.
I'm wondering the same thing, except I haven't been on xda for awhile and don't even know what's out there. Srf 1.2 with genocide 1.1.1 and ef02 modem has been good for me.

This thread would be great if new people would read it instead of posting new threads on "what's the best ROM". They could see which is the most popular and ask questions here. Nice. (but that won't happen lol).

waiting patiently for CM7

I was trying different ones last night and my god are they all fast including stock unrooted. Marcusant's ICS is what I've settled on right now. Legendary was good but too Vanilla Android for me. If you like that sort of thing, jump right on. I'll also be testing some others. Tomahawk may be good if you're very used to SRF. It looks very similar. Haven't gotten to load it yet. Haven't had any issues at all. Seems more customizeable or maybe practice with the leaks has yielded superior results. Seems like there's going to be more coming, too!

i have been using ICS v2. i love it so far, i did have one random reboot, but its fast, seems more consistent than my previous rom (bonsai ec05). I cant wait for the GPS to be fixed, i am loving this room so far (well im not too much of a fan of the glowing blue scroll bars).

Best ROM for ECO5 powered Epic is deadly package of srf 1.2 + Genocide 2.0 OC to 1.4Ghz
For Ei22 , I have virtually tested all available roms (all versions too) and found ERA Legendary beta 3.1 + AIP rom OCed to 1.2 to be most stable and swift.
Loving it... maybe ACS guys will come with next version of SRF 2.0.
Anybody Listening !!!

i could not get legendary to flash on my phone for some reason. it just sits on the nobekernal screen after i flash it. i waited like 5 minutes and it just stays there.
If i can just get the GPS working on ICSv2 i will be very happy.

Yes, that's the one. I didn't like ERA on screen kb with tinny keys or blue swype and switched to Flex-T9.

The latest ACS-ICS V3.5 release seems to be working great! No issues found with gps- locking 8/8 satellites from indoors, and no issues sending mms, or uploading photos for facebook.
ACS and Marcusant have done a great job with this Gingerbread release.

Clean GB has been working fine for me with no glitches at all
EDIT - I know I said I'm waiting on CM7 , but I starting going into withdrawals

um that starsky rom looks pretty ok to me....
lol
check sig :]

Got it downloaded too for future reference if I have future problems with ACS-ICS.

CleanGB....battery life is great for me, and with the black theme, it is what it says....clean! Thinking about flashing the samurai kernel over it.
Though, I do have nandroids of cm7 and miui that I'm sure I will jump back to from time to time. Cm7 was my dd since the last release until last night. Besides video recording, everything else worked great for me, including mms, and being able to switch themes on the fly is awesome.
Gonna stick with cleangb for a bit though. Good stuff!

I'm using ACS ICS 3.5 and I'm quite impressed. It's definitely a speed demon...really snappy. The kernel seems to be very stable in overclock also. This new GB with the ACS ICS ROM is more than i was expecting, especially considering the newness of it. I don't miss my old FROYO/syndicate frozen ROM one bit. Gingerbread/ACS ICS and a little bit of Voltage control tweaking...well...it's like I have a brand new phone.

I flashed the Samurai a little bit ago = running smooth on Clean GB !

which cm7 (mod?) is the most stable?

I am looking to try cm7 for the first time.
I guess I have a few choices:
official, batf
neutrino
and atrix weeky builds
I have read weekly 4 has issues with wifi, which neutrino is based off of.
Any cm7 have stable wifi? and stable 3g?
looking for stability and battery life, and I read great things of the cm7 battery life
Thanks

One of the best cm7 builds is RedPill hybrid. really recommend you at least try it. It didn't like batf that much.

No problems with WiFi on Weekly 4 here.

I have the wifi problems while using Weekly 4 and Neutrino (based on weekly 4). You can "solve" the problem by leaving wifi on 24/7, but it does add to battery drain. That said, I am a heavy, heavy user and easily make it a full day (3 hours of screen on, 3-5 hours of wakelock from listening to music) using Neutrino 1.4S 1Ghz with wifi set to always be on. I have no 3G/4G signals with either Weekly 4 of Neutrino. As for which of those two is better - totally personaly preference. I am a "barebones" kind of person, so I run Neutrino.
Official Ba2tF is rock solid, and has no outstanding, widespread issues that I am aware of.
Nightly 20 had an issue for me where if I tried to use any of several of the GApps, it would cause my phone to lose its data connection, re-establish it, lose it, re-establish it, etc. If i close the offending program (Maps, Talk, and Youtube) or just hit the home button so that the offending program was not the focus application, everything would be fine again, until I used any of the three offending programs again. This problem doesn't seem to be "widespread", but has been reported and talked about for many different phones running that nightly (check the S2 forums and the Evo 3D forums for example).
Tl;DR -
Rock solid?
Ba2tF
Rock solid if you don't have the wifi problem or can deal with slight battery drain due to having to have wifi on all the time?
Weekly4 / Neutrino (personal preference)
I don't really see much of a point in Nightly 20 at the moment. It is SOLID if you don't have the data disconnect issue with certain GApps. But the release is old (from before Thanksgiving), so the Weekly4 and Neutrino are newer in terms of commits. So I don't really see much of a point in sitting between Ba2tF and Weekly4 - especially with the data disconnect issue (if you are unlucky enough to have it).
Hope that helps

Thank you VERY much for the in-depth explanations!
So you actually dont have any 3g/4g connections? I think there was some sort of tweak by the dev of Neutrino posted on one of the end pages to attempt to fix the data.
The previous poster has no wifi issue but you do, hmm I guess its not applicable to EVERY device. Or wiredpirate is just lucky haha
I may be leaning to batf right now. What do you mean by "so the Weekly4 and Neutrino are newer in terms of commits" ?

+1 for Redpill-Hybrid has been the most stable for me

I have noticed that cm7 roms and the ones alike have less wifi coverage than blur roms. Don't know if it's just me, it has happened to me with same radio and kernel, just different rom.

I use CM7-ICS MOD without any bugs, but only after clear install and no TiBu system restore.
I can also reccomand Red-Pill, which was my previous rom, and was stable as hell.

[POLL] Which ICS rom do you use?

Title is self-explanatory, which do you use and why?

Currently playing with Deck's latest PB9. Tried AOKP Build28. Both need some patching on the edges to get things working, but Deck has HWA.

I use miui its nice, almost lol

AOKP M4 has Bern treating me great. Haven't tries decks yet, but the HWA sounds enticing. But for reliability and customization, I've been hanging with AOKP. Haven't tried drews since p6, I think.

I feel the same way, I love drew and decks work, but I need all my customization options! I just wish HWA would get into AOKP, and I wouldn't ever really complain much, everything else works well, and oh my the battery life.
Slackin scott, where is your vote?

I use jared's ICS because its stable. Playing with gummy because its also stable. I'd recommend both roms.

I've been using Decks since PB4. I tried AOKP milestone 4, but couldn't get GAPPS to work. I use Miui ICS, but it was very laggy compared to Decks.
I've run all the ICS on a slot in Boot Manger Pro.

There was a Gapps file that was posted in the Boot Manager forums. ie:init2winit.
It would work with AOKP's ICS. Not sure why the regular Gapps wouldn't work though.
I've also flashed all of them in to BM slots.
For ICS Roms I've played with some of JTG's early builds, Gummy, Drew's, AOKP Milestone 4, And now Deck's.
I ran PB5 for a day and now I'm planning to flash PB9 in the next day or so.
Deck's stuff looks good. All of the Dev's are making great strides with ICS though.

I am using Gummy's ICS on my phone. So far it is stable and I have had no problems other than some apps needing to be updated to work properly. The camera and camcorder does have some minor glitches, but I can overlook them. I really like all of the tweaks that comes with the ROM, you can set up the phone how you like. It is a great stable ICS ROM to use as your daily driver.

I was not aware of that. Of course, I'm not registered on their forum, which I hardly browse at it too.
I do find decks works in regards to lack of lag and smoothness. I do shut off all animations, so all the eye candy is wasted on me. I did find PB5 was significant less stable on Tiamat ICS kernal than the stock; I've read, but don't know for certain, that the stock kernal is Tiamat based anyway. Although, deck's has some of the same issues found on all ICS builds. Although, the camera preview has been fixed; camera still a little glitchy. WiFi seems to need a few tweaks.
What I do like, OnLive and their Universal blue tooth controller, work well.
on a side note, I'm not all that thrilled with Nova Launcher. I'm more partial to Launcher Pro with Folder Organizer. I guess I've been on Windows too long, and like to group things together, yet keep my panes clean looking.
In the end, all the ICS roms are making strides.

I've used MIUI ICS, because ICS doesn't have 4G anyway. It had random reboots, but I didn't see other people with the same problem on the forum so I dunno.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534492

i've used a lot of ics rom's so far (basically all but AOKP and MIUI) and i like gummy so far. No random reboots, really smooth, i wish it had full HWA so i could use chrome, i really like the softkeys, but the keyboard needs to be fixed when you use the softkeys ( half of the bottom row of buttons is gone) and the little blue line on the top bar was gone. i havent used deck's in a while so it might really be improved. the only suggestion i would make for it is to tweak the kernel and the keyboard layout to take off the capacitive buttons and turn off the lights behind them.

AOKP right now, will likely try Decks since there is HWA.

Been running the Gummy port since it was released. Loving it so far. Super speedy and works well. The only problem is lately i'm getting more and more FC's on the stock features (email, music, gallery, file explorer, etc) not sure if it's a flaw in the ROM or a by-product of my meddling. Either way, still a great rom!

Ive used aokp, hmmm yup. Its good.
Ive also used gummy ics. Yup good.
Both have same rom control and pretty smooth. But many apps that i use wont respond or work too slow. Ex NFS hotpursuit.
Now im using PB9 decks-ics. Everything on my apps works now. modern combat 3 is now really smooth.

ICS ROMs

I'm looking for your opinion guys, which ICS ROM is the most complete and stable or simple which ICS ROM are you using...

I have been running the unoffical CM9 by jmztaylor since the first release. Has been the best for my phone at least and very good battery life. You should just try them out and go with the one that your phone has the best results with.

gummy worms is still a valid ics rom but you are gonna be lacking hardware accelleration (hwa) and camera/camcorder can work but also is being reported broken sooo yeah
the lastest of aokp is known for being full of reboots (but as a side note i have only had 1 reboot so far but has some graphical glitches with menu's but nothing to knock it down any so again beware it could be different on your phone) but b33 has been the strongest /most stable but is lacking the camera fix but there is a zip you can flash with it.
jamie has an ics rom with hwa but doesnt have the customization tweaks that you find in aokp but i have had ZERO reboots in my experinces there is a camera fix used in aokp will most likely work for you here to since they are based off the same (correct me if im wrong please)
decks i have little experience with the latest builds so i'll leave someone else to input on that
same iwth cm9 but its been comin to the party a bit later but i hear its stable and on its way to being a good daily rom for most and i think the camera works but no camcorder/panoramic(again correct me if im wrong please i havent run this particular one so im pulling that from memory of reading thread)

I installed the Unofficial CM9 and I was all good until its start freezing and rebooting

Swipers MIUI ICS is amazingly stable.
You can't beat it

I've been using Deck's builds as daily drivers for a while now not quite as many features as AOKP or CM9, but quite stable on my handset. YMMV of course.
With ANY of the ICS ROMs you're looking at feature incomplete alpha or beta level builds. So "stable" is a relative term.

Dark light version 3.5 has been the most stable on my evo, plus its all themed out in black and white.

KWIQ ICS is working for me
ben.nesheim mentioned jamie's rom, that is KWIQ ICS. I was running AOKP all through April and was liking the progress. I think after they added the HWA it got unstable for me on my phone so I ventured out and tried KWIQ. It just worked on my phone giving me everything I needed. I recently added the patch for the camera and now the only two things I am missing are front camera (would like to try Skype again) and 4g. I would be happy enough with this setup if this is all I ever got. I now have Chrome browser and all my apps I care about. I am one happy camper.
And Jamie has commented that he is making progress on an update to be coming out as soon as he feels it is stable.

AOKP here for a few days now. Everything works very well except Hulu and Netflix (haven't tried Youtube yet) and once in a while the camera app stops/freezes for a minute.
Everything else is butter.

In addition to the original question, do any of them have fully functioning camera (front and back) and camcorder?
I tried qwik ICS and it was stupid stable but didn't have working camera.

AoKP, run it on every device I have eexcept the photon cuz that POS is a pain to flash sh!t to so its stock rooted, but I have aokp on my Evo4g, kindle fire, Epic Touch 4g and my dads gNote

I've been using Lithium's MIUI rom and have also tried the Unofficial CM9. The MIUI rom has been stable for me and runs smoother then CM9.

Camera ICS in the Market will give you rear cam up to 8MP and video. None of them have FFC yet

aokp35 has been working great with the ics camera and will try camcorder in a bit

Now that you have been reccomended every ICS rom for the evo. Lol.
My oppinion: Download teamdirt's cm9 and AOKP Milestone 5. (Milestone 5 can be found on the aokp website) Try out both roms, starting with AOKP.
Reason: I work using my phone for GPS and, on average, 15 calls and 25 texts a day. This means that if I flash a rom, it gets the full daily driver test.
That being said, AOKP was smooth, fast, battery efficient, and even easier to use And navigate. My only problem was random hot reboots.
Cm9 was somewhat choppy at times, but comparable to AOKP. NO REBOOTS!
Final verdict: Decks Reloaded. Lol. I couldn't decide so I went back to Gingerbread.
