You need to flash an AOSP rom like CM6.

Yeah but I heard cm6 doesn't support 4g which I use. Thanks though. Any others?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Then use launcher pro.. Until a really good rom uses 4g.. if you can't find any, than look around I'm sure you'll find one

What exactly is launcher pro and how do i use it? Sorry I'm sort of new to this I came from an iphone 4. less than 2 days with the evo so far.

Search it on the market, or use ADW Launcher, as far as using it goes, you'll figure it out quite easily by yourself.
Edit: when you press the home button it'll ask if you wanna use Sense or whichever other launcher you have, press the check box, then choose the launcher you want.

Really? Just browse through this thread to see how awesome you can make your phone look with Launcher Pro.

You don't need cm6 u can use snt sence based rom and if u search calk. Has a flashable.zip that u can use to remove sence but not have any of the setbacks of cm6 ie. No 4g....and then use launcherpro and u can customize it to basically look any way u want..the best in my opinion. Then just go to settings/ applications/manage applications and "clear defaults" on the home screen. And use launcherpro....pm me for any questions if u have them.

Can I use calk or whatever to remove sense on my stock rom? And also how would I go about installing this?

CM6.1 is the ONLY option~! 4G is a wothless battery hog!

Yeah but if I'm paying 10 dollars extra a month for it I'm going to use it.

You're going to pay that much anyways. You might as well save yourself the god-awful battery life for some moderately faster data speeds.

I've been using LauncherPro Plus on my unrooted (but probably not for much longer) Evo. Take some time to go through all the settings and look around the dev's web site. It's worth the investment of time.

Spoken like someone who doesn't realize 4G in Atlanta is still in testing/beta phase and won't be fully available until Dec/Jan. I'm in Baltimore and we are another 4G test city. I can download at speeds that rival Comcast cable modems in this area with minor battery life differences. In fact, my 4G tethering is my only source of home internet connection right now and I'm happy with it.
So, to answer the OP... Go to Sprint and look at their lists of testing cities. If you aren't in one of them you can't use 4G anyway so you can switch to CM6.1
if you are in a 4G city, then I suggest either the Virus-Rom (10/27 edition) with LauncherPro or a ROM that is designed to minimize sense:

Help me keep my Epic!

I've had my Epic for about a few days now and I'm starting to feel like I made the wrong choice. I chose mostly on the hardware, than the software. The battery drains like the phone has a hole in it, the TW UI is just bad and I can't use the regular launcher. I'm sure this phone would be better with pure android. So what should I do? ROMs, Kernals, etc. Thanks in advance!

Seriously though, did you try launcher pro or adw or any other launcher yet? Get a task killer, estrongs is the one I use. Use it. Move all apps that don't have a widget to the sd card.. custom roms IMO are still too buggy..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

There's definitely a nice selection of Kernels and ROM's available, take a look at the development section, read through some of the features of the different ones available, and see if you find one you'd like to try.
In the end, whether you keep the phone or return it for a Nexus, is all up to you... none of us can really answer this for you, because we all have different wants and needs in our phones.
And fwiw, software side of this phone can be easily modified/customized, so if you're happy with the hardware, then perhaps you should look into the software customization.

Well the kernel has tweaks in it that can save battery... I'd go with syndicate rom frozen with the genocide 1.1 kernel... pretty good combo for me, I can have my screen on for about 4hrs and I'm sure if you use the phone less you can get a few days out of it

A good tip to remember...if you do go the custom ROM route, some have no journaling. If you choose one of those, make sure you power down phone completely and don't let battery die or you will get force closes out the arse. If this my be an issue for you, get a ROM with journal on or flash the journal on mod after flashing the ROM.

Syndicate Rom. It's absolutely awesome and very few bugs with almost all features working that I have noticed. Turns the Epic into the EPIC!!!!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Go with SyndicateROM Frozen. The 1.1 version needs updating ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680 ) on the ClockworkMod. The 1.2 version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544 ) requires the latest ClockworkMod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999 ). You need to flash modem to EC05 with Odin.
What I did was flashing modem to EC05, put the first CWM on the phone, then installed SynROM Frozen 1.1. After that, I updated the CWM, then updated to 1.2. I think the 1.2 is not full package (?) and upgrade from the 1.1 (?). Rodderik will update the 1.2 version with latest CWM. You can either wait for that update or continue with the steps that I did toward the 1.2 version.
Edit - SynROM Frozen 1.1 comes with ClockworkMod included. When you get it installed, just update the ClockworkMod (what I did was using the flash method with Odin) then upgrade to 1.2 version.

You had it partially right. Hardware is paramount simply because you can replace the software with better software but you can't replace what drives it. Root your phone with the new purple CWM and then give the Syndicate rom a try. What kernel you choose for it depends on your phone since they each take to certain kernels differently. I am personally using the second to last version of the Genocide kernel and voltage control with great results.
Think of the rom as a car's body that you can choose to option and the kernel as its engine.
I prefer Go Launcher over Launcher Pro and Handcent over all the others available.
If you want incredible battery life download an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX.
Make sure to enable journaling too.

I thought the same thing when I first started using tw... If your taking about the launcher I won't argue. But the rest of tw is pretty good. Built in task manager that clears ram, the dialer is dope. Contacts list is very functional, U can swype right on a name to call our left to txt. Also easy to navigate if u have alot of contacts. Hold your finger on the right in portrait mode to jump through letters, than if, lets say you know alot of T's when u get to T, slide your finger to the left and you can sort by the second letter (feel free to say thanks). If your in to facebook the buddies now and whatever other things are built in to the tw launcher (though if u change launchers you lose those widgets) activities in contacts links your fb friends, the... Does... And u can... With... And so on and so on and so on... theres alot to learn that u wrong in a few days... I've had mine since release day and I just found out... Yesterday... long story short, u only get one chance to trade ur phone in. Use the whole 30 days before u decide
P.s. u can change your screen brightness by long pressing the notification bar and sliding left to right. But u gotta have auto brightness turned off (thanks ↓)

Because Cyanogenmod.

I love it's speed and stability, less force closing, and AOSP goodness. I also like the voicemail customization and using with googlevoice, not like sprint's stupid voicemail menu in settings where you have to pay for transcribed voicemails. CM7 how do I love you, let me count the ways... I've actually not tried cm7 the last experience I had with cyanogen was cm6 on my hero, but wow what a difference that made.

All of the above.

I love its speed, options, and a lot more. But I don't like the lack of 4G, so I don't use it as a daily driver.

wouldn't download from my phone either, I had to do it from my computer.

I've been running this for a couple days now. And its freaking awesome. One of the more original roms that are around. I really like the toggles in the notification. Took me a minute to find them tho. I flashed this twice before I figured it out. I haven't had any issues at all. Except for the occasional browser crash but I've got that with every ics rom. To download on your phone try requesting desktop page, or use opera mobile. I'm hanging on to this one for a while. If only I could get the on screen buttons.

I typically use Pete's ROMs, because I like the vanilla experience. I've heard some good things about this ROM though, so I'm considering it. How "vanilla" is it?
As a gauge, I think CM7 is far too "bloated". No hate, just personal preference.

i9023 - SLCD GSM sold in some European countries.
