So I owned the epic, played with Midnight, played with ACS and finally said **** it and went with a NS4g... I haven't touch an epic in a few months now and was wondering if you guys have CM7 yet, or any other good AOSP-like alternatives.
My mom and sister are still using epics and are sick of the sprint UI and bloat and I was looking to help them out by loading something different no their phone.
Any suggestions?
Well no aosp yet.... but syndicate rom frozen is veryy battery efficient and fast... and I would use genocide with it, atleast untill vision kernel comes out

Also, ACS just stated a new AOSP project. It looks promising, though not at a usable stage, yet.

Everything is pretty much the same since you left. Development on every rom has progressed but the selection and pros/cons of each one are about the same.

Report what happened to ACS. It's more likely a flashing issue.

I've been using Genocide/SRF with almost no problems. The only FCs I had were from flashing an Email patch from Midnight on top of Syndicate. As long as I didn't try to mix ROMs, I was fine.
Are any devs working on cooking up more ec05 roms? Reason being is tht I feel like we are never going 2 see a official GB rom anytime soon with the way samsung Bull sh*ts everyone. I feel we should have a ec05 rom with everything completely loaded on it with the lastest tweaks an mods. A ec05 rom thts bascially on steroids lol with everything we can possibly get on it.

From what I see, v6 supercharger is exactly like autokiller from the market (The memory optimizer, not an actual task killer).

Oh, I don't feel that way at all. I think most of them are well put together but each has its own special quality. As far as us never getting Gingerbread...I guess these leaks are for no reason right? Lol

Exactly. A rom all devs help develope to finalize EC05.

I'm still on bml because its more reliable and every thing works the way it's supposed to. I tried the cm7 rom and I lasted about 2 days and quickly realized that it was very limited in flexibility and function.
Granted, it was very smooth. I know it's the future but its still very beta. Just read all the mtd threads, and you'll see how some basic things are buggy or not working.
I'm a little disappointed that some of the devs are abandoning all ei22 bml support. Especially since official gingerbread isn't even fully mature yet.
I am happy that at least TW will be supported in MTD, that's a major plus for me.
What are your thoughts?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I totally agree with you on this. I am trying to keep up on the MTD TW threads to see where the future is going but will remain probably on Legendary 2.1 with Shadowkernel for the immediate future because my phone is so freaking awesome right now!
As soon as Bbelos puts up 1.04 you guys should grab it! It will be phenomenal! All the speed you are used to and great voodoo color defaults (most will not need voodoo control app).
Well I happen to be the one that always says you'll come back. I have since moved to cm7 because earthbound put out the cm7 kernel I missed the first time I moved. I do have a few bugs I'm dealing with atm but nothing to hard to workaround. To be honest I don't see much improvment from mtd to bml or than the space and file system. As of now its just not too different however once the devs start to tear it apart and see how stuff works is when things will start to pick up. However they must be getting somewhere since there has been multiple updates on cm7 since to mtd move compared to bml.

Mtd is awesome!!!!!!!
Im running tortel1210's TWMTD rom and its amazing with Samurai3.3.1MTD and Ii really can see somewhat of a difference. On BML my phone was not able to run certain programs like chainfire correctly. Games like Trainz,SHADOWGUN, and GTA 3 would not play. After switching to MTD these games run smooth as ever and I have seen change in the behavior of many apps I have downloaded. MTD in my opinion will save the Epic from discontinuation of development on it. Mabye ports like working sense can finally be achieved from this new propietary system
Imho mtd is waay more reliable. I haven't got any of the dreaded gingerbread corruption.

Wow! Don't sugar coat it Xopher...how do you really feel? LOL. A lot of people said that about EXT4 vs. RFS but there are still those that prefer RFS. I am not ready for the MTD jump yet but may check it out in the months to come.

I love MTD. Between CM7, marcusant V2 and the Stock MTD ROM, I see no reason to switch back to BML.

You should just take the jump once Earthbound comes out with his updated cm kernel so far cm7 has been everything I wanted it to be. Much faster game wise than two I don't quite understand it but its amazingly fast. Try it at least. I have yet to regret it.

CM9, wasn't for me, so I'm currently using CM7-which I love. BUT, the nightlies still haven't fixed the volume whenever you make outgoing calls and I don't like the Camera/video recorder. Since those two things haven't been fixed (And its driving me crazy) I was wondering what you guys think is a very good EL30 Rom? I'm thinking about switching to one but I don't want to sacrifice battery life and how snappy CM7 is. Just interested in seeing what you guys recommend that I should try.
There is only like 3. Just try them all and see what is best for YOU. Each phone and user is different.

Im still trying to figure out what else I can do to my epic...i got cm9 alpha 4 on it....but besides that idk where else to go..
Before I switched over to CM9, I was on Clean GB. Before that, it was SleeperROM, but I remember finding something that I didn't like too much. I'm not putting it down or anything. Its just that one of my apps wasn't working or the camera. I forgot exactly what it was, but they're both good. I can't say about the other one. I liked Clean GB a lot. Give it a try.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
tried CM7, tried MIUI (had to add a launcher becuase it was driving me crazy without one...lol) and tried CleanGB...
all very nice and unique in their own ways...
in the end, went back to Legendary Rom v2.2, after converting it from BML to MTD format....
the creators have made the install of all the roms idiot proof, it's fun to just backup/wipe as many times as you want and try them all out
SleeperRom or CleanGB are both great Roms.
And Marcusant's v4 will be out soon too. It is in beta now.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm using cleangb and really like it. But I noticed that even stock el30 will do just we fine. No more ciq so its a good rom really. Bonus is, everything works.
Thanks for all of the replies! I'm trying CleanGB and the battery life is....ok. I guess I got spoiled with CM7 battery. I'm just glad everything works....Will give Marcusant's new one a try once released. May even try SleeperRom. Anybody on Thunderhawk right now?

maybe cuz these phones are gsm ones. and closer to the international one.
These are not official Samsung builds, these are builds by Team ICSSGS. They are basically pure vanilla builds with no additional software or modifications, except for a few to get them to work on the listed devices. Thus no Touchwiz.. IIRC, Team ICSSGS began this project in November and have had these 3 phones with ICS since January.
nvm already been stated.
If your on XDA then you know we have ICS, so who cares? Even better it's cm9. Even better Marcusant keeps kanging other ICS based builds through it.

in what ways would this help or benefit us just curious is all? is it less aggresive TW so that we have more RAM? but seeing how we already have AOSP isn't that much smaller than TW already?
Honestly, I don't think the ram in the epic is enough for CM9, it just barely gets by IMO, so tw? Sorry but no, too bloated. Even the processor has a hard time keeping up with cm9, all that TW bloat would cripple it.
And yes, I still have my epic, and I carry it around everywhere. Just permanently in airplane mode lol.
