Custom roms based on ec05 are well worth the wait

??? So let me understand, EC05 is been out for what, all of a few hours? And you want an honest opinion of whether its worth it?
I'd say flip a coin, go with that...

Just wanted to apologize if I sounded like a d!ck in my previous post. It makes me upset when I see others reply like that, so it is not good for me to do it.
What I should of said, is give it some time and people will be able to give you an honest answer, but my guess is that it is worth it. I don't see how it would be possible for Samsung and Sprint to take an additional four months and make it worse, but you never know.
I'm on stock ec05 right now and rooted and everything is fine so far. Sprint I'd isn't all that cool really. Its neat but not amazing.
When the custom roms come out we will be rocking

And the custom roms are what I am waiting for. I've been using Syndicate Frozen for awhile now. I am loving what it has done to my phone. Fast, responsive, getting nearly two days of use off a battery with over 3 hours of screen on time. That is impressive compared to what I used to get.
I've only been running the EC05 modem for a few days, so I cannot comment on whether that improves anything.

I've been runnning Syndicate Frozen EXT4 EC05, and am loving it. I've had my Epic for about 2 weeks now. Soon as I pulled it out the box i rooted it and went threw a few roms, till I came across Syndicate Frozen. The other ROM i tried were still cool but Syndicate Frozen is simple and fast.

Hands down, best Android phone I've ever had! It's better than I expected
The s3 is the first phone that I have not rushed to root and rom. I see no problems with it stock or any lack of features. I'm sure I will root sooner or later but this phone is seriously the top android phone released to date.

Yes, this is the first phone that I've been pleased with performance out of the box, and I even, dare I say it, LIKE TOUCHWIZ! I did root it, but only to use adfree, lol, that's the silliest reason I've ever rooted a phone for, but Samsungs are so easy to return to stock & T mobile never checks the binary flash counyso I'm not worried. I hate ads that are in apps! When we do get an AOSP rom ill flash then, but as crazy as it sounds, it better be as fast as touchwiz or ill be going back to stock, haha. Samsung hit the nail on the head with this one, and touchwiz has alot of convenient features in it. Imagine if they would've rolled it out with vanilla android, and the added motion control, and other Samsung apps that are pretty cool? If samsung makes this year's nexus, it's gonna be off the hook with hardware like this!
Worked like a charm.
I picked up my Verizon pre-order today and am super happy with it. It's a great upgrade over my old Epic 4G (and the bump from wimax to lte speeds is worth the extra monthly cost of the carrier switch)
I've always purchased the galaxy series year after year, and this time Samsung has delivered with stock performance! Though I also like the new touchwiz, it's more "complete" than other launchers

it is a nice phone... i want to try the free dropbox method, i'm not rooted yet... but thank you soo much!!! i can't wait to try it... i'll report back on thread if it works or not thanks again!!
How long do you think it will be until there are ROMs for the LG G2 on Verizon and the other carriers?
It is a little disheartening that there is hardly anything going on with this phone. One would think that the fastest smartphone in the world would get more attention than this.
Anyway, I am going to root tonight so that'll do for now. I'm really looking forward to AOSP and Cyanogenmod for the G2.
This is the best phone by far that I have ever owned! I've had all the latest and greatest since Android came out. LG really did a great job with the user interface too. I couldn't be happier!

Man, you gotta chill out. The phones been out a week. Were lucky to even have root! With locked bootloaders, its going to take some time before anything happens, IF anything happens with it at all. The proper people are working on the issue.
Breath.
Relax.
Drink a beer.
Given time, roms will come. Use and abuse your phone until that point.

If you really think the interface is great and couldn't be happier, why the rush on new roms? I'm rather content at the moment, myself, but that might change when LG starts lagging with their android updates.

I agree, I'm pretty cool with the phone for now. But if you're impatient like myself, go ahead and root and remove bloatware, and see how close you can come to stock through that. I was able to get 50+ hours of battery time on my LG G2 ending today through a bunch of tweaks, so that was exciting! :good: :laugh:
Guys, please take this to the general or Q&A section, you are making me excited about someone releasing something and it is just this chatter, it looks like someone has posted when I come here and I see this conversation, OP, please a ask mod to move your lively thread, Thanks.

Are you able to remove the quick toggles in the status bar through "bloatware removal"? I know a lot of the status bar stuff is part of system, but was thinking maybe removing a few .apk's will get rid of some of it.

Exactly. If people would stop bashing other phones and actually read development on other devices, it'd be a better understanding of what's going on or has already been going on.

Right, like they have a workarounds for the s4 using bootstrap right? People have been flashing custom roms (just not on MF3, from what I know) So since this has root, will we be able to flash by the same method once it and a few roms are available? I mean the phones awesome now and I'm in no rush but it'd b nice to know

Yeah and before that we had Loki and the boot loader wasn't and still isn't unlocked. It'll probably be a similar exploit but idk. I just know it's possible from having an S4 and I had a G Pro too

Most popular seem to be FireNote and dynamic kk. FireNote seems to be a bit more stable with great speed and battery life. I have been averaging about 1 day 8 hrs with 6-7 hrs of screen on time. Dynamic brings the latest and greatest kit kat as well as some customization. It has some bugs but the developer has been great about updating and fixing bugs very quickly!
FireNote Powered!
I'm running fire note it's flawless
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Firenote is my choice. Best speed stability and long battery life on stock look. My everyday rom in Stock slot.
Alliance is for those who loves to customize. Endless customization possibility and great rom as well. It's in my slot 1.
If you like KK rom, dynamic is the best one out right now but there are a bunch of other great devs are pushing new one that are great as well.
You just have to try it out and see which one suits you best.

I'm on the same boat. On knoxraid KitKat but I don't know if any other roms have inverted (black) app and setting backgrounds. Simply a must have with oled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I've been using Dynamic Kat 1.3 after making the switch from Kn0xraid. So far I really like it. Might try out Fire Note as others are reporting good results.
Not quite the right thread for this request, but is there a mirror link still out there for the latest KnoxRaid add-ons?
Otherwise, I'm in the same boat. Itching to check out other ROMS. Anyone try the new S5 Experience ROM?
Looks promising.

I don't believe the Ron included gps fix but it works fine for most of the time. I would say I drive a lot using my phone as gps and 95% of the time works great. When I have error, I just turn off and on the GPS from quick setting and all works well again.

Thanks everyone for all the input. I think I'm going to give them all a try and see what I like the best. Main concern is battery life, speed and reliability.
I have tried the other KK roms and hate to say it but went back to Knoxraid.... Love the theme, and TW themes available in it too much.
Now to figure out how to build my own rom out of it and make it the way I want it.
I'm in the same boat as the OP and others here. But I went back to stock. Reason is because I got the new Gear 2 watch and saw many ROMs weren't working as well because they had features stripped from it such as Samsung Apps.
Any custom ROMs good with the Gear 2 watches?

Just Google Samsung app.apk download that and it will update to the latest, Gear will be fine after that with any ROM I believe.

I miss CleanRom. For those that had CleanRom and have moved on, what ROM is most like Scott's CleanRom?
Honestly, none ... And I'm not saying that to be mean or "bash" any of the other developers on here. I just don't think there's many out there that strive for a true stock/bare bones ROM. CleanROM was simple, to the point and rock solid and I've personally yet to find it's equal ... I hope someone can prove me wrong.
But with that being said there are a plethora of great options for us out there! I've moved on to Eclipse and am thoroughly enjoying the AOSP look/feel again!

I actually flashed BajaRom last weekend. I'm getting some lag and a couple of issues. I never had an issue with your rom. I'd rather have a spruced up rom and let me install what customizations I want.

J/K ... I understand why you left. And (as I've said with the Galaxy Nexus) this will be my last Samsung device ... I really think Sammy has (radio) issues with CDMA!! they got it right with the Note 2, but I've had similar issues that I had with the GNex - granted not as bad, but issues nonetheless.

Dang... my phone before the Note 3 was the Gnex. The radio was terrible!!! My Note 3 is perfect though.
BajaROM was nice but i always went back to CleanROM.
Cleanrom and Eclipse was the roms I use to run. Now just Eclipse. Nobody can take a phone and write code for a rom like @nitroglycerine33. Sometimes I think his work is entirely over looked.
The aosp code he puts in his roms is amazing.
Nitro is the real deal.
I ran Eclipse on previous phones.
Loving CleanROM as well
Been swapping between Eclipse and CleanROM over the last few months
