We will have it very soon also, but do what you want. I have an Evo also, and its pretty cool, but too slow for me.. I can't stand waiting 2 minutes for a phone to boot up. lol

Cool story bro... have fun

My evo is currently running cm7 and my epic feels better running syndicate frozen. We may have a few devs but the work they/i do is amazing and there leaps over anything I've seen for the evo so far.
This is just my opinion your welcome to do you. Its just a matter of personal preference.

Welcome to midNIGHT ROM v1.0.​

We need to get carrier IQ infected ROM's out of circulation....
Thank you for your support of my first Epic Touch 4G...
PLEASE remember to thank k0nane for pulling the carrier IQ out.
The current midNIGHT ROM v2.0 w/carrier IQ removed can be found here

Yeah sorry about that. Photon had to go back in order to get the ET4G. The Photon was kind of a headache and I'm much more familiar with the Galaxy S. The Photon wasn't bad just unfamiliar territory for me and Sprint let me swap out.
Not as much of a learning curve for me here and I that's good cause I don't have a great deal of time
Woohoo, nice to see you working on some goodness for us!

What is the time table looking like, Rob? Do we have an ETA or are we playing it by ear for now? I'd love some better battery life and Midnight has always been a sipper so I'm hyped. =)

[Q] EpicBlur?

Is there any devs out there that would be able to port this or even make a better one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345118
I have been looking if there was any type of MotoBlur ROM for the Epic 4g but since i couldn't find one I figured I'd ask.
Someone was looking into it before, but he's busy on 3 other projects right now. Sense, MIUI, and ICS.

More power to those that like MotoBlur.
I have a personal distaste for the overlay, so much so I have refused to accept a work phone b/c they are all Motorola's. Ha ha.
MIUI is beast too but no 4g. thats the only thing that works in my area. too bad china doesnt have 4g...

I have a feeling samsungs official ics build for our phone will be very similar to this.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
GSM =/= CDMA. Unfortunately.
If we get an ICS leak, then devs would probably be more willing to work on it from there. But Touchwiz ICS looks terrible. I'd make an AOSP theme for it if it looked like that upon release.
Omg, smh, wth,... Y r people still posting about devs porting ics. This is days in a row Aaaahhhhhhh b patient. close thread pls.

Came from evo 3d

sup peeps to make a long story short my 3d thought it could walk on water like Jesus did and come to find out it was a fail fml ........so sprint sent me a epic touch. Im knew to the whole Samsung galaxy s thing but I'm pretty sure I will get the hang of it specially with the Odin thing but my question is what's a good stable ROM with no bugs decent battery life and no lag? I wanna start this experience off right!!

Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.

Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].
Working for sprint doesn't mean you know shiz, people brick only if they don't follow directions

Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.
Alright fellas come on now this how you show a new guy what the epic touch family is about lol naw but seriously I understand where you both are coming from and I've seen product around here a lot so I know he wouldn't steer me wrong but I see where yall coming from and thanks

Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.

I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.

Whatever happened to CM7?

CM7 brings back bad memories for this community. People keep asking about it like twice a week too.
Bubby and that who what when where why. Guy apparently ripped people off and that was about the end of CM7 on the E4GT. CM9 took focus and CM10 is dividing it a little now.

I believe the source is still there. Not sure how hard it would be but with GB source being available for this phone if someone wanted they could compile it. I'm sure it would get some love. There is always people out there that like to run older builds for fun. Hell I saw cupcake being built for one phone. Can't remember which but I thought it would be pretty cool to try it.
