No cyanogen of any variety... YET. It is definitely in the works. Also should be getting ICS at some point according to Samsung.
That said, this phone is awesome even running stock Gingerbread. It is incredibly fast, the screen is amazing and I think it is far and away the best android phone you can get on Sprint. It even gives the Verizon Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. I came from the Epic 4G and have not had a moments regret.

CM9 isn't out at all yet for our phone, but there is a WORKING CM7 Kang for our phone, which has very few bugs left to work out. It'll be picked up for nightlies soon enough, then CM9 work will begin.
An ICS leak came out today that works with our phone, but no data/wifi/phone calls/etc... because of the kernel. Probably a little while out on this one, but it's coming for sure. Sprint and Samsung have already confirmed this phone WILL get ICS.
As of now, Blazer ROM is the absolute best in my opinion. Been running it since version 1.2 and it's now on 3.4. It's updated consistently, "blaz"ingly smooth & the creator PhantomHacker is a very active member in our community.
^ Plus ICS theme & a few others
So is touch wiz an unforgiving whore or is it easy to get rid of?
I heard that you can't make kernels with out source. Are the ics or gb source out?

Aside from very minor cosmetic tweaks to the framework the vast majority of what is known as 'touchwiz' can be gotten around by installing an alternate launcher...once rooted you can just delete the apk and be done with the mess.
After coming from HTC devices I mortally feared the fail that was TW. Come to find out that this version of TW is actually pretty goddamned good. It's not thrilling, it doesn't scale with screen density changes and the aesthetic choices leave much to be desired (ugly garish icons, page-dots, app drawer button at the right side and seems unmovable). But it's not much more intrusive than a launcher and some native launcher widgets.....and is seriously extremely smooth as hell though and worth consideration--and I love ADWex and LP.
Source has been released for both...it's all in progress. The CM7 kang is my daily driver (and hauls ass) and last I heard agrabren was going to be working with the CM7 kang developer on CM9.
...and so far as not being able to make a kernel without source, umm, perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but, I didn't know there was any other way to make a kernel.

I like Touchwiz 4.0. Very well thought out. I definitely like it over vanilla and Sense.
It's simple, like vanilla, it's buttery smooth (gpu accelerated), and it has extra neat little things like notifications on lockscreen, swiping left/right (message/call default) in Contacts. Etc...
I also like TW4.0, its actually nice. There's a good selection of ROM's available, and definitely potential in the works, just takes time. We have some great developers doing awesome things.
roms are great and getting better, meaning more roms keep coming

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to finally bring you the Evervolv series of ROM's. (THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL) Its is a port. That's all.
This rom would not be possible without the CM team, so i give them props any time i can.
What is not working:
Wifi
Wimax
First off:
You will need ClockworkMod 4.1.0.4 to flash this rom (uses ext4 partitioning) - You can find this here Also, this rom, as of this moment is only for the Nexus S 4G, NS coming soon.
Second: This rom was not created by me, all credit goes to preludedrew and the evervolv team. All i did is create a build for us NS and NS4G users. Also for Screenshots, check out Evervolv.com!
Now:
Download the latest from here.
Make sure to do a full wipe. Also, flash Google Apps here.
RSVP....
looking forward to it

Sorry i wasnt specific, this is ONLY for the ns4g.
So I just flashed, everything is looking great! I love the bootanimation
Out of habbit I flashed Matr1x kernel immediately after the ROM. What kernel came with the ROM? The GRJ22 OTA one?
Wow this is really nice! Great job on this. I forgot how awesome Evervolv is
Thanks, ill upload an update in a bit.
sorry to be ignorant, but seeing as ive never heard of this rom. mind spilling out some of the features?

My favorite is the Evolver settings. You get the ability to show/hide clock, change lockscreen, change battery indicator, change layout of launcher (Evervolv, Gingerbread, or Froyo), add/remove transparency from notification drop down, show/hide different things from status bar like gps icon. There's a ton more like different transitions. Also has Theme Chooser

The first devices (besides the Nexus S, which you can already get from Koush’s section on ROM Manager) that we’ll have ready will mostly likely be devices based on OMAP4, MSM8660/7X30, and Exynos
Also, if you scroll down and look at the comments:

Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
I have to agree. I am new to the E4GT but not to modding. I came from the USCC Mesmerize and it had CM7 and a pretty much fully functional ICS ROM. I was so used to AOSP that the thought of Touchwiz made me shiver. I do have to say that the Dev's for this phone have done some amazing things with Touchwiz though. Running Calkulins ROM and am truly amazed at how smooth it is. I would love to see an AOSP selection for this phone. If its anything like the Mesmerize then CM7 would be the logical choice to get working as it would provide the Dev's and solid MTD base to do ICS or CM9 off of. any way just my thoughts on the subject. I am very pleased with the Modding community for this phone. Looks like you all have some extremely talented Dev's. I look forward to what they release in the future.

Touchwiz is a launcher...it can be deleted, easily. I don't get the hate on touchwiz. I don't like it, so, I delete it and use another launcher. Its not like Sense.
I love cyanogen too, but, touchwiz has nothing to do with why.

I personay feel that Touchwiz is OK. I just prefer a more pure Google experience. Now Touchwiz on the Galaxy S was horrible but this new Touchwiz seems pretty decent. But I welcome the chance to get an AOSP ROM on this thing and see what its truely capable of.

I'm looking forward to CM9. My last 3 phones had CM7 on them. Getting a little stale. At least running the nightly roms kept me interested. I got rid of my EVO at nightly 260ish. Damn that's a lot builds! I just flashed the ones people gave rave reviews of.

I'm not convinced that it's anything more than a launcher. Different things in the settings screens are a reflection of the rom so far as I understand it.
However I am open to being wrong if you have information to the contrary.

The biggest problem is that there is no aosp kernel right now that works. So once we have that there is a better chance at getting aosp roms.

Well there's supposedly a build of CM7 Kang that works quite well on the SGSIIE4GT with some mod work. It was also sent to one of our main devs, Viper boy, and I'm pretty sure he and his team are ripping that thing apart line by line to make it work the best it can. They like to release finished products and they literally just got it yesterday... so.. idk hopefully soon!!!

Hold up: Who exactly did you "clarify" that with? I'm only curious because I was the one who sent that kanged Rom to Viperboy, and it was MOST DEFINITELY NOT an ICS Rom when I sent him the link to my Dropbox. When, exactly, did it morph from a tired CM7 build into an ICS ROM?
Am I now known as an "underground smuggler" of ICS ROMs??

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.

CM9 is still going to be under development in general for a decent period of time. Ours is very obviously still under development.
Op you just need to find out where to find cm9. Maybe goo? Goo.im under some developers. Remember one of them is helping with kernels?

The latest CM9 nightly is from 2 nights ago. Its still being worked on. The cm10 general repo is still very young. I am sure in a few months most development will shift to cm10 from cm9. But I wouldn't consider it abandoned just yet.

9 is still in rc status officially. For our device its in alpha. A kernel is being worked on to for cm10 but there's still a lot of work to be done.
Cm9 development is the current focus so we can be officially supported by cm. With that goal in mind, why would you want to start over when its so close?
