I know this has been asked over and over again! - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have a SGS2 Epic Touch 4G.
I need my phone for my business, I’m a computer hack well I don’t do that for a living or maybe I do..lol!
I need a stable ROM were almost everything works, I need to tether my laptop to my phone so I can VPN to my clients (I do have PDANET which I bought and works just fine for me).
I need the phone for eMail, messaging and oh yeah phone calls to work all the time.
I love tweaks just like the rest of you the more the better!
I just flashed Calkulin’s ICS 1.6 which seems very stable after 3 days but lacks tweaks.
So after this long intro which build do you think would be best for me?

I wonder if you can install kobridge's tweaks on Calkulin's ROM. You might check out his thread, it could be what you're looking for.
See if this is any help

I did a whole thing on this issue back when I first bought this phone last september. If you have a headset that has a button to pause music and answer the phone then its a well maybe not a big thing but it is a thing that always bugged me! Thanks for the reply!

Blu Kuban is what all the cool kids use, and it's super versatile. It's really stable, customizable and has built in tweaks. Rujelus22 constantly updates it so that it's running in top form. Could be just what you're looking for.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm pretty happy with Calkulins.e4gt.2.rom.v1.6. It seems very stable and so far everything works plus after a few charges the battery life is pretty good. I installed Apex Launcher and it tweaks everything!:victory:

You can't go wrong with Calkulin's work losing him to another phone/carrier was a real loss for the E4GT community.

[MOD] Skyrocket ROMS on Hercules- This covers stock Samsung ROMS

Just Thought id share. The skyrocket roms work on our phone too. Just flashed the Alien ROM just to see. Everything worked fine, granted there was some att crap in wifi settings that is useless to us, but at least we know we can use their stuff too. I also flashed jugs kernel with the rom as Im sure the kernel is different, but maybe not. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Oh, they just got an ota to 2.3.6 yesterday, ill post the system dump here in a few. Hopefully the devs will move to that base.
*I thought I'd throw a zip similar to what they have together. I think this zip will do the trick. Give it a shot and let me know if auto rotate is still borked. I dont think it will be but I have CM7 setup and working audio so I dont want to ruin that Let me know and Ill fix issues if there is any.
Conversion
*NOTE: This is for Samsung ROMS only. Do not try it on CM7 or anything aosp.
ooooo this is interesting.....hopefully they get some good devs

By the way, the Alien ROM for the skyrocket kicks ass on our phone. I flashed it with whatever kernel it comes with and I've noticed a reduction in the stutter.
It does have a an issue with our accelerometer it seems though.

Fastest Setup I've ever experienced

Hey guys and gals-
Just thought I'd share with you something I'm really excited about. I've been flashing pretty much everything that has come out over recent weeks, and even months. I just was on CM9 build 3.1, which was incredible, but unfinished. I thought it could be my daily, but it started to go into airplane mode and lose mobile data randomly, so I had to restore. After doing so, I feel the need to share with you a setup that I am blown away by. It is:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3.6)
FB 21 Modem (Steady's newest release)
EL29 Kernel (I know some might be upset it's not the newest available, but go with me here)
Everything is just SO ridiculously snappy, I can't believe what I have been missing. Since the "about phone" only has Gingerbread.EL29 in it and not the rom's developer, I can't be certain about the specific ROM I used but I'm fairly certain it's Blazer.
Anyway, enough of the rant. I suggest those who need a break from flashing all the newest things give this combo a try and let me know if you have a similarly enjoyable experience!
Out of curiosity, how long have you been on this setup?
Surely one of the [email protected] here will chime and tell you of a better way to be certain who's kernel you're using? I could be wrong...
Ill check it out now. If nothing else it will take my mind off the fact that I'm jones'n so hard for CM9 Alpha 4, so why not.
Any particular flash order? ...flash this combo all in one CWM session, or reboot in-between? ...etc. Any additional details you can provide would be helpful. I'm bored atm anyway.
Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately like I said, this was a restore which ended up keeping my FB21 Modem with EL29 Kernel. So I don't know the recommended way to flash, but if I were to do it on my own I would probably say format all, blazer EL29 ROM (with kernel), and then this morning is when I actually ODIN'd the FB21 modem, so probably boot up, turn off, enter ODIN download mode, and do that last.

I ran this for a few days before going to the FB21 Leaked ICS ROM from Calk. It is very nice.
I ran the fb 21 modem and everything was really awesome. except gps. gps sucked miserably. when I was using fb 15 it worked fine so I have since gone back to it.

Another good sign. I think I need to stop typing and start flashing.
So to be clear FB modems work fine with Gingerbread ROMs? No issues flashing? I was kinda on the fence about it. Im waiting for a stable ICS ROM.
Nevermind flashed it anyway on Blend 2.6.2 ROM. No problems.
Edit, weird LOS issues moved back to EL29.

In that case, your sig needs updating. Lol j/k. Were you using FB21 in combination with Blazer 4.0 and EL29, like the OP? Just curious...
Yes, no issues. A great improvement, actually.
For reference, here is a screenshot of my home screen. Note the status bar....can't recall exactly which ROM this is from but it's pretty distinguishable. My favorite thus far.

Ics Rom needed.

I'm looking for a decent Ics Rom without the annoying problems. Such as sms not sounding HTC IME keyboard crashing. Can someone suggest a Ics Rom that can be a good daily driver. I would appreciate that thanks.
Sent from the official iPhone killer
Seeing as how its not officially released, and all of the ICS Roms are either leaks, or "ALPHA" your probably out of luck unless you magically come up with the source for the kernel and fix LOS, and the vibration intesity.
I guess I was being a little hopeful. Anyword on an official release?

I use FC05 as a daily driver and I have absolutely zero problems. My GPS works, notifications works, 4g works, battery lasts most of the day, EVERYTHING works fine. Don't listen to those panzies complaining... they'd start crying if their lattes were made with whole milk rather than skim.
The reason I'm making this statement is because this rom is a good daily driver, but it obviously can use a little work (that's why its not an official release). But its mostly minuscule. You shouldn't have any problems. Just make sure you lock in your gps before you flashing your new rom.

I can agree with that. If you flash any stock FC05 (odex or deodex) or newer all of the main functions like phone, mms, email, apps, etc they all work. At this point you really have to hunt to find any issues... they are minuscule. I haven't messed with any of the custom ROMs yet but I am sure Mijj's, Calkulin's, Venum's, Maddoggin's, Agat's are working well if they are FC05 based or newer

It know it's probably just for you personal fullfillment but any plans to create a thread in the development forum? I have a feeling quite a few people would be interested. I for one at least would love to see future builds. :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing too that the status of HWA and Butter are basically dependent on Evervolv. So, those parts of your builds will probably correlate with Evervolv's?
Thanks again, I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Nope. I've already stripped out a lot of things I don't use from the build that I ran today and plan to keep it that way. Drk-hd is working on CM10 looking at his github and I'm sure he'll do a better job than I can do.

Correct. Basically everything that doesn't work in any other rom doesn't work here either. The only thing broken that does work in the others (to my knowledge) is voice search (it never stops listening to you).
Great, thanks for the info and for sharing your build.
I'll just patiently await Drk_HD's builds.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda app-developers app
I've got a stupid noob for you about your CM10 build. If I wanted to build my own from the CM source and I followed Drk-hd's instructions in his github, I'm not clear how to incorporate the Evervolv inc code. I see a line where he grabs his github directory for the inc. I think the line he refers to as finishing setting up the repo. Should I replace his with the respective evervolv repo?
sorry, might be a dumb question but I'm new to the whole Android source code thing. Just looking to make my own builds so I don't have to wait for everyone else's.
Thanks for any help you might share.

Albinoman's Jelly Bean ROM boots and runs already. It doesn't have HWA, so the animations are a little slow, but overall, performance is pretty quick. All of the main features work just fine, including Google Now. The only big issue afaik is the non-working camera.
BTW, the Dinc is only 2+ years old (released end of April, 2010), but still very impressive that our old phone can still run the latest Android OS.

Albinoman's Jelly Bean ROM boots and runs already. It doesn't have HWA, so the animations are a little slow, but overall, performance is pretty quick. All of the main features work just fine, including Google Now. The only big issue afaik is the non-working camera.

Yeah you're right. I was going to wait for facebook to work and the screens to be a little smoother, but after writing that last e-mail I just called Verizon and turned it on. It's a backup phone.

The Evervolv guys got this working and I updated my CM10 build, pretty zippy. Also voice search is working.

I was under the impression that they had HWA running on another device but not the inc (yet).
Am I wrong about that? Either way, I'm checking out your new build. Thanks for sharing!

****ing a dude, this.. this is dd material.
The only downside ive noticed is the keyboard seems slightly slow -ics style. And the statusbar is slow when in a launcher. Its fast in an app or in the app drawer.
Thanks man! Plus everyone else of course

EV said they had HWA working on the nexus one and the only changes for that lately have been kernel related and the kernel base is the same for the Inc. Considering how much faster and smoother this build has been since using the new kernel changes, I'm assuming that they are related. If there's more to come to gerrit, then hot dog. For now, I'm quite happy with JB on the inc and any additional speed/smoothness that comes will just be the icing on the cake.

FF18 very .... uhh?

Am I the only one whom finds mostly all FF18 builds unresponsive at times? The touch keys don't work randomly... on the latest ota and the leak? Is this kernel related? I hope so.... I find myself constantly trying to find the right one buy no luck... this is perhaps a useless thread but I feel as if this ICS for phone is not even worth it at times

I love AOSP, I'm just not going that route at the moment till kernel is tweaked and modified now that they have source. Plus not all of us like to run aosp.

Why is it that all of these types of things are always categorized as ICS issues when the majority of us dont suffer from often if at all...?
Just make a checklist of consistent variables....

I've had this on both stock and AOSP. I know my way around rooms and completely wipe before every flash even. its been happening to me since the early FF** kernel based builds. Frankly I think Samsung could have worked longer on this but something tells me it was rushed at the end.

Was mostly just flippin $#!t
Ive just been lucky I guess.. Ive got a big lib folder I carry around with me...
Any little problem Ive gotten has been easily remedied, and Ive never once had the weird problems that some get no matter what.
Maybe because mine was assembled in the states? Idk...
I do know that Placebo, placebo you want.. Worst case the flash doesnt take and you have to flash a backuo...
Most likely youll say, "this is a stock kernel?!"
Lol

Fixed for ya.
Agree 100% though.
Sorry to say this but I'm running my super nova rom and haven't had any problems what so ever. Nothing looked what you're describing at all. Any chance the phone is having a hardware factory issue since so many others have experienced the same thing?
No its definitely an ICS issue on certain devices. As it doesn't happen on Gingerbread roms based at all. Ive noticed certain users complain about the issue, maybe its different hardware models? Ill wait a bit to see what the developers cook up.... I'll give your super Nova ROM a try.. once all that fails I'll go get a device exchange LOL

Who said anything about insurance? I'm very good friends with the store manager. He always performs a device exchange as long as it hasnt had water damage. And no, I'm pretty sure the issues I'm having are real as pressing the power button and having the unlock screen process done but captive buttons not work for 5 seconds or more, isn't a bad flash. Even on shubs one click to FF18.
Btw check list done.... settings are always left stock. Phone seems okay unless I can surgicly open it to check on internals lol... ! Yes I'm okay myself.other than my messed up fist from a drunk fist fight.
I've had the same issue with most ICS E4GT roms, and doubt it is anything user related. Don't pay attention to the trolls. I've fully wiped my phone and it made no difference. Hopefully someone can figure it out. It's pretty annoying having to turn the screen on a off twice to get the capacitive buttons working.

The only thing I notice is a bit of lag. I didn't have this issue before but it isn't so horrendous that I wanna destroy it. Ill be switching to a rom after I find one with absolutely no bugs. Oh an can I flash ICS to ICS now?

Thank you, glad I'm not the only one who has this issue. The screen on and off is so far the only solution to this so far...

You can if you use the latest agat kernel built from source but remember not all developers have built in the new safe kernel! So you would always have to odin the kernel if it isnt baked with the ROM.
For reference, here is the link to source built kernel.

Ok heres my input. I believe that its a combination of software and hardware. Remember response time of soft buttons depends on how stable the rom is and also whats running at the time they where pressed. Ok say like you have a few apps it the background running and you turn off your screen. Once the screen come on the buttons may take a second to come on because the screen has more of a priorty than the soft button. Its all in how you look at it. And with apps running it slows that process down greatly because a combination of the proccesor and ram being used. Remember not notice but our soft buttons have a back light and they are press sensitive. So with them working together plus all the other stuff i explained timing would be off. But think about it. Lol is it really a depressing ordeal lol. I actually witness it and continue on without even thinking about it. Sorry for rambling lol
