UBER NOOB QUESTION, yes i know.
As the title suggests, I have no idea what phone I have lol.
Got it through sprint as Galaxy SII. Well I google that and it does NOT look like my phone. My phone looks more like the "Epic 4G Touch". Then I thought that just MAYBE they are the same phone.
BUT
What makes things more confusing is that there are different forums here for each phone, and I am not sure if I should be looking at the Galaxy SII forums OR Epic 4g Touch!?
If you got it from Sprint and its a GS2 ... you're in the right forums

Epic 4g touch= sprint sgs 2. So yeah, you should use the epic 4g touch forums.

Thanks for not flaming me to hell lol.
I wanted to make sure I was looking at the right stuff such as ROMs, kernels, scripts, and themes for the right phone. Now I have peace of mind and can root and flash away!!
Thanks!

That's actually a very important question to ask if you didn't know. Some Epic Touch users tried flashing a different SGS2's ICS build and got all screwed up

He actually ASKED before flashing...

newer phones arent coming with flash stock. so if you want flash you need to find the apk. if you arent smart enough to know where to get the flash apk you dont belong on this forum.

Someone has a temper today! Just posting a link isn't too hard, isn't that easier than being a ****?
First off, the OP never said they wanted the flash apk. They wanted to know how flash preformed on the Optimus G. All the other posters talked about it performing on other phones. I gave a little insight about flash not being on newer phones and that you would have to find the apk. Yes saying that if you don't know how to find it then you shouldn't be on here might have been harsh. But it sounds like your are a little butt hurt. It's ok. There is a thing called the search button that usually will provide anyone with a multitude of answers. I could provide a link but, couldn't you have done the same thing rather than coming on here and calling names? Or maybe it's because you yourself don't know how to find it.

If you aren't smart enough to know that asking the original question doesn't necessarily mean I don't know the apk can be found through a search, then you don't belong. ..anywhere
Yknow it is possible someone had gone through the trouble of installing the apk since this phone has been out longer on carriers other than Sprint.
Grow up, sheesh.
For all the grownups.
I installed and tested... and as usual - it works ok. I only really use it for one site anyway- tiltview.com

Easiest way to root is to use Odin and install your custom recovery and then the team epic root zip. Just make sure you install all the drivers for your phone first

Thanks. Those one click programs usually scare me more than the step by step methods.
I'm not worried about which is easier, just if there is a preffered method. I believe I have found my answer after reading FAQ again and watching the videos linked from it.

I know I'm late to the party, but here's my two cents:
As far as I'm aware, all of the various guides (and toolkits) actually use the same method (although, the toolkit does have a tendency to bork the wifi). It's just really the packaging they come in. Whenever I recommend a guide to people, I always link this guide by Skunk Ape. It's intuitive and explains each step quite well, with pictures and clear instructions. I've never had someone come back to me asking for clarification after reading that guide.
Hope you enjoy your rooted phone!
Gotta say.....so far these s3 forums seem really friendly. Thanks for all the advice guys.....really digging this phone and forum so far
If this was the evo 4g forum and I started a thread like this some dude with 20 posts would have already flamed me and called me a noob......hahaha

Welcome to the Sprint forums! We're generally nice people. The only time you really see the ugly side is if you flash an international Rom to your phone (which bricks it, btw). That's when the sarcasm comes out.
Just stick to Roms made for our phones (d2spr, not i9300) and you'll be fine!
So after researching roms and reading/.watching reviews, it seems that blazer is closest to stock minus all the bloat/samsung stuff that is loaded by default. Is this correct, or would u guys recommend a different rom for a STOCK experience +tweaks/-bloat.
I swear if I bought an htc phone I wouldn't be quite as clueless.

Everyone on here would probably recommend a different rom. I'm currently running msg&chubbz rom. It's pretty stock, does have a lot of features from gs4. Does have "minit settings" which allow you to change battery icon/color, clock color/location, and some others, but besides these changes its pretty stock. I was clueless to s-offing my brothers evo lte, but I got it eventually. HTC phones are a little more confusing to most people.

For a truly stock ROM you can check out freezas thread. He has all the latest Sprint updates and so forth. You can't get any closer to stock than that. I also recommend TPR. They are really great over there.

For me it was 3 years ago after a google search when i "bricked" my new LG Optimus 2X (hey, it was the 1st dual core when it came out...) trying to update it... didn't take long to solve that
My defy is my computer. & with any computer u want all u can get from it been on since 2010 and xda is still my #1 go to for any & all info i may need. & XDA motivates me to get a new phone to try other mods/techniques not available/applicable for my defy. XDA ROCKS!!!
I came across xda while looking for fun things to do with my Omnia... wow... that was awhile ago
I meandered in while looking for android developer forums on Google. <3 XDA only I have just now been getting around since I no longer have all the "Noob" Limits on my account. Good Feature but its a pain in the ass if you have a question you need asked.

Almost all searches to most of my queries on Google that where related to Android (and some times Symbian back in the day) usually leaded here... I'd pop in to lurk every once in a while to find out about rumours and more specialized apps quite often over the years.... Eventually one day I really felt the urge to reply to a couple of threads and decided to register (as well as asking a couple of questions of my own. ) That's it in a nutshell.

I use to have G2 and got a Flex right before the G2 got KitKat since I got a deal on it. The Flex development seems like it's dead already or never really took off. I'm just wondering if the G3 development will be as good as G2? LG is making it harder to unlock the bootloader right?

No, the most powerful recognized developers in their monthly meeting in a secret location decided that the G3 will be ignored and all mentioning will lead to a permaban.
There will be no development for the G3!
Like the phone never existed.
It name equals to an iPhone in these parts.
....You can't predict those things
However the G3 is not a worth bump for most of the ppl in here.
Would say you should have stayed with the G2 in the first place.
But my best guess G3 will have a better future in here as the current Flex. Hopefully not as good G2 because I do not plan to go to the G3

LoL. ^ I never keep any phone more then 6 months to a year if that. I'm a phone junkie and that's what I do plus I have Jump to use. I'll probably just do the same thing I did last year G2 to Flex. This year G3 to Flex 2. Or maybe even a iPhone 6. Haha
