i used to use cm7 and miui before. cm7 is lightweight rom, smooth and has excellent battery life. but it is lack of killer feature such as in its sms functionality, the smart dialer and etc. of course you can always download apps from market for that functions but it takes forever to load those apps on startup.

so i moved to miui, which i am currently running with bulletproof miui rom. it is rich with functionality, ridiculously-convenient-built in-features and interfaces, but consume more battery compared to cm7 unless you made certain tweak on its OC/UC. but its interface lacks of originality because it is obviously a mimic of iOS. but so far i m happy using miui.

i want to try sense based rom, but from what i learned, sense based is laggy. i miss sense interface though. look clean.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skinnyveganboy:
OK, if you think cm7 is boring (and I agree) I suggest you give MexDroid a spin. It was my DD for quite some time. The only reason it's not anymore is because I found Bulletproof MIUI. but I'm sure you've already tried MIUI. if not. Tun4f1sh's Bulletproof is the ONLY one I recommend.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Karakoram2:
More options would be most welcome I'm sure. I'm trying to figure out how to port roms from hd forums at the moment. The collective's absolution looks pretty sweet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
If you use bootmanager (market app) you can install sense / miui and cyanogen at the same time... Only thing you have to do is seeting up the phonerom as sense (miui and cyanogen based mods run very smooth booting from sdcard)
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Neat, I like that idea. Kinda like having a nand backup without the pain of restoring everytime you want to switch.

I also champion Bulletproof, tun4 and tsubus seem to make sure this Rom stays a top contender. There is also talk of miXdroid Mod which is a miui meXdroid, looking forward to seeing how that one turns out

Ya know what... forget what I said above, if this MixDroid thing happens I'll be happier than a /b/ troll.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whippler:
MIUI is great, iv been runing Bulletproof, it's definitely unique miui whit its virtuos oc controller witch cough my eye. But now i got ICS fever on me, not for the isc gui but some of the features. I stumbled on Galnet MIUI whit ics framework. runing fine, tried it for couple days, and the batterylife seems fine, maybe. Ill stick to this since it seems to work, and hope for updates whit possibly some new ics features.(its still same MIUI ui and functionality)

after we get somewhat working ICS, i will try that a little, and propably get back to MIUI.
[G2 and Desire Z General] whpsnp:
I'm on Bulletproof MIUI at the moment but since the iPhone-esque UI makes my eyes hurt I installed LPP and some icon pack (can't remember the name). That way I still have the looks of Android but can combine with the impressive speed and flow of the Bulletproof MIUI ROM.

CM 7.1 for me lacks a little bit of polish visually (can't wait for CM9!) compared to Sense based ROMs and IMO MIUI offers that. I like Sense but any Sense based ROM I've tried has started to get laggy on me after a while.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bobbytomorow:
Bulletproof MIUI for the win...I also like good old Cyanogen too, but for a nice mix of speed AND looks MIUI is tops for me

Love the look of Sense, but too slow and laggy

in this few days, i have been testing 3 sense 3.5 rom, beatmode, affinity and rcmix.

for someone who has a very sensitive sense like me, i cant stand to wait for the phone to response due to insufficient memory in sense 3.5.

its time to go back to miui bulletproof.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
I have tried many of them. CM and MIUI is cool, I just miss too many features from sense. Sense 3.0 is either laggy or will get laggy after a while. So, I always go back to my Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 NAND backup.

But: question here: why is this draining the battery soooo badly? Apart from this, this could be THE perfect ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] darklordray:
I have tried muiu, mexdroid, htc clay, g-lite, sense 2.0, unity sense and the affinity sense. I keep finding myself going back to the most stable, configurable and updated ROM ILWT CM7 (268).
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
Sense is smooth and polished, but every custom Sense ROM that I have ever flashed is a battery hog, even the Sense 2.1 + 3.0 hybrids.

So my current favorite is G-lite 1.05 - it's like stock + overclocking + better than stock battery life (due to deep sleep)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Flinny:
I like sense and am currently running Virtuous Afinity but I can see me switching to an ASOP build of ICS when it's stable enough :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
Curious to know what you like most about ILWT, especially compared with mexdroid and miui?

[Galaxy S II General] fergusstrachan:
...but after flashing hundreds of times I've never had this problem before. :-)

Flashed one of intratech's frankenstein roms (GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5) and it just stayed on the booting page for seriously more than an hour.

Went back to download mode and flashed the kernel that goes with it (Kernel_I9100XWKJ3.tar.md5) and now I have no recovery mode and no download mode!

I do know how to get into both modes, it just isn't doing it. Instead of going into download or recovery, it just tries to boot as normal, so it's properly stuck.

Not sure Samsung would take kindly to me walking into their service centre with a custom rom etc, what do you reckon?
[Galaxy S II General] leminhnguyen0703:
Try to buy a USB JIG off ebay, plug it in to see if it works
[Galaxy S II General] fergusstrachan:
JUST done that actually lemin, thanks.

I guess if that doesn't work I'll have to take it to be fixed.

Wonder what could have gone wrong with the flashing...
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
Have you tried to remove the battery?
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
Seems all you needed in the first place is a factory reset from recovery, if the phone is trying to boot, it means the boot partition is intact and you are probably not executing the button combination properly.

Hold Volume up and home, then press power, keep holding the buttons until you are in recovery mode, then do a factory reset and reboot, enjoy your phone
[Galaxy S II General] fergusstrachan:
Achilles, you might have thought so, and I wouldn't normally rule out the possibility of me being a dumbass, but really there is no recovery or download mode available. It just doesn't go into either. :-(
[Galaxy S II General] BrandoHD:
You are not being a dumbass, just probably not timing the button presses correctly, if you don't hold those three buttons down until the recovery is actually on the screen, the phone will try to boot normally, talking from experience here

If you are doing this but the phone is still trying to boot normally, then a jig might be the only way to force download mode as you have said that it is trying to boot, so the partitions are intact, a full brick shouldn't boot at all....

Also, I flashed the same ROM, it is not really a custom ROM in the true sense, just a stock ROM with different CSC and MODEM, I really doubt "they" can call that a custom ROM and I doubt they would be able to tell anyway, "it's all stock parts" so long as you didn't flash any custom kernels or anything.

Good Luck.......
[Galaxy S II General] fergusstrachan:
Just my humour achilles. :-)

Trust me, as sure as I am about putting one foot in front of the other to walk, I know how to get this baby into download/recovery mode, and it aint playing.

Jig, then service centre it is. Until then, have to use the Galaxy Tab a la Dom Joly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vinnypel2ella:
Ok so I currently have the nexus s 4g, i am due for an upgrade. I was just curious whether you guys think i should upgrade to the epic 4g touch, or wait for a better phone down the line (galaxy nexus). These are my thoughts:

The epic 4g touch, in many ways IMO, is the best phone out on the market now. I have played around with it in the sprint stores and love it. But I have a few questions...I have read that the Epic touch has NFC technology, is this true? Also are there a lot of nice ROMs for it, i have searched the dev section but really theres no way to tell the quality of ROM by just looking at the pictures and posts. Also do you guys think i should save my upgrade for something thats coming down the line? I have googled searched as much as possible to see if there are any new sprint phones coming down the line and i cant seem to find anything that beats out the epic touch, besides the galaxy nexus which is not even confirmed for sprint yet, and no announcment of a WiMax version so im thinking if sprint even gets it it wont be until they get there LTE network up which will be for a while. Gimme Your thoughts...thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
Be patient and wait for the Galaxy Nexus. wait for the news about it, see if they are going to release one for Sprint... if not get the Epic Touch 4g.

No NFC for the epic touch 4g. also, not many roms. development is slow but it will take off with a little more time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blestsol:
I'd wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
First things first, there's always going to be a newer bigger and better phone coming down the line no matter what phone you buy. Even if you buy a phone on launch day there's always something new in the works. That's technology, its constantly evolving. And don't go chasing fairy tales of a Nexus that isn't even announced to be coming to Sprint. Even if it was it would be an LTE device and that's a long time from now.

As for lack of custom Roms the epic touch hasn't been out all that long so there's only a few custom Roms out. But truthfully there's not much that needs changing or modifying to make this phone awesome. Straight out of the box you won't find much to complain about if anything at all. I was asking myself the same questions and I come to the conclusion that the epic touch is definetely worthy of an upgrade and even worthy of keeping for twenty months. Sprint. LTE. is a ways off so by the time that starts rolling out in a timely fashion, you'll be nearing your next upgrade anyway. Go buy the epic touch and give it a try for a few days. I promise you will not want to return it and go back to your current phone. Trust me on that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
The Galaxy Nexus probably won't come for quite a while so if you're anxious for a new device and don't want to leave Sprint, then the Epic Touch will be great. There are some issues such as loss of signal and no NFC included as stated earlier. I came from the original epic and I upgraded to this one since the next Nexus seemed like it would take a while to get to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boneman1:
I was in your situation and decided to go ahead and get the Epic 4G Touch. I haven't had any problems with it at all so far and love the phone. There's lots of development going on for it too if you're into custom ROMs. The Nexus Prime will probably be great, but who knows when we'll see it. Like others have said, there's always going to be something newer on the horizon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LoveisPeace2012:
Get it its a beast by th time you think about it. Newer phones will be out just enjoy the now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
Get it!!!!

I made the jump from the Evo to E4GT and I couldn't be happier.

If you keep waiting for the next best thing, you will never get anything. No one even knows for sure if Sprint is getting the GN

anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Don't get it and makes others not get it

Hi I own one and though the phone is great, the Samsung support is non existent. Also with Samsung you have to buy new phone to get the upgrade to the OS. I am waiting for HTC to announce their next sprint phone like Vigor. My experience with HTC has been much better...The only way Samsung with unlearn what they learnt from Apple is to let their sales get affected. I am telling this to everyone who goes ooh aah over my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
If you are planning to stay with Sprint and not looking to switch carriers, I would say buy it and enjoy it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
I think the phone is great, despite having left mine for ohhh say 30 mins in a steamy bathroom. No water damage signs inside sprint told me (I didnt tell them what happened obviously) but two weeks later after tons of complaining I got a new one and I am happy as a pig in poo. This "smartphone" maybe because it is my first one, but I can't imagine being without it.

When I purchased it was a couple days after I found out that sprint was getting the iphone, and after about two weeks of hard research (it was released in US MID september to the best of my knowledge) so I am looking forward to spending two years with it now. The two weeks (really 10 days because I rigged it up to work and got extra battery that I had sprint credit to my account.

The old phone already had drop marks and stuff, the new one go a TPU treatment right away and steinheil sgp screen protector 24 hours later. This, IMO is the perfect trio. Size of the iphone IMO is better, thats it. The screen on this thing will wow you with pretty much all you look at, it is fast, every iphone person that sees it LOVES it (ICouldGAF after reading jobs bio - ****), precesses fast, battery is nice, feel nice, fit finish nice. I dont want a metal phone, even though when I dropped it a few times, the edges that were worn looked a heck of alot like some sort of metal and it bent like metal in places, I also read it is somewhere (of course cant find link but maybe somewhere on Samsung site proper)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I would get it. I doubt the galaxy nexus is coming to sprint. This is the best phone out for Sprint and will be for a long time.

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] G1-8701:
I would defintely get it, i came from AT&T's Motorola Atrix(the first one) and it was a great device and still is, had it since launch, but i been wanting a Galaxy S phone. So i decided to go into the sprint store and check out the E4gT, and loved it, the phones that i was tryna decided between were the E4gT and the Evo3d, i didn't want the photon cause i don't really like motorla, and the iphone 4s was too high, plus i really don't like iOS(i love mod'n my devices and u really can't do much with iOS), and the Galaxy Nexus is WAAAAAYYYY OVERRATED, sure it's gonna come with ICS but nobody's gonna keep it stock for long, they'll end up throwing a rom over it, and the devs on the E4gT are active and will keep you happy with enough roms(and updates with them), mods, and themes until ICS comes to the E4gT

But back to the topic at hand, i definitely suggest this phone, buy it, give it a few days before u decide to root it to test it out, stay up to date with the forum and if u decide to root, the instructions are super easy and you'll have plenty of help if u get stuck(eventhough some may give u a hard time) but i'll definitely help u if needed just like i was helped.....now GO FOR IT! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Its aight. Once the LOS is fixed (hopefully) it'll be the a great phone to hang on to.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddmatt02:
when its 100% it is an awesome phone and there isnt one out that Id want more, but because of the bugs me and the wife both slightly wish we waited longer to pick these up or got different phones without the bugs this phone has...

Id say wait for samsung to send out the update to fix the phone, then get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] housry23:
I have 3 Sprint phones in my possession right now. This one, the EVO 3D, and the Nexus S 4G. They are all great phones & each has some sort if advantage over the other. The Nexus S, will surely get ICS shortly after the Galaxy Nexus comes out. It is a great little phone. The EVO 3D is a nice phone & with the CM7 alpha on it, it's every bit as fast as the E4GT. HTC has already announced they well be updating it to ICS. The E4GT has a beautiful screen & is fast as hell. It's simple to use, root & also easy to fix if you mess something up from flashing. I would go to the Sprint store & play with these 3 devices & decide for yourself. I don't think Sprint well get the Galaxy Nexus until mid next year. Samsung has not mentioned one that ics is coming to this phone. The others have already said they'll get it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
Sprint has alot more to worry about than making the nexus a priority as their next samsung smartphone offering. They have their hands full with backorders of Epic 4g touches all over. I have been on the phone for a week, try getting one in a rapid fashion when yours malfunctions day 15 - one day after the 14 day trial ends - Jump through hoops. Been a customer since 1997 here....

As far as ICS, I wont hold my breath, what were working with seems well enough, no?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Honestly I would keep the NS4G and find a used ET4G. I traded my nexus for a tab though. Found a ET4G locally for $300 new unopened. Almost wish I had the nexus still just for 1 reason, to play with ICS. I like big phones. Keep the upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipetloudog:
No.

I regret dropping tmo and coming over to sprint bc they launched their gsII variant first. I really dont care what all of you people are going to say after i post this but there really isn't any development for this phone. Yes, people are putting hard work into their ROMS but have you taken a peek at the other gsII development forums? Plus the main reasons i wanted this is:

a. I love the galaxy devices. The vibrant was fantastic for a flash addict, even without gingerbread source. And

b. I wanted a portable high end gaming device that wasnt a psp. Instead i got a soundpool ****ting broken toy.

Maybe when kousch starts being a active member of our forum i might change my opinion but until then i say no. Do not buy the epic 4g touch.

Inb4 build your own rom.

Also, if kondik [cyanogen] is a software engineer for samsung now, why cant we ask kousch to contact him so he can fix this soundpool issue or even release source? Samsung said he was not banned from his "side project" so would having him help us breach the apache liscense that android is under? I just dont get why we have half assed source when every other gsII is light years ahead of us [i understand the gsm issue, thats not the question]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
This isn't a bad idea. If you can get one for $300, it's probably worth the $100 to keep your upgrade and not extend your contract. Heck, people on Verizon are paying $300 for their phones WITH an upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] duced:
I would have to say that the samsung epic touch is one of the best phones i have used out of the android phones i have own. The stock rom is pretty tight like it is not much to improve. I would say just root so you can use wifi. I like the gingerbread lock screen where you ca just slide to answer or put the phone on vibrate.

step 2: put rom on phone

step 3:need cwm, now should i do this by flashing the community kernal? or is there a recommended method?

"You've been slapped in the face with the shovel of logic"

EDIT: RaYmAn just posted a 1 click root for any TF101 in development. To all you haters who couldn't hate on him enough.........hahahahaha STFU

EDIT2: The rules are selectively enforced here and its become more about being nice than about developers. Unless your one of the favored ones with mods as fanbois. Then you can say whatever you want. Hopefully xda will recover from this silly "Why can't we all just get along" stupidity and go back to supporting real developers and not kangers.
