Hey man, I understand your fear of delving into this stuff as I was in your place not too long ago. Trust me when I say though that it is not as hard as you might think. Allow me to provide you a few links to where to start:

Oneclickrootandrecovery

This will get you root and install clockwork recovery mod going on your phone.

Now, you need to decide if you want to run a custom rom or just want to be able to add themes and such.

I'm going to assume you just want themes (because if you want a custom rom you'd just be getting my opinion and if you want that you can see my sig =D) so here is a link to the stock de-odexed DK28 rom this will allow you to apply themes and use the stock AOSP lock screen.

ACS DK28 ROM

I would suggest you try these things before putting your phone in someone elses hands. =) Good luck either way though man!
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Hey Kenvan. No, not really themes, but a more workable phone. When I did the DK28 upgrade it took out my camera and everything associated with it. I was told these newer roms could fix this issue. A new theme would be cool, but it's not my main focus. I was able to root the phone, but not too sure I am comfortable doing the flash and rom type of stuff. Will I lose my info on the phone? I was able to back everything up with Ti backup, but hoping I don't lose everything. Thanks for responding. Plus I hear some rom's are better than others. I just feel more comfortable paying someone to do it, or teach me hands on so that it's done correctly.

[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
No problem at all man, as I said I was literally in your shoes a few months ago and was deathly afraid of damaging my phone. If you are rooted and have CWM, then do this (I understand its an awkward way to hold your phone): Press the volume up, volume down, and camera buttons at the same time then (continuing to hold those ones) press the power button.

This should boot you into CWM. If you're worried about your data perform what is called a NANDROID backup. Using the volume rocker, scroll down to Backup and Restore and select it with the camera button. Again with the volume rocker, scroll down to Back up and select with camera button again. Don't remember off the top of my head if there will be a confirmation screen but if there is, select yes. Let it run its thing and then select Reboot system Now.

You now have a backup! You said you have Titanium backup and thats great. Make sure you update it before you do this next step.

If you want a stable ROM that works well, I suggest Nebula. The guy who makes it is a working professional who uses his ROM for his work phone and as such needs it to function. Follow the link in my signature to download the rom (it'll be a long download) and put it on your SD card.

I am also a huge fan of amosher's gingerbread theme, and I've attached an image of my screen so you can see what it looks like (ignore my dock, it is custom using launcherpro). If you like it download that from the link in my signature as well and again put it on your SD card.

Now do the boot into CWM thing I told you to do before. Select Install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard then find the Nebula rom zip on your SD card and select it. Now this time it WILL ask you to confirm and click yes. As a side note this will wipe your application data but as long as you have a titanium back up of it, you're golden.

Again, allow it to do its thing. Part way through the install your screen will go black and then some blue text that won't really be fit onto the screen will show up and chances are you'll panic. Don't, its fine. Give it a few seconds and you'll be good.

If you want to use Nebula alone or just want to see it before making a decision about using the gingerbread theme, use the Go Back and reboot system now. Otherwise, do the install from sdcard process again with the gingerbread theme on your sdcard. This time it will the screen will not go black so don't worry that it doesn't.

Now, when you boot this time its going to be a long boot. You're going to worry "Is it doing anything? Oh gosh, did I brick my phone? Oh no, oh no, oh no." Don't fear. It just takes some time to boot up after flashing a new rom. And there is a quick(ish) guide to flashing =)
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Ok, bear with me. I have to go into work right now, but will pm you when I get back. Thanks so much for the help, and I will pick your brain when I get back.

Thanks again

[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
You don't need to hold the volume up to get to cwm. It's just volume down, camera, and power.
[Epic 4G General] Koadic:
If your your phone is already on and booted up, then you need to also hold the volume up to initiate the reboot process, otherwise if your phone is off, then you are correct.

Vol Up + Camera + Power = Reboot

Vol Up + Vol Down + Camera + Power = Reboot into Recovery

Vol Down + Camera + Power = Boot into Recovery (from phone off)

[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Hey guys, ok back on the scene. Ok, I well look though Kenvan's link. I am still very hesitant about trying to do this. Also will these newer roms help with my camera issue? It also effects the bar code scanner, so I don't know if a rom will fix these issues. Also by reading some posts, what's the best rom's to go with? As someone stated, thanks for helping me out, much appreciated.

I will be here all day, so will do this today if I can.

Mike
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
As to your camera issue, I cannot offer any support because I have only ever had one camera issue and that was the known black and white preview bug in CM6. I can say that on Nebula Rom my camera has been working great and I've been able to use the barcode scanner a few times.

Again, I do understand your hesitance but let me assure you: Bricking your phone is REALLY HARD TO DO. And I mean REALLY hard to do unless you start trying experimental things like the ext4 file system hack. The thing to remember is that as long as your phone turns on (doesn't have to boot past the samsung screen or even less that that somestimes) you're not bricked and its easily fixable.

Finally, my suggestion for a ROM would be Nebula simply because I love its simplicity and stability. Its not the fastest but it is quick and it just works.
[Epic 4G General] mazspeed:
Ok cool, is there a step by step way or video to explain how to do this properly? Are all roms the same as far as installing them?

Mike
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
There are some videos but I don't know any of them instead I can recommend you go to irc.freenode.net type in a username and join #samsung-epic

I'm in there and not doing anything so I can help you out step by step.

I went on there and didn't see you but got some advice. I'm going to look it over after the OU game. Will be back on here tonight.

Any help would be great

[Streak 5 General] MaxTS:
You can install any app by using astro file manager from market. Just brouse your sd card

and run .apk file. It will give you the option to install file. I am with rogers too and I would suggest you the last Dell's official release.

Is it possible to put wm 6.5 & HTC sense on hd7?? since the skyscape app. are not available for wp7 plus the interface of wp7 is silly.

hd7 is better than hd2 in design,display,camera & speed but the drawback is the OS...plz help im confused wt to buy
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
No one has ever ported winmo to hd7, and no one is working on it. So, its a no.

Another waste of thread
[HD7 General] Hammett11:
Why don't you just buy/keep the HD2?
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Everything this guy just listed as an improvement and greater quality on the HD7 is a result of the OS, yet he wants to bring it down and move back to a slower, inferior OS... You won't keep the speed and effectiveness on WinMo, sorry, that is all due to the better OS.
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
considering the hd7 and the hd2 share most of the same hardware, any improvements are strictly because of the new OS which you would kill by putting winmo on it.

This OS is hardware accelerated for the snapdragon chip and gpu, that is what makes it shine.

Hi and Happy New Year

I hope someone can help me. I updated to the new official 2.2.1. Reinstalled all the apps. That took an evening and half a day. Problem I have is, I can't reply to an incoming txt msg. I compose the msg and then when I send it T=the msg bubble goes grey and says 'failed'.

I can compose a new msg in a new thread and send it ok, but I can't reply to a thread that has incoming msg. I have to start a new thread or use the one that did send. Its very annoying. I'm on T Mobile, my mms setting are up to date , they sent me new ones.

I am totally stuck for ideas now apart from factory resetting but that would mean I am back to square 1 again. This is spoiling my party plans lol. Can anyone suggest what I should do please?

Hi I didn't remove them I just did a factory reset after I upgraded the ROM. This lag is getting worse, its more like a freeze now. It freezes in swype now the buttons go blue and stick there while I wait for the lag to stop.

The only thing I think it could be is an app thats causing it as my friends have no trouble with theirs. Anybody else fiding the same??

I'm using the screen saver from eBay, UK seller, mentioned above. It was about $10 (2 pcs) and worth it. Covers the entire screen, doesn't affect the touch responsivity, and have a good feeling to touch. On the other hand, it is glossy, and collects fingerprints. (and of course it does not cover the glossy black plastic frame of the folio)

I would recommend it to everyone.

[Vibrant Android Development] pongothemagnificent:
This is the internal alpha of our team's last effort, first of all its an alpha build, so dont expect it to be a day to day use rom, theres a lot of bugs/issues so many its useless to post them here lol, main issues that pretty much halted the project were these two:

1.Phone Service crashing on wcdma bands.

2.Htc lockscreen call gets delayed by 5min or more.

No one on the team manage to fix these two and so everything just went to a stop cause of this, sorry if people got disappointed but we all tried our best,with these been said please follow this rules after downloading the internal alpha:

1.Do not report bugs

2.Do not make post like "its laggy omfg" "my raindeer dint come for xmas cause of this ****ty rom!!" "dad grounded me cause of downloading romporn" "oh mah gawd bugxor rom no work bull**** ahhhh!" really we dont care at this point.

3.Dont flame us because we dint deliver a working rom...

Anyways download it try it, and if you feel like you can fix it then please do so, thats why we decided to release it, so that maybe someone out there can fix it, supposedly theres another team porting sense to the SGS devices, personally i haven't seen it, also if theres indeed one there assholes, for never contacting us or sharing ideas with us, i mean dont we all want the same thing?? but hey maybe they grabbed one of our alpha builds, and work't of that, idk and at this point i dont care, so anyways enjoy the rom.

Working stuff:

1.wifi

2.bluetooth(sort off..)

3.audio

4.sdcards

5.GPS(device goes nuts, dont ask why)

6.Charging

7.Hardware/soft keys

8.Restarting the device from power of menu.

Not working:

1.camera

2.phone service

3.HTC usb menu (can be fixed with a script made by dexter, and smali to some jar's)

4.Turning of the device

5.HTC's hibernate mode

6.Lockscreen( pressing power to bring the phone from standby will not get a lockscreen after like 5min, plug the device to usb cable and it should bring the lockscreen up)

7.Other things i might have forgotten.

Credits, in no specific order!

Whosdaman, for bringing everyone together.

Dexter_NLB, for fixing almost all the hardware on the rom(awesome job bro)

kaik_343, for fixing/helping me on the captivate port( appreciate all your help bro)
