Noob here wants ICS

I have a Sprint Epic 4G and i really want ICE CREAM SANDWICH! but I never rooted before. Can I get some help please
Model: SPH-D700
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: S700.0.5S.EI22
Kernel: 2.6.35.7

Inb4 Russian nyan cat
You can't get ICS on the epic until it is ported which will be a long while and there probably won't be 4g for a LOoOOOOOOOOOoOoOOOoooNG time.
Shot answer: no ics for a while and if we get it it will take a long time to get stable

where is the Russian cat?

Right now, most of the devs who work on that kind of stuff are working on cm7. After that is official though, we will likely see devs begin work on ics.

oh you can get ICS for this phone right now if you want... It just doesnt have touchscreen support, nor does it have keyboard or anything for that matter. Yeah this phone should probably receive a full update to ICS from samsung because the hardware could certainly handle it but the only real way i see us getting to use anything remotely like ICS is when CM8 comes out and we have full support for Cyanogen its self. I dont think a "stock" ICS rom will ever make it onto this phone because most of the developers will have moved to better phones by the time it will be even possible.
Makes you wish you had a nexus phone or an HTC HD2 right?

Anyone working on an OC kernel for the ICS leak?

Just wondering if anyone is working on an OC kernel for this wonderfully tasty ICS leak we got last night. It runs great without it I can only imagine how it would be with it!

Lol no. We're not superdevs.

I didn't say did anyone have one ready! I'm not crazy enough to think that less than 24 hours after it drops that someone would have something ready!
Was just wondering if someone like da_g was diving in or not.
I would but I've never touched kernel source before and really don't want to brick my newly sticky rocket ;-)

Its probably going to take a kernel source for that. Not sure though.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yeah, you can't modify the kernel without the source to my knowledge. I don't think anyone has been able to reverse engineer a kernel.
That said, there is kernel source available out there. Just not sure if it can be made to work on our phone or not. Thats basically what I'm trying to find out. If someone is trying to work off of existing kernel source or is everyone waiting until the official source for the included kernel becomes available?

I actually had a note for awhile and saw him over there. I was under the impression he was playing both sides of the fence? Thats a shame we lost him, I loved his kernels and they always seemed to come unhumanly fast!

[Q] Vagabond vs. ZEUS?! which is the better ROM??

I know a similar thread already exists but I just needed a more up-to-date opinion considering the ROMs have changed recently. Both ROMs in my opinion are good, but I am having a hard time deciding which one to use. I just recently went from CM7 to F1 Innovations. I've had F1 for a week and hate it. Battery life is horrible, the system is slow, and apps crash. So i was wonder which is better, vagabond or zeus. i know it is up to me but i would love other people's opinions, people who have used the ROMs, know them, and love/hate them. any comment, input, or opinion is greatly appreciated thanks!

That depends on who you ask, and what you are looking for in a ROM...

I see what're you're saying. But don't get me wrong, I meant no bad intent or tone there at all.
The polls can give you the opinion of the majority...and that would be Zeus.
If you wanted my opinion, in the context of the 2 roms you listed, I would also choose Zeus.
Vagabond, as the op stated: poor, light, stockish, spartan.
I'm kinda surprise that it was even compared. If it's okay with you, I will take that as a compliment.
Good luck in your research.

For one, Zeus is not king... its my version of a system I enjoy running with the features I like... Vagabond has its own personality and unique features that Zeus doesnt. Its a fantastic rom also. Its user choice on what you like and what you enjoy, and, what works best for you. Neither rom is better than the other. Period.

Pick my ROM for me! Please!

Im taking the dive and I am going to flash a ROM tonight or tomorrow. Are there any ROMS for the Tmobile SGSII that are better than the Skyrocket ROM's or are the SR Rom's better? BAsically what i want is lag free performance and something that resembles as close so SGSIII as possible. I realize that those are in the works, but some of the SGSIII software is already in use in our Rom's. I await your advice! Some benchmark screenshots would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Embryo 3.2 has a lot of SGSIII items included, including the launcher and S-Voice. I'm happy with it.
Smooth Ice has a GS3 variant as well. Haven't tried this one, but I did run Smooth Ice v3 for a bit and liked it a lot.

which one of those 3 has the most GSIII in it?

Actually its 2 roms I'm receding to smooth ics as well

SkyICS is a solid choice. I also had lots of luck with Embryo.
I personally am looking at team PTSD's latest build of AOKP. It's quite good, but updates very frequently. Probably not a good starter rom.

Nexusmod gb 4.3
Stable. Fast. Great battery life.
Been my fallback rom for a long time.
I know it doesn't have the sgs3 bits, but I personally have no use for them.

Nexusmod is by far the best!! I've tried about 5 different roms and I will and always come back to this one. If you try this, you will not want to try anything else. Matter of fact, maybe you should try others first, just so you can find out for yourself that it's the best.

EDIT: There is another Nexusmod ICS thread. My bad.

These are all good suggestions, just remember I want as much of the SGSIII as possible.

Gathering opinions on galaxy s iii themed rom

So I have a cm9 rom I made for my own use and I have enjoyed it so much that I am thinking of releasing it for everyone else to use as well. It is a touchwiz 5 themed rom based on the cm9 unofficial release with the following goodies:
Speed and battery tweaks
Touchwiz 5 launcher
Touchwiz theme
Touchwiz widgets
S-Voice app
Google Now
All sgs3 system media
Sgs3 wallpapers
Xloud and beats mod
And much more that I probably forgot about........
As it states I am just wanting to see who would be interested in it as I dont want it to be a wasted effort. Also you guys are more then welcone to let me know what else you would like included or changed. Thanks in advanced for the support and im looking forward to see your guys opinions.

Sure, I'd try it. I liked Remics for that very reason, despite others hate of the touchwiz, I like the feel of it better than any other launcher out there. Remics has a random reboot problem though, so I'd like to try yours.

Yep I'd definitely give it a try.

I think the allshare app is just like wifi calling it is heavily dependant upon proprietary Samsung things that are built into the stock kernel and stock rom. Not saying its impossible but highly unlikely it will work on a custom rom that is not stock based.

I didn't find SVoice that usefull for the amount of space it takes up and uninstalled it on Remics.
If you're good with the Aroma installed, you can setup a customized install to choose what to install or not install. I like the ones that let you keep your kernel, modem, etc.
