Is CM9 worth it?

[ebuks97]

Hi everyone. I am thinking of rooting my epic 4g touch and installing cyanogenmod 9 on it and I'm just wondering... is the stock ICS look and feel worth it? If i dont end up liking it, how would I go back to stock FF18 and i can get OTA's from Sprint in the future. Thanks

It was worth it for me, because I was able to play media audio via bluetooth to my Sony car stereo again without an inevitable random reboot and BT disconnect.

Will it be worth it to you? Only you can answer that. It's a very good ROM though, and the current version for our phone is very stable. Also, it's looking like official CM support for our phone is pretty close.

I say give it a go and come to your own conclusion. Going back to stock Touchwiz is as easy as plugging your phone into a PC and running the FF18 Odin One-Click.

With Jay's help (thank you very much for your patients btw), I am on rooted FF18 and it is very nice! Been thinking of going to cm9, but this is running so smooth and great on battery life too!

Thanks guys. I think I'll do it

Cm9 is good to go. Just no visual voicemail.

Actually, there is a version of the Sprint VVM app that works on CM9. You can get a flashable ZIP here: Cyanogenmod Epic Touch: Customization Guide

I personally use Google Voice for visual voicemail. It's integrated nicely, and you can have voicemails emailed to you if you'd like. Youmail is also a nice, popular and free VVM application as well.

Lots of options for VVM!

Yep. Odin can take you anywhere, and it's perfectly safe no matter what you have on your phone at the time.

Will this work on AOKP? Specifically, DK's stable 2?

I don't see why not.
