Install AEMod Custom ROM On Samsung Epic 4G Touch [Guide]

Sprint Epic 4G touch is Samsung Galaxy S II variant for US customers and was able to grab a lot of developer attention following it’s release. We have previously covered rooting method for this phone along with a custom kernel that basically allows overclocking up to a whooping 1.6 GHz. The best part is ClockworkMod Recovery that is flashed on your phone as soon as you root it via ODIN method. After the availability of ClockworkMod Recovery for Epic 4G Touch, ROM developers / chefs can be seen in action and there are a couple of custom ROMs available for this phone already. These custom ROMs are based on stock firmware with less bloatware and other customizations that allow enhanced user experience. Of course lots of users are waiting for CyanogenMod and MIUI, but it will take sometime for these ROM versions to surface for Epic 4G Touch.

AEMod is one such custom ROM that is based on stock firmware but comes with added BusyBox and is custom-ROM-AEMODfully deodexed for optimum user experience. Apart from this, the ROM also boasts of removed bloatware, latest SuperUser app, hacker’s keyboard and CRT OFF animation.
