Install EE03 Gingerbread ROM On Samsung Epic 4G

Earlier we had covered a Gingerbread leak for the Epic 4G, but that was based on the ED12 build. Now we have the EE03 build available which  addresses a lot of issues found in the older ED12 firmware. The newer EE03 firmware is customized by k0nane and the Android Creative Syndicate team. More on the ROM and how to install it on your Epic 4G, after the break.

The ROM is nowhere near the final release as of yet, however it’s stable and an important upgrade from the ED12 ROM because of the fixes it brings.

4G, GPS, charging, temperature sensor, all appear to be functioning normally. This release is by no means the final release and is being worked on as we speak to bring further improvement into it.

So if you want to take this ROM up for a spin on your phone, here’s how to do it.
