Been looking for a new ROM for your Samsung Epic Touch 4G on Sprint, well how about a little bit of MIUI love for you? It appears as though an official build has been released for the device, and it is now available for your downloading pleasure. For those unfamiliar, MIUI is a custom ROM that is quite similar in many ways to iOS and provides a rather unique Android experience. Rooted and ready to flash? If so hit the link below for download links and full information about the ROM.

Following a slew of other phones late last week, the CyanogenMod team has just added nightly build support for three new devices — Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Pro and Xperia Active, as well the LG Thrill 4G — AT&T’s version of the Optimus 3D. Nightly builds of the popular custom ROM are built every day by the team’s army of robots, giving advanced users the change to try out the very latest untested versions, bugs and all. They’re also an important milestone towards a device being fully supported by CM.

If you’ve ever wanted to build a ROM yourself from scratch and happen to love CyanogenMod, there’s a new tool that you might want to have a look at — the CyanogenMod compiler. What it does is build CM for your phone, without you having to do anything more than enter a number or two. Once you set up your computer (the instructions even cover that part), you can download a set of scripts that do all the hard work for you. When it’s all said and done, you’ll have a nice little package you can flash via recovery, and have your own home-brewed CyanogenMod.

Everywhere you look you see Ice Cream Sandwich being ported to one phone or another. Anytime there’s a version update to AOSP, it’s fun to be an Android geek. And every time it happens, and our great community of developers start porting it over to existing phones we start seeing apps that just aren’t working well — even our favorite apps. So what to do when faced with a situation where an app you need or want badly is misbehaving? It’s a bit different situation when a build is hacked together versus an official update, like we’re seeing now with Ice Cream Sandwich. Here’s what I would recommend:

HTC has released kernel sources for the Rezound, Explorer, and the EVO Shift 4G update for developers to have a play with. In addition, they have let loose the full Desire Gingerbread update for developers and users alike. The kernel source won’t be as useful to the average user as it will be for folks who hack away at building their own kernels and custom ROMs, but in the end it’s us users who get the most benefit — we all know custom builds rock.

The HTC Thunderbolt has been quite a doozy for developers, we saw it take quite a while for the CyanogenMod team to get working data and unfortunately it seems all developers are facing the same issues. Getting the 3G / 4G LTE to work on custom ROM’s has not been an easy task, but that hasn’t stopped anyone from trying.

HTC has made the Gingerbread kernel source for the EVO Shift 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, and Droid Incredible available for download on their developer center website. As always, unless you’re a kernel developer or ROM chef, this won’t do too much for you — other than build anticipation for the awesome new flashables that will be coming soon for these three.

As we explained yesterday, now that the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK has been released, we’re about to see a deluge of SDK-based ROM ports. We’re not going to cover them all here, but will will cover the first to come out of the Android Central Forums. Beezy’s been hard at work, and you’ll soon be able to enjoy the fruits of his SDK labor on the Nexus S 4G. Things are very much still a work in progress, but you’ll soon be able to be the first on your block to say you have some form of ICS on your phone.
