a quick google got me to this:

Which part do you not understand?

Thanks gTen. I didn't get that page on my search. It's an easy-to-use solution. I'm going to do it. Wish I had a 64G SD card option instead of just a 32G.

my complaints with the epic are battery and speed. It takes me forever to get the camera app open. Also, no matter what "battery mods" I've done or turned on/off data, I never haver gotten more than a few hours out of the phone. At least not consistently. There might have been a couple days where I went the whole day without charging it, but then the next day under the sames conditions, I get 2hrs.

The other day, I drove the kid to school and me to work with my phone in my pocket. My ipad was streaming a podcast to my stereo, at the screen on for most of the drive with maps up tracking my route, etc...
when I got to work, the epic had gone from 100% to 58%
my iPad had gone from 96% to 90%.

For the best available camera solution, revaaron, try Camera ZOOM FX at the Play store. It's 40% off this week and, for a couple of bucks, it turns the Epic camera into a winner.

I'm fine on battery life. What rom are you using? I've been on Sleeper EL30 since it came out and I can get a full day's use and be at 50-60% remaining when I go to bed. People on The People's Rom (FC09)report similar battery joy. Both these roms have something built in that pushes the Epic into deep sleep mode when you're not actively using it. (Also, if your battery-life issue is recent, Sprint's network reconstruction has been making data connectivity wiggy area by area and causing battery drain...)

I've been using fc09 since it came out. I've had the same exact battery issue the entire time I've had this phone with any ROM. To get through a full day shooting a festival, I go through 4 batteries.

Since I hear you liked CM9 maybe you should try AOKP? I never tried it myself but from what I heard about AOKP is its like CM9 but more tweaked out and offers more options for saving battery built right into the rom.
