This is not my ROM or thread. I am simply posting this here so members of this forum have access to it. SamsungEpicForums will not be providing support for this rom (however I'm running it myself and it works quite well minus a few very minor bugs)
This is a "release candidate" so it is "mostly" bug free. Visit the official Cyanogenmod website for more info/updates. All credit to it's developers.
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
THIS IS NOT SAMSUNG TOUCHWIZ AND NEVER WILL BE. DO NOT ASK ABOUT IT. THANK YOU.

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

The current buglist:- Native tethering does not work with WiMAX. Enabling either WiFi or USB tether will disconnect WiMAX until tether is turned off. Third-party wifi tethering apps are known to work.
- WiMAX Toggle Widget is Broken.
Attempting to use it may cause the notification bar to force-close. You can disable the widget entirely in the CyanogenMod Settings menu.
WiMAX can be managed through the Wireless & Networks system setting screen.
NOTE: There is a third-party WiMAX Toggle Widget on the Android Market. It is not free, but has been reported to work on NS4G. Work toward implementing a functioning native toggle widget is ongoing.
New Changes:- WiMAX (uberpinguin, mkasick, wispoffates)
- Fixed camcorder media profiles for smoother recording and better auto white balance. Also adds "HD" profile. (Decad3nce)
- Torch toggle button in PowerWidget (noobnl)
- New WiFi driver from Aries kernel. Fixes native WiFi Hotspot and toggle button.
