So I am a VERY inexperienced user with making roms. So I plan on using evo kitchen to cook up a rom for myself and others who wish to test it. I would like to know what the most preferred rom base is.
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk
That will be a personal choice. If you ask me, it's Fresh, but that's really the only one I've used consistently. Somebody else will say DamageControl, or Baked Snack, or even the stock 2.2 ROM.
This is a hit or miss and it goes by the user, I have used them all!!! I prefer cm6 right now because with a few teaks it runs so smooth...but right now I'm running Baked Snack and its been flawless all day long!!!All the ROM's out are pretty stable right now so its all up to the user!!!
On that note, what's the attraction to cooking your own ROM? Is it so hard to just find the one that's close to your needs and add/remove the apps you like manually? Or is there more to it?
My main three are...
-- CM6
-- DC 3.5
-- Fresh 3.1.0.1

Nothing like that. I'm some what bored and this is my first android phone so I wanna put stuff together and eventually learn to make a rom without using a kitchen.

I've had a great time with DamageControl 3.5 ever since it's been released. CM6 has been fantastic as well. Decisions, decisions.....

Well that's valid. I climb mountains because they're there.
I've run every rom available since launch day (save the last three CM nightlies)and i'd say there are some seriously talented devs on EVO.
That said, Baked Snack is hands down the best 2.1 rom available. Bar none the best battery life of any rom out, stable and fast.
As far as Froyo, I was switching between roms daily, but once I flashed Calkulin's EViO 1.0.2 rom I was done messing around. By far my favorite of the 20 or so I have tried. Someone is going to have to come up with something pretty spectacular to get me to switch Cyanogen is a good bet once he quits screwing around with all this pre-alpha stuff LOL.

Searching through these forums, I was overwhelmed with all the ROM options.
I ask you, what are your favorite ROMs and what separates them from the competition?
minez are CM6 and Virus rom revolution those are nice CM6 because its something different big time and virus rom because its good on the battery and its fast
Good question.
Try them all and see what you like. It's all about personal preference.
I like Damage Control and Cyanogen Rom's
Also, this would be a good question to put in the Q&A rather than the development section.
i have tried them all and keep going back to CM6
OBTW this should be in general
Baked Snack, then CM6
If you want to ditch sense, Cyanogen is the way to go. If you like Sense, gotta keep it Freshhhhhhhh
Damage and fresh are the most popular sense roms
CM is the most popular senseless rom.
Force
I love Calkulin evio series rom. Then baked snack followed by cm 6
Sent from my Evo using Tapatalk.
Definitely like CM the best...but because 4g, hdmi, and fm radio dont work.....I run fresh's latest rom with toast/netarchy's kernel. I also like some of the htc and sense apps/widgets. Fresh is quick and stable for a sense rom with some extra tweaks in it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Most roms are good, although they are pretty similar so just go with whatever seems like the best to you. Damage Control, Fresh, and Baked Snack seem like the most popular. Fresh is a really nice and stable rom that has a great updater app. Baked Snack is my favorite though (atm). The optional kernels really make it great for tailoring your experience.

I've tried most of them also but Caulkin's is the whole package to me Fast, stable and pretty much everything is working. CM6 is great but with no 4g or hdmi I'll have to wait to they get everything working.
cm 6 is tight..
Sent from ANDROIKAY ON CM6 from xda app =]
No matter how far I stray into other rom's I try I always go back to cyanogen. It's just nice to not have sense. Even without parts working it's the best.
Fresh and baked snack are nice though. Especially with netarchy/toast custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I switch between Fresh, Ava's and CM6. It's nice to have choices that don't take a ton of work to swap on your phone. These Dev's are awesome and do great work, so try them all and see what you like. You can always just do an nandroid restore and move on to the next rom until you find the best fit for you.
Damage Control has great battery life.

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol
There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.
Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

I'm on the latest Nightly with Snap BFS. Came from the DesireHD rom. That rom is the definition of sick, but unfortunately it's battery life is the worst I've seen on the Evo.
Calkulin's 1.3.1
Best rom I found. Myn's warm is nice too but I prefer calkulin's.

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.
I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

I would suggest you try a few. It's all opinion man. Personally I dislike sense and miui and I love the themes for cm6 but that's me. I tried a bunch before I settled on cm6.
Sent from my Detoxed CM6.1.2 Evo 4G!
first of all, roms are like girls. some men like brunettes, some like blondes. some like flirtey, some like smart, some like both. etc etc etc. you need to experiment sometimes to figure out what you like and dont like.
the roms i would reccomend trying are as follows:
sense:
***caulkins evio 2 : slick silvery-shiney clean theme, very very fast, great battery life, some very nice improvements.
***myns warm twopointtwo : incredible themeing. simply a new phone in terms of looks. nothing goes unthemed, at all. fast, good battery, good improvements, very responsive dev.
**ava froyo z2 : pretty much unthemed, but light blue in alot of normally green places. i'd call it the most intensely under the hood tweaked rom though. this dude knows his codeing. one of the first i know to actually start mesisng with roaming and 4g etc.
** mikfroyo: includes a wierd blurry theme that i personally dont like. everything is very compressed so the rom is absolutely tiny for a sense rom. i for one dont like it but everyone has opinions.
*stock-based roms : like sprint lovers, joeykrim, etc. great for beginners and noobs but not really worth testing. those roms that you need to be there but dont need on your phone.
non-sense:
i've never really tried these. explore. these are ota based without htc sense bloat.
aosp:
these are the beastly, built from the ground up, true developments. these require teams of developers that write huge code to acutally make a great rom using only google's baisic android source. i personally dont liek these but many do.
****cyanogenmod: huge project. very android. very customizable. very evrything. probably going to release gingerbread soon. also wimax coming soon.
**** miui: chinese based, also big project. looks and feels alot like the iphone. called the middle ground, has the smooth cleanness of iphone without the... iphone.
i'm currently using caulkin's evio 2. myns 5 is the other one i love. those are the daily drivers i switch between.

im pretty new to this stuff so please forgive me if i sound a little ignorant. however i must say im catching on pretty quick thanks to this site and others like it and the people who contribute to them. so to you all i thank you! anyway back to the topic. ive only used 3 different rooted/custom roms. omj's, cm6.1.2, and currently fresh 3.5.0.1. omj's was pretty solid after he got the bugs worked out. cm6.1.2 would have random reboots, force closes, and im pretty sure it killed my sd card. i havent had any issues with fresh 3.5.0.1 yet but ive only been using it for a day. to be fare when i was running omj and cm6 i was a little more clueless, i didnt have nand unlocked, i was using rom manager for everything(which i was figuring out how to use as i went), and my recovery was messed up. ive heard that fresh is the most stable rom out right now, i dont know if thats true but im liking it so far. all the info that ive found about it thus far looks good. as far as being able to add themes or modify im in the process of learning how to do that at the moment. i dont really understand it completely but ima give it a shot. a little direction if somebody would please be so kind...I would like to become knowledgeable enough to start building my own custom roms. ive found guides on how to do so for beginners and i will start expearimenting with that soon. however of all the info ive been able to find and educate myself with i havent found much on kernels such as building your own custom, manipulating stock, etc. anybody know of a good resource? or should i not be worrying my little brain with this at this moment in my training? once again thanks to all!!!
I have a question for you Evo users. I have a HD2 that I flashed CM7.0 to, been loving it ever since (fast, battery lasts FOREVER). Got 2 guys i work with that have Evos with stock ROM and get TERRIBLE battery life. Is there a CM7 ROM for Evo...yes I did search and didnt get anything. Or if not, what is a good rom for them to use that will give better battery life? Thanks for the help.

i say go with cm7 or shooter rls 5.5 both are great roms but cm7 will give her a bit more battery life.
So what we're Reeeeally trying to say is, They're all great roms. You'll just have to try them until you find the one that suits you...(meanwhile, behind the facade of an innocent sounding phone hacker,drlzanej is underhandedly trying to create another "Flashoholic". dun,,,,dun dundun, duuun)

The first three are sense 1.0 tweaked to the max
The second two are sense 2.1 with 3.0 widgets
The last two are 3D ports. Sense 3.0

I'm defiantly a flashaholic. That's the biggest problem. There are many ROM's out there that I've tried. I prefer a sense 3.5 ROM but it lacks 4G among other things. I put her on the MikG ROM and it seems to be running fine. I had a stock OTA on there but the phone kept getting FC's however; I recently found that she's been in Titanium Backup removing files that she has no idea interact with the OS. Silly wife, tweaks are for peeps!
Don't know if this is solved it not...but If you want sense I recommend Tommy tomatoes classic, for soso it's decks all the way...find one that works with a2sd and your set
