So I have rooted my EVO running froyo, now I want a better rom than just a rooted stock one. I am trying to find a froyo rom with sense, overclocking, 4G, wifi tethering, and 802.11N. Any suggestions??
Why don't you search the development forum and read the roms. They all are different. And some have bugs that WiFi or 4g isn't working. Overclocking deals with kernel not Rom. I suggest doing some reading in the forum and read stickies in each forum. WiFi tether is an app you download from the market. Yet again nothing to do with a Rom. Some roms include it as why you should read up the roms.
Edit: and what do you call better? You will end up trying bunch of roms before you find one you like over the others. I suggest try a Rom. Using it for a day or 2. Nand backup and then try another Rom. You might like how its setup or the features of the Rom.

I've been happy with Fresh roms, and like #2 poster said, which is the same thing I did was try out a few roms and determine which one you like.
Ditto. I stayed with CM6 after testing several roms.

Been on Calkulin's EViO ROMs for quite some time. I have Nand backups of Fresh and BS but I come back to EViO for 99% of my use.
So why Evio? Any specific perks?
Fresh 3.2 with launcher pro and sense disabled. Vanilla lock clock and apps. With a side of handcent and swype! Best tasting rom ever! Lol

How do you "disable" Sense? Do you mean the lock screen mod?
I'm guessing when you hit home and ask you to pick with launcher you want to use he checked to use the one certain launcher. Sense still runs in the background..

Get the pro version of titanium backup and you can freeze sense so it never runs.

I have been looking around the forums for a while now and if anyone knows where i can find such a ROM that fits the fallowing:
- Official release of Froyo 2.2
- De-oxidized
- All bloat ware removed
- no sence UI
- Uses LauncherPro
Thats about it, if anyone knows of a ROM that fits the previously stated criteria. I would greatly appreciate it.

CM6 is the ONLY ROM without Sense right now.
Can't you just download launcher pro from the market? What about adw launcher? Root your phone and delete the bloat. A lot of stuff can be deleted manually. Message enomther and see if he will port his nexus Rom to evo. It is a great Rom.

There is a Senseless Froyo-Fusion out, but I haven't tried it.
I personally tossed around the idea of a stripped down ROM, but like 2.1 can't get the AOSP dialer working, and the AOSP calendar had some wierd issues.
I know of at least one more established ROM dev that is currently working on a 2.2 version with sense stuff stripped out. I'm guessing we will see it in the next few days.
But other than CM, none of these are true sense-removed roms. They still are Sense at the core (framework level) but have AOSP apps in place of sense apps, and a different launcher. If you want a true AOSP, CM is the only one, and I'm pretty sure for other phones most AOSP builds are based off CM.
I'd like to install a ROM that has all the bloatware deleted and a bare minimum of apps installed. But I would also still like to use the sense UI is their such a ROM?
Thanks
Virtuous removes much of the common bloat and allows you to remove even more, if you so desire, through the included Virtuous Buddy utility. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
this probably belongs in q&a
there are several stripped sense roms
redemption, virtuous, uncommon sense, and others im sure
Wrong forum.

CM7 is the best gingerbread rom out there right now IMO. Very stable, loads of options.

And not in any way stock.

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

I don't even understand source much less can I build from it. I was just saying I don't understand why they use adw. I was looking for someone with a reason like well you can change setting by going to _____ menu. Or something like that.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus

Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.

Stock android with sense camera n Widgets possible?
True 3g and 1xrtt display?
Great on battery
sent from plant Snarf
If you mean a aosp ROM with sense widgets no you can't do that IDK the whole reason for that.
And for the best ROM you'll just need to start flashing, all ROMs work different on each evo so you'll have to do a little trial and error its all opinion.

so whats a good sense rom ?
I've been on mikg for about 2 weeks now, and it's spectacular. Everything works flawlessly and is fast. You also get sense 2.1 + 3.0 which is also a cool transition.

RLs2 is a great rom too.
it seems like what your looking for is a "senseless" ROM, which is like in between stock (AOSP) and sense. Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092221
Another vote here for MikG 2.45. Very nice Sense 2.1+3.0 rom.
