Whats up guys? been following this site for a while.. but never joined lol because i didnt have a decent phone.. Well now i have a evo that i just rooted with unrevoked, as well as i have flashed over to Amon_ra. Now my question is (besides i will do a lot more reading but..) What do i do next? i am wanting my phone to run as it did stock (no glitching or crash's) I want to overclock the evo for more speed, I heard of cm6 & turbo ... (not sure of the full name) is pretty insane fps wise and the quickness it allows. If i could have figured this out by searching, i am sorry i am just very persistant lol.
Thanks again,
you guys are AWESOME!

Well you can always just run the Stock rooted ROM and find a good kernel compatible with it.
try myns warm twopointtwo. wait for rls5 to come out or it will be glitchy with your hardware.
welcome to the root crew.
Welcome
If you are looking for something similar to stock I would personally try "Sprint Lovers Rom". You can install any kernel you want and download "Setcpu" to overclock your phone. My favorite rom is Myns Warm two point two, but I am waiting until he releases his next version which should be compatible with the new Radios, PRI, PRLS etc. You might also want to stay away from any of the Gingerbread based roms until they are fully ported over and bug free.
The rom you mentioned in your post is Cyanogen Mod. Although this is a good rom, it is also an AOSP rom which doesn't have HTC Sense. Therefore if your looking for something similar to stock but with all the tweaks and goodies you should choose a Sense Based Rom.
Best advise is to just keep flashing & flashing until you find the Rom that you like best. Everyone's tastes are different and there is no "Best Rom" out there, it just personal preference.
Hope this helps
Thank you all, who responded I am gonna try out the "Sprint lovers"
"Myna" roms far as the kernel I am not to sure about those just yet. Need to read up still.. lol So for now I am very open to suggestions . I look forward to expanding my knowledge on here with ya'll. I just don't want to brick my phone, I will die! Lol I love my evo!
P.s do I do the "Back up's" and "Nandroid" back up's, when changing roms and kernels?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
first, DEFINETALLY DO A NANDROID BACKUP. as a general rule, backup whenever you like the state your phone is in (before you make a mod) and always have at least one backup handy always. titanium backups are helpful for changing roms because you can get all your app's data back. helpful on games and the like.
for kernels, i would suggest netarchy's 4.3. he says its is beta, but thats just because net likes his work to be perfect. it is as stable as anythign else. it has a nice sbc tweak as well. test many kernels. those are particular by phone. that is why people with the same phone get different battery life. what works well on one phone is terrible on another. so try netarchy's, maybe kingx's (off forum), and some others. i cant think of any more. i personally use netarchys though.
this is a noob question/rant but i recently went to rls5 from rls1 thinking UPGRADE.....not so much i have found soooo much junk running in the back ground, i cant download pic messages thru any app wireless hotspot yea right the clock loses its location...so on so on my question will rls1 run the new radios with the netarchy kernel listed on rls5's page that what im using also its nice

I'm running Warm Z (RLS1) with a Netarchy 4.3.4 cfs havs-more nosbc kernel and the latest radios and everything works just perfectly (keep in mind: this port lacks 4G functionality). Phone is responsive and all works well.
thanx a bunch yea i wanted to run the 3.70 with the netarchy kernel def help the 5 move along lol theres too much junk in 5
I ran it for a while also and loved it. If this was your first flash with it I would give it another try. Be sure to wipe everything (maybe even twice) and flash it again. I recommend nets 131 kernel too
Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
When you say "upgrade" did you literally just flash over your RLS1? If you did, you might wanna wipe and try again. Hopefully you nandroided before you flashed in case you absolutely need to go back to RLS1.
And AFAIK, running the radios on the old framework might be a bad idea. Those radios were built with the 3.70.xx rom updates in mind.
no i wipe everything before i flash a rom somethings i do it just in case i may be new but dont take chances... and thanx for the responses you've been helpful

When flashing ROMs, always do a nand backup, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik!
Additionally, I believe Warm Z (RLS1) and Warm TwoPointTwo (RL5) are both up to date with the radios and can run just fine.

What type of stuff is running in the background? The 3.70 software, by nature, has more services running the background. There's quite a few drm services that are tied to the blockbuster app I believe, that run quite a bit. I personally liked the 3.30 software better. It lacks swyoe, but that's very easily fixed. Rls4 is 3.30 software.

Re-wipe and re-flash, my friend. RLS5 is a very solid rom and some of the things you are complaining about is not normal behavior for it. As for the new radios and RLS1, It is possible, however, I've never tried it.

thanx i did go back to rls1 with the 3.70 and netarchys 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-nosbc (More Aggressive HAVS) so far so gd i have a backup 4.2 that worked great with 5 also the stuff that was running in the back ground was a never ending list of crap i dont use or dont know what the hell its for lol

With Titanium Backup you can just freeze (not remove) the apps you don't use. Below is an article on rooting, etc. Go to "After Rooting (Optional)" > Setion 2: "Bloatware - The Ugly!" and see which apps you can/cannot freeze. This should help with the the apps you don't want and/or use. I've been running myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5 for quite some time without any problems doing just this. I say give this a try and see if it works for you. I hope this helps.

I have been using Cyanogen since CM6 and I have gotten to a point where I absolutely hate it. My GPS is hit or miss (usually miss), and 90% of the time I get a call I end up missing it due to my screen not waking up. I wont even get started on the FC's
So I am on the hunt for another good rom, there is only a few things I'm looking for in a rom other than what stated above to be working. GB of course, not a fan of sense roms, and it has to look clean. I am admittedly very picky about how my ui looks, currently I am using the Matted blues theme, with ADW EX and I exclusively use the hidden panel with a wood dock look to it, and I use the Faenza icon theme.
Im open to any and all suggestions, even if it is a sense rom, just help with a link to a SBC kernel along with it, because I know nothing of sense kernels. And I'm even open to MIUI if its finally stable.
If you wana stay on AOSP, you could try decks rom [a cleaned up version of CM7], salvage mod [bare bone AOSP], or MIUI...AOSP with a twist. If you want a sense rom, I'd go with the synergy-kingdom sense 3.0 rom.
As for kernels, for AOSP, I strongly recommend the Tiamat kernel, along with the vipermod. PM if you need anything else.
Vipermod > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028322
Tiamat > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972746
Yeah, for AOSP, Deck's rom is THE ****!!!! I actually am enjoying Synergy RLS1 (NON-Godmode) along with the vipermod script that teh roxxorz was kind enough to provide a link to, and this puppy flys.... not quite as fast as AOSP, but a **** of a lot more stable and all features work...
remember sir, there's no such thing as a "best rom" you gotta try them and see how it works for you, good luck!

I have given serious consideration to decks rom, but is it a steady rom or is it just a fly by night build?
I tried synergy kingdom, I was fairly impressed once I installed ADW. Sense 3.0 for me was like playing a PSX game, everytime I turned a corner there was a loading screen, lol. But I was unable to get it to look the way I like, I want as little white on the screen as possible, aside from text.
SavagedZen Mod was horrible for me, and It hasn't been updated from RC4 in months.
As far a MIUI goes I'm trying it again, even though on the front page of the site there is yet another thing broken with it.
I have also tried Vealpak's new AOSP GB ROM, it was ok. anybody have any experience themeing it?
EDIT:
As I type im doing a nandroid in RA about to mess with MIUI for a little bit, and then Im going to flash decks rom. I found the main forum for it, and your right allot of people seem to be going ape **** for it.

Deck's is fairly stab;e, so you shouldn't have any problems out of it. And well the sense 3.0 roms are monster, so it can 'sorta' be expected. if you wanted to try that, you could try the supercharger script to free up some memory. I stopped using savagedzen kernels months ago once they only went to sbc, went to Tiamat...never looking back. As for MIUI > http://romsmaster.miui.us/ Just scroll down to the evo, and you can get the latest rom. I haven'y used it, though to theme is fairly basic: you can download a theme, and flash it via theme manager, or flash it old school in recovery. You can download icon packs as well if you wanted to use them.

This.
I just went from CM over to MIUI. I love the UI, and battery life seems to be really good.
No 4G though, but I never use it, so meh.
+1 for deck. I'm on latest build but would recommend going with 1.21 build, tiamat 4.06+SBC, and vipermod. I get some wake locks with 1.3d n would back 2 1.21 but don't feel like reloading everything.

LOL @ people recommending Deck's after the OP says that he hates CM7. C'mon guys, I like Deck's too but it's almost completely CM7 based. Give SalvageMod a shot.
Ive been trying this rom for a good while now. its a combination of aosp rom and htc sense. the rom is clean and quick. I recommend it!!

go slap launcher 2 on it
He also mentioned trying to escape CM6, not CM7 so his problems may be solved already.
Get bootloader and try every ROM listed so far in this thread is my advice. I just added Decks 1.3d to slot 4 out of respect for the above Italian.

Lawlz, I personally like launcher pro, epicness enough for moi
And how is the boot manager app? I hear a lot of people half problems, but just as many say its workign well...about 50/50 and you didn't have to load up deck's rom on my behalf. .
Best app ever. Worth a shot.
Decks is nice except for the random market fc's I just started to get. Still not as good as salvagemod.

I am SO glad you posted this thread (so - thanks).
I, too, and looking to get away from CM as I have used it for a very long time and, identically to you I am having serious issues with the GPS and the screen not waking up.
I'm gonna try both Decks & MUIU tonight and see which I like best. My friend at work as MUIU and the only complaint I've had with it is the way it mimics iOS. I hate apple and don't know if that'll be a deal-breaker for me, but here we go!
I suppose I could have just 'thanked' your post since I didn't have any valuable info, just wanted to let you know you aren't the only one experiencing those EXACT issues w/ CM.

once you get into the settings and launcher options of MIUI, you will quickly realize it is NOT ios4. just download and change the theme, load a different launcher, and you will be very happy minus 4G.

.....ROM that works....been flashing ROMs for a while now and can't seem to find something that's stable enough to use daily...besides one I would rather not name so I don't look biased....
I know ALOT of hard work goes into these ROMs & it is quite a pain in the ass dealing with people complaining about every little detail, but why release something with alot of bugs?
If a ROM constantly freezes, removes apps by itself, reboots by itself repeatedly, force closes every 10 minutes, needs 3 scripts to be run before it works and/or only 1/2 of the tools/gadgets on the device work correctly then maybe it shouldn't be released as fast.
I GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK by all the Devs on this (and other) forums...do not take this personal anyone, please.
If someone knows of a somewhat-stable ROM PLEASE point me in that direction.
I know how to flash ROMs & kernels and wipe everything and do all the backups & whatnot....not following directions is not the problem....
I have done what is recommended by so many members of this forum---"just download & try them for yourself"....I've done that, but can't seem to find a decent ROM/kernel combo....
if anyone can offer a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.
[I'm gonna get some sh*t for this post, I know it]
I found decks rom to be good and stable with real good battery life. I've tried it with tiamat kernels they were ok but my phone I decided my phone likes the stock kernel the best. Only thing i had to fix was the gps but I've read that all aosp roms need that fix. Or if all else fails you can go with trustee ol fresh rom

I think you're flashing wrong. Ive flashed about 90 percent of the roms in xda and I've never gotten the problems you stated. Try mikg v2.5. That's what I'm running right now for sense. For AOSP try kushdeck 1.2.1. It's 2.3.4 based and really stable in my opinion
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
yeah the MikG 2.1-3.0 v2.52 is the stable ROM I was talking about in the OP...that's what I've been using but I'm looking for a Sense 3.0 ROM to flash...I use Amon-RA & VR Superwipe to wipe everything (I run VR twice for every ROM) so I'm sure everything gets wiped...
I didn't mean all of those errors happened at the same time on the same ROM....I was just stating that quite a few ROMs have at least one or more of those problems....
know of any somewhat-stable 3.0's?
Thanks for the reply BTW.
For sense I have used EVOlved Rom and loved it. Just flashed Synergy a few days ago and it seems to be running really well also. Godmode for Synergy doesn't work well for a lot of people but non godmode works really well for me

MIUI is an AOSP ROM, correct? Similar to CM7?
I tried out CM7 & that was pretty decent, but I really like the Sense 3.0 ROMs.
Finally got a nice setup (so far) with the Synergy RLS1 & Aggressive Freedom .9 Universal kernel...device is crazy-fast now with no FCs or any problems...yet...hopefully all will stay good.

Hey guys, is there a Froyo kernel with audio boost baked in. I know and have used GB kernels that have it, but right now the ROM I keep coming back to is on Froyo. The absolute only downside is the low audio/call volume. Any help would be great.

I dont remember any froyo kernels having that. I know there are a bunch of apps on the market that are ment to boost vol, but i have never used one. I like audio boost though, makes it so much easier to hear. Its built in to the kernel im using, Tinys latest gingersense.
Yeah, I have used the GingerTiny kernels and really like them. I guess i will have to keep trying GB ROMs until I find I want to keep. Most that I have tried either didn't have all the features I wanted or had issues with flash not running smoothly.
