Hi I'm new to the mytouch slide so I was wondering if there was a way that I could root it and overclock it I saw something about there being a special made kernel for overclocking it, would I need that, I want to keep the original sense ui but if I have to I'll just go to the froyo/sense rom.....i guess

I tried keeping the original slide rom rooted and overclocked but i dont think the kernal matched well since i had constant issues and needed to reflash the rom over and over. Its best just to go with a 2.2 rom and overclock. They are more stable. The latest cyanogenmod actually has the overclock kernal in it.

So should I just drop sense ui all together and just go with cyanogenmod or go with froyo/sense?

Sense roms are sexy and all, but I've used 2 of them for the slide now, both have some pretty major issues. The froyo one was the most glitchy. Cr_mod is eclair, but you can apply the oc kernel and install setcpu. The rom still has an issue here or there but nothing like the issues with froyo sense roms. I'm using cm6.1 rc2 and I have to say its still the fastest rom that I've used for slide. The cm roms were the fastest on my old g1 as well. PLUS they include the overclock kernel. I definitely recommend cyanogenmod.

Idk man, it depends what you can deal with and what you cant. The rom 3rd Sense seems to be the best froyo sense at the moment since it has a2sd, wifi, and bluetooth working but from what i read, it has rotation problems and no keyboard lights. Its making progress though.

ok cyanogenmod is soundin pretty good right about now but all really want with sense is the benefits which are contacts(sim,tmobile,facebook), myfaves(can kinda do without), gbutton, and the widgets. are there ways to keep these?
Gbutton is now google search and there are sense-like widgets. Also, the facebook app does add friends to contacts.

Arayray 1.8 or 3rdSense 0.30? They both seem like solid 2.2 ROM's. Either one have an advantage over the other? I'm having a tough time deciding which to flash.

Really they are the same but one has sense and one is stock with a theme. So the question is sense or no sense. But with 3rd sense you need to put in your apn settings

Just bought my evo 4G and I can't stand HTC sense so what would be the best Rom to put on it, personal preference of course. Also it doesn't have service yet and I wanna flash it with boost mobile does anyone know how to do that? I'm a pretty experienced flasher so I'm not worried.

I highly recommend miui (not sense) and myn's else 5( modded sense). I can't comment on flashing to boost.

No idea on boost but I like mik froyo 4.4 for my rom.
What would be q good gingerbread rom

Personally I think cm7 nightlies are the way to go if you're willing to rough it a little and use a ROM that's in the works. However what works for me may not work for you... I'd go to Dev and try out a few. It doesn't take long to flash a rom and after a couple hours you should be able to know if it'll work for you on a longer term.
yea I'm not a noob at this at all I use the night lies on my mytouch 4g I'm just new to the evo and wanted to get a feel of what the community thought

How do you have yours set up? I have CM7 with Savaged Zen and it runs faster than any other ROM/kernel combo I've tried.
Im not running setcpu so its not overclocked or underclocked
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Im not saying its slow im more looking for better signal and a sense like feel from an aosp

Good luck with that kind of find...
If you're looking for a sense-like feel, why not just go with a sense ROM? I personally use Synergy ROM and everything works super fast, no issues, and service seems to be better than when I had CM7 on it. That and sense ROMs also make full use of the phone's hardware, such as the camera...
The support and extras are a pretty sweet deal, as well.

Signal strength is not universal. You can have the same signal strength on your phone but it will display as a different number of bars based purely on your ROM. CM seems to be one of those ROMs where I have a really good signal yet I'm only showing about 2 or 3 bars. Its just the way the ROM displays it. Flashing another ROM and getting more bars doesnt mean your signal strength is any stronger or weaker at all.
Also, if you're looking for a sense feel then just get a sense ROM. There are a lot out there to choose from. I'm actually thinking of running Boot Manager on my phone and flashing a sense ROM alongside CM7 so that I can make use of the abilities of the sense ROMs when I need to.
I switch between Fresh 4.22 and CM7 pretty regularly and love battery life/performance of both. I use Tiamats 4.1 SBC on CM7 and the stock kernel on Fresh, although it would be choice if there were a Sense SBC kernel.

Any chance u got the link for that frsh 4.22?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I keep coming back to Mik's roms. On MikG now and love it. Battery life is great too but then I use all the app tricks I can find. App2SD / DroidWall / SetCPU / StartUp Auditor. If your signal strength is bad just call Sprint and ask for an Airvanna. Once it's hooked up you should be up to 4/5 bars constantly. That's been my experience.
Have you tried team nocturnals merge Rom its sense based with an soap feel its pretty nice if you are trying to have your cake and eat it too

Fresh Rom 4.22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046622
Hello all. I was wondering which rom do people feel is the best. in the sense of stability and performance? I am going to get this phone for 50 bux from a guy i know because i broke my galaxy s 4g. I have been looking at the roms in the dev section but can't decide which one to go with. Any help would be appreciated.
I highly recommend the XM-8 Stripped version and its very reliable. Been using it for a while now.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using xda premium
If you like sense, I recommend HaXspresso 2.2.1 It's froyo but it just works.
Otherwise yep, XM8 is the one to go with.
Ditto on the thumbs-up for HaXspresso. It may just be froyo, but everything works and battery life isn't too bad.
I use a custom MTD partition to make more room for apps.

I've had good luck with CyanogenMod 7. Awesome battery life, and everything seems to work well. No lag, reboots, force closes.
I agree. Cm7 is the best way to go. I have it on 2 slides and my SGH-T989. Its pretty good and is feature packed
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I've had good lock with CM 7. However, I forgot which nightly is the best one to install. The last RC and nightly have wifi issues. I don't remember which is the most stable one.
