Hey all, im pretty new to the evo, just rooted it this morning. Ive done plenty of rom flashing on previous phones so I'm good to go...just wondering if I could get some suggestions on some good roms to flash. I like stock but would like a more efficient running set up. Thanks

Thanks, ill try em
I've tried about a half dozen in the past month, both AOSP and Sense ROM's and I've found myself always coming back to the Sense ROM. My two favorites so far have to be Evo Nonsense and Fresh Evo. I haven't really found anything that doesn't work on either ROM, many of the others cant say that.
Myn's Warm 2.2 is great.
MIUI is nice, its so lightweight that I clock my evo at 499 max and it runs normally and with the side effect of great battery life.

i agree i have fresh rom for about 3 months now and i like it the best.
fresh 3.5 and netarchy 4.1.9.1 gives you really good battery
+ for MIUI. It's impossible for me to go back to any Sense ROM now, they just don't compare. Other AOSP ROMs are nice, but none are as elegant as MIUI.
Myn, mikfroyo, cyanogen, or miui.

I really liked the overall layout and featires incorporated in MIUI when I tried it a month or so ago but NOW that I know about 4G being in my area, no way I can live without using a feature I've been paying for all this time, now that it's available in my area. I'm also not crazy about the camera not being 8MP......when they dial in that ROM where everything works as it should, then I'll give'em another go.
I failed to mention Myn RLS4 was also a very nice ROM.
Thanks for all the input, I'm still not sure what to choose. I downloaded myn's and netarchy...not sure which to use yet though
Try Calk's They're always awesome.
What is a great rom to use that not gonna cook your phone cause of a messed up or overclocked kernel? I was using the CM 7 rom for awhile I loved it tho I didn't like the camera app on there would like to find a rom that hdmi is working and stock camera app is working with themes. Right now im using the Sprints Lovers rom. Any ideas thank....
Well you're gona get a ton of answers. I here Myn's warm two point two is good. And if you want hdmi, you have to stick to sense-for the times being.
Myn's would be my first suggestion. As far as I know, it has all the things you wanted.

Check out the poll. Try them out and see what you like. Everyone has their own preferences. Link in my sig
I like to use MikFroyo the most. Very responsive and everything works.
MIUI. HDMI doesn't work but it doesn't matter, MIUI is worth the trade off.
If you want one that everything works definatly myns warmtwopointtwo
I like Fresh too, but Myn's looks so much better and I think it runs better.
I have seen this question so many times now, mostly in the Dev section. Thanks for posting where it belongs lol.
I have tried almost every rom out there. Some package specific (non-stock) kernels, which may not be the best out-of-the-box experience, depending on your hardware.
I too +1 for Myn's RLS5. It's stock-esque, but better, if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be adventurous, try MIUI. It's fricken' awesome, but doesn't have 4G yet or HDMI. I've found the HDMI personally to be worthless anyway after buying an adapter on eBay.
mikfroyo 4.5 has taken over sense based ROMS.

Myns is very stable. I've been using it since I've rooted my phone, and no matter how many different ROMS I try, I always come back to Myns because it just plain works. Also, Myns ROM thread is incredibly active, and if you ask a question there, more than likely you'll have a solution/answer by the next hour. Ontop of that, myn reads most, if not every post in the thread and listens to what the community likes and doesn't like about his work, and keeps them updated on what he plans to work on etc.
I'm sure other people can make similar arguments for other ROMS, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I read up on that one they have the throttle thing turned off so you have fast net speed but do to the mod it shuts off your wireless and networks option. I would still like to control that option so i can shut off roaming so i dont get stuck with a fat ass bill lol. Thanks.

I just tried the virus rom his latest one it says sensless but you have a option to turn sense on and the stock camera and hd works also pretty nice rom worth checking out.
I've tried Myns, Ava, Kings, Elite, Fresh, Azrael, and MikFroyo. Most of them have been pretty stable, but IMO MikFroyo is where it's at. If you need a bit more eye candy, Kings is based of MikFroyo and has a ton of themes.
Although my biased opinion says try CM7 again

Ya i love the cm 7 just wanting on the stable update the voice mail thing got annoying the text thing that came through with every voice mail you got and no HDMI yet.
Personally I have tried a ton. Sense based: MikFroyo and Myn's. But I would also have to say MikFroyo. After a few weeks of using both Mik is less laggy. Plus he has an optimized LauncherPro which did it for me since I use the car dock a lot and need a landscape launcher.
Currently testing gginggerbread-6 (CM7 RC1+4G). Its not bad. A few FC but overall stable enough to run daily.
Didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some opinions on which ROM to put on my wife's new EVO. She's not very tech savy so I don't want to keep changing things on her phone by flashing different things all the time. I just wanted to pick one great looking, speedy ROM that seems to have virtually no issues.
I'm not the type to flash every single ROM so my experience is limited to Baked Snack, Fresh, and CM7 RC1/nightlies. I'm figuring a nice Sense ROM will be best for her.
What you say?

I ran Fresh before I made the jump to MIUI, it's a great ROM, very stable and bug free. That would be my recommendation. He doesn't update it as much as some of the other devs do theirs, but that will prevent you from having to update often.

You should check out the virus rom 1.1 infection still has some bit of sense in it.
I am looking to find out what other people use on there EVO and why they like or love it better than any other rom that is available here.
I have tried both sprint lovers and cm7 and I have likes and dislike with both. So please give me your reason why on likes and dislike to help me choose my next Rom to try.

The best rom is all opinion. I love cyanogenmod personally, but you may not. Keep flashing roms until YOU find YOUR favorite.

Is just like asking "whats the best pizza in town" im sure you will get different answers... roms are the same.
I am using Kings Unleashed Blakk3. Why I like it? Because it looks cool, runs super fast and my battery last forever.
I'm using MIUI because it pisses my iPhone loving roommate off

I like CM7, fast smooth, no problems. Some would argue against it with the recent mysterious things happening with the rom lately for people just flashing it.
miui and destroyer v2 are my favs right now.. but im looking to try something else.. im kinda tired of sense based roms because it makes me feel like i havent really changed anything from rooting..

I didn't like cm7 tell mag built destroyer from it, I've tried almost all the Roms that are out and i keep going back to destroyer now v2, it's fast and fun. It's one of the best gingerbread Rom i have used with the least amount of glitches. All you need to do is check out destroyer threads and read the op and i believe you will enjoy it.

I tried a destroyer Rom not sure which one and it was running fine, then after about 24 hrs of uptime it had a random bootloop. I was able to pull battery and it booted fine but that soured my taste for it.

Version one of destroyer had a few glitches, if you flash version 2 over version one it takes care of the glitches, and there is a lot of information on both threads about solving little errors like that. I've had 0 random reboot on version 2. And there is always a chance for them with Asop Rom, at least that's been my experience with all that i have tried.

i will probally do that, i currently just flashed kings unleashed black r3 then flashed the blue ballah theme im likeing it so far. will see over time.
The best ROM for the Evo is the one that suits your needs the best.
Everyone's are different.
For me, Sense: Koni's and King's.
CM: Destroyer and SalvageMod
If you want the best of both worlds, VaelPak is really cool!
I agree pretty much with the above. Destroyer is probably my favorite ROM, but right now I'm trying out Savaged-Zen RC1. You need to try a variety of them and just see what fits you.
Minimally, I would recommend trying Miui, VaelPak, Kings Unleashed/MikFroyo/Warm, and some Gingerbread AOSP ROMs (CM7, Savaged-Zen, Destroyer, SalvageMod, etc.).
I was an unleashed fan, so i can see the appeal. King dose make a fast stable Rom. I just didn't like all the themed app icons, and then having to uninstall and install the app again just to updated. And all the setting up of the ext and movement of the app to it, with the cm Roms a2sd is built in and you can have them auto to the external, i have 31 downloaded app and only 73 mb of internal used. Also with the theme pack from version one of destroyer you have access to changing the theme on the fly and not having to boot into recovery and flashing the theme zip, wireless tether is also built in. I use multi mount for connection to my computer since i have all my app on the card. I could tell you everything i enjoy about this Rom, I'm hoping that mag gets the Evo 3d and builds a destroyer for it.

i think miui is great but i got the phantom voicemail icon that seems to be plaguing everone..
but my fav non sense rom is definitely destroyer v2 but i felt like a little change of pace and am on vaelpak right now..
for me i think the best roms are the significantly "different" ones.. i never want to see a phone act like mine anywhere!

The phantom voicemail fix is HERE i've personally done it myself and it does work.
I'm the same way, I like originality with my phone. Best thing for you to do if find a rom you like and see what customization zips it offers. I tell every Myn's since it lists a ton of mods on the thread (click my red signature banner) and Konikub's Rom as well offers nice customizations to make the phone "unique".
edit: oh and of course MikFroyo
Kewl, ill give that rom a try on my next rom install. So far I'm. Liking kings unleashed dark rom. But a channge is in the works soon everything mostly in black and white gets boring quick, and I already tried the blue ballah theme like it as well.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
cm7 is my preference. it has everything i need and everything i want and everything i dont need all packaged in one. there are so many options, and it is CRAZY fast and i get FANTASTIC battery. destroyer (1 and 2) are just themed versions of cm7. try cm7 or destroyer. and if you dont like the look of cm7, keep in mind there is a one click theme changer built in.
a list of every rom i would try. KEEP IN MIND YOU DONT KNO A ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN IT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS WITH HEAVY USAGE, OR A DAY WITH MEDIUM TO LOW USAGE.
try :
cm7: aosp base, biggest dev project on xda. spans across many phones. most popular rom (probably) over all xda. seriously cool. try it try it try it.
miui: also aosp base. also spans across quite a few phones. this is much more custom than cm7. it looks and feels like a combo between android and iphone. some people like it, some people dont. some people love it. some people get 4 days of battery life on it. try it to see where you stand.
myn's warm twopointtwo: very popular sense (stock) based. dark themed. fast. customizable. good battery. again, was crazy popular. has sort of lost popularity cuz myn stopped updating ("if i cook froyo anymore, it will burn " -myn) but if it's new for you, it can still be really cool.
mikfroyo: another popular sense based. fast. compressed. fast. customizable. i'm not a fan but many are.
android creative syndicate: this team has released a few roms. ultra unleashed and koni's elite. try at least one if not both. they are very good themers (you can tell they like black) and take rom building seriously.
you dont need to try this next one, but it is the perfect in-between.
vaelpek rom is sense based, but stripped down as much as possible to be pretty much senseless. you will get a little of that sense sluggyness and high memory, but not much. the dev does a great job making this the rom for all who want a perfect in-between with everything working but as littel sense as possible.
also reccomended: one of the desire z ports (mik z or myn's warm z). salvage mod: stock gingerbread.
any others to add?
hope this helps you make your decision.

I've tried several ROM's, but not Mik. I have been using Synergy RC1 and now RC2 and both of them are by far the best of any I have tried. Fast, fast, fast and highly customizable.

if you need to ask, you need to flash ......or maybe I just narrowly escaped a troll trap
never tried mikg but i am running synergy rc2 and before that i ran rc1 and before that the super early nightlys and even the nightly builds were smooth as hell haha. so i would recommend synergy and with myns huge fan base there is tons of flashable customizations to make it how you like it and im sure there is much more to come
I have tried both out and i have to say they are both very good. MikG 2.2 was Very Very fast and fluid haven't tried 2.4 but i see some issues already with that one but i currently reflahsed to RC2 to give that a go and so far i am happy its faster then rc1 also some tiny quirks i had it reboot on me 1 time but that was after i flashed not sure what caused that. So if you were to choose between the two id say its a toss up,. Try both and see whats better for you. Oh,, Mik comes with some extra apps that i never used but again the roms are both great in my opinion.
This is all great, i'm looking for some ROMs as well... unfortunately i can't root my EVO yet... stuck on 2.3.3 (decided to root too late in the game) but with all the commotion surrounding the idea of a possible binary root i have been eagerly looking for a Sense 3.0 ROM
i have looked all over utoob for a review of the Synergy RC2 but haven't found a single one... i did read somewhere tho that synergy's platform is Froyo and not gingerbread... not sure tho.
any other suggestions? is there something better out there? i would check myself... but as stated above, i cannot root my EVO yet :/

How do you see issues with a ROM that you've never tested yourself? As for the apps that Mik often includes, you can remove them yourself if you don't want them. I'd say that Mik and Synergy have about the same fan base (size wise).
I was on RC1 but went to the 3.0 nightlies. I daily drove RC1 for awhile but liked the carousel effects and a few minor things so I have been doing nightlies for awhile.
I think today I am going to go back to Synergy though. 3.0 is just too unstable for MY application. Fantastic Rom and works for some but it's too laggy for myself.
Mik was a good rom too but I ran it for so long I just wanted the change. Overall I think I like Synergy better with RC1 and am hearing RC2 only improved it.
LOL I think I might have ADD'ed out on this post. Sorry
Neither... This mik is a great Dec himself... The fastest smoothest most stable build to date with full sense 3.0 would be Kings Kingdom

Synergy had Sense 2.1 with many 3.0 items added to it. And if you look at the first page of Synergy thread there is 2 different reviews and at least 1 of then is a video review. I actually think both are.

Have been using MikG since 2.2 and liking it a lot. Near as I can tell, everything works, and does so smoothly. I gave Synergy RC1 a shot and had couple of issues with Email and SMS. My guess would be that those issues were addressed for the RC2 release and probably aren't a problem. I just haven't taken the opportunity to try it out yet. Other than that, better is a relative term. Try them out and see which one fits your needs and wants.
Both are solid roms but i have to go with synergy for now
I've used both MikG 2.4 and Synergy RC1 and now RC2. I like both roms, but have to go with Synergy RC2 ftw
Swyped from my PC36100 using XDA App
Tried both, and MikG hands down. EPST actually works fully on MikG. Do a simple thing like GPSCLRX and it'll say Restarting in 10secs but it doesn't on Synergy. You have to manually restart. On MikG it simply just works. Little things like that make MikG better.

But yes, I would go with mik G hands down if I was rooted. I had always been a myn/warm rom fan until I used mikroms and they are clean, polished, and mik-optimized! Plus...we have an entire site dedicated to mikroms and so questions and answers are quickly responded to. Not to say that synergy is bad, because myn is still one of my favorites ..but I am saying aamikam is the best. Plus, synergy used (with expressed permissions) ideas and files from mikg so most things you find in synergy are in MikG.
But as I usually tell peeps, flash both! Nandroid and try each out for a day or a few hours. Set up your emails aand browse and stuff. See which one works on your phone. Both roms have great communities. I am mostly over on themikmik but when perusing xda I am either on Q&A threads or posting with the mynions

My soon to be wife has been having some issues with her trusty Evo 4G, and I've been wanting to root her phone for some time to get her access to wireless tethering.
So I'm wondering, what would you all recommend for a stable/fast Sense ROM that could add some features. She's really comfortable with Sense, so I don't want to switch it up on her too much, but I would like to think she would appreciate some value added features. Was originally thinking Mik's, but I haven't used it in a long time....and the other Sense based ROMs I've used recently have been not as stable as I had hoped.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

No way! Here I was just expecting to get some normal ROM recommendations, and here you go and show me a ROM designed for the ladies?? You rock, thanks, will definitely check this out.
my wife likes tommys classic....when I was on sense I liked mikg3.11, although it did seem to bog down.
I'm a lady using Tommytomatoe's Classic altho a lot of guys like it too. It is beautiful, everything is perfect. Had Mikg before. The classic is smoother and faster.

What were the "issues" she was having with her existing Evo?
And was *she* asking for wireless tether or was that more your suggestion?
I don't mean that to come cross as accusatory - just saying my advice would depend on who's really driving this and what problem is really being solved.
My favorites are Nitrous and Classic. For me they're the best performing and most stable.
Tommy's classic rom and the pink theme would be great. As a guy I even liked the pink theme as it was clean and well made.

If a no sense rom is one of your options, then I suggest CM7.
There are a lot of themes available that can be changed to even as per the mood if need be coz its that easy.
CM7 + LunarUI
XDA link for the theme
Or even MIUI ... GB versions for now

For Sense, I also prefer Nitrous and Classic. For non-Sense, I use MIUI but I'm still on GB MIUI which has tons of themes (I don't use 4G even though I live in a 4G area).
For a Sense ROM MikG 3.11 is the best hands down. Plenty of themes, GREAT battery life without swapping kernals, fast, no lag and it all just works.
I flash a lot of ROM's but always go back to MikG until something else and beat it.

What were the "issues" she was having with her existing Evo?
And was *she* asking for wireless tether or was that more your suggestion?
I don't mean that to come cross as accusatory - just saying my advice would depend on who's really driving this and what problem is really being solved.

Not accusatory at all....
She's having issues with MMS send/receive, where it doesn't want to download the image or send the image. This is a new issue that is happening more frequently for some reason.
She's also having an issue where notifications are not disappearing after she views the item...for instance new gmail notification appears, she views the item by clicking on the notification, all mail is read, and notification is still there. She has to either clear it manually or go back into gmail and exit for it to disappear.
I use wireless tether on occasion, and she's jealous of the functionality....so this is her asking for the functionality, not me pushing it on her.
She has the new phone bug, but can't get one until fall. I know how a new ROM can curb this urge, so I figured why not install something that:
a) fixes her issues above
b) makes her phone more responsive w/ better battery life
c) gives her wireless tether
d) gives her the appearance changes to help curb the appetite for a new phone
I think I'm going to have to go with MikG for her. I've had the most experience with it myself, and also seems like the most popular choice by all of your responses.
Thanks everyone for helping me out with this, I had way more response than I anticipated and after I open her up to the world of ROM's maybe I can start steering her more towards an AOSP world so her next phone can be a nexus.

I'm a lady using Tommytomatoe's Classic altho a lot of guys like it too. It is beautiful, everything is perfect. Had Mikg before. The classic is smoother and faster.

Special thanks to a lady responding to this thread. Makes me a feel a little more comfortable rooting my lady's phone.
I think I need to give Tommy's classic a try as well, seems to be MikG's arch rival in the world of Sense ROM's.
Nitrus and Digital karma... faster and smaller than MikG 3.11

I discovered this ROM too and found it to be snappy and reliable. No random reboots and everything working just great. I went back to Energy ROM with his latest release on the 4th and it is visually the most appealing and at its most stable version. It depends on which sense version you prefer. Sense 1.0 is super stable and sense 3.5 is fancy as hell.

My gf has my old evo. I've got her on the latest swagged out stock with underworld kernel. She loves it
