best evo rom?

So coming to Evo4G in couple days and am wondering which sense rom is performing the best right now? plan on rooting as soon as its in my hands
any help would be great on rom choice
mainly looking for sense rom with good battery life and stable running
dont care about overclock so much
thanks in advance

I like regawmod 3 but it is only for beta testers right now. Wait til' its out but for now i would recommend virus.

I'm using Calkulin's EViO rom and I am absolutely in love with it. I'm on 24hrs of moderate usage and my battery isn't even halfway drained.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I would reccommend trying several for yourself and deciding which you like the most. Just as you can see from the responses so far, everyone has their own favorites and for different reasons, you might as well see which you like the most. I for one like Damage Control.

Stable sense, mm well I'm using evio rom rite now and I like it much, fast and reliable, fresh rom is good too, but imo evio is faster and sense work I just flash the hddesire dump file for the filp clock and it works really nice
HTC EVIO using swype

The best rom is always the one that is supposed to be released

fresh 3.2 works great

What kernel are you using? I've been on EViO since Day 1 and have never gotten this kind of battery life. Don't get me wrong, battery life is good, but not THIS good!

ive used CM6 nightlies for a few months now.
i have tried Baked Snack, Fresh, Calks, etc
Of those I think i liked Baked Snack the most. Fresh always seemed a touch laggy to me, not sure if I ever tried it with a different Kernel though.
Right now i'm ont he 9/20 nightly of Cyanogenmod, and i'm using the 7.6BFS kernel in Turbo mode....and hit a 2605 Quadrant score...
everything is just smooth.
but i'm looking into going back to a sense rom. But i use ADW Launcher, just love it.

I love fresh with man up theme currently 20hrs + on normal use.....
Do any one know what is the best Rom / kernel for heavy use of the phone (what Rom will allow the phone to be use without draining battery life fast )
So far fresh Rom is good just wondering if there is something better

cyanogen, ride til i die lol

Right now, I'm using fresh, It used to work great I just updated to the latest one. It is very laggy to me but I believe that is my fault haha. I backup system data along with apps in titanium backup then restored all. I'm actually searching for a different rom but Fresh has been great to me. Also, I really want to try cyanogen its just not all the things work yet. I know cyanogen has great stuff and hes been in the game a very long time. When i has my g1 a few years back, his rom was the only one I touched, So smooth and nice. Most likely my choice with be cyanogen when everything is fixed, and I havent even used it on the evo!

I guess alot of people just don't reply to Questions on this forum very often compared to Development posts. I would recommend trying out Myn's Warm Two Point Two. I used to use Fresh but wanted to try out Myn's when it came out because it looked like an awesome rom, needless to say I'll never look back. The numbers on Myn's rom post don't lie. Also, I feel it is important that a dev regularly contributes to posts on their rom, which Myn does. I tried Cyanogen one time, and just wasn't a fan, plus the broken 4g is a deal breaker for me.

the beauty with the evo is there are so many quality ROM's to try out, you should really try them all out. I only run sense based roms because it allows me to sync with my exchange email, so i would recommend trying these out as i have:
in no particular order
- Baked snacks
- Fresh
- Myn's
- Any calk ROM
- there are a couple of sense basic ROM's as well
there is also AOSP based ROM's that if work for you give them a shot. the beauty is, the one that does what you want is the best ROM for you

MIUI for me

The best one for me is the one I made to fit my use. Use the dsixda kitchen to start and slowly you will get deeper into customizing it past the kitchen. I don't use other roms anymore because if something isn't working you have to wait for them to fix it. I keep a stock rooted backup on hand when I am building my rom in case something is not working.

[Q] Best ROM With Simple with Working 4G and And Great battery for GF.

hey guys i just rooted my GF phone and wanted to see what good rom you guys recommend for my GF use all she cares about having working 4G and good battery cause stock battery sucks...and simple no bells and wishtles maybe like wifi tethering and thats about it...PLEASE HELP there are so many ROM to chose from!!

Try ricsim's turbo stock great battery life fast and bugless and looks completely stock
Sent from my EVO at the edge of Hell

I am going to have to take a different opinion on this. I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. Myn has done some extensive work throughout the rom to help with battery life. For the excellent battery life that everyone speaks of, flashing a kernel may be necessary, but that is up to you. The biggest selling point for Myn's rom is the support in the thread for his rom. You can almost always ask something and your guaranteed an answer 5 minutes later.

Now do they both come with 4g enabeld ad wifi tethering app and maybe flashing a kernel is risky I want a rom that's all in one...radios....kernels yo know the whole plate...and thank for he relplies keep it comming
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Myn has all features working 4g,3g, tethering, you name it. And the stock htc kernel is what he packages in his roms, but the latest haven't been bad at all. But I just prefer to get 26 hours of use on one charge. So it depends on how much she wants out of her battery.

Well, currently I am running:
-Myn's warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4 which is the newest release.
-On top of that I flashed the Ziggy Beta 12/14 CFS Kernel.
Personally, I would just get her onto the rom,and have her try out the rom just as is and see how she comes out with batter life. From experience I can tell you the battery you get will reflect on the way your settings are on the phone itself. Like i said earlier, have her test out this kernel thats already in the rom and see how she comes out. Kernels are like women, you have to try out a few before you can find the one that works the best for you.

Nope, pretty solid rom.

Myn's hands down right now, for the best looking (Damn it's pretty), best FULLY functioning, best battery rom, IMO anyway.
HTC should have hired MYN for the overall appearance and UI experience, instead of the crap they tossed together with Sprint.

Another vote for Myn 2.2!!! Best ROM I have ever used.

I gotta agree, I'm using twopointtwo RLS4 and I get 20hours out of my phone with average usage and 10hours with heavy usage.

Without a doubt, Myns is the way to go. I don't think ill ever use anything other than myns( for my daily driver, still like to check others out). Every release is rock solid. Delay no further. And btw, the kernel it comes with, HTC 17, gives my phone the best battery life. I've tried all if ziggys and most of nets. They all ran great, fast, and smooth for me, but the stock did the best overall.

[Q] Best Rom in your opinion for EXT4?

I just got an epic this week from sprint, loving it so far NOW that I flashed it myself to Cricket. can someone recommend a rom that can be used as a daily driver for me? I know alot of people post this kind of question but this is what I'm looking for:
Speed
A little awsomesauce
Nice layout
No sprint bloatware
Overclocked Kernel preferably EB13 (Don't know if this has been done yet)
Bluetooth for music functioning along with voice (using a motorola roadster for my car)
Few if no force closes
sorry for asking this as I know alot of devs see this on a normal basis but I'm VERY new to samsung android, Evo's and Mytouch 4g's were my last phones so I've always been an HTC kind of guy. any help would be appreciated.

The new syndicate just dropped. Its amazing.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yeah, what he said ^

same here 100%

midNght v4.1 ... has all of what you're looking for.
It has all the standard apps as separate flashable zips. So you start off with a very bare ROM and build it up yourself.
It uses an overclocked kernel 1.2 when using setCPU
It is solid and speedy
its EB13 as well.
(no matter what rom you choose; you should start off by using odin and the eb13 tar that already has recovery and root in it; thread is in the dev area)
Good luck

Viper ROM
The Viper Trinity Rom is amazing

Viper rom frozen has been my favorite so far. Trinity is very hot, small glitch with corp email that keeps me from giving it a 10.

think I'm gonna give midnight a run first and then onto viper if it's not for me, thank you guys for your suggestions

Yeah, the new Syndicate Frozen ROM is great.
It installs overclocked to 1.2ghz, and even when I underclocked with SetCPU, I didn't notice any drop in snappiness at all.
MidnightROM is supposed to be pretty good as well, though I had some Force Close issues (that were probably my fault), so I switched to Syndicate for the time being.

Bonsai 3.0.1, you have to wait a little longer but i hear good things, in the mean time bonsai 3.0.0 is sweet. Fast,no bloat and backs up and restores your data for you. really good.

The new syndicate rom is just as amazing as their di18 release was. Plus! There is no carrier IQ running, which means speed improvements as well as the privacy issues are gone.

oh and one more feature I need now that my fiancee got his atrix last night, I need a working front facing camera, do all the roms mentioned have the FFC working?
And yes I'm very jealous of him having that damned new dual core phone lol.... that's why I text bombed him with a 1000 texts as soon as he got home with it where he lives MUAH HA HA HA HAAAAA!

Another one for Bonsai ROM. The easiest install I've ever done on any ROM and it's snappy and stable.

Just do what I do and try them all. then install the newest update for every one. Then just stick with your favorite. You also learn a lot in the process.

I give my vote for Midnight ROM v4.1
I had this problem as well until a friendly person here explained to me that you have to go back into Clockwork and flash everything extra you want. It comes with only the bare essentials.
Midnight ROM has more work involved but it is great.
it does have a working FFC as well. Someone actually just asked about it in the Midnight ROM thread and the developer was very helpful in answering the question.

Haha! I was thinking about how we are like pigeons- we go to whoever has the bread at the moment.

The best part about the community roms is if one rom finds a new fix it will trickle into the others. We are still in the early stages of eb13. I expect to see some amazing things from our devs in the next month.

This for epic win. thank you very much guys for your help in all this, and I was always a "man not another best rom thread" but now I asked it so have to be quiet. And I prefer to think of myself as a squirrel looking for his next nut when it comes to roms lol

I'm running Bonsai, and they just updated to eb13. I prefer it over viper and the others, it seems faster and has more battery. Also it backs up your data, and removes all bloatware.

[Q] best rom

I have been using Bonsai 4.0 for a long time. I would like to get a gingerbread ROM.
Which one would be the best?
I need good battery life.
I need good GPS.
I need no crashes.
Thanks everyone!

Really your results may vary from others expierence so with that taken into account try Legendary 2.2. I used that for a while and was able to squeeze out around 18+ hours in low signal areas. I don't know if the gps is alright but there is a fix and its not a flashable it has to do with permissions. Also you can add the newest samurai kernel with that. Since your on an old rom I'm sure you have no clue about the mtd and bml partitions available so be cautions on what you download and flash. If your on bml make sure the kernel is as well.
Another suggestion is try cm7 with the samurai kernel. If 4g isn't a deal breaker.

I personally reccommend Clean GB MTD. Its super stable for me and doesn't inlcude to much extra stuff that pulls from you battery. I like something simple and functional so this was my pick. Also if you decide to use it make sure to read about MTD first in android development because it functions quite differently.

I changed from Bonsia to CleanGB MTD over a week ago & REALLY like this new rom.
Much faster & smoother. My vote is for CleanGB MTD......
Do a little reading first though.....

Ok, like the OP, I have been running Bonsai 4.0 from day 1. (I guess it works so well, we never look for upgrade? or maybe the 4.1 brick fiasco scared us off, lol)
Epic 4g flashed to cricket, rooted, CWM 3.0, ext4, goLauncher. fairly happy, but could use some more speed and battery, plus new toys are FUN. So....
Let's have it out. Here's what my research has turned up:
Bonsai 4.1.3 (stable, but froyo based)
vs
Sprint's new OTA GB update (don't really wanna unroot unless there's something amazing about this, plus as a cricket customer, can I even get this update?)
vs
Legendary
vs
CleanGB
vs
SleeperROM
I've heard a bit in this thread about SleeperVSCleanGB, but I'd like more comparisons, and to hear about any other candidates/factors we should be considering (Xtreme? will I lose ext4 by switching to MTD? should I care?)
thx a bunch for your time!

Yes you will lose ext4 by switching to mtd... but you gain yaffs2 which is much more stable than ext4... so no worries there... and I have tried every ei22 rom out and the best bml imo is legendary and the best mtd is viper rom or cleangb mtd.... being a cricket user you probably won't get the ota because sprint is who pushes it out... also if your using bonsais recovery you will need to flash cwm 5.0.2.7 (officially supported for our phones) before trying to upgrade to a custom ei22 rom... you won't lose root by going to any of the custom roms cuz root is already in the roms as you probably know... and imo ei22 is way better than froyo... only problem with ei22 was the gps (I never had any problems but most did) but all of the custom ei22 roms have the gps fix built in... happy flashing!

Personally my favorites are cm7 and miui.us, though I haven't tried any ei22 based roms.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Im on MIUI at the moment, but I've tried quite a few. You can read as many posts about how a certain ROM works. But, you won't really know what suits you and your phone until you try them out!
BTW- I Like MIUI a lot, except for how fast my batteries die(i carry a backup).
I go through both in LESS than 12 hours, easy! Then again, the problem may be with my phone or the charger i'm using, so don't let me discourage you.

I suggest CM7 but I'm bias as I assist with the development.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427645
Really the best thing to do is try all of them and see what you like best each phone reacts differently with different ROM. Many people report CM7 being the best battery wise but others have terrible results.
GPS wise most roms share the same GPS fixes so you shouldn't notice a difference between individual roms.

Cool, thx for the feedback. I will check out Viper, MIUI, and CM7 (been eyeing cyanogenmod for a while, but I thought they hadn't ported for Epic 4G yet?)
Also glad my fear of leaving ext4 is gone....by bye BML, hello MTD!
Now, if we can just get that ICS ported.....

Also seems like I should try the BML roms 1st, since if I want to switch back from a MTD rom, I have to Odin it, yes? (Seems the layers of complexity/risk go apps/themes/launchers/titanium backups/CWM restores/ODIN.... I feel like I want to avoid ODIN except in emergencies, lol)

Odin really isn't that bad as long as you don't use the stock cable and get a good one... a follow all directions to the T! And yes to go back from mtd you do have to odin... but like I said not that bad... I do it at least once a week...

For me, IMHO, it is a toss up between Clean GB and Starsky ROM (both MTD versions).

Just purchased E4GT

Like the title said, I finally jumped on board. I got the Evo at launch, and used it until October. I saw the Epic when it came out, but I thought it was too big, so I decided to wait for the iPhone. Well, long story short, it was a mistake lol. Small screen, locked-down software, etc etc. Well now that bad boy's gonna be up on craigslist and I'm back in the world of Android.
So far, I'm very pleased.
Any rom recommendations? I use to run Calkulin's Evo rom for a while, and I see that he has an Epic rom, so I guess I'll give that a spin first

Just try out his rooted fb17 build with the fb15 modem I've been using it as my daily since it was dropped.
Ics is super awesome on this phone just for the love of god DO NOT USE CWM TOUCH RECOVERY. i don't wanna see another i bricked my phone thread lol.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I would advise against using any of the ICS roms as they are not daily driver status yet (I'm running an fb21 setup so I know).
Go with Blazer 4.0, until more work is done on the ICS ones, this will be your best bet for battery life, stability, and smoothness. I ran Calkulin's for a long time and his rom is good but Blazer definitely gets better battery life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Try them all but some good advice is until you get comfy with flashing and the little changes from the OG Evo to the Epic, I would just flash stock custom roms and leave those ICS roms alone like the poster above me just said. No need to bork your new phone so fast incase you do something wrong. Also stay away from the Touch recovery until they do some more testing on it... Just my opinion

I'd recommend both Calkulin's ROM, and Blazer ROM at the current time (And they're both excellent developers, so i'd think their future releases will be good also)... not to say the other ROM's available aren't good, I just personally haven't used them so I can not speak on something I haven't experienced. I expect a lot of ROM's to be released soon based on ICS, so the ROM recommendation might change soon.
Welcome, enjoy your new phone

Thanks for all the recommendations. Honestly, I haven't had much of a reason to root the device. The main reason I rooted the Evo was to get rid of Sense, and increase battery life.... needless to say I have neither of those problems on the E4GT.
I'll probably just root but stick with the current ROM I'm running so that I don't have to start from scratch. Once the ICS roms become more stable, I'll look into those.

Honestly, that's what I am doing. I have a stock ROM with root and CWM... and I'm observing the ICS progress and waiting for a decent, stable ROM/Kernel/Recovery then I'll make a change. My phone is important to me, so I observe to watch the testing and such before diving in.

I kept it stock myself and its been very well.... Bought my et4g about a week ago also for 200 bones... Frekaing steal basically

There are several Alpha/Beta ICS roms out right now but I would strongly suggest using the older ones for now. Too many people are bricking their phones trying to run ICS. If you must do ICS I would suggest completely restoring your phone back to 100% stock and then installing ICS to a stock/unrooted rom.
I personally am using Calkulin's EL29 (v.2.8.1) rom with the EL29 Kernel and EL29 baseband. It is Gingerbread 2.3.6 but it is insanely stable, extremely responsive; especially if you don't use the TouchWiz but instead use GoLauncher.

I rooted mine so i could delete twiz and all the bloat, then i found team nocturnals dark ics blend rom and flashed it and the fb21 modem and life is good, got rid of all the ugly colors and twiz and fb21 modem increased my 3g data from 100kbps to 1mbps now when i use my og evo it looks dirty from the lower screen quality and its sooooo laggy compared to thia beast

Cm9 ftw! It's a few more steps at the moment to flash and get some fixes for gps and ext sd to work, but it's so beautiful on this phone. I can't stand tw and all the bloat.
