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.

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

In my opinion I am using Damage Control 3.5 Final... but you have to fully rooted (have unlocked your NAND) for this ROM to install. So if you used toast's method to ROOT you should be fine. I have excellent battery life and havent had any problems witht this ROM. Wifi tether works (I used it yesterday to jailbreak an iPad at bestbuy).
I'm defiantly full nand unlocked.does that rom have sense installed? I use launcher pro. Also hows your ram on that one? On fresh typically have about 175-200 free.

Yes it does have Sense.. .and Internal Phone storeage is about 300MB before I installed all of my apps...
I use CyanogenMod, the nightly builds (it's gotten a lot faster than RC1 since a few days ago).
Personally there are some aspects of Sense I miss... Mostly the text select for copy/paste, since vanilla Android's implementation sucks, but overall I prefer CyanogenMod more, hands-down. Also, I trend to average around 180-200MB free RAM.
As far as I know, if you don't want any trace of Sense on your phone, CyanogenMod is your only real choice, since it is built from the ground up on Android's sourcecode.
But with any other ROM, Sense can be disabled.
The two I'd recommend would be CyanogenMod or Baked Snacks. I haven't tried Damaged Goods though... I'll have to try it out.
Oh, and just so you know, CyanogenMod currently doesn't have 4G, if that matters to you.

for DC 3.5 you can very easily Ban sense in DCONFIG if you dont want it. I ban all sprint apps, sense, and launcher in the config so that all i am left with is launcher pro.
This lets me have my 4g, hdmi, fm radio. Still lets me have 2.2 and gets rid of sense. plus DC is an amazing rom anyway.
So i am currently using virtous 0.7.2 and i really like it but am also curious about some of the other roms availble what about cynogen what is that rom like in comparison?

Back up and try it. Decide for yourself. Everyother day or so someone starts a rom war post. You should go look at some of them.

CyanogenMod is like stock froyo on steroids with out any of the sense features or eye candy. Its a really good rom though. I go back and forth between the two.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
You are gonna have to decide that for yourself..each ROM has its own pros and cons
I echo the sentiment of "Try some out for yourself" but I had CM6.0 on my G1 before moving to my G2 and I liked it. Very stable but the Market never quite worked right (FC's, apps not DLing for whatever reason, etc), other than that I loved its customizability. It ran pretty quickly on my G1 as well, for whatever it's worth.
Just got the EVO. Had a hero rooted with cm7. Wanna know the simplest way to root this phone. My knowledge of rooting is quite good, so I know what I'm doing. Also, what're the best overall sense and aosp roms that just work. Is miui a good rom? kernels with good speed and battery? One more thing.. my data speed is like half as fast as it was on my rooted cm7 hero, is there a way to fix that?

Hey I'm using the ultimate droid rom for the g2. And it must have got discontinued because I xant find it anywhere. So I'm looking for a replacement rom. Looking for vanilla, no sense (ew). And something with a good kernal maybe the 1.8 or 1.9OC? Anyways looking for better preformance and not a downgrade from what I'm using.

what do you mean by you can't find it anymore...?

I left ud for pyromod. The dev can be a **** though(yeah I said it) . But now I'm on the gingerbread leak for the g2 and perfect after adding a few things. Pyro is good, xboarders stuff is good too, stock gingerbread rocks.
You are aware that xda isn't the only place in the world to get roms right? If you used this crazy new invention called google you wouldn't of even made the discontinued statement

can anyone please tell me how this UD rom is better than Cyanogen?

It's got some different options, not sure if it's better than CM7 though. I would wholeheartedly recommend meXdroid or Pyromod here; both are CM7 variants that have great themes with some tweaks to CM7's base. Users of UD would probably feel right at home with either.
Guess I should try this Pyro mod

Also your not going to find any rom comming with a 1.8ghz standard. Thats for advanced users and you need to make it work yourself so you dont fry your phone. I would recomend you stick to 1.5ghz tops. You wont notice any difference anyway unless your trying to compete with quad/linepack scores....
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well I'm just looking to have it. I run my G2 at 1ghz. I just like having the ability to have more.

hi i am giving my older sister my beloved EVO and need help deciding what rom i should install for her. She isnt a tech person. battery life is very important. it needs to have bloat ware removed. also a stable rom is a must as she lives a few states over and i wont be able to reflash and all that good stuff for her. thanks

After my ROM hoping days, I've stuck with the Energy ROM. It works quite nice for me, plus it looks really good.
No one said Miui....I'm shocked.
It looks like the iphone, works great, you can throw savage zen on it, and it auto updates itself.
But to each their own.
Swagged Out Rom (Sense) is pretty stable and fast.
