How can I make my phone faster without losing features? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just started flashing but it seems with all these roms something is wrong. I really just like the roms for the speed. But everyone has cons like no front camera on Miui or no mms just random things. Does Cm6 have anything like cons?

Well as far a CM no 4g or hdmi. But I've used Cm, MIUI, Fresh, Myns, ect... found out I really like having sense based...for now. With sense based you can easily update pri's and prl's and access all the phone ## codes unlike an aosp rom . And you can still use 4g and hdmi and such, pretty much everything that comes included with stock but enhanced. If you havent tried Myn's, give it a shot, I think its pretty zippy also your kernel can play alot in the speed of your phone. Hope something in that mess of words helps.
Edit: also thought i'd add, I use Myn's Sense Based rom but use Launcher Pro Plus instead of stock rosie launcher. I find it much more customizable and better looking, imo.

Thanks a lot. Sorry im really new to all this but what's a kernal? Like in normal words what's it do? And do they take away hdmi 4g camera or anything?

As of now all sense roms (myns,fresh,mikfroyo, etc.) Have everything working. The camer,camcorder,4g,hdmi....everything works. They just remove bloatware and speed up there system. And most come with bonuses like usb tethering. Stick to those and youll have everything you want. And yes the kernels are what make everything work. Once aosp kernels support 4g,camera etc. then they can make it work in there aosp rom (cyan,miui). The best way to describe kernels is....the kernel is the motor in your car. Some are v8s that are fast but use more fuel(battery). Some are v6s right. Some kernels (motors) wont run well in your car(phone) some will work awesome...
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76

Also, every phone is different. Not every Rom will act exactly the same, nor every kernel...you kinda hafta flash for yourself and see which works best. For me, mikfroyo is the fastest sense-based Rom I have used, for you Myn's or vaelpak or something else may work best, you'll just hafta flash and see.

Also depending on where you live and what you use your phone for plays a factor. I like MIUI or Cyanogen because of the awesome features AND I don't really have a need for 4g or HDMI.
I've recently used Myn's 2.2 and Fresh 3.5 for long periods of time. Both are EXTREMELY reliable and stable, and I think they would work fine with any phone. Like r.storm85 mentions, it comes down to a good kernel that will work well on your phone. All phones are different. For example, my phone somehow keeps rebooting with a "Fresh rom/KingKlick #10 and up kernel" combo.
So find something that works for you. Also remember, it takes a few days for your phone, rom, and kernel to start working together, so don't give up on something only after a few hours.

Think of the kernel as the heart of the operating system. It's the base of the OS that everything else is built off of. Modified kernels offer many different options. Some allow you to underclock to conserve battery life, others allow you to overclock to squeeze even more power out of that snapdragon processor, and some others allow you to change and modify options that were unalterable or hidden in the stock kernel (like cyanogen allowing you to force your phone to roam only).
Just as with anything there are pro's and cons to all the different mods. Just do a lot of reading (sounds like you already have a good start) and testing with the different kernels and roms out there. Some combos work great together, some just don't play well with one another at all. Eventually you will find one that suits you, and tinkering is what makes the android platform so amazing. Have fun, flash safe, and always always make good nandroid backups.

Seems like a very nice and smooth rom. Launcher pro is supper smooth with the rom. Going to try kings aosp kernel. Stock kernel only allows over clock to 1.15, no 1.13 option, which is not stable for me.

It's apparently based off of CM6's source, then tweaked. I was going to post on here about it earlier today, but didn't have time.
I'm wondering if anyone can drop a compare/contrast of the different AOSP builds available for the DInc now.
I'm guessing here, but Ruby is as stock as you can get (until they change that), CM6 has some tweaks, UD has more tweaks and is built off CM6, and ShadowROM is built off CM6 and has tweaks.
Almost makes me wonder if someone should come along and pull them *all* together into some massive super-AOSP ROM... which from what ShadowROM's description reads, that's what they're trying to do.
I am trying this one right now...and looking that it has koush kernel, I suspect it also has the reboot/shut down issue... I really hope not. Personally, I don't care if they all pull together, or individually...but the reboot/shut down issue has been my biggest culprit on CM...and I depend on my phone. Ruby has been awesome...so if this one doesn't work out, I have something to fall back to.

Same here. I have to give up on AOSP roms for a while if I don't want to miss any calls while the phone reboots itself or goes into la la land. At least Redemption is very stable for me and good on the battery.
I can't wait to try this rom out. Does anyone know if it has the stock froyo launcher? Also mflops and radio would be nice.

TY Grikshanks for saving me on that one. AOSP vs. Sense-based ROMs and related discussion are starting to bug me. Especially when talking about AOSP kernels vs. Sense...
However, now that it's been mentioned, I did forget about IncredibleDoes' AOSP based ROMs. So thus far AOSP ROMs for the DInc are: ID's, CM's, UD/BD's, Ruby, and ShadowROM. I hope I'm not missing anything else... and UD/BD, CM, and Shadow are all based off each other. Ruby and ID are unique. Though I know all the devs talk to each other, I don't know the details on what is mutual or exclusive between them (ie if kernels are interchangeable).

Weird, I've been on 6.0.2, stock kernel with SetCPU settings as:
Screen off = 384/245 interactive priority 90
Temp > 40C = 768/128 conservative priority 85
Charging/full = 998/128 interactive priority 80
Batt < 25% = 691/128 conservative priority 50
And been doing fine throughout the day. No reboots on calls... only thing is that playing Parallel Kingdom sucks battery down pretty fast. Also makes the phone rather warm. But I've been on CM6 pretty much since it came out stable, skipped .01 and went straight to .02. Haven't tried Adrynalyne or KK's kernels yet.

From what I can tell looking at source code, it doesn't seem to be forked from anything. I'm guessing they pulled Launcher2 and modified the source as they see fit, so it's roughly based off stock froyo launcher. But I'm still learning how to play with source/github/etc.
I don't *think* any ROMs modify the radio. Are you asking what radio is required to use it? Personally I just use the newest leaked one, haven't had problems yet. And mflops should be similar to CM6's, as they share the stock kernel (and codebase).
Don't really know why people are so obsessive about benchmarks. Give it a try, if you don't like it because it's laggy or whatever, nandroid back. *shrug*

UD/CM/Shadowrom arent just "based off each other". Looking outside the scope of the incredible, Cyanogenmod is king of AOSP considering its support of multiple devices. Crystal Clear is starting to make its way out being that the incredible is their second device. most everyone knows the deal with UD, but i dont know a thing about shadowrom. in that respect, pretty much all of these roms are based off of CM, because all of these devs, including BlackDroid, consult with the CM team to create their roms, and some use parts of it. With that in mind, youll see that just about all of these roms use Koush's kernles from CM. Most AOSP built roms for a single device can swap kernels for the most part, since most of them dont really differentiate much in the OS anyways. The only real differences between these roms is mostly the optional built-in customizations they add in settings and the launchers they use out of the box, as well as whatever theme they add in sometimes if any. CM sets a good bar with full status/notification customizing from the settings menu, along with the performance, input, sound, display settings etc. Ruby sort of followed suit but swapped status bar customizing for other miscellaneous tweaks. BD just compiled a crap load of tweaks made by other people and combined them into his rom, yet it still lacks the status bar tweaking. Shadowrom seems to have fully incorporated it along with some of his own additions, but those didnt seem to work on my phone when trying them out. couldnt even see what was in the Misc. settings cus it FC'ed on me.
for the launcher used in shadowrom, yes it is the launcher from the Nexus. it looks like he smoothed it out quite a bit though.
the only roms that will upgrade your radio are those that come leaked from HTC themselves. No rom should "modify" your radio. if anyone has tried so and youre thinking about flashing it, dont.
FYI:

UD: Yes
Shadowrom: Yes
Ruby: No
Cm6 has some stuff in it forked from Ruby. I wouldn't say Cm6 is based off of Ruby because of that. Would you?
Ruby is its own project.
cm did not invent aosp, and have their own source tree.
Ruby does not use that tree.
1st big issue I see - it doesn't scan the built in memory for images or music. Not sure how the "three testers" they were using missed this one.
Been running this for 2 days now. I flashed Kings AOSP kernal over the one that came with this rom. Runs very smooth and stable. Only one small issues... couldnt update to newest version of google street view (newest version of google maps comes installed with this rom), and camcorder does not do 720p. Camera is 8mp though. Great stable rom. Quadrant scored in the 1400 range with no overclocking on king kernal. High 1500 range @ 1.15 ghz.

For those people having trouble with their 8gb internal memory being recognized, a great music player that someone else on this forum recommended called mortplayer recognizes all of my media that is on my internal memory and plays all my music without a flaw. Mortplayer is works great on ruby, CM6, and shadowrom, those being the only AOSP roms that I've tried so far! Just throwing it out there for anyone with media on the internal memory

Fresh or sprint lovers?

I don't know which to use I only care about battery life lol all roms feel the same to me, I would use sprint lovers but I don't want it to have the notification power control, anyone know how to use it?

Wow...Is there a question in there?
All the ROM's feel the same to you? Try Warm or Cyanogen. Best ROM's ever.
not quite sure what you are asking here... i'll be vague as well... use which ever ROM you try out that you like the best
try vaelpak rom, www.vaelek.com , you won't find better dev. support
even has a special settings app for it in the market for free called vaelpak settings check out the screen shots in market
Best battery life and the best rom is MIUI, hands down
If you want sense then mikfroyo is the way to go

If you are only looking at those 2 roms i would say fresh. You say you dont want notification bar power controls.... almost every custom rom now has this.
Calk's Evio rom does have a mod that you can flash to remove it. It probably will work for any sense rom but i would nand droid first since this is untested. Additionally if the rom you use is themed it will likely remove the theme. Personally i am a fan of Evio and The New Koni's Elite Rom is out standing. Almost all sense roms are going to feel the same the fact is they are built off the same base. The only real difference is tweaks made for performance and the theme they put on. The tweaks wont visibly see they are behind the scenes the theme you will.
your last option is to read the post on how to modify the framework to get the notification bar work in reverse and remove it yourself.

I would totally disagree with that statement.
I for one love having an app drawer instead home screens with blank spots, and 100% working bluetooth, and receiving MMS, and using HDMI...but then again that is just me.
MIUI is a new and exciting concept, and every release they put out i flash it on my phone until i realize that it's still broken to the point that i don't want to use it anymore (usually 1 day), and then i flash back to FRESH or some other sense rom with a SBC kernel.
Oh and working USB tether is a MUST for me! Which MIUI does NOT do...at least not with WinXP machines.
I agree MIUI is a very different rom but i would not go so far as saying it is the best rom. In fact i dont think anyone can say what the best rom is because it is all personal preference.
Personally i didnt like MIUI
i totally agree. i need to start cooking roms. cuz every rom i try, even stock i have something visual or performance wise wrong. but i did enjoy fresh over sprint lovers fyi
K thanks guys sprint lovers wouldn't boot up

Whoa, all roms feel the same to you? I'm almost blown away by this comment. How long have you been using the Evo and messing with roms?
I agree with someone else here, MIUI is my favorite. Ava has my favorite sense rom.
God, so many great ROMs! I have a small selection that I put on my phone and those that I root for others.
My preferred custom Sense ROMs (not necessarily better or worse than any others) are EViO and Azrael, each slightly different but both great. Using EViO tonight.
Preferred Stock-ish ROM would be StockTurbo. Perfect for people like my wife!
Sense/AOSP tween ROM is Vaelpak..am excellent, very eccentric ROM.
Current fav AOSP, and what's backup up in my nandroid folder, is KingsROM Ultra Blue HAZE GBv10. I know, its a GB ROM, but I haven't had any issues with it, I haven't found anything that didn't work, and damn I love the GB cursor finger in text input fields!
This probably doesn't help anyone, but thank you for your time anyway.

[Q] EVO 4G ROMs

A few weeks ago, I bought a used EVO off ebay and it came in good condition but had the 2.3.3 ota update and was locked out till Revolutionary came along and allowed me to s-off and get SU access. This was all done with the intention of trying a few other custom roms with Sense 2.x, 3.x and AOSP. After having tried, played with used and read about various roms on XDA for the EVO, are there ANY roms that work as well or better then the stock rom????
To me is seems more like what are u willing to deal with or live without ranging from HDMI, GPS, 4G, Camera issues. I've used 2 roms that can even keep a folder I created on my main screen with a few apps in that folder from removing those apps when I reboot or shut down my phone. Is there and AOSP rom that has more then 5 home screens, wereas the sense roms have 7.
I love the newer mail app that will display all your accts on 1 screen, I have yet to find any ROM with sense 3.0 that can or will display all the google calendars that I have access to view. The carosel of the home screens is the best part of the custom ROMS.
While I truely do appreciate the awesome and very hard work that the developers do to make theses roms to add functionality to our EVO's why would you put something our that isn't ready for daily use??
Are their any Custom ROMs that have ALL the pieces working???
I get where you're coming from, because i cant keep a ROM knowing that something isnt working properly, plus i dont like getting all fancy with the ROMs i like em simple and the sense feel.

You know, Wi-Fi isn't necessarily faster than 4g. I'm not trying to be a troll though, just explaining it so you don't have the wrong impression.

Looking For A.....

.....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

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

yeah I tried Synergy+GodMode & had problems with it...about to flash Synergy RLS1 & see how that does...heard it's decent.
If you don't need 4G, use MIUI
I have a real good step by step in my signature. Be-LIEVE me, I've had every ROM there is, and I used to HATE MIUI, but now, I can't see running anything else
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.
MYN's Warm 2.2 RLS 5
Never had a problem with it.

Read the entire OP, so you can learn all the nuances and head over to miui.us for all the support you'd ever need.

ROM suggestions?

I am looking for a fast, battery efficient and stable daily driver. I have tried probably close to a dozen different ROMs where each had a feature I liked, the bugs drew me away. Currently, I am running CM7 with 2.3.7 gingerbread. I like it but it freezes and reboots every now and then (seemingly whenever I go to use the phone, sometimes loses user data on first boot after a freeze up). I am running low on patience with flashing and reflashing different ROMs, pulling my user apps back and all that jazz, was looking if anybody had suggestions on a great ROM that fits the bill. I would like to use Sense, but obviously am not grounded to that option. Thanks in advance for anyone looking to help out.
If you're not crazy about 4G, then MIUI is the ROM for you. It's stable (according to personal experience; All the bugs people ramble about are obsolete), customizable, and fast. They're currently incorporating ICS keyboard and market into the latest version.
MIUI has been my smoothest, bug free, battery effiecient, as well as most customizable ROM so far. Run it with savagedzen SBC, and I get insane battery life. Was at 18 hours moderate use at barely 51%.

Swagged out Stock
I'm using Swagstr's Swagged Out Stock ROM. Based on sense 1.0, it's been stable, fast and everything works. As I need my evo for work, speed, stability and functionality was key and so far this one has been great.
I would go with mikg primexl 3D or MIUI

click on the link in my sig to see all updated aosp roms/kernels seeing as you are running an aosp rom now then the thread should be helpful. also feel free to ask questions or leave comments. hope it helps ^_^
Thanks for the responses guys, ill research each of these. 4g is not in my area so im not really crazy about it. What does the free internal memory look like on these ROMs? The one fallback of the EVO is only 1GB of internal memory.

Its always a personal choice but judging by the post.. I would say to go for Myn RLS 5. This is a froyo but you can always get some gingerbread stuff like launchers, keyboard (extremely fast and responsive) and titlebar mods etc.
Do the radio updates and make sure you are running suggested kernels on that forum thread. Switch your apps to SD card and you should be good to go.
