The two most popular right now seem to be myn's and mikfroyo
Sent from my HTC Supersonic

Myn's rom. It should be near the top of the dev forum...it is very popular.

I am currently running mikfroyo and love it. It is a lightweight rom which is nice because it's pretty fast. Myn's is very pretty and has alot of customization options. I think myn's has a bigger following, if that matters. I would recommend both roms but literally depending on my mood I will use myn's or mikfroyo.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

I have MikFroyo 4.5 right now and I think so far I like it more than any other sense ROM, in the past month, I've been on Myn, Ava, Azrael, Evio and MikFroyo (mutliple versions of most of these) and Mik's is def the fastest, although they were all functional and smooth.
However, if you just want roam control, you can use Cyanogen Mod because it has a built in feature that you can switch to roam only. You don't need the app.

Ohh thanks i didn't know that. Well r there any other features u lose with Cm6 that u can use on a sense rom?
Again im new but thanks

EPST, which you probably won't use anyway. AOSP and Sense ROMs are both good in their own ways, and are both equally customizable. MIUI is what I'm running now. Fast, but don't like it that much. Sense based is my preference with both MikFroYo and Myn. I prefer MikFroYo 4.4 over Myn 2.2, but both are really good ROMs. Mik's 4.4 seems a tad faster.
There's nothing really important you'll lose with any ROM (in my opinion anyway) so just flash a few different ones and stick with what you like.
Altho I do think I was getting better battery life with Myn 2.2, but I might be playing around with my phone more getting it back to how I like it so that could be draining juice.

i use Myn rls5 as my daily driver but right now im using Ava Z3 .... i really like Z3 if i could get the battery to calm down.

Yea I ran that one for a little while but I had the same problem. But at the time my phone was doing that anyway so it probably wasn't the rom it was probably me.

Azrael is best sense rom imo. Crazy fast and great on battery.

Not true actually...Roam Control should work with any rom that you use.
However, previous posters are correct in that CM6 has a roam only option built in, it's called "affiliated networks".

MikFroyo for sure. Smooth and fast.

Myn's RLS 5.......I have been a mynion since RLS2......can't ask for more....fast, aesthetically cool.......lots of mods available for flashing.......really can't see using any other Rom...but of course we have to check them all out......Near top of EVO dev forum.

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol
There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.
Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

I'm on the latest Nightly with Snap BFS. Came from the DesireHD rom. That rom is the definition of sick, but unfortunately it's battery life is the worst I've seen on the Evo.

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.
I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

These ROM's have been fast, stable & battery friendly for me.
Sent from my EVO running Ava Froyo v9 with Kings CFS #10.
I like Ava Froyo v9 with LowRider Theme Over It.
Also my rom Sexy Evo Has awesome download speeds, and a sexy rosie, but i dont update it that much.

[Q] SO many ROMS. Which to choose from?!

Hopefully you all can help me out here. I'm a newb. I know I'm going to get yelled at for making a thread, but I feel like that's a silly thing to yell at someone for, especially on a forum with as much activity as XDA.
Essentially, I'm looking for a Stock Android 2.2 ROM for my EVO. I want something where all of the features work and my battery life won't be destroyed.
Can any of y'all recommend anything? :]
Not stock but id recommend cm6.1.2 or any virus rom
Sent from my HTC EVO using Tapatalk
Only reason I've been wanting stock is because I'm really annoyed with how clunky Sense can be at times.
You can try my rom I've been getting good reviews with net 4.3 & ziggy's rom our try myn's

I would suggest you try a few. It's all opinion man. Personally I dislike sense and miui and I love the themes for cm6 but that's me. I tried a bunch before I settled on cm6.
Sent from my Detoxed CM6.1.2 Evo 4G!
first of all, roms are like girls. some men like brunettes, some like blondes. some like flirtey, some like smart, some like both. etc etc etc. you need to experiment sometimes to figure out what you like and dont like.
the roms i would reccomend trying are as follows:
sense:
***caulkins evio 2 : slick silvery-shiney clean theme, very very fast, great battery life, some very nice improvements.
***myns warm twopointtwo : incredible themeing. simply a new phone in terms of looks. nothing goes unthemed, at all. fast, good battery, good improvements, very responsive dev.
**ava froyo z2 : pretty much unthemed, but light blue in alot of normally green places. i'd call it the most intensely under the hood tweaked rom though. this dude knows his codeing. one of the first i know to actually start mesisng with roaming and 4g etc.
** mikfroyo: includes a wierd blurry theme that i personally dont like. everything is very compressed so the rom is absolutely tiny for a sense rom. i for one dont like it but everyone has opinions.
*stock-based roms : like sprint lovers, joeykrim, etc. great for beginners and noobs but not really worth testing. those roms that you need to be there but dont need on your phone.
non-sense:
i've never really tried these. explore. these are ota based without htc sense bloat.
aosp:
these are the beastly, built from the ground up, true developments. these require teams of developers that write huge code to acutally make a great rom using only google's baisic android source. i personally dont liek these but many do.
****cyanogenmod: huge project. very android. very customizable. very evrything. probably going to release gingerbread soon. also wimax coming soon.
**** miui: chinese based, also big project. looks and feels alot like the iphone. called the middle ground, has the smooth cleanness of iphone without the... iphone.
i'm currently using caulkin's evio 2. myns 5 is the other one i love. those are the daily drivers i switch between.
Yeah! Some people like fat girls! Or girls that smell like cheese!
Just start flashing. We all do it.

Cm7 or sense

Ok so I have ran both I am currently running cm7 and I like it but I kinda still like sense so really irk what to choose as a daily drivervwhat do ya think?
sent from Cm7
I use CM7 as my daily, and I find it quite enjoyable. Sometimes I change the screen color just cuz I can.
I've tried both and enjoy sense more. It just seems more organized to me, but I've been using it since it was called touchflo3d on the HTC diamond.
Maybe I just don't like change, lol.
I really liked CM6 and 7 for the customization options but they were just buggie on my phone... maybe it was the kernels I used, maybe some random app or something but neither of them really had everything working correctly that I need/use...like sometimes GPS wouldnt work, sometimes it was the camera, both of which I use on a daily basis....
Sense on the other hand is much easier to find a ROM/kernel combo that allows everything to work as it should, with decent battery life... Has good UI IMO but lacks some of the customization options that CM had... I really couldnt tell an actual difference between the two types in terms of speed, although the "benchmark" tests always said there was a big difference
Just my opinion but I like Sense as a daily and then flash CM for a few days here and there, then nandroid back to my Sense....
I like CM7, but what you're really asking is whether Sense is better than ADW. Personally, I use LauncherPro Plus.
Give MIUI a go.....it's smooth, fast, very different looking....

Have you used any others? Fresh Evio Myns all run pretty fast with no bugs for me.
Personally for a daily driver i use "Sense". mainly because i have 4g in my area and use it. Once CM gets 4g bug free i will probably switch to CM.
I put sense in quotes because i remove everything i can from it including the rosie ui (i use launcherpro) and the htc widgets. Hate the rosie UI but like copy/paste and 4g.
Yea...I've used alot of roms since getting my htc....and I liked myns and caulkins...but mikfroyo with a netarchy kernel has had the best results for myself

I finally took the plunge and flashed MIUI this morning. I played with it for about 2 hours and and then nand restored MikfroYo 4.4 because i missed it.
I just couldn't see myself getting used to the iphone feel and the lack of wiimax really bummed me out. It was pretty fun having such a completely different feel though.

I use CM7 rc4 with adw ex or launcher pro (depending on my mood) You can also find a lot of good themes for it in the themes and apps section. I like it a lot but ymmv. If you wanna stay with sense, Myn's warm is a good rom, but there havent been any updates in a while.
Thanks I will look it up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It really boils down to what is good for your taste. I personally got sick of aosp so I went on a r&d hunt to get these sense roms to have respectful battery life. The most popular roms are usually in the 1st two pages of the dev section. Read them and see what jumps at you.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I am sort of old school and don't care much for a bunch of customization. Rather, I prefer good battery life and system speed coupled with minimal if any bloat/stock apps that aren't useful to me. I am stuck on CM 6.1.2 as an aosp rom (don't care for the appearance of cm7/gingerbread, I like vanilla a lot) and FreshRom for Sense when I feel like it. Both roms give me great battery life (24 hours+ with minimal-moderate usage) and are both very stable, no force closes/crashes. I don't mess with different kernels, I just use the ones included with the rom to begin with.
As has been said though, play around with a bunch of them until you find something you like.
If you're new to ROMs, I would at least check out, Miui, CM7 (or variants of, like destroyer), VaelPak, MikFroyo and anything by Kings or Myn. For sense ROMs, just look at screen shots and see which one you like.
Thanks guys I appreciate it
Is it ok to flash different roms a few times a day? One time I did a NAND backup cuz I didnt like the rom I was on and my phone got messed up, so im nervous now.
I want to get rid of the bloatware and get good speed and battery life.

Which 3.0 Rom

Im not familiar with the new 3.0 roms so I was trying to get some general opinions on which ones are good, stable, fast, good battery life, etc.
Everything I currently have is in my signature.
Have a link to Pyramid? I wasnt able to find it in Google.
I am pretty sure this is the Pyramid ROM he was talking about.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171892&highlight=pyramid
But I am currently on Synergy and I am really liking it, it took about a day for it to settle down but now its working like a charm.
Any others?
Also does anyone have any experience with the ROM in my signature? Id be interested in a side by side comparison of the two.
Synergy is really nice.
Seems to be less than a handful of worthwhile ROM's in the 3.0 arena.
