Hey guys,
I need some help here, im trying to figure out which ROM is the best for my needs. Im a heavy user I use a lot of texting, email and social networking. I do have exttended battery, so battery is not a problem for me. I don't mind if the Rom is not Wimax (4g) friendly but ill love to have Wimax(4g) because I pay that extra $10 so why not have it. Thanks in advance...

I have used Ava, Azrael, CM6 and 7, Myn , MikFroyo and EViO. I think all of those would work for you. I would take a look at some of the different screen shots and see what you like and go from there.
If I were you, I would try at least CM, MikFroyo and EViO, but they're all good. There is a CM6.1.2 Alpha with wimax too, so all of those options will have it.

Thanks a lot, I'll try them tonight. Another question what version of CM should I try ? My co-worker told me CM is really good.
Edit : I'm looking for a STABLE release of CM but I can't find anything.
I've used CM v6, and MikFroyo v4.4, and both have been great. I prefer MikFroyo because of the speed and stability. Its easy to use as well. Plus CM doesn't support 4G (last time I checked) and Mikfroyo v4.4 does with no issues. So that's a big plus in my book.

The CM with WiMax (still Alpha) is 6.1.2. CM7 is still going through the motions but doesn't have WiMax support yet. The WiMax Alpha for CM6.1.2 is super stable.
Best thing to do is just start checking em out though.

6.1.2 is there last stable release. You also need to download the gapps for that rom. (Called Google addon)

I love miui. Thats what i use. Very nice, smooth VERY easy to theme. You can even take different parts from different themes... amazingness.
there is a stable cm6.1.2 ON THE XDA ONLY by toastchf and shinzul. worth a shot. works very nicely.

As others have said, stable CM is 6.1.2. I would try the Wimax Alpha 3 if you're in a 4g coverage area. I had both reg and Wimax Alpha 2, no problems on either. I've been on EViO the longest, but I just flashed the latest Miui to see what was up.
It's pretty, but I'll probably go back to EViO, or Mik 4.5 when the stable comes out, or a CM7 Alpha with Wimax whenever that drops. I have a hard time staying one any one longer than a day or too.

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 guess we can just delete all the other ROM threads then too..
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.
Calkulin's 1.3.1
Best rom I found. Myn's warm is nice too but I prefer calkulin's.

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.

If you don't want Sense, probably not. I'm currently running the CM6 + Wimax alpha, which I really like.
As far as Sense ROMs go, Calkulin's EViO is my favorite.
FWIW, you're probably better off asking these kinds of questions in the Q&A forum.
I am also running alpha2. Mikfroyo is my fav sense rom. Sooperfast feel.
CM7 Nightlies are coming out tonight. You could try one of those once the first EVO build drops.
I seemed to have nothing but problems with CM6. There was a lot of churn with the different versions of ClockWork recovery, but even when I used RA Recovery I still had issues. I finally gave up and switched to VaelPak 3.0 with the netarchy 4.1.9.1 Kernel and all is well. Seems to be a solid combo for me at least.
On a semi related note will cm6 themes be compatible with cm7?

Agree that Calkulin's ROMs are very stable. He cooks some very nice ROMs. He is pretty reliable about updates and addressing issues. EViO line of ROMs are quick and they are stable. Have had the pleasure of using Cal's kitchens back in the WinMo days...he is one of the best!!

First off, wrong forum. This belongs in Q&A.
Second, this is all but insulting. There are at least 5 good ROMs on every page. Click on some and look at them. Are you too lazy to do the work yourself?
Finally, here are a list of ROMs that are all very good ROMs in my opinion. I hate to even respond to someone who's too lazy to do their own work, but I think the devs deserve credit for making other VERY GOOD ROMs:
Salvage 0.9.6 <-- My current, 2.3, most stable ROM I've ever used

Frost is great, but needs to be updated

Hello, I have had my Evo sense September of last year. I ran fresh for the longest time then kinda got tired of sense and then used Cyanogenmod 6.0-6.1 and had used that for quite a while. Now that I have unofficial 4G in my area...what is a good rom to use? I have tried fresh and it works all right. I'm looking for ether a sense based rom or AOSP...I want recommendations and a little info about your experiences.

How fast and reliable is it compared to a sense rom??? I love AOSP but for some reason 4G/3G speeds are a lot slower then any sense rom I've ever used
Back story: I know the difference between most ROMs and have used MIUI, CM, and Myn's ROMs. I've been running CM7 lately and with this GPS still broken, yes I even did the fix by switching back to a sense based ROM; it helped for awhile, and the ROM just getting... stale to me I want to try a new one out. I liked MIUI when I was using before but with 4G finally in my area I don't wanna to drop it just for MIUI.
Question: What ROM would you recommend?
SalvageMod and/or Synergy when it is released to all. Give VaelPak a try, too. You should be impressed.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Thanks. I'll keep an eye out on the first two and will look into VaelPak.
Vaelpak is a great ROM. I used it as a daily for a while. I haven't been on his website lately, so I don't know if he's updated it in the last few months or not.
To me, the best Sense ROM is Koni's. Never had a FC or found anything that didn't work perfectly. And, it's stunningly beautiful.
The Giger ROM I'm using now is really cool, but after 2 weeks, I'm starting get a few minor FC's, which I notice happens with a lot of ROMs. Like they start to breakdown after awhile
Yeah the best sense rom to me is also konis elite series but right now im running the rom end of days.

I never ran EOD, but Magnus's Destroyer was really the best CM7 ROM, I ran. Everything worked well, and that was months ago, plus he themes for it were outstanding.
I might try the Missed Me ROM, but no one's giving much feedback on it.

If you want to try a Sense 3.0 ROM, I've been using Sac's Kingdom ROM V4 for the past few days now and it is absolutely amazing. With the new GB kernel out and new radios, I've been getting very good battery life and its running really fast. Definitely worth a try.

Sent from my PC36100
A stable build is just that; an RC [release candidate] is a stable build where everything works, no bugs. A nightly is a nightly/weekly build that has newer add-ons to enhance the rom, though sometimes there are occasional bugs, that are worked out in the next build.
So if I try the cm7 180 nightly there will me new features in it compared to the cm7 RC I'm running or will it be more the same

The link shows everything that was added in each nightly, and I would recommend updating to a newer nightly. Though you will need to backup your apps+data along with launcher settings, as you'll have to install it under a fresh instal [full wipe].

Try gingerbread-evo-deck.
I used to use CM7 and it drove me nuts because I always felt I had to flash the latest nightly, and I did! I got so tired of reflashing, and recovering from buggy nightlies, so I decided to try Deck's GB ROM. It is AOSP like CM7 (I think it's based off of it as well), but slimmed down and faster. I get better battery life, better performance, and there aren't crazy nightlies as much as CM7. It's very stable and nice to not feel like I have to flash another nightly.
