Cm7 or sense - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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....

I'm in the same dilemma, cm7 is awesome but can't stand some of the bugs.....i like my rom to run like a cadillac and mikfroyo is the only rom that runs fast with no bugs

I'm currently running EViO with ADW.Launcher and I'm very pleased. It isn't as light as CM7, but seems very stable and the battery life (1.8) is nice.

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.

Can people who rooted with unrevoked use Cm7 now?

Best sense rom?

I just found out that roam control only works with sense based roms? It doesn't make sense lol but im new what r some good sense roms. I just want one that's fast...
A link would great... Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

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.

New ROM..

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.

How do you like it??
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.
I just downloaded xxxVirusxxx's gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.0 and I cant see my icons is there any way to fix this?

I was on end of days but the black on black text issue was driving me nuts.. I was hoping that there would be a new rom out now that HTC release GB

best rom opinion

This is super subjective but im curious to see what the majority is....
right now im on virtuous 1.0.2 with the oc to 15xx.... but the last while my phone has been laggy as all can be, lots of programs such as sms and email etc is always freezing and crashing....
so since im switching up to sgs2 in a few days, wondering what ppl think is the best overall rom for our phones....
plan on giving this to my wife, so i want something with the least amount of bs, and great speed, fluid feeling, with good battery
Thanks all
Man there are couple of these already...

If by "couple" you mean "100,000" then yes.
OP, if you want a basic, stable ROM (aka not sense) you can check out an AOSP ROM like stock Gingerbread (I've used the one from Xboarder) or CM7.

I like the flinny cm10 nightly. he is still in development but its got a tone of promise!

What ROM do you use?

Post what ROM you are currently using and why
I'm running Synergy RLS1 w/ Warm theme on my Evo
I like it because it comes along with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, and the developers community is HUGE.
I love sense but I've been rocking decks aosp rom for a while just because of full HDMI mirroring and battery life is great.

Cool! Yeah, battery life would definently be a factor, I barely push out 3 hours on what I'm using now.
CM 7 Nightlies.
I'm using the same rom loving the 3.0 lockscreen (synergy rom latest)
My Oreo Evo 4g G-bread
Currently running Synergy RLS1 but I am thinking of taking a look at MikG. I like the Sense 3.0 lock screen and the Sense apps. I have not tried out any AOSP on my Evo but my (deactivated) Hero runs CM7. I may have to check out Deck for the battery life.
I've been looking into MIUI, not quite sure though. I like how It's more simple, and seemingly cleaner. Yet I'm not a big fan of iOS, which it strongly resembles.

Decks Rom gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3b. This is really the only ROM I've had luck with! I've tried just about everyone else's ROMS and I like the Sense ROMS but after about 2 or 3 days or so I start getting FC's for no apparent reason for my phone process, then sense, then android system, etc...
So until I figure out why I am having so much issues with Sense I'll keep using Decks ROM!!
Deck 1.2.1 with Tiamat SBC kernel.
Light, fast, and great battery life.
CyanogenMod 7.1. Like the stripped down feel of it, and seems to run smoother than 7.0.3.
Still some bugs here and there, but it IS still in development.
Synergy's starting to work pretty well, though. Just hate the lag from Sense.

Decks ROM? Never heard of it, I'll be sure to check it out though I used Synergy for a few days and it worked wonders for me (love the animations in the Warm theme), hopefully no issues arise.
Since root I've flashed five or six different roms. I kinda like a little from all of them but I keep coming back to the stock I did a nandroid of. I think it runs smoother and faster than the other roms. But that is my opinion.

What Rom should I use? (Please read its not what you thing)

IDK what ROM to use?
Cy mod 7- it has a sucky camera and it feels unstable at times
Stock ROM- it can't display all emails and is slow at times
Incredible 2 HD/3D- it is laggy and isn't smooth. I just don't like it in general.
MIUI- I DIDN'T BUY A DROID TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE AN IPHONE!!!!!!
I really like the stock Rom but why can't I read messages sent from my dear old aunt!!!! And stock has an amazing camera. Cy mod is almost perfect but I like sense and the camera sucks. Anything made be newroot is amazing but very laggy and too much animation. It always feels artificial. MIUI is an ios for android Rom. But if I wanted ios I would have bought an iPhone.
Can anyone help me decide?

Well, if you like cm7, but want a better camera, try the MIUI camera on cm7
Or liquid smooth 3.2, it's aosp with no problems for me, not sure bout the camera but like he said I hear good things bout the miui one, the one in liquid works good for me can't tell a difference between it and sense. If u do choose liquid and want to undervolt u will have to use aeros .7 bfs test build as the stock kernel let's u overclock with the built in application but not undervolt, and if you flash any other kernel other than the one I mentioned it will break sound

i'm either sounding like a broken record, or a fanboy, but SkyRaider Zeus has your request in spades. i share some of your points and tried a few ROMS out, about a week at a time before switching, currently settling on SRZ at the moment. the more i use it, the more hesitant i am to bother trying anything else. i can't find anything to complain about. perhaps in time my opinion will change, but it's doubtful. this ROM continues to amaze. it feels stock Sense, but has all the extras i have been looking for/using in the Market.
/fanboy
Miui is nothing like the iPhone. Have you tried it? Give it a week and sop hating lol. And how is cm 7 not stable.
PS miui with go launcher is the bomb.

Same dilemma here. Aerovan' s cm7 kang with his. 8 kernel is a beast , but the camera (especially indoor, low light) is subpar. Hd 2 is not quite as speedy but it has a great camera and very polished interface (although I hate the 3.5 dialer).
Really can't make up my mind.

The thing that everyone likes about MIUI the most is the ability to customize every little detail of your theme on the fly. The stock theme does look similar to iphone but it does not run like an iphone.
Try it out with different themes that people made and you'll see exactly why a lot of people like to run it.
Why don't you try a newer rom of newt's? Which version are you running on his Inc 2 HD/3D. You could always try mikrunny and if you don't like the animations, turn them off. Turn off the 3d features, it runs better that way anyway.

Dude... its the best android experince ive ever had. aside from one time when the screen did not wake, its been solid up time for me for the first week running it... more than i can say about my x2.
fwiw, i tried core but did not like it. way too much graphical wizbang... it was slow compared to cm7
What issue did you have with cm7? I just built my own for my phone and didn't have any issues. I do use aeroevan's .7 kernal instead of stock cm7, but i've never had any issues.
I've run miui for the past 6 months with no issues, but i do use aeroevan's .7 bfs kernal. For Sense, I would run Virtuous or Zeus. I recommend using a different recovery too. I really recommend 4ext recovery. It blows cwm out of the water. 4ext has a beta touch recovery that works really well.
Sense: ZEUSSS!!!!
If you're feeling a little daring, ICS.
I have try everything but for some reason I keep finding myself back in miui there just nothing like it every sense rom looks the same to me no matter who made it miui has a million themes but if I was gonna run sense Mik runny is awesome

TSM Pool Party. I think I've tried nearly ever ROM, and it is a pure omfgb rom with TSM mods. I do like the polished roms but ill admit every sense 3.0 rom felt extremely heavy and idk why. virtuous I believe felt the heaviest. just too much, lagged a little. the amount of time I've spent on all the roms, would probably be newts HD, I believe rls 1.1 but of was very smooth. I then went to ICS 4.0.3 Christmas beta. everything was perfect on it, but obviously no camera. yet. I used to measure with cm7 but idk...not my thing anymore. just my input, sorry to rant. but yes I do like my TSM

I simply used Titanium Backup while running MIUI and backed up the camera app. Then I went into my daily driver (which is Liquid Smooth) and restored the backed up MIUI camera app (app only, no data), again using Titanium.
I was running Mikrunny for several weeks, if you're looking for Sense I think it's the best out there. But like another poster said upthread, Liquid Smooth really does live up to its name. Until we get an ICS ROM that's suitable as a daily, I'm sticking with Liquid Smooth.
