Tried most all of those, absolutely love Warm 2.2

I love a few different roms, but I continue to either run CM7+WiMax, or CM6 + Wimax. Depends on if I am in a froyo or GB mood.

I tried using CM7 cause I wanted the the Ginger Slut experience but it didn't do anything for me. Couldn't get 3G to work, 4G didn't work, was able to change the skin once and then couldn't find out how to again afterward, it just didn't work for me.
SAC's HD port is pretty sharp too but when I tried it wasn't quite stable enough for me to use it as a daily, its probably much better by now though.
For now I'm sticking with my own version of stock ROM.

Myns 2.2 rls5, tried others really like this one so far.

Same, im using Netarchy's 4.3.2 cfs, more-havs kernel and I get 7-9 hours on very heavy use (50% is navigation and maps).
I like this rom over any rom i've used, I've used almost everything but miui, I want my phone to look like android os, not iOS.

i rocked myn's warm 2.2 for the longest time and still know that its a great ROM, (also used Caukulins Evio), but just recently got set up on the latest mikfroyo release with the blue theme and I'm loving it. also got my wife set up on it with the pink theme. we have a lot of great devs here in the evo community. everyone brings something to the table. thanks to you all!

Mikfroyo by a land slide......cm7 has potential but some bugs need to be sorted out

I've tried a lot of ROMs. Ava, Myn, CM7, CM6, Sprint Lovers, MikFroyo. I just flashed MikFroyo and while it's still too early I'm enjoying what it offers.
I gave up trying to find the best battery life. I'm just swapping between 3 batteries and carrying around my charger. I dropped my Sero plan last July for this phone and I'm going to get my moneys worth damn it! lol

MikFroyo 4.4 for me. I get a bad feeling about 4.5, perhaps it was over tweaked, so I am waiting on 4.6. But I am not sure what the benefit would be since I haven't had any issues since going with 4.4

4.5 is great, but like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I've tried 4 different ROM's and Mikfroyo is by far my favorite with RLS5 coming in a very close 2nd.

MIUI is the way!
Well I just started using MIUI and I love it. I does not drain my Evo at all. Also I have CM6 but i prefer MIUI, but I hope to flash the newest update soon. MIUI 1.2.4. Its hella crisp and very customizable.
Check out the latest here bro!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527&highlight=MIUI

I've had CM7, Myn's, and MikFroyo.
Myn's was good for some time.... but I needed somemthing more.
MikFroyo was fast.. It was good.
Cm7 drained battery quite a bit.
I got Miui recently and love it. It's like Cyanogenmod (based off of it) with improvements in battery and UI. I didn't like the UI at first but it really grew on me and I can't see myself switching back soon.
But the insane battery life and speed keep me on Miui's ROM. For example, I lost 1% overnight on wifi. That's how it should be. Looove it.

[Q] Which ROM + Kernel Combo?

Hello everyone,
Complete noob here tried doing some searching and lots of reading but I could not quite answer my questions. I have an Evo running the just released root (plain default ROM?). I am looking to install a new ROM/Kernel and my primary focus are:
1. Stability
2. Battery Life
3. Performance
4. Features
There are a TON of ROM and Kernel releases and its more then a bit confusing. I've been concentrating on the CM6, Fresh, Evio and Backed Snack. I was planning on using CM6 (it seems highly respected and optimized for stability and speed) but I use 4G all the time and HDMI now and then.
At least at this stage in my research I had Fresh 3.2 as my second choice with Evio/Bakedsnack tied for third (again this is not a review and strictly based on just what I've been reading about these and my take away impression at this time). I don't mind playing around with these to find one that I like but I wasn't sure which Kernel I should use. Are there particular ROM + Kernel versions that are highly respected (keep in mind my priorities above)?
Anyway thank you all for your time and assistance
With your requirements I would recommend the stock 2.2 ROM with the netarchy toastmod kernal. You can get Titanium Backup and go to settings and enable "Chuck Norris" mode to delete some of the Sprint Bloatware you don't want. Just be careful not to delete anything that you don't know what it is (Google Talk is a good example since it controls your market downloads). If you insist on a custom ROM go for Baked Snack with the matching netarchy kernal. It's a nice Rom.
Haven't used too many stock ROMS lately, but you're looking for a good custom ROM Baked Snack is a great choice. I use Baked Kernel #5 and get great battery life and also no noticeable loss in speed.
I used CM6 for a while, but wasn't to happy with it. The EVO seems like it is just to complicated for them. No disrespect intended Team Cyanogen is amazing, but there are still a lot of kinks to work out in AOSP.
Hope I helped.
-Stew
Either fresh 3.2 or evio. I have used every Rom in here. Evio was my daily til Sprint apps were not updating. He is fixing that. But 3.2 fresh is the best Rom I have used to date hands down. I used kings #8 the with it. As for baked snack. He rocked eclair but not so on froyo. Just ran 1.7 pfft waste of 2 hours. Kernel is messed up and so is Sprint tv. He smokes too much medical marijuana when programming lol. Not against a little thc but it shows in his latest roms in my opinion. I have a hard enough time typing when I am that high lol

I'm new to flashing roms and... My first was a deodexed stock 2.2 from steelh.. With riptide theme.. Now I'm on fresh 3.2 and it nice very smooth and stable..

I have tried CM6, nectarchy's Burnt Dorid, and Virus new Carbon rom, but none have pleased me as much as netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 final build.
This is by far my favorite rom, i have been testing a bunch to see what give's me the best result, so far with this rom and with netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs kernel my genius phone flies while being clocked at 1.19, i would not suggest higher then that as my phone freeze's after 1.19, i haven't found a kernel yet that is as perfectly matched to this rom as is 4.1.9. cfs
thanks netarchy, best setup IMO.

Ok so I ran Fresh 3.2 with stock kernel and was impressed how stable (short term heavy use) and easy to flash. I was finally able to flash CM6 but only after running the NAND unlock flash I found on one of these forums. Only thing was that my bench was lowest on fresh followed by the stock and then CM6 was highest. CM 6 is fast and has some cool features but overall it just didnt fit me. I'm going to try fresh and kings #8 next followed by the netarchy suggestion.
Thank you all for your help! I have to say the friendlyness of this community to a new noob is refreshing!
I've tried out many, many ROMs since I got mine and I like EViO the best. Using EViO 2 1.2 Beta 2 with King's #8 BFS kernel.
Going to give EVIO a try next.

[Q] Fastest Sense / Non-Sense Rom

I want to know what the absolute fastest rom is for the EVO...Sense or Non-Sense...don't care, and with everything working.
*Just to be clear......not asking what the best rom is. Not too sure I care about Quadrant scores either. Looking more at how it handles transitions, boot up, opening and closing apps, the whole enchilada.
If you leave a comment can you please also let me know what kernel you may have paired with it.
Thx.
cm6 or lithids GB builds for aosp, i like the cyanogen kernals and savage's too
mikfroyo 4.1 with netarchy's 4.2.2 for sense or ziggy's latest
u can overclock both roms for the speedfreak in ya
also use spare parts to speed up transitions

Sorry, just edited my post because I wanted to include that the rom should have everything working.
I know CM6 now has that but what about mikfroyo?
Just head over to the development forum and check it out. Mikfroyo has everything working, and without a doubt is the fastest sense rom out there. Several other developers are using Amikam's base rom in their own work.
Hands down MikFroYo v4.1
I've been flashing ROMs for two years now. I have to say out of the box without doing any mods, MikFroYo v4.1 is the fastest ROM I've every used. Everything works, as long as you wipe everything and start from scratch. It is a Sense based ROM. I used to flash CM ROMs just to have a faster running Hero. Now with MikFroYo v4.1 on a EVO there is no loss in speed. Have fun and good luck choosing. I'm running MikFroYo v4.1 with launch pro and it is a beautiful thing.

mikfroyo will not let u down, it all works, plus the dev is constantly tweaking it even more; he supports his work bigtime and answers every question fast
Anyone using the latest SBS kernel with this? How does it run? Is battery life good?
Batt life is good. On a easy day with not to much action you can get 18-20 hrs. On a heavy day maybe 10-12. But thats what home, computer, and car charges are for.
Im considering Mikfroyo 4.1 too, but i was wondering if anyone knows of or can post a video of it. How similar is the UI to the stock Evo UI?
thanks

Don't need a video. I just flashed 4.2 and there are very few changes to the stock UI. Looks basically the same with exception to a few additional installed apps, power notification drop down, maybe a style change on something. There are also some stock apps not included. But, is way faster than the stock one.
It is fast for a Sense rom but still can't believe an ASOP isn't the fastest available.
I've been getting around 2500 in quadrant and 39.5 consistently using CM 6.1.1 with netarchy's 7.6 SNAP BFS. I'm also running the iNexus 6.1.1 theme.

That's good but I'm not too interested in benchmarks. Even Cyanogen has said they are trivial and not accurate most the time.
What I am interested in is user experience. How is CM6 when doing transitions, opening apps, etc? Mikfroyo right now, even with the sense, is pretty darn smooth and fast.
Or, maybe even throw Vaelpak in there. It seemed pretty quick when using. Any other seriously fast roms out there?
Would really like to hear an opinion from someone who has used CM and maybe Mikfroyo. Even if you don't like Sense (i don't) it can be removed from any rom.
yea i used quad on my evo when it was stock and was getting 1250-1300 consistantly, and my phone was getting slow, jerky, and unresponsive. Rooted and put mikfroyo on and im amazed at how much more smoothly it runs. Funny thing is it benchmarks at or lower then it did before, yet in real world stuff its obviously faster.
6.1.1 has been very smooth and I can honestly say that after enabling snap turbo, it is far and away the fastest tom i've used.
Fresh 3.5.0.1 w/ toast 4.1.9.1 was faster than mikfroyo 4.2 for me... CM 611 W/ Snap Turbo blows them both out of the water. Also, if benchmarks don't mean anything, nobody would develop them. If I was scoring an 8 on quad w a samsung, i would attempt to convince myself of that, but in reality, i'd just exchange it for an htc.
Nonetheless, for the rest of the weirdos who do use benchmarks to assist w choosing a rom or kernel, you may find the following beneficial: http://home.comcast.net/~ttechnology/compiled.html

How was your battery life while on CM 611 compared to the other roms?
Comparable since i use cpu tuner as well and config'd it to max @ 400ish on screen off.

Looking for the best Rom and kernel combination for my EVO 4G?

Hey guys what's up...ok so I finally got my evo rooted and I was able to try out a couple of ROMs....I tried so far cyanogenmod 7 and nyms warm twopointtwo rls5 but I noticed that my data would cut out and not switch over from 3g to wi fi and in cyanogenmod 7 force close errors left to right...what is the best kernel Rom combination that will provide the most features performance and stability? Now using stock rooted Rom...on a happy note I was able to put the Android peeing on Apple bootloader love it lol....let me know guys thanks

Personally.. I'm leaning towards Sense based roms more and more. They just have alot of the features I'm after and now that most are implementing other aspects of AOSP roms I'm finding more and more it's the way to go (ie. miui player, android mail vs htc etc, themed gallery etc.) I can make 2 recommendations right off the bat.
1. Koni Elite Series III - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055
2. King Cocoa True Blue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995410
I've played with so many roms I've lost count but I think with either one of those you'll find everything you are looking for. And I find that most themes will flash over them as well (Slayers cyan dragons and skulls theme is pretty sweet on koni's)
Every phone is different and not one seems to be the same as the next so as to recommend a kernel that is gonna take some testing on your part. I've given up on trying different ones as most cause nothing but boot loops and crashes. HTC #15 stock kernel plays the best for me. As for roms.. Keep on flashing.. It becomes addictive but you'll find what you like eventually. The work these cats have put into these roms are worthy of many a dollar so be sure to thank them for their work! Good luck , have fun!
thank you for the reply I really appreciate it...yes it is very true...rooting these guys is like taking away their chastity belts lmao....totally opens up the possibilities...i am super new to this don't even know what the good apps are and good folks on here helped me root my phone...definitely going with sence gonna check out those time in a bit

If you want a stable, fast and battery-efficient Sense ROM that cuts out a lot of the Sprint/htc cruft and still looks nice, check out Eternal Prophecy.
It has the best battery life of any ROM I've used and matches speeds with many of the best AOSP ROMs.
SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.8 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.
ilove MiK and Myn
both are the best for me.
it really boils down to personal preference. there's no one true answer as to what is the best combination as it differs from person to person.
i'm enjoying CM7 with the Tiamat kernal. some people like SZ, some people like others..
yea, it's up to you.. try out a bunch and see what you like.

Went your route my friend Thanks for the input
CM7 + Tiamat kernel = 1day 9hrs battery life.
Fast, stable, good battery life, smooth....a perfect winner.
you should try Azreal x4.0 it is really fast and everything works
MIUI is very unique, runs on Gingerbread power. Warning - no 4G (yet).
Kernel is Tiamat 3.3.8 with SBC. I suggest that you use Kernel Manager, works pretty well.
Oh, and if you're a flashaholic, be sure to condition your battery. Charge to 100%, go into recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot phone, when it boots to the desktop unplug the phone and don't plug it up until the battery is fully dead. Then charge it to 100% again. Boom. Better batter.

[Q] Best Sense Rom??

Hi all! Ok So I am currently enjoying SkyRaider 4.0 with the Incredikernel 12/23. I am OC'd to 1.13ghz and am Quadrant Scoring 1350 avg. and AnTutu Benchmarking 1850 avg.(I avg 37MFLOPS in Linpack also). All that out of the way I have been looking at Warm Z TwoPointTwo and Warm TwoPointTwo and also Revo. I want to have a lot of the bells and whistles and be very feature rich. What Sense Rom/Kernel combo do you all suggest is the best? I am a moderate to heavy user depending but I typically get 4HR's awake time to a battery and batt life doesn'tanks bother me much. I would appreciate any insight you guys might have! (I couldnt find what I was looking for in the search)
Business or optimized z with ziggys 3/12 bfs wo havs kernel works best for me. Smooth stable and fast, battery good, and the z camera is way better.

UBER Z 10char
Skyraider 3.5.
I was running warm Z two point two, it's a great rom. But I could not get the battery life to last that long. But that could be just me, it's worth trying out.
I really like IncRom by lllboredlll. He did a great job with the theming and its very smooth.
Magnolia, but it's not on your list to vote.
optimized z with ziggys 4/13 or any of ziggys like donny said up^^ there is a good one too but optimized z is clean smooth fast and overall just a GREAT rom

I am a big fan of the Sky Raider ROMs, but my DInc reboots constantly when I am mid-call. It occurs about 5 - 7 minutes into the call. I have run multiple kernels, Chad's, Hey It Lou's and even 2 Kings, and I have never had this problem with any other ROM. I may have to go back to the GingerBread MIUI which is rock solid with the best battery life that I have experienced so far. The only problem with the GB roms is that there is no Sense on them yet. I like the Sense Mail widget better than anything out there, and since I use Exchange Server my choices are pretty limited. I can't post on the SkyRaider 4 forum yet, because I don't have enough posts (need 8 more and have to wait 5 minutes between posts).
Ok, I thought I had fixed the reboot problem by loading another Kernel, but I got to 18 minutes before it rebooted. I'll try a few more kernels to see if I can get this problem fixed.
If I can't get Sky Raider 4 working without the mid call reboot, I would like a Sense ROM that has the lighter Dialer (like Sky Raider's), the ability to change the apps in the Rosie bar and the Dialer in the middle, have a drop down editable power bar, etc... Any suggestions?

+1 for Optimized Shift. I do not experience any FC's or calendar issues. (Careful restoring account settings from other ROMs - that has caused me lots of grief. Better to spend a few minutes manually re-adding accounts.)
I'm a big fan of SkyRaider 4...but I went over to Synergy last week. Couldn't resist the lure of Gingerbread and Sense 3.0 (though it's a 2.1 mix). So far I've been really impressed. Very stable, snappy, and great battery life for a Gingersense ROM.

[Q] KiNgxKernel #5/#5 "Falling Up"

Does anyone have the KingxKernel BFS#5 from last year they would be willing to share with me ?
I did, but actually deleted it about a week ago lol. I have #6 if you would like that instead.

Yeah please. That would be cool. What are the differences?

I honestly don't know/remember the differences, but I'll send it over to you in a pm right now.

Great! Thanks!
I'm trying to amass a small collection of Sense kernels so I can try them out on my recently rooted AMOLED DInc. So far I've tried HeyItsLou #9, Incredikernel, and Ziggy471. Next up will be KiNgxKernels #5 and 6, followed by Order 3. I'm still trying to track down a Hydrakernel but am having no luck.
I'm posting my impressions on a thread I started over in the Droid Incredible General area. People keep trying to convince me to try ROMs too, but I've not liked CM7 or SkyRaider 4. I like this stock Sense ROM I've gutted the bloat out of. Now I'm just trying to tweak battery life through custom kernels.
I'm also sort of trying to figure out which radios do what and how they impact battery life -- no easy task, let me tell you. I guess I just need to try harder.
Thanks again!
p.s. FWIW I'm sticking with Incredikernel 2.6.32.27 for now

Yea, I'm not a big fan of the CM7. I liked the stock ROM and like you did, removed everything out I did not know or used. I tried a lot of ROM and now I am liking the WarmZ 2.2 nightly 04/23. I have pretty much stripped that ROM down to nothing after I installed it by removing apps and widgets. When flashing the nightlies it became tedious going through adb and removing each file, so I created a bash script that when ran, deleted all the unnecessary apps and skins. So far this ROM is awesome and looks good.
As far as kernels, Lou's #8 that came inside the ROM is good on battery for me. I can go 16 hours and some with lots of texting and facebooking. I have tried ziggy's and chad's incredikernal, both had good battery life, but each had their downfalls, whether it be laggy when scrolling or just random restarts. Lou's #8 seems smooth all around with this ROM
Radios, well I am hooked on the 2.15.00.11.19 It seems to hold out and gives me less call drops and faster download speeds. I tried the new GB leaked radio 2.15.10.05.06 and had about the same download speeds, but experienced more call drops.
I think at this point once you find a ROM you like, its more of experimenting with different kernels and radios until you find the best combination that suits you. That's what I did
And thank you to you two as well.
I'm new to this but trying hard to figure out what's going on. I have a pretty good grasp of what goes on with kernels and ROMS, now I just want to see what's up with radios.
I'm enjoying swapping out kernels because I can change the performance of my Incredible without having to reconfigure everything. I never did try HeyItsLou #8, so I guess it's worth a shot even though #9 wasn't very good for me.
Later
Thanks again for the hydra kernels. I'm trying one out now, the one that's named ocuv_v10. How is the other one (ocuv_ov_v10) different? Does it use HAVS or something?
Thanks
