best evo rom?

So coming to Evo4G in couple days and am wondering which sense rom is performing the best right now? plan on rooting as soon as its in my hands
any help would be great on rom choice
mainly looking for sense rom with good battery life and stable running
dont care about overclock so much
thanks in advance

I like regawmod 3 but it is only for beta testers right now. Wait til' its out but for now i would recommend virus.

I'm using Calkulin's EViO rom and I am absolutely in love with it. I'm on 24hrs of moderate usage and my battery isn't even halfway drained.

This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I would reccommend trying several for yourself and deciding which you like the most. Just as you can see from the responses so far, everyone has their own favorites and for different reasons, you might as well see which you like the most. I for one like Damage Control.

Stable sense, mm well I'm using evio rom rite now and I like it much, fast and reliable, fresh rom is good too, but imo evio is faster and sense work I just flash the hddesire dump file for the filp clock and it works really nice
HTC EVIO using swype

The best rom is always the one that is supposed to be released

fresh 3.2 works great

What kernel are you using? I've been on EViO since Day 1 and have never gotten this kind of battery life. Don't get me wrong, battery life is good, but not THIS good!

ive used CM6 nightlies for a few months now.
i have tried Baked Snack, Fresh, Calks, etc
Of those I think i liked Baked Snack the most. Fresh always seemed a touch laggy to me, not sure if I ever tried it with a different Kernel though.
Right now i'm ont he 9/20 nightly of Cyanogenmod, and i'm using the 7.6BFS kernel in Turbo mode....and hit a 2605 Quadrant score...
everything is just smooth.
but i'm looking into going back to a sense rom. But i use ADW Launcher, just love it.

I love fresh with man up theme currently 20hrs + on normal use.....
Do any one know what is the best Rom / kernel for heavy use of the phone (what Rom will allow the phone to be use without draining battery life fast )
So far fresh Rom is good just wondering if there is something better

cyanogen, ride til i die lol

Right now, I'm using fresh, It used to work great I just updated to the latest one. It is very laggy to me but I believe that is my fault haha. I backup system data along with apps in titanium backup then restored all. I'm actually searching for a different rom but Fresh has been great to me. Also, I really want to try cyanogen its just not all the things work yet. I know cyanogen has great stuff and hes been in the game a very long time. When i has my g1 a few years back, his rom was the only one I touched, So smooth and nice. Most likely my choice with be cyanogen when everything is fixed, and I havent even used it on the evo!

I guess alot of people just don't reply to Questions on this forum very often compared to Development posts. I would recommend trying out Myn's Warm Two Point Two. I used to use Fresh but wanted to try out Myn's when it came out because it looked like an awesome rom, needless to say I'll never look back. The numbers on Myn's rom post don't lie. Also, I feel it is important that a dev regularly contributes to posts on their rom, which Myn does. I tried Cyanogen one time, and just wasn't a fan, plus the broken 4g is a deal breaker for me.

the beauty with the evo is there are so many quality ROM's to try out, you should really try them all out. I only run sense based roms because it allows me to sync with my exchange email, so i would recommend trying these out as i have:
in no particular order
- Baked snacks
- Fresh
- Myn's
- Any calk ROM
- there are a couple of sense basic ROM's as well
there is also AOSP based ROM's that if work for you give them a shot. the beauty is, the one that does what you want is the best ROM for you

MIUI for me

The best one for me is the one I made to fit my use. Use the dsixda kitchen to start and slowly you will get deeper into customizing it past the kitchen. I don't use other roms anymore because if something isn't working you have to wait for them to fix it. I keep a stock rooted backup on hand when I am building my rom in case something is not working.

Best sense rom?

I've been running cyanogen and then MIUI ever since I got my EVO (on my second, first was stolen. ) but I only had my first EVO on sense roms for as long as it took for cyanogen's to first came out. I used to run damage control on my old one, but it seems like there's WAAAAAY more options now. What do you guys think is the best sense rom and why?

I'm been running Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo. I like it because it's well supported, broad user base, it's beautiful (I didn't like all the "shiny" Sense graphics, W2.2 cleaned it up--just looks sharp and sophisticated), it's fast and everything seems to work. I was using the nightlies when they came out and found that I really missed the features of the Evo's camera--I take a lot of pictures and video. Until the camera features improve, I'm sticking with 2.2

Yeah, as bloated as sense was, the things they added were never detrimental to android, I wish we could just pick and choose sometimes. :<

I have been running sac's roms for the past month and they are definitely sweet. He gives you like 5 different launchers that you can use so if you get bored. The battery life on my Evo has been the best it has ever been on any Rom.

Myn RLS4 is my favorite.

Myn's warm RL4 is amazing..
smooth transition, preety look, good battery live, nice speed too..
what more could I ask? I loooooove it..

best is a matter of opinion

This is very true...and that being said I've always been a big fan of Fresh Rom's and at the moment was talked in to trying out Myn's warm rom...
Ultimately pick one and flash it, give it a little time and then try another. Give them a chance and then pick the one you like the best and go from there.

This is a vicious cycle. Beware of the flashaholics anonymous club.

I love Ava Froyo V10. I've been following Ava since the beginning, and it has only gotten better by leaps and bounds.
I've tried Stock, Cyanogen, Fresh, and Warm, but never really took a good liking to any of them. Ava Froyo has been my go-to-ROM. On previous versions of Ava Froyo, I've coupled it with the Netarchy Toastmod Kernel, however V10 doesn't need it (you won't have an unlocked CPU Voltage, just fyi). I've found it has way better battery life than Myn's.

I prefer Myn's at the moment due to the fact there is such a large modding community, it makes making your perfect rom alot easier. Calkulin also has a script out there to remove Sense, it is probably only supported on his roms though.

I toasted my recovery with my flashaholism (EVO-nonsense). I'm using the stock recovery now until I learn a little more about how recoveries work.

Myn's Warm and Calkulin's EViO.

Rom suggestions

Hey all, im pretty new to the evo, just rooted it this morning. Ive done plenty of rom flashing on previous phones so I'm good to go...just wondering if I could get some suggestions on some good roms to flash. I like stock but would like a more efficient running set up. Thanks

Thanks, ill try em

I've tried about a half dozen in the past month, both AOSP and Sense ROM's and I've found myself always coming back to the Sense ROM. My two favorites so far have to be Evo Nonsense and Fresh Evo. I haven't really found anything that doesn't work on either ROM, many of the others cant say that.

Myn's Warm 2.2 is great.
MIUI is nice, its so lightweight that I clock my evo at 499 max and it runs normally and with the side effect of great battery life.

i agree i have fresh rom for about 3 months now and i like it the best.
fresh 3.5 and netarchy 4.1.9.1 gives you really good battery

+ for MIUI. It's impossible for me to go back to any Sense ROM now, they just don't compare. Other AOSP ROMs are nice, but none are as elegant as MIUI.

Myn, mikfroyo, cyanogen, or miui.

I really liked the overall layout and featires incorporated in MIUI when I tried it a month or so ago but NOW that I know about 4G being in my area, no way I can live without using a feature I've been paying for all this time, now that it's available in my area. I'm also not crazy about the camera not being 8MP......when they dial in that ROM where everything works as it should, then I'll give'em another go.
I failed to mention Myn RLS4 was also a very nice ROM.

Thanks for all the input, I'm still not sure what to choose. I downloaded myn's and netarchy...not sure which to use yet though

Try Calk's They're always awesome.

How to choose Evo rom?

I was looking at the Evo rom subforum and there are so many options. I have no idea what to choose. When I had the Hero, I used cyanogenmod. I liked it, but I'm definitely open to any suggestions
The most important features to me are long battery life and speed.

I like MIUI so far. But really depends if you like sense or not.
Sent from my Evo powered by MIUI

I have no problem with sense. I'll definitely consider MIUI when choosing a rom.
Based on the number of replies and page views, it looks like Warm TwoPointTwo is the most popular rom. I read the first page and the screenshots look nice, but there's not much information about its features. Does anyone know why it's so popular?

I got them all nandroid on my 16gb card... enjoy my friend you got the hottest phone on the planet for a minute or two longer....lol

I'm all about MIUI. Been running it since the beginning of november. There really is no comparison. All the sense ROMs are pretty much identical to me, except for the different themes, and CM is nice but it's pretty plain appearance wise. MIUI has the performance of CM but is gorgeous to look at, plus it has a TON of features that aren't available in any other ROM, and more features get added with every release.

Like the above user said, depends if you like sense or not. I personally loved sense before flashing to an aosp rom [such as cyanogen].
For sense, the talk of the town is mikfroyo and Evio by calkulin
AOSP...CM7 nightlies, evervolv are nice..
As for battery life, you'll have to experiment with some kernels.

Fast, bloat free gingerbread? Salvage. =P

No 4g is the dealbreaker for me on that ROM. Anxiously waiting though.
I'm currently running the Cyanogen 7 Gingerbread Rom. It's decent, but a little buggy.

I am currently running Myns Warm 2.2 and love it due to the battery life, i've gotten 23 hrs out of it so far without a charge with moderate use, texts, facebook and a few calls.
been using it for about a week.

MikFroyo is the fastest sense based rom that I have found. Plus the people in the thread are very helpfull, and slow to flame.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

ok, here is a better question, good rom with 4G/WiMAX, working GPS, and 3g/4g hotspot. I have Cyanogen 7 RC1, but it is buggy. Don't like it too much.

Warm twopointtwo by myn all the way. very fast, looks great, and battery life like you wouldnt believe
everything works, download the wireless hotspot for root on market. some say the browser is slow, but myn uploaded a fix for that in his thread

Best way to choose is to try them all out. I would at least try mikfroyo, myn, miui, and evio. Before yo do though, might want to just try flashing one of the most recent cm7 nightlies over rc1. I think there are some changes that might make it a bit more stable.
I'm running the latest cm7 with wimax and have very few issues.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

trying out MiK right now. i think miui didn't have 4g, one of those u listed didn't

Yeah, Miui doesn't have 4g (yet). Still worth a try though. I think you'll like Mik. That and EViO are my fav sense ROMs. Kings is also really nice. Mik base and tons of themes.

I've used Warm 2.2 and currently on Ava Froyo. It's also a good, stable ROM will everything working.
Using Netacrvy-Toastmod 4.3.1 cfs-havs-nosbc, I'm getting decent battery life with moderate usage. Now the trick is to define what's acceptable life for your usage. I have 3 constant sync emails with FB, 4Square, and a couple of calls and youtubes a day, and don't have to worry about a charge.

What's the best Rom for the EVO

I am looking to find out what other people use on there EVO and why they like or love it better than any other rom that is available here.
I have tried both sprint lovers and cm7 and I have likes and dislike with both. So please give me your reason why on likes and dislike to help me choose my next Rom to try.

The best rom is all opinion. I love cyanogenmod personally, but you may not. Keep flashing roms until YOU find YOUR favorite.

Is just like asking "whats the best pizza in town" im sure you will get different answers... roms are the same.
I am using Kings Unleashed Blakk3. Why I like it? Because it looks cool, runs super fast and my battery last forever.

I'm using MIUI because it pisses my iPhone loving roommate off

I like CM7, fast smooth, no problems. Some would argue against it with the recent mysterious things happening with the rom lately for people just flashing it.

miui and destroyer v2 are my favs right now.. but im looking to try something else.. im kinda tired of sense based roms because it makes me feel like i havent really changed anything from rooting..

I didn't like cm7 tell mag built destroyer from it, I've tried almost all the Roms that are out and i keep going back to destroyer now v2, it's fast and fun. It's one of the best gingerbread Rom i have used with the least amount of glitches. All you need to do is check out destroyer threads and read the op and i believe you will enjoy it.

I tried a destroyer Rom not sure which one and it was running fine, then after about 24 hrs of uptime it had a random bootloop. I was able to pull battery and it booted fine but that soured my taste for it.

Version one of destroyer had a few glitches, if you flash version 2 over version one it takes care of the glitches, and there is a lot of information on both threads about solving little errors like that. I've had 0 random reboot on version 2. And there is always a chance for them with Asop Rom, at least that's been my experience with all that i have tried.

i will probally do that, i currently just flashed kings unleashed black r3 then flashed the blue ballah theme im likeing it so far. will see over time.

The best ROM for the Evo is the one that suits your needs the best.
Everyone's are different.
For me, Sense: Koni's and King's.
CM: Destroyer and SalvageMod
If you want the best of both worlds, VaelPak is really cool!

I agree pretty much with the above. Destroyer is probably my favorite ROM, but right now I'm trying out Savaged-Zen RC1. You need to try a variety of them and just see what fits you.
Minimally, I would recommend trying Miui, VaelPak, Kings Unleashed/MikFroyo/Warm, and some Gingerbread AOSP ROMs (CM7, Savaged-Zen, Destroyer, SalvageMod, etc.).

I was an unleashed fan, so i can see the appeal. King dose make a fast stable Rom. I just didn't like all the themed app icons, and then having to uninstall and install the app again just to updated. And all the setting up of the ext and movement of the app to it, with the cm Roms a2sd is built in and you can have them auto to the external, i have 31 downloaded app and only 73 mb of internal used. Also with the theme pack from version one of destroyer you have access to changing the theme on the fly and not having to boot into recovery and flashing the theme zip, wireless tether is also built in. I use multi mount for connection to my computer since i have all my app on the card. I could tell you everything i enjoy about this Rom, I'm hoping that mag gets the Evo 3d and builds a destroyer for it.

i think miui is great but i got the phantom voicemail icon that seems to be plaguing everone..
but my fav non sense rom is definitely destroyer v2 but i felt like a little change of pace and am on vaelpak right now..
for me i think the best roms are the significantly "different" ones.. i never want to see a phone act like mine anywhere!

The phantom voicemail fix is HERE i've personally done it myself and it does work.
I'm the same way, I like originality with my phone. Best thing for you to do if find a rom you like and see what customization zips it offers. I tell every Myn's since it lists a ton of mods on the thread (click my red signature banner) and Konikub's Rom as well offers nice customizations to make the phone "unique".
edit: oh and of course MikFroyo

Kewl, ill give that rom a try on my next rom install. So far I'm. Liking kings unleashed dark rom. But a channge is in the works soon everything mostly in black and white gets boring quick, and I already tried the blue ballah theme like it as well.

cm7 is my preference. it has everything i need and everything i want and everything i dont need all packaged in one. there are so many options, and it is CRAZY fast and i get FANTASTIC battery. destroyer (1 and 2) are just themed versions of cm7. try cm7 or destroyer. and if you dont like the look of cm7, keep in mind there is a one click theme changer built in.
a list of every rom i would try. KEEP IN MIND YOU DONT KNO A ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN IT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS WITH HEAVY USAGE, OR A DAY WITH MEDIUM TO LOW USAGE.
try :
cm7: aosp base, biggest dev project on xda. spans across many phones. most popular rom (probably) over all xda. seriously cool. try it try it try it.
miui: also aosp base. also spans across quite a few phones. this is much more custom than cm7. it looks and feels like a combo between android and iphone. some people like it, some people dont. some people love it. some people get 4 days of battery life on it. try it to see where you stand.
myn's warm twopointtwo: very popular sense (stock) based. dark themed. fast. customizable. good battery. again, was crazy popular. has sort of lost popularity cuz myn stopped updating ("if i cook froyo anymore, it will burn " -myn) but if it's new for you, it can still be really cool.
mikfroyo: another popular sense based. fast. compressed. fast. customizable. i'm not a fan but many are.
android creative syndicate: this team has released a few roms. ultra unleashed and koni's elite. try at least one if not both. they are very good themers (you can tell they like black) and take rom building seriously.
you dont need to try this next one, but it is the perfect in-between.
vaelpek rom is sense based, but stripped down as much as possible to be pretty much senseless. you will get a little of that sense sluggyness and high memory, but not much. the dev does a great job making this the rom for all who want a perfect in-between with everything working but as littel sense as possible.
also reccomended: one of the desire z ports (mik z or myn's warm z). salvage mod: stock gingerbread.
any others to add?
hope this helps you make your decision.
