I am currently rooted with unrevoked 3 but I would like to do a full root and just have vanilla Froyo, pure Google phone, no CM6 or any other mods. Is this possible?
chirp....chirp.....
i would like to know too....
anyone.....anyone.......anyone......Ferris?
Im on here quite a bit, and I think the closest you'll get to vanilla is cm. Don't worry though, its a beautiful piece of art.

So is it not possible then? I thought tons of people just rooted and used vanilla Android on their phones. Everyone says CM kills battery life. And truthfully I would like to just experience vanilla Android before I go into any custom roms. So is it impossible?
I've been looking for the same thing...
Try Burnt Droid, see what you think
I thought that was a Sense rom?
You could use CM and then use "Gingerbread Launcher" from the market. That's about as close to bare bones Android as you will get.

I recently ROOT my EVO, so I want to know for those who has gone to varios ROMS what are the top 5 ROMS.
Me personally has ben looking for some Desire Z or Desire HD port, only for the Themes but don't know the names of the ROMS here, or or some Gingerbread ROMS but they are a lot of ROMS here, I;m comming from the HeroC...
Calkulin EVi0 2 best room (I just hate that animation color screen at boot) give me up to 12 hours of battery time.
im new too i just rooted my phone sunday i heard from some people that some roms and kernals are made for certain hardware. mines hardware 0004 is it true
thanks.
If you want to fall in love with your EVO all over again, I HIGHLY recommend MIUI. It is hands down the best looking and best performing ROM out there.
4g doesnt work on miui right

Nope, it's AOSP so no 4G or HDMI.
I think you will fall in love with the Azreal rom. I have been running it for over a month now with no issues at all. Good luck finding a rom that you will like.

The best rom for the evo right now is the mikfroyo 4.4 hands down. In terms of speed and customized features it is my favorite of all and mik is already working on
V 4.5 so for u its time to start flashing and enjoying your powerhouse that is the evo the way u suppose to. Happy flashing and have fun!
+1 in the mikfroyi 4.4. Makes me appreciate sense widgets.

Sorry, I meant Konikub's themes.
NEED TO TRY ROMS: DONT GO WITHOUT AT LEAST 3 HOURS ON THESE.
myn's warm twopointtwo: insane themeing. blows your mind and other parts (hehe). fast, stable, just very themed and very feature inclusive.
caulkin's evio 2: incredibly fast. this dude is amazing. you will find his 'usb/wifi tether hack, reboot mod, mms limit/compression mod's in almost every rom out there. slightly themed to not look as fugly as the htc version, very good battery, extreme speed, etc etc etc.
ava-froyo z3: this man is quite a coder. he goes deep inside the rom to alter things never touched by other devs, including radio, 4g, memory management, etc. its a hit and miss for some phones, but gets amazing results on others.
cyanogenmod: vanilla aosp, the biggest project on the xda. built on many different phones, huge team, incredible changes, its like a whole new phone. you wont get the same results or features from any other phone on the market. no hdmi (claims its almost done) and FINALLY 4G (in alpha 2 testing, the code for 4g had to be totally rewritten by two guys. thats probably the biggest feat in this phone's history)
miui: a crossover aosp rom that looks almost like the iphone but with the functionality and customizability of android +100. infinite amount of features. this isnt really built on anything... everything is different. a brand new operating system pretty much. worth a flash. some love it, some (like me) dont.
I am currently using this ROM [ROM(S)]CM7-EX.v9, its pretty neat, still has a few minor issues but it's usable and yeah its Gingerbread. No 4G or HDMI.

Well put. I will +1 you on the CyanogenMod. Great stable ROM with tons of customizability and features out of wazoo.
I would also put in a recomendation foe Fresh Evo ROM by Flipz. Maintains a familiar Sense UI but has some nice performance tweaks and removes all of the bloatware. Also has full HDMI and 4G support. Just another simple and user friendly option for custom ROM that does not get too radical.

I like all the responses here and how members try to help, especially the 8th grade kid, lol.
I for one won't flash a rom where any of the features of the phone won't work, despite the fact of the great work all of those guys are doing to bring gingerbread to us, I applaud all their hard work. Whatever rom u flash, make sure u do a full wipe so u can get a clean install, do a back up or nandroid before u start flashing and read, read, read and keep on reading, that's the most important thing, get acquainted with any issues or problems that may arise with the roms u gonna flash so u don't panick and go all monkey if the phone freezes or whatever the situation may be. Finally be ready for the storm, flashing is an addiction hard to control.
My top five (which may not be your top five)
MIUI
Evoneo
vaelpak

Evio2
If I'm on a Sense rom, I use go launcher

I know this has already been said but I just have to agree with Cyanogen. The stable build (6.1.2?) is incredibly nice with plenty to do. On the other hand, Cyanogen7 (i.e. nightlies) are a bit more finnicky (still a superb work in progress). I used the stable build until I had enough courage (newbie myself to android) to start trying the night builds. I really dont want to go back to anything else now, not even the stable. Getting excellent battery life (intermittent tho), great look, very customizable. Def worth a try, if anything
Depends on what you want our of your rom. I tried many, but heres my personal experience.
I went with miui for awhile. Loved the speed and uniqueness. In the end missed everything working perfect.
Went to azrael for awhile. Fastest sense rom in my opinion. Highly recommend if you like sense.
Since I don't like sense, but want stuff to be fully functional, I'm currently on vaelpak. Very fast, great on battery, and the vaelpak settings app makes it very easy to tune to your liking.

Myns RLS5 Rom with Aloysius theme..... Sweet or CM7 nightly 13 with Mixer theme.... Awesome
Hey guys, it's been a while since I set foot in here and am behind on all the latest ROMs. I browsed the first few pages of development and perhaps I missed it but I'm looking for a ROM that is based off the official 2.3 build, but has Sense stripped out of it, so it still has working 4G but none of that crappy Sense bloat. I know there was a froyo ROM like that (Vael or Mik perhaps?) but I want to make the upgrade to Gingerbread. Been running MIUI forever and want to try something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Not sure exactly what you asking for. Is it supposed to not be based on sense at all? If so go with OMFGB you can Google it and find it. I'm not trying to look for a link right now. I've run it and its a great 2.3 build based on Vanilla. I don't run it because I like sense 2.1 which is in the Ginger ale rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sense 2.1/3.0 is not the same as Sense 1.0.
You should give it a shot. With the GB added in, it's really pretty nice.
I really am not interested in Sense at all. I am a LauncherPro guy so having Sense on it is pointless. What I am interested in is a ROM based off the official OTA that has all the Sense elements stripped out of it. Still uses a Sense kernel, still has 4G, but has no Sense. I did a little research and the Froyo equivalent was VaelPak, but it doesn't look like he has a GB build yet.

Yea try out OMFGB if you don't want sense. It meets all your requirements in the rom , although Hipkat is right, sense 2.1/3.0 it nothing like sense 1.0.

Just looked into it, still isn't quite what I am looking for. It doesn't look like what I want is currently available. Might go with SalvageMod, I've heard good things about it.
I don't think there are any 'senseless' roms of the OTA out yet. Also just for tossing ideas, if you want to try CM7, its on android 2.3.4 now, and with the Tiamat kernel, epic win. Also good seeing ya. And you, leave MIUI??? The Rapture is upon us.

Hey bud! Long time! No rapture yet, Mr. Camping postponed that till October now Haha yeah, I think I'm done with MIUI finally. I really want to take advantage of 4G to tether my iPad 2, and for some reason MIUI has been giving me nothing but problems lately. I really only want to do this once, so I was hoping for a senseless ROM because I'm sure they will be more stable than other GB/AOSP ROMs. Just don't want any more issues. How stable is CM7 now?
Hey do you know if the sense removal scripts work with the latest OTA? I might just do that and call it a day.

What is the difference between what you are looking for and just installing launcher pro? Then just use TB or root explorer and delete all the sense crap you don't want like all the widgets and such.

Well there's much more to sense than just the launcher and widgets. It is very deeply ingrained in the ROM. Deleting all that crap is the next best thing, but not ideal for what I want.
Teh_Roxxors is gonna laugh here, but I just made a last minute executive decision to update to the latest MIUI instead. I was just on stock GB Sense for a few minutes, and besides it being completely unbearable, I STILL have no 4G by my house. So, screw it. MIUI GB it is.

Yeah I was just wondering why it had to be a sense rom... sounds like CM7 would be right up your alley since it doesn't have any sense at all.

Just because I don't want to deal with stability issues. Every time I flashed CM, I always had reboots regardless of the kernel, same thing with Ultimate Droid. The only AOSP ROM that was ever good to me was MIUI, but even that started to crap out towards the end. I am not as flash happy as I once was, the last ROM I flashed was MIUI 1.1.28 and it was beautiful for a while but lately it had been crapping out ridiculously. I figure if the ROM was Sense based, I wouldn't have those issues. No matter though, I just flashed the latest MIUI GB build and it seems pretty good. It's gorgeous, they have definitely come a long way since 1.1.28, and I think it's going to be pretty stable for me. Though, only time will tell.
Well, I've just bought a Desire and I don't know where to start with Roms!
First I've been meaning to try out MIUI for agesss! But its never been ported to a device I've had. (Arc + SGS 1).
What are some good roms to try?
Note: I don't like Sense.
Thanks, Ben.
Well there is pretty much only one miui, so try that if you want to.(they are nice but too iphone'ish for me )
Also as you don't want sense, there is the classic(cyanogenmod with plenty of mods) and then we have a more lightweight aosp rom called oxygen, which i prefer myself. Good luck.
I like my eye candy! I'm not a lightweight person! Cyanogen mod might be an option though... I guess the best way is to flash and find out!
I havent been flashing roms for too long myself but ive been through a fair share. Oxygen has defently treated me well. Fast, stable and leaves plenty of room for apps while still looking good. Its the one I kept going back to until I found sense 3 but i know its not for everyone

If that's the case, maybe go with another Sense ROM?
I've been using InsertCoin rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940
That gives you Gingerbread and various Sense 3.0 goodies
There are also other Sense roms out there... I know of LeeDrOiD, but never used it myself.
Once you're rooted, it's easy to try roms out - flashed cyanogenmod over the weekend, got annoyed at a few things so reverted back to insertCoin
I bought the dinc after my commando was smashed by a semi last week. I have a little experience with custom roms and this is my third android based phone. I received the phone yesterday and it will be rooted by me tomorrow. But I wanted to know what roms you guys find to be best also any tweaks that are useful. This phone a three years old and I know you guys have come up with some dos and don't so rather than reinventing the wheel I figured IDE use my first post to list what I'm looking for and see what you recommend.
Stability stability stability! I won't be changing every week once I find one I like that will be it. I can't devote the time to constantly update and tweak it plus this is my daily driver so I need it to work above all else.
Speed I know these guys don't have the fastest processors so if i have to choose between load speed and looking cool or cute animations I choose speed.
Battery life I'm running a 2800 mah slim battery but I spent that money because I don't want to charge it not to waste battery life.
Media I do use my phone extensively to play music, watch, movies, photos,photos,photos, anything that optimizes these features I'm all about trying out.
Also anything I should stay away from do to extensive bugs ect please let me know. I will read all I can about these roms as you suggest them and of course report how they do for me here as well as the phandriod.com site. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge I'm about to get hit with ill try not to ask too many stupid questions

Thanks tiny! There are soooo many of them which is good but are there any standouts? What are the major differences between the GB and the aosp? i know on my og evo the aosp roms seemed to save batt but that all i know and i don't really know that. I do like the miui icons tbh but I think I can use those with whatever rom but I like the minimalist if nature of the miui setup.
I have rooted three phones and installed custom roms on them but am really brand new to the android or smart phone game only been messing with droids for 3 months now. Idk just looking for info are there any seance or Gb roms you think I should stay away from.?

This is pretty much the only evo. What was good on that device is good here. Rom names are different. If you want a pure stock sense rom then I recommend cmlusco's rom. CM 7.2 is the best aosp gingerbread rom IMO.

Hey guys, i used to have a samsung galaxy s2 before my htc one, and there was so many ROMS to choose from that i had a different one almost everyday. I'm thinking there was so many ROMS because it's an older phone. I noticed that there are not that many ROMS for m8, the phone isn't all that new. Is it just not a popular phone? Do you think there will be more ROMS coming? I had LiquidSmooth on KitKat and i liked it however it was getting buggy. So i was on the hunt for a new ROM. Tried Pac-Rom (which i usually LOVE) however it wasn't what i was looking for. CM is too basic. The ROM needs to be perfect, i know that's not possible but i like to have a lot of customization ability. I'm now trying out Resurrection Remix on Lollipop. This is my first time with lollipop, not sure if i like it yet... but anyways do you guys think there will be more ROMS on the way??

You should get nexus then. All these aosp roms they never work properly on HTC because they can't use proprietary drivers.
