Hey guys. I was hoping some of you ROM flashing freaks can help me out here. After a month or so of having full root I finally decided to d/l Rom Manager (what an awesome app...major kudos to the dev!) and the first thing I did was try out the famous CM6 rom.
First off let me admit to the fact that I don't think I gave it a fair shot...mb I was scared by the lack of Sense that I have grown so used to, but after a very short while I reverted to my backup of the stock rom. Besides the lack of familiarity with a non-Sense ROM I was also turned off by the lack of 4G and the small things that people on the CM6 thread were complaining about such as notifications for text and emails not showing up on the status bar. I also saw a handful of people complaining about excessive battery drain. Anyway, I stray from my point. I'm sure CM6 is an awesome ROM, I mean thousands of people swear by it, so there must be something to it...just right now I need some Sense.
On that note it seems to me that the most popular Sense rom is Myn's. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this. What I really don't understand is this: What makes Myn's ROM or any of the other Sense rom better than stock? I would really like to hear from MYN users (and other sense rom users) and tell me why you prefer your ROM over stock.
Thanks in advance for any useful feedback!
I use Myn's ROM and CM6.1 (the latter right now).
The most cited thing about Myn's ROM that people like is the theming. Myn is also really on it with the updates, and he includes new features with every release.
Just nandroid and flash it. If you like Sense, you can't go wrong. Also, definitely give CM6 another go sometime in the future. It's great.

Hey Sock, thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think I def didn't give a CM6 a fair try. I think I just got scared off by the unfamiliar territory. One thing I did notice when I had it running was that my reception wasn't very good. I only had 2 bars in an area that I usually have full or close to full bars. Oddly though, it was working fine and was d/l content from the market at around the same speed as when I was on stock.
CM6 uses a different code for signal reception than sense roms (less bars). Even though it appears different, there are no differences in data speed. Those bars u see are for data strength btw

Yeah, that's something to get used to with AOSP. I like Sense and CM pretty similarly, so I nandroid back and forth pretty often.

Ive been using myns roms for quite a while now, all 3 of his warm 2.2 releases. I highly suggest you give it a try. The theme is silky smooth, all sense widgets work, myn has put his magic touch into it so it runs smoother and snappier than stock, he is ON TOP of updating his Roms, and always adds new features and little touches to it. Plus there are all sorts of options for customizing to your liking. I also get much better battery life than stock. Check it out good sir.

While I don't run Myn's (running MIUI), the reason I started flashing custom ROMs was to get rid of the Sprint bloat that the stock ROM had. After each restart I would see a Nascar app and a whole lot of other **** running that I couldn't care less about. Also now I can use setcpu to underclock my phone at times (screen off and etc) to help save my battery as well. Seeing much longer battery life now.
I have used Myn's, CM, MIUI, Calks, Fresh, DC, etc. Right now I am back on the newest stock release. I was kind of missing the stock appearance and I found that a couple tweaks I like wouldn't work on the other roms. Plus, I can get rid of all excess and unwanted apps using titanium or root explorer. Finally, my battery life is phenomenal so I think I'll stick with stock for a while. However, of the custom sense roms, I think the ones I have tried were all great. DC is very slow to update while myn is very fast and regular with his. Myn is great if you want a themed rom, if not I say try calk or fresh, Ava's rom is pretty sweet too. I guess what it comes down to is do a nandroid backup and start flashing away til you find one you like.
Tapa tapa tapa
in my opinion myn's rom is very fast runs great and has the evo hotspot so you dont have to shell out an extra 30 a month it has 4g and is very stable. plus you get huge battery savings plus all other shell options and dev stuff that i kinda understand but dont want to sound stupid trying to explain.. i really cant wait for the next myn rom to come out it looks awesome and works even better, but i got my stock battery with heavy use from about 4 hours to almost 10 hours, but its all in personal choice. hope my input helped a little..
try su file manager & terminal from the market and if you dont have busybox get it from market and you can remove any file you want you just have to mount as read-write

Thanks for the input guys! I'm going to try it out...
Not a diss to the developers, but with my last phones all the roms felt like they were put together by a teenager. Always got force closes, freezing, and caused other problems like bad reception, wifi wouldn't connect, etc.
I love the way some of these roms on the incredible look, but my main concern is reliability. I haven't had one single force close on my stock phone.
So, is it worth it? If so, which rom seems to be the most reliable?
There's lots of stable ROMs out there. If you like the stock look and feel then try out virtuous. It's basically stock without the bloat and from what I hear its very stable.
What about this one? I love the way it looks.

That one's good lllboredlll updates all the time and is very helpful. He likes stability over performance.Great mods too!
Try 1.2 been using for a while
sent from dinc
Just check for a buglist which is usually either in the first or second post. That'll tell you what's wrong with the ROM. But as long as its not an alpha or beta build it would be alright
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
Definitely worth it
Just be sure to make a full backup before you flash any new ROM's as I'm sure you know.
The incredible has a lot of talented developers here, so if you take the time to look through the ROM's you'll find more than a few excellent choices.
IncROM is a nice ROM for speed and it's quite stable.
Another highly recommended ROM is Sky Raider 3.5, I've been running it for a couple of months with no force closes or issues of any kind.
I enjoy it because of the stability, speed and battery life I get out of it.
>>
Something you should also think about flashing is a custom kernel. They can greatly impact your speed and battery life in a good way, many times they have a bigger impact than a custom ROM in those categories.
Just stuff to think about, be sure to do your research before flashing. Read through the thread thoroughly so you won't run into any problem.
If you want something different than stock, check out CM7 RC1, it's really nice. I did skyraider, virtuous...etc. While they are nice, I discovered it's more fun to try different AOSP roms.
I'm a huge fan of Incredibly Re-engineered. It's like stock Incredible on a steroid-PCP cocktail. Super fast, very slick looking and very stable. The only issue I have with it is an MMS issue, and as far as I understand it's uncommon. If you want to keep HTC Sense on your phone, this ROM has my vote.
like has been mentioned previously, Skyraider's ROMS are great as well as Re-Engineered.
just make sure you have the latest HBOOT and CWM. i always wipe the phone and cache just to be sure there are no conflicts. lots of force closes if that doesnt happen.
have fun
I was asking myself the same thing a couple days ago. I had been running incredibly reengineered for a few weeks and decided to go back to stock. That only lasted about half a day as I had forgotten about all the bloat in the stock build. So now I'm back on inc re eng and very happy with it.
I want to try out the AOSP roms sometime but I really like HTC sense!
Totally worth it. Many of the ROMs for the dinc are very polished and stable.
I'll add my vote for IncRom - can't stay away from it. Zero bugs, beautiful interface and a very responsive and generous developer.

I use CM7 with ADW EX and I don't miss Sense at all. I personally think it's much better than sense. I know a lot also use Launcher Pro with CM7.
SR 3.5 is the best thing to ever happen to my Inc. Fully customizable, power toggles in drop down drawer, completely stable, everything works. If ur looking for a sense based rom look no further.
MIUI... all the way... stable and Great themes!!!

I'm new and I use cyan the stable but as I've done more reading and gotten better I load the nightly's now and wow its like a new phone
Flashed the incROM and SR 3.5 over the past few days.
incROM was more laggy than stock and kept getting force closes.
SR 3.5 messed with my reception (bars would just between 0 and 2-3 constantly, even sitting in one spot).
Yep, I'm staying stock. Now I know why I stopped flashing roms on my previous phones. Sure, the cool extras are neat, but not worth it because of the problems IMO
And yes, I did wipe of data/cache/dalvik/etc

Wow...what are u talking about either your phone is messed up or youre not giving the roms enough time to load. Theres no way the stock htc rom is faster. The "bars" you see for reception dont exactly mean that your reception is changing...mine did it on the stock rom too mind you

Well, there's no perfect answer to this question. The best 2.3 ROM is the one that works best on your phone. Every ROM performs just a bit differently on each person's phone. Apps added and other changes made can also effect this. Our Epics can be like a second girlfriend...one minute giving you all kinds of love and happiness and the next minute can be a real pain in the ass...wait maybe I need a new girlfriend!

Yup, its all about trial and error. I can't tell you how many times I have tried a ROM and its worked perfect only for other users to report constant force closes. When you do find the ROMs that work perfect you will be a very happy camper. It pains me to run a stock setup now.

CM7.
jk. But I'd check out acs bamboozled...best gb rom I've used so far.
I've tried two (or three) 2.3 based roms and there has been a couple of things that have always caused me to go back to SRF 1.2:
No custom kernels = no overclock - I'm not a huge overclocking type of guy, but I always like to have it clocked at 1.12 or 1.2 ghz, just enough to keep it smooth but not high enough to run it hot or drain my battery.
No custom kernels = Cannot use Galaxy Tuner - I use Google Music as my primary source of car music, which means I needed to find an external app to use as an equalizer. Voodoo sound didn't work and Tuner froze on me every time I tried to use it.
Still Very buggy - I've run into a few bugs that have always irritated me, no matter how small they were. Whether it's something that freezes my phone or just kills the frame rate, I've just always been bugged (get it?) by bugs.
But where there is bad things, there have been a lot of good things that I absolutely loved about 2.3, almost enough to stay with it:
Live Backgrounds - For me, they've seem to have gotten better (stock ones anyways) and, as far as I could tell, they don't murder my battery or frame rate. The one I loved the most was this awesome looking clock that was a bunch of circles. It's hard to explain...
Screen off Animation - More eye candy, but awesome eye candy. Not much to say other then I love watching my phone turn off
Everything just seemed so smooth - Scrolling, opening apps up, etc, just seemed so fluid and clean, even if the frame rate was dropping for some reasons.
------
Those are some of my personal pro's and con's on deciding whether to run 2.3 at this time or not. For me, the con's on top were more important then the pro's on the bottom. Needs are different for each person so I'm sticking with 2.2 for now until either the official release of 2.3 is out or we can start adding kernels and themes (etc etc).

You know there can be no custom kernels until source code is released. But as for overclocking, many have had success with Tegrak from the market that has allowed overclocking on the GB leaked ROMS.

Yea, I'm slowly learning all that, I just didn't know at the time. As for Tegrak, I heard it's a major drain on the battery for some reason, but maybe results vary from user to user. Overclocking wasn't a huge concern for me, it was the other two on there that kind of got to me. I'm still happy with 2.2 so that's why I've decided to wait it out

hmm i never tried compkid's regeneration or inception roms. How are they?
as for the topic we are on now, i left acs1.2 the day eg22 came out and yeah al though for some things i would love to go back to acs1.2 but the scale is heavier for me on the gb side.
I used go green, team era's scrambled eggs and tried all the randomrom 2.3 versions (eagle, egret, osprey). The most stable rom for me is randomrom osprey. It is fast enough, great on battery and everything works well with it (other lauchers, apps, etc). As for scrambled eggs, man i loved how snappy that rom was. It was extremely quick upon the click but unfortunately it wasnt working that good with a few launcher and apps and way too many force closes but still fast. Even though i feel scrambled eggs was snappier than osprey, i did receive much higher quadrant scores with osprey (not that quadrant actally matters to me, just for the sake of seeing the scores).
GoGreen was meh for me and i am definitely anticipating an update for scrambled eggs..
I first went with Bamboozle, and it was good. Then one day there are 3 EG22 Roms here it seemed.
So I tried RandomRom and I was having an awful time after 2 days with FC's and reboots.
I then loaded Scrabmled Eggs yesterday and I have been clean (other than google Nav). I am checking battery life now, but I am doing better now than I was with RandomRom. I have to think I was doing something wrong with RandomRom cuz my battery life was terrible and the FC's. I did the same thing each time I installed them, but as said before, each phone is different.
Good luck!

I was running the scrambled eg22v4, just installed v7 this morning and so far it seems a little better. Only complaint is my battery seems to be going down a little faster, but it could be cuz I've been messing with loading stuff and resetting everything up. I'll give more feedback when I've had it a few days. ACS Go Green wasn't bad either.
Hello,
Yet another "which rom?" thread, but I'm hoping people can either concur or deny for all the magic reportedly gained by Synergy's "God Mode," performance is still not that great.
I was using netarchy's BurntDroid for about 10 months, and figured I'd hit up this god mode to get even more performance out of the system. However, after flashing, not only was there no gain, but responsiveness of Rosie as well as all of the apps is much worse. Yes, the ROM looks great, this is quite obvious; but with the performance this poor, I just can't stay with it.
Now, I'm wondering, to do with the God Mode magic, how do I know it's there? How do I verify that the partitions are designed as explained? I guess, I'm so disappointed that I'm skeptical of myself... am I doing it wrong?
Other than that, the old generic question, which ROM looks pretty nice and has the best performance?
Thanks,
Matt

I've tried both Synergy w/godmode and without, and my phone performs better without. I use the GoldenMonkey 1.1 kernel, and have 0 complaints.
Really depends on what you want for features and style.
A lot of the ROMs are pretty similar, but some allow for more customization of things like the Rosie Launcher and notifications.
Personally, I've had a lot better performance and luck with Myn's Synergy ROM over Virus' Synergy Kingdom. I loaded up Synergy Kingdom and it was just laggy and slow for like a day; Myn's is pretty slick and I haven't had any issues with it.
I also like the MikG ROM.
Those are the main ones I've tried and recommend. Although right now I'm having data issues, and I don't know if it's the ROM or my phone or Sprint or what.
I have tried Synergy, MikG, Kings Shooter and Kings Alliance. I am currently running Alliance as it seems to have better response times for me, at least so far...just flashed it yesterday. Biggest thing I have found is trial and error.

Thanks guys!
I just ran V6 Supercharger and it really improved performance. I'll see how it is after running the system without reboot 10+ hours though; and how terribly it lags my BlastMonkeys when I go in and out of coverage areas (subway).
I'm running netarchy's toastmod kernel, so I'll install golden monkey... why not!
Anyway, appreciate the ROM suggestions... I'll take a look at them and see which is best for performance with some style.
I'm coming from the htc Inspire to the evo and most of this roms are ported from there and they don't work that great on the evo and all of inspire roms has working 4g even cm and miui I cant say the same for the evo. Probably stock 233 works better lol.

Hey branded try caulkin is the **** man!!
There are a ton of EVO roms now, and without reading every single one, I wanted to just ask all of you:
What are a couple good, very stable, and fast ROMS for the EVO with everything working (especially hotspot and 4G)? I'd prefer it to be as bare as possible, I already have all the apps I want backed up. A lot of ROMs (like the one I'm running) claim to be super fast and stable, and not all of them live up to their word. Don't need sense, I'll be using a launcher anyway.
I think you're looking for Digital Karma v7.77; this is pretty much the rom that's leading the pack so you may discontinue your search now...

Funny enough that was the ROM I was running when I posted this. I didn't like all the bloat that came with it...some of the programs were nice, but most just took up space. And I wasn't terrible impressed with the phone, it wasn't very snappy and responsive at all. Maybe my phone's just a dud ;p
My favorite ROM by far thus far has been Calkulin's EviO 3, but for some reason as of late, even with a fresh install, the market always force closes, especially when using titanium backup. But only on this ROM...anyway, so I've begun looking for a new best friend lol
classic v0.1.0 supermagic or digitalkarma v7.77
digital karma...every other rom ive used had something broken, because i dont like Sense UI as much... ive been using ICS roms :good:

Hey Wiz just a little curiosity question... Do you have your sd card partitioned? Because that space problem you mentioned is virtually solved with having your sd card properly partitioned. You sound like you have a lot of apps saved to TB and you're restoring to your internal memory, that of course will cause a lot of problems along with unsufficient space.
I hadn't at that time, but since then have. The problem wasn't low space, I just didn't like all the apps that were pre loaded into karma, I didn't use or need most of them. But for some reason, with a fresh install, it just didn't seem too snappy to me. Idk, I could have a messed up phone
The best rom ever for stability and simplicity was SalvageMod. Never had a more stable and lightning quick phone. It isn't supported anymore, but then again, the Evo in general is barely supported now.

Try it, you'll like it With Tiamat 3.3.7 as your kernel, you'll have like two days of battery life.

Remove the sense launcher and replace it with a different launcher such as Go or ADW and Removing all the sense apps except the ones necessary to keep the phone running.

Wow so that's all it is to turn sense to senseless

Twinturbo is very satisfactory and reliable, imo. Very fast. Not quite naked, but easy vanilla. Best rom for evo4g I've found thus far.

DK v7.77 is great. Overall very speedy on my evo. Only issue is that it tends to be a little unresponsive when swiping to unlock or swiping to pull down notifications and I often have to swipe several times.
My favorite right now is SS_Ultra. AFAIK, it's only one of two roms based on the latest evo ota. It's a bit of a wip, but the v3.0 that was released last night is really great - very snappy and responsive and almost 400mb free after flashing and moving dalvik to sd-ext.

The Evo has basically no more major updates, and most users and developers already had their upgrade available (mines in october), and got a dual core phone, and stopped supporting the original Evo.
