Hey I'm using the ultimate droid rom for the g2. And it must have got discontinued because I xant find it anywhere. So I'm looking for a replacement rom. Looking for vanilla, no sense (ew). And something with a good kernal maybe the 1.8 or 1.9OC? Anyways looking for better preformance and not a downgrade from what I'm using.

what do you mean by you can't find it anymore...?

I left ud for pyromod. The dev can be a **** though(yeah I said it) . But now I'm on the gingerbread leak for the g2 and perfect after adding a few things. Pyro is good, xboarders stuff is good too, stock gingerbread rocks.
You are aware that xda isn't the only place in the world to get roms right? If you used this crazy new invention called google you wouldn't of even made the discontinued statement

It's got some different options, not sure if it's better than CM7 though. I would wholeheartedly recommend meXdroid or Pyromod here; both are CM7 variants that have great themes with some tweaks to CM7's base. Users of UD would probably feel right at home with either.
Guess I should try this Pyro mod

Also your not going to find any rom comming with a 1.8ghz standard. Thats for advanced users and you need to make it work yourself so you dont fry your phone. I would recomend you stick to 1.5ghz tops. You wont notice any difference anyway unless your trying to compete with quad/linepack scores....

Well I'm just looking to have it. I run my G2 at 1ghz. I just like having the ability to have more.

I've been on Y for a few hours now, and GPS works fine for me. A few people have reported that GPS isn't working for them, but AOSP GPS always seems a bit flaky on some Evos. My own experience with it is that GPS works perfect though. Wireles Tether works fine on this ROM. I haven't been using the Wireless Tether app lately though, as the built in tethering feature works perfectly on 3g and 4g. find the native tethering under menu>settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot. From there you can use wifi tether or USB tether, both work.
As far as known issues, I have 0 (so far, it's only been a few hours). The only bug that had been annoying was the phone going to the lock screen after hanging up a call, but that issue has been fixed in Y. Flash it and give it a shot.
Which would be the better deck rom to use? And what kernal? Im not sure how to do any of the gps fixes ive been hearing either, lol

I would use the latest build, which is 1.2y. Keep in mind that these are betas (although 99.9% stable and could be called stable, IMO) 1.2x and 1.2y both have the GPS fix incorporated into the build, so in theory GPS should work out of the box (it does for me). You *should'nt* need to do anything special to get GPS to work. As far as the kernel goes, every phone reacts a bit different with kernels, so it's kind of trial and error. I would suggest giving the CM kernel that comes with the ROM a try for a few days. It works extremely well on my phone. I also run Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS, and that performs well too. GodmodeV9 is a great 'no frills' kernel. It doesn't have sbc or havs, and is meant to be stable and have good performance, which it is and it does. Just give each kernel you try a few days to settle in before passing judgement on it. It takes a little bit of time to be able to tell how it's ultimately going to perform. Sometimes it makes a big difference by adjusting the governor settings too. Good luck
Hey keep this post in mind because ill come back here and post more questions... Thanks... Ive been flashing so many and im just tired. I know its basically a trial and error but that gets tiring. Thanks man...

Lol sound just like me yesterday. It all depends. In using core droid right now. Still trying to get it sand understand sense. But I'd try that one. The Dev is always around to help. You could also try sense less Romeo or the other one. I may give those a try. Stock look and feel but sense widgets and stuff
Edit= full 3.0 is unity I think
Sent from my G2 coredroid
Is recommend starting with virtuous froyo 1.0.x. reason being the build has been around for long enough and the devs are very dedicated to fixing every single little bug reported.
You can go with one of the more recent and I'd argue more experimental roms based on gingerbread but there are at least a few minor issues that you gotta deal with which might lead you to think that there are fundmental build quality problems with Sense; there isn't.
Happy sensing!

It's sense 3.5 and so far I have experienced no bugs, great battery life and way better speed than BAMF. And why does anyone use BAMF in the first place? I used BAMF for a week before discovering newts inchd and it was ok and all but it wasn't as fast as inchd and its an older version of sense. Plus BAMF had more bugs(or bugs in general) and inchd has better battery life. Just my thoughts.

Also sense 3.5 is more polished than 3.0 and there are noticable changes coming from sense 3.0. It looks way better.

To me it didn't come across as advertising. Maybe its cuz I didn't see many of them from the beginning, but hey lol. I think he still works his butt off for his work. He pours his heart into them for sure.

That's great. But like most things here. I don't think its right to say...genes my Rom. If you need any help go to my site.
Esp to post that in a dev forum. That's general if you aren't gonna work on it here.
Sorry im an xda purest.

Lol, and I respect most people here, although I also understand his frustration with the trolls and stuff. And like taebom said, all the main ROM teams use their own sites for bug reports and support and stuff. So, I can see both sides of it, and I hate that he left. I appreciate what the devs here do, especially considering they do it for free mostly. I love that I can play around with my phone and not be afraid cuz I know some people here and there that'll help me with just about anything.

Skyraider Zeus is great if you're looking for stock mixed with the favorite sense 3.0 aspects. Very well done, and supports GSM.
This ROM is based on sense 3.5 which is actually an unreleased version. It's more refined IMO, and a lot better put together.
Downsides would be in SZ, you don't have the eye candy that is DINC2HD, but with DINC2HD you can't change lock ring. In all honesty, its all preference. Both ROMs are very well put together. I personally would recommend them both to people depending on what they were looking for.
For me, DINC2HD is my daily. I've found it hard to change to anything else.
Hope it helps
Sent from my DINC2HD
I'm just not that into Sense, so I spend a lot more time on the AOSP ROMs. But I've given pretty much every Dinc2 ROM a spin, and I actually agree; Newt's "Incredible 2 HD" ROM is easily the best Sense-based ROM available for this phone. Not trying to hate on BAMF, but I think Newt wins out.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
It just seems to be the most complete. The least amount if bugs, and the funny part is its a test ROM sent out by HTC. I say they're finally on the right track. This also has more free RAM than the sense 3.0 ROMs I've tried.

How much free ram? I'm at 320 with miui.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Well, definitely not as much as MIUI lol. Around 160-ish after a while. It's not huge and I got better on stock, but considering what all this does over stock, and how I was getting closer to 100 using sense 3.0 I'd say its running smoother. Plus, its android so free RAM means much less than on Windows.

I haven't tried inc 2 hd rom but it does seem very nice and I see a lot of people posting different kind of bugs on his forums. it gets flooded with so many post I don't even bother reading through them, if only they posted in the actual bug section lol. I'm currently using MIUI and LOVE it. I'll give his rom a try eventually though. He's a good dev and like that he's responded to most if not all my questions I asked about his roms

I'm... really confused. Someone please enlighten me.
Because the EVO was made for GB ROMS. The hardware is compatible with GB.
You can load a custom ICS or JB ROM from the many available here but I don't think they have HWA. They are also not 4G compatible and if you have good 4G in your area then it does not make any sense as to why you would go with a non 4G ROM. Also, FFC and a bunch of other stuff does not work with ICS or GB. The processing power of the EVO is also a little weak for the animations of ICS or JB.
^ This.
Perhaps if HTC had ever released the source code for the drivers for things like 4G and the FFC, ICS and JB ROM's would be more popular and more people would use them. As it stands now, Gingerbread doesn't have any of the above issues-it just works, plain and simple.

Ics and JB don't have hard ware acceleration?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
ICS and JB certainly do. But not for this phone. Drivers have to be compiled to specific hardware. To do that, the ROM maker will either need to build the driver from scratch, or have the source code and make modifications. HTC never released the source code for the drivers, so no hw accel for ICS and JB. You cant use the same drivers across two different OSes, even for the same harware. Oh well...

I'm not a fan of GB ROMs but I do like sense. I dont mind the 4g part since I don't have it in my area. Still I keep switching between GB,ICS and JB.

While all the ICS/JB roms are awesome, I came from the EVO shift to the EVO 4g for the bigger screen, and front camera. With the front camera broken on ICS and up, it is unfortunately a deal breaker. That is why I use gingerbread.

Decks Reloaded is amazing. It just flies and nothing ever FCs.
Even though I live in an area with great Wimax coverage, I never use it. It kills my battery so quickly. That's why I'm trying out an ICS ROM right now and I've also been trying out some JB ROMS. Had to drop JB because Bluetooth wouldn't work right in any of the ROMS I used.
Long story short, if it wasn't for the advanced notifications and status bar in ICS, I wouldn't ever use anything other than Decks Reloaded on my Evo 4g. Try it. It's so damn smooth.
