New to the EVO. Tips - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got the EVO. Had a hero rooted with cm7. Wanna know the simplest way to root this phone. My knowledge of rooting is quite good, so I know what I'm doing. Also, what're the best overall sense and aosp roms that just work. Is miui a good rom? kernels with good speed and battery? One more thing.. my data speed is like half as fast as it was on my rooted cm7 hero, is there a way to fix that?

[Question] Which Rom?

Just bought my evo 4G and I can't stand HTC sense so what would be the best Rom to put on it, personal preference of course. Also it doesn't have service yet and I wanna flash it with boost mobile does anyone know how to do that? I'm a pretty experienced flasher so I'm not worried.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I highly recommend miui (not sense) and myn's else 5( modded sense). I can't comment on flashing to boost.

No idea on boost but I like mik froyo 4.4 for my rom.
What would be q good gingerbread rom

Personally I think cm7 nightlies are the way to go if you're willing to rough it a little and use a ROM that's in the works. However what works for me may not work for you... I'd go to Dev and try out a few. It doesn't take long to flash a rom and after a couple hours you should be able to know if it'll work for you on a longer term.
yea I'm not a noob at this at all I use the night lies on my mytouch 4g I'm just new to the evo and wanted to get a feel of what the community thought

I use CM7 rc4 with adw ex or launcher pro (depending on my mood) You can also find a lot of good themes for it in the themes and apps section. I like it a lot but ymmv. If you wanna stay with sense, Myn's warm is a good rom, but there havent been any updates in a while.
Thanks I will look it up.

It really boils down to what is good for your taste. I personally got sick of aosp so I went on a r&d hunt to get these sense roms to have respectful battery life. The most popular roms are usually in the 1st two pages of the dev section. Read them and see what jumps at you.

I am sort of old school and don't care much for a bunch of customization. Rather, I prefer good battery life and system speed coupled with minimal if any bloat/stock apps that aren't useful to me. I am stuck on CM 6.1.2 as an aosp rom (don't care for the appearance of cm7/gingerbread, I like vanilla a lot) and FreshRom for Sense when I feel like it. Both roms give me great battery life (24 hours+ with minimal-moderate usage) and are both very stable, no force closes/crashes. I don't mess with different kernels, I just use the ones included with the rom to begin with.
As has been said though, play around with a bunch of them until you find something you like.
If you're new to ROMs, I would at least check out, Miui, CM7 (or variants of, like destroyer), VaelPak, MikFroyo and anything by Kings or Myn. For sense ROMs, just look at screen shots and see which one you like.
Thanks guys I appreciate it
Is it ok to flash different roms a few times a day? One time I did a NAND backup cuz I didnt like the rom I was on and my phone got messed up, so im nervous now.
I want to get rid of the bloatware and get good speed and battery life.

Yes. Flash as often as possible !!!!
swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
which rom is good for battery life? And any suggestions on a good gingerbread rom?
Destroyer, Salvage-Mod, CM7. All should have good battery life.
Myn Warm's TwoPointTwo. My first rom I ever flashed and I don't think I'll go back to anything else. It's awesome.

(Q) Is there a better rom than UD

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.
Sent from my Vision using XDA App
what do you mean by you can't find it anymore...?
http://www.blackdroidmod.com/
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

can anyone please tell me how this UD rom is better than Cyanogen?

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
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
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....
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well I'm just looking to have it. I run my G2 at 1ghz. I just like having the ability to have more.

How do you have yours set up? I have CM7 with Savaged Zen and it runs faster than any other ROM/kernel combo I've tried.
Im not running setcpu so its not overclocked or underclocked

Good luck with that kind of find...
If you're looking for a sense-like feel, why not just go with a sense ROM? I personally use Synergy ROM and everything works super fast, no issues, and service seems to be better than when I had CM7 on it. That and sense ROMs also make full use of the phone's hardware, such as the camera...
The support and extras are a pretty sweet deal, as well.

Signal strength is not universal. You can have the same signal strength on your phone but it will display as a different number of bars based purely on your ROM. CM seems to be one of those ROMs where I have a really good signal yet I'm only showing about 2 or 3 bars. Its just the way the ROM displays it. Flashing another ROM and getting more bars doesnt mean your signal strength is any stronger or weaker at all.
Also, if you're looking for a sense feel then just get a sense ROM. There are a lot out there to choose from. I'm actually thinking of running Boot Manager on my phone and flashing a sense ROM alongside CM7 so that I can make use of the abilities of the sense ROMs when I need to.
I switch between Fresh 4.22 and CM7 pretty regularly and love battery life/performance of both. I use Tiamats 4.1 SBC on CM7 and the stock kernel on Fresh, although it would be choice if there were a Sense SBC kernel.

Any chance u got the link for that frsh 4.22?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I keep coming back to Mik's roms. On MikG now and love it. Battery life is great too but then I use all the app tricks I can find. App2SD / DroidWall / SetCPU / StartUp Auditor. If your signal strength is bad just call Sprint and ask for an Airvanna. Once it's hooked up you should be up to 4/5 bars constantly. That's been my experience.
Have you tried team nocturnals merge Rom its sense based with an soap feel its pretty nice if you are trying to have your cake and eat it too

I just got bored of MIUI, what do I do?

This was the most stable ROM ever for me and ever since I got an iPod touch, MIUI looks bad..I'm thinking of going back to Sense but I'm clueless. Any suggestions?

any of the sense 3.5 roms are great.
MIUI doesn't look bad.. Try a few themes there are some great ones.
I'm pretty certain that MIUI is the easiest rom for customization (using the theme app).
You can change pretty much every aspect so it can't just "look bad".
Ok that's the thing I've tried a bunch of different themes and I just don't like miui anymore. Probably the iPod made me sick of it. Now which sense roms we talking here? Can I get some links?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Try mikG. His roms are pretty stable. Go to themikmik.com or themes/ mikroms.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
was never a big muiui fan because of the iphone feel it kinda had and sense roms are awesome for stability but just didnt like any of the roms that people came out with....up until tonight cm7 was my clear cut #1 choice but had an issue so id say evo deck or cyanogen paired with tiamat for the tier rom kernel experience...and with sense tho ive found some with crazy add ons
try some of these the guy has horrible reviews and spelling but the roms are sick to try
and they have a cyanogen ics rom

decks seems to run a little better for me than cm7... I get better battery, but they are nearly the same, as decks is based off CM
go with Joelz's sense 3.5 or tommy tomatoes 005. They are both fantastic. Tommy built launcher 2 in so you can use that and have the AOSP feel
Yeah, was looking for from something stable but good performance.

What about the Synergy ROM? Sense "3.0" with what I hear working 4G, GPS, WiFI.
Trying to make up my mind also, sinceIi really dont have a whole lot of time to "try before i buy".
I've tried synergy. Bad experience. Just super laggy but have not tried the 3.0 unless all synergy have 3.0.
