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.

I've been there before. When I had my Hero I couldn't stick with a rom for longer than 2 days lol.

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.

[Q] Will I be stuck with myn's RLS5 forever?

Hey guys, if any of you are like me you have faced the same problem. I've been using RLS5 for what seems like forever now and I feel like it's time for a change. The problem is that no new roms seem to be quite as good. Sense 2.0 sucks battery and doesn't have 4g. I need a solid sense rom with the power control widget in the notification bar, the ability to customize the rosie buttons and working 4g (all like in RLS5).
any suggestions? I am thinking about switching to King's UNLeashed Ultra R3.

Well nightly 28 is all going smooth. Also if you're hellbent on sense, go for king's ultra.

I switched to R3 2 days ago and absolutely love it. Came from myns rls5, then z and now kings r3. I can say this Rom is truly awesome with nets 131 kernel!!
Edit: Also TommyTomatoe is pumping out custom rosies and title bars at a good pace
Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium

You should try all the available ROMs at the moment. There are a ton of awesome Roms out there. King's roms are great, CM7 is really cool, VaelPak is a great nonsense ROM, Evervolv is a great AOSP rom, MikFroyo is a fabulous Sense Rom. You get the point! There's a ton of awesome ROMs out there, and now a days, 99% of them, except for the ports, are fully functional. AOSP has 4g, gps, and full hdmi mirroring now. Try them all, it's fun.

Honestly I'd stay in myns rls5, its if not 1 of the best sense roms out there. I was running cm7 for a good while but sh!t never seems to fully work and just to many work arounds/bugs for my taste. I nandroided back to myns this morning and couldn't be happier

Try MIUI, you'll love it!!!

I like MIUI a lot. I just miss the sense widgets. (Twitter feed, News feed, Calendar widget, etc.)
I'd give it a try, you might like it. Myn's RSL5 is by far my favorite Rom though.

same here, im stuck on rsl5 and im happy.. i could care less if there is change.. ive tried other roms but always come back to this.. updates are just fun but not really a must..

I have used myn's warm 2.2 since rls3-5. Probably one of the most stable roms ever. I have moved on to cm since nightly 19. I feel it was buggy at first but now on #28 just about perfect. Not finished yet though. I feel it will be soon. I am hard pressed to say anything bad it even as an unfinished product.
A lot of the mods most people want to do are native to cm. So little if any theming or modding really needs to be done.
My gf's evo is still on myn's because it is so stable. You know how those its not doing it right conversations go. I can deal with a little imperfection.
All that being said. You should always try a bunch of roms. My evo and likings/needs may not be the same as yours.
Always do a nandroid..

Try avalaunchs avafroyo z3, he's about to release z4, it'd based off of mikfroyo by aik and it's awesome, very fast and themed blue, probably the most underrated sense rom on the site

I'm in the same boat, been on myn's for a few months now. I did flash cm7 rc2 a few weeks ago, and have been using that since, but I do miss Sense.
Try Koni's Elite, I found it to be very similar to myn's.

^^Couldnt have said it better myself^^
I try all the ROMs w/ 4g working that comes out and after 2 or 3 hrs i ALWAYS find myself nandroiding back...
OP i guess your not the only one. We're stuck...

I consider myself lucky, myn's rls5 never worked for me, and tried numerous times. I flash a new ROM every other day, right now I like Salvage Mod 1.1 the best, everything worked perfect right of the box for me.
Koni elite II is a great sense ROM, and he has a new one coming out in a couple days hopefully

haha yeah, I think I am just going to reflash RLS5 with a few tweaks and tell myself it is new lol.

Koni's Elite Series II has replaced rls5 as my daily driver. It's very fast and stable with custom icons and a cool rosie.

VaelPak
I like VaelPak since his rom includes customized settings menu to download and flash kernals, theme up via packages of your choice, and its quick like all of them. What sets apart VaelPak from the others is his constant and immediate response to questions and issues and the ability to customize the rom's look and feel without having to go to XDA. Everything is nicely packaged into one rom.
It's as fast as Myn and it has the power control notification pulldown

Shopping for a new ROM - Please advise

Hey guys, i've been running Azrael 4.0 for several months now and i'm ready for something newer. I haven't been keeping up with the rom dev and after looking at the dev section, there are dozens of iterations. I was hoping to collect some real-world opinions and recommendations on a new rom.
Criteria: Speedy, excellent battery life, good screen responsive, no opinion on Sense vs No Sense.
Thats pretty much it. i hope someone can recommend something awesome!

A few suggestions as requested:
1. Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5
2. Sprint Lovers
3. VaelPak 4.5
4. Kings Z
5. Myn's Warm Z RLS1
6. MIUI
7. Salvage 1.1
8. Calkulin's EViO
9. Koni's Elite
0. King's Ultra Unleashed
CM6 & 7 and other AOSP roms are also worth trying, depending on your tastes.

Here are a few other options
Warm 2.2 is great, I used it for a few weeks, now I use Koni's Elite Series III, pretty great, everything works and it's fast and causes 0 problems (for me)... another great ROM would be MIUI it's a chinese ROM that BigRushDog and a few others got together to make an english build just for the Evo... they've even got Gingerbread versions of it now... only thing is no 4G yet, I mean there are tons of options buddy all you have to do is experiment... and nandroid backup the ROMS you like so you can get them back

I recommend Myn's Warm Z. It has Sense 2.0. It is very responsive, speedy, and I get pretty decent battery life on it (I use my phone A LOT, my battery will NEVER be 30+ hours on any ROM/kernel).
As many are bound to say: be sure to try out many, as different ROMs will react differently on different phones.
Happy hunting!

I have ran many and right now I'm in love with Koni's Elite III. Everything works and speedy too. Getting great battery life on nets 4.2.1 (131). Myns and Kings roms are awesome too!!

Great choice, my friend. FYI: If you find that your device is not sleeping, downgrade your PRI from 1.90_003 to 1.77_003. That can happen sometimes with Baseband 2.15.00.11.19.

Big fan of Vaelpak for the speed and Warm for the very finished look. For AOSP go CM6.1.2 but not CM7. I'd suggest staying away from Gingerbread roms until the bugs in the code base are worked out, even the Nexus One/S Gingerbread OTA's are buggy.

I would say any of virus' roms, hands down tops. His myTouch 4g port is incredible, also his airborne series

Must try ROMs imo are destroyer v2 (or other cm7 variant), vaelpak, miui, warm z, and mikfroyo. Others mentioned here are good too, but the ones I listed will give you an idea if the full spectrum of what's available.
Sent from my wrecked face

These are the best two I have found in about 3 months of testing.
Froyo- Calkulin's EviO 2.2 Very solid great daily driver and quick!
Gingerbread- Evervolv 2.3.3 Great rom with almost everything working. GPS fix on a sense one before you flash over and there should be no problems.
Good Luck!

Well guys, i wanted to report, after only 1 day of using Myn's 2.2, i am incredibly impressed. It looks good, very responsive, seemingly no lag and the battery life! I took it off the charger at 8am this morning and four hours later i'm only at 82%. normally i would be in the 40's and in need of a charger by now.
Fantastic recommendations guys! i very much appreciate it.
