Cm7 cause the others are built from the same source and most of them all have a little cm7 in them anyways.

Is salvage mod cm based?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I like kings rom. It is fast and the battery life is great.

i would honestly say the best Gb rom is Savagemod1.1
I used savagemod 1.0 for the longest because, it was the most stable rom.
It has working: 4G and GPS, it's quick and snappy.
As a matter of fact I just flashed the 2.6 Savage kernel and I'm having the HARDEST time draining my battery. I've got 4g on, wifi on, blue tooth, wireless tethering, live wall papers, pandora, and the flash light on and it's literally taking forever to die. At the current rate, it's supposed to live for another 4 hours... >.<;; I want to kill it so that it can charge from the beginning, (rambling lol)
Yeah in the end. If you want a quick, reliable, and most of all stable rom. I'd go with SavageMod 1.1

I like to stick with the originators, the real og's in the game and thats cm.

No. Its aosp based.

I'm currently on cm7 nightly 14. I picked it up and felt no reason to flash after that. What I love about it is the battery life, I'm always wondering how people pull off these ridiculous numbers, but I can get 30 hours of light usage with the clocking governor on conservative. It also has a bunch of awesome cyanogenmod settings specifically. These are awesome, I have gestures on my unlock screen to turn on torch and go to spring pad and such. It's fairly fast and smooth. I ran MIUI for months and loved it but it eventually started acting up and slowing down and I missed the android look. The only thing that takes trouble to work every time is gps. Oh btw wimax is blazing on this rom!

Give us some more details, when did you flash? How did you flash? Have you installed any apps lately?
My fault. Sorry. I'm running that CM7 19 VERSION. I am using the red theme from the market. I can't use juice defender simply cause it doesn't support gingerbread yet. I'm using 60676 prl. Can't even find the pri but I'm assuming it's still 1.77 unless cm came with 1.9.
Flashed it 24 hours ago. Haven't switched kernals cause I have had horrible experience with anything other than stock with myn's. I reinstalled all my apps and kik messenger is on lockdown with autostarts. So therefore it doesn't eat up partial wake time and doesn't open unless I do it manually.

Stock, until you get those issues ironed out. "Stock" sounds lame, but CM7s kernel is far from stock
After that, I use savaged-zen with much success. Though everyone will tell you that kernels behave differently with different phones. Spend a week trying a few for like 2 days at a time and see which one you like the most Also, play with the governor settings (under settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance). I personally use the SZ kernel with the "interactive" governor and find it to be the best balance between speed and battery life.
Interactive all the way man!! DATS DA BEST!

Battery epic fail

Ok so I have flashed a few roms and now my battery seems like its on a drain suicide mission. I used the same Rom for a week had great battery life with sinister Rom tried cm7 and flashed back to sinister for example my phone has been off the charger less than 10 minutes and its drained 11 percent already.
What's going on? It was so stable.

Why is finding a decent Rom for the Evo4G with 4G so darn hard!!!!!
What makes the Evo/Android OS so hard to incorporate into Roms?
If their are any 2.3.5 + 4.67 +4 G Roms that are worth trying let me know!!!!!!!!!!

This behavior happens due to the way in which batteries are charged. It happens on many ROMs and kernels for the 1st 10%. What is important is what happens after that. If you want to avoid it entirely the only sure-fire is to use an SBC kernel.

That makes you completely ignorant for making that statement. Yes it is harmful in the long run, and they don't include it because of that and the things that can happen to that battery that cam cause the user harm.
try swagstr SOS X, it is my daily driver and doesn't eat the battery up on mine.. You may also want to download a battery calibrator after flashing a new rom

Google developers have said that battery calibration applications do absolutely nothing to improve battery life. If you would like to challenge them, be my guest.

Just to warn you, I got horrid 3g speeds with fk23...But I think it could be an area thing...
fi27 and f127 modem with agat fi27 v0.6.8 with the rom call lightweight 0.5 its great I get around 9 hrs heavy uses sometimes when I im bored I switch to a backup of jb fk09 tweaked signed I get about 8 hrs heavy uses
Awesome, thanks for the reply! Just wondering, can you define 'heavy'? I personally use my phone at school all the time, I listen to music through headphones about 1/2 of my total day(4 hours or so) and I will also spend a lot of time texting, browsing the web, and using apps that use data. I'm honestly constantly on my phone, and will have to charge it around 3 times per day.

Right now I'm on miui trying it out for the first time getting used to no app drawer. Favorite ROM for a daily (if I had one lols) would have to be Living Rejects. I flash it at least twice a week. Its pretty much my goto when I need a good solid dependable ROM for GPS and coverage while traveling. The battery life is effin amazing and music come out really loud and clear. But I will say once our beloved devs get cm10/AOKP/PA etc running solid for jb I will prolly be going back to PA or try out KK again. I love the UK customization options. I ran ICS aokp as a daily until jb started seeping its way into my veins now I'm flashing like there's no tomorrow can't wait for volume bug fix ^^

My phone drains 0.2-0.3% per hour on the stock kernel (on wifi with a decent router). The TW custom kernels are not worth using, in my opinion. Now AOSP on the other hand... yikes. Pretty much have to use them.

You might want to take a look at your wake locks. If you are having that drain while the screen is off, it most likely a wake lock. Search the forums for better battery stats.

I'm running HyperDrive Rom and Ktoonsez Kernel. I have tweaked much of the cpu frequencies and used the ktoon governor. However, my battery life compared to the stock rom isn't that great.
Every phone is different so will run different on your phone. I do recommend Dandroid. It now has wifi calling. Complete based on T999. It used to be a port. It's super smooth with great battery life. And it's Cyanogenmod themed.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
There are no "best" rom/kernel combinations for battery. It varies from phone to phone. You could try testing different TouchWiz roms and kernels, but remember to make a nandroid before doing so. Some roms you could try are wicked, stockorama, hyperdrive, etc. For the kernels you should use the stock kernel for stability or ktoonsez.
