So I ended up with the Sprint Lovers ROM on my phone via the Autoroot method.
It has been great so far, battery life is tons better, but it isnt perfect. I find it laggy at times.
So, my question is, where should I go from here? What would be a good ROM to transition to? Seems like Fresh, Warm 2.2, and EViO are some of the more recommended ROMs.
I am also liking what I believe is the look of vanilla android. At least, the set-up I see on the Nexus phones. That being said, what does everyone recommend for ROMs of that style?
Gingerbread- CM7 w/ Tiamat kernel
Sense- King's Ultra or Myn's w/ a net-archy kernel
cm7, its lovely
Try every single one. It's like getting a new phone every week or however often you flash.
Cm7 or my new home; salvage mod 1.1

MIUI. The only thing I wish was that it had 4g. If you can find the version before the most recent, I would go with that.
if u love sense based rom, then u will love sense 2.0 based rom
try Warm Z or recently released MikZ
Yes, Sense 2.0 is much better if you can live without 4g. I would recommend trying Warm RLS5, Warm Z, MikFroyo, Kings Unleashed, VaelPak, Miui and CM7 or variant of.
Myn's Warm Z is to die for.
Koni's new elite 3 is off the chain. Nets 4.3 bfs more haves sbc= all day fun.

Vaelpak has had me drooling on my screen every night. I love CM7, but the GPS bug kills me.=[ Oh Warm Two Point Two is awesome too but it doesn't float my boat when it comes to gaming. Even with a netarchy kernel. =\
Sent From My E\/o - \/aelpak 3.2
If you like Sense and the way that Sprint Lovers in general operates, I'd say there's no reason to switch out to a completely different ROM. Just get a new kernel, the netarchy kernels are pretty nice in my experience. And then just set up SetCPU for some overclocking fun.
At least that's what I did, but I'm really very particular in how I want my rom to look and work. If you're more open minded, then there's no reason to not go out and try different roms like the ones recommended above.
CM7, just do the REALLY simple GPS fix beforehand. It's beaten like a dead horse in the nightly thread. Then flash it and you'll never want to go back to sense.
Agreed on vaelpak. Flashed 6 roms in 5 days. Have kept vaelpak for 2 weeks since then.

How does a ROM help battery life? Mine SUCKS! Won't last an 8 hour shift with mild use. I'm on the SprintLovers ROM from UAR. I bought the Sedio Extended battery and it's only mildly better with more bulk. What gives??
You need to flash a custom kernel till you find the rite fit for your phone. I use nets 4.3 sbc more havs and with the 3500 extended battery I can get a little over 24 hours with heavy use.

Explain that please. I'll find and figure out flashing the kernal, but what does "more havs" mean? Misspell? Just making sure I'm not missing an acronym. There's no way my battery will last 24. You have the Sedio?

This link will explain everything you need to know about kernels with more havs, less havs, sbc, no sbc, it should help you a lot. I get 24 hours plus with heavy usage. I have the sedio 3500 mah battery.

As the post states I'm coming from a rooted dx. I had pretty sick battery life and I know I'm going to take a hit on the dinc.
I've tried a few roms and haven't done much with kernels. Any suggestions or tips so I can make it through the day.

Aosp roms are supposed to get better battery life and I like the invisiblek kernels I'm sure I typed that name wrong but I'm on my phone.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I've tried just about every Rom out there for the incredible and I've found that the Super-Z Rom with the included Ziggy kernel is hands down the best Rom. The battery life/battery charge rate is absolutely outstanding. Additionally, the Rom itself is the fastest I've tested. With it slightly overclocked you can hit mid 1800 benchmark scores. Needless to say, this is my every day Rom and I don't see myself changing for a while. Probably not until I get a new phone actually.

I Just lou's senseless rom with this #4 kernel. a whole day with heavy use, and 2 with medium use
Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 with the ziggy kernel that comes with it. Heavy use on the stock battery from 8:30 am until 6:30 pm and I'm at 66%
Thanks for the suggeations. Are you guys using the stock battery. I was using a few today and the battery went from 90 to 45 in just a few hours of playing around. Are there any special settings that i should stop. Ive also read about underclocking?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm on the stock battery. It's a stock flash of Warm RLS5, except for the transparent titlebar mod and the Warm3 boot animation. It's truly excellent.
No lie, OMGB 6 and invisiblek 28 are awesome on battery life. Only problem is some apps aren't compatible with Gingerbread yet, so if you use a lot of emulators, then you might want to go with MIUI (better than most imho).

like nuggy said, it depends. it seems like everytime i update my rom i need a new kernel to go with it.
i personally recommend netarchy's. i used his 4.1.9.1 kernel with great results for a long time, but recently upgraded to his 4.2.1.
you can check evobenchers for a general rundown on what kernels are running at, but once again, every phone handles things differently and your results may vary.

I have an HTC Evo 4G rooted running Myn's rls 5 .
What's the best kernel to get the most out of my battery ?
Sent From One BadAss Rooted Evo 4G On Myn's Warm 2.2 Rls 5 Steroids Via XDA App. ;-)
ima straight flash addict. ive flashed 95% of evo roms and kernels out there, unmatched battery life is SBC kernel #15. it honestly lasts me all day and im a heavy user but apperently it can lead to your phone blowing up ive never had that problem tho so ill keep taking the risk
Others are right. Try a few and see what works best. Try Netarchy's HAVS kernels with SBC for full battery and smartass or conservative governor (SetCPU from the market to set it easily).
SBC got a little harder to find recently, but it's out there, just not on the main netarchy page. Give the devs a little time and they'll work out the right legalese to appease the fear mongers...
I have myn rls5 as well and I use netarchy's 4.3.1 no SBC with cfs and havs (the newest beta) and have been doing okay with it. I typically have about 15%-25% at the end of an average day. It also improves the speed of myn rls5, which I like.
I gave up SBC for all my nandroid backed-up roms when everyone stopped supporting it, but I do still have SBC #15 v7 if you would like it (PM me and I'll upload it to you).
Keep in mind that a few people have claimed that it destroyed their battery, but I didn't overclock and all the data I've read on my phone tells me that everything was fine. So obviously, no one is responsible for your phone blowing up but you, lol.
I used SBC #15 v7 for about 2 and a half weeks and it was the best battery life I had. I ended every day at about 30% battery life and I'm a moderate user. When I flash to mikfroyo, I keep that kernel as the performance of the rom plus the battery life is a combo from awesomeville.
I just rooted my phone. And I was wondering if anyone knew of the best sense romd abs kernels for battery life on my Evo. If so could you post a link. Thank you so much
I would recommend that you stick with the default kernel that comes with a custom rom for at least 2 days. Oftentimes, you will find that the speed and battery life is very good. Having said that, I recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 with either the default kernel #15 or one of Netarchy kernels, specifically the one listed in my signature.
UPDATE: The link to RLS5 is http://goo.gl/9Mjn and for the Netarchy kernels, it's http://goo.gl/wXQt

Best is relative. If you're new, try at least Miui, CM7, VaelPak, WarmZ and some sense ROMs (Warm, MikFroyo, Unleashed, EViO, etc).
Kernels take a couple days to settle in and vary from phone to phone as far as how well they work, so try out a few for a couple days each and see what works best.

Are you certain you don't have a wakelock issue? If you haven't tried it, flash radio 09.01 and PRI 1.77. Battery life is very good with that combination.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.

Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.
Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.

I lowered the ISO down to 200, and that seemed to fix my problem. But in any case, I've gotten the problems in Synergy as well as Mik (regardless of versions).
To be honest, I love Mik's rom's so much, I can deal with the camera issue for now. Battery life is amazing and performance is great. I use Lithid's kernel with Aggressive voltages and Interactive X govenor.
I'm waiting until Virus gets 4G implemented into his 3.5 Sense rom (in the changelog it says this might happen soon). I don't use 4G all the time, but I do like to have it "on demand" when I need and tether.
