[Q] Noob needs some help!

Whats up guys? been following this site for a while.. but never joined lol because i didnt have a decent phone.. Well now i have a evo that i just rooted with unrevoked, as well as i have flashed over to Amon_ra. Now my question is (besides i will do a lot more reading but..) What do i do next? i am wanting my phone to run as it did stock (no glitching or crash's) I want to overclock the evo for more speed, I heard of cm6 & turbo ... (not sure of the full name) is pretty insane fps wise and the quickness it allows. If i could have figured this out by searching, i am sorry i am just very persistant lol.

Well you can always just run the Stock rooted ROM and find a good kernel compatible with it.

try myns warm twopointtwo. wait for rls5 to come out or it will be glitchy with your hardware.
welcome to the root crew.

Welcome
If you are looking for something similar to stock I would personally try "Sprint Lovers Rom". You can install any kernel you want and download "Setcpu" to overclock your phone. My favorite rom is Myns Warm two point two, but I am waiting until he releases his next version which should be compatible with the new Radios, PRI, PRLS etc. You might also want to stay away from any of the Gingerbread based roms until they are fully ported over and bug free.
The rom you mentioned in your post is Cyanogen Mod. Although this is a good rom, it is also an AOSP rom which doesn't have HTC Sense. Therefore if your looking for something similar to stock but with all the tweaks and goodies you should choose a Sense Based Rom.
Best advise is to just keep flashing & flashing until you find the Rom that you like best. Everyone's tastes are different and there is no "Best Rom" out there, it just personal preference.
Hope this helps

Thank you all, who responded I am gonna try out the "Sprint lovers"
"Myna" roms far as the kernel I am not to sure about those just yet. Need to read up still.. lol So for now I am very open to suggestions . I look forward to expanding my knowledge on here with ya'll. I just don't want to brick my phone, I will die! Lol I love my evo!
P.s do I do the "Back up's" and "Nandroid" back up's, when changing roms and kernels?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

first, DEFINETALLY DO A NANDROID BACKUP. as a general rule, backup whenever you like the state your phone is in (before you make a mod) and always have at least one backup handy always. titanium backups are helpful for changing roms because you can get all your app's data back. helpful on games and the like.
for kernels, i would suggest netarchy's 4.3. he says its is beta, but thats just because net likes his work to be perfect. it is as stable as anythign else. it has a nice sbc tweak as well. test many kernels. those are particular by phone. that is why people with the same phone get different battery life. what works well on one phone is terrible on another. so try netarchy's, maybe kingx's (off forum), and some others. i cant think of any more. i personally use netarchys though.

WHICH ROM

I know this question has probably been posted a million times, but Roms update so fast in this day and age that the answer to it changes daily.
I have an Evo 4G (bought on the day it was released), so it's version 0002
I used the stock rom for a few weeks and then upgraded to BakedSnack, which I really liked until it was no longer made.
Now I want to hard reset again, I already tried Azrael (which was super ugly and tacky) and now i'm on Fresh, which doesn't seem so different.
I've read through the wiki entry of all the roms but it doesnt really explain much of the differences, and I was hoping to find ROMS based on 2.3 but I didn't see any that were available.
What are the BIG names out there, the most stable, fastest roms that are the most popular. This is whats important to me:
- Sense UI (I like it!)
- No sprint bull (none of their programs, voicemail, navigation, nfl, all gone)
- Interface must be snappy
- Good Battery life
- All hardware must be functional (4G, GPS, Camera, leds, everything must work)
- Great if it can come with some useful software like- Swype, File Explorer, AppBrain, WifiTether, SuperUser, FlashLight, etc...
Any ideas?
Which roms do you guys use? and why?

mods please move to correct section
op I suggest plutonium, mikfroyo, or myns is themed very heavily, any way you go all will look the same(ish) with the exception of colors changes here and there and transparancy added in places, most will be optimized and be fast

Check out Myn's or MikFroyo

myns warm 2.2 rls5
mikfroyo 4.4
burntdroid

Check out mikfroyo. I've been using it for around 2 weeks and I love it. If you don't like the way it looks you can always flash over a theme like I did. I flashed over slate sense which can be found in the themes and apps section.
Mikfroyo is very battery friendly and the best/smoothest sense rom I've used.

You are going to get flamed posting this in development; this belongs in Q&A. Anyways you should do research as to what you like/want as you are going to have tons of issues with the rom I like and vice versa.
Currently I use Salvage-rom 0.9.6. It is gingerbread, and it is fast. But it does have problem with random reboots and the video camera doesn't work.

Check out Azrael X. Pretty good battery for a non-AOSP rom and ricsim78 (the dev) is pretty quick with the updates when sprint does a OTA.

I'm currently on EViO 1.7.7 b/c for me it's been the ROM that gives the best balance of great battery life w/ great performance.

King's Rom Ultra 5.2.2 is fast with great battery life.

Sent from Evo powered by CM7

Don't the first post of every rom have the useful information he asked for?
Anyways,myn for the win (hey that rhymed) IMO

Funny thing is, this is the same asshat that went into the Azrael X thread and trashed the dev Ric about his latest 4.0 ROM... then the genius comes and posts this? Get bent troll...

Here's another vote for Azrael's X. I've tried Mikfroyo, Myn's, and Azrael's recently, and the Azrael X 4.0 has been my favorite of the bunch so far.
Battery life is great, and the font he uses looks great on the phone!

for a sense rom, asrael X is the best hands down.

Darkstar coconut is an excellent font as well from myns thread

Jesus, so much hate.. and you're calling ME a troll??
All I said was that Azrael's rom was very ugly, his wallpapers are tacky, his ringtones are childish, it's nothing an adult could carry around with him without some extreme modifications.

Agreed
indefinably awesome, although if your thirst for blood is more on the cutting edge Cm7 or kings,fresh,mikfroyo and i know I am forgetting some but are all good in their own special ways its just what you are looking for that is important. All around though the Minions do great outstanding work and always make a complete rom fully capable and with lots of tweeks along with a very large community support network that has plenty of themes.
Currently running Myns RLS-5 with DT a2sd, Kings 11 kERNAL (diving into the salvaged kernals tonight though. I miss the 20hr battery life days lol. Any side insight for a compatible kernal with myns RLS-5?

If you want a cool look: Myns or Mikfroyo
If you want speed: Mikfroyo
Battery/Stable: EViO, Fresh, or Ava
What I personally would do is get a EViO, Fresh, or Ava and put a theme on it.

Best rom/kernel for the wife?

Hey guys my wife has an htc droid incredible that she wants better performance out of. As of yet she is always complaining about how it sucks and its slow and boring. I'm sure she will want something she can use a theme on, and something extremely stable..the last thing I need is to hear her freaking out that it is messing up on her.
Also I have no idea if there is a way to create a nandroid backup on the dinc like I do with the fascinate with clockwork, hopefully there is because whatever I end up doing I need to be able to go back without a hitch...
Any and all thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated guys! Thanks!

Sense or non-sense?

Its the wife..of course nonsense. Lol really though I'm sure sense but as long as i am able to revert no problem we can try non-sense. If she ends up not liking any of it I need to be able to restore to like it never happened and she can go on with all her stuff there lol

Try that or maybe Incredibly Re-Engineered, and maybe update to Lou's #9 for a kernel.

Awesome. What are the general steps to backing up and then flashing the above? (or anything else on the dinc for that matter) the most I have done is unrevoked and that's just as easy as super one click root lol

Lou's #9 and Myn's twopointtwo

I recommend the Incredibly Re-Engineered rom. It is sense based and has been very stable and very good with both battery and performance. I am using v2.3.1 and the incredikernel kernel.
Also, I did not see if anyone responded to your question about the backup with clockwork. Clockwork backup does work with the incredible. I have had to use it a few times myself
edit: Oh by the way this is my first post. Hello to everyone here at XDA!

For "non" Sense I'd definitely go with CyanogenMod 7 RC1. It's fast, stable, and GINGERBREAD!!!

Hi.....welcome
As for the OP: After you figure out the nandroid backup stuff (which isn't too hard, esp since you have experience with your device)....
I stuck with Virtuous for a while which was basically an improved stock ROM...probably not what your wife wants if she wants it different and finds stock "boring" (but still a great rom). Unfortunately, not much development there anymore.
Skyraider sense was my next move. Loved it! Still sense, very stable, but lots of modifications and customizations available (ie: themes). A major upset was the fact that ihtfp69 stopped working on it for the time being.
However, I'm currently running CM7 (build #2) and it's great. Not a final version yet, so may not yet be as stable as she is looking for (though, I've only had 1 random reboot in 5 days of running different CM7 roms, otherwise, absolutely no other issues for me). But if you install it and set it up for her, and point her towards all the themes available, I'm sure she'd be happy.
So there's my experience, hope it provides some insight into the options for the Incredible I'm sure everyone else has their pros and cons, but I have honestly not been disappointed with any of the ROMs I've installed. These developers do a GREAT job!
Good luck

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I put IncROM on my wife's Incredible as her first ROM - it was good looking, stable, quite fast, and had insane battery life w/ the stock HTC kernel.
She's since migrated to UlitmateDroid with me, as it has a whole different look/feel, and tons of options, as do many AOSP ROMs. Give AOSP a look for something different.
If not AOSP, some of the Z ROMs are pretty cool too.
That's part of the fun of being rooted; getting to try on different stuff, see what fits you best.
Happy modding!

Let me dig up the links again for ya.

Being someone who has tried a lot of ROM's and Kernels..
Sense kernels run the best for incredibles. I haven't found a non-sense (aka AOSP) that will run without a few significant bugs.
One of the quickest, most stable and clean sense ROM's would be
- Sky Raider's 3.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
An excellent Kernel that majorly helped improve my battery life
- Chad's Incredikernel :
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip
You will need clockwork installed to create nandroid backups and also to flash new ROM's and Kernels, and additionally rooting your phone can be found below:
http://unrevoked.com/#inc
>> Everyone has their preference and I highly respect every developer on here, but there was just a few things in Lou's Kernel that bugged me.
I'm sure you will try a few ROM's before sticking with one, the above are just my suggestions. When running Chad's kernel, do not use setCPU or anything like it because it already has (a better) one built in that helps extend battery life with screen off, and performance/battery with screen on

Thanks everyone! And welcome to the forums brother
SCH-I500 - Vanilla Froyo AOSP 0.8.1/Voodoo5/NexTheme

Just a thought but if stock Sense is boring to her, she may eventually want to try an AOSP ROM. In that case, I would recommend MIUI with Invisiblek #28 and, by that time, I'm sure Cyanogenmod 7 will have a stable release. Its bad a** and gingerbread based. Also, if she decides to stay with Sense and simply wants more options for it, Virtuous is another stable Sense ROM.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Try out 'Launcher Pro' (maybe PRO if you like it). It has really cool transition effects that your wife would probably love (I love 'em)
It's what I use instead of the regular sense UI.
Check this vid out for a better idea:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIK9yBlWYt4
You can get this from the droid market for free. PRO gets you the widgets I think, not much else.
You can also adjust the speed of transition that will make your phone seem much faster. I know the stock incredible homescreens are pretty laggy.

Dazed and Confused about ROMs

Back story: I am coming over from the Epic. Don't want to talk about it, but as you may well know, the Epic is rather easy to use considering there are like 4 roms.
Current situation: Been reading this board for the past two weeks. There are so many roms and threads that my head is spinning. I figured out how to root. I rooted using unrevoked. I then created a backup in clockwork. All I have done at this point is used Titanium to remove(freeze) all the stuff I don't want. So far the phone is working superb. The GPS is fantastic, the apps are giving me no lag or problems, and everything just works. I have actually grown to like the Sense UI. I like the widgets and such.
Now, like most people on this forum, even though everything is working correctly, I get antsy and am completely against the phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I have been reading about how CyanogenMod improves the Camera and Video. As the Evo is my main camera, it would be nice to have it up to its capabilities. However, I would prefer to stay on the sense UI. I would also prefer to stay on froyo for now. Oh, and battery life wouldn't hurt, even though I get pretty good battery life on stock.
Is this possible, or am I dreaming?
Lastly, I am kind of confused about WiMax, Radio version, and rom version. I am currently on rom version 3.70.651.1, radio version 2.15.00.11.19, and I am unsure of wimax version. When I go through the roms in dev section, it doesn't seem to mention anything about this. Does this mean that pretty much every rom that is not gingerbread is at my disposal?
And the real lastly, on the epic, Rom Manager does not work. You must flash roms from clockwork every time. Does it actually work on the Evo? Can I just switch back and forth from rom to rom through the rom manager?
TIA

Get amon 2.3 you can do proper wipes so you won't have issues flashing roms. You already have latest radio and wi max stick to the latest roms mik froyo is sense based so is myn just don't download old roms from the bottom of the dev wiki there built and use old radios and wi max .
You can use gingerbread roms with out screwing with your radios such as CM 7 and so on .

This one looks like everything I want except the better camera stuff. Will it work with my setup, and it doesn't mention that it removes Swype(which I must have).

LAGGY, LAGGY EVO! ROM recommendations?

Hey all.
I am currently using the Synergy non-god mode rom and hate it.
It keeps freezing and takes forever to populate the icons. I litearlly just look at a blank home screen for what seems to take forever and it drives me nuts.
I want a new ROM!
I see some newer ones out there plus the new WARM
I KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY VAGUE QUESTION...BUT what is "the rom" that people are using.
I want something that will not take forever to get my icons on the homescreen! I guess the term is snappy.
I tend to like the HTC sense...used to that.
I would be happy with Synergy, but it just is not that stable for me.
Thanks
Mike

None that I have experienced. Mik puts out some solid stuff.
Warm put out a TwoPointThree which is great... but new and has some bugs.
What are you looking for? I mean we can give solid recommendations... just need to know what you are looking for... Like:
is 4G/Wimax a must have?
Is Sense ROM a must have?
Does it need to be tested and solid or are you willing to try newer stuff?
EDIT: Also if you like the ROM you are on, you can try the COD tweak and see if it helps... http://vaelek.com/index.php/topic/1...sonic-tweaking-guide-v102-120411/page__st__40

Swagged Out Stock is pretty good, I'm having better luck with that then MikG actually.

The classic by tommytomatoe

THANKS
Thanks for all the recommendations.
What I am looking for...I don't know if I am looking for the PERFECT ROM or what.
but, what I am seeking is a good, stable snappy rom that doesn't lag like my synergy. Must have 4g and working camera.
I don't care if there is a carousel or anything like that.
I am willing to try new, I see a bunch of ICS Roms, but no camera or video. Deal killers.
I really do like Sense a lot, mostly cause of be being able to dial a number by dialing the name.
I guess I am mostly looking for stability and one that won't lag. When I flick the unlock ring, my synergy just freezes and I get frustrated waiting for it to work. Lots of battery pulls....
Oh yeah...good battery too.
Am I asking for the moon?
Thanks!

PS.
I tried that tweeking guide a few months ago. Not sure if I did it correctly, but no difference.

You want one of these:
Mikg from MikMik @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967
or
Evo Classic from tommytomato @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312414
I have run both and they are great and meet your requirements . I am partial to Mik's as I keep returning to MikG when my "must have new ROM" itch dissipates

I was on MikG v3.0 for a few weeks and loved it. Ran great with Chopsuey. Then I got a little bored and heard good things about Tommytomatoe's Classic. I tried the v0.0.5 with More Freedom kernel and I'm getting the best battery life I have ever had and the sdcard loads very quickly and icons come up real fast after rebooting. Also am running the v6 script.

If you want sense I would highly recommend the latest version of MikG. My brother uses it and it runs really smooth, especially when you do the CoD supersonic tweaking (google it)

Try a Sense 1.0 ROM based off of the latest OTA. There are a TON to choose from now-a-days. The best in my opinion is def tommytomatoe's EVO Classic. I'm always chasin' him in the features department. But obviously I'm going to plug my Swagged Out Stock as well.
But just search "4.54 ROM" and you will find a BUNCH to choose from.
Good luck!
P.S.: I recommend these because they are all 100% stable!

Did it always run slow or did it used to be quick and just now running like crap? The reason I ask is because you can have things on your phone, besides your ROM, that make the phone come to a crawl. Too many text messages, too many apps on your phone, too much data/cache, etc. Try reloading the ROM or deleting all the crap on your phone before ditching a perfectly good ROM for another.

+1 on mikg 3.0. I ran the alpha 5 evo deck ICS rom. has camera, calendar working. random FC and no sprint voicemail, had to use google voice.
MIKG!!!!!

I think ur lookin for CM7 or Decks rom. In my opinion after a while ur gonna get lag on sense no matter what. U need a AOSP rom they have less lag for sure. I like MIUI but it doesnt have 4G. So i would go CM7 if i were you!

I feel like you aren't wiping your phone correctly. Synergy is a great and stable ROM (although I haven't used it in months) it shouldn't have the constant freezing and lag that you are receiving..make sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik/everything except for SD card.
just a suggestion..oh amon ra recovery works best imo since cwm is known to not format correctly.
Good luck with Rom choice

Currently using the new WARM, I'm loving it, my only problem with it is that the Rom is a little bulky, like 340mb if I'm not mistaken, so it pretty demanding on storage but other than that its great, got some pretty sweet extra's as well... And the battery life is amazing, I've been using it for about 17 hours while having WiFi on and and browsing every now and then, and battery is just above half, I'd recommend checking it out.
Ribbett, Ribbett, BANG!

I'm planning to stick with ICS (Jared's currently), however MiKG has always been great to me. It just works, and does a lot of little things that you get used to having (intuitive toggles, multiple usb options when plugged in, tweaks, native tethering (hotspot + wired), etc...).
So, if considering staying with GB, +1 for MikG, if wanting to play with ICS, you have 3 options that I know of currently but don't expect it to be as "polished" as a GB rom at this point in time.

I tried deck's alpha 5 ICS build, and the only problems I found with it was that for some reason (there have been hints given towards trebuche being the reason for this) the gallery app is very... touchy? I suppose that would be the word for it, it worked a couple of times, but for the most part it would load and either be a completely black screen or it would say that no sd card was present, which was a little nerve racking when I was attempting to flash another Rom. It scared me because I thought my phone was stuck on that Rom... But I fiddled with it a bit and was able to solve the problem, and from what I saw in his A5 Rom thread both problems had been reported, no clue if there has been a fix yet, but... given that its still in alpha stage, I'd say it's a pretty stable release, I had no issues with f/c or anything of the sort. Very little lag, great battery life, no random reboots.
Ribbet, Ribbett, BANG!
