I was wondering which ROMs are great with battery like compared to the blood sucking stock
XDA app on EVO 4G
Try cm7(aosp) #36 or Myns 2.2 warm if you like sense; both have great battery life. Also if battery life is REALLY important you might want to invest in a 3500 extended battery or have 2 stock batteries

Most of the more popular ROMs can get good battery life with the right Kernel/ROM combo, in my experience.
I second myns warm TwoPointTwo.

+1. Myn's Warm 2.2 RLS5 is an awesome Rom and smooth as butter. I get better battery life on Myn's using the kernel listed in my signature. Koni's Elite is also a good Rom.
Yep, Myn's 2.2 is the best ron I've used for battery life. I could easily get 2 full days out of it with moderate usage

Does these Roms have sense 2.0 and wimax? Wimax isn't all that important to me because my area doesn't have 4g yet.

Would I need to flash a custom kernel to get good battery life?
XDA app on EVO 4G
I've been averaging 30-40 hours on gingerbread-evo-deck (AOSP) with SZ 1.0.1 CFS HAVS (stock battery, light to moderate usage). I loved Sense too, until I found out how much better my battery life and performance could be on an AOSP-based ROM. And after a little bit of searching, I found good replacements for the Sense widgets I'd come to love so much. I tried a ton of sense ROM and kernel combinations and the best battery life I could get was about 15-20 hours with Fresh 3.5.0.1 and Netarchy 4.3.1. But that's just me. Everyone says that ROMs and kernels can work very differently on different phones, so it's worth trying out different combinations yourself to see what works best for you.
I just don't want to lose any data, so what's the best app to use for backing up apps and other data before rooting

Google backs up your contacts and calendar automatically if you set them up to sync. Titanium backup is a great program to backup apps once you're already rooted, but I don't know of anything that will do it without root. It kind of sucks, but I think you might just have to set everything up again and re-download all your apps (that's what I did); fortunately, it's a lot faster and easier to restore everything once you're rooted and have Titanium backup. Any apps that you bought in the Market, you can download without paying again, but you still have to go in and download everything individually. Maybe someone else knows a better solution?
I can't think of one, but you should be able to back everything up once you Root. Don't think you'll lose anything from just rooting. Shouldn't anyway.
After a quick search, it looks like MyBackup Pro by Rerware might let you back up more than you could normally and it doesn't require root. I haven't tried it so I can't really say everything it does or how well it works, but it might be worth looking into.

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol
There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.
Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.
I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

The two most popular right now seem to be myn's and mikfroyo
Sent from my HTC Supersonic
Myn's rom. It should be near the top of the dev forum...it is very popular.
I am currently running mikfroyo and love it. It is a lightweight rom which is nice because it's pretty fast. Myn's is very pretty and has alot of customization options. I think myn's has a bigger following, if that matters. I would recommend both roms but literally depending on my mood I will use myn's or mikfroyo.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
I have MikFroyo 4.5 right now and I think so far I like it more than any other sense ROM, in the past month, I've been on Myn, Ava, Azrael, Evio and MikFroyo (mutliple versions of most of these) and Mik's is def the fastest, although they were all functional and smooth.
However, if you just want roam control, you can use Cyanogen Mod because it has a built in feature that you can switch to roam only. You don't need the app.
Ohh thanks i didn't know that. Well r there any other features u lose with Cm6 that u can use on a sense rom?

EPST, which you probably won't use anyway. AOSP and Sense ROMs are both good in their own ways, and are both equally customizable. MIUI is what I'm running now. Fast, but don't like it that much. Sense based is my preference with both MikFroYo and Myn. I prefer MikFroYo 4.4 over Myn 2.2, but both are really good ROMs. Mik's 4.4 seems a tad faster.
There's nothing really important you'll lose with any ROM (in my opinion anyway) so just flash a few different ones and stick with what you like.
Altho I do think I was getting better battery life with Myn 2.2, but I might be playing around with my phone more getting it back to how I like it so that could be draining juice.
i use Myn rls5 as my daily driver but right now im using Ava Z3 .... i really like Z3 if i could get the battery to calm down.

Not true actually...Roam Control should work with any rom that you use.
However, previous posters are correct in that CM6 has a roam only option built in, it's called "affiliated networks".

Myn's RLS 5.......I have been a mynion since RLS2......can't ask for more....fast, aesthetically cool.......lots of mods available for flashing.......really can't see using any other Rom...but of course we have to check them all out......Near top of EVO dev forum.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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.
