[Q] Looking for a change...

Ok, I have been on a stock sense type rom since I got my evo and I am wondering if I am missing out.
So, can some of the users please give me some advice on the MIUI roms and maybe viruses roms? Just pros and cons and what particularly you love about those types of roms.
Thanks for any info given...

Have you checked out myns warm twopointtwo? I just flashed it last night along with the gingerbread launcher gingerbread keyboard(which is badass BTW) and the kings #11 kernal plus transparent title bar and its sick. I hate sense but this setup is just amazing. Also if you do this go into titanium backup and delete the HTC lockscreen and you will get this like ultra stealth badass as **** lockscreen that I've never seen before. (No its not the vanilla one)

I like warm twopointtwo but it is still based on 3.30.651.3 and Id rather something more updated. If he updates his rom I will be all about it. I love the sprinkles...lol
Anyone else have any suggestions?

ASOP is justnot cutting it. I love sense.
AOSP is nice to try and tinker but I always come back to sense.

I've been running MIUI since the beginning of November, it's amazing. I tried going back to sense for the 4G a few weeks ago and after trying Fresh and then Myn's, I restored my MIUI nandroid and haven't looked back again. It's leaner, faster, runs a HECK of a lot smoother, and is stable as hell. My battery lasts about a day and a half with average use and at least a full day with moderate to heavy use. It's a great ROM for someone who wants to ditch Sense altogether but doesn't like how bare bones pure AOSP ROMs are.

Did they update the evo miui Rom with the new UI?

Not sure, I don't think that one has been ported yet. But now that you had me check into it, I just found a thread from bcnice20 that says he's jumping ship to the EVO Shift, so we are currently without a dedicated MIUI dev for the EVO

Now that's gay.

Cm is nice but my god the WiFi is horrible. Every 20 seconds it drops....never tried another kernel with it so might be a workaround. I'm still waiting for cm to release the GB stable.

Well you can always flash the latest build and sit on it. I'm still on a month old build and haven't needed to update, though i probably will in the next couple days. MIUI is (was) a weekly updated ROM so we probably won't be getting that kind of treatment anymore, but I'm sure somebody will pick it up soon. There is a lot of love for MIUI out there.

The new version is in beta now. Should be released with all its sprinkles within a week or so, I'd guess. Maybe even within a few days.

I'm on the virusrom revorc2b2 based off the desire. It has the newest sense And ui. The latest should be released any day.

Top ROMS!

I recently ROOT my EVO, so I want to know for those who has gone to varios ROMS what are the top 5 ROMS.
Me personally has ben looking for some Desire Z or Desire HD port, only for the Themes but don't know the names of the ROMS here, or or some Gingerbread ROMS but they are a lot of ROMS here, I;m comming from the HeroC...

Calkulin EVi0 2 best room (I just hate that animation color screen at boot) give me up to 12 hours of battery time.

im new too i just rooted my phone sunday i heard from some people that some roms and kernals are made for certain hardware. mines hardware 0004 is it true
thanks.

If you want to fall in love with your EVO all over again, I HIGHLY recommend MIUI. It is hands down the best looking and best performing ROM out there.

The best rom for the evo right now is the mikfroyo 4.4 hands down. In terms of speed and customized features it is my favorite of all and mik is already working on
V 4.5 so for u its time to start flashing and enjoying your powerhouse that is the evo the way u suppose to. Happy flashing and have fun!

+1 in the mikfroyi 4.4. Makes me appreciate sense widgets.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746689

Sorry, I meant Konikub's themes.

NEED TO TRY ROMS: DONT GO WITHOUT AT LEAST 3 HOURS ON THESE.
myn's warm twopointtwo: insane themeing. blows your mind and other parts (hehe). fast, stable, just very themed and very feature inclusive.
caulkin's evio 2: incredibly fast. this dude is amazing. you will find his 'usb/wifi tether hack, reboot mod, mms limit/compression mod's in almost every rom out there. slightly themed to not look as fugly as the htc version, very good battery, extreme speed, etc etc etc.
ava-froyo z3: this man is quite a coder. he goes deep inside the rom to alter things never touched by other devs, including radio, 4g, memory management, etc. its a hit and miss for some phones, but gets amazing results on others.
cyanogenmod: vanilla aosp, the biggest project on the xda. built on many different phones, huge team, incredible changes, its like a whole new phone. you wont get the same results or features from any other phone on the market. no hdmi (claims its almost done) and FINALLY 4G (in alpha 2 testing, the code for 4g had to be totally rewritten by two guys. thats probably the biggest feat in this phone's history)
miui: a crossover aosp rom that looks almost like the iphone but with the functionality and customizability of android +100. infinite amount of features. this isnt really built on anything... everything is different. a brand new operating system pretty much. worth a flash. some love it, some (like me) dont.

I am currently using this ROM [ROM(S)]CM7-EX.v9, its pretty neat, still has a few minor issues but it's usable and yeah its Gingerbread. No 4G or HDMI.

Well put. I will +1 you on the CyanogenMod. Great stable ROM with tons of customizability and features out of wazoo.
I would also put in a recomendation foe Fresh Evo ROM by Flipz. Maintains a familiar Sense UI but has some nice performance tweaks and removes all of the bloatware. Also has full HDMI and 4G support. Just another simple and user friendly option for custom ROM that does not get too radical.

I like all the responses here and how members try to help, especially the 8th grade kid, lol.
I for one won't flash a rom where any of the features of the phone won't work, despite the fact of the great work all of those guys are doing to bring gingerbread to us, I applaud all their hard work. Whatever rom u flash, make sure u do a full wipe so u can get a clean install, do a back up or nandroid before u start flashing and read, read, read and keep on reading, that's the most important thing, get acquainted with any issues or problems that may arise with the roms u gonna flash so u don't panick and go all monkey if the phone freezes or whatever the situation may be. Finally be ready for the storm, flashing is an addiction hard to control.

I know this has already been said but I just have to agree with Cyanogen. The stable build (6.1.2?) is incredibly nice with plenty to do. On the other hand, Cyanogen7 (i.e. nightlies) are a bit more finnicky (still a superb work in progress). I used the stable build until I had enough courage (newbie myself to android) to start trying the night builds. I really dont want to go back to anything else now, not even the stable. Getting excellent battery life (intermittent tho), great look, very customizable. Def worth a try, if anything

Depends on what you want our of your rom. I tried many, but heres my personal experience.
I went with miui for awhile. Loved the speed and uniqueness. In the end missed everything working perfect.
Went to azrael for awhile. Fastest sense rom in my opinion. Highly recommend if you like sense.
Since I don't like sense, but want stuff to be fully functional, I'm currently on vaelpak. Very fast, great on battery, and the vaelpak settings app makes it very easy to tune to your liking.

Myns RLS5 Rom with Aloysius theme..... Sweet or CM7 nightly 13 with Mixer theme.... Awesome

[Q] What is the best rom to use?

What is a great rom to use that not gonna cook your phone cause of a messed up or overclocked kernel? I was using the CM 7 rom for awhile I loved it tho I didn't like the camera app on there would like to find a rom that hdmi is working and stock camera app is working with themes. Right now im using the Sprints Lovers rom. Any ideas thank....

Well you're gona get a ton of answers. I here Myn's warm two point two is good. And if you want hdmi, you have to stick to sense-for the times being.

Myn's would be my first suggestion. As far as I know, it has all the things you wanted.

Check out the poll. Try them out and see what you like. Everyone has their own preferences. Link in my sig

I like to use MikFroyo the most. Very responsive and everything works.

MIUI. HDMI doesn't work but it doesn't matter, MIUI is worth the trade off.

If you want one that everything works definatly myns warmtwopointtwo
I like Fresh too, but Myn's looks so much better and I think it runs better.

I have seen this question so many times now, mostly in the Dev section. Thanks for posting where it belongs lol.
I have tried almost every rom out there. Some package specific (non-stock) kernels, which may not be the best out-of-the-box experience, depending on your hardware.
I too +1 for Myn's RLS5. It's stock-esque, but better, if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be adventurous, try MIUI. It's fricken' awesome, but doesn't have 4G yet or HDMI. I've found the HDMI personally to be worthless anyway after buying an adapter on eBay.

mikfroyo 4.5 has taken over sense based ROMS.

Myns is very stable. I've been using it since I've rooted my phone, and no matter how many different ROMS I try, I always come back to Myns because it just plain works. Also, Myns ROM thread is incredibly active, and if you ask a question there, more than likely you'll have a solution/answer by the next hour. Ontop of that, myn reads most, if not every post in the thread and listens to what the community likes and doesn't like about his work, and keeps them updated on what he plans to work on etc.
I'm sure other people can make similar arguments for other ROMS, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I just tried the virus rom his latest one it says sensless but you have a option to turn sense on and the stock camera and hd works also pretty nice rom worth checking out.

I've tried Myns, Ava, Kings, Elite, Fresh, Azrael, and MikFroyo. Most of them have been pretty stable, but IMO MikFroyo is where it's at. If you need a bit more eye candy, Kings is based of MikFroyo and has a ton of themes.
Although my biased opinion says try CM7 again

Ya i love the cm 7 just wanting on the stable update the voice mail thing got annoying the text thing that came through with every voice mail you got and no HDMI yet.

Personally I have tried a ton. Sense based: MikFroyo and Myn's. But I would also have to say MikFroyo. After a few weeks of using both Mik is less laggy. Plus he has an optimized LauncherPro which did it for me since I use the car dock a lot and need a landscape launcher.
Currently testing gginggerbread-6 (CM7 RC1+4G). Its not bad. A few FC but overall stable enough to run daily.

Didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some opinions on which ROM to put on my wife's new EVO. She's not very tech savy so I don't want to keep changing things on her phone by flashing different things all the time. I just wanted to pick one great looking, speedy ROM that seems to have virtually no issues.
I'm not the type to flash every single ROM so my experience is limited to Baked Snack, Fresh, and CM7 RC1/nightlies. I'm figuring a nice Sense ROM will be best for her.
What you say?

I ran Fresh before I made the jump to MIUI, it's a great ROM, very stable and bug free. That would be my recommendation. He doesn't update it as much as some of the other devs do theirs, but that will prevent you from having to update often.

best rom ?

just rooted my phone couple of days ago im running cm7 right now. which rom do guys think is the best ?

Not another one.... Nobody can tell you what the best rom is for you. Thats like asking people what car they think is the best. Everyone will have their own opinion, and their own wants and needs will make every decision different.

Try Misfit's Speedy ROM, its Gingerbread with Sense 2.1 and it's pretty stable. If you're not like me and got lucky with an Epson panel you can even change the brightness lol

thats why i ask sitlet for opinions . obviously your bein a douche. you didnt have to reply to my post .

Eternal Prophecy v 6.0 is the best Rom for battery life and nice themed too, but if u like themed Roms u know the graphics ones go for Kings Roms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Don't be so hard on sitlet. Everyone has their own preferences on what they want in a rom. You just have to try several out to see what you like.
Checkout gingerbread-evo-deck or CyanogenMod-7 if you like AOSP roms. If you prefer Sense roms checkout MiSfit's Speedy(RC1). The Speedy port is the newer Sense 2.1, which until the 3.0 roms are more stable I won't do without . All of those are pretty stable.

Try Myn's rom Its's smooth and fast x or Salvage , decks rom for good battery life.

Miui.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

CM7,Elite 3 , Kings Out Of This World.

Most AOSP roms are made from CM7 with a few changes to the look or apps included. I like CM7, but I've been stuck on MIUI for a while. If you can get past the childish insults about the iOS look, it's a great rom and doesn't have to look like the iPhone. There's a ton of great themes for it - if you decide to try it out, you can pm me and I'll point you toward some good themes or send you my own concoction.
If you're not big on Sense, but tired of AOSP, try Vaelpak. It's Sense, but with most of Sense removed, leaving only the good stuff. It's one of the few Sense roms I've tried and actually liked.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

SalvageMod 1.2.1

Basically you're not going to get answers in which everyone agrees upon...test it out.

CM7 or MIUI coming?

I was looking but didn't see anything. Was just wondering if anything was in the works. Thanks

Nothing afaik, but MIUI will most likely not support 4g tho.

CM is awesome but CM support also opens the door for general AOSP support.
And everyone knows that AOSP is superior.
To the op: The SGS2 has CM support so I would definitely expect CM7 for this phone.

I used to feel like that...but that was before things like the "notification power widgets" and all the other options now standard.
CM7 probably offers the largest combinations of different choices for things like lockscreens and so forth.
The theme is the only thing that I believe needs modification.
I use Honeybread and I change the font and it's lovely.

Never ran cm before. We never had it on the epic to where it was stable.

FTFY.
MIUI will never ever ever ever have Wimax. Sprint hasn't even rolled out any new sites with it because they know it's a flop so there's almost zero chance of convincing the Chinese it's important to add to their ROM.

who cares, 3g does the job more than well enough, and there is so little wimax coverage its downright laughable. I just want the rest of the MIUI functionality and look because that rom is absolutely phenomenal
