Help with rom selection - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running azrael x and when it's working right it's great, but it's unstable and laggy a lot! I've got hardware version 003 I'm looking for a rom with working video recording 4g swype and reliable smooth snappy operation. So what should I try?

IMO you should go with MikFroYo. Got all of that.

+1. It's all right here: http://themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=102 good luck

Azrael is a good ROM. I would try using autostarts and cachemate before blaming the ROM. I never had those issues with Azrael. MikFroyo is an awesome ROM as well, if you like sense. So are Myn, Unleashed and EViO. Also might want to give VaelPak a try (My fav, but I don't care about sense).

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5....EVERYTHING works. It is fast, stable and clean and support for the rom is topnotch.

Mikfroyo ftw. But I am using gingerbread and sense 2.1 and its awesome

Search around a try a couple. Once you have everything backed up properly, you can go through a handful different ROMs in a night. I gave Mikfroyo a good rundown last night and was happy with it. I'm currently on Virusrom Airbourne. Both very snappy. I maybe leaning towards heading back to Sense though.

Ended up with warm, it's awesome!! The camera issue was actually my fault, camera 1.00 was in my backup and when I restored it broke the camera and it appears that many roms don't replace that, so I flashed stock rooted and got camera 2.00 now it works great

Koni's Elite Series III
I've used quite a few ROMs, both sense and AOSP, but a great many have issues including CM7. What good is a ROM if the hardware you paid for doesn't work, or works sub-par? Enter Koni's Elite Series III. It's a sense ROM that has everything working 100%. Everything is completely optimized and the stock theme is amazing! It is currently my ROM of choice and no other ROM has stayed on my EVO this long.
I highly suggest you give it a try.

Best/Favorable ROMs?

Searching through these forums, I was overwhelmed with all the ROM options.
I ask you, what are your favorite ROMs and what separates them from the competition?
minez are CM6 and Virus rom revolution those are nice CM6 because its something different big time and virus rom because its good on the battery and its fast
Good question.
Try them all and see what you like. It's all about personal preference.
I like Damage Control and Cyanogen Rom's
Also, this would be a good question to put in the Q&A rather than the development section.
i have tried them all and keep going back to CM6
OBTW this should be in general
Baked Snack, then CM6
If you want to ditch sense, Cyanogen is the way to go. If you like Sense, gotta keep it Freshhhhhhhh
Damage and fresh are the most popular sense roms
CM is the most popular senseless rom.
Force
I love Calkulin evio series rom. Then baked snack followed by cm 6
Sent from my Evo using Tapatalk.
Definitely like CM the best...but because 4g, hdmi, and fm radio dont work.....I run fresh's latest rom with toast/netarchy's kernel. I also like some of the htc and sense apps/widgets. Fresh is quick and stable for a sense rom with some extra tweaks in it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Most roms are good, although they are pretty similar so just go with whatever seems like the best to you. Damage Control, Fresh, and Baked Snack seem like the most popular. Fresh is a really nice and stable rom that has a great updater app. Baked Snack is my favorite though (atm). The optional kernels really make it great for tailoring your experience.
nm 10 cahr
I've tried most of them also but Caulkin's is the whole package to me Fast, stable and pretty much everything is working. CM6 is great but with no 4g or hdmi I'll have to wait to they get everything working.
cm 6 is tight..
Sent from ANDROIKAY ON CM6 from xda app =]
No matter how far I stray into other rom's I try I always go back to cyanogen. It's just nice to not have sense. Even without parts working it's the best.
Fresh and baked snack are nice though. Especially with netarchy/toast custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I switch between Fresh, Ava's and CM6. It's nice to have choices that don't take a ton of work to swap on your phone. These Dev's are awesome and do great work, so try them all and see what you like. You can always just do an nandroid restore and move on to the next rom until you find the best fit for you.
Damage Control has great battery life.

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.

Really?
I guess we can just delete all the other ROM threads then too..
I'm on the latest Nightly with Snap BFS. Came from the DesireHD rom. That rom is the definition of sick, but unfortunately it's battery life is the worst I've seen on the Evo.
Calkulin's 1.3.1
Best rom I found. Myn's warm is nice too but I prefer calkulin's.

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.

Fastest stable sense Rom?

So I'm looking to get a new Rom. What is the fastest stable sense Rom in your opinions?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
First off, this doesn't belong in the "Development" section.
But that aside, I'd say SkyRaider 4.0 is a good one. Magnolia is fast and stable with a nice "matte UI". Lou's are good as well (Redemption ROM, Redemptive rEVOlution). SkyRaider 4.0 has the added bonus of being extremely customizable with options not in other ROM's yet. And more mods and themes are on the way.
My bad, I thought I pressed the general tab... stupid phone... can a mod please move this. Thanks....

I knows Lou's I'm running the old redemption rEVOlution now, but I seem to be having problems with newer apps and games running choppy when I'm double the required and framework tends to crash too often... now I also am unable to direct install to SD.... that's why I'm looking to upgrade.
As for Sky I didn't know he had a new one, saw he was working on "Athena" but it was horribly buggy from what I read. Is 4.0 that good and nice on batt?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Check out Optimised Sense by Newtoroot, pretty new but its fast.
Skyraider 4.0 hands down. It's the most stable ROM i've used and is great on battery life. I use my phone a lot and can go all day no problem with the stock battery.
Hmm, I have been stuck on CM7 for who knows how long but I flashed Skyraider 4.0 and have absolutely loved it. Skyraider 4.0 has elements of CM7, the Z roms, and the S roms built in. It's fast as hell, and it's the first Sense rom I stayed on for more than an hour in about 3 months.
If SR4 isn't for you (I can't imagine why) then go with a Z rom, maybe Warm Z nightlies or the Incredibly Re-Engineered Z.
mine of course haha
Z roms rock!

Fastest?? Well... Any of the sense ROMs will run differently of course, but that is easily changed with different Kernels
I'm running Skyraider 4.0 with the stock kernel and it's flawless.

Go for it folks
I gotta cast my vote for Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.4. I've been always coming back to this super ROM. Chingy51o has put in a lot of work for this ROM to run smoothly and it shows.
If you are looking for leaked sense 2.0 roms download any rom that is a "Z" rom.
for the best sene ROM, skyraider 4.0 is it. most features, devs will be stealing his features they are so nice. I haven't had a hiccup since installing 4.0 fresh. lou's #8 kernel. easily get two days of battery. LOVE it.

I NEVER thought I would say this until a few days ago, especially after the bad experience had with it in February, where I said I'd never go back, but I'm a MIUI junkie now.
It's pretty damn sweet.
I've used MIUI, and Synergy in the past month and I have to say that they're both really good ROMs, but I like Sense too much, so I'm on Synergy RC2.
Eternal Prophecy 6.1 - Daily Driver and give awesome battery life
Kings Nightly Builds - Can't go wrong with King
Honestly I have tried quite a few including some ASOP and I find MikG to be great. I like the fact that it is based off of Sense. I did try ASOP (CM7) and it is fine but I was used to Sense and found ASOP to be kind of buggy and almost always missing something (many times there were fixes and work arounds but would take time and often a reflash to apply).
MikG is defiantly something for you to try. As for the kernel currently the stock kernel is really the recommended one with this ROM but I am sure there will be one developed soon. It is quite fast and includes many features from Sense 3.0. Since the kernel is stock there is no overclocking yet but every main feature is included and it seems quite stable for the modifications that have been done to it.
Right now since so much has changed with the transition from froyo to gingerbread there are quite a few updates that will require a full wipe and this gets annoying but I feel he is getting close to a version that will last a long time.
I guess from what everyone is saying I will have to check out Synergy though. Since I went to MikG I haven't read much about other roms lately and need to check this out!

Currently running Synergy RLS1 but I am thinking of taking a look at MikG. I like the Sense 3.0 lock screen and the Sense apps. I have not tried out any AOSP on my Evo but my (deactivated) Hero runs CM7. I may have to check out Deck for the battery life.
I've been looking into MIUI, not quite sure though. I like how It's more simple, and seemingly cleaner. Yet I'm not a big fan of iOS, which it strongly resembles.

Decks Rom gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3b. This is really the only ROM I've had luck with! I've tried just about everyone else's ROMS and I like the Sense ROMS but after about 2 or 3 days or so I start getting FC's for no apparent reason for my phone process, then sense, then android system, etc...
So until I figure out why I am having so much issues with Sense I'll keep using Decks ROM!!
Deck 1.2.1 with Tiamat SBC kernel.
Light, fast, and great battery life.
CyanogenMod 7.1. Like the stripped down feel of it, and seems to run smoother than 7.0.3.
Still some bugs here and there, but it IS still in development.
Synergy's starting to work pretty well, though. Just hate the lag from Sense.

Decks ROM? Never heard of it, I'll be sure to check it out though I used Synergy for a few days and it worked wonders for me (love the animations in the Warm theme), hopefully no issues arise.
Since root I've flashed five or six different roms. I kinda like a little from all of them but I keep coming back to the stock I did a nandroid of. I think it runs smoother and faster than the other roms. But that is my opinion.
