That's pretty much why I just use a rooted version of the stock rom.

Yeah, right now im using the stock rom with netarchy kernal

Im a huge fan of the Damage Control and Fresh ROMs. Im a bigger fan of the Fresh ROM and am currently running his 0.5.3 version. Anything that has been removed by the developer you can always re add to make it your own.

I'm using Damage Control right now, but it gets the boot as soon as CyanogenMod is released.

Hey guys, could you either describe or post links to threads describing some of the roms that you're bringing up?
I mainly rooted my phone to customize the hell out of it, but now I'm interested in things liek overclocking it, and using less battery without losing use of my camera and camcorder.

Ok ok so which would be the closest to the features that sense offers by the way on those roms can u use sense widgets

if you really really like sense and do not want to get rid of it you don't have to. the ROMs like Fresh and DC uninstall only parts of Sense...and they put those parts in a folder. if you to add something back like FriendStream or FMRadio for example, then you just double click it to reinstall it.
from your two posts, i'd say use Fresh 1.0.1 or stay with your clean rooted rom. it's ok either way...the nifty thing about getting full root w/ NAND is that you can create an 'image' of you EVO. then load up the DC ROM or the Beast ROM...if you don't like it, revert back to your image and away you go. figure about 5min to create or restore from an image.
install something like adw.launcher or launcherpro and then you can actually see what breaks when your not using sense. (it is very easy, simple and non destructive to flip flop which 'application launcher' you use)
Fresh - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726090
I think Fresh may be a bit more conservative in his work than the DC team. HTC Sense will still be available on both once you are rooted and booted. it won't be until you install/use an alternate launcher that Sense widgets have issue. if you continue to use Sense then you can reinstall those component very easily.
i would suggest that you spend more time reading the Development thread. the answers ARE all here...unfortunately, threads like this one add to the overall chaos on the site. but its ok...search tools are your friend.
TJDuckett - read up on DamageControl and Fresh. Toast and Netarchy have custom kernels available. CM6 will be out soon, you will probably want to read up on it as well. use the xda search or google ( add site:xda-developers.com to your queries). good luck and enjoy.

Oh wow that's alot of good info thanks alot, i try to do as much research as possible before i post anything... one last question n i think i'll be good to go. When i did the nandroid backup image (i have clockwork recovery) that image when loaded is a full restore of how i had it when the image was created

I have a question about the flash 10.1 that's included... is it ACTUAL full flash, or is it the one that I read about on here (in the NO FROYO NEEDED! thread), that's pretty much bunk?
If it's actual, full flash, then is it one that I can just add onto what I have now?
Because, I'm running rooted 1.47.651.1 with damned near the exact same, custom theme, and don't really see the difference between what I've got and what's listed on this rom.
... definitely not trying to put down anyone's efforts, and in fact I'm asking, because it's so similar to what I'm running that it may be what I go for if it has something enticing.

[Q] Which root has least Sprint crap, most stable WiMAX, and best battery use??

So far I have tried unrEVOked and AVA-FROYO V10.
unrEVOked is little bit behind on latest kernels and is stuffed with Sprint garbage. It did have great battery life with 4G and WiFi enabled (12 hours for me).
AVA-FROYO V10 was OK, very little Sprint crap... but battery life on it was extremely unpredictable (from 4 hours to 12 with cell standby chewing up most).
Unfortunately the latest radio update messed it up and now I need to reflash everything, so might as well look at other roots.

Do you mean ROM?

WRONG SECTION !
unrEVOked and kernels ? LOL

I am sure they will move it to the right section.
Yeah, you are right, I did mean ROM. Had a massive brain cramp, so I called it a root
Re. unrEVOked, hey, I had to start somewhere

I didn't have the best luck with AVA V10, but V9 has incredible battery life. Here is a link:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/kqCqyssL/Ava_Roms.html

Whichever ROM you download, you can open the zip (don't extract), go to system>apps and delete any apks you don't want it to install when you flash it. Of course, make sure you know what apks you are removing first so you don't get problems later and have to end up re-downloading/re-flashing your phone.

unrEVOked is not a ROM, nor a kernel, and has nothing to do with battery life. Other than the superuser app showing up, it should not affect anything at all. It's a rooting process, specifically intended to unlock your NAND (S-Off, visible in the bootloader).
Popular ROM options are Fresh, MIUI, CyanogenMod. Fresh has fully working WiMax. CM is close. Don't know about MIUI, but it's probably not packing working 4G. None of them have any of the Sprint apps by default.
You can bake your own Fresh ROM with whatever you want included. CM doesn't even include the Google Apps by default (you can add them easily), so it's even trimmer.
Once you are fully rooted, and familiar with the nandroid backup process (and Titanium Backup), you can switch between ROMs fairly easily and make your own decisions.
To get started, root and then flash Fresh. Actually, wait a few days (but don't accept the current OTA if you haven't already), and install Fresh once it's been updated. Because it's based on stock with Sense, you can probably flash without clearing your data (DO clear your caches) and get off to a quick start.

Yeah, I am still learning this rooting process. I have very little time available for playing around a bit and no way in hell am I going to use time of my devs in the office. Hence me doing it the lazy way - asking you which ROM is the best for my needs and then flashing and forgetting it.
BTW, thanks for the advice so far. Saving me a lot of time!

MYNs is popular or if you want a stock one, I suggest looking at the ReEngineered Stock ROM that aamikam made. He spent alot of time fixing up the apks so that they are smaller in size and speeds up the ROM.

i would just find a rom that you like and run with it. the rom itself shouldn't make THAT much difference. from what i have seen, its your kernel that really makes the difference in batter-life and performance. Most of the bloat-ware in the majority of these roms can be removed pretty easily.
Myn has some great stuff for ROMS. Ava V10 (if you have bad battery, try a different kernel)
Here are my 3 fav Kernels:
Hero's Laptop Kernel (all i have to say is WOW)
Net's 4.2 or 4.1
King's CFS

ROMs:
Sense: Calk's or Myn's or for a pure stock feel try ReEngineered 3.70.651.1.
AOSP: Cyanogen Mod (No Contest)
Kernels:
I always stick with Stock on all the ROMs I have tried.
Have fun flashing man.

Try Azael X its very fast very little no bloat and stable 4G plus battery life is great he will update to 3.70 soon he's working on it now Rick is very picky about letting his roms out with bugs so he tests and tests before release

[Q] VaelPak 3.2 RC2

I just flashed VaelPak 3.2 RC2 and am wondering if anyone else has it?
How do I access the bonuses of rooting and how do I change themes/icons?

I don't use that rom, but did you read through the dev's thread for info and instructions?
We're comin from a pure power source.

I have used VaelPak and it is awesome. I'm not on it currently, however, there is a theme section within Vaelpak's menus, either in the app drawer or in the settings section (i don't recall). Anyway, many of the changes are made without having to go into recovery and flash. He makes it very simple to do. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my reply, but as I aforementioned, I'm not using that particular rom right now.

What rooting bonuses are you looking for? There is a VaelPak Settings app in the app drawer and in menu>settings. Either way gets you to the same thing. You'll find all the add-ons and customizations in there.

go to the market and install the Vaelpak forum app

Pretty sure it comes with Forums and Settings apps pre-installed. Market mostly used for updating.

It is awesome in every sense of the word. The detail and care that goes into his rom is like nothing I have ever seen. I have been floored by the performance and sheer beauty of it. I wouldn't even think of going elsewhere.

where did you find RC2 man?

http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/843-vaelpak-32-rc-2/
If you go into VaelPak Settings, you should be able to download a flashable zip that will update you from RC1 to RC2, but I would probably recommend just backing up your apps and launcher settings, then wiping and flashing RC2. Vaelek mentioned there was a higher instance of issues when updating vs. flashing clean.

That is correct, a clean install of RC2 works best. I've been rocking it since the night of release and love it.
There's actually a few good reviews of it out right now, here's one for instance. http://therootofallevo.com/2011/04/evo-4g-rom-vaelpak-3-2-rc2/#

If your looking to Change a notification icon go into the vealpak settings then to theme builder choose what mod you want and it will make a flashable zip on your sd card you can flash in recovery

[Q] Evo 4G Kernel

I just recently installed a custom ROM and i wanted to overclock my Evo because it was laging a bit but i heard that to overclock your evo you have to have a custom kernel. I have no idea what a kernel even is, lol. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a good kernel, that i can use to both overclock my fone, and that won't brick it. If it helps im using the Longed Shooter ROM. And just to let you know, im new to this stuff so go just a tadddd bit easy on me

chopsuey, goldenmonkey, poonsense and freedom are the current gingersense kernels meaning they run on android 2. 3. 3 Roms with sense tiamat, savaged-zen are the aosp kernels I know of off hand as I don't run aosp my particular phone doesn't like aosp for some reason after an hr or 2 every aosp Rom bootloops. I personally run The EVO classic v 0. 0. 3 with more freedom v. 9 golden monkey 1. 1 or chopsuey 9. 2. 7 depending on what I need battery performance or hdmi chopsuey 9,. 2. 7 runs hdmi well on my phone aggressive or more freedom give me good batterylife. and goldenmonkey gives me good performance for heavy graphics gaming but sacrifices the batterylife a bit just pick one or more to test download to ur SD and save somewhere ull. remember it go to recovery wipe cache dalvik cache repeat repeat again for good measure flash and test it out give it a few days to settle in b4 deciding to switch it up and if after 3 days or a week u don't like a particular kernel repeat process with ur next choice. I keep all my roms kernels mods and such in folders labeled what they are and for which Rom if thy are mods inside a folder labeled 0.roms,mods,kernels so its the first folder in my recovery to save my volume rocker some abuse scrolling in recovery

what rom did you flash? if it was a aosp rom check out the link in my sig for other aosp roms/kernels. in my thread there is also a link to another thread on how to set up everything

sense rom - sense kernel (chopsuey, freedom, etc)
aosp rom - aosp kernel (tiamot, cm kernel, etc.)
Its really a preference on which ones you like and how your phone reacts

Most Stable Custom ROM?

Hi,
I have finally purchased a micro SD card and I am considering switching to one of the many optional custom ROMs available for our phone. There are a lot of great Dev's that have put in long hours to bring us these choices and I first off want to thank them for their hard work.
From my understanding a custom ROM can greatly improve battery life, speed and performance over what a stock ROM can give you. I also understand a lot of the Bloat ware has been removed as well and there are more customizable options in these ROMs.
However, the most important feature to me is stability since the phone I use is my daily driver. I will admit that the one thing I am impressed with the stock ROM is the stability. Everything on the phone works and works well.
Having said this, out of all the currently available custom ROMs, which is the most stable that can be used as my daily driver? I know this is a hobby and most ROMs are for testing, but which out of the bunch are the most stable and have everything working smoothly without tweaking or without needing additional updates?
I am new to this so I am ready to try something new and improved. However, I wouldn't be the type of person who would want to flash a new ROM, try it out and then flash something else. Kinda just want to update and stick with it.
I look forward to the responses I receive on the above question. Thanks again.

I would suggest digital warfare v2.5.1. Close to stock, very stable, great battery life. Juggernaut is definitely more experimental (although still stable) but the undervolt doesn't play well sith some phones. Paradox and Blu-Ray are both heavily themed but otherwise stable. If you're looking for a stock ROM with better battery, go for digital warfare.
Any ics ROM at this point is definitely too experimental for your tastes, stay away if you want one flash and be done with it.

Thanks for the response. Yourself and linye have both suggested Digital Warfare. I have researched the ROM and it seems pretty stable. The only issue right now is how to download the ROM? I see the developer thederekjay has closed the thread and it doesn't look like the ROM is available on XDA anymore. Any ideas where else I could find this ROM? Thank you again.

You can download it here.
Don't forget to add the necessary flags (addressed in TDJ's original post in that thread)

Thank you very much. Since this will be my first time doing this I just wanted to confirm. When I download the DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2_TDJ.zip file, before placing it on my SD card and flashing I should rename the file as per below example:
DARKSIDE.DIGITAL.WARFARE_v2_TDJ-wipe-twmod.zip
This in essence will:
-wipe = A full wipe that is much more through and is HIGHLY suggested over any wipe options in recovery menu. It will also format partitions to EXT4 (NOTE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA! DOESN'T TOUCH SD CARD/EMMC!)
-twmod = Installs a 5x4x5 modified TW Launcher. (See screen shot below)
It will also install the ROM as well?
Or is there something else I would need to do? Thanks again for all your help.

You're good with that
