Develop Bugs

Yes. Another what rom question.

OK so I'm done with poor battery performance on my rooted stock rom evo.
I have tried elite 3: Bluetooth wouldn't work and some market apps wouldn't install and various other things were buggy. Liked the battery and feel though.
CM7 was OK but I use groups for my dialer too much so that was out.
So I'm looking for a good battery sense rom were things work. Netflicks, GPS, 4g... well all of it really.
I'm thankful for the developer's work but isn't there a rom that just works without all the little buggers at this point? I don't care about boot animations if I can't use the phone as its built.
Yeah I'm *****in but still.
Any thoughts?

Flame away I guess. Ill keep plugging this thing in and wishing for the unreasonable.
I really liked elite3 a lot. But like I see in so many posts about every rom I had to go. Don't developers get that?
Its kinda like getting great looking motorcycle that's fun on the weekends but can't really rely on to go to work.

Try Dr. Ryder's Eternal Prophency v5.9 or Calkulin's EVIO 2 v1.8 with the 150mV undervolt if your phone can handle it. Both are low on theming with above average battery life with everything working.

Try anything gingersense or gingerbread, you notice a significant battery improvement. Only thing Netflix don't work with gingersense but im sure we'll see something pretty soon about that.
Also turn off your mobile data when your not using your phone, Or find an app that turns it off when while the phone sleeps. That'll help too.
I second that on eternal prophecy too, if you need to stay on froyo.

Seriously man, just look at the star rating next to the ROM and start flashing and figure it out yourself. I'm sure you can read a list of what works and what doesn't on any ROM. If you didn't like ES3 or Cyanogen, you may be a bit picky and should probably download dsixda's htc kitchen and bless us with your perfection.
Done preaching, I have run SalvageMod 1.2.1 for a month straight without any problems and I demand more out of my phone than 99% of the people on XDA. If you don't like the AOSP dialer, download a different one from the market.

Salamander. (Alaman I had to leave this auto correct cause it makes me laugh)
Anyway. Yes I'm picky so get over it. I checked the market and tried some things. Not to my liking.
Regardless I just had to post. I can see star ratings just fine. That's why I tried a couple of roms. I had an og Droid with cm6 and that was neat. Still like that phone too.
There is nothing wrong with me asking for what I'm looking for.

You know something alaman. Why did you even bother? That's exactly the reason I haven't posted before because I do read. For a couple months now and tried some things.
If you want me to bless you how this... suck it hard baby.
I specifically posted my thoughts and what I'm looking for and didn't slight anyone. Simple criticism is all. I love design and neato stuff these guys do. I see potential in it and desire more. Why not? HTC built sense to make android better for whatever market they saw fit. Fine and dandy. I like to use my dang ol evo they way I want and would like to see these things happen.
If my post bothers you and you are complaisant with your phone then go on dude. Ya prick.

I have been running Elite III since it was released and never experienced any issues. Apps have always installed. Bluetooth is flawless. I use bluetooth heavily as I connect to both my car stereo and my computer. Really haven't had any issues with it at all. I love it.

I re-rooted my phone and am using the latest stock rom. I'm getting really good battery life. I can go all day on a charge with normal use. I turn my 3G off when not using it. That's all.
Have you done the battery calibration? It's a pain in the ass but I would swear by it. It's a loooong one time process but worked great for me.

Htc evo rom virus rom
if you want a rom thats amazing for the HTC Evo try Virus Roms there the best i think
my favorite as of now is VR Kingdom and its got 4G and Sense 3.0 with is amazing battery life is good to an extent depends on what your doing at the time but keep in mind the rom is huge like 350MB+ but you wont regret flashing

Most stable gingerbread

I have spent the past week trying out several gingerbread ROMs trying to find one that I'd stable enough for daily use. The most impressive one I used was ASC Bamboozled v1.1. It was super quick and had some cool animations like the TV animation when you turned it off. I would like something kinda of like that. I know that the gingerbread ROMs have a reboot issue and that doesn't bother me too much. It is a slight annoyance but not a deal breaker. With the source of gingerbread from Samsung floating around I was wondering if there were any stable ROMs yet.

The animation is called CRT on and off I believe.

cm7 is the best. no reboots but it hasn't no 4g, which suxs.

I thought about cm7 but I heard there is a issue with voice calls and some of the standard things didn't work. Has that changed with the source? Nit worried about 4g seeing I don't live in a spot that has it. Yep throwing away $10 a month. I hate it.

Until the EXT4 kernel is released from source, find yourself a good stock RFS prerooted EH17 ROM to Odin and then Odin in mkasick's kernel from the new source. I don't think anyone put together a new ROM with the new kernel yet besides CM7. Or wait a few more days and I am sure there will be some.

Hmm.. maybe cyan till then. Thoughts?

Of all the GB roms, Thunderhawk has been the most stable for me.

Hands down acs ics. Its super stable and fast and its ics themed. cyanogen is also great if you don't mind losing 4g and video. Although battery on both roms are fantastic. I get about 18 hours average on acs and about 23 on cyanogen. And thats with a stock battery with moderate use. Ive been switching back and forth for a while now. But been running acs as my default rom. I havent had one problem with it at all. No reboots, lags, gps lock issues, or things of that sort.

Here's the thing about 'stability'. All the GB roms look wonderful out of the gate and perform flawlessly for 3-4 days and then start to disintegrate, act out, cause FCs and freezes. If you want serious stability, you need to use a Froyo rom. If you don't mind a few inconveniences, CM7 is the way to go. It is the most stable of the GB roms and many phone owners are very excited about its possiblities down the road. Honestly, I work in a hi-rise in San Francisco and I don't even miss the 4G, the phone is that fast. The battery life alone is worth the call sound and video issues which are minor at best. IMHO.

everyones phone is different
some people have issues with cm7 and acs ics, and some people dont. so best idea is test drive both roms, to see have your phone acts it them. and with the video issue there are other players in the both markets that can help with that. and with cm7 its just plug and play no extra steps to get it to work and with acs ics there other things you have to do to get it to rite.

ACS ICS seems to be pretty good so far. No major concerns to this point, albeit early stages of testing.

Don't you know not to invest in something for features it may have one day... that's what got us into trouble with the Epic 4G in the first place (6 month late Froyo, endlessly delayed Gingerbread, TV Out, FM radio...)!
Anyways, whenever someone asks "what's the best rom?", you'll always get very biased responses. You'll generally hear cries of "ACS!" and "Cyanogen!". While the acclaim is generally deserved, my own testing hasn't yet shown anything too fantastic in their current GB versions. ACS ICS has a somewhat glitchy launcher, but if you like it have at it. CM7 did not have anything special I could find, nor did it perform to my typical battery standards.
Try them all out, each has their own merits and each phone performs differently with different roms. Don't forget the others like Hurricane or Urban.
Or you can just follow the crowd .

When I came to XDA, I read the threads under each ROM to see what the features were and what problems people were having. People coming here now are too damn lazy to do this and want us to tell them exactly what to put on their phone. I would lke nobody to answer threads on "what's the best ROM" and maybe people will stop being lazy and read.

If everyone liked the same thing there would be only 1 rom. Read like kenny and random suggested. Find the one with the most features that you personally need or want. I try just about every rom on here and always find my way back to thunderhawk. It just has the best mix of all the features I need working.

POLL: What is your favorite rom thus far

Just wondering what everyone else likes for a rom. Feel free to tell us your likes or dislikes with your current rom. With the choices we have available to us on this device, I'm sure some are wondering which rom is right for them.... this poll should give people some kind of direction.
EDIT: I must apologize. I must of been tired to miss putting viperROM on the poll list. Don't suppose there is a way to edit that poll is there?

I'm loving Starburst and glad I finally budged out of my curmudgeonly ways off of stock as I wait for CM. It's very full featured and allows tweaking without turning into a theme-fest. I was very surprised with it.
Though I am also preparing my phone to try out some other ROMs today....I'm a big fan of Calkulins work so I'm pretty eager to try that out.

Calkulin FTW
Although to be fair I haven't tried starburst yet. Didnt boot when I tried it but it was my first attempt at a custom ROM on this phone so I am sure I did something wrong

To be honest, and maybe this means I'm a ****, but when I read about people having all kinds of problems with a rom or a kernel or a mod or anything my first thought is automatically "they probably fncked something up."
A vast majority of the times this is, in fact, the problem. I'm on my 8th? 9th? Android device. I hack 'em up to pieces. I try to be a good boy and read everything thoroughly...but I don't. I skim for the important bits. If I screw something up it's usually pretty obvious, then I fix it, then it works. I have never actually had a ROM that has destroyed my battery life (I have with experimental kernels, but, to be expected), I have never lost 3G function, I have never gotten unfixable bootloops, I have never killed my wifi or 4G to where a full wipe and reflash didn't bring it back...never. For years now I have been hearing some wild problems from people and never actually experienced any of them for myself in a way that wasn't fixable, by myself.
I have gotten better battery life, faster internet, working youtube, faster wifi (the 'wifi n' mod on Evo4G), etc etc etc.
I don't know, I'm always skeptical of people claiming a rom or kernel are screwing things up when there are other people with no problems at all.
Alpha and Beta roms notwithstanding, lol

viper for some reason not on here..
but anyway, my vote is for viper. Need to try Calkulin more though

yeah.. where's viper? I think the rom is quiet good.. and nobody 's seems to complain much on his thread..

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.

IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...

no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.

Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)

As far as options on a theme, I found that Juggernaut seems to have the most rom options and controls. If you need to use wifi calling, android zombie seems to work pretty well with it from what Ive read over. Ive also tried beastmod and Ive gotten great battery life with it. Im fairly new to flashing roms so Ive only tried these three and havent had any issues with them.

What about Tuesday?
Hey... what about "Tuesday" rom? I ran the beta... been running Tuesday Early Afternoon for 4 days now. It's a real clean & stable rom... themed nice... and has working XLoud and Bravia! Only issue I had was fc on DSP Manager which was a quick fix. Everything works and I get 18-26hrs battery w moderate use (5-9hrs wi-fi, 1-2 hours phone use, 10-15 texts, 2-4hrs on XDA amd whatever other **** I do). I ran Juggernaut for a week or so. Nice rom as well... Tuesday just fits better.
Just my thoughts. Good luck!
