Considering AOSP - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have been thinking about trying a stable aosp rom for battery life and to experience stock again. I hear cyanogenmod and salvagemod are good. What about kernels? Which would you recommend for aosp roms?

Deck's Gingerbread with Tiamat 3.3.8 kernel.
Awesome.

Don't consider, DO IT.
CM7 + Tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.0.2, both work excellently.

I tried CM before but it always seems to take a long time sending text messages. Sometimes it would even pause when I would select an app. It's very weird. I stuck with the original CM kernel so I'll see if changing that makes a difference. Thanks for the advice!

SalvageMod 1.2.1 with Tiamat 3.3.7

You may have just had a slight glitch or pause, but its very smooth. Everything in working, though in the 2.3.4 nightlies [62+] the MMS isn't working correctly yet. Nightly 72 is just about close as you can send, an mms will show up in your inbox, but can't download.

Launcher Pro -Glares-

Its not aosp, but its not Sense either... check out MIUI too with a tiamat kernel. Its still my Rom of choice. Great battery life and themes.

I just switched to Deck's gingerbread with Tiamat 4.0.2 and it's pretty good so far. I'm not much of an ADW or LauncherPro kinda guy (not yet at least). I'll see how this rom works out and then I'll switch if anything happens

If I'm using a Sense-based rom then I wont use LauncherPro or ADW, but with AOSP roms, it's a must have for me.

Calkulin's remove sense was the best thing ever. How I got hooked on ADW. ADW EX is really fast on AOSP

Personally, i use launcherpro, and theme it to look like the default launcher... I think it seems to act quicker, plus being able to hide apps from the drawer and the widgets that come with the plus version are too much to beat.

Just started using go launcher and I'm liking it.. cm7.0.3.1 w tiamat 4.0.2 viperboy -100 extreme

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

Another +1.
This is my first custom ROM experience on the Incredible and its snappiness feels very much like our Incredible 2 that got its Gingerbread OTA last month. Thus far it's been solid, too.
Despite all the interesting ROMs out there to try, I'm getting stuck on Stock Plus v2 very quickly.
- ooofest
Any of the stock leaks with tinys latest. Only sense 1.0, but everything works, zero lag, and amazing battery. Faster than cm7 or any of the aosp roms. 3.5 sense is not even close to being as fast on our phones.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Every time you go up on sense versions the ROMs get slower and slower, stick to sense 1 and you're sure to get a fast ROM. All gingerbread ROMs have bugs tho so some of the older sense 1 froyo ROMs are probably less buggy...

Answer: Jermaine's stock plus
I've installed Jermaine's Stock Plus on my Incredible and several others
for friends of friends. The experience is just like HTC and VZN intended,
but without all the junk that slows down a cold stock phone. Before
flashing his ROM, I deleted a couple other apk's that I wouldn't be using,
and made it FAST FAST FAST no lag anywhere and it only sips the battery.
Can go on one charge til end of day, using it for phone, Maps, and txting.
It's a great daily user with no force closes or problem apps.
Props to all the devs who worked on the end result!
ITSA FINE!

Taking these out did not cripple anything else running on the phone.
Be careful, though: removing others may result in an unstable install.

You don't get the constant sync issue when removing Friendstream.apk?
constant sync
re: removal of Friendstream.apk --
No constant sync here for Google Contacts and Calendar plus Weather.
I'm not using Exchange.
If you run Exchange, that may happen. I think it needs Friendstream.apk
to run OK.
Did you guys thank Jermaine for you and your friends? LOL. Sooooo kidding.
Jermaine's Stock+ or, if you can live without the widgets and launcher, Jermaine's InSensitive Minimalist. They are both superb.
And yes, please thank the man already!

If you remove Facebook and Friendstream, should be fine. I remove those on every Rom I flash without issue.

I flashed this rom and now i cant use titanium back up as if im not rooted. whats the deal with this?
I have been using Synergy RLS1 since it came out. Love it, no issues. I use the STOCK kernel, no battery drain issues, no force closes on anything I have not had to reflash it since the first install.
I also have tried all the above, and they are all great. Synergy just has a few trinkets and features that are just downright cool.

It all depends in what you like. Try some more roms.
For everything that world ROM, illd recommend mikg 2.1+3.0 sense. The best from both htc sense versions.

I'm not really sure. For me and a few people cyanogen was nothing but problems. Works for some and is a pain in the ass for others.
Just go back to decks. Decks is cyanogen mod with a few tweaks here and there to make it work better and have killer battery life. To turn decks into an exact replica of cyanogen just install the adw launcher app. Adw is the launcher built into cyanogen.
P.s. idk if you knew this but all themes and mods labeled for cm7 will work on decks (if that's why you went to it). 90% of the time anything labeled as a cm7 mod will work on any aosp since most of them are based off of cyanogens source.
I'm using decks 1.3 and tiamat 3.3.7 SBC and the battery life is crazy!

I prefer senseless over aosp. What is the base?

The base is Stock Swag and it includes the stock gingerbread launcher with SMS instead of browser. I could make an Xperia version including the Sony Sound tweaks and launcher.
