Random question: How often do you flash between ROMs? On a daily basis?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
I am testing the cyanogenmod 7 nightlies right now and i wait about every 3-4 builds (3-4 days). And sometimes back to unrevoked for a gps fix or update prl/profile.
At first, it seemed like every 2 or 3 days, but lately, I've been more content with finding a daily. I had Koni III for a month or so, then Giger for a week and now Mik's, which I bet I keep for a long time.
For a while, I would flash almost every new rom that came out...but then it got to a point where 4 out of 5 roms were all the same base, just themed a little, and a new apk here and there. So I ported my own and been with that/testing changes for a few weeks now.

Do you have a flashable zip I could get and test out?

It's a hybrid ROM... sense based so all the flash of sense 1.0+sense 2.0 are there, but has shine of the customization options of cm7 baked into it

If you use WiFi, be sure to flash a custom sense kernel... people were having problems with WiFi on the stock kernel... there's a link to the netarchy's kernel page in my first post of my thread

I personally flash between ROMs when I see a ROM that has some features that look interesting, bug fixes, or when I get bored.
Also, from my experience of flashing ROMs, some features work better than others. I just make a back-up and switch between 2 or 3 ROMs depending on the circumstances and my need.
For example, one day, I wanted to play Super Mario Bros. 3 so I flashed over to a AOSP Rom - CM7 - so I could play the NES emulator with the Wii controller..
However, on CM7.0.3.1, my 4g crashes when tethering over wifi, but works perfect on usb tether mode. So with that, if I am wanting to tether wifi to watch a netflix movie on the tv, I flash over to either Warm2.2 or MikG 1.x.
I flash just about evening that comes out mostly to play with I'm on mikg v1.02 now and its working great.
And skyraider is a bad ass ROM I definitely have a backup of it thats what I usually run when I'm not near 4g but thats not to much now that 4g is working great even in my house if that ROM had 4g it would be perfect if you haven't tried it you should.

So I am a VERY inexperienced user with making roms. So I plan on using evo kitchen to cook up a rom for myself and others who wish to test it. I would like to know what the most preferred rom base is.

That will be a personal choice. If you ask me, it's Fresh, but that's really the only one I've used consistently. Somebody else will say DamageControl, or Baked Snack, or even the stock 2.2 ROM.
This is a hit or miss and it goes by the user, I have used them all!!! I prefer cm6 right now because with a few teaks it runs so smooth...but right now I'm running Baked Snack and its been flawless all day long!!!All the ROM's out are pretty stable right now so its all up to the user!!!
On that note, what's the attraction to cooking your own ROM? Is it so hard to just find the one that's close to your needs and add/remove the apps you like manually? Or is there more to it?
My main three are...
-- CM6
-- DC 3.5
-- Fresh 3.1.0.1

Well that's valid. I climb mountains because they're there.
I've run every rom available since launch day (save the last three CM nightlies)and i'd say there are some seriously talented devs on EVO.
That said, Baked Snack is hands down the best 2.1 rom available. Bar none the best battery life of any rom out, stable and fast.
As far as Froyo, I was switching between roms daily, but once I flashed Calkulin's EViO 1.0.2 rom I was done messing around. By far my favorite of the 20 or so I have tried. Someone is going to have to come up with something pretty spectacular to get me to switch Cyanogen is a good bet once he quits screwing around with all this pre-alpha stuff LOL.

From what I've read, 4g does not work with some ROMs (I'm looking at trying out Cyanogen). If my keys are backed up, will my 4g still work when I flash to my previous ROM or a new ROM that supports 4g?
I rooted using Xhausx's autoroot 2.2.

4G doesn't work on AOSP roms [like cyanogen] Though there is a rom with CM7 with WiMax based off of build 24 [can be found in development section], and offers 4G. Also, you can use an AOSP rom and flash back to a sense rom and still have 4G.
Try Fresh3.5...very stable.
definetally caulkins. the very best there is.
plutonium! give it a try
Calks, burnt droid and liquid port based off bigrushdog
I enjoyed Vael's a lot, but on Mik's currently.

Post what ROM you are currently using and why
I'm running Synergy RLS1 w/ Warm theme on my Evo
I like it because it comes along with the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, and the developers community is HUGE.
I love sense but I've been rocking decks aosp rom for a while just because of full HDMI mirroring and battery life is great.

Cool! Yeah, battery life would definently be a factor, I barely push out 3 hours on what I'm using now.
CM 7 Nightlies.
I'm using the same rom loving the 3.0 lockscreen (synergy rom latest)
My Oreo Evo 4g G-bread
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.

Alright, let's try to solve this. What ROM are you coming from? Did you do a full system, cache, dalvik wipe? What radio to you have? I think the current radio is 1.09.01.0622. Does your md5 match 888c72b821a250cc5c92c93ce44b4a88? Btw md5 is to make sure your download is not corrupt, a simple google search will find you a app to do this. If you are getting past the splash screen it will take around 2-6 minutes roughly to boot from the mik mik animation.

I'm currently rooted stock. Like I gained s-off with alpharevx's tool, and then flashed clockwork and Su. And yeah, I wiped all that stuff. I tried a fresh download and got the same results. I let the boot animation go for about 5 min. I don't really have reliable access to a computer, so I can't really dl the app to compare sums.

Some Help...
I have tried Almost every rom up here since root was achieved.
I keep going back to CyanogenMod, but OMGB & TSM's Pool Party are both light weight, & Fast ASOP Roms.
Can't stand Sense in any version since I tried an ASOP Rom. I have tried a few of the sense roms to come up here, but I never stay for long. I have much better looking widgets, and am fine without it's over bloatedness
If you want SPEED, STABILITY, CUSTOMIZATION, etc. CM7 is a great choice, but in the end its your phone, Don't be afraid to try a rom for a day and see how it fits you if you don't like it go on to something else!
all of these roms have their ups and downs here are some I have tried at least once.
ASOP
*-CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Incredible 2 Beta
*-CyanogenMod 7 Nightlys
*-OMGB 1.2.1
*-OMFGB 1.3.0 Nightlies
*-TSM PoolParty v1.3
*-MIUI WTF If I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one!
Sense
*-TSM GingerBangVanilla 1.7
*-Virtuous Unity 1.31.3 :: Sense 3.0
I also recommend a better Recovery like Amon Ra or the fixed ClockworkMod by Matt Devo that has many different color choices.
A better recovery will make your flashing life much easier since we don't have a track pad like the Incredible or the Aria and all the clicking gets old FAST!Don't forget a kernel!
Better battery life and the over clock speeds are just some of the things they fix, and some will help with sound volume issues in the ASOP Roms
