So I ended up with the Sprint Lovers ROM on my phone via the Autoroot method.
It has been great so far, battery life is tons better, but it isnt perfect. I find it laggy at times.
So, my question is, where should I go from here? What would be a good ROM to transition to? Seems like Fresh, Warm 2.2, and EViO are some of the more recommended ROMs.
I am also liking what I believe is the look of vanilla android. At least, the set-up I see on the Nexus phones. That being said, what does everyone recommend for ROMs of that style?
Gingerbread- CM7 w/ Tiamat kernel
Sense- King's Ultra or Myn's w/ a net-archy kernel
cm7, its lovely
Try every single one. It's like getting a new phone every week or however often you flash.
Cm7 or my new home; salvage mod 1.1

MIUI. The only thing I wish was that it had 4g. If you can find the version before the most recent, I would go with that.
if u love sense based rom, then u will love sense 2.0 based rom
try Warm Z or recently released MikZ
Yes, Sense 2.0 is much better if you can live without 4g. I would recommend trying Warm RLS5, Warm Z, MikFroyo, Kings Unleashed, VaelPak, Miui and CM7 or variant of.
Myn's Warm Z is to die for.
Koni's new elite 3 is off the chain. Nets 4.3 bfs more haves sbc= all day fun.

Vaelpak has had me drooling on my screen every night. I love CM7, but the GPS bug kills me.=[ Oh Warm Two Point Two is awesome too but it doesn't float my boat when it comes to gaming. Even with a netarchy kernel. =\

If you like Sense and the way that Sprint Lovers in general operates, I'd say there's no reason to switch out to a completely different ROM. Just get a new kernel, the netarchy kernels are pretty nice in my experience. And then just set up SetCPU for some overclocking fun.
At least that's what I did, but I'm really very particular in how I want my rom to look and work. If you're more open minded, then there's no reason to not go out and try different roms like the ones recommended above.
CM7, just do the REALLY simple GPS fix beforehand. It's beaten like a dead horse in the nightly thread. Then flash it and you'll never want to go back to sense.
Agreed on vaelpak. Flashed 6 roms in 5 days. Have kept vaelpak for 2 weeks since then.

How does a ROM help battery life? Mine SUCKS! Won't last an 8 hour shift with mild use. I'm on the SprintLovers ROM from UAR. I bought the Sedio Extended battery and it's only mildly better with more bulk. What gives??
You need to flash a custom kernel till you find the rite fit for your phone. I use nets 4.3 sbc more havs and with the 3500 extended battery I can get a little over 24 hours with heavy use.

Explain that please. I'll find and figure out flashing the kernal, but what does "more havs" mean? Misspell? Just making sure I'm not missing an acronym. There's no way my battery will last 24. You have the Sedio?

This link will explain everything you need to know about kernels with more havs, less havs, sbc, no sbc, it should help you a lot. I get 24 hours plus with heavy usage. I have the sedio 3500 mah battery.

I can get over 24 hours on my stock battery...~28hrs.
I flashed CM 7 a while back and love it, but as always I feel as though I'm not getting the best battery life. With moderate use I'm lucky not to have to plug it in halfway through the day.
Any good kernel recommendations for good battery life? I'm testing SavagedZen's kernel and using it's governor currently. I find it to have excellent life while the phones asleep, but it's a battery hog when I'm using the phone.
GoDm0dE has done wonders for my battery life! Your mileage may vary as all EVO's seem to be slightly different.
Im having a great exp with SZ 2.1.0. Try using the BFS version of the latest savagezen; As to me it seems the savagezen governor works best with their rom versus cm7(if that's what ur using). I personally run conservative or ondemand with a max of 1113 and 245 min. You could also try the new toast godmode kernel! Here's some general info I think you might find helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894880
I've tried a million different kernals and personally I think CM7 just still has some battery issues to work out.
What has become a frustration of mine is that I continually get different results with the same items. In other words. Some days I'll be using the same kernal and ROM release and even the same programs and my battery will disolve right before my eyes while sudden then I'll get great battery life for a day or two.
Personaly I think it has something to do with 3g and wifi issues, because I seem to have random issues with those as well . . . but I don't know enough about all this to back that up with anything more than anecdotal observation.
CM7 + Timat Kernel = EPIC WIN.
If you flash, only use version 3.3.7 or 3.3.8 as 4.0.0 is breaking some cameras.
Toastcfh's GoDm0dE Kernel gets my vote, and that's coming from Tiamat 3.3.8 with the -100mv script from Viperboy. The Godmode kernel is by FAR much smoother and has gotten me better battery life. Toastcfh works on Cyanogenmod so you know it'll run well with CM7

Tiamat 3.3.7sbc w viperboy...what kind of battery do you have?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this helps anyone, but running godmode at 245/1113 vs tiamat at 245/1267, performance governor on both, I benchmark much better on godmode. I know there's a lot more to consider than that but with a lower clock it surprised me how well godmode did. IIRC I got 1333 on quadrant.
Can anyone point me in the direction where I can find the original CM7 kernel to have on hand to switch back to should I so desire? I want to play with some other kernels, but I always like to have the original sitting by just in case, ya know? Currently running CM nightlys with 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01504-gdc28eac [email protected] #1
Any input would be welcomed (ok, any constructive input hah)

I tried kernel manager, but whenever I try to DL a kernel it pauses then drops me back at the kernel selection screen. All I really want is the current CM / CM nightly kernel(s) so that I can try Tiamat or some of the others but still have a fail safe to drop back to without flashing a whole ROM...sighs

Yeah, I have the tiamat kernel...what I cannot seem to find anywhere, XDA, CM forums, way too much google digging, is the CM kernel to fall back to if I do not like the results I get with tiamat.
To sum it up...
What I have:
Tiamat, Savage, godmode, and every other custom kernel...but CM
What I am seeking:
CM kernel in flashable form, and if kernel manager is the magical answer, can someone PM me and you can email it to me since the manager fails to work for me?

You'll be fine with either.
Hard to say, I tried cm many times over the years and now I just switched from sense 3.0 to deck 1.2 w a savaged zen 2.2.1 cfs kernel. Everything booted extremely fast and seems to work great! I am very satisfied w the battery life an only issue I am seeing is a slight GPS issue but I haven't had time to really address it. No one else is complaining about it so I'm sure its me, but even that being said...I recommend deck w the kernel mentioned. I have it set at 998mhz and either on demand or interactivex gov is working great. No lag. No hickups. Camera, mms works. Wifi is grabbing great and it just gets it done.
i think im gonna try out decks 1.2
after i flash is there anything else i should do to it?
Edit: GPS took a day to settle in and now working great!

Get the deck rom, gapps, and go ahead and get sz 2.2.1 cfs. Flash rom, then gapps then kernel. The reboot. Let it settle. Full reboot after it settles. Then set up. Give it a day or two before you move on and see what u think. Also keep your speed at stock speed and see how you like it. Mine is running fantastic. Don't see a need to overclock ATM

was wondering if theres a rom that saves batteryh for inspire 4g.. need that
For most people It's AOSP + Tiamat or SZ kernel + undervolting + underclocking.
Try the newest ROM by Deck with the newest Tiamat SBC kernel and viperMOD to UV.
Juice Defender is nice as well, configure it to your liking so it will govern your data/WiFi usages and save battery for you.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.

Whats a good sense rom thats stable?i mean everything ive seen has somethin messed up like 4g,sms errors...multiple bugs.i need something stable,where u dont need to keep flashing back n forth.froyo gingerbread i dont care my main concerns are a smooth performance with optimal battery life,i possibly wanna put in an SBC kernel....

How about for myself.
I have my EVO flashed over to MetroPCS and currently have Metrodroid2.2 running on the phone. Would I be best to continue running with that ROM, or switching over to CM7.1 along with a patch from the Metrodroid thread for MMS?
What is best for me?

For stability, try MikG. No issues for me. I quite personally use r3chargeD, it is so awesome and I have AMAZING battery life. I think the update to come for it will make it impossibly awesome
ChopSuey kernel is my personal preference

Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.
Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.
