I've been on Y for a few hours now, and GPS works fine for me. A few people have reported that GPS isn't working for them, but AOSP GPS always seems a bit flaky on some Evos. My own experience with it is that GPS works perfect though. Wireles Tether works fine on this ROM. I haven't been using the Wireless Tether app lately though, as the built in tethering feature works perfectly on 3g and 4g. find the native tethering under menu>settings>wireless & networks>tethering and portable hotspot. From there you can use wifi tether or USB tether, both work.
As far as known issues, I have 0 (so far, it's only been a few hours). The only bug that had been annoying was the phone going to the lock screen after hanging up a call, but that issue has been fixed in Y. Flash it and give it a shot.
Which would be the better deck rom to use? And what kernal? Im not sure how to do any of the gps fixes ive been hearing either, lol

I would use the latest build, which is 1.2y. Keep in mind that these are betas (although 99.9% stable and could be called stable, IMO) 1.2x and 1.2y both have the GPS fix incorporated into the build, so in theory GPS should work out of the box (it does for me). You *should'nt* need to do anything special to get GPS to work. As far as the kernel goes, every phone reacts a bit different with kernels, so it's kind of trial and error. I would suggest giving the CM kernel that comes with the ROM a try for a few days. It works extremely well on my phone. I also run Savaged Zen 2.2.1 CFS, and that performs well too. GodmodeV9 is a great 'no frills' kernel. It doesn't have sbc or havs, and is meant to be stable and have good performance, which it is and it does. Just give each kernel you try a few days to settle in before passing judgement on it. It takes a little bit of time to be able to tell how it's ultimately going to perform. Sometimes it makes a big difference by adjusting the governor settings too. Good luck
Hey keep this post in mind because ill come back here and post more questions... Thanks... Ive been flashing so many and im just tired. I know its basically a trial and error but that gets tiring. Thanks man...

Is salvage mod cm based?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I like kings rom. It is fast and the battery life is great.
i would honestly say the best Gb rom is Savagemod1.1
I used savagemod 1.0 for the longest because, it was the most stable rom.
It has working: 4G and GPS, it's quick and snappy.
As a matter of fact I just flashed the 2.6 Savage kernel and I'm having the HARDEST time draining my battery. I've got 4g on, wifi on, blue tooth, wireless tethering, live wall papers, pandora, and the flash light on and it's literally taking forever to die. At the current rate, it's supposed to live for another 4 hours... >.<;; I want to kill it so that it can charge from the beginning, (rambling lol)
Yeah in the end. If you want a quick, reliable, and most of all stable rom. I'd go with SavageMod 1.1
I like to stick with the originators, the real og's in the game and thats cm.

No. Its aosp based.
I'm currently on cm7 nightly 14. I picked it up and felt no reason to flash after that. What I love about it is the battery life, I'm always wondering how people pull off these ridiculous numbers, but I can get 30 hours of light usage with the clocking governor on conservative. It also has a bunch of awesome cyanogenmod settings specifically. These are awesome, I have gestures on my unlock screen to turn on torch and go to spring pad and such. It's fairly fast and smooth. I ran MIUI for months and loved it but it eventually started acting up and slowing down and I missed the android look. The only thing that takes trouble to work every time is gps. Oh btw wimax is blazing on this rom!

stroll over to the the development section and check them all out for yourself and yes you can switch out kernels. Also there is an app called kernel manager to check out kernels. One more thing its obvious you are not a chronic flasher like a lot of us so please remember nandroid and read up- As the saying goes here "Google is your Friend". Especially all the OP's of kernels and roms... hate to see you brick your device... Happy flashing

Good luck with that kind of find...
If you're looking for a sense-like feel, why not just go with a sense ROM? I personally use Synergy ROM and everything works super fast, no issues, and service seems to be better than when I had CM7 on it. That and sense ROMs also make full use of the phone's hardware, such as the camera...
The support and extras are a pretty sweet deal, as well.

Signal strength is not universal. You can have the same signal strength on your phone but it will display as a different number of bars based purely on your ROM. CM seems to be one of those ROMs where I have a really good signal yet I'm only showing about 2 or 3 bars. Its just the way the ROM displays it. Flashing another ROM and getting more bars doesnt mean your signal strength is any stronger or weaker at all.
Also, if you're looking for a sense feel then just get a sense ROM. There are a lot out there to choose from. I'm actually thinking of running Boot Manager on my phone and flashing a sense ROM alongside CM7 so that I can make use of the abilities of the sense ROMs when I need to.
I switch between Fresh 4.22 and CM7 pretty regularly and love battery life/performance of both. I use Tiamats 4.1 SBC on CM7 and the stock kernel on Fresh, although it would be choice if there were a Sense SBC kernel.

I keep coming back to Mik's roms. On MikG now and love it. Battery life is great too but then I use all the app tricks I can find. App2SD / DroidWall / SetCPU / StartUp Auditor. If your signal strength is bad just call Sprint and ask for an Airvanna. Once it's hooked up you should be up to 4/5 bars constantly. That's been my experience.
Have you tried team nocturnals merge Rom its sense based with an soap feel its pretty nice if you are trying to have your cake and eat it too

Fresh Rom 4.22
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046622
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.

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.
