Best Evo rom? and Why? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just got my evo today, came from a samsung vibrant. My vibrant was rooted and flashed, i just rooted my evo and wanted to get insight and opinions of what Evo roms were fast and snappy but great on battery too. Thanks

MikG 2.1 update. i LOVE this rom due to the Lockscreen and the high stabability of it. plus netflix works great on it now. gingerbread is self ROCKS. the battery life on this rom is amazing compared to most ive used. i use the phone frequently. its been the fastest gingerbread rom today as far as i've tested.
another great rom to look at is MIUI official. very customizable to get it to look the way like it. edit boot video right from the phone and so much more. somewhat stable lately. few issues i had. With MIUI if you have the settings right. and good kernal. ive had this phone last 2 days with out charging on high usage.

Dude MIUI is the best ROM period.. over 100 different themes, and you can even build your own theme taking parts from each and every theme
You can have Theme A's lockscreen
Theme B's fonts
Theme C's wallpaper
Theme D's Phone Dialing theme
Theme E's notification bar and setup
Therefor MIUI is like 1000 roms in one, and you can literally build every single aspect of the ROM completely customized to your liking, and with built in "Theme Manager" it's EXTREMELY simple to do, can completely change your entire phone's appearance 10x in 5 minutes... MIUI is by far the best "professionally done and clean looking" and complete ROM out there

I personally love the kingdom b1.3 rom. Comes with sense 3.0. Best way to figure out what one is the best, is to try a few of them out. Everyone likes different roms for different reasons, its all about what you like..

What is hands down the BEST sense ROM

So here's my question- I love Cyanogen but haven't really given sense a shot. I went from Eris to D1 to Fascinate to Droid X to Inc. I really like the Inc so much more than all the others but wanted to try and do it right the first time. What Sense ROM are you all using that yields the most stability/battery life/features? Kernel advice? Thanks in advance.
I like stock sense so I use virtuous but as far as kernels right now Chad has the best kernels and there easy to find in the development section.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
I use the stock 2.2 leaked ROM from August (rooted).
All it's missing is full bluetooth features for BT mouse and keyboards.
I have tried many.
Myn's Warm Two Point Two rls4 is currently on my phone.
This is the best ROM out now in my eyes. I like sense, but I am not to big a fan of plain vanilla android, so I don't really use anything like Cyanogen. Maybe if Koush makes a vanilla gingerbread ROM I would use that, but for now I like sense 2.2
Warm Two Point Two has been on my phone the longest compared to any other ROM.
*Have had barely any FC's at all. I can't even think of the last time it happened.
*Fast
*Looks sweet as default without theme.
Using Kernel included with ROM and 2.15.00.11.19 radio
1348 score in Quadrant
38MFLOPS in Linpack
Stability - Virtuous, Uncommon Sense and Redemption. They have all been around and are tried and true. If I am not mistaken, Myn's Warm 2.2 is an Evo based rom and oyu can customize it (I have not flashed it). I am running Redemptive, it is an Evo/Inc hybrid, there are a number of good themes out there and Lou has also released a "senseless" version. Lots of great options.
As far as kernals go, they interact differently with each Rom. Chad is doing some great work as well as Lou. On Battery life... it is so subjective, I don't know why anyone talks about it. I have a stock battery and get 6-8 hours out of it regardless of the Rom or Kernal. I am just glad that it charges fast again (about 1% every minute and a half).
Warm TwoPointTwo with the kernel included with it. Stable, fast, and passable battery life (still gonna buy a 1750mAh battery though)
I use Desire Z. Epic speed and epic benchmarks. Some bugs.
+1 for Myn's Warm Two Point Two rls4
Smooth, clean, and stable. Best Incredible ROM I've tried hands down.
If you're looking for more enhancements/features to a sense rom, I highly recommend Skyraider Sense. In addition to having the up-to-date sense framework, extra goodies are included such as the power control toggles in the drop-down notification bar. Other nice additions like the gingerbread keyboard baked into the rom is convienient as well. I've been running the latest Skyraider Sense for a while now and it has been rock steady achieving uptimes up to 166 hours before having to reboot to flash something.
Skyraider is basically Stock Sense +, with the + indicating some additional goodies without veering too far away from the stock experience.
As for a kernel, I have one that's been my tried-and-true for months now. That is adrynalyne's undervolted. Fantastic battery life when paired with setcpu (as it was designed to play nice with it) and great stability. The only problem with it is that it only uses the conservative governer well, so if you really like ondemand or interactive you may want to look elsewhere. Despite this, it runs perfectly fine for me. The only percieved difference is in the quadrant score, which ultimately means not so much.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
I absolutely Loved loved loved Lou's Redemptive Revolution with the stock .17 kernel. That ROM is lightning fast and I could easily score 30+ hours of battery life with a 1750 mAH battery from Seido and Juice Defender/Set CPU Profiles.
Right now I'm just screwing with CM6.1 because I basically have Android ADD. I flash a new ROM nearly every week it seems.
EDIT: making this post kind of gave me the urge to flash a new ROM. I'm thinking about using his Senseless Redemptive Revolution, because I really dig Launcher Pro, plus I paid for it so I might as well use it.
SkyRaider is almost 100% stock sense and I have 0 problems with it. Smooth, fast, and the Dev is very responsive to everyone's questions.
Myn's Warm 2.2 easily.

I put my vote in for Virtuous. I am currently running v3.2 rom with the virtuous custom kernel v3. It runs smooth and I have never had a single problem or issue. As far as i've seen everything works and it is a huge improovement in battery life compared to stock when combined with setcpu and advanced task killer froyo.

I agree that Virtuous 3.2 (and 3.1 before it) are closest to the pure Sense experience, at least on the Incredible. It's also easy to install (no wipe required) and easy to mod. I've switched a few notification bar icons and the lock screen without a problem. The custom kernel #3 that comes with 3.2 handles battery life nicely, too.
A few comments:
1. There is a reason there are 5 desire Z based inc roms out there - 4 in the last 2 weeks or so. New sense beats the pants out of old sense roms both in terms of speed and functionality. There might be some bugs but the overall experience is radically superior. Try one out for a few days. You will like them.
2. MIUI is probably the most beautiful of the AOSP Roms - you must have that in your roms to try list. Its AOSP but really pretty
I have tried all the regular older sense roms too but these are what I have gravitated to.
I appreciate everyones feedback. I've just decided to keep it aosp. I like the lightness and quickness of it all. As far as miui goes- seems kinda like running an iPhone theme. I don't want an iPhone. Also- app management seems retarded. No drawer?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Its personal preferences I guess. Coming from am iphone, I found the concept of just one app drawer wherein all apps are arranged only alphabetically very odd and confusing. Miui attracted me because I finally saw some easy way to organize them by type. Plus I always hated having only 7 home screens to work with. I ended up with 9 in miui because I love widgets for news, email, messages, facebook, twitter etc. and with the folders and so many widgets, I needed more screens... For me, widgets is one of android's big advantages over the iphone. and I need more screens for more widgets!

Top ROMS!

I recently ROOT my EVO, so I want to know for those who has gone to varios ROMS what are the top 5 ROMS.
Me personally has ben looking for some Desire Z or Desire HD port, only for the Themes but don't know the names of the ROMS here, or or some Gingerbread ROMS but they are a lot of ROMS here, I;m comming from the HeroC...
Calkulin EVi0 2 best room (I just hate that animation color screen at boot) give me up to 12 hours of battery time.
im new too i just rooted my phone sunday i heard from some people that some roms and kernals are made for certain hardware. mines hardware 0004 is it true
thanks.
If you want to fall in love with your EVO all over again, I HIGHLY recommend MIUI. It is hands down the best looking and best performing ROM out there.

The best rom for the evo right now is the mikfroyo 4.4 hands down. In terms of speed and customized features it is my favorite of all and mik is already working on
V 4.5 so for u its time to start flashing and enjoying your powerhouse that is the evo the way u suppose to. Happy flashing and have fun!

Sorry, I meant Konikub's themes.
NEED TO TRY ROMS: DONT GO WITHOUT AT LEAST 3 HOURS ON THESE.
myn's warm twopointtwo: insane themeing. blows your mind and other parts (hehe). fast, stable, just very themed and very feature inclusive.
caulkin's evio 2: incredibly fast. this dude is amazing. you will find his 'usb/wifi tether hack, reboot mod, mms limit/compression mod's in almost every rom out there. slightly themed to not look as fugly as the htc version, very good battery, extreme speed, etc etc etc.
ava-froyo z3: this man is quite a coder. he goes deep inside the rom to alter things never touched by other devs, including radio, 4g, memory management, etc. its a hit and miss for some phones, but gets amazing results on others.
cyanogenmod: vanilla aosp, the biggest project on the xda. built on many different phones, huge team, incredible changes, its like a whole new phone. you wont get the same results or features from any other phone on the market. no hdmi (claims its almost done) and FINALLY 4G (in alpha 2 testing, the code for 4g had to be totally rewritten by two guys. thats probably the biggest feat in this phone's history)
miui: a crossover aosp rom that looks almost like the iphone but with the functionality and customizability of android +100. infinite amount of features. this isnt really built on anything... everything is different. a brand new operating system pretty much. worth a flash. some love it, some (like me) dont.
I am currently using this ROM [ROM(S)]CM7-EX.v9, its pretty neat, still has a few minor issues but it's usable and yeah its Gingerbread. No 4G or HDMI.

Well put. I will +1 you on the CyanogenMod. Great stable ROM with tons of customizability and features out of wazoo.
I would also put in a recomendation foe Fresh Evo ROM by Flipz. Maintains a familiar Sense UI but has some nice performance tweaks and removes all of the bloatware. Also has full HDMI and 4G support. Just another simple and user friendly option for custom ROM that does not get too radical.

I like all the responses here and how members try to help, especially the 8th grade kid, lol.
I for one won't flash a rom where any of the features of the phone won't work, despite the fact of the great work all of those guys are doing to bring gingerbread to us, I applaud all their hard work. Whatever rom u flash, make sure u do a full wipe so u can get a clean install, do a back up or nandroid before u start flashing and read, read, read and keep on reading, that's the most important thing, get acquainted with any issues or problems that may arise with the roms u gonna flash so u don't panick and go all monkey if the phone freezes or whatever the situation may be. Finally be ready for the storm, flashing is an addiction hard to control.

I know this has already been said but I just have to agree with Cyanogen. The stable build (6.1.2?) is incredibly nice with plenty to do. On the other hand, Cyanogen7 (i.e. nightlies) are a bit more finnicky (still a superb work in progress). I used the stable build until I had enough courage (newbie myself to android) to start trying the night builds. I really dont want to go back to anything else now, not even the stable. Getting excellent battery life (intermittent tho), great look, very customizable. Def worth a try, if anything
Depends on what you want our of your rom. I tried many, but heres my personal experience.
I went with miui for awhile. Loved the speed and uniqueness. In the end missed everything working perfect.
Went to azrael for awhile. Fastest sense rom in my opinion. Highly recommend if you like sense.
Since I don't like sense, but want stuff to be fully functional, I'm currently on vaelpak. Very fast, great on battery, and the vaelpak settings app makes it very easy to tune to your liking.

How to choose Evo rom?

I was looking at the Evo rom subforum and there are so many options. I have no idea what to choose. When I had the Hero, I used cyanogenmod. I liked it, but I'm definitely open to any suggestions
The most important features to me are long battery life and speed.
I like MIUI so far. But really depends if you like sense or not.
Sent from my Evo powered by MIUI
I have no problem with sense. I'll definitely consider MIUI when choosing a rom.
Based on the number of replies and page views, it looks like Warm TwoPointTwo is the most popular rom. I read the first page and the screenshots look nice, but there's not much information about its features. Does anyone know why it's so popular?

I'm all about MIUI. Been running it since the beginning of november. There really is no comparison. All the sense ROMs are pretty much identical to me, except for the different themes, and CM is nice but it's pretty plain appearance wise. MIUI has the performance of CM but is gorgeous to look at, plus it has a TON of features that aren't available in any other ROM, and more features get added with every release.

Like the above user said, depends if you like sense or not. I personally loved sense before flashing to an aosp rom [such as cyanogen].

No 4g is the dealbreaker for me on that ROM. Anxiously waiting though.
I'm currently running the Cyanogen 7 Gingerbread Rom. It's decent, but a little buggy.
I am currently running Myns Warm 2.2 and love it due to the battery life, i've gotten 23 hrs out of it so far without a charge with moderate use, texts, facebook and a few calls.
been using it for about a week.
MikFroyo is the fastest sense based rom that I have found. Plus the people in the thread are very helpfull, and slow to flame.

ok, here is a better question, good rom with 4G/WiMAX, working GPS, and 3g/4g hotspot. I have Cyanogen 7 RC1, but it is buggy. Don't like it too much.
Warm twopointtwo by myn all the way. very fast, looks great, and battery life like you wouldnt believe
everything works, download the wireless hotspot for root on market. some say the browser is slow, but myn uploaded a fix for that in his thread
Best way to choose is to try them all out. I would at least try mikfroyo, myn, miui, and evio. Before yo do though, might want to just try flashing one of the most recent cm7 nightlies over rc1. I think there are some changes that might make it a bit more stable.
I'm running the latest cm7 with wimax and have very few issues.

Yeah, Miui doesn't have 4g (yet). Still worth a try though. I think you'll like Mik. That and EViO are my fav sense ROMs. Kings is also really nice. Mik base and tons of themes.

Running Laucher Pro, should I ditch HTC Sense?

Ever since I found Launcher Pro I've never used anything else.
I'm running SkyRaider 3.5 (which is HTC Sense) and I'm wondering if I should go to an AOSP ROM like CM7.
I'm wondering:
> Will it be faster than current setup?
> Will it be better on battery than current setup?
Let me know, thanks.
Battery and speed will improve depending on which kernal you use. The main advantage to using a AOSP ROM for me was better bluetooth support. I can't use wii controlers with my emulators using Sense but I can if I use a non-Sense ROM like CM6 or CM7. Shows you what I look for in a ROM doesn't it.
Doesn't Skyraider offer a senseless version of the Skyraider ROM?

Speed will depend, more likely than not it will be a bit speedier and better on battery IMO. I have been running CM7 with the Savaged-Zen kernel and i got over a day and a half out of it, that with setcpu at 128/1113 with smartass governor.
I used to stick with Sense based ROMS because they where just so smooth and stable, but now im with AOSP ROMS like CM7 and a few others. I use launcher pro and its awesome. The customization of AOSP ROMS are pretty much endless, and they give you a cleaned up Android. Id give it a try, just make a back up of SkyRaider then download the latest CM7 RC.
@OP
I was in your shoes about a week after using the phone after I bought it.
Went AOSP and haven't gone back except for the occasional, lets see if somehow the grass somehow decided to paint itself greener and became super plants.
I recommend AOSP completely. It's alot more of a streamlined android experience, and IMO lets you really customize the OS to work for you, rather than having to work with sense.
Not saying sense is bad or anything, it's my favorite non stock rom, but AOSP is just above and beyond for me.
Although incredibly re-engineered had me off AOSP for about 3 days before switching back

Senseless is still Sense framework, which lacks the advantages of a true AOSP ROM. The advantage to Senseless is a vanilla interface, but the stability of the Sense framework.
Thanks for the input!
Will be switching to an ASOP ROM sometime tonight.
For me unfortunately, the lack of decent widgets keeps forcing me back to the new desire z based sense roms. Too many additional features in sense. Wish there were good equivalent aosp widgets for what you can get from htc in the hd/z/mt4g/inc s roms...

I don't know if you wanna jump in head first or not but, I'm really enjoying the new Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 right now. Another great is MIUI. They're both great on battery life and they're both highly customizable. But they are a big change from sense- especially MIUI. And, obviously, CM7 is a release candidate so it isn't perfect (although damn close.) Whether you jump on them now or later, once you've gotten your feet wet, you should check em both out some time.

That's false. I have never gotten the battery life from an AOSP rom that I have from an optimized Sense rom. I've used almost every kernel for both types of roms. There are quite a few people that actually complain about CM battery life. As far as speed its like the butt dyno, just saying your phone feels faster is all perception. There are people that say the optimized Sense roms are the fastest and some say the AOSP are the fastest. Try what you like and use it. The real differences is in the interface. Bluetooth is definitely better supported on CM.
I found my best battery life AND speed were with Ruby ROM 2.0.2 with Launcherpro. Cyanogenmod 6 is good too but had tons of features I didn't use. Invisiblek kernels are a great addition to AOSP ROMs.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've been running MIUI 1.1.26 with invisablek #28 for a while now, w/o setcpu and while I wouldn't say it's the fastest combo (not that it's slow) its is the most stable my phone has been since I switched from Virtuos using stock kernel.
After setting up invisablek #28 and wiping battery stats it did take a few days of crappy battery life until it started to kick butt. I can get thru a 10 hour work day of moderate web surfing and constant music playing and still have at least 20% battery left. And if I run with the 2150mah extended battery forget about it.
I would definately recommend giving MIUI and invisablek #28 kernel a try. It has the faster charging the stock kernel has and runs smooth and stable. The launched takes a bit to get used to but you can always run launcher pro over it. Tried that but I love the MIUI launched too much.
Thats my issue with the CM line, it has tons of features I dont use (which could be flashable) and includes way too many localizations. I must admit I forgot about Ruby, it was the best in terms of speed. No lag, no hesitation, smooth as butter.
Launcher Pro doesn't extend any battery life on any ROM I have used it just a different launcher but one of the best ones I have used so far.
If you aren't attached to the Sense experience, the don't even hesitate to try out different ROMs. I gave up on Sense after a month of purchasing the Dinc, tried out CM6, tried out MIUI, and now I've been "crackflashing" CM7 since January. A lot of people are experiencing really good battery life. Can't say so for myself since the Dinc is my main computer, but I would certainly say that it is the fastest ROM I've tried.
Do a nandroid backup. Try out a bunch of new setups. Restore the nandroid if you aren't happy. Simple as that--when you're rooted you can do a lot with these devices.

I will say that CM's GPU performance is better than that of the Incredible's on 2.2. My guess is that this is due to CM's release using more recent drivers for the Adreno 200. I've tested this with both benchmarks and games.
On Sims 3, owning the largest house makes panning/zooming is a virtual crawl on stock Sense, even with a good custom kernel. On CM7, it's playable, a huge difference. Quadrant advances/profession GPU score (not the worthless combined score) is nearly 150 points different. To give a perspective, it's 280 to 410 on average, which is a huge jump.

Best AOSP Rom

I've been looking at new roms recently. Currently I'm on redemptive rEVOlution, the senseless version with launcher pro. Any recommendations on what the best roms out there are right now? It doesn't have to be aosp likle CM7 or whatever, I'm just looking for one of the speediest and most stable roms out there.
Gonna have to go with CM.
CM yeah, but which one? Is there a specific nightly build, a final version, release candidate that I should be looking for?
CM 7.0 is stable, but 7.1 is in RC right now so it's pretty good. CyanogenMod has a lot of nice little addons that become hard to live without, like quiet hours or the pull down toggles. Other roms have incorporated some of these things, but not necessarily all of them.
I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1 nightly 129 right now and it is running great. I haven't found another ROM that works 100% like Cyanogen, although I haven't tried anything Froyo on the Incredible.
Back on the Eris we had a few guys that would take the latest CM nightly and apply all sorts of little fixes and kernels and tweaks. Even though the Incredible is an official CM release, it would be nice if we had something like this here too.
definitely check out miui... It is really stable, smooth, has great battery life and lots of good features..
I am a big fan of OMFGB. The nightlies out now for 1.3 are very stable. It's 2.3.4 and the devs threw in a small twist for customization options but its very close to stock. It was good enough to switch me off of my sense based rom just because I am a big time optimization junkie. CM7 just did not appease me.
MIUI is, in my opinion, the best of all i've tried so far. i flashed every nightly from cyanogen up to around 100, then tried MIUI. and haven't even thought of going back. it's that good! my battery life went up, way up. you can customize it to your wit's end, and there's still room for more. so CM, or MIUI, you cannot go wrong. use the dual boot app that's floating around here, and you can have them both, basically..
Definitely quite happy with MIUI.

+ another 1 for MIUI. Customization City!
I have found the CM7.1, RC1 and MIUI are the most stable and have very good battery life with juice defender and Chad's incredikernel. I also like OMFGB and Evervolv roms, but the battery life was not as good. I use them all with DualRom X2. I think in the end, it is a matter of personal preference.
OMFGB hands down. no senseless menu digging for clock speeds, no unstability (for me) nand amazing battery life undervolted on chads betas
The MIUI Pure English ROM is hands down the best one, I have tried many Roms from froyo and sense but none hold a candle to the MIUI. There are so many things to customize, battery life is excellent and so far no force close, lags or shutdowns. Provided is a link to the thread, check it out.

So far I have had the best luck with CM7, have yet to find anything else with as much customizability, speed, and battery life build into one package.

I loved the rEVo roms, but alas I have settled on CM7 as well. Can't speak for the MIUI roms haven't tried them. CM roms are usually up to date, and problems are addressed very quickly. I'm a big fan of Sense, but unfortunatley I have yet to find one that works well with the new versions.
Miui all the way
MIUI is the best thing that ever happend to my incredible
MIUI is nice, it really is but its interface is soo different. its as if an iphone and an incredible had an illegitamate child and it was raised by htc sense. its really a stock vs features argument there.
I would say ultimate droid, but development has stopped because the dev was affected by storms, so I'll have to say omfgb.

looks as though, according to THIS thread, MIUI is the most popular. and yeah, i may be a little biased...
