[Q] Looking for a new Rom - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok well I have been using Chingy's Incredibly Re-engineered rom since I rooted my phone. But, seeing as how it's looking dead for the moment and I have not been on here stalking roms in a long time. Anyone got any advice on some roms that are similar that might be worth checking out?

New to roots optomized hybrid 2.1. (Think thats what its called) stlynergy rom nightlies are also stable. Im back and forth between them and OMFGB nightlies
Where's ma rosie at?

newtoroot's Optimized Shift is awesome. Perfect for daily use.

Aaawww ive got to upgrade to the new sense ><

newtoroot just put out hybrid 1.8. My new favorite. Slicker than Optimized Shift (hopefully as stable... time will tell).

Thats actually what I am using right now. It's overwhelming me haha. Any mods for it yet?

JoelZ has an incredibly (get it) stable Sense 3.0 ROM.
I use ADW instead of the stock Sense launcher, and with that and Fancy Widgets running I still have more than enough memory free.

I Agree, newtoroot's Optimized Shift Is amazingly fast and stable, and has just enough of the newer sense features buit in to make it worth it. the only problem ive had is wifi ocasionally drops and the EMMC doesnt mount in the stock music player(but you can easily get around that with mixzing or PowerAMP till thats fixed)

why thank you

The latest kingdom rewind 3d rom is the fastest and cleanest I've used so far

I've used almost all of them out there, including all the new GingerSense ones. Nils seems to do best with that gig (IMHO), but the one I like the most right now is MIUI. Fast, clean, and more customizeable than anything I've seen in awhile.

Speaking of MIUI and Sense discussion.....
The pictures here are not Sense. They're MIUI with HELauncher and the (fully functional) Sense 3.0 custom lockscreen for MIUI.

[Q] Looking for a change...

Ok, I have been on a stock sense type rom since I got my evo and I am wondering if I am missing out.
So, can some of the users please give me some advice on the MIUI roms and maybe viruses roms? Just pros and cons and what particularly you love about those types of roms.
Thanks for any info given...
Have you checked out myns warm twopointtwo? I just flashed it last night along with the gingerbread launcher gingerbread keyboard(which is badass BTW) and the kings #11 kernal plus transparent title bar and its sick. I hate sense but this setup is just amazing. Also if you do this go into titanium backup and delete the HTC lockscreen and you will get this like ultra stealth badass as **** lockscreen that I've never seen before. (No its not the vanilla one)

I like warm twopointtwo but it is still based on 3.30.651.3 and Id rather something more updated. If he updates his rom I will be all about it. I love the sprinkles...lol
Anyone else have any suggestions?

I've been running MIUI since the beginning of November, it's amazing. I tried going back to sense for the 4G a few weeks ago and after trying Fresh and then Myn's, I restored my MIUI nandroid and haven't looked back again. It's leaner, faster, runs a HECK of a lot smoother, and is stable as hell. My battery lasts about a day and a half with average use and at least a full day with moderate to heavy use. It's a great ROM for someone who wants to ditch Sense altogether but doesn't like how bare bones pure AOSP ROMs are.
Did they update the evo miui Rom with the new UI?

Not sure, I don't think that one has been ported yet. But now that you had me check into it, I just found a thread from bcnice20 that says he's jumping ship to the EVO Shift, so we are currently without a dedicated MIUI dev for the EVO
Now that's gay.

Cm is nice but my god the WiFi is horrible. Every 20 seconds it drops....never tried another kernel with it so might be a workaround. I'm still waiting for cm to release the GB stable.

Well you can always flash the latest build and sit on it. I'm still on a month old build and haven't needed to update, though i probably will in the next couple days. MIUI is (was) a weekly updated ROM so we probably won't be getting that kind of treatment anymore, but I'm sure somebody will pick it up soon. There is a lot of love for MIUI out there.

The new version is in beta now. Should be released with all its sprinkles within a week or so, I'd guess. Maybe even within a few days.

[Q] 2.3 Sense ROM with Sense stripped out?

Hey guys, it's been a while since I set foot in here and am behind on all the latest ROMs. I browsed the first few pages of development and perhaps I missed it but I'm looking for a ROM that is based off the official 2.3 build, but has Sense stripped out of it, so it still has working 4G but none of that crappy Sense bloat. I know there was a froyo ROM like that (Vael or Mik perhaps?) but I want to make the upgrade to Gingerbread. Been running MIUI forever and want to try something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Not sure exactly what you asking for. Is it supposed to not be based on sense at all? If so go with OMFGB you can Google it and find it. I'm not trying to look for a link right now. I've run it and its a great 2.3 build based on Vanilla. I don't run it because I like sense 2.1 which is in the Ginger ale rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sense 2.1/3.0 is not the same as Sense 1.0.
You should give it a shot. With the GB added in, it's really pretty nice.
I really am not interested in Sense at all. I am a LauncherPro guy so having Sense on it is pointless. What I am interested in is a ROM based off the official OTA that has all the Sense elements stripped out of it. Still uses a Sense kernel, still has 4G, but has no Sense. I did a little research and the Froyo equivalent was VaelPak, but it doesn't look like he has a GB build yet.

Yea try out OMFGB if you don't want sense. It meets all your requirements in the rom , although Hipkat is right, sense 2.1/3.0 it nothing like sense 1.0.

Just looked into it, still isn't quite what I am looking for. It doesn't look like what I want is currently available. Might go with SalvageMod, I've heard good things about it.
I don't think there are any 'senseless' roms of the OTA out yet. Also just for tossing ideas, if you want to try CM7, its on android 2.3.4 now, and with the Tiamat kernel, epic win. Also good seeing ya. And you, leave MIUI??? The Rapture is upon us.

Hey bud! Long time! No rapture yet, Mr. Camping postponed that till October now Haha yeah, I think I'm done with MIUI finally. I really want to take advantage of 4G to tether my iPad 2, and for some reason MIUI has been giving me nothing but problems lately. I really only want to do this once, so I was hoping for a senseless ROM because I'm sure they will be more stable than other GB/AOSP ROMs. Just don't want any more issues. How stable is CM7 now?
Hey do you know if the sense removal scripts work with the latest OTA? I might just do that and call it a day.

Well there's much more to sense than just the launcher and widgets. It is very deeply ingrained in the ROM. Deleting all that crap is the next best thing, but not ideal for what I want.
Teh_Roxxors is gonna laugh here, but I just made a last minute executive decision to update to the latest MIUI instead. I was just on stock GB Sense for a few minutes, and besides it being completely unbearable, I STILL have no 4G by my house. So, screw it. MIUI GB it is.

Just because I don't want to deal with stability issues. Every time I flashed CM, I always had reboots regardless of the kernel, same thing with Ultimate Droid. The only AOSP ROM that was ever good to me was MIUI, but even that started to crap out towards the end. I am not as flash happy as I once was, the last ROM I flashed was MIUI 1.1.28 and it was beautiful for a while but lately it had been crapping out ridiculously. I figure if the ROM was Sense based, I wouldn't have those issues. No matter though, I just flashed the latest MIUI GB build and it seems pretty good. It's gorgeous, they have definitely come a long way since 1.1.28, and I think it's going to be pretty stable for me. Though, only time will tell.

Rom suggestions wanted

Ok, so here's the thing. I'm currently running rmk gingersense. It's been pretty good, but i'm fairly tired of sense, and lately have had lots of little issues with it like bluetooth shutting itself off, updates not downloading, etc. I'm a fan of CM7 but i can't run CM7/MIUI roms because of the volume issues.
Can anyone recommend a good rom where things like volume and other basic functions work well but offer something other than sense?

Dude, I ran MIUI just a few days ago and it was fine. I was using the Tiamat 1.1.3 kernel for sound issues, and that fixed them. And I've heard it works wonders on cm7 as well.
Personally I've been running Newt's DINC2HD for the past few days and I can't get myself to run anything else lol.

MIUI is awesome w/ Tiamat, so is CM7. One of the only other really great popular roms out there is Virtuous and I believe it's an AOSP as well. Personally I enjoy sense to death. The only issue is that it tends to drain more battery, so AOSP is the way to go.
On a side note tyler, have you tried the skyraider rom? It looks promising. Also, the pyramid rom looks pretty nifty too.
Maybe I'll check miui and CM7 out again, then. CM7 was way too quiet when I first tried it, and since I'm on call a lot, good volume is critical.
Is the headset mic bug fixed now?

I've tried both of those, and virtuous (which is rmk's sense 3.0 ROM) and they don't stand up (in my himble opinion) to DINC2HD, which is pretty much a sneak preview (if you will) of what's to come in HTC's lineup. This is not to be confused with Newt's Bliss MySense 3.5; definitely not the same thing. Go check 'em out. Due to the fact that Newt left XDA, you have to go to his site to get the ROMs.

Yeah in the OP, under the download for the ROM itself, there's the patch and under that is the flashover. Install the ROM, set it up, then go to recovery and flash the patch and flashover. you can also flash any mods then as well.

[Q] Synergy ROM RLS1 user, looking for faster and updated ROM

I have been running Synergy RLS1 for a few months now pretty successfully. The only issue I have with this ROM is that it becomes sluggish at times and the battery drains very quickly.
I would like to find a new ROM to flash as Synergy has reached the end of its development AFAIK, but I have so far found it difficult to locate one in which everything works, like it has in Synergy. There are so many ROMs out there, it's tough to research them all. I would like some suggestions.
My requirements:
Android 2.3.5 or higher
Sense 3.5 (Sense 3.0 is fine if it is highly stable and fast)
wifi, 3g, usb & camera working (4g not necessary)
Imo the best rom ive been on has been miui is fast and smooth ,however,i had loads of iisues with gps so i switched to cm7 and fell inlove this rom is super fast stable and everything works besides 4g i think .now i am on eternity efected rom and i dont think ill go back to another rom lol .no 4g but in my area i barely have any so its all good .i did not like syenery with god mode but again thats my opinion .try cm7 or eternity by virus .good luck
A couple suggestions.....if u want stability speed and a frequently updated Rom try mikg 3.0. Very much like synergy in that it is sense 2.1 + 3. Way better than synergy however.....aamikam is a really top notch dev.
If u must have sense 3.5 go for vin's r3mix. He's also a very active dev as far as sense 3.5 goes, its extremely quick. Still though, any 3.5 Rom is gonna have issues.

Mikg has been way furthur developed. Synergy stopped over the summer and since then there have been some cool new features like the insanse amount of stuff in miktweaks. It is actively developed and the forum at themikmik.com is awesome. Super friendly peeps, lots of themes, mods, etc. Mik is also the master at optimizing everything for a super snappy rom that doesn't seem to get "bogged down" over time.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have narrowed it down to 2 ROMS. MikG Sense 2.1 + 3 v3.0 and Team-Nocturnal Shooter Port for HTC EVO 4G. Of the two, the MikG ROM seems to be the more stable, full featured & most supported. The Shooter ROM however has Android version 2.3.5, for which I like a few of the changes since 2.3.3

Fast, Stable, Bare ROM?

There are a ton of EVO roms now, and without reading every single one, I wanted to just ask all of you:
What are a couple good, very stable, and fast ROMS for the EVO with everything working (especially hotspot and 4G)? I'd prefer it to be as bare as possible, I already have all the apps I want backed up. A lot of ROMs (like the one I'm running) claim to be super fast and stable, and not all of them live up to their word. Don't need sense, I'll be using a launcher anyway.
I think you're looking for Digital Karma v7.77; this is pretty much the rom that's leading the pack so you may discontinue your search now...
Reloaded. Fast, lightweight, everything works.

Funny enough that was the ROM I was running when I posted this. I didn't like all the bloat that came with it...some of the programs were nice, but most just took up space. And I wasn't terrible impressed with the phone, it wasn't very snappy and responsive at all. Maybe my phone's just a dud ;p
My favorite ROM by far thus far has been Calkulin's EviO 3, but for some reason as of late, even with a fresh install, the market always force closes, especially when using titanium backup. But only on this ROM...anyway, so I've begun looking for a new best friend lol
classic v0.1.0 supermagic or digitalkarma v7.77
digital karma...every other rom ive used had something broken, because i dont like Sense UI as much... ive been using ICS roms :good:

Hey Wiz just a little curiosity question... Do you have your sd card partitioned? Because that space problem you mentioned is virtually solved with having your sd card properly partitioned. You sound like you have a lot of apps saved to TB and you're restoring to your internal memory, that of course will cause a lot of problems along with unsufficient space.
I hadn't at that time, but since then have. The problem wasn't low space, I just didn't like all the apps that were pre loaded into karma, I didn't use or need most of them. But for some reason, with a fresh install, it just didn't seem too snappy to me. Idk, I could have a messed up phone
The best rom ever for stability and simplicity was SalvageMod. Never had a more stable and lightning quick phone. It isn't supported anymore, but then again, the Evo in general is barely supported now.

Try it, you'll like it With Tiamat 3.3.7 as your kernel, you'll have like two days of battery life.

I'm learning a lot lately here thanx to everyone. My question is... I know there is sense and non sense roms. How do u take a sense roms and make it senseless? I know that senseless is still a sense rom.

Remove the sense launcher and replace it with a different launcher such as Go or ADW and Removing all the sense apps except the ones necessary to keep the phone running.

Wow so that's all it is to turn sense to senseless

Twinturbo is very satisfactory and reliable, imo. Very fast. Not quite naked, but easy vanilla. Best rom for evo4g I've found thus far.

DK v7.77 is great. Overall very speedy on my evo. Only issue is that it tends to be a little unresponsive when swiping to unlock or swiping to pull down notifications and I often have to swipe several times.
My favorite right now is SS_Ultra. AFAIK, it's only one of two roms based on the latest evo ota. It's a bit of a wip, but the v3.0 that was released last night is really great - very snappy and responsive and almost 400mb free after flashing and moving dalvik to sd-ext.

The Evo has basically no more major updates, and most users and developers already had their upgrade available (mines in october), and got a dual core phone, and stopped supporting the original Evo.
