[Q] Evo Simple User

I just rooted my phone, but I lack the knowledge of what type of ROM should I install on my EVO.
I'm a simple user, use some games, not complicated ones, use Facebook, like to use as a router, use PDA net, started to use open home, just for the look of it.
msn also used, a lot of text messaging, some you tube videos.
But I personally DISLIKE unwanted stuff like the sprint add ons, and would really want to eliminate those things.
I like to custom my phone with nice skins and usable tweaks.
could anyone give their opinion on which ROM would you recommend?

cyanogen, but first you should have read forum rules, as i think this was an appropriate question that could have been asked in the Q&A section
P.S- prepare for flamers lol

true my bad, its the part where I have this forum page as a fav and I did not change the forum and just posted this here, since I'm working on the phone right now, but a mod member could relocate the post if he wishes, and flamers dont bother me.
thanks for the info.

OMFG! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY POSTING THIS HERE!? FLAME ON! GAWD WHY DON'T PEOPLE READ!?!?!?!!?
But seriously...CM6 is probably correct. No sense, no Sprint Bloat, etc. In the themes/apps section there are quite a few themes out for it. I'd probably start there.

Jajajaja
me jodi yo ahora...
true about the post in the wrong place....
and thanks looking foward to it, but trying to download unrevoked for evo and problem with web page wich sucks...

but doesn't CM6 lack 4G support?

Still not rooted the phone, im in 2.1 update 1
and I need the unrevoked file, could anyone upload it, since the webpage shows some type of error?
Regarding the 4G theres no 4G here in Puerto Rico yet... wich sucks...
I dont use the HDMI and I really dont need the Radio.
so Ill try this rom as soon as I finish rooting.
Thanks for the info provided.

Yep. It does. There are 'non sense' versions of 'sense' based ROMs that DO have 4g, but for most people (I live close to Philly, so I'm one of the lucky ones) 4g doesn't really exist yet.

The winning combo for me is Fresh 3.2.0.0 + KingxKernel bfs6 + manup revolution.
I tried CM6 for a couple days and I loathed it.

Wow you have just confused me more.
I have read something about Fresh, im ok up to there, but the rest I have no Idea,
what u do a mix of 3 roms or I have no Idea on how to even explain...

Fresh is the rom. Kings kernel is exactly that a kernel. And man up is a theme. Stick with fresh, ava, or ojm until you learn a little more. They are solid roms that stick close to stock.

I really like Fresh. I have tried quite a few ROMs and Fresh is my favorite. Evio and BakedSnack are also good ones.

[Q] What is the best custom ROM for Epic 4G Touch?

I am very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMS. Haven't flashed any kernels yet (confused about that). I flashed a couple of Calkulin's ROMs on my Epic 4G Touch and the notifications are being troublesome. I know that E4GT v1.0 is not stable. Is there ANY other ROM that is perfectly stable and offers wifi tethering (ICS ROM preferred).
Thanks a bunch!

This question was so important you had to ask it twice? Anyway, there is a thread like this everyday. Same answer for all.... It's user preference. Just because I like something doesn't mean you will

It'd get deleted from General section (sorry I am new), which is why I reposted it here.
I really don't care about the cosmetics. The only thing I want is all the features working properly, and have wifi tethering and good battery life. Any ROMs that do these?
Thanks!

Well most likely your gonna wanna stay away from ICS builds as it's not official and other experience different battery life, but if you want it I suggest mijjz ICS Blend, he keeps it supported greatly. As for a GB rom I suggest either calkulins e4gt rom or blazer rom 4.0 (themed like ics). Both are extremely stable, and calkulins rom includes a battery saver script for great batter life.

If you want ALL features working, you will need to go with a stock rom, and it wont be ICS cause there isnt an official release (notifications issue is an ICS issue, not the custom rom's).
If you want wifi tethering, stock wont work for you. So I would recommend you look at the gingerbread roms. Caulkin's el29 is a good one. Not sure it has tethering though.
There are apps you can buy that will get you tethering, so maybe stock gingerbread + a paid app will meet your needs.
Hope that helps.

I read:

and
"Haven't flashed any kernels yet (confused about that)"
And think "You should Not Be Flashing ANYthing ICS based, at All!"
You could be headed straight to hardbrickland, one way ticket.
Like mentioned in the two previous posts, I would stay away from anything ICS based right now, not only because they have a few issues, at best, but mostly because of the bricks people are getting when playing around with them while not readoing direction Very Carefully and not being familiar with flashing techniques on this phone. If you are going to play with them, be Very Familiar with ODIN and sfhubs OCs, Know Your Kernals, Read Every Damn Thing about the restore process, watch all of QBKing's videos on flashing/restoring re: the ICS stuff, read the sticky thread in general "How To Not Brick our E4GT"...
Like many people have mentioned throughout the threads recent, ICS is nice, but it being unstable many people, even experienced flashoholics, are returning to GB (read as: EL29 stock restore by sfhub) for stability until an official release.

Hey thanks for trying out my rom. Did you do a full wipe before flashing? I just exported my contacts to SD card and imported and its working just fine. If you got any more questions post on my thread or if you are unable to then shoot me a PM message, ill try to help

Awesome work
First of all nice work on DK5. Have no issues at all.
Second is a question...what kernel would you recommend for your ROM(s)?
---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------
I am posting this in the Q&A section because of my noob status and I registered solely to post this.
First a disclaimer: I have been a long time visitor/reader of XDA but never registered. I registered this morning for the sole reason of applauding DigitalKarma on such a fantastic ROM for the EVO 4G, DK5.
I’m not a developer. I’m an end user. More accurately though, I am a “flashaholic”. Not a day goes by that I am not searching for the next best thing in ROMs for my EVO.
I have run the full gamit of ROMs.
CM6, CM7, MIUI, MikRoms, Evervolv, MazWoz, Alter, Elite, Derp, Express, Nitrous, SOS, ODJDub. And that is just a start of all I have tried. AOSP, Sense 1, 2, an 3, ICS, you name it, I flashed it.
I look for aesthetics, speed, battery life, functionality and size in that order.
Those that look great and were fast, lacked in functionality with FC’s. Those that were functional and speedy, were usually so large that right after installation, I could not update apps do to the disk space taken up by the ROM, or, the battery meter moved faster than my gas gauge.
DK5 is hands down the best ROM I have tried in the past year. It meets and exceeds all expectations. Everything works. Everything is FAST and responsive, it is very pleasing to the eye (The Gomorrah clock is a brilliant touch btw). I have a new phone, and could not be happier with the results.
Stable, functional, fast, wonderful aesthetics and very good battery life.
Just wanted to commend you on your work and efforts and just say THANKS.
And I am all a flutter waiting for DK6. Keep up the great work!

hey sandtrapjack! thank you for taking the time to post thoughtful commentary on my rom and giving it a chance. the things you described are exactly what i had in mind while making this rom. i would love to hear more from you here on these forums.
as far as kernels goes, i still prefer the original Stock kernel that comes with the rom for the best stability. but if you're looking for an alternative i suggest you check out the kernels from ca1ne. he does great kernel work. links below for more information
Classic Sense Kernel: Stock kernel that behaves like a Stock kernel but with added performance tweaks. check this out if you want "closer to the stock experience"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557248
Underworld Sense Kernel: Stock kernel that behaves more like a custom kernel with over and underclocking capabilities, if you need to do that kind of stuff in your rom check this one out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570308
can't go wrong with either one. let me know how the kernels are working for you with this rom.

sorry if this is a stupid question,
are there any themes i can apply to this rom?
im looking for something pink or purple, for the wife of course.

nope not a stupid question at all, lol
currently there are no flashable themes for the rom. the closest thing to making the rom look appealing to the wife would be to go into htc wallpapers and use the pink flowery wallpaper thanks for trying out my rom!

Ok DK, saw a "teaser" for your v6 ROM and went right to the OP to download, but v5 was still the latest and greatest. Just said "coming soon". Got excited is all.
Just keeping an eye out. you can bet as soon as v6 hits the downloads, I'll be on it like white on rice.

Cleanest ROM I've found for OG..... By Far!!!
I also registered just to let you know how pleased I am with Digital Karma. I've flashed more ROMs than I can count and have found a few that made the cut, but this one has 2 weeks running strong with no issues. NONE!!! Excellent work sir. I just want to say thank you........

[Q] New To HTC EVO 4G HELP?

Hello, my name is Zach I just joined his site in behalf of my HTC EVO 4G that I've just ordered. I should be getting it tomorrow or Monday I'm not quite sure. I hope you android savvy people could help me out with rootin my EVO or of I should wait?
I want to get to Linux and coding and ROMs I currently own a IPod touch 3rd generation. I've used almost every single Jailbreak. But it just seems to simple.
So I ordered a new phone because I wanted to explore the whole android part. I done some very sophisticated things with coding making servers Etc. But this looks pretty difficult on rooting my EVO. I read many posts on here on what Roms are out and stuff.
I read that some increase battery life or even increase camera resolution. So here's where I get to my question. I know you may of heard a nooby question like this a million times but, " What ROM should I get that would improve speed on my evo, improve screen resolution and camera resolution, and could also use wifi tether. And also does t deactivate the cameras?" and I also want to be able to change the theme of the evo if you can do that.
I also have Android version 2.3.3 if that makes any difference..
Thanks!

Nitrous ROM
You have got to try Nitrous ROM by raafaell before you settle on a selection. I was a flash-oholic for a while after I rooted. Until I found Nitrous. I also did not want a bunch of themed stuff, just gets to be too much. 4G does work...where you can get it. Super smooth, darker blue tones throughout, all your standard mods (battery, transitions) too if you want to metamorph that stuff.
It will certainly be worth your time to check it out I have continued to try other ROMs because there are some really talented devs out there making some great work but I always go home to Nitrous.
Go here, give him a thanks too!

Best rom/ kernel setup

Upgrading my girlfriends evo tonight with latest and greatest. She was currently running cm7. I want a latest updated ROM, however the video recorder and MMS need to work. I see the the ffc and 4g is common not working which is OK.
Can someone also please suggest a kernel to match up with this. I prefer aosp but willing to try a modified sense 3.0+ ROM.
Thanks for the help! I have a toro nexus and do not view the evo fourm much!

Hmmm, so instead of using your time to give me a suggestion, u have to troll the thread instead. Thunbs up to u buddy.
Let me clarify. I know where to find the ROMs, kernels, themes etc. I know there are many choices when it comes to roms (aosp, sense, miui etc). I am not looking for some to hold my hand and explain to me the differences, because truth is that I probably have tried many if not all of them on my nexus. However the situation I am in is that my girl friends evos is outdated running a stable version of cm7 and timemat kernel and is starting to act up. I was thinking of just reflashing cm7 with a fresh start, however gingerbread is very outdated.
So because this is not my phone, I do not have the time to test ROM/kernel combos like I do on my nexus. That is why I am simply asking for suggestions from my fellow xda members.
I am looking for a aosp jelly bean ROM (if not ICS). I need this ROM to be stable (FFC and 4g borked not a big deal) but must have MMS and video recording. From what I can tell, these are the most common issues.
So please give me some suggestions of something I can flash on her phone without biting off my head. I would greatly appreciate it.
I was also curious about theatest and greatest kernel since timat is way outdated, however I will save that for a further question because trollers get mad.

Posts like this are against the "rules" because it could cause issues between devs or members trying to say who is better or what not.
Your best bet is to use search or go read op's of the 10 or so ICS roms.
