accidentally posted in general sorry!!
I have recently just started the rooting and flashing of new ROM's to my evo very very recently. "BTW this site is amazing, like you didn't already know." Anyway I was wondering if there were anyway to add on things a ROM didn't have. Like for my example-- i downloaded a King's ROM Ultra Blakk or something, anyway it doesn't have that turn off animation that is like the sense 3.0 animation(i think), from EVOlvedROMSHiFTed v2 has. Is there a way to do that? Sorry for the n00b-ness, i can take the laughter!! anyway you guys are amazing! Bunch of creative amazingness and i'm glad i'm on board!!
the best thing you can do is just read as much as you can about every ROM. For me, when I first started, I looked at the ROMs with the most replies, figuring it made sense, those were the most complete.
Then just playing with them, until I found the setups I liked the most.
Remember too, a lot of ROMS have addons and mods you can flash to give you different features.
Yeah that's pretty much what i do. My main point is/was this, i have the kings rom cause i like it. Just want to add the turn off animation from sense 3.0. I love the Kings ROM amazing....seriously... weiner hard when my phone turns on love it. Just want the animation. No way to do that?
Is it under display settings?
No I thought it might but I think it has to do with what the ROM is based on. Froyo, sense, MIUI. I assume anyway like I said still very new to all this. I checked the display settings. But no option to change animations. Not even sure if i'm asking the question right. Heh. Damn wish I could be as brilliant as some of these other peeps

If I stand corrected, wasn't Ultra Blackk like R3 and that was 2.2 [Froyo]? if so, I don't think the screen on/off animation will work on that rom. [This question has been asked before, and not bashing, just informing] Though sorry.
yeah man i don't know. Like i said still very very very new to this. Just trying to figure the in's and out's to all of this. kinda makes me wish there were a dummies how to book for all of this
You can try an app called "screen off and lock" from the market, but I'm not sure if it will work with standard 2.2 (froyo) roms. I know it works on my 2.2 rom (SkyRaider), but the proper adjustments were baked into the framework for my rom.

hey guys.
i moved on to cm6 final last friday and i'm enjoying the rom.
however, there are a couple of things that are bothering me.
1) the images are way oversaturated. both in the contacts and in the gallery. the color needs to be toned down...is there a way to do that?
2) the thumbnails are HORRIBLE. i like my nice screen and when i call people have their picture show up nicely. in sense the picture would be clear and much bigger. here the picture is tiny and looks like the image was scaled down incorrectly - very jagged and ugly........is there a way to fix this?
3) is there a more sense-like dialer? i dont like the look of this one, yet i prefer it over Dialer One...i really liked the htc dialer
4) im not adjusting well to the vanilla lockscreen. is there an alternative lockscreen? i'm specially interested in a froyo-like clear lockscreen if possible.
any CM6 mods, apps or tricks i should know since i'm coming on to the game so late?
thanks!
Have you tried any sense roms with an AOSP look?

Really can't bring "sense" into CM6 ... however you can bring some aosp touches to "sense". There are several roms that might be what you're looking for, or you can add some of the apk's yourself for a more custom look.
1) Get the nightly. Has an improved camera.
2) Dunno about this, but opening a ticket in the issue tracker might get some answers.
3) Dialer One is the only thing I've found, which has worked quite well for me.
4) "Froyo-like"? You mean, Sense Froyo? Because this is 100% AOSP right here; it is the Froyo lockscreen... Sooo, dunno what you're looking for here. :/
For tricks, try out the Snap 7.6BFS kernel and play with SetCPU a bit. Might notice your battery life go significantly up.

i wanted to try the full aosp experience. and i like it. i just wish a couple of things could be changed. i dont understand why non-sense apps have to look so non-sense, if you get what i mean.

didnt get to. i have bugless beast on the phone when i bought it (used), then moved on to ava v7 i think, then omj v3.1 for a long time, then quickly ava v9 and that convinced me to take the plunge to cm6...and the way its running and the way i have it looking i think it fits me well.

1) sorry i wasnt clear enough. i dont mean pictures taken with the camera...i mean images in general that i have on my sd from before. they didnt look as saturated before moving on to cm6...
4) yes i mean sense...oops.
and i already have the snap kernel and set cpu and i do agree my battery life is making me happy

I totally understand ... but aosp isn't for everyone. For me, it has a clean, basic, no frills look ... which I like. I actually prefer the aosp dialer, and especially the aosp browser. It's just that there are some non-negotiables, and one of them is the dialer. Sounds like you prefer the "Sense" look, so do a nand backup of CM6 and give a couple of the hybrids a try. TJohnson makes a particularly good one, along with Virus "Airbourne", and VaelPak. Whenever I need a "Sense" based rom, I use MikFroyo, which I have customized with aosp browser, music, launcher pro and a few other apps. Amikam is a very creative guy graphically.
edit: almost forgot, Frost rom by Barnacles ... also, quite good.
Whats up guys? been following this site for a while.. but never joined lol because i didnt have a decent phone.. Well now i have a evo that i just rooted with unrevoked, as well as i have flashed over to Amon_ra. Now my question is (besides i will do a lot more reading but..) What do i do next? i am wanting my phone to run as it did stock (no glitching or crash's) I want to overclock the evo for more speed, I heard of cm6 & turbo ... (not sure of the full name) is pretty insane fps wise and the quickness it allows. If i could have figured this out by searching, i am sorry i am just very persistant lol.
Thanks again,
you guys are AWESOME!

Well you can always just run the Stock rooted ROM and find a good kernel compatible with it.
try myns warm twopointtwo. wait for rls5 to come out or it will be glitchy with your hardware.
welcome to the root crew.
Welcome
If you are looking for something similar to stock I would personally try "Sprint Lovers Rom". You can install any kernel you want and download "Setcpu" to overclock your phone. My favorite rom is Myns Warm two point two, but I am waiting until he releases his next version which should be compatible with the new Radios, PRI, PRLS etc. You might also want to stay away from any of the Gingerbread based roms until they are fully ported over and bug free.
The rom you mentioned in your post is Cyanogen Mod. Although this is a good rom, it is also an AOSP rom which doesn't have HTC Sense. Therefore if your looking for something similar to stock but with all the tweaks and goodies you should choose a Sense Based Rom.
Best advise is to just keep flashing & flashing until you find the Rom that you like best. Everyone's tastes are different and there is no "Best Rom" out there, it just personal preference.
Hope this helps
Thank you all, who responded I am gonna try out the "Sprint lovers"
"Myna" roms far as the kernel I am not to sure about those just yet. Need to read up still.. lol So for now I am very open to suggestions . I look forward to expanding my knowledge on here with ya'll. I just don't want to brick my phone, I will die! Lol I love my evo!
P.s do I do the "Back up's" and "Nandroid" back up's, when changing roms and kernels?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
first, DEFINETALLY DO A NANDROID BACKUP. as a general rule, backup whenever you like the state your phone is in (before you make a mod) and always have at least one backup handy always. titanium backups are helpful for changing roms because you can get all your app's data back. helpful on games and the like.
for kernels, i would suggest netarchy's 4.3. he says its is beta, but thats just because net likes his work to be perfect. it is as stable as anythign else. it has a nice sbc tweak as well. test many kernels. those are particular by phone. that is why people with the same phone get different battery life. what works well on one phone is terrible on another. so try netarchy's, maybe kingx's (off forum), and some others. i cant think of any more. i personally use netarchys though.
I don't know which to use I only care about battery life lol all roms feel the same to me, I would use sprint lovers but I don't want it to have the notification power control, anyone know how to use it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Wow...Is there a question in there?
All the ROM's feel the same to you? Try Warm or Cyanogen. Best ROM's ever.
not quite sure what you are asking here... i'll be vague as well... use which ever ROM you try out that you like the best
try vaelpak rom, www.vaelek.com , you won't find better dev. support
even has a special settings app for it in the market for free called vaelpak settings check out the screen shots in market
Best battery life and the best rom is MIUI, hands down
If you want sense then mikfroyo is the way to go

If you are only looking at those 2 roms i would say fresh. You say you dont want notification bar power controls.... almost every custom rom now has this.
Calk's Evio rom does have a mod that you can flash to remove it. It probably will work for any sense rom but i would nand droid first since this is untested. Additionally if the rom you use is themed it will likely remove the theme. Personally i am a fan of Evio and The New Koni's Elite Rom is out standing. Almost all sense roms are going to feel the same the fact is they are built off the same base. The only real difference is tweaks made for performance and the theme they put on. The tweaks wont visibly see they are behind the scenes the theme you will.
your last option is to read the post on how to modify the framework to get the notification bar work in reverse and remove it yourself.

I would totally disagree with that statement.
I for one love having an app drawer instead home screens with blank spots, and 100% working bluetooth, and receiving MMS, and using HDMI...but then again that is just me.
MIUI is a new and exciting concept, and every release they put out i flash it on my phone until i realize that it's still broken to the point that i don't want to use it anymore (usually 1 day), and then i flash back to FRESH or some other sense rom with a SBC kernel.
Oh and working USB tether is a MUST for me! Which MIUI does NOT do...at least not with WinXP machines.
I agree MIUI is a very different rom but i would not go so far as saying it is the best rom. In fact i dont think anyone can say what the best rom is because it is all personal preference.
Personally i didnt like MIUI
i totally agree. i need to start cooking roms. cuz every rom i try, even stock i have something visual or performance wise wrong. but i did enjoy fresh over sprint lovers fyi
K thanks guys sprint lovers wouldn't boot up

Whoa, all roms feel the same to you? I'm almost blown away by this comment. How long have you been using the Evo and messing with roms?
I agree with someone else here, MIUI is my favorite. Ava has my favorite sense rom.
God, so many great ROMs! I have a small selection that I put on my phone and those that I root for others.
My preferred custom Sense ROMs (not necessarily better or worse than any others) are EViO and Azrael, each slightly different but both great. Using EViO tonight.
Preferred Stock-ish ROM would be StockTurbo. Perfect for people like my wife!
Sense/AOSP tween ROM is Vaelpak..am excellent, very eccentric ROM.
Current fav AOSP, and what's backup up in my nandroid folder, is KingsROM Ultra Blue HAZE GBv10. I know, its a GB ROM, but I haven't had any issues with it, I haven't found anything that didn't work, and damn I love the GB cursor finger in text input fields!
This probably doesn't help anyone, but thank you for your time anyway.
Hi Guys n Ladies!
Im new to xda and allow me to say HI! =D
Im here struggling to find information regarding thigs id like to do to my phone!
Currently I have Tmobile G2 with CM7- Overclocked! Im not entirely noob, there are alot of questions i need answered but ill let google search do that!
Now, Im giving up.. cant find answers to things that im looking for!
I want SesneUI ROM that can be overclocked! So far ive been able to flush SenseUi roms but only at stock speed at 806mhz!
Is this possible? Is this a stupid question perhaps? lol ..
Anyone that can point finger and lead me to right direction or maybe supplying me with some linxx?
Thanks in Advance
Check out Virtuous ROM. I used it for a while and it worked very well. I believe they offer 2 different kernels. 1 is slightly overclocked, and the other you can use SetCPU with to get to the settings you want. At least thats the way it was a month or two back. I'd recommend Virtuous. Check out the Android Development section for more info.
Are you only looking for Gingerbread Sense ROMs? I don't think there are any kernels that support OC for Gingerbread/Sense yet. But I'm sure that's being worked on.
If you aren't asking about Gingerbread specifically, there are at least a couple of options. As already mentioned, Virtuous ROM has a couple kernel choices with different OC options.
Also, I know from personal experience that the stock Desire Z ROM works and overclocks just fine with the Godspeed kernel (and possibly others).
Great, Thanks Guys!
I Downloaded the Virtuous Rom + Advanced Kernel 2.1.2 and have found couple of things that are not quite properly operating. For Example: LockScreen sometimes stays Black(Screen Doesnt Turn on to unlock) and Homescreen Personalization Button wont operate or react (wont do anything) which is not a biggie, also bluetooth not quite sure if it works, because i couldnt link my headset! Any thoughts??? Overall its great, Exactly what i was looking for.. first, I didnt know how to flash kernel but youtube did the trick!
Thanks Again!!
Hey guys i just curious about what people want from a rom.Devs welcome
in my opinion : im good with 3.0 sense without bloatware i want cyanogen high brightness flashlight (i couldnt find any sense roms got this why? ) and an rom addon to overclock and to change governor(like an app or under settings )
that's my thoughts about a dream rom
i think its very important to participate cuz devs can understand what people want from a rom
Thank you !
And im using virtous unity 2.39
The answers to this post will be as different as what people think the best ROM actually is. The best answer is variety. We need some of each.
For me:
Simple but pleasing transitions. (I like 3D cube in MIUI)
All important apps accessible with as few button clicks as possible.
A decent keyboard. (I'll be reviewing my favorite soon) (I did like the HTC one when I used Sense.)
I'm happy with stock speed.
I'm happy with Camera/video camera app. (MIUI)
Easy to change theme for when I fancy a change.
It must include a file manager.
I prefer not to have Sense. I enjoyed it but prefer not to have it at the moment.
As few as possible included apps. (We can install them separately if necessary.)
As soon as you show it to a female - she gives you her number.
A nice and classic boot animation. No fancy stuff.
I enjoy Sense, both 3.0 and 3.5 so any will do. Classic themes.
Classic sounds. I actually like stock very much, but with tweaks and oc.
Both ARHD and Runny1.4 fullfill this, except Runny's boot screen. Although awesome, it's not what i'm looking for.
A Rom for me must be uncluttered, stable, quick, and customisable. ARHD springs to mind lol.

It really is not gonna matter to be honest. As stated above you will get a different answer from everyone. Also I hate to tell you this but these rims are not built for the user. They are built for the Dev and then he decides to share. For far too long people have forgoten what is done here on XDA. This is not a place to come and get a cool 100%working Rom. These roms will always have beta tags as they are all hacked software to see if the Dev can get it to work and then they share for others to learn. This is not a place to make your phone cool. This is a place where you get a Rom you like and then dig in to help fix any problems that come up. And no that doesn't mean by posting "this doesn't work" it means by digging in and finding the bug with all the tools XDA gives you. With the entry of android I think a lot of people have forgotten why we are here and what this site is about.
