I've tried several ROM's, but not Mik. I have been using Synergy RC1 and now RC2 and both of them are by far the best of any I have tried. Fast, fast, fast and highly customizable.

if you need to ask, you need to flash ......or maybe I just narrowly escaped a troll trap

never tried mikg but i am running synergy rc2 and before that i ran rc1 and before that the super early nightlys and even the nightly builds were smooth as hell haha. so i would recommend synergy and with myns huge fan base there is tons of flashable customizations to make it how you like it and im sure there is much more to come

I have tried both out and i have to say they are both very good. MikG 2.2 was Very Very fast and fluid haven't tried 2.4 but i see some issues already with that one but i currently reflahsed to RC2 to give that a go and so far i am happy its faster then rc1 also some tiny quirks i had it reboot on me 1 time but that was after i flashed not sure what caused that. So if you were to choose between the two id say its a toss up,. Try both and see whats better for you. Oh,, Mik comes with some extra apps that i never used but again the roms are both great in my opinion.

This is all great, i'm looking for some ROMs as well... unfortunately i can't root my EVO yet... stuck on 2.3.3 (decided to root too late in the game) but with all the commotion surrounding the idea of a possible binary root i have been eagerly looking for a Sense 3.0 ROM
i have looked all over utoob for a review of the Synergy RC2 but haven't found a single one... i did read somewhere tho that synergy's platform is Froyo and not gingerbread... not sure tho.
any other suggestions? is there something better out there? i would check myself... but as stated above, i cannot root my EVO yet :/

How do you see issues with a ROM that you've never tested yourself? As for the apps that Mik often includes, you can remove them yourself if you don't want them. I'd say that Mik and Synergy have about the same fan base (size wise).

I was on RC1 but went to the 3.0 nightlies. I daily drove RC1 for awhile but liked the carousel effects and a few minor things so I have been doing nightlies for awhile.
I think today I am going to go back to Synergy though. 3.0 is just too unstable for MY application. Fantastic Rom and works for some but it's too laggy for myself.
Mik was a good rom too but I ran it for so long I just wanted the change. Overall I think I like Synergy better with RC1 and am hearing RC2 only improved it.
LOL I think I might have ADD'ed out on this post. Sorry

Neither... This mik is a great Dec himself... The fastest smoothest most stable build to date with full sense 3.0 would be Kings Kingdom

Synergy had Sense 2.1 with many 3.0 items added to it. And if you look at the first page of Synergy thread there is 2 different reviews and at least 1 of then is a video review. I actually think both are.

Just watch an rc1 video. Its basically the same thing. Rc2 just has minor fixes

Have been using MikG since 2.2 and liking it a lot. Near as I can tell, everything works, and does so smoothly. I gave Synergy RC1 a shot and had couple of issues with Email and SMS. My guess would be that those issues were addressed for the RC2 release and probably aren't a problem. I just haven't taken the opportunity to try it out yet. Other than that, better is a relative term. Try them out and see which one fits your needs and wants.

Both are solid roms but i have to go with synergy for now

I've used both MikG 2.4 and Synergy RC1 and now RC2. I like both roms, but have to go with Synergy RC2 ftw
Swyped from my PC36100 using XDA App

Tried both, and MikG hands down. EPST actually works fully on MikG. Do a simple thing like GPSCLRX and it'll say Restarting in 10secs but it doesn't on Synergy. You have to manually restart. On MikG it simply just works. Little things like that make MikG better.

I'm not trying to start anything...but what do you mean more customizeable sir?
But yes, I would go with mik G hands down if I was rooted. I had always been a myn/warm rom fan until I used mikroms and they are clean, polished, and mik-optimized! Plus...we have an entire site dedicated to mikroms and so questions and answers are quickly responded to. Not to say that synergy is bad, because myn is still one of my favorites ..but I am saying aamikam is the best. Plus, synergy used (with expressed permissions) ideas and files from mikg so most things you find in synergy are in MikG.
But as I usually tell peeps, flash both! Nandroid and try each out for a day or a few hours. Set up your emails aand browse and stuff. See which one works on your phone. Both roms have great communities. I am mostly over on themikmik but when perusing xda I am either on Q&A threads or posting with the mynions

Sorry I don't see why you'd like to download dc 3.6 when we all know is NOT up to date. It has lots of bugs that the developer doesn't care to update. There are lots of very good roms out there to try. Give 'em a try, you won't be disappoint it.

Try This Rom
I'm Using OMJ Evo 2.2 Froyo v4.4.. It's very stable, smooth, quick, gets good signal, been running it for a week now, has all the phones features. It's in the top best Roms to be running. Don't sleep on it.
Personally
OMJ's stuff is pretty good as stated before, but try MikFroyo v4.5. Super fast ROM, really cool theme too. I'm a big fan of MIUI as well but it still has bugs, mainly no 4g and it has voicemail issues which you can fix with google voice but it's a hassle. Other than that though it is a great non-sense ROM, it is very fast as well but don't overclock behond 1Ghz. Kernel allows for it but your phone won't run better even if you get better linpack numbers. Fresh IMO is slow I wouldn't bother.
damage is much too outdated to use. he has a bad habit of doing this to his users. he probably moved to another device without saying anything.
use mikfroyo or myn rom.

[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)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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

ASOP is justnot cutting it. I love sense.
AOSP is nice to try and tinker but I always come back to sense.

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.

Well then the best thing to mess with is the miui Rom.
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] What is the best rom to use?

What is a great rom to use that not gonna cook your phone cause of a messed up or overclocked kernel? I was using the CM 7 rom for awhile I loved it tho I didn't like the camera app on there would like to find a rom that hdmi is working and stock camera app is working with themes. Right now im using the Sprints Lovers rom. Any ideas thank....
Well you're gona get a ton of answers. I here Myn's warm two point two is good. And if you want hdmi, you have to stick to sense-for the times being.
Myn's would be my first suggestion. As far as I know, it has all the things you wanted.

Check out the poll. Try them out and see what you like. Everyone has their own preferences. Link in my sig
I like to use MikFroyo the most. Very responsive and everything works.
MIUI. HDMI doesn't work but it doesn't matter, MIUI is worth the trade off.
If you want one that everything works definatly myns warmtwopointtwo
I like Fresh too, but Myn's looks so much better and I think it runs better.
I have seen this question so many times now, mostly in the Dev section. Thanks for posting where it belongs lol.
I have tried almost every rom out there. Some package specific (non-stock) kernels, which may not be the best out-of-the-box experience, depending on your hardware.
I too +1 for Myn's RLS5. It's stock-esque, but better, if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be adventurous, try MIUI. It's fricken' awesome, but doesn't have 4G yet or HDMI. I've found the HDMI personally to be worthless anyway after buying an adapter on eBay.

Myns is very stable. I've been using it since I've rooted my phone, and no matter how many different ROMS I try, I always come back to Myns because it just plain works. Also, Myns ROM thread is incredibly active, and if you ask a question there, more than likely you'll have a solution/answer by the next hour. Ontop of that, myn reads most, if not every post in the thread and listens to what the community likes and doesn't like about his work, and keeps them updated on what he plans to work on etc.
I'm sure other people can make similar arguments for other ROMS, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I just tried the virus rom his latest one it says sensless but you have a option to turn sense on and the stock camera and hd works also pretty nice rom worth checking out.
I've tried Myns, Ava, Kings, Elite, Fresh, Azrael, and MikFroyo. Most of them have been pretty stable, but IMO MikFroyo is where it's at. If you need a bit more eye candy, Kings is based of MikFroyo and has a ton of themes.
Although my biased opinion says try CM7 again

Ya i love the cm 7 just wanting on the stable update the voice mail thing got annoying the text thing that came through with every voice mail you got and no HDMI yet.
Personally I have tried a ton. Sense based: MikFroyo and Myn's. But I would also have to say MikFroyo. After a few weeks of using both Mik is less laggy. Plus he has an optimized LauncherPro which did it for me since I use the car dock a lot and need a landscape launcher.
Currently testing gginggerbread-6 (CM7 RC1+4G). Its not bad. A few FC but overall stable enough to run daily.
Didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some opinions on which ROM to put on my wife's new EVO. She's not very tech savy so I don't want to keep changing things on her phone by flashing different things all the time. I just wanted to pick one great looking, speedy ROM that seems to have virtually no issues.
I'm not the type to flash every single ROM so my experience is limited to Baked Snack, Fresh, and CM7 RC1/nightlies. I'm figuring a nice Sense ROM will be best for her.
What you say?

I ran Fresh before I made the jump to MIUI, it's a great ROM, very stable and bug free. That would be my recommendation. He doesn't update it as much as some of the other devs do theirs, but that will prevent you from having to update often.

[Q] Will I be stuck with myn's RLS5 forever?

Hey guys, if any of you are like me you have faced the same problem. I've been using RLS5 for what seems like forever now and I feel like it's time for a change. The problem is that no new roms seem to be quite as good. Sense 2.0 sucks battery and doesn't have 4g. I need a solid sense rom with the power control widget in the notification bar, the ability to customize the rosie buttons and working 4g (all like in RLS5).
any suggestions? I am thinking about switching to King's UNLeashed Ultra R3.

Well nightly 28 is all going smooth. Also if you're hellbent on sense, go for king's ultra.
I switched to R3 2 days ago and absolutely love it. Came from myns rls5, then z and now kings r3. I can say this Rom is truly awesome with nets 131 kernel!!
Edit: Also TommyTomatoe is pumping out custom rosies and title bars at a good pace

You should try all the available ROMs at the moment. There are a ton of awesome Roms out there. King's roms are great, CM7 is really cool, VaelPak is a great nonsense ROM, Evervolv is a great AOSP rom, MikFroyo is a fabulous Sense Rom. You get the point! There's a ton of awesome ROMs out there, and now a days, 99% of them, except for the ports, are fully functional. AOSP has 4g, gps, and full hdmi mirroring now. Try them all, it's fun.
Honestly I'd stay in myns rls5, its if not 1 of the best sense roms out there. I was running cm7 for a good while but sh!t never seems to fully work and just to many work arounds/bugs for my taste. I nandroided back to myns this morning and couldn't be happier

Try MIUI, you'll love it!!!
I like MIUI a lot. I just miss the sense widgets. (Twitter feed, News feed, Calendar widget, etc.)
I'd give it a try, you might like it. Myn's RSL5 is by far my favorite Rom though.

same here, im stuck on rsl5 and im happy.. i could care less if there is change.. ive tried other roms but always come back to this.. updates are just fun but not really a must..
I have used myn's warm 2.2 since rls3-5. Probably one of the most stable roms ever. I have moved on to cm since nightly 19. I feel it was buggy at first but now on #28 just about perfect. Not finished yet though. I feel it will be soon. I am hard pressed to say anything bad it even as an unfinished product.
A lot of the mods most people want to do are native to cm. So little if any theming or modding really needs to be done.
My gf's evo is still on myn's because it is so stable. You know how those its not doing it right conversations go. I can deal with a little imperfection.
All that being said. You should always try a bunch of roms. My evo and likings/needs may not be the same as yours.
Always do a nandroid..

Try avalaunchs avafroyo z3, he's about to release z4, it'd based off of mikfroyo by aik and it's awesome, very fast and themed blue, probably the most underrated sense rom on the site
I'm in the same boat, been on myn's for a few months now. I did flash cm7 rc2 a few weeks ago, and have been using that since, but I do miss Sense.
Try Koni's Elite, I found it to be very similar to myn's.

Honestly I'd stay in myns rls5, its if not 1 of the best sense roms out there. I was running cm7 for a good while but sh!t never seems to fully work and just to many work arounds/bugs for my taste. I nandroided back to myns this morning and couldn't be happier

^^Couldnt have said it better myself^^
I try all the ROMs w/ 4g working that comes out and after 2 or 3 hrs i ALWAYS find myself nandroiding back...
OP i guess your not the only one. We're stuck...
I consider myself lucky, myn's rls5 never worked for me, and tried numerous times. I flash a new ROM every other day, right now I like Salvage Mod 1.1 the best, everything worked perfect right of the box for me.
Koni elite II is a great sense ROM, and he has a new one coming out in a couple days hopefully
haha yeah, I think I am just going to reflash RLS5 with a few tweaks and tell myself it is new lol.
Koni's Elite Series II has replaced rls5 as my daily driver. It's very fast and stable with custom icons and a cool rosie.
VaelPak
I like VaelPak since his rom includes customized settings menu to download and flash kernals, theme up via packages of your choice, and its quick like all of them. What sets apart VaelPak from the others is his constant and immediate response to questions and issues and the ability to customize the rom's look and feel without having to go to XDA. Everything is nicely packaged into one rom.
It's as fast as Myn and it has the power control notification pulldown

What's the best Rom for the EVO

I am looking to find out what other people use on there EVO and why they like or love it better than any other rom that is available here.
I have tried both sprint lovers and cm7 and I have likes and dislike with both. So please give me your reason why on likes and dislike to help me choose my next Rom to try.

The best rom is all opinion. I love cyanogenmod personally, but you may not. Keep flashing roms until YOU find YOUR favorite.

Is just like asking "whats the best pizza in town" im sure you will get different answers... roms are the same.
I am using Kings Unleashed Blakk3. Why I like it? Because it looks cool, runs super fast and my battery last forever.
I'm using MIUI because it pisses my iPhone loving roommate off

I like CM7, fast smooth, no problems. Some would argue against it with the recent mysterious things happening with the rom lately for people just flashing it.
miui and destroyer v2 are my favs right now.. but im looking to try something else.. im kinda tired of sense based roms because it makes me feel like i havent really changed anything from rooting..

Check my signature... friggin' awesome!
I didn't like cm7 tell mag built destroyer from it, I've tried almost all the Roms that are out and i keep going back to destroyer now v2, it's fast and fun. It's one of the best gingerbread Rom i have used with the least amount of glitches. All you need to do is check out destroyer threads and read the op and i believe you will enjoy it.

I tried a destroyer Rom not sure which one and it was running fine, then after about 24 hrs of uptime it had a random bootloop. I was able to pull battery and it booted fine but that soured my taste for it.

Why not test a few and make your own choice. "best" is a matter of opinion imho

Version one of destroyer had a few glitches, if you flash version 2 over version one it takes care of the glitches, and there is a lot of information on both threads about solving little errors like that. I've had 0 random reboot on version 2. And there is always a chance for them with Asop Rom, at least that's been my experience with all that i have tried.

i will probally do that, i currently just flashed kings unleashed black r3 then flashed the blue ballah theme im likeing it so far. will see over time.
The best ROM for the Evo is the one that suits your needs the best.
Everyone's are different.
For me, Sense: Koni's and King's.
CM: Destroyer and SalvageMod
If you want the best of both worlds, VaelPak is really cool!
I agree pretty much with the above. Destroyer is probably my favorite ROM, but right now I'm trying out Savaged-Zen RC1. You need to try a variety of them and just see what fits you.
Minimally, I would recommend trying Miui, VaelPak, Kings Unleashed/MikFroyo/Warm, and some Gingerbread AOSP ROMs (CM7, Savaged-Zen, Destroyer, SalvageMod, etc.).
I was an unleashed fan, so i can see the appeal. King dose make a fast stable Rom. I just didn't like all the themed app icons, and then having to uninstall and install the app again just to updated. And all the setting up of the ext and movement of the app to it, with the cm Roms a2sd is built in and you can have them auto to the external, i have 31 downloaded app and only 73 mb of internal used. Also with the theme pack from version one of destroyer you have access to changing the theme on the fly and not having to boot into recovery and flashing the theme zip, wireless tether is also built in. I use multi mount for connection to my computer since i have all my app on the card. I could tell you everything i enjoy about this Rom, I'm hoping that mag gets the Evo 3d and builds a destroyer for it.

i think miui is great but i got the phantom voicemail icon that seems to be plaguing everone..
but my fav non sense rom is definitely destroyer v2 but i felt like a little change of pace and am on vaelpak right now..
for me i think the best roms are the significantly "different" ones.. i never want to see a phone act like mine anywhere!

The phantom voicemail fix is HERE i've personally done it myself and it does work.
I'm the same way, I like originality with my phone. Best thing for you to do if find a rom you like and see what customization zips it offers. I tell every Myn's since it lists a ton of mods on the thread (click my red signature banner) and Konikub's Rom as well offers nice customizations to make the phone "unique".
edit: oh and of course MikFroyo
Kewl, ill give that rom a try on my next rom install. So far I'm. Liking kings unleashed dark rom. But a channge is in the works soon everything mostly in black and white gets boring quick, and I already tried the blue ballah theme like it as well.

cm7 is my preference. it has everything i need and everything i want and everything i dont need all packaged in one. there are so many options, and it is CRAZY fast and i get FANTASTIC battery. destroyer (1 and 2) are just themed versions of cm7. try cm7 or destroyer. and if you dont like the look of cm7, keep in mind there is a one click theme changer built in.
a list of every rom i would try. KEEP IN MIND YOU DONT KNO A ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN IT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS WITH HEAVY USAGE, OR A DAY WITH MEDIUM TO LOW USAGE.
try :
cm7: aosp base, biggest dev project on xda. spans across many phones. most popular rom (probably) over all xda. seriously cool. try it try it try it.
miui: also aosp base. also spans across quite a few phones. this is much more custom than cm7. it looks and feels like a combo between android and iphone. some people like it, some people dont. some people love it. some people get 4 days of battery life on it. try it to see where you stand.
myn's warm twopointtwo: very popular sense (stock) based. dark themed. fast. customizable. good battery. again, was crazy popular. has sort of lost popularity cuz myn stopped updating ("if i cook froyo anymore, it will burn " -myn) but if it's new for you, it can still be really cool.
mikfroyo: another popular sense based. fast. compressed. fast. customizable. i'm not a fan but many are.
android creative syndicate: this team has released a few roms. ultra unleashed and koni's elite. try at least one if not both. they are very good themers (you can tell they like black) and take rom building seriously.
you dont need to try this next one, but it is the perfect in-between.
vaelpek rom is sense based, but stripped down as much as possible to be pretty much senseless. you will get a little of that sense sluggyness and high memory, but not much. the dev does a great job making this the rom for all who want a perfect in-between with everything working but as littel sense as possible.
also reccomended: one of the desire z ports (mik z or myn's warm z). salvage mod: stock gingerbread.
any others to add?
hope this helps you make your decision.
