Ok so I'm currently running cm7 on my newly rooted HTC evo 4g. I was wondering if there are Roms that run as smoothly as cm7 and which roms have the most energy efficient os ?
Well most energy efficient would have to be myns warm 2.2.
World peace with no regard for human life.
i love cm7 and if you couple that with tiamat, you will get the best battery life. i can easily get 18-35 hrs easily. unfortunately, there is no kernel for gingerbread on sense yet. so looks like you would have to go with any froyo roms or any aosp roms, since they have plenty of custom kernels for you to choose from.
Mik roms. Froyo. G. Z.
Or warm 2.2.

thanks guys
I'm now running the new cm7.1 coupled with the tiamat kernel so my android is now up to 2.3.4 and I'm running the smartass CPU governer and its working amazingly. Very smooth and very efficient. Tommy I also tried your Rosie mod for unrooted phones before I got my replacement and dude that's a great idea for those who don't want to root for whatever their reason. Keep working on those bro. I need to take some programming classes and whatnot so I can learn to write my own mods. As well I've got a couple of ideas but i don't exactly know how to do it lol take care guys and thanks for the help
Decks is very energy efficient once you flash a custom kernel. Decks is cm7 just stripped down. I have my EVO running tiamat 4.0.5 overclocked to 1228 and underclocked to 128 while utilizing the performance governor. Smartass governor saves more power, but my extended battery can handle it. SV kernels are very good as well. SBC helps out a lot.
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.

I'm currently running Fresh Rom (newest) with the stock kernel that it comes with. My battery life is not near as good as it was before I rooted.
Question is.....I'm running setCPU currently and have been thinking about flashing to Netarchy to see if my battery life increases. Does anyone have experience with this combination's battery life compared to running stock with setCPU? I'm not sure setCPU will work with the Netarchy kernel or not. Also, is Netarchy compatible with wireless tether and 4G?
Thanks.
I run stock with SetCPU and love it.
if the kernal you are using uses HAVS, SetCPU will be no good for you.
goodandevo.com has some nice tips for saving some juice also...
20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life
that's pretty much all i can help you with... sorry.
I had no luck with batt life on Fresh 3.3...I ran all of Kingz kernels and then NA's...no luck. If you want good batt life I suggest a new rom...Myn
Good to know...I had TwoPointTwo on with Kings #11 not long ago but took off because I like the interface on Fresh a lot more. Something tells me Sprint TV app was disabled on this by default as well.
Are you running Myns currently? Which kernel did you like the best with it for battery life?
@SpaceMonky.....
I believe the kernel that comes with Fresh does not use HAVS...so SetCPU should be working fine.
Also, I have done all the things listed on goodandevo.net as well as numerous other "tricks". Only one I have not tried is the Colin hack made for Evo by Myn. Still up in the air on whether this actually makes a difference.
Hi,
I'm coming from owning a Droid Eris. I had it rooted and know a decent deal about ROMs, etc.
First, what is the best way to root the Dinc? I used the one-click app on the Eris.
And what ROM would you recommend? I'm looking for a stable and fast ROM that has Sense.
Thank You
One of the quickest, most stable and clean sense ROM's would be
- Sky Raider's 3.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
An excellent Kernel that majorly helped improve my battery life
- Chad's Incredikernel :
http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v.zip
You will need clockwork installed to create nandroid backups and also to flash new ROM's and Kernels, and additionally rooting your phone can be found below:
http://unrevoked.com/#inc
>> Everyone has their preference and I highly respect every developer on here, but there was just a few things in Lou's Kernel that bugged me.
I'm sure you will try a few ROM's before sticking with one, the above are just my suggestions. When running Chad's kernel, do not use setCPU or anything like it because it already has (a better) one built in that helps extend battery life with screen off, and performance/battery with screen on
Unrevoked.com to root.
IncRom for mostly stock sense ROM w/ some aesthetic touches - it's fast, stable, insane battery life.
IncrediblyReEngineered for a 'tricked out' very fast sense rom - stable and good battery life.
Thanks for the advice! That definitely helps.
I'm really liking the Incredibly Re-Engineered ROM because it seems fast, has Sense plus some tweaks and themes, and the dev does a good job updating it.
Just 2 questions:
1. It is based on the Evo framework. Is this okay? Is it still stable? I'm still kinda confused as to why I'd want to run a ROM built on the framework of another phone.
2. Is this ROM stable and pretty much bug free?
Thanks!!
Yup its perfectly fine. I also would recommend checking out the Redemptionrom and redemptive revolution rom. Both are very nice. There's so many good choices for the dinc.

Yes the EVO is very similar (in some cases identical) to the incredible.
Some say the EVO framework works better than stock, so that's why you see a couple of ROM's using it.
Go with Incubus's WarmZ......"F"ing AWESOME!

Dinc Roms vs EVO/Z Roms
The differences are minimal, and in most cases never noticed. One thing that always bugged me about Incredible Re-Engineered along with other roms with the same framework (can't remember which it is) is that MMS/SMS doesn't work with wifi enabled. Which personally is a problem as my house has poor 3g connections. If your looking for a stable Rom with active community Virtuous, Sky Raider and Magnolia are all amazing Roms and communities with very responsive devs.
Incredibly Re-engineered is purely EVO framework. I'm a huge fan of Incredibly Re-engineered, specifically 2.3.1. Not so hot about 2.3.2. I had quirky problems with it. It comes with Lou's #8 which works flawlessly, but I've been most happy with the Hydra kernel that comes overclocked to 1.153GHz, and undervolted on lower voltages using an on-demand gov. I tried a number of ziggy's but the last stable release had dreadful wake-up speeds. I had stability issues with the Incredikernel.
I tried out Incredibly Re-engineered Z 1.01 and felt luke-warm about it. It's loaded with apps I had no want of and came with Chad's 12/23 which works well, can be overclocked easily, but isn't. When I applied any of the rock-solid Hydra Kernels to it, I.R Z took a dump in several ways in a huge hurry.
A big plus to me with straight Incredibly Re-engineered is the massive number of mods Chingy has for it. If your big on widgets, the 4x5 themes gives you 20% more desktop that you won't want to give up once you get used to it.
Hey I was wanting to knw what could I do to speed up my Inc. I am currently running redemption 2.3 with overclocked kernel. It overclocked to 1.113. Or if someone has any other suggestions of roms and kernels it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Dinc
try re engineered z rom, its smokin fast with no oc
Ok I will. Does re–engineered z roms have custom mods u can add on to it. I am big in moding the title bar and the over all look of everything. Lol.
Dinc
Oh which version to get for the re engineered roms.
Dinc
Reengineered, ziggys latest w/ cfs and havs, adw launcher, desensed. Enough said!
I didn't like Incredibly Re-engineered Z. It was bloated with crap I didn't want and was stupid-quirky about swapping kernels. Straight Incredibly Re-engineered version 2.3.1 is my preference. It's not *****y about kernels, has an unthrottling mod, has a bunch on themes that won't break the optimizations, all kinds of other appearance mods both flashable and metamorph. I've got that version, running the cyan 4x5 theme, unthrottled, with Ziggy's 031811 beta kernel oc'd to 1153MHz. Runs like a raped ape. Totally love it.

Incredibly Re-Engineered is a great Rom, but the no MMS over wifi was a killer for me. Magnolia is 100% DInc framework, so there are no EVO/Z port quirks and is very peppy, drop a Ziggy or HIL kernel and your good to go. There isn't a whole lot of theming, but there is some, and both the themer and dev are very responsive and helpful when it comes to one-off modding

Ive had none of those issues with z, but the regular re eng is to slow and has just as much bloat.

Run Cyanogen 7 with a stock kernel (overclock if you want but it does not do much) and you will notice the difference. From what I have seen, most of the Z-Roms are slow and full of bugs.
Cyanogen also scored quite a bit higher on Quadrant and Smartbench benchmarks.
I agree CM7(gingerbread) will improve your overall speed of the phone.
CM7 did some work for my phone. I recommend it.

Does cm7 have mods for it are do I get them. I will definitely look into that one.

CM7 is probably the most modded ROM on xda.
Sweet. Can somebody send me the link for cm7 mods.

If you want to keep the Sense UI - some prefer it, myself included, I'm a "bells and whistles" guy, try SkyRaider 3.5, it will not disappoint you, is smooth as butter fast, and has not once given me any ****. I am going to flash CM7 tonight to see whats new with it and how it runs but historically (IMO!) it is a tad too plain Jane for me.
I was a "Sense" guy till I went to CM7, now I've been converted. Almost every widget Sense brings to the table there is a similar and as polished replacement. So far I haven't found a single thing that I miss from Sense with my current CM7 setup. I actually went back to Z ROM a couple days ago because I thought I missed sense then I realized how much faster CM7 really was. I might go back to Sense once there is a stable GingerSense available if there is a performance increase but till them I'm all about CM7, its also worth noting that my battery life is nearly double with CM7 compared to other Sense ROMs I've ran using a the same sync profiles on each of them.
Honestly, I'm going to recommend Warm 2.2. I'm running it with the Ziggy 12/19/10 that is included, UNDERclocked to 806MHz. It's still smooth as silk and lasts forever on battery.
I'm using Inc. Rom 1.5 Beta 2, and it is smoking fast (and has Sense)
Generally Sense is additional overhead, so any ROM that doesn't use it, has the potential to be fast.
I run Redemption 2.4 with the last Sense Incredikernel. So far im impressed with the smartass scaling and Ive underclocked to 883mhz (although i have the option to overclock for more speed) and ive noticed no slowdown. Not to mention Redemption is the most rock solid rom ive used so far. Im not a big theme-ing guy, im more about optimization, so maybe another RR fan can speak on that.

Hey guys waddup, I just recently got the miui rom and i'm inlove with it but wondering if anyone suggest any other kernels? I am currently using 2.6.37 tiamat v3.3.2 sbc.. not sure if there is anything better out there with faster cpu so i can overclock more or just overall a better kernel. I don't want to loose any usage of my phone such as camera ect.. I just want better performance(battery speed ect..) any suggestions? thanks guys
I run savaged zen kernels. allows overclocking to 1190 and adds more governor choices. works well. only complaint is slow wake up from lockscreen. good luck.
So I'm looking at putting a new ROM and kernel on my Evo. I've got Swagged Out Stock on it currently, but I'm not completely happy with it. I still want better battery life. And yes I run only 3G, Wifi/4G/Bluetooth/GPS turned off, the works. Battery life still sucks for me.
I find myself with a lot of choices here, though, and I'd just like some suggestions/opinions on the following ROMs. It's quite a chore to me having to switch ROMs and recustomize my phone each time.
Fresh Evo 4.2 (and the Fresh Toast kernel to go along with it)
CM7
EViO Series 3
Elite Series 3
MikG
Which ROM do you like and why?
Also, I have a question on the Freedom kernel. I might try it out, but there are different versions of it, Stock, More, Aggressive, etc. I looked around on the website and I can't find anything on the differences between each version. I get the gist by the name, but I want to know the actual differences. Can anyone help me out with that?
King bliss beta v7 with chopsuey kernal.I have not had any lag what so ever very smooth and fast.

Used mikg with more freedom for while then switched to bliss

Freedom Kernel: the names relate to the degree that they are undervolted. Stock is volted like the stock HTC kernel. Less is undervolted -75mv. More, undervolted -125mv. Aggressive, undervolted -175mv. Good thread to read about kernels here. Do not overclock when undervolted. Besides, overclocking is overrated. Underclocking your phone saves battery.
The ROMs you named are somewhat older, except for MikG and CM7.
MikG is sorta more recent, but it is at its "stable" point and shouldn't really receive any more updates.
CM7 is a work-in-progress. It is a never-ending process, but it is stable for Evo 4G. Always adding new stuff. It works very well, but some people say it is sorta bloated. Popular alternatives are Deck's AOSP and SalvageMod 1.4
EViO, Fresh and Elite are based on stock Evo 4G HTC Sense 1.0 stuff. EViO and Fresh are not really themed, only a few tweaks and few visual modifications. Elite is themed heavily (it is still Froyo-based).
They are all good ROMs. If you want heavily themed Elite, pair it with Netarchy-toastmod kernel. If you want a Gingerbread ROM, I suggest Poon or ChopSuey kernel.
Read my signature for suggestions.
Always read the OP and through comments. For example, Runnymede. You have to mount data in recovery before flashing a custom kernel.
