Looking for ROM recommendations... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I am looking to move to a different ROM. I am currently on Cyanogenmod 7 Nightlies and have been for at least 4 months. Prior to this, I was on Myn's TwoPointTwo, but development seams to have stopped on that, although it was not bad when I was on it.
I would like a ROM that is mostly Gingerbread AOSP without a lot of mods. CM7 is nice, but I can't stand the WyContacts dialer/contacts/history app. I like them separate. I do like ADWLauncher, so that cooked in is fine.
I don't know if this is a CM7 problem or not, but WiFi Hotspot interferes with Bluetooth. Causes my calls to cut in and out like crazy.
Any suggestions would be great.

Deck. It's like CM without the extra bloat. Great battery life and blazing fast. Wrong forum, but no big deal.

My 2 cents is deck 1.2.1 with tiamat 4.0.6 with sbc. Blazing fast with regards to overclocking, not to mention a lot if free internal memory and available RAM. Battery drains quickly overclocked. Capable and stable at 1.226ghz (i think that's the setting) using Android overclock from the market. Also has built in advanced settings, similar to cm7's. A lot of nice tweaks in there. Just my experience. Hope it helps.

Thanks! I've just flashed to Deck.
However, the first thing I noticed is that it still uses WyContacts. Any way to go back to Gingerbread dialer/contacts/history apps?

New miui is good...

If You Live In A 4G Area I Would Recommend Any Rom With 4G (its an essential for me). I would recommend synergy, mikg, or cyanogen. If not in 4g area or dont care about it get new miui. Looks awesome.

+1: the gingerbread-evo-deck has been my favorite AOSP ROM since it was released; currently at 1.2.1. I like the Go Launcher and Go Contacts so I've switched to them. Added Link2SD to utilize my Ext3 partition for apps, and that's about it. Throw all my apps on there, everything works and works great!
If you're interested, also works great with custom kernels by Savaged-Zen and Tiamat (currently using SZ 2.2.1). There are many great options, but IMHO you can only get different, not better.
Good luck, and thank you for your time.

Your post count is over 100 and you've been here for a year, and you could have just skipped over this thread completely after reading the title. So, the only reason that you opened this thread at all was to chastise the OP. So as you question why he committed the mortal sin of posting in the wrong area, you should also be asking yourself why it was so important for you to slam him with obscenities for it.
Personally, I'm far more annoyed when someone posts, "What's the battery life like?" in a thread with 500 responses including 60 responses to that same question that has already been asked 10-times in the same thread.
Yes, this was posted in the wrong area, but in my observation you get much better responses to such a question here than you will in Q&A because many users, myself included, rarely if ever go into the Q&A area. I'm not supporting posting in the wrong area, but I do understand why a question like this was posted here.
Thank you for your time.

this post removed, since thread was moved out of development.

Someone needs a hug. Anything you need to get off your chest? We're all here to listen. Don't be scared.
And I'm liking SynR2. No SBC but I enjoy some of the new sense.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. First of all, I didn't mean to put it in Development, but when you're in that forum looking for ROMs, the first reaction is to just click POST NEW THREAD. Thanks for moving me.
I have been on gingerbread-deck for almost 24 hours now. It is definitely fast.
That said, it still uses WyContacts. Do nearly all AOSP ROMs use that? Does Gingerbread not have it's own dialer and contacts apps?
If a ROM doesn't have ADW Launcher built-in, is the standalone version the only option or is there a way to kind of integrate it with Gingerbread? Any advantages to this?

Yes. Another what rom question.

OK so I'm done with poor battery performance on my rooted stock rom evo.
I have tried elite 3: Bluetooth wouldn't work and some market apps wouldn't install and various other things were buggy. Liked the battery and feel though.
CM7 was OK but I use groups for my dialer too much so that was out.
So I'm looking for a good battery sense rom were things work. Netflicks, GPS, 4g... well all of it really.
I'm thankful for the developer's work but isn't there a rom that just works without all the little buggers at this point? I don't care about boot animations if I can't use the phone as its built.
Yeah I'm *****in but still.
Any thoughts?

Try Dr. Ryder's Eternal Prophency v5.9 or Calkulin's EVIO 2 v1.8 with the 150mV undervolt if your phone can handle it. Both are low on theming with above average battery life with everything working.
Try anything gingersense or gingerbread, you notice a significant battery improvement. Only thing Netflix don't work with gingersense but im sure we'll see something pretty soon about that.
Also turn off your mobile data when your not using your phone, Or find an app that turns it off when while the phone sleeps. That'll help too.
I second that on eternal prophecy too, if you need to stay on froyo.
Seriously man, just look at the star rating next to the ROM and start flashing and figure it out yourself. I'm sure you can read a list of what works and what doesn't on any ROM. If you didn't like ES3 or Cyanogen, you may be a bit picky and should probably download dsixda's htc kitchen and bless us with your perfection.
Done preaching, I have run SalvageMod 1.2.1 for a month straight without any problems and I demand more out of my phone than 99% of the people on XDA. If you don't like the AOSP dialer, download a different one from the market.
Salamander. (Alaman I had to leave this auto correct cause it makes me laugh)
Anyway. Yes I'm picky so get over it. I checked the market and tried some things. Not to my liking.
Regardless I just had to post. I can see star ratings just fine. That's why I tried a couple of roms. I had an og Droid with cm6 and that was neat. Still like that phone too.
There is nothing wrong with me asking for what I'm looking for.

You know something alaman. Why did you even bother? That's exactly the reason I haven't posted before because I do read. For a couple months now and tried some things.
If you want me to bless you how this... suck it hard baby.
I specifically posted my thoughts and what I'm looking for and didn't slight anyone. Simple criticism is all. I love design and neato stuff these guys do. I see potential in it and desire more. Why not? HTC built sense to make android better for whatever market they saw fit. Fine and dandy. I like to use my dang ol evo they way I want and would like to see these things happen.
If my post bothers you and you are complaisant with your phone then go on dude. Ya prick.

I have been running Elite III since it was released and never experienced any issues. Apps have always installed. Bluetooth is flawless. I use bluetooth heavily as I connect to both my car stereo and my computer. Really haven't had any issues with it at all. I love it.
I re-rooted my phone and am using the latest stock rom. I'm getting really good battery life. I can go all day on a charge with normal use. I turn my 3G off when not using it. That's all.
Have you done the battery calibration? It's a pain in the ass but I would swear by it. It's a loooong one time process but worked great for me.

Htc evo rom virus rom
if you want a rom thats amazing for the HTC Evo try Virus Roms there the best i think
my favorite as of now is VR Kingdom and its got 4G and Sense 3.0 with is amazing battery life is good to an extent depends on what your doing at the time but keep in mind the rom is huge like 350MB+ but you wont regret flashing

Why doesn't anyone use newts incredible hd Rom?

It's sense 3.5 and so far I have experienced no bugs, great battery life and way better speed than BAMF. And why does anyone use BAMF in the first place? I used BAMF for a week before discovering newts inchd and it was ok and all but it wasn't as fast as inchd and its an older version of sense. Plus BAMF had more bugs(or bugs in general) and inchd has better battery life. Just my thoughts.

Also sense 3.5 is more polished than 3.0 and there are noticable changes coming from sense 3.0. It looks way better.

Skyraider Zeus is great if you're looking for stock mixed with the favorite sense 3.0 aspects. Very well done, and supports GSM.
This ROM is based on sense 3.5 which is actually an unreleased version. It's more refined IMO, and a lot better put together.
Downsides would be in SZ, you don't have the eye candy that is DINC2HD, but with DINC2HD you can't change lock ring. In all honesty, its all preference. Both ROMs are very well put together. I personally would recommend them both to people depending on what they were looking for.
For me, DINC2HD is my daily. I've found it hard to change to anything else.
Hope it helps
Sent from my DINC2HD
I'm just not that into Sense, so I spend a lot more time on the AOSP ROMs. But I've given pretty much every Dinc2 ROM a spin, and I actually agree; Newt's "Incredible 2 HD" ROM is easily the best Sense-based ROM available for this phone. Not trying to hate on BAMF, but I think Newt wins out.

It just seems to be the most complete. The least amount if bugs, and the funny part is its a test ROM sent out by HTC. I say they're finally on the right track. This also has more free RAM than the sense 3.0 ROMs I've tried.

Well, definitely not as much as MIUI lol. Around 160-ish after a while. It's not huge and I got better on stock, but considering what all this does over stock, and how I was getting closer to 100 using sense 3.0 I'd say its running smoother. Plus, its android so free RAM means much less than on Windows.

POLL: What is your favorite rom thus far

Just wondering what everyone else likes for a rom. Feel free to tell us your likes or dislikes with your current rom. With the choices we have available to us on this device, I'm sure some are wondering which rom is right for them.... this poll should give people some kind of direction.
EDIT: I must apologize. I must of been tired to miss putting viperROM on the poll list. Don't suppose there is a way to edit that poll is there?
I'm loving Starburst and glad I finally budged out of my curmudgeonly ways off of stock as I wait for CM. It's very full featured and allows tweaking without turning into a theme-fest. I was very surprised with it.
Though I am also preparing my phone to try out some other ROMs today....I'm a big fan of Calkulins work so I'm pretty eager to try that out.
Calkulin FTW
Although to be fair I haven't tried starburst yet. Didnt boot when I tried it but it was my first attempt at a custom ROM on this phone so I am sure I did something wrong

To be honest, and maybe this means I'm a ****, but when I read about people having all kinds of problems with a rom or a kernel or a mod or anything my first thought is automatically "they probably fncked something up."
A vast majority of the times this is, in fact, the problem. I'm on my 8th? 9th? Android device. I hack 'em up to pieces. I try to be a good boy and read everything thoroughly...but I don't. I skim for the important bits. If I screw something up it's usually pretty obvious, then I fix it, then it works. I have never actually had a ROM that has destroyed my battery life (I have with experimental kernels, but, to be expected), I have never lost 3G function, I have never gotten unfixable bootloops, I have never killed my wifi or 4G to where a full wipe and reflash didn't bring it back...never. For years now I have been hearing some wild problems from people and never actually experienced any of them for myself in a way that wasn't fixable, by myself.
I have gotten better battery life, faster internet, working youtube, faster wifi (the 'wifi n' mod on Evo4G), etc etc etc.
I don't know, I'm always skeptical of people claiming a rom or kernel are screwing things up when there are other people with no problems at all.
Alpha and Beta roms notwithstanding, lol
viper for some reason not on here..
but anyway, my vote is for viper. Need to try Calkulin more though
yeah.. where's viper? I think the rom is quiet good.. and nobody 's seems to complain much on his thread..

I am also not sure how to approach this. There are only a few roms that don't support wimax.. I suggest calkulins. It's my go to rom. I've heard starburst is pretty good too.. But in the future, please try to read a bit. maybe look at the roms that have a lot of view and/or comments. The OP of each thread will tell you just about everything you need to know.
IMO, there is no more stable custom ROM right now then UnNamed. If I wasn't so flash happy, I would stay with that but I'm changing ROMs every 2-3 days now...
But anyway, yeah UnNamed is the best ROM as far as stability is concerned.
Oh and I got over a day of moderate use from it. Don't believe me though, try it out!

+1 for Calkulin's roms. Good battery life, stable, so far I have not encountered any issues.
I've been extremely pleased with Calkulin's ROM. I have tried unnamed (which I also like) but I prefer the 5 icon dock and 5x5 app drawer and undervolt/underclock scripts in Calkulin's.

MJHawaii is right.. UnNamed is a hell of a rom especially with a few tweaks added in. I am quite sure you will not find anyone unhappy with it. Also like mentioned before there is a whole development section of great roms. Just make sure when you try them all you do not restore data and flash all of them cleanly and not on top of each other.
For battery life on this phone may I recommend 200-800 since your phone can clearly handle it...
no offence, but either dont flash and stay on stock or there is always the good ol flip phones!

Got to agree with the previous poster that suggested you just stay on stock. I'd prefer not having to see posts/threads like this in the future....

blazer is my daily driver.
i have not tried a single rom that has just flat out been unstable or unusable though; i steer clear of early/experimental builds, bust most of the roms in the dev section for this phone are pretty complete and comprehensive.
this is my first android device and initially i had trouble just rooting the thing, but thanks to xda's dev section my first flash was a piece of cake and i've had no issues or major complaints in 3 months of jumping rom to rom.
Just an observation. But your avatar shows you have at&t, shouldn't you be in a different section? This forum is for the Samsung epic 4g touch. Maybe thats why the roms aren't working. Unless you just havent updated your profile. (Im guilty of that as well)

I had trouble with the earlier update scripts on Sleeper. It seems 2.04 has gotten all the bugs out. You can't beat CleanGB for convering to MTD and Toad seems to be on top of his game. I have not tried them on BML but I am sure they are comparable. The advantage that Sleeper offers is 2 versions, slim and full. Both seem very fast at stock frequencies. Since I restore advanced data from nandroid my setups always look the same and can compare performance. Sorry if this wasn't much help.

Clean gb the whole way no bugs runs flawless. Sleeper has some bugs I won't get into specifics here nor is this post disconcerning any effort of said projects or devs
Not an option given, but cm7!

Kenny.
Haven't really paid much attention to eithe cm 7 or 9...brief looks at the forums for both make me leary as there seems to be lots of problems with them. Am I off base?

Cm7 should be solid it would depend on the nightly you flash. But cm9 is alpha so I'm sure it has some bugs

It's not for everyone. It is non-Touchwiz. That is probably the most important thing to remember so things will be different. I made a thread in General on both CM7 and CM9 where people can post tips and tricks to ease the experience of jumping over. I ran CM7 for awhile up to nightly 28. It is solid. CM9 as stated is in Alpha 3 now. It is pretty good for a taste of ICS but not for everyone.

I think the OP is looking for a production build, so a nightly build version would not be ideal. CleanGB would be my recommendation. Just less overhead and room for errors.
side by side comp
Interesting thing, obvious too for most...
Each of the Devs use each other stuff(s) and they give credit for the mods each have used in the final rom...
As a side by side, I can see pros and cons of the two, I have used both and seem to lean towards Sleeper...not sure exactly why. but I have nandrroids of both ready to go.
Just cant seem to want to try the CM builds, would love to see what the Viper Devs could come up with in EL30 though.

I just loaded the 1.1.2 BML, and seems to be solid.
