was wondering if theres a rom that saves batteryh for inspire 4g.. need that

For most people It's AOSP + Tiamat or SZ kernel + undervolting + underclocking.
Try the newest ROM by Deck with the newest Tiamat SBC kernel and viperMOD to UV.
Juice Defender is nice as well, configure it to your liking so it will govern your data/WiFi usages and save battery for you.

{Q} What the preferred AOSP rom w/overclockable kernal?

Im looking for something that is a preferably a clean AOSP rom with an overclockable kernal. I cant seem to find anything good. I am used to the LEO 1024 and coming to the Evo it is a bit different being a Android "inherent" device and CDMA. It doesnt seem overclocking is preferred over here, because I havent really seen it mentioned much. It doesnt have to be AOSP I suppose, even sense will work. Thanks in advance guys.

Wow, thats crazy. On my HD2 Im using Hyperdroid CM7 which pulls under 5ma consistently. It goes as low as 2ma! Its my little battery sipper. Couple that with a 128 linux swap and an extra 1024 for ext-4 in addition to the 1024 of internal rom and its about as good as it gets.
I wish this Evo was mine though. The HD2 is like the ugly cousin of the Evo, lol.

evo deck or cm7?

what rom is more stable and has better battery life?
Some people like deck's, but I get great battery life on CM7 itself, stable, ect.

You'll be fine with either.
Hard to say, I tried cm many times over the years and now I just switched from sense 3.0 to deck 1.2 w a savaged zen 2.2.1 cfs kernel. Everything booted extremely fast and seems to work great! I am very satisfied w the battery life an only issue I am seeing is a slight GPS issue but I haven't had time to really address it. No one else is complaining about it so I'm sure its me, but even that being said...I recommend deck w the kernel mentioned. I have it set at 998mhz and either on demand or interactivex gov is working great. No lag. No hickups. Camera, mms works. Wifi is grabbing great and it just gets it done.
i think im gonna try out decks 1.2
after i flash is there anything else i should do to it?
Edit: GPS took a day to settle in and now working great!

Get the deck rom, gapps, and go ahead and get sz 2.2.1 cfs. Flash rom, then gapps then kernel. The reboot. Let it settle. Full reboot after it settles. Then set up. Give it a day or two before you move on and see what u think. Also keep your speed at stock speed and see how you like it. Mine is running fantastic. Don't see a need to overclock ATM

Best ROM for EVO4G? (best battery life?)

Which ROM is the best ROM for the Evo4G? The most famous ROMs that I always read about is Cyanogen and MIUI?
which has a better battery life?
I'm using cm7 and thimat kernal not bad so far
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Try them both...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
In my experience MIUI and CM are on similar footing when it comes to battery; it could go either way since they are both pretty similar (MIUI is based off of CM).

World peace with no regard for human life.
If you like Sense, I recommend the MikG 2.45 rom. You can then experiment with the new Freedom kernels (currently at version 0.8, with varying versions (stock, less, more, aggressive) which have different degrees of undervolting built in for improved battery life.
I went ahead and tried CM7 on the EVO 4G and it works flawlessly.
I'm sure I can save more battery life if I use SetCpu profiles? Is it o.k. to use setCPU profiles with the kernel that comes with CM7? Or is there a better kernel to use?
Also, i prefer SetCPU profiles because I can use the screen-off profile to underclock and save battery when my phone is not in use.
Miui is not based off of cyanogenmod. Miui is better anyway. IMO that is.

I love sense 3.0 Roms and you should definitely try one of kings Roms and any other out there. Anyways, if you like aosp then you should def try decks. Great on battery and works flawlessly. His Rom also has the cyanogen settings to overclock and go into detail with your phone

I have to say Decks ROM is the best I've used. Its very stable and smooth as silk. Using the SavagedZen with BFS Kernel got me excellent battery life...
So far its out of Kinged kingdom or Kings Alliance. My kid sat on my phone and played gun bros for about 4 hours yesterday around midday 10ish - 2 o'clock and the battery still had a little juice left(had not been charged since like 7am). Alliance is a little better to me only cuz it has the hacked hotspot(no error 67).
The Baked Snack ROMs are renowned for battery life.

Tiamat 3.3.7

Been rocking sense lately but nothing beats decks + savagedzen + vipermod + supercharger v6 for battery life and performance.
Edit: ......in my opinion
could you tell me where you download these from?
including the SavagedZen with BFS Kernel ?
thank you

Miui syncs up with the cyanogenmod tree quite frequently actually. While its not based off of cm their vendor trees are.

ROM Recommendations.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.
Shooter Evo 4G
Cm7 latest version with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernal. Can get 24 hours depending on usage.

Whats a good sense rom thats stable?i mean everything ive seen has somethin messed up like 4g,sms errors...multiple bugs.i need something stable,where u dont need to keep flashing back n forth.froyo gingerbread i dont care my main concerns are a smooth performance with optimal battery life,i possibly wanna put in an SBC kernel....
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
How about for myself.
I have my EVO flashed over to MetroPCS and currently have Metrodroid2.2 running on the phone. Would I be best to continue running with that ROM, or switching over to CM7.1 along with a patch from the Metrodroid thread for MMS?
What is best for me?
SNS Gingerbread v1.4.1
I like the SNS Gingerbread v1.4.1 because it has a smooth, simple look. Also, I noticed a little boost in battery life.

Oh, sorry.
For stability, try MikG. No issues for me. I quite personally use r3chargeD, it is so awesome and I have AMAZING battery life. I think the update to come for it will make it impossibly awesome
ChopSuey kernel is my personal preference
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.
Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.

How do you have yours set up? I have CM7 with Savaged Zen and it runs faster than any other ROM/kernel combo I've tried.
Im not running setcpu so its not overclocked or underclocked

Im not saying its slow im more looking for better signal and a sense like feel from an aosp

Good luck with that kind of find...
If you're looking for a sense-like feel, why not just go with a sense ROM? I personally use Synergy ROM and everything works super fast, no issues, and service seems to be better than when I had CM7 on it. That and sense ROMs also make full use of the phone's hardware, such as the camera...
The support and extras are a pretty sweet deal, as well.

Signal strength is not universal. You can have the same signal strength on your phone but it will display as a different number of bars based purely on your ROM. CM seems to be one of those ROMs where I have a really good signal yet I'm only showing about 2 or 3 bars. Its just the way the ROM displays it. Flashing another ROM and getting more bars doesnt mean your signal strength is any stronger or weaker at all.
Also, if you're looking for a sense feel then just get a sense ROM. There are a lot out there to choose from. I'm actually thinking of running Boot Manager on my phone and flashing a sense ROM alongside CM7 so that I can make use of the abilities of the sense ROMs when I need to.
I switch between Fresh 4.22 and CM7 pretty regularly and love battery life/performance of both. I use Tiamats 4.1 SBC on CM7 and the stock kernel on Fresh, although it would be choice if there were a Sense SBC kernel.

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I keep coming back to Mik's roms. On MikG now and love it. Battery life is great too but then I use all the app tricks I can find. App2SD / DroidWall / SetCPU / StartUp Auditor. If your signal strength is bad just call Sprint and ask for an Airvanna. Once it's hooked up you should be up to 4/5 bars constantly. That's been my experience.
Have you tried team nocturnals merge Rom its sense based with an soap feel its pretty nice if you are trying to have your cake and eat it too
