Hey guys,
I've had my evo about 4 months now and i'm jumping on the root train. Got it rooted last night with Unrevoked. Now I wanna do something cool. I've been reading for hours now and i'm more confused than ever. I basically want to have a custom display but dont know what to do/use. A little help would be great. What theme, rom, whatever should I use and how do I do it? Thanks in advance
I would recommend any one of the virus roms. Check them out here in the forums you wont be disappointed
I would post the link for ya but im on tapatalk sorry

virus rom? Sounds wrong. Just the title I hope.
Check on Bnice's port of the MIUI rom (Chinese based) Be ready to read, it's a fast moving thread. I've been on it since v1.08??? and it is getting amazing. Way diffrent then any sense rom and it looks like the theming is getting ready to pop.
First time around, I would download ROM Manager from the market. It has alot of popular roms available to download and flash right in it. After you get a little more familiar, and see what one is like, you can go ahead and branch out. AOSP Roms (Cyanogen, MIUI) are great, but you may feel more comofortable with a stock ROM first.
If you want to play around with your current rom just mess around with Launcherpro. Amazing what a custom dock and icons can do to spice things up.
I second that Virus roms are good , battery life is good and they are smooth. A rooted evo can be customized in anyway you can think of. I change something on mine everyday. Congrats on joining the darkside!

I'll admit I was put off by Virus rom's title, but it's actually quite nice. I haven't run it in about a month, though.
If you don't need 4g, try out cyanogen or MIUI. If you need 4G, there are tons of sense based roms available. I personally like Myn's rom. But I also like Fresh & Frost.
I flash roms like they're going out of style & every new rom or new update brings at least an hour of excitement to my day even if I don't care for the rom. Try 'em all, dude.

Best thing to do is flash flash flash till you find something you like fresh roms are as close to stock as a modded rom can get personally I don't care for asop roms but to each their own. Myn is releasing rls3 tonight I'm on the beta version and this rom is beautiful, ava has a good one and calk too. A far as themes go you can use a pre made like riptides or flash a few options out of several to get what you want the only thing that holds you back is your own imagination so have fun and flash.

I completely agree. I first rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 and soon after started messing around with launchers (adw is beast imo) and themes. Then I quickly got bored and decided to use Rom manager and start flashing roms. But once you do that it is trial and error with the roms till you find the one you like. Keep searching the forum to find one that you think you will like and read the posts so that you are aware of problems that some roms have.

Is there a non-sense rom with working ziimote AND hdmi?
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 everyone!
I'll be honest; my phone has been running sprint lovers rom since late december last year and it works great. Since then, I haven't really looked at the scene or any developments (same with android). However, I started getting prompted about the OTA update, so I figure its time to look at a new custom ROM. Sadly sprint lovers no longer appears to be updated - I liked it because everything just worked.
I have the following requirements: All phone features need to work.
So, I found the AllianceROM, from what I can tell everything works with the rom. Are there any other roms I may want to look at? Will my nand unlock and root work? Most of the rom installers say to run the latest version of autoroot - is that really necessary?
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your input!!
kingsrom alliance is great also hyrbids sense 3.0 themed all sense 3.0 rom's are Good but have horrible battery life cuz of no custom kernels because HTC hasn't released the kernel source

Hello there, friend.
The previous posts have everything pretty much nailed down... but there's a few thinks I have to add.
As a Newbie that I am, I have been flashing nonstop, trying many roms.
Basically and on a quick run-down of what I remember right now..:
If you want your phone to look Apple-ish, try MIUI. not everything works, or you have to jump through hoops to get it to work. Personally, not my cup of tea, but it's light (sizewise) and quick. Too many bugs, tho.
Cyanogen is the standard AOSP (Open Source) ROM. I didn't like it that much. With it, I found I am a Sense guy. Still a little buggy but 4G works (a big downfall in many AOSP ROMS).
Virus' Kingdom REVOlution is a great Sense 3.0 ROM. MY pet peeves with it are: Browser force closes (FC) and no spanish dictionary for touch input. I am bi-lingual so I NEED this. This ROM has a carrousel (sp) home window and it REALLY LOOKS NICE. It's a battery hog, but you will get that with sense 3.0 roms and 2.1 with 3.0 elements pushed into it. It's the price you pay for nice eye-candy. If you get this ROM, make sure you partition your card as directed in one of their thousands of posts. Search will do you well here. This is because the ROM occupies a lot of space in your phone and as you install apps, you will eventually be left with very low memory for your other tasks.
Mik's ROMS are very solid, but I simply don't like the way they look. Truth is, I can't be simpler than this. If you make a ROM, make it look nice. The idea behind rooting, for many, is to be able to use the hotspot capabilities, but for many of us, looks also matter. Sometimes, a LOT.
Myn's ROMS, I define with just a simple phrase: ROCK SOLID.
* Warm Z is awesome. Landscape support for main screen, polished beautiful looks and great battery life make this a keeper... if you don't care about having 4G. Since this ROM is based off the Desire HD, it has no 4G support.
* Warm 2.2 is the most solid of them all. Everything works. Towards the end, I ran my battery close to 24 hrs with this mod and the Netarchy 4.3.4 (HAVS, aggressive yaddah plus whatever, I can't remember now) and had NO ISSUES AT ALL. It was a daily for more than 2 months. With some mods that Myn lists in that same page you can make it look even nicer.
STEEL ROMS are basically stock roms that have been tweaked to WORK, and that, they do, and they do it very well. As with these kinds of ROMS, expect heavy files (anywhere from 250 - 300 MB and maybe more).
I hope this has helped you a bit, friend. Happy wiping!
yeah and viperboys scripts are badass battery life savers
Here is the link to a ROM with sprintlover's base :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118063
Try Vaelpak's GB ROM: http://vaelek.com/index.php?/forum/47-vaelpak-gingerbread-aosp/?. I recently jumped into MIUI, and its very stable, contrary to what someone else said. CM7 may be the "standard," but Deck and Vaelpak are very good AOSP ROMs. Kernel-wise (for AOSP), I love the sz kernel and viperboy's uv scripts are great.
Hey all, could anyone help me out here, got my S2 two weeks ago and have been playing around with it ever since, it's rooted and all and I've tried CM7 which I thought was really cool but I decided to stick with something a little closer to stock since I kinda liked tw, so I'm now running VillainROM 3.0, the question is what themes are compatible with this rom? I don't really know what I should be looking for,I've tried searching but didnt find anything clear. My phone as it stands is running:
Droid ver 2.3.5
Baseband XXKI1
Kernel Ninphetamine 2.0.5
Build VillainROM 3.0.
Thanks in advance!
Just have a search through the forum you posted in, there's quite a few compatible with villain.
In my opinion the best theme can be found HERE
Searching for Villain in Themes and Apps didnt show many results, and I still dont know what I should be looking for to see if the theme is compatible with VillainROM, are themes usually built for a specific rom or do they usually work on different ones?
I'll give Clear Glass a try
If it doesn't day in the title have a look inside a thread and it should say in the OP. There I'd also a couple of universal themes around that should work on any tw based rom.
Hope this helps.
Now I think I'm starting to get it, even though it says my phone is KI1, seeing as VR3 is based off KI3 I can install any KI3 theme right? I just tested Vertmus' ICS Domination and everything seems to be working fine...
Hello all, this is my first post here as I am an Epic 4g user. However, I recently rooted my brothers evo and gave him his first custom ROM. He liked ICS so I put the latest AOKP build on his device.
Although he really likes it, it seems to freeze and soft reboot a little too much for his taste. So I am looking for a new ROM for him that doesnt have to be ICS, and doesnt have to be flashy or anything, it just needs to be stable and have everything work.
So basically my question is what ROM would you guys suggest for a newbie to the whole rooting/ROM thing. Sorry if this question has been asked alot, but I kind of need a current answer because I would prefer a newer ROM so it will continue to be updated/supported.
Thanks alot for any tips/advice I may get from you guys, have a great day.

I recommend mikg it is a sense 2.1 rom with sense 3.0 features. It has a lot of support and themes. Another would be classic by Tommytomatoe its sense 1.0 with a lot of tweaks and themes also. Now if your looking for a aosp rom I've heard good stuff about decks reloaded. I myself am running the latest Miui.us v4 rom and have no issues other then the obvious ics bugs

I am new to the whole Android world myself as of last Summer. So I am certainly not a ROM authority by any means. But, I have been actively been researching xda and flashing various ROMs since rooting my Evo.
The first ROM I flashed was Nitrous 1.3.3. I ran that ROM until the update to 1.3.5 came out and flashed that. I ran Nitrous for awhile but thought I would try some of the ROMs that I was seeing posted on goodandevo. I tried a MIUI ROM, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Cyanogen's ROMs, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Decks, ODLDub, etc., and went back to Nitrous.
There was certainly nothing wrong with these ROMs. I wanted to flash them. All of them appealed to me in some way and every time I walked through one of them it was obvious to me that the devs put eminence time and effort into them. But I go back every time. I am now running Nitrous 1.4.7 and love it. I have been able to chat with the developer when I have questions and was never painfully reminded of my noob state.
Nitrous is snappier then any others that I tried. Simple and clean too. With the custom Nitrous Kernel developed by ca1ne, it is perfect set for me. Certainly worth checking out.
thanks alot man, i appreciate you answering for me. I'll download it and give it a go.
Great! I would be interested to hear your reviews on any ROMs that you end up flashing.
Good luck!
