How can I make my phone faster without losing features?

I just started flashing but it seems with all these roms something is wrong. I really just like the roms for the speed. But everyone has cons like no front camera on Miui or no mms just random things. Does Cm6 have anything like cons?

Well as far a CM no 4g or hdmi. But I've used Cm, MIUI, Fresh, Myns, ect... found out I really like having sense based...for now. With sense based you can easily update pri's and prl's and access all the phone ## codes unlike an aosp rom . And you can still use 4g and hdmi and such, pretty much everything that comes included with stock but enhanced. If you havent tried Myn's, give it a shot, I think its pretty zippy also your kernel can play alot in the speed of your phone. Hope something in that mess of words helps.
Edit: also thought i'd add, I use Myn's Sense Based rom but use Launcher Pro Plus instead of stock rosie launcher. I find it much more customizable and better looking, imo.

Thanks a lot. Sorry im really new to all this but what's a kernal? Like in normal words what's it do? And do they take away hdmi 4g camera or anything?

As of now all sense roms (myns,fresh,mikfroyo, etc.) Have everything working. The camer,camcorder,4g,hdmi....everything works. They just remove bloatware and speed up there system. And most come with bonuses like usb tethering. Stick to those and youll have everything you want. And yes the kernels are what make everything work. Once aosp kernels support 4g,camera etc. then they can make it work in there aosp rom (cyan,miui). The best way to describe kernels is....the kernel is the motor in your car. Some are v8s that are fast but use more fuel(battery). Some are v6s right. Some kernels (motors) wont run well in your car(phone) some will work awesome...
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76

Also, every phone is different. Not every Rom will act exactly the same, nor every kernel...you kinda hafta flash for yourself and see which works best. For me, mikfroyo is the fastest sense-based Rom I have used, for you Myn's or vaelpak or something else may work best, you'll just hafta flash and see.

Also depending on where you live and what you use your phone for plays a factor. I like MIUI or Cyanogen because of the awesome features AND I don't really have a need for 4g or HDMI.
I've recently used Myn's 2.2 and Fresh 3.5 for long periods of time. Both are EXTREMELY reliable and stable, and I think they would work fine with any phone. Like r.storm85 mentions, it comes down to a good kernel that will work well on your phone. All phones are different. For example, my phone somehow keeps rebooting with a "Fresh rom/KingKlick #10 and up kernel" combo.
So find something that works for you. Also remember, it takes a few days for your phone, rom, and kernel to start working together, so don't give up on something only after a few hours.

Think of the kernel as the heart of the operating system. It's the base of the OS that everything else is built off of. Modified kernels offer many different options. Some allow you to underclock to conserve battery life, others allow you to overclock to squeeze even more power out of that snapdragon processor, and some others allow you to change and modify options that were unalterable or hidden in the stock kernel (like cyanogen allowing you to force your phone to roam only).
Just as with anything there are pro's and cons to all the different mods. Just do a lot of reading (sounds like you already have a good start) and testing with the different kernels and roms out there. Some combos work great together, some just don't play well with one another at all. Eventually you will find one that suits you, and tinkering is what makes the android platform so amazing. Have fun, flash safe, and always always make good nandroid backups.

What?

Fresh or sprint lovers?

I don't know which to use I only care about battery life lol all roms feel the same to me, I would use sprint lovers but I don't want it to have the notification power control, anyone know how to use it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Wow...Is there a question in there?

All the ROM's feel the same to you? Try Warm or Cyanogen. Best ROM's ever.

not quite sure what you are asking here... i'll be vague as well... use which ever ROM you try out that you like the best

try vaelpak rom, www.vaelek.com , you won't find better dev. support
even has a special settings app for it in the market for free called vaelpak settings check out the screen shots in market

Best battery life and the best rom is MIUI, hands down
If you want sense then mikfroyo is the way to go

If you are only looking at those 2 roms i would say fresh. You say you dont want notification bar power controls.... almost every custom rom now has this.
Calk's Evio rom does have a mod that you can flash to remove it. It probably will work for any sense rom but i would nand droid first since this is untested. Additionally if the rom you use is themed it will likely remove the theme. Personally i am a fan of Evio and The New Koni's Elite Rom is out standing. Almost all sense roms are going to feel the same the fact is they are built off the same base. The only real difference is tweaks made for performance and the theme they put on. The tweaks wont visibly see they are behind the scenes the theme you will.
your last option is to read the post on how to modify the framework to get the notification bar work in reverse and remove it yourself.

I would totally disagree with that statement.
I for one love having an app drawer instead home screens with blank spots, and 100% working bluetooth, and receiving MMS, and using HDMI...but then again that is just me.
MIUI is a new and exciting concept, and every release they put out i flash it on my phone until i realize that it's still broken to the point that i don't want to use it anymore (usually 1 day), and then i flash back to FRESH or some other sense rom with a SBC kernel.
Oh and working USB tether is a MUST for me! Which MIUI does NOT do...at least not with WinXP machines.

I agree MIUI is a very different rom but i would not go so far as saying it is the best rom. In fact i dont think anyone can say what the best rom is because it is all personal preference.
Personally i didnt like MIUI

i totally agree. i need to start cooking roms. cuz every rom i try, even stock i have something visual or performance wise wrong. but i did enjoy fresh over sprint lovers fyi

K thanks guys sprint lovers wouldn't boot up

Whoa, all roms feel the same to you? I'm almost blown away by this comment. How long have you been using the Evo and messing with roms?
I agree with someone else here, MIUI is my favorite. Ava has my favorite sense rom.

God, so many great ROMs! I have a small selection that I put on my phone and those that I root for others.
My preferred custom Sense ROMs (not necessarily better or worse than any others) are EViO and Azrael, each slightly different but both great. Using EViO tonight.
Preferred Stock-ish ROM would be StockTurbo. Perfect for people like my wife!
Sense/AOSP tween ROM is Vaelpak..am excellent, very eccentric ROM.
Current fav AOSP, and what's backup up in my nandroid folder, is KingsROM Ultra Blue HAZE GBv10. I know, its a GB ROM, but I haven't had any issues with it, I haven't found anything that didn't work, and damn I love the GB cursor finger in text input fields!
This probably doesn't help anyone, but thank you for your time anyway.

[Q] Best 2.3 ROM with 4G, Camera, LocServ, and The Other Bells & Whistles Working

OK, I've successfully rooted my beloved EVO... Now, it's time to consider a new, stable, BATTERY-EFFICIENT Gingerbread ROM; one that has WiMax, Camera (both), and Location Services running, along with basic 3G of course...
I like Sense, but I can live without it so that's not an impediment.
If you're asking why Gingerbread, well, I'd like to be cutting edge , with support for millions of colors (as I understand the Novatec screen on my 0003 Evo can handle it), and with some of the security vulnerabilities of pre 2.2.2 Android patched up.
The main things are:
1. Stability
2. WiMax and improved 3G (if possible)
3. Battery life improvements
4. Theming ability
I'm, frankly, bewildered by the options, so I'd like real-life experience and suggestions so I can narrow down my options.
Assists are appreciated...

Try cm7 it's the most stable fastest gingerbread rom
Sent from cm7 jealous!!!!!!Mines COOLER

I don't think there are any 2.3 sense roms yet. From what I understand, the only gingerbread rom that supports wimax at all is CM7 nightlies and even that is a little spotty. I think you're just going to have to wait a bit longer for all that in one rom.

I'm leaning towards CM7...
There are no Sense ROMS that are based on 2.3? It's not a big deal, but I was hoping there were, and I missed it (to add more competition).

CM7 is great, definitely worth a shot

Nope no sense based gb roms yet. Your best bets are CM7 newest nightly or, if you're willing to venture away from xda, Ultimate Droid.

CM7, no questions asked. If you want an alternative, Salvage mod has MOAR GEEZ as well, but no personal experience with it.

Get launcher pro plus. It has the good "sense-like" widgets.

Google searching it also helps. But yes, love the widgets. Also if you want a "sense" like weather/clock, check out fancy widget.

This is EXACTLY the kind of advice I was seeking...
Damn, I'm really starting to love this place.

the only problem with CM7 that i had was that the wifi tether app doesn't work.

But hotspots does.
Sent from my Evo that can't see the Apple orchard with its big wall.

With the exception of an early GPS problem CM7 is stable and many people are reporting faster connection speeds too.

Not a problem because it has a hotspot built into the rom. No need for wirless tether.

I have no issues using wireless tether on CM7
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Seems like CM7 is where I might start.
Is there any particular nightly of CM7 that I should DL?

11 and 12 are a little buggy but work great for me on android 2.3.3. Anything after 6 is wimax and 2.3.2 before 6 is no wimax. Try 12 and try both savage Zen and tiamat kernels in it. both are great.

CM7 has built in wireless and usb tether, both work great. CM7 RC2 is very stable and very smooth. I use launcher pro plus and have zero complaints. Great rom with excellent functionality.

[Q] Synergy vs. MikG sense 2.1 +3.0 roms

Has anybody run both of these? Which do you find better? I am a huge myn/virus fan so Synergy appeals to me, but I have only heard good things about roms beginning in "Mik". Any feedback is appreciate

I'm gonna flash Mik's this morning, so I'll be back to report on it, but there are a ton of threads where people talk about their experience with the ROM, like Mik's thread in the DEV section,

I was looking for a direct comparison...believe me I've been pouring over both threads. I think I'll go with Mik for right now (I have access to Myn donor site though) & maybe switch over in a few nightlies.

To be fair, we can't really compare until Synergy is finished & released.
Synergy is still in testing so if you want to contribute to the beta, give the nightlies a go & report back.
MikG 2.1+3.0 is pretty much complete, it feels like the update we should've got from Sprint/HTC.

Thanks I'll thank you when I get to a computer. & yeah I'll give a nightly a go in a few weeks. It should have surpassed MikG by that point haha

I've ran both and to be honest I can't choose between to two. They both are great roms,MikG Rom really does feel like the one we should have received ota. But Synergy is pretty cool too even tho it is in beta stage I haven't experienced any bugs at all. Feels like a complete Rom ready for release.

To be honest maybe its just me but I don't notice any difference between the two. Both are fast smooth roms. Only thing different that I notice is Sprint Hotspot is unlocked 3G/4G on Synergy. I'll mess around with this Rom more and edit my post

I've always found mik creates stuff completely on par with myn. Miks new 2.1+3.0 is great I'm using it as my daily. That is untill synergy is done becuase I love myns work. overall neither is going to be better than the other. Only quirk I've noticed with miks is my music sometimes stops for a second then starts again.

I don't have Mik's on yet, but is it true there's no power widgets in the status bar pull down??
I pretty much rely on those throughout the day, switching GPS, WiFi, Data, etc on and off....
And yes, I know I can put widgets on my desktop, but I keep that clean.

MMS/SMS works great.
all widgets work great.
Lockscreen WORKS AMAZINGLY!!!!!!! i personally use the weather lockscreen.
come to think of it... only issue i had was trying to force close couple of things. but thats it.

I am more of a fan of mikg though

Alright so after using miks rom for a few days I've noticed a few things. The rom is very stable, but overall ui has its hiccups every now and then. My main problem with it us the rom has some problems with data connection (for me at least) however after switching to the latest synergy nightly im beginning to find its all around smoother and more responsive. no hiccups so far, and my data seems fine, hell my battery life is even better

I've tried both - so far I'm using MikG 1.02 as my daily driver. With the Synergy ROM, I installed both the 6/6 and 6/7 nightlies, but had a major problem with the market not working so I couldn't download TB and restore my apps...not sure what that was all about...granted they're still beta releases.

[Q] Good ROM for the Wife's EVO 4G (in which Video conferencing works - gtalk, etc)

I keep up with the forums for equipment I own and use (unfortunately, NOT so much on my wifes), but although I've read through many topics on this EVO 4G - my wife's phone, I'm still not completely sure which ROM to go with.
What would be a good ROM for my wife's Sprint EVO 4G? I have custom ROM's on all of my personal devices (phones and tablets) but I haven't done anything at all to hers and just realized that video doesn't work on her gtalk (among other things). Is there a good custom ROM (close to stock, that is rooted and has gtalk video working)?
Thanks in advance for the help, I'll keep reading through the forum in the meantime (I still haven't even rooted her EVO yet - although I've got her on CM7 for her B&N Nook Color and she loves it)!!

Cm7 works really well with evo4g and has 4g working. Looks like she might be used to it from nook so give it a try. If she wants she can also experiment with MikG which is a sense rom. IMO those have been greatness. Also Decks 1.3 is good, like Cm7 but he gets rid of the bloatware.
Don't forget to hit thanks

CM7 is very good though I did have some issues with stability for some reason. I now use the The EVO Classic Sense Redefined by tommytomatoe but use the version without Sense since I was never a big fan of the overlay.
Good luck

I never got skype working with CM7. I don't know about gtalk.
I am using Ice Cream Sense rom as a daily. 4G. skype works. better battery life than running CM7, in my experience. And of course GPS works too, which is borked half the time with CM7. If your wife uses google maps for anything (or everything), you probably want to be careful about breaking GPS.

Yes, she definitely uses google maps, so Thanks for the heads up! I may look into the ICS rom then. Do you know of anything that's 'not' working in ICS? Video works fine with Skype?

I installed MikG on my wife's EVO month's ago, and it's working well for her.
