[Q] looking for an ultra-lightweight rom

what would you guys suggest? i mainly need battery life. all i would use it for is browsing the web, and listening to google music. 3g and wifi are a must and 4g would be great but not required.
i rarely use anything besides google music, power amp, and chandroid
suggestions?

Do you have a preference between AOSP and Sense?
AOSP - I'd give any of Decks ROMs a try here..
Sense - If light-weight is what you are looking for stay away from the new Sense 2.1 / 3.0 Ports.. MikFroyo is good here..
Hope this helps..

I'm using deck 1.2 and it seems pretty good on battery I'm running a tiamat kernel but I've heard that savagedzen is a lil better on battery life ... personally I haven't tried savagedzen cuz I don't like the SBC battery charging aspect of that kernel

im gonna give deck a try, thanks guys

Here Give this a try.
It's AOSP, about 88mb runs a tiamat sbc kernek, has working 3g and 4g. Lots of tweaks available and stable.
Very good battery life.
Flash the UD rom first, then the GPS fix and google apps (these are newer than the ones bundled with the rom) then the tiamat kernel. You can do them all together and as always wipe cache/dalvik and data first.
Enjoy

I'm using decks with sz kernel sbc and viperboys scipts
I also like miui

and for senseif you want sense 3.0/2.1 roms try out synergy or kingsrom
and for a normal sense 2.2 based roms try out myns warm 2.2 or konis

For lightweight, check my AOSP setup in my signature. The only difference is that I'm using the Godmode kernel, just testing it out and I'm liking it.

I'm not really sure. For me and a few people cyanogen was nothing but problems. Works for some and is a pain in the ass for others.
Just go back to decks. Decks is cyanogen mod with a few tweaks here and there to make it work better and have killer battery life. To turn decks into an exact replica of cyanogen just install the adw launcher app. Adw is the launcher built into cyanogen.
P.s. idk if you knew this but all themes and mods labeled for cm7 will work on decks (if that's why you went to it). 90% of the time anything labeled as a cm7 mod will work on any aosp since most of them are based off of cyanogens source.
I'm using decks 1.3 and tiamat 3.3.7 SBC and the battery life is crazy!

[Q] Best ROM for gaming?

I wonder, because I've always been into gaming on alot of consoles, so I'd like to play games on my EVO, but smoothly
Sent from my PC36100

About the best thing you can do is get a lightweight ROM, Overclock your custom kernel

R2R going green and download no frills app to overclock, whatever it is if its sense I strongly reccomend amon ra recovery and ChopSuey kernel

+10 This is the correct answer!!
Honestly any good aosp ROM.....decks, cm7, whatever. U should also give the savagedzen kernel a go. My handset seems to like it better, especially for intense graphic stuff......tiamat is still the standard though.

Thanks guise, should give them a try :3

i came into this thread, curious, since i've turned my evo into a media/game device and was wondering if there was a better setup than i'm currently using.
but apparently deck's 1.3 with tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and chainfire3d is... pretty hard to beat

I was not saying sense was better for gameing, I was saying if u are going to use sense that will work great on ALL levels, as in customization, speed, and simplicity...

Who's thread? I'm curious on how to use CF3D

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14091373
Chainfire3d basically replaces your opengl driver with his modified version. Download the app, open it up, and click install Chainfire3d drivers. In his thread he gives pretty detailed information on what each of the settings do.

Deck's AOSP Rom or Barnacles AOSP Rom are the best to try, they are as base as you can get (CM7 comes with ADW Launcher blah) And either kernels mentioned above but I use Tiamat.
Use setCPU to set up 'performance' governor and max speed of 1.19 anything in the 1.2 range and you risk freezing/crashing. It all depends on your phone tho so you're welcome to try out 1.2Ghz OC if your phone can handle that stable.
Chainfire isn't really required as I only use it in rare occasions. usually to play Tegra based games or to use it's OpenGL features to lower texture quality etc..
Only drawback to the AOSP roms I've found tho are that multi-touch can be a bit buggy, if you're pressing with one finger already then another to move the screen around in lets say an FPS game, it's very choppy whereas Sense roms are smooth (but it might just be phone specific) Another slight issue I've noticed in AOSP roms is they make poor use of the radio/wifi drivers, I get better signal/wifi reception on Sense based roms, but this was a topic for gaming so anyway.. I'm currently testing a recently released sense 1 official Evo OG rom for games and I'm actually impressed (using it with stock kernal no SetCPU) soon I will be trying out some kernels but if you hate AOSP you should give some of the custom OG Roms a try.

2 3 days o really???
last time i used cm7.2 unofficial it only last for 9hours....

Say no to Cm7 and Cm9. you cannot pass a day: with only modrate useage. and there are lots of bugs in both. Use Rom with Stock functions having root permissions.

Same here...with cm7.2 i have the best live on the battery..with music..10 cools a day and some min of playng games my battery last at least 3-4 days.
I use SmartAssV2...only

Yeahh... Only thing that you really can do to save your battery is to underclock your processor. The best setup in my opinion is: (But you can correct me)
*Main - 806 MAX - 245 MIN - SmartassV2
*Screen Off - 245 MAX - 122 MIN - Ondemand
*Temp > 49.5C - 320 MAX - 122 MIN - SmartassV2
*Charging - 806 MAX - 320 MIN - SmartassV2
*Battery < 16% - 672 MAX - 122 MIN - SmartassV2
Other thing is deep sleep which is on CM9 now but i have no experience on that.

Battery depends on your usage, your cpu freq, apps that running in background, and last thing i feel very draining my battery is mobile data. Try switch to 2g if you didn't need data to much.
Well for Rom I'm using phiex cm7 and my battery life is about 2 days for standard using and about 12 hours if I'm fully playing with my phone

lewa rom
I think you should try lewa rom.It has cm7 features,it is nicer,and has a better battery life

CyanogenMod 7.2 (unofficial) by KANG and phiexz is really great. the phone is really fast, stable and battery lasts a long time, more than ever before!
given that Android stock ROM 2.3.3 was a big improvement over 2.3.2, with 2.3.7 from CM7 and all of the neat things it adds, it just runs on steroids
very pleased =)

I am use the CyanogenMod 7.2 (unofficial) by KANG since RC1-b1 version, it wasn't great at that time, system obvious lag and I have to use the CPU profile 'smart.v2' on CM setting-performance, then I can't get pushed email anymore.
I installed the latest version of CyanogenMod 7.2 by KANG 20120325 this morning, it's works like a charm, no lag in default settings, really good battery time and stable. The only concern is the average available memory are about 60 MB when the Dell Voice, Hotmail, GMail running in the background.

I'm running Android Gingerbread 2.3.6(stock XXKTF) and optimized with the ROM Toolbox, and it works very well, I swore that I would never reinstall any custom ROMs because of those little bugs(data,wi-fi not working, crashes and many others). I've tried CyanogenMod 7.2, 9 and GioPro v1.6 and I've been disappointed.

I use cm7.2 and im having no problems with battry or unstable rom. I can use 1 battery 2-3 days, alwqys connected to wifi.

I've been using the "Particle ROM" on my GIO now for a while. So far, it's the most stable Custom ROM I've used, WIFI is fine, no obvious bugs and very good battery performance.

[Q] Phone tweeks on CM7.2 RC1

I'm currently running CM7.2 RC1 which runs amazingly and hardly uses any battery at all. Is anyone else using this ROM and tried installing Adrenaline Mod, Supercharged V6, or EXT4 all? I've tried but I haven't seen any performance increases after applying them. Does RC1 have them built in already?
Thanks!

If there is no performance improvements that you can see from installing the mods then I don't see a need to install the mods.
CM does not have any of the mods you listed. ext4 support has been added to the ramdisk of cm7 a few months back but it's not quite the same as the mod as it doesn't actually convert the filesystems like the mod does.

Do you use any of the mods? If you have, have you noticed any boots in performance?

I use ext4 and adrenaline. Ext4 is better internal memory management so no real user-end improvements, adrenaline has helped to speed things up for me. I feel like I can underclock a little bit more with it on.

What is your max clock now? Right now I'm down to stock speed again because I don't see a boost with being overclocked.

I found stock speeds (245/998) in setcpu or cm settings was best.
I hate to sound like a broken record but if you don't see an improvement with it being overclocked then the only other reason would be bragging about better benchmarks. Phone will run cooler at stock, more stable and probably better battery too.
And depending if you're running the kernel with cm7.2 or another kernel there are also governor settings to play with.

Thanks for your input! Now my only issue is how to check to see what is keeping my phone awake while the screen is off. Are there any apps or another way to check this? I'll attach a screenshot once I'm at a PC.
