have you tried the custome live wallpaper yet? i cant figure out how to do it.
Seems like a very nice and smooth rom. Launcher pro is supper smooth with the rom. Going to try kings aosp kernel. Stock kernel only allows over clock to 1.15, no 1.13 option, which is not stable for me.

It's apparently based off of CM6's source, then tweaked. I was going to post on here about it earlier today, but didn't have time.
I'm wondering if anyone can drop a compare/contrast of the different AOSP builds available for the DInc now.
I'm guessing here, but Ruby is as stock as you can get (until they change that), CM6 has some tweaks, UD has more tweaks and is built off CM6, and ShadowROM is built off CM6 and has tweaks.
Almost makes me wonder if someone should come along and pull them *all* together into some massive super-AOSP ROM... which from what ShadowROM's description reads, that's what they're trying to do.
I am trying this one right now...and looking that it has koush kernel, I suspect it also has the reboot/shut down issue... I really hope not. Personally, I don't care if they all pull together, or individually...but the reboot/shut down issue has been my biggest culprit on CM...and I depend on my phone. Ruby has been awesome...so if this one doesn't work out, I have something to fall back to.

Same here. I have to give up on AOSP roms for a while if I don't want to miss any calls while the phone reboots itself or goes into la la land. At least Redemption is very stable for me and good on the battery.
I can't wait to try this rom out. Does anyone know if it has the stock froyo launcher? Also mflops and radio would be nice.

TY Grikshanks for saving me on that one. AOSP vs. Sense-based ROMs and related discussion are starting to bug me. Especially when talking about AOSP kernels vs. Sense...
However, now that it's been mentioned, I did forget about IncredibleDoes' AOSP based ROMs. So thus far AOSP ROMs for the DInc are: ID's, CM's, UD/BD's, Ruby, and ShadowROM. I hope I'm not missing anything else... and UD/BD, CM, and Shadow are all based off each other. Ruby and ID are unique. Though I know all the devs talk to each other, I don't know the details on what is mutual or exclusive between them (ie if kernels are interchangeable).

Weird, I've been on 6.0.2, stock kernel with SetCPU settings as:
Screen off = 384/245 interactive priority 90
Temp > 40C = 768/128 conservative priority 85
Charging/full = 998/128 interactive priority 80
Batt < 25% = 691/128 conservative priority 50
And been doing fine throughout the day. No reboots on calls... only thing is that playing Parallel Kingdom sucks battery down pretty fast. Also makes the phone rather warm. But I've been on CM6 pretty much since it came out stable, skipped .01 and went straight to .02. Haven't tried Adrynalyne or KK's kernels yet.

From what I can tell looking at source code, it doesn't seem to be forked from anything. I'm guessing they pulled Launcher2 and modified the source as they see fit, so it's roughly based off stock froyo launcher. But I'm still learning how to play with source/github/etc.
I don't *think* any ROMs modify the radio. Are you asking what radio is required to use it? Personally I just use the newest leaked one, haven't had problems yet. And mflops should be similar to CM6's, as they share the stock kernel (and codebase).
Don't really know why people are so obsessive about benchmarks. Give it a try, if you don't like it because it's laggy or whatever, nandroid back. *shrug*

UD/CM/Shadowrom arent just "based off each other". Looking outside the scope of the incredible, Cyanogenmod is king of AOSP considering its support of multiple devices. Crystal Clear is starting to make its way out being that the incredible is their second device. most everyone knows the deal with UD, but i dont know a thing about shadowrom. in that respect, pretty much all of these roms are based off of CM, because all of these devs, including BlackDroid, consult with the CM team to create their roms, and some use parts of it. With that in mind, youll see that just about all of these roms use Koush's kernles from CM. Most AOSP built roms for a single device can swap kernels for the most part, since most of them dont really differentiate much in the OS anyways. The only real differences between these roms is mostly the optional built-in customizations they add in settings and the launchers they use out of the box, as well as whatever theme they add in sometimes if any. CM sets a good bar with full status/notification customizing from the settings menu, along with the performance, input, sound, display settings etc. Ruby sort of followed suit but swapped status bar customizing for other miscellaneous tweaks. BD just compiled a crap load of tweaks made by other people and combined them into his rom, yet it still lacks the status bar tweaking. Shadowrom seems to have fully incorporated it along with some of his own additions, but those didnt seem to work on my phone when trying them out. couldnt even see what was in the Misc. settings cus it FC'ed on me.
for the launcher used in shadowrom, yes it is the launcher from the Nexus. it looks like he smoothed it out quite a bit though.
the only roms that will upgrade your radio are those that come leaked from HTC themselves. No rom should "modify" your radio. if anyone has tried so and youre thinking about flashing it, dont.
FYI:

UD: Yes
Shadowrom: Yes
Ruby: No
Cm6 has some stuff in it forked from Ruby. I wouldn't say Cm6 is based off of Ruby because of that. Would you?
Ruby is its own project.
cm did not invent aosp, and have their own source tree.
Ruby does not use that tree.
1st big issue I see - it doesn't scan the built in memory for images or music. Not sure how the "three testers" they were using missed this one.
Been running this for 2 days now. I flashed Kings AOSP kernal over the one that came with this rom. Runs very smooth and stable. Only one small issues... couldnt update to newest version of google street view (newest version of google maps comes installed with this rom), and camcorder does not do 720p. Camera is 8mp though. Great stable rom. Quadrant scored in the 1400 range with no overclocking on king kernal. High 1500 range @ 1.15 ghz.

For those people having trouble with their 8gb internal memory being recognized, a great music player that someone else on this forum recommended called mortplayer recognizes all of my media that is on my internal memory and plays all my music without a flaw. Mortplayer is works great on ruby, CM6, and shadowrom, those being the only AOSP roms that I've tried so far! Just throwing it out there for anyone with media on the internal memory
I was just wondering what are the lightest (as in space), smoothest yet good looking roms out there.
Personally, can't go wrong with CM7. Xplod by Team Nocturnal, also AOSP, is a great rom. If you want small [as in space] then you will want AOSP, as sense roms are always bigger.
Yeah aosp for sure, salvagemod,cm like Roxx said etc. These are all pretty light rom's.

I personally love aosp aswell but everytime i flash one, my wimax doesnt go as fast as with sense roms... If it wasnt for that, id most def. Be on cm7

Try Deck and then flash the Savage Zen BFS HAVS kernel. The Rom is based on CM7 but with all the bling that CM ads removed. The savage zen kernel gave me disgustingly good battery life. The whole Rom as is, is under 80mb. Can't get much lighter than that. sz kernel should resolve your wimax speed issue too. I notice that 4G always seemed slower on CM's kernel (which is what most of the AOSP roms use, including Miui). SZ's kernel fixed a lot of little things like that.
O cool thnx man, does sz kernel support hdmi also?
You've got great information above. AOSP is always smaller, lighter. I'm using kushdeck's gingerbread-evo-deck 1.3d (GB v2.3.5), which is built on a solid Cyanogenmod base. It's technically still a beta of GB v2.3.5, but I have as yet to have any issue with it. Plus, if like me you like the stock Vicual Voice Mail, use the ed-gapps with vm. Note that CM did this first and has this available also.
Both the SZ and Tiamat kernels support HDMwIn, have sbc versions available, etc. I find that the latest Tiamat 4.0.8 kernel works the best for me overall but of course your phone may feel otherwise.
Oh, a nice trick if you have issues with Wifi, Wimax or GPS after flashing an AOSP ROM. Once your ROM is built, make a nand backup of it. Now, flash one of the rooted stock ROMs (I use virus's 453.651.1). Once its flashed and you boot up, immediately reboot into recovery and restore your backup of your favorite AOSP ROM. This works because some drivers (like the GPS driver) are or can be changed/updated during a flash, but are not during a restore.
This has fixed non-functioning & poorly functioning GPS for many (including me), fixed wifi issues for some, and a few say that it improved their wimax speeds. If you're experiencing any of those issues, it only costs a few minutes of your time to find out, but of course that's your decision.
Anyway, I hope that the info is useful. Thank you for your time.

viper has a few new features that the other roms dont have as of yet.
Viper and Starburst are stock roms that have been optimized and things like that.
Like I said viper has alot of new things (oc script, battery calibrating script, etc) but because its relatively new some of the mods arent working yet. Some of the themes arent compatible either.
Starburst is supported the most, so most of the mods and themes are based off of it.
My personal preference is Viper, when I was using starburst I was getting a ton of random reboots, where I get none with Viper. (have not tried the last starburst update)
Starburst does have all the mods already cooked in to it. Viper is quickly catching up though.
Both have great devs who try to respond to every issue and request. I think you should give them both a go
Stock rooted deodexed rom with LoSt kernel!

I would suggest using Stardust rom
Sent from my Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch
Starburst 1.8 stable is really good no random reboots
Lockscreen mod is awesome. Haven't tried viper yet.
I use the new aosp rom with the ICS theme that supposrts it. Works really well. Also I had starburst 1.8 and I think I liked that a lot better, probably because its more stock. I think the major roms on this phone; viper, starburst, aosp, and aemod roms all work very well.
I would suggest keeping it stock for a week just to make sure you're not getting goofy problems first. Then start having fun with roms.
That's more like it!
So far I ran Midnight, starB, and Viper. StarB seems to give the most for what I look for. I know on the EPIC, viper was pretty killer through EB13 so I will keep my eye on Viper for the Epic T. I was suprised by midnight...not what it use to be.
What is the best combo
Did you have any issues with FC's on either Starburst or Midnight ROM? I'd like to figure out the best combination of Kernel, CWM and ROM. There is a lot out there and would like to find a good combination.

Hi all,
I have been really upset with the choppy scrolling performance on our phone. It is a bug Supercurio found immediately upon using our phone and one sadly no dev has fully fixed yet.
Well, good news. I've been testing a ton of different ROMs and kernels and I have found that the Skyrocket kernels are PERFECTLY smooth in scrolling. Why? I do not know.
I tested Da_G's CM7 kernel with my T-mobile SGS2 and it worked. Now, not only did it work but it works perfectly. Everything works including data (4G), calls, etc. There is only 1 bug and that is because it is a Skyrocket kernel---Automatic orientation (if you turn it on) is exactly 90 degrees off. Easy fix though I think.
Other tested ROMS and Kernels:
Kernels:
Bullet (all versions)---very choppy but amazing on battery
Synergy (all versions)---very choppy but also really good on battery
Faux123's kernels---Newest version of Faux's kernel incorporates Skyrocket drivers and FIXES the 2D choppiness. Currently it is the only T989 kernel to be fully smooth
Mr.X CM7's kernel---choppy but amazing battery and 2D Quadrant scores (I got 760s with it)
Da_G's Skyrocket CM7 kernel---BUTTER smooth, everything except Auto-rotation works despite being a Skyrocket kernel
ROMS:
Stock 2.3.5---VERY choppy
Stock 2.3.6---Slightly less choppy but still pretty choppy
Juggernaut 4.0, 3.7, 3.5---ALL pretty choppy, 4.0 is likely the best since its based on 2.3.6
Beastmod 4.0, 4.2---ALL pretty choppy
Domination 2.0---EXTREMELY choppy...I don't know why even since it's 2.3.6 but my testing proved it was one of the worst in scrolling choppiness
CM7 by slayher (for T-Mo SGS2)--Butter at times and choppy at others.
CM7 for Skyrocket (Alpha 4)---Choppy if T989 kernel is used, BUTTER if Skyrocket kernel (Da_G's kernel) is used.
I believe ROMS have little effect on the choppiness. They do contribute a tiny amount but I do believe the kernels are what dictate whether scrolling is smooth or not.
Moral of the story, T-mo SGS2 Kernel devs, please either build from the source for Skyrocket or see what that kernel has that is different from ours because it is MUCH MUCH SMOOTHER than any of our kernels.

If you could port Da_G's kernel by incorporating a 90-degree Auto-rotation fix, it would be bomb. Everything else works and it is sooo smooth.
Would you mind linking to the exact kernel you used? I never use auto-rotate & I'm dying to get rid of this choppiness.
Certainly. Make sure you are running CM7 though.

Use the AT&T CM7 v4 version. Get into Clockwork, flash, and reboot. It doesn't have a boot logo, don't be alarmed.
I certainly am Which version did you use though, AT&T or Rogers?
AT&T like I said in my post above.

Hello fellow Colorado-an!
Just to clarify- the moral of your post is: using the Skyrocket's CM7 ROM & Da_G's Skyrocket kernel on the T989 you have 0 choppiness?
I'm just unsure of which ROM you're using (ours or Skyrocket's)
Thanks.
Correct. Use the Skyrocket CM7 or ours (doesn't matter but ours has more bugs. The Skyrocket CM7 with that kernel has NO bugs if you keep the GPS on).

Yep, true, somehow, GPS on our kernel keeps audio working and no bugs, dunno how, but don't ask me.
Also, the orientation thing is because our accelerometer is flipped upside down, that's why it flipped differently for you.
I'll ask Da_G if he can revert the fix he did in the kernel, then upload a version for you guys, since our kernels seem to work better for you.
Also, if someone doesn't mind, flash a T-Mo ROM, then a Skyrocket kernel (don't worry, I've flashed T-Mo SGS II kernels before, only thing that breaks is the rotation), and see if that fixes any 2D lag you have.
Wait- we can flash the skyrocket version of cm7? Like without modifying it of anything?
Hmm glad this ROM & kernel combo is working for you!
I myself have used several of the roms and kernels you mentioned also and have found that the stock rooted Telus T989D ROM by Mr X + the synergy kernel are not only the fastest imo, but I get 0 choppiness and almost 2 days of battery life on normal to heavy usage.

Let's see how the battery is on this tho. Jug 3.7 + bullet 2.9 was giving me amazinggg battery life but last night i went to sleep with it being 45% and woke up with 5% lol maybe the governor changed to performance or something idk
EDIT - After around 20 mins of use, I can confidently say that my phone is now BUUTTTEEERYYYY smooth I used to get lag/stutter during screen transitions and everything, now I'm using the Sphere effect on Go Launcher (one of the ones that usually cause the most stutter) and it couldn't be any more buttery smooth lol
Thanks for finding this The only issue is the auto-rotation but once that's fixed, this will be amazing lol

What I need is a ROM with working 4g, GPS and Camera
The phone is used for work.
I drive all over place, putting 100+ miles a day, so GPS is very important for me.
All my jobs are recieved via Google email.
I rather use 4g to pick my gps loc quickly and get load my emails quickly..
At the moment, I have to wait 3-5min for the email to be recieved and/or open to read. My GPS sometimes tells me, can not find my current location and it sucks. TIME is money in my line of work. Every wasteful minutes I can cut off = more money for me.
Camera and Video Recorder is another thing mandatory in my work. Uploading and sending it to corporate. Speed speed speed (4g)
During my drive time - I use my phone as a radio..
work hours - 10-12hrs a day.. so I need a rom that will benefit me the most.
I make alot of phone calls, alot of emailing, uploading pics and videos (short under 1min). I tend to stay on 4g as much as I can before I switch to 3g or turn it off during downtimes. I would like to have 4g on all day (10-12hr) before recharging. I do have a recharger in my car though, so I would say there is atleast 1-2hrs worth of charge time during my working hours.
I was told to check these 3 roms out but can't see what the difference are.
thank you in advance.
Well. I can only speak on Nitrous as I haven't tried the others. But I will say, if you aren't concerned about having the prettiest toy, its a great one. Very smooth. Expect a stock type of rom with alot of CPU speed tweaks baked in. Very similar to the stock in terms of what it gives you visually. Some nice little graphical changes but nothing impressive.
Its very good for what you are looking for. I never had a problem with the GPS. Battery life was about on par with stock. But I would recommend rom toolbox pro and under clocking the kernel .
I actually always keep this rom on my SD in case something happens crazy with the current one. That way I can always flash back to something minimalistic and stable. Give it a shot...
...I must let you know tho CM9 has been very stable for me as well and you get 4.0.4 opposed to Nitrous 2.3.5
CM9 is so far the best rom I've flashed so far. Only downside is battery life has been iffy at best.
Give MIUI from swiper a try also. 2.3.2 was very nice. Stay away from MIUI ICS builds. They've been quite buggy for me so far.
Hope that helps. GL
With less clutter here than your other thread, I will throw a loop:
Try Cyanogenmod 7.2 everything works nearly flawless. I use gps status app, and if you need more accuracy use galandy's gps fix (search for these).
You do need to flash gapps as well, for your google services. Just download the rom and gapps from cyanogenmod.com

I don't agree with trying 7.2 cynogenmod, a great rom, but wouldn't be good for your situation. 7.2 is a AOSP rom which doesn't give you the capability of updating your prl, which should be a priority if your traveling and on the go. Out of the three roms, synergy is outdated and the developers have moved on. Classic 0.1.0 is a optimized base rom that is strippped down and meant for performance. If you like a stock feel, definitely a good choice. Nitrous is a 1.0 sense rom that's very fast, would be my choice of the three. If you want my opinion, I wouldn't choose any of the three. Go with a senseless 1.0 rom, which has sense stripped out. This gives you more internal memory, faster speeds, and makes for a fast phone. Here's my choices based on the public's opinion of what is the best out right now for our EVO.
1. senseless - Alter RC2 rom
2. sense - tommytomatoes finale
3. AOSP - Deck's Reloaded
I simply flash 00001.prl by tecknowfile.
Prl's are fairly universal imo

Simple enough then, jump on the bandwagon and get Deck's Reloaded .44, definitely fastes rom on our evo at the moment, has working 4G, and all the google apps are inverted black to give a sexy sleek feel.
With even LESS clutter, read the threads and SEE what the differences are

Well. I can only speak on Nitrous as I haven't tried the others. But I will say, if you aren't concerned about having the prettiest toy, its a great one. Very smooth. Expect a stock type of rom with alot of CPU speed tweaks baked in. Very similar to the stock in terms of what it gives you visually. Some nice little graphical changes but nothing impressive.
Its very good for what you are looking for. I never had a problem with the GPS. Battery life was about on par with stock. But I would recommend rom toolbox pro and under clocking the kernel .
I actually always keep this rom on my SD in case something happens crazy with the current one. That way I can always flash back to something minimalistic and stable. Give it a shot...

this helped me out alot. also I thought AOSP doesnt have a working 4g or was it Cynmod
you have me intriqued with the senseless 1.0 rom. I could care less for bloat apps and other bs. So the less, the better. With that said, senseless 1.0 = senseless - Alter RC2 rom???

I've read each one of them, 2 of them doesnt tell me what kernel they are running and other the info that is stated, I have no idea what it means. It's not like I kept up with all the lingo and terms since I was here last time.
Last thing I remember was Gingerbread coming out.
Also, 1.5 yrs ago, each rom had a detail info of what they had. What apps they added, removed, etc... now not so much.
im slowly re-learning what is new in the evo 4g world.

4.04 is icecream sandwiched while 2.3.5 is gingerbread
Cm9 is based off ice cream sandwich(4.xx)
Cm7 is based off gingerbread (2.3x)
Tommy finale is based off gingerbread and so is any sense based Rom for the EVO. No ics for awhile
Miui has both an ice cream version and gingerbread version. You're going to have to search that. In order to over and underclock the CPU, you need a custom kernel. If you use tommys Rom (my current setup) I would use the underground kernel by ca1ne. ROM tool box will help with that. Or system tuner. Another good app
Here's the kernel thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570308

Sorry bud for the lack of a good explanation. These guys are all correct in directing you to the rom that would suit you best. Especially the last post. I was trying to say to stay away from miui ics for the time being. It's been quite buggy and laggy even with mason kernel compared to team dirts CM9. Mini is great and easy but stuck to a gingerbread base if you like it.

Senseless just means that Rosie is stripped out of the rom which takes up to much space and memory. Alter rom comes with Go Launcher Ex baked in as the launcher, but you can choose any launcher your comfortable with. The only reason why I recommend Alter rom is because it is the fastest/snappiest senseless rom available. Using a2sd, I was using less than 60 MB internal space. Great for gaming and battery life. Graynode is the developer and is releasing 1.0 later this week, but RC2 is worth it. Just to clarify, it is a 1.0 sense based rom, similar to what came stock on your Evo, but the Rosie and everything sense has been stripped out of it, hence the name "senseless".
