Best Rom as of 7/27

Hey guys im contemplating flashing Cyanogen onto my phone, seems like there are alot of issues with it.. If you have it installed was it worth it or no.. and if not what do you think of the EVio Rom?

Best is Baked Snacks or DamageControl

Me personally, I've been stuck like glue on cyans latest offerings and just today I ran calkins new rom and I loved it.
Still a DC fan but I got enough love in me for all my ladies.

It's really a matter of preference. I was running Fresh at 0.5.3, then wanted to try something different so i hopped over to DamageControl. As soon as CyanogenMod was released though i've been running his nightly builds & i love them. Best bet is to take a look through all of them & see what it offers that you might want.
Best ROMs

CM6 hands down. Have not flashed anything else after going Stock froyo. You can really tell Sense does slow down the OS. CM6 is only getting better.

I use the Cyanogen 6 RC and have no reservations. Yes, you have to do these fixes immediately after installing and you lose 4G, HDMI output, and the FM radio, but you gain tremendously in the areas of responsiveness and battery life. If you can tolerate the trade-offs, I recommend it wholeheartedly. I've never used EVio, though. (Oh, what a rhyme show!)

I appreciate it guys, are the fixes a big pain in the butt to flash?

The market fix takes a bit of time, but is a one shot deal and is only about half an hour.
I don't use Facebook so I skipped the other one. However, I can't imagine it being worse than the Market fix.

Wasn't the Market fix just a matter of removing the old apk, clearing the data, & loading the new one? If i remember it was only a few cmd's through adb ( very simple to do ).
Also, there's a post on the General board saying the FaceBook sync is fixed without using the "hacked" version.

I didn't remove the apk. All I did was clear data and force stop. Flashed over the fixed market zip

Are you sure the speedup is related to no-Sense, or is it just FroYo being faster than Eclair? I remember reading somewhere (Engadget?) that Sense slows it down very little, if at all. And FroYo, of course, focused on 5 things, one of them being SPEED.
I'm just not sure that 2.2 w/ Sense would be that much slower than 2.2 w/o Sense. I guess I could try Ava's thing, but I'd rather just wait for DC 3.5...

EViO
just flashed it today and so far I like it over baked snack

cyanogen for life!

Help me revert to a pre-froyo rom

Hey guys. i've had it with Froyo. i have a list of complaints, but that kind of post has been done too many times.
basically i'm wondering how to "downgrade" back to a 2.1 rom. i started with OMJ's 2.1 "eclair" rom and now i'm running his 2.2 froyoized rom. i'd like to revert back to the latter. can someone clue me in on how best to accomplish this?
thanks!

I should expect it to be as simple as clearing data/cache/davlik and flashing the rom you want to use.

Don't think you can but I'm not 100% sure Idk what problems ur having but 2.2. Has been a beast for me
from the apple store loling

That's what I assumed. i just wanted to make sure before i screw something up.
@SporkMan, basically it seems slower, the battery life is awful and recently, i've noticed the phone itself is HOTTER. i carry it in a holster on my belt and this morning(while in court) i had it on airplane mode without GPS, wifi, etc on and it went from 85% battery to 42% batter in less then two hours and was hotter then it gets when i charge it off the wall adapter. i've NEVER gotten that bad of battery life. not even before i rooted it. thats just unacceptable.
plus, i haven't seen the talked-about speed gains in the applications, so it doesn't really provide me with anything new(correction, there is one thing i absolutely LOVE and that is the mass update in the Market. that just rules!)

you'll probably get a bunch of suggested roms to try, but my vote goes to BakedSnack and his Bkaed1 kernel. Hero tweaks the kernels to give killer battery - I've been raving about it ever since I switched over. I used to have to struggle to get over 13 hours battery - now I get over 20, without setcpu. You should nand and try it. If you don't like it, you can always nand back.

right! forgot he fixed that when he hit version 4 - I stopped using his kernel around 3.7ish when i went with Baked1. Sorry for the mis-info!

I would have to agree with the others. I use Fresh 3.1.0.1 and run Netarchy's 4.0.2 kernel, and my phone has never been faster, smoother, nor have I ever had better battery life as I do now. I took my phone off of the charger at 8:00 AM today, surfed the net, answered a few phone calls, did emails and messages for a total screen on time of about two hours so far. I also did 15 minutes of FM radio, and half hour of streaming Pandora on the way to work, and my battery is at 76% at 2:00 PM.
The other thing you might consider is that, it wouldn't surprise me if in a few months, aps compatible with the evo running 2.1 won't even show up for you in the market any more. I may be wrong, but something to consider.

thats a good point. i hadn't thought of that.
Okay, i'm sticking with 2.2. i have to learn all about Baked Snack and figure out how to properly implement it.
@mikevillarroel i didn't realize netarchy had released a new version! i'm still rocking one of the 3 versions. sweeet!!

Thanks! the part i'm MOST confused about is when i download the latest Baked Snack rom from that thread in development i only get a 318kb file. every other rom i've downloaded has been 125mb +. i don't really know what thats about

If you're talking about 1.2.5, the reason its so small is because its not a Rom. Check my link again. You have to wipe and flash 1.2 first, then 1.2.5 over that without wiping, unless you want the themed version (which I highly recommend) in which case you wipe, flash 1.2, then 1.2 themed without wiping, then 1.2.5 themed without wiping. It sounds like more of a pita than it is, and its worth it in the end.

Edit- looks like hero just posted a new 1.3, so ignore my steps above and just wipe (dont forget dalvic) and install the 1.3 full version.

Just flashed MikFroyo 4.2........now my phone wont come on....wont charge and i cant get it to go into the white screen with the little androids on the skateboard........Can anyone help me or am i just a lost cause???

Do a battery pull, let it sit for a minute and try again. Otherwise, let it sit on the charger for a bit- your battery could be completely drained.

[Q] Do I need to upgrade my radio before updating my CM7 RC4 to the STABLE?

Well, as you can see in the title i'm wondering if I really need to update my radio (atm 26.03.02.26) to 26.04.02.17
The question is comming from the following comment:
Battery drain issue
Desire HD only: Older Radio have know issue which drain faster on asleep, 26.04.02.17 is higly recommended.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957336
I have no real battery problems and CM7 RC4 works great on my phone (props for the Cyanogen team!)
Note: I post the question her because I cannot post in the dev section. Too little posts and I'm not gonna post nonsense in other topics

battery drain isn't just dependant on which ROM you're running. Your operating network and band will also have an impact. Quite often what works for one user won't work as well for another. Upgrade to CM7 stable and see how you get on with battery life before you decide wether or not you want to install a new radio

Hi Mellow Jack
I have to agree with what Chogoria says, there is no one fit all Radio.
And you say:-

Help...PLEASEEEE!!

Ok, not sure where to post this but it has to be rom related or maybe kernel
this has been going on for a little while now and i cant figure out whats causing it..
it may be temp related but it has been doing it when the temp is normal too...
basically, it reboots and doesnt stop, i have to take the batt out and then it will reboot normal.
i tried different kernels and roms, they all have been doing it...
not sure if something is damaged like the batt or phone but im getting sick of it..
any ideas?
i got this evo when it came out, it was rooted from day one and i have been able to OC heavy at times..
im not over doing the OC since i know how much to push it there... the undervolt is fine.

How are you wiping in between roms? My wifes phone does that every once in a while. Usually a good wipe with Virusroms Superwipe does the trick.

HTC phones are very picky meaning that after flashing so many ROM's it can cause bad mtd blocks. Thus the phone does not let the it boot proper. I'm not saying that this is the problem but it could be one. If I were you I would try to flash a RUU and wait a couple days to see if the phone acts normal. If it does try to flash a ROM and see if it starts again, if it does then it may be a bad mtd block. You should do a log cat so we can see where and why the phone will randomly reboot.

Try virusrom's superwipe, and yes, try going back to stock for a while. But also, don't laugh off the people that tell you to post in the right section. This forum is way too cluttered already. Development forums in particular. Mistakes happen, but please read the rules at least once. Anyway, now you know--have fun here at XDA.

Like was stated above, try flashing back to STOCK and UNROOTED. If it still does it, take it to Sprint for a replacement since it'll be a hardware issue then.
