So here's my situation.
Saw that Google killed some apps today. Looked on my phone and sure enough I had two games (Chess and Falling Ball). Knowing that a factory reset from the phone settings wouldn't actually erase any rooting that these apps could have done, I decided to install the official HTC RUU. Tried to run it and got an error about the bootloader being incompatible. Tried a few things, but nothing made a difference.
Now I'm at a crossroads. I need to clear off this crap. I figured, ok, let's go ahead and root the phone and maybe even a custom ROM that way I'm sure any remnants of the app are gone. Problem is I haven't found an easy way to tell which ROMs are good, which ones aren't (by that I mean are stable and let me use wifi/bluetooth/gps without issues), and that allow me to use Exchange/activesync still.
I looked at Cyanogenmod, but they are telling my that wifi/bluetooth/gps don't work. I don't care if it has sense or not, but again, I need those things to work as well as exchange.
If all else fails I'll go back to the stock firmware, but I need to be sure that I've cleared off any changes these apps may have caused. Thanks.
Flash virtuous rom, its nearly 100% stock, but rooted, very stable.
Ya gotta root first tho.

Skyraider Sense is a very stable rom too. Just throwing some options out there for you.

Incredibly Reengineered is awesome. apparently theres an issue with MMS with wifi on or something but I haven't experienced it yet.. Other than that my bluetooth wifi and gps all work flawlessly and super fast. Virtuous is good if you want your phone pretty much stock. Depends on preference.
Most ROMS have a buglist somewhere in the original post that says what the issues are. Cyanogenmod 6.1 is very stable, but it's AOSP not sense.
Many AOSP ROM's lack solid stability, so if I were you I'd try sticking with Sense based ROM's at first- and if you want to venture out a little further then there are some pretty sweet AOSP ROM's that are for the most part quite stable.
I've been sticking with Sky Raider 3.5 for a while now, I've tried a few other ROM's but always came back to good 'ol SR3.5. It's speedy, great battery life, and a couple added features that are very nice to have.
As always, be absolutely sure you make a complete backup of your phone before ever starting to flash anything. Also make sure you read through your ROM thread thoroughly so you won't run into any problems.
As most have said SkyRaider 3.5 is a great first Rom to start with. It was my first. I've since moved to Warm 2.2, and for the most part it is stable and I've had no problems. I really want to move to Warm Z though and test out the new Sense 2.0.
Definitely root. You will be missing out if you don't.

A previous user posted that the AOSP ROM's tend to have stability issues? I haven't experienced this and to be honest, my favorite ROM used to be Mynn's Warm... LOVED IT!!! That is until I went to CM7 (currently running #11).
Can't go wrong with Skyraider 3.5 or Mynn's Warm. If you want to go with the gingerbread ROM then CM7 has worked VERY well for me.
Good luck !!!

I'm hooked in Incredibly Re-engineered as well. It's gone through several revisions and Chingy051 is very responsive and quick to remedy issues. Also, he's got heaps of mods for his ROM. Once you get used to a 4x5 screen, you won't want to ever go back to 4x4. He also has a new one, Incredibly Re-engineered Z v1.0. It's new, haven't tried it, but its based on the Warm Z ROM.

give another vote for skyraider sense 3.5. that was the only rom that i used until making the switch to cm7. everything you said that you need you should have no trouble getting to work with either of these roms. as was also mentioned previously make sure you look at the known issues lists for each rom you decide to check out, which should be located in each respective op.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up going with Cyanogenmod7 RC2 afterall. Android 2.3.3 and everything works perfectly as far as I've been able to tell. Better battery life too it seems. Thanks again for the suggestions. I may try a few of them so that I can get a feel for each.

BYUsinger84 did you do anything special in flashing Cyanogenmod7 RC2 or did you just do a factory reset , wipe , cache wipe . then flash .
Good choice with CM7. I flash the nightlies whenever they're released and have yet to have a single problem. It's surprising stable and functional.
Skyraider Sense was my first ROM as well, and I loved it, but I could never get rid of CM7 now. It's just got everything I could want and more.
What kernel are you running? Try out chad's incredikernel, it's rock solid, very quick and great battery life. Good upgrade from stock, at least for me. Give it a try, Nandroid first and you'll have nothing to lose.

I actually installed RC1 and then RC2 came out, but yes that's how I flashed the first time. I did it all from the clockworkmod recovery screen. I tried to flash from the ROMManager but quickly learned, that doesn't work so well.
this is my first thread and first 2 weeks in the droid community so bare with me please haha. i recently rooted my Dinc. i want to try the cm7 rom but am not sure where to find the download. if someone could post a url for me that would be great. also suggestions on any other roms or tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have attempted using CM7 rc2 but was handsome issues. I will try again. Currently I am running uncommon sense. I really like this one. I flashed in incredikernel and love it. I did have to flash in an older clockwork to get it to flash however. I have also used raider Athena and swarm Z twopointwo. There are a lot of roms out there to choose from. I would search around and read the posts for each rom and see what you are looking for. There was a post on here with a list of roms. There is also a list of different content at theincrediblelist.com.
Have fun and welcome to the Droid community!
I really liked the reviews and look of the warm 2.2 and want to try it out but the tutorial I watched on how to install it didn't work. So I used rom manager and am currently cm7 and I'm having avfew issues but they could just be a lack of basic knowledge. I'm getting a lot of force closes. But luckily I took al the safety procedures I could and I have everything backed up. Except my contacts and things of that nature. Its kind of annoying haha. But anyways thank you for replying. I'm sure ill have some more questions up soon. Thanks again!
Incredibly Reengineered is the ROM you want. Fast with great battery life. Search the dev forums for it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah i've heard a lot about that rom. I want to try it and I will very soon. Thanks again
I'm using CM7 nightly 30 with zero issues at all. Works perfectly. Great battery life for my uses. Highly recommend.
I've been trying a lot of the cm7 versions and I'm getting a lot of force closes when I pull up just about any app. I haven't found a stable one for me yet. But it may be in just doing some things wrong. Not sure. Kinda going into this whole thing blind. Surprised I haven't damaged my phone yet truthfully. But also on cm7 rc2. It doesn't reboot at all. It tries but gets stuck at the load screen. I'm going to try the nightlies version tonight though.
You need to go into Rom Manager and do "Fix Permissions". This usually fixes all of my force closes after a new ROM. (and subsequent Titanium backup app restore )
So I did that and it force closed my entire phone and shut it down and it wouldn't reboot or turn back on at all. So I installed incredibly reengineered. Its the only rom I haven't had troubles with.

WarmZ 2.2 is a great rom. I've been using it for about two weeks. The RLS is really stable and is very quick. The nightlies are pretty clean too. Check it out.
I used CM7 for a while and got a little bored with it. For the past month or so I have been using Warm Z TwoPointTwo and absolutely LOVE it. Incubus is on top of the nightlys and has opened them up for us all to test. I personally am running the 3/31 nightly with no issues so far. I liked the sense ui and the sense icons and widgets and this ROM is based on Sense 2.0 so it has all kinds of nice goodies. I would give this ROM a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901822
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.

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.

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 was hearing a lot of talk about MIUI so I decided to check that out. It seems...interesting. I'm not sure how I like the removal of the app drawer (Maybe it's back in there now, the video I watched laying out the ROM was months and months old), but it could be worth checking out.
Still open to suggestions. I might end up wiping and flashing a few different ROMs just to get a feel for which I like best.

Synergy was a little boring for me, you're on an AOSP ROM now if you want a good Sense ROM try King's Alliance, lots of themes and such to try. I like EvolvedROM myself and am using the version 2.0. Very quick, nice visuals. If you liked Fresh try Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0
I'll check out Myn's as well. Also, I don't mind staying AOSP. I don't mind not having sense at all. I actually prefer ADW.

I agree that visually its not great, but there is a fantastic theme made by _Burst_ called plurstaralpha http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149482 that is significantly cool. I very much recommend the theme as I have tried very many roms and themes and this one for as incredibly stable as it is, looks EXCEEDINGLY cool.
I didn't really like MIUI. I then gave Synergy a shot next and I love it. I'm gonna stick with this! Thanks for the help, guys!
I'm sure you have already figured this out, but MIUI doesn't have an application drawer. You can put all items in a folder, and then dock the folder, but it doesn't have a dedicated drawer. It also doesn't contain 4G capabilities.
You were on an AOSP Rom, so I would advice Cyanogen, if you haven't already looked into it. I am currently running their nightly builds (I flash every time they have an update that intrigues me.) and they are working fine. I'm currently on 143 with no issues. GPS works fine, 4G is working, etc. The Rom is very quick, you can install a different launcher if you wish, but it comes with ADW stock. You can flash customer kernels/Ram optimization scripts to make it fly and contain perfect battery life. I also ran RC1 of CM7.1 and it was fine as well, no issues with any of the features. I prefer the nightlies simply because they add new features into it to "test" before they release them into a "stable" version.
I have no objections when it comes to Sense, except for the bloat that it has. My favorite Sense based Rom I ran on here at the moment would have to be Synergy RC2. It was fast and ran fine, however, HTC has yet to drop the source code for their kernel, so you are stuck with their stock one which provides contributes to the already mildly depressing battery life that Sense will give you.
All in all, there are plenty of awesome Roms on here. People can talk all day about why one Rom is their favorite or why they prefer it over another, it all comes down to personal preferences. I would run the suggested ones that seem to interest you and see which ones you like the best.
Hope I helped, even if it wasn't much.

Great post! You seem to know your stuff, mate. Well, as much as I love Synergy if the battery life isn't great, then I might have to give it the boot. As for the CM7 nightly builds...what exactly does that mean? Does it mean there will be a new ROM every night that I would have to download and then flash again? Or is it an automatic update that occurs? Or what?

They make a new build of the rom almost every night, adding new features and bug fixes to the rom. You can follow the change log, and download the new rom and flash whenever something interests you. You dont have to wipe data, you can just install over the existing rom without losing your settings, but always make a backup just in case.

Interesting. Glad to hear that about the data wipe, though. I'm going to have to look into this stuff. Thanks!
Actually, I have one last question! When installing the nightly, do I have to first install the stable version? Or can I just wipe everything and install the 87MB nightly. I ask because 87 megs just seems small for a ROM.

It's 87 Megs because it's Cyanogen. That is exactly why I don't like Sense, due to the "bloat" it gives the Rom. Synergy is about 290MB I believe, Cyanogen is 90MB. Lol the nightlies are the complete Rom, you can wipe and flash them. You don't have to install the stable version first.
Keep in mind, the nightlies do contain issues every once in a while. Like I stated previously, I am on 143 and it is running perfectly for me. I will update once they put an update out that gets me excited.
Edit - You may find this neat, if you like the Sense feel but are on Cyanogen.

I like ADW launcher the most, so I'll be stickin with that bad boy. It's default with CM7 IIRC? That should do it for me. I had no idea Sense took up so much space, though...that is ridiculous.
Since you've got no issues with 143 and have helped me out so much I'll start there if I decide to make the switch. Synergy has some reeally awesome features that I like, but I should be able to part with it if CM7 has it's own weapons. Gonna try to find some videos for it now.
Thanks for all the help, man!
I have been using Cyanogen since CM6 and I have gotten to a point where I absolutely hate it. My GPS is hit or miss (usually miss), and 90% of the time I get a call I end up missing it due to my screen not waking up. I wont even get started on the FC's
So I am on the hunt for another good rom, there is only a few things I'm looking for in a rom other than what stated above to be working. GB of course, not a fan of sense roms, and it has to look clean. I am admittedly very picky about how my ui looks, currently I am using the Matted blues theme, with ADW EX and I exclusively use the hidden panel with a wood dock look to it, and I use the Faenza icon theme.
Im open to any and all suggestions, even if it is a sense rom, just help with a link to a SBC kernel along with it, because I know nothing of sense kernels. And I'm even open to MIUI if its finally stable.
If you wana stay on AOSP, you could try decks rom [a cleaned up version of CM7], salvage mod [bare bone AOSP], or MIUI...AOSP with a twist. If you want a sense rom, I'd go with the synergy-kingdom sense 3.0 rom.
As for kernels, for AOSP, I strongly recommend the Tiamat kernel, along with the vipermod. PM if you need anything else.

I tried synergy kingdom, I was fairly impressed once I installed ADW. Sense 3.0 for me was like playing a PSX game, everytime I turned a corner there was a loading screen, lol. But I was unable to get it to look the way I like, I want as little white on the screen as possible, aside from text.
SavagedZen Mod was horrible for me, and It hasn't been updated from RC4 in months.
As far a MIUI goes I'm trying it again, even though on the front page of the site there is yet another thing broken with it.
I have also tried Vealpak's new AOSP GB ROM, it was ok. anybody have any experience themeing it?
EDIT:
As I type im doing a nandroid in RA about to mess with MIUI for a little bit, and then Im going to flash decks rom. I found the main forum for it, and your right allot of people seem to be going ape **** for it.

Deck's is fairly stab;e, so you shouldn't have any problems out of it. And well the sense 3.0 roms are monster, so it can 'sorta' be expected. if you wanted to try that, you could try the supercharger script to free up some memory. I stopped using savagedzen kernels months ago once they only went to sbc, went to Tiamat...never looking back. As for MIUI > http://romsmaster.miui.us/ Just scroll down to the evo, and you can get the latest rom. I haven'y used it, though to theme is fairly basic: you can download a theme, and flash it via theme manager, or flash it old school in recovery. You can download icon packs as well if you wanted to use them.

If you wana stay on AOSP, you could try decks rom [a cleaned up version of CM7], salvage mod [bare bone AOSP], or MIUI...AOSP with a twist. If you want a sense rom, I'd go with the synergy-kingdom sense 3.0 rom.
As for kernels, for AOSP, I strongly recommend the Tiamat kernel, along with the vipermod. PM if you need anything else.

This.
I just went from CM over to MIUI. I love the UI, and battery life seems to be really good.
No 4G though, but I never use it, so meh.
+1 for deck. I'm on latest build but would recommend going with 1.21 build, tiamat 4.06+SBC, and vipermod. I get some wake locks with 1.3d n would back 2 1.21 but don't feel like reloading everything.

LOL @ people recommending Deck's after the OP says that he hates CM7. C'mon guys, I like Deck's too but it's almost completely CM7 based. Give SalvageMod a shot.
Ive been trying this rom for a good while now. its a combination of aosp rom and htc sense. the rom is clean and quick. I recommend it!!

Exactly, beat me to it.
Try Miui, salvagemod, or Vaeleks GB aosp

Never said they hated deck's , just that CM7 had been giving them issues.

go slap launcher 2 on it
He also mentioned trying to escape CM6, not CM7 so his problems may be solved already.
Get bootloader and try every ROM listed so far in this thread is my advice. I just added Decks 1.3d to slot 4 out of respect for the above Italian.

Lawlz, I personally like launcher pro, epicness enough for moi
And how is the boot manager app? I hear a lot of people half problems, but just as many say its workign well...about 50/50 and you didn't have to load up deck's rom on my behalf. .
Best app ever. Worth a shot.
Decks is nice except for the random market fc's I just started to get. Still not as good as salvagemod.

I am SO glad you posted this thread (so - thanks).
I, too, and looking to get away from CM as I have used it for a very long time and, identically to you I am having serious issues with the GPS and the screen not waking up.
I'm gonna try both Decks & MUIU tonight and see which I like best. My friend at work as MUIU and the only complaint I've had with it is the way it mimics iOS. I hate apple and don't know if that'll be a deal-breaker for me, but here we go!
I suppose I could have just 'thanked' your post since I didn't have any valuable info, just wanted to let you know you aren't the only one experiencing those EXACT issues w/ CM.

once you get into the settings and launcher options of MIUI, you will quickly realize it is NOT ios4. just download and change the theme, load a different launcher, and you will be very happy minus 4G.
