I highly recommend viper rom! I get great battery and speed from the latest release. And I have no force closes at all.

The OP said he did not want to use odin and upgrade the modem.
But, I do agree that the latest viper rom is great. Using odin to upgrade the modem is not difficult and the epic is pretty much impossible to brick so I would encourage you to try upgrading your modem to dk28 and going with viper or bonsai. Both are great roms. If you don't like them it is easy to use odin to return to stock.

Yeah i agree, however viper has to much going on like the lock and unlock sounds get annoying afther a while but its still a good rom. Bonsai is probably the best rom I think super smooth and no f/c.

Syndicate rom is exactly what your looking for. No odin runs on Di18.

Oh my bad, I thought the DI18 viper rom was still available but I just checked and it isn't. So then my next opinion is Syndicate or Epic Experience.

If you're looking for a DI18 ROM, OP, just click the link in my signature.

If you want 2.1: Go with ACS rom
If you want 2.2: Go with midNIGHT, bonsai, or viper [in that order]
I was on midNIGHT for the longest and it is fast, stable, everything works! I'm currently on viper. I def like the rom. I find that the battery seems to drain faster than midNIGHT even though i'm getting about 9hrs on viper. Navigation is not working atm, but i'm sure it'll be fixed by the weekend.
That said, being a former hero owner, it may seem confusing and hard at first but its really not difficult at all... just read up and drop a reply, someone will be willing to help!

Hey man I came from a Hero and I felt really intimidated too. I actually thought I bricked my Epic first and then had to learn how to use ODIN. Its actually pretty sweet because as long as you can boot into "download mode" on your phone (the number 1 and power) you can restore back to stock via ODIN. I would suggest you take the time read up on how to use ODIN and flash the dk28 build with the modem. Just be aware that it can mess with GPS.
I finally have a ROM I like "Truley Epic Rebirth" its the only DK28 Rom that has a modified kernel that will give you full adb permissions. Every other Rom only gives you root permission via shell with is annoying if you do any font customizations or custom boot-screens etc...

Bonsai ROM definitely! 4G Sprint hotspot app works, nav, gps, no force closes. I'm running it with ADW on top and it's quite stable.

do as he says! if you don't want to upgrade to dk28 modem then syndicate ROM is def the way to go.. smoothest dkI18 rom out.

Flashing zips is easy with the epic. I say try em all and decide for yourself which one you like best. Load up your sd card and while watching your favorite tv show flash away until you find one you like. I will tell you this though, all of the 2.2 roms are based on the same kernel until we have an official source so there isn't a whole lot of difference. As far as appearance goes you can theme over any rom. Personally I'm running midnight rom with the emotionless beast theme but I change my rom out from time to time, one thing I don't change is my theme. Love the emo beast!

If you want to go to froyo then def. Bonsai. A new version is getting ready to be released and its fast and very stable.

[Q] Need help with a specific rom

Sorry for bothering you people as im not an expert here. I have an htc evo and was wondering what is the best or a good rom that still has 4g and has the latest android version cause i only have 2.2. And before putting the rom on the phone what should i do? thanks for your help?

there are many in the dev section that fit your req's. I have personally used both myn's and calk's and enjoyed them both.
As for the procedure, basically make sure you do a nand backup first and foremost. After that, wipe appropriately, meaning: system, data, and cache (both regular cache and dalvik)
Oh, and 2.2 is the best your gonna get if you want working wimax, until they integrate it into cyanogenmod.

I think all the Sense Roms have working 4g. Myns and MikFroyo are very good Roms. As far as gingerbread goes, I don't think there is a 2.3 Rom with working 4g. Before flashing a Rom, do a nandroid back up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

How would i do a nandroid back up and where would i get mikfroyo from

MikFroyo is in the development section, depending on if you are using Amon's recovery or clockwork the process for doing a nandroid back up is basically the same. Just boot into recovery, choose back up/ restore then back up. There is an HTC-evo channel on IRC on freenode.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I personally also use Calk's format all before flashing any new ROMs as well. You can find that zip in the development forum under the EViO 2 ROM.

uhhhhhhh pretty sure CM7 + WiMax has working 4G? It's only been available for like a month now and all...
least I would assume since, ya know, i am getting like 7 down on Gingerbread...maybe I just get super amazing 3G...hell what do I know? Maybe that little 4G symbol when I turn WiMax on is fake...

[Q] Kernel Manager Pro - How to Overclock

I was just wondering if it's advisable to use Kernel Manager to flash custom kernels to overclock and if so, which kernel is the most stable and suggested for use? If not, can someone redirect me to a overclocking guide? Thanks!

It all depends on which ROM you are using (sense based or aosp).

Depends on what rom you're running. I personally don't have a use for kernel manager as I just grab the zips and flash them in recovery. Kernel manager is a tool just like rom manager, both offer users friendly methods of flashing (kernels, roms) etc or as I would say (for the noobs lol). Id rather not use an app for something i am capable of doing myself in recovery. Not bashing it just saying I personally don't need it. What rom are you running?

I agree with ya on doing everything through recovery and grabbing your own zips.... but I remember when I first got my evo and rooted it, all this flashing, kernels, roms etc. was very intimidating (I'm a dopey chef and don't know tons about computers) and rom manager let me learn the ropes with out being scared I was going to turn my phone into a brick. I think rom manager and kernel manager (if that's what its called)are good for noobs. THEN..... when you get your feet wet and are confident with the whole thing.......GO XDA CRAZY!

I had no idea I could flash kernels through recovery too. But I'm on 2.3.3 (TMartinPPC EvoGingerSense v0.1).

Ahhhh, unless I missed something, I don't think any of the current Kernels play nice with the leaked update.

You are correct. No kernels yet for 2.3 sense but they do have some for 2.3 aosp. To flash a kernel in recovery just grab the zip place on sdcard like you would a rom, flash it, then wipe dalvik-cache, reboot and enjoy!

There's tons of 2.3 aosp roms out there. I use cm7 #39 with the tiamat 3.3.7 kernel or the savaged zen 2.0 kernel. Those are the main 2 kernels people run on 2.3 aosp. Savagez Zen also has their own aosp rom which includes more control of their SZ kernel.

So basically any 2.3 AOSP ROM can work with those two kernels? And those two kernels are the ones used for overclocking?

Correct! Cm7 has built in features that let you adjust your frequencies and governor settings; so does savagez zen. For the ones that don't just look for setcpu.

Best AOSP Rom?

Hi, I am not new to rooting and custom ROMs but it has been a while and the forum has so many roms that it is hard to decide which is the most stable.
Would you guys please recommend to me the best/most stable/most customizable(cyanogen) AOSP rom for this phone? Basically I'd want the best CM9 rom and hopefully CM10 once its stable.
Thanks

1. I believe the difference between the to sections is that Original development is for AOSP based roms while android development is for roms based of stock or leaked firmware. That being said i dont think that many people understand that when they post and it has been kind of a Cluster f.
2. Are you currently on the OTA? you will need to odin a kernel that has a working recovery with it. If youre going to another rom right away it may be easiest to odin EL26 cwm, then load into recovery and flash because this will install the kernel/recovery packaged in the rom.
3. Ive used AOKP some and its pretty nice but i am one that likes to stay with a rom that still has activity. That way if i have problem there may be a chance that it is going to get fixed. But if you are ok with a few problems here and there go ahead and test out CM10 or sbrissens AOSP.

2. I already flashed CM9. I used the mobile odin method in this link: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
I flashed the kernel and I got stuck on recovery and couldnt get back to my regular rom. I was just wanting to get a recovery then I mounted the storage and put CM9 and gapps and flashed away. Now im running CM9 and its flawless.

To clarify a misunderstanding that you have ROM's DO NOT contain CWM. CWM allows you to install ROM's. If you are running CM10 you must have by default CWM or equivalent like TWRP. Just look for your ROM of choice and install through CWM. Since you are looking for v20c I would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980541. However, HO! NO! also has one that is 100% stock plus there are several others that are available under development.
