Im new here and coming from the evo i wanted to know what was the best setup "rom + kernal" or is this phone like the evo which some roms and kernals worked goood on some but not all Thanks to anyone who chimes in with advice
I use Starburst Rom with Exp build of Lostkernel. Although all of the roms/kernel are good and work well. I like the AOSP rom because it has a nice ics them you can download on it.

Using starburst rom v1.9.5 and zedomax kernel v3. Its awsome!
I really like viper rom.
I would actually like a good enough answer to this too. But here's mine.
At first I used Zedomax v4.1 OC Kernal because I wanted the overclock. It worked extremely well.
Then I wanted a ROM, so I got Starburst and have used it since 1.8. The only real problems I have had with Starburst (currently using 1.9.5), are that I get a random reset of the phone that goes straight to the lockscreen (and has to scan media again, search for signal, and resets all my apps). That's actually my only real problem with it.
If anyone has any reasons another ROM is better than Starburst, please reply or message me.

Try setting the Lockscreen to none. I think there may be a bug with the Lock Mod that's included in Starburst. It may fix your reboot issue.

Yeah, he said put it on Rotary. But I dislike it. And I wanted the Android stock puzzle one, but I'll try rotary for now, and switch to none if it still happens.

I'm currently running ViperROM v2.2 and LOSKernelExp 1.0.0.8. ROM is super fast, battery life is great. Very impressed. Dev is very active on the forums and responsive to questions etc. Also ran Starburst for a bit. No complaints if you perfer stock.
The absolute best rom for this device is strongsteves odex rom. Chris's EL26 kernel is baked in. Very smooth, never an issue with L.O.S, and the guy updates like twice a week. Super dedicated...BY FAR THE BEST ROM!!! (I have run them all) I have two E4GT's. One is constantly playing with new roms, the other is full time strongsteve. Hope this helps
I was always preferable to calkulins. I still like it. but I am on blu kuban now. all I have to say is it runs freaken awesome with great battery life. I am also using the hitman rogue kernel because I wanted epic touch recovery goodness.
Calkulins with rogue kernal is the best in my opinion but most people will tell you to flash them all and decide I did

We are talking 2 different ballgames. Best odexed strongsteve's (even if you odex zip another ROM) Best deodexed Calkulin's and NoName (but I haven't tried the new bunch like maddoggin's and Rujelus, Phantom, etc. If strongsteve had multiple themes or colors of his ROM he would have a huge portion of the users but that's too much work for one person. I kid you not, I have flashed at least his last 12 builds and have NEVER had a reboot, force close or freeze. Now when you have a deodexed ROM and flash a theme, if you have a problem, how do you determine if it is the ROM or theme unless you ran the ROM as released for a while. Really, its all a matter of personal preference.

Rom Updater makes it is to stay up with changes
I have zero Problems
Fast
Great Battery Life
and the looks is Awesome
+ Blu Kuban is easily the best ICS Rom, both in stability and performance. I have had very few issues with the ROM and ROM Updater is awesome. Run it with Calk's Kernal for best performance IMHO.
As far as the best theme-ability, with good stability and performance, AOKP ROM is the best. Run it with the latest AOSP kernel.
Watch for the update tonight

ROM: Blazer ROM 3.2.1
Kernel: "Rogue" stock EL13 (Use TegraK to OC)
Theme: ICS "Extraterrestrial" 1.1
Calks ROM, rougue stock kernel, el26, sensation theme seems like the most stable combo for smoothness and battery..
Ics et theme looks sick, but not perfect yet
However there are soo many great combos that its hard to stock with one for more than a couple of days.
I have tried several different roms/themes. I would have to say Calkulin's Rom/kernel build is perfect. Probably the best one out there in my opinion! If you want a good theme on it, I would do Tiffs "Nothing But Honeycomb" theme. I like it alot.
The only thing I don't like, and this is nothing against someones theme, but I am tired of blue. I would love to see a theme that is red or green. I love Tiffs theme alot. Love the icons and everything. Just wish it was a different color. I'm on blue over kill. But since there really isn't alot of colors to choose from. Tiffs is by far the best. She did/does great work!
Venum's EL13 lean rom, with one of the stock el13 kernels has been running great for me. I'm using el26 modem/kernel with his el13 rom and its running great. The clear glass theme looks great as well. I've tried just about everything and it'd be down to:
Strongsteve's odexed rom(if you like the theme, because its pretty much set)
Calkulins rom with a stock repacked kernel(your choice, they're all good).
Or my fave, Venums rom.
Most any theme that works on calkulins will work on venums. Supposing they are based on the same release(ek02, el13 etc).
They are very similar in some regards, performance-wise I mean. They both rock.
Edit: and there's a few ICS themes in the theme section that work on both calks and venums

I've been running Sensation 2.0, nice fast ROM with no bloat. Slapped the new EL26 modem on it and call it a day.
Just upgraded my HTC EVO today (amazing deal at Sam's Club), already rooted it and am now looking for any ROM selection advice. Calkulin's seems pretty popular but all I really want is the IMO really ugly four main icons replaced (the phone, contacts, messaging, applications, icons), and to have tethering with 4g working. Calkulin's thumbnails seem to have the same stock icons, but maybe there are skins I'm not seeing? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
Calkulin and UnNamed roms are both really good and stable roms. I've used both of them on a daily basis. You can theme many of these roms just check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1285 . This thread will have a lot of themes that you can choose from. Good luck and have fun
I recommend calkulins rom with the ACS ice cream sandwich theme. Here's how mine looks.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Same here: Calkulin with ICS theme
Senzation or cakulin ROM + go laugher. You will have both the 4g tether and icon s to choose from. Go launcher gives you so much options for icons.

I personally like Blazer ROM the most so far. It's nice and smooth and is debloated. Plus it has No CIQ, which is something you really want to look for in a ROM, I believe Calkulin's has CIQ removed but I was only on Calkulin's for about a day and switched back to Blazer. Blazer v3.5 has an EXCELLENT stock feel to it but it has all the benefits of being a non stock ROM. I usually get about 24 hours of battery life running Blazer v3.6 (Which is ICS themed) and Tegrak to undervolt my CPU and keep it at 800MHz just like Calk's. Both Blazer ROM and Calkulin's ROM are excellent, I've just decided to stay with Blazer.
I use Blazer ROM and love it. Well I personally haven't tried Calk or unNamed but I plan on trying both. Blazer ROM though is really fast and the battery life is great. I recommend you check it out.
I suggest blazer all the way. currently using 3.5 even tho 3.7 is out the theme is better on 3.5
I personally use Calkulin's 2.8.1 stock with the gunslinger kernel flashed. Amazing battery life!
However, as has already been said, it's good to try multiple roms. It's a good way to learn about what you're doing, and to find what you like the best.

I have had really good luck with BLEND GOODNESS ROM. Battery life is ok on it, not as good as my old GB ROM. This ROM is good enough to be used as a daily driver.
Blend Goodness Rom is the best it had the best battery life. I use to use easy battery saver now I don't and it has some great features like beats audio and Sony bravia engine here is the link

Just for clarification the issue with the battery going from 65% to 15% wasn't because Calk's ROM was unstable it's an issue across all the leaks. The issue isn't so much that your battery is dying uber fast, it's an issue with the battery software (that tracks and reports your battery percentage) not being calibrated to the actual hardware/battery. Any time you install a new ROM you should allow for one to two full discharge and charging cycles before you get a real solid battery reporting. Unfortunately with the leaks coming out as fast as they are this hasn't been much of a reality...
As far as stable and awesome? I'm a big fan of the Miljzz's Goodness Blend. It's awesome! If you're going for more of a stock feel Calk's been cranking them out too.
EDIT: I heard that Venum's is pretty cool but I haven't tried it yet.
+1 to Blend! It's smooth and sexy.
I have been following "The ICS Goodness Blend" for a while now and it is MUCH more stable than when the first ICS leak came out. I have had no SOD on V1.9 yet.
I was say Venoms new ics rom bcuz its been running perfect...very good battery life for me and also Mijj rom as well...but im currently running Venoms and its excellent!!!
Mijjah Blend ICS ROM by far
Thanks guys. I will try your suggestions and see.

There are only two ics roms for our phone, aosp (cm9, miui) and Samsung (fb and fc based roms). Any other ROM is just a themed or scripted version of the previously mentioned and will have all the same bugs.

I'm rocking calukins 3.0 gb rom with the gunslinger 1.4.0 kernel. I've been changing up the modem with the new FD releases but for a while i used either EL13 EL29 or FC22 and with those three I was getting amazing battery life. Right now I'm running the same set up but with the FD05 modem and I'm getting a full day with 3 or more hours screen on time and it still has some juice when I plug it in at night. The GPS lock on FD05 can be funny so I'm going to be trying out FD10 and FD16 the next few days to see if the battery life is as good but better GPS lock. Speeds are amazing with the FD modems in my area, these latest modems are feeling very very solid! Good luck and happy flashing buddy

I'd definitely give this a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449023
Was on it for a long time, but I'm now on the ICS ROM from the same developer.
It has a bunch of flashable add-ons/mods, already themed, includes the Lockscreen settings, great battery life and very stable.
UnNamed was my favorite and I didn't want to switch until I gave that ROM a try. Needless to say I loved it and couldn't go to anything else because it had everything I was looking for in a ROM.
Blazer is my favorite with the sherbert theme.
And of course calkulin's !
They're very similar though. I'm sticking with blazer 4.1 until OTA ICS

i was running Caulkin's E4GT 3.0 ever since it came out and I loved it. I just recently flashed tFD19_v0.1.0 Rooted. Odexed to check out the whole ICS realm and I kinda like it. I'm still getting used to the interface and it's still missing the hotspot services, but I've been managing with wifi tether. This rom runs pretty smooth so far and I haven't seen any random restarts or errors. with tFD16 I was getting random pauses and apps closing, but so far this rom is running nicely. I have not encountered the notification problem that other people were talking about and with the FD19 modem, my connections are really stable and fast. The new tweaks on tFD19 actually greatly increase the battery life from tFD16 and it is so much faster than tFD16. Also included in this rom is the ICS launcher to run the ICS theme AND the twlauncher if you find the ICS launcher too new and confusing.

Another vote for StrongSteve's Blue Odexed. Fast, looks awesome, excellent support and great battery life. Can't wait to see Steve's ICS rom
Blazer all the way.
I know everyone in this community hates questions like this, so I apologize. I'm currently on Blazer's ICS rom and loving it, but was just wanting everyone else's input on what they like. I'm not asking which is the best, that isn't a thread like that, I just want to know what you guys are running.
I like Touchwiz based ROM's opposed to the AOSP style (Dunno why, I just appreciate the Samsung nonsense). I tried Blu Kuban but was having issues with it being sluggish, and I know it's not the ROM's fault, it was most likely the way I had the CPU settings tweaked, but I couldn't seem to get them right. I was also am not a huge fan of overly theme'd ROM's. I like the ICS blue in the status bar and things like that, but when EVERY app is theme'd, it gets old.
Anyways, what are you guys running? If you could post your Kernel as well, that would be much appreciated. :silly:

Does it run pretty smooth with that kernel? I'll try flashing that kernel on Blazer again tonight and see if I can configure it decently. I am on Agat's right now, and it's doing well.

On m6 I use the stock kernel times included, but have tried some of chris41gs kernels, however they broke a few things cuz i flashed them over an already set up rom instead of flashing them after a clean install, and the m6 I'm on has the internal and external SD locations switched around which confused the kernel and broke my SD storage so i went back to the stock kernel on this build til i decide to switch to another rom and do a clean install and start over from scratch
