Froyo or gb? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been hearing about the gb camera issues a lil bit. I don't use mine all that much but what's the problem with the camera? Also, is there any benefits to flashing a froyo rom and not use gb?

Froyo ROMS are extremely stable, everything works and the battery life, with the right kernel can be fantastic.
I recommend Koni Elite III. It's in the Dev section

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, nuff said there. Amazing battery life.

If it wasn't for MIUI I would go back, also use my Droid X keyboard, it was awesome.

Can't take nothing away from Myn or Mik... top notch super devs, but i like a little eye candy on my phone, and those guy have the plainest, most stock looking Roms out there.
Koni ftw

Never tried Mik or Koni so I wouldn't know, but MIUI has me content until I feel it necessary to upgrade to galaxy S 2 unless there is something better I don't know about.

Koni was unbeatable with NA 4.3.2 SBC. Good times

What's wrong with GB camera? My phone reboots every time I take a "detailed" picture.
Other than that, I prefer GB. It's pretty fast.

That was my experience with Synergy (non Godmode). That and terrible lag. I take 50-100 full-res pics/day on construction project and need a working camera.
Any suggestions for a GB rom that compares to Myn's 2.2? Stable and easy on the battery. I'm looking to start playing with this video chat thing and it seems that Froyo based ROMS are a non-starter.
I have an extra Evo I can flash to take 'em for a spin. Would love to give it a go..
Suggestions??

Tommy tomatoes 0.0.4 is beautifully reliable and battery is above average, specifically with freedom 0.9 aggressive kernel

Thanks,
I was just looking at that. It's on my download list.

Tommy is one of the best themers the Evo has ever seen. I'm sure his ROM is fabulous!

I lowered the ISO down to 200, and that seemed to fix my problem. But in any case, I've gotten the problems in Synergy as well as Mik (regardless of versions).
To be honest, I love Mik's rom's so much, I can deal with the camera issue for now. Battery life is amazing and performance is great. I use Lithid's kernel with Aggressive voltages and Interactive X govenor.
I'm waiting until Virus gets 4G implemented into his 3.5 Sense rom (in the changelog it says this might happen soon). I don't use 4G all the time, but I do like to have it "on demand" when I need and tether.

Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo, done! Close thread...lol
There are many Rom's that are good.
It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.
I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.
Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.
Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.
Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.
Vaekpak for minimal SENSE with 4g.
MIUI if 4g and MMS ever get resolved.

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1
The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.
That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.

Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?
J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....
Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.
I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.
Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....
You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.
I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

If you want something that looks different and works great.
I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.
As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

ROM Recommendations.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.
Shooter Evo 4G
Cm7 latest version with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernal. Can get 24 hours depending on usage.

Whats a good sense rom thats stable?i mean everything ive seen has somethin messed up like 4g,sms errors...multiple bugs.i need something stable,where u dont need to keep flashing back n forth.froyo gingerbread i dont care my main concerns are a smooth performance with optimal battery life,i possibly wanna put in an SBC kernel....

How about for myself.
I have my EVO flashed over to MetroPCS and currently have Metrodroid2.2 running on the phone. Would I be best to continue running with that ROM, or switching over to CM7.1 along with a patch from the Metrodroid thread for MMS?
What is best for me?

ChopSuey kernel is my personal preference

Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.
Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.

Yes, It's another one of these

I need a ROM that fulfills the following reqs:
Stable: Must be stable as this is for a non techie so... yeah
Fast: Better performance then the original ROM
Good battery life: This is a MUST
Clean: No crapware preinstalled
And preferably gingerbread although if froyo is better...
Thanks guys
For the best battery life and speed it will need to be froyo since devs don't have GB source to work with. I always like the Bonsai froyo ROMs. Google Bonsai android for their site. I am currently using Hurricane 1.6 Gingerbread Rom but you have to do some tricks to make it stable and keep it from rebooting randomly.

Exactly what i'm looking for also. Bump.
Yeah... That wont work.I need something that wont crash if you give it 8 espresso shots and wait a few hours.
So i need something stable.
Stick with froyo if you want the best chance at stability. Syndicate rom frozen 1.2 has always been old trusty for me and a lot of others. Be sure to flash a kernel immediately after the rom, as it does not include one. Urban regeneration is another good choice. You almost can't go wrong with any of the great froyo roms at this point. As kenny said, there are ways to make gb roms run fairly stable, but it takes a lot of effort.

You just read my mind. I was about to ask about syndicate ROM

Look into twilight and genocide kernel. There are a few others that will work well with it, I prefered genocide when I was running srf 1.2.

acs 1.2 and genocide 2.0
This pair works pretty well, phone feels snappier and nothing strange occuring after about a week or two of solid use - battery is maybe a bit better but I'm charging whenever I can.

While there are always more obscure others you might want to find... if you're looking for the best, you can start with the most popular. Check out the top threads on the development forum and see what people are saying.

Well, since he didn't want to shill his own rom.. i'll sing it's praises.. randomrom phoenix 2.2 is awesome. super snappy, no freezes or crashing and does above average on battery life.
Simply AOSP 4.01 is also super fast, and very slimmed down. There are a decent number of options for Froyo roms that you should be happy with..
SRF 1.2 is my "trusty old axe" too... I like Twilight Zone kernel. Isn't there a fix out for the SU Binary issue with Genocide 2.0? I haven't tried it yet.
You can't go wrong with anything by Computerkid23 or Random, either...

Best ROM?

I have been on a flashing marathon lately and would like to know what is the best ROM out right now? I would really prefer the best Sense 3.5 ROM but any will do. P.S. ICS ROM would be number 1 IF it had a working camera

for Sense 3.5, i like MikRunny 1.0.1.. non-Sense 3.5, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3. judging by all the praise these devs earned and their user's comments, imo, these are the cream of the crop and why i chose to use them. no comment on AOSP ROMs, i like my Sense like you do.
I'm also going through several trying to find what I'm the most happy with.
--I tried CM7.2. I wasn't thrilled with the performance and I missed Sense.
--I tried Energized but found too many bugs. I used it for a couple of days and the WiFi, clock, dock, and MMS had issues.
--I tried MikRunny but found it had serious lag. I don't think I ever installed any apps. I moved on to something else quickly.
--I've just installed Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4. The first thing I tried to do was OC to 1.21. It crashed. We will see what else happens.
RC Energized Blue is the best sense 3.5 rom imo. Ran SUPER smooth and battery was amazing.
I forgot about couple other things I didn't like about Energized. The battery only shows 20% blocks. That is too big for me. Also, it doesn't show the level when charging. It only shows it ad being completely dead.
Magnolia 2.1 Beta 4 is looking good so far. He says there is a new theme coming but I don't care about that.

In that same forum there was a mod for 3G and a blue stock battery, which gave 1-100%, not the 20% blocks.
My favorite ROM would be MikRunny. Runs amazing, and even better with the V6 Supercharger.

I'm not big on Sense, but my favorite of the ones I've tried is SkyRaider Zeus. Ran very quickly and seemed to fare on the better side in regards to battery life.

Rom camera opinion

Ok I know "what is the best *insert object here*" questions are shunned upon but I'm going to the Chicago auto show on Saturday and would like to know your opinion on which of these roms has the best camera/battery life out of the following.
1.classic evo v0.0.6
2.mikg 3.0
3.MIUI 1.12.9
4.decks 1.3
Sense will have anthrax and aosp have tiamat 3.3.7 or 4.1 still deciding.
So what do you guys think? Ill take sugestions for other rom's also
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I think MIUI 1.12.9 is the best Rom out of those with the best camera resolution and also considering that's the last stable MIUI Rom released it gives great battery life.

I haven't used an aosp ROM where I've been impressed with the camera. Its always been better on a sense ROM.
Same goes with music, and in some instances, colors. Sense has always taken better pics, sounded better, and looked better.
