Tried most all of those, absolutely love Warm 2.2

I love a few different roms, but I continue to either run CM7+WiMax, or CM6 + Wimax. Depends on if I am in a froyo or GB mood.

I tried using CM7 cause I wanted the the Ginger Slut experience but it didn't do anything for me. Couldn't get 3G to work, 4G didn't work, was able to change the skin once and then couldn't find out how to again afterward, it just didn't work for me.
SAC's HD port is pretty sharp too but when I tried it wasn't quite stable enough for me to use it as a daily, its probably much better by now though.
For now I'm sticking with my own version of stock ROM.

Myns 2.2 rls5, tried others really like this one so far.

Same, im using Netarchy's 4.3.2 cfs, more-havs kernel and I get 7-9 hours on very heavy use (50% is navigation and maps).
I like this rom over any rom i've used, I've used almost everything but miui, I want my phone to look like android os, not iOS.

i rocked myn's warm 2.2 for the longest time and still know that its a great ROM, (also used Caukulins Evio), but just recently got set up on the latest mikfroyo release with the blue theme and I'm loving it. also got my wife set up on it with the pink theme. we have a lot of great devs here in the evo community. everyone brings something to the table. thanks to you all!

Mikfroyo by a land slide......cm7 has potential but some bugs need to be sorted out
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I've tried a lot of ROMs. Ava, Myn, CM7, CM6, Sprint Lovers, MikFroyo. I just flashed MikFroyo and while it's still too early I'm enjoying what it offers.
I gave up trying to find the best battery life. I'm just swapping between 3 batteries and carrying around my charger. I dropped my Sero plan last July for this phone and I'm going to get my moneys worth damn it! lol

MikFroyo 4.4 for me. I get a bad feeling about 4.5, perhaps it was over tweaked, so I am waiting on 4.6. But I am not sure what the benefit would be since I haven't had any issues since going with 4.4

4.5 is great, but like they say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I've tried 4 different ROM's and Mikfroyo is by far my favorite with RLS5 coming in a very close 2nd.

MIUI is the way!
Well I just started using MIUI and I love it. I does not drain my Evo at all. Also I have CM6 but i prefer MIUI, but I hope to flash the newest update soon. MIUI 1.2.4. Its hella crisp and very customizable.
Check out the latest here bro!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527&highlight=MIUI

I've had CM7, Myn's, and MikFroyo.
Myn's was good for some time.... but I needed somemthing more.
MikFroyo was fast.. It was good.
Cm7 drained battery quite a bit.
I got Miui recently and love it. It's like Cyanogenmod (based off of it) with improvements in battery and UI. I didn't like the UI at first but it really grew on me and I can't see myself switching back soon.
But the insane battery life and speed keep me on Miui's ROM. For example, I lost 1% overnight on wifi. That's how it should be. Looove it.

Same place, same test - diferent results

Both rom with 4G (calkulin and UNleashed-Ultra_R2) but results difference is huge. Tested Koni rom and have great results just like with UNleashed-Ultra_R2.Why is that? (looks like calkulin 4G is 3G please prove me wrong) Flashed both rom several time back and fourth and here are my results. Just to add Calkulin its my favorite ROM, at least it was until now.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I am in the hinterlands so I do not know what 4G would be like, but I am skeptical it's not simply a result of traffic on your node.
If you are flashing back and forth, how much time was between tests? Even if that gap was limited to 3 or 4 minutes, it seems hard to compare without like devices next to each other.
How consistently was that spike produced?
Although it's over 3G, I produce fluctuations of 30 to 40 percent with the same device/ROM in back to back Speedtests.
I am fairly consistent over 3G comparing the stock ROM to SalvageMod 1.0.
I think the issue is generally Sprint.

Doesn't meter because at end I tried with 2 phones at same time and results are staying same. Calkulin give me almost same result on 3G and 4G, and that is same result I had on Unleashed with 3G. That should be enough. So to confirm:
Tried same phone
tried different phones same time
Both way results are same
Question is.. why are your results on both 3G and 4G while using Calkulin rom?

I believe you're having an isolated incident, no difference between my phone running v1.8 and my wife's stock, unrooted phone. Download/upload speeds are nearly identical with 3G and 4G.

Need help, not an epic 4g person

i am a droid incredible person, already rooted and currently running cm7.
brother wants me to root his epic 4g.
he is looking for a stable rom and a battery saving kernel with all the same performance.
what are some that i can use?
thanks for your help.

inb4 "wrong section"

I'm rather amazed that you are clearly not a total noob since you have at least managed to flash CM but still posted a question in development...
Anyway, you would be best to wait a couple days for Roms and kernels based on the latest release (EC05), but if you have to flash something now I'd suggest Syndicate ROM

I'm running midnight rom, and its been giving me great performance and stability, much more so than syndicate. Over clocked to 1200, and have 66% battery life left with minimal use, 14 hours running.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Syndicate is awesome it was my daily but when I switched to ec05 I had issues and tried VIPERom synergy which is an eb13 rom. It runs flawless with the ec05 modem. I'm not sure if the issue with syndicate rom was the rom since it is eb13 and not ec05 or something I did wrong in the process but VIPERrom(also eb13 but again, runs great on ec05) has been awesome so far. Not a huge fan of the orange but daily performance is amazing.
Next time might try the general thread.

I'm running bonsai 3.01. Battery life is great no major issues at all. Here is a couple of screens of battery life
The battery was at 5% when these were takin. Only warning about bonsai would be not to let your battery die because of the no journaling mod. Their kernel also is clocked to 1.2 so performance is great as well.

Thumbs up on that one. I have the same problem except that I have a HeroC and the g/f has the Epic. Compared to the manhours I've spent in the Hero, this looks like chinese to me lol. I don't quite follow everyone with the Rom jargon (Eb13, Ec05) and what the hell is journaling and does she really need it? CM7?? I certainly know what that is lol. My Evo comes in tuesday and that'll take me about 5 minutes to get going...the Epic I'm not so sure on.

Most people new to the forums don't take the time to understand posting rules. The dev section always takes the biggest hit.
bonsai viper and acs roms are very good.

FC14 Modem = big improvement

I have tried all previous modems for this phone, they all disconnected from 4g network a few times an hour when I'm in my apartment. I have been running FC14 for 3 days now and haven't had a single disconnect.
This link is from Calkulin:
http://www.buildarom.com/E4GT/Modems/E4GT_Modem_FC14.tar

Duly noted. I'll check this out.

i would get .30kb down and NEVER get a gps lock until i started using the fc series modems........now im getting 1.5mb down and an instantaneous gps lock!

Agreed. FC14 has been really good to me. Im going to try FC15 later today.

Can you use the fc 14 modem on gb as well?
I think you can just want to be sure.

yeah, I'm using a GB rom with it

FC14 was really that good? Dang, looks like I'll flash it now. lol

When changing ROMs I like to flash my modem while still in GB before ICS to just avoid any hassles and it seems to work fine in 2.3.x.

I can confirm better gps reception on fc14 modem vs el29. GPS locked in about 5 seconds vs the minute it used to take.

Yea it is. Auto brightness. No undervolt. Using Setcpu similar to Calks battery script, except I have mine running at 1.2ghz for 10% more. 1.2ghz (100-70%), 1ghz (69-35%), 800mhz (34-0%). And thats about it. Just used my phone regularly. I was on WIFI the entire time. Though, STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE. I use to hit 3-3 1/2 hrs on screen time with wifi on 100% of the time.

ICS and bad 4G down speed

I just got an epic touch and I love it. I tried to load several of the leaked ICS roms and they all result in the same situation....awful 4g speed. I men really terrible sub 3g speed. I made t test today running speed tests and look at the results....the ones with really low down speeds and insane up speeds are done with 4g on and the ones with opposing results are done with 3g. My 3g results outside are actually lose to decent for my evo But this is a new samsung ang numbers like that are just awful.
With such fast up speed, I have to think that my 4g is in theory working under ICS. It is great when I am running a 2.3.6 ROM and there are no 4g issues. Something is slowing down my 4g and I have no idea what. I even called Sprint (remember, this is a leaked rooted rom) and they suggested taking it in to a store. I may just do that, with an ICS rom running so they can seee what is happening.
Has anyone had similar issues? I have run every modem from 15 up. I think fo rthe speed tests here I was running either 18 or 15. I want to start with ICS because the short time I played with it I really enjoyed myself. Any input would be amazing.

Try a different modem. Fc24 is really good for me but its different for everyone. Just try em all til you find what works best.

i have this issue also 4G down never go past 300kb i live in brooklyn I use to get great 4G speeds but now is horrible, for some reason when i go to manhattan am getting 10mbs down i think its the modem am gonna go back to EL29 and see if i get better speeds am running CM9 FC24 Modem

I thought I was going nuts with this same issue for a while now, since running ICS, it's only related to these exp ics builds, once you go back to GB roms you won't have anymore issues. Switching modems won't help,don't even bother. Currently on Calks E4GT v.3.0 EL29 / EL29 modem / overstews ICS theme v.2.5, you get great look and feels like ICS.
