[Q] ROM Advice, please

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.

Try them all cm7 MiUI Calks UnNamed etc.... that's what nandroid and XDA is all about and if your coming from an Evo you should know better... Plus there is a million what roms should I choose threads why don't anyone search those threads for answers or ask there question in there. JUS Sayin

+1 so true.. hell download them all and flash away.. just do it late ate night like me when im not expecting any important calls.... also keep ODIN ready and a stock rom rooted just in case you mess something up... have fun flashing!

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.

What was the Sams Club deal? if you don't mind my asking.

This thread is NOT a good idea. Soon it will be an all out flame war. These threads never last.
Lets say this much....Everyone has a favorite rom....Just because one person likes it doesnt mean another will. I recommend flashing ALL the roms to get a feel for what you like. Each rom has something unique to it. All of our developers are great. Give each rom a flash
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

All roms have their ups and downs. I like cm9 the most.

blazer seems to be the most popular so far. Im kind of in between roms. been flashing a lot lately, but nothing has fit just right like blazer did a few months back.
i got a taste of the ics and i cant go back tho currently on calk 1.6 with kobridge 3.3 tweaks

Agree with ReActiveDisorder, each ROM is different and each user likes different things. Just try some and find what you will like.:thumbup:

Have to agree with Reactive here.

Read up on some threads and OP's. Find out what features each ROM offers and go from there.
Its really that simple. Everyone will have there OWN opinion on whats the best..... and thats just what it is. THERE opinion, not yours.
Flash away man and just find out what YOU like.
Good luck bro.

Yep...... and how you say you ''personally'' look for stability and battery just backs up what I'm getting at.
Everyone has there own likes and dislikes about what ROM they prefer. Thats one reason why these ''what's your favorite ROM and why'' threads never seem to work out.
No offense to the OP...... its just the way it is.

Truuu they do ...but it seems to going good so far ... I know a couple of my post got lock down lol

[Q] Best ROM for EPiC Touch?? Stable/battery life

Just got my wife an Epic Touch 4G, I wanted to install CM9 on it, but I don't see it anywhere? I want something stable, with good battery life. What ROMS do you recommend ? can be TW/AOSP, as long as its STABLE and everything works. Shes rocking stock ICS on it now.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815854
I use that rom as my dd. Its calk's worked baked in to ff18 with some other stuff. Its almost stock feel. Most bloat removed. Ton of mods.
There is another awesome rom called blu kuban. Not sure if it fits your needs. Its super themed with awesome blue and black colors. Has its own kernel with a ton of cpu tweaks. Blu kuban is like the ultimate rom.

You could also try the "black" ROM, it's very stable and has a great battery life. It is off of ff18 right now but is going to move to fh13 soon.

Its funny how much this question gets asked. I would read up thoroughly on how to flash Roms and root or whatever it is you you want to do and go to the development section read about what is going on and how to install whatever ROM you want to try and try it, see how it works for you and if you don't like take it off. Trial and error is your best bet just make sure you aren't blindly flashing and installing stuff if you don't know what you are doing. Qbking77 has a lot of helpful videos on YouTube also.

That's not true by a long shot...
The reason we started making our own ROMs was the instabilities, short-comings, and plain mistakes made by SamSprint in the stock ROMs.. you know, like the eMMC brick bug? That's a far cry from stable imo..

[Q] Recommendations for updating my Epic 4G

Hi All,
I'm looking to update my phone with a new ROM/OS. I've rooted before and believe I currently have a MIDNIGHT ROM loaded (see attached phone screen-shot). I see references to CM9 and CM10, ICS/JB. I think i know the processes, ODIN, etc.... I'd just like to be pointed to the most stable, current files.
Thanks in advance.

If you want the most stable and best for the Epic 4G and coming from Midnight you may want to stick with one of the FC09 Toichwiz ROMs. If you are more adventurous and don't mind an AOSP ROM then CM9 is Ice Cream Sandwich for this phone. There are still a few bugs in CM10 and the Jellybean variants.

TPR is a great stable ROM. Great battery life, all the toggles, smoothness tweaks, etc. I went to it after CleanGB and even gave the included Zeam Launcher a whirl. Try it out. You won't be disappointed. I got the flashing bug after a couple months and have tried AOKP M6, CM9, then went back to TPR. Now I've gone to CM10, but may yet go back to TPR for the stability and great battery life.
Edit---
Be sure to Odin or flash the FC09 modem.

I agree with the TPR comments BUT if you want that AOSP variant and stable with great battery life go to CM7. BATTERY life is the KEY to my statement/point of view.

Thank you my friend. Which modem are you running? There are different schools of thought on modems. I always just go with latest official after the problems with the leaked modems. But whatever gives you beat speed and signal for you.

Frankly, I can't say for sure if FC09 is any better than earlier versions, but I have always had good luck running the latest official released modem. If you're comfortable using Odin, changing modems is easy and not particularly risky. There are CWM flashable versions of the modems, but that involves flashing a modded kernel, flashing the modem, then reflashing your intended kernel. To be honest, I think Odin is safer and simpler for modems.
