[Q] ROM suggestion for inexperienced user? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a friend who wants me to root their evo & maybe flash a rom, well I don't want to flash MIUI because it requires a little know-how what you can/cant do sense vs asop plus every once and a while you run into a bug or FC, so I'm thinking of sticking with sense.
any suggestions for good looking and a bug-free rom?

Mik 3.0 is a solid Sense rom, everything including 4G works.

Evo classic

In my opinion I am using Damage Control 3.5 Final... but you have to fully rooted (have unlocked your NAND) for this ROM to install. So if you used toast's method to ROOT you should be fine. I have excellent battery life and havent had any problems witht this ROM. Wifi tether works (I used it yesterday to jailbreak an iPad at bestbuy).
I'm defiantly full nand unlocked.does that rom have sense installed? I use launcher pro. Also hows your ram on that one? On fresh typically have about 175-200 free.

Yes it does have Sense.. .and Internal Phone storeage is about 300MB before I installed all of my apps...
I use CyanogenMod, the nightly builds (it's gotten a lot faster than RC1 since a few days ago).
Personally there are some aspects of Sense I miss... Mostly the text select for copy/paste, since vanilla Android's implementation sucks, but overall I prefer CyanogenMod more, hands-down. Also, I trend to average around 180-200MB free RAM.
As far as I know, if you don't want any trace of Sense on your phone, CyanogenMod is your only real choice, since it is built from the ground up on Android's sourcecode.
But with any other ROM, Sense can be disabled.
The two I'd recommend would be CyanogenMod or Baked Snacks. I haven't tried Damaged Goods though... I'll have to try it out.
Oh, and just so you know, CyanogenMod currently doesn't have 4G, if that matters to you.

for DC 3.5 you can very easily Ban sense in DCONFIG if you dont want it. I ban all sprint apps, sense, and launcher in the config so that all i am left with is launcher pro.
This lets me have my 4g, hdmi, fm radio. Still lets me have 2.2 and gets rid of sense. plus DC is an amazing rom anyway.

Roms beside cm miui mikifroyo and myn?

What are some good roms to try besides the ones I listed? I've been on miui for awhile now and getting bored. I love the extra features in miui like the visitor mode and all the extra settings.
So can u list some roms u guys like along with some nice features... Thanks

I would suggest the ROM sticky. Having used almost all the ROMs I prefer Caulkin's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
From what I've read, 4g does not work with some ROMs (I'm looking at trying out Cyanogen). If my keys are backed up, will my 4g still work when I flash to my previous ROM or a new ROM that supports 4g?
I rooted using Xhausx's autoroot 2.2.
Thank you!

4G doesn't work on AOSP roms [like cyanogen] Though there is a rom with CM7 with WiMax based off of build 24 [can be found in development section], and offers 4G. Also, you can use an AOSP rom and flash back to a sense rom and still have 4G.
Try Fresh3.5...very stable.
definetally caulkins. the very best there is.
plutonium! give it a try
Calks, burnt droid and liquid port based off bigrushdog
I enjoyed Vael's a lot, but on Mik's currently.

What's your perfect ROM?

Hope that's the right section for this
What does your perfect ROM have?
Is it cyanogen mod, is it sense, etc...
I ask that because there are just a few roms and i want to start an own Rom
And I would like to get some ideas so it fits your wishes

My perfect one ATM is Ginger Yoshi.
It's like CM7 only better
yes,this will be my base
You might want to work on a Ginger - Sense ROM, if it is possible. Because, ATM, there are a lot of 2.3 AOSP options out there, and, just one Ginger Sense (Which is sadly abandoned). So, you'll probably get a better response.
Just my 2C.

That's an idea but there would be some graphic glitches because of missing graphic sources.. But when gingerbread with sense for desire comes out I consider doing that
For now I just want to improve ginger yoshi mainly

Isn't there Gingersense for the Desire already? My friend is using Crystal Kingdom 3 (Sense 3.0) on his Desire, and, just a quick browse in the Desire Android Development Section shows a lot of Gingerbread Sense ROMs.
Obviously, since you have decided already, this post is kinda pointless, but, just letting you know.

Yes but if you use it some time you see that there are graphic glitches and some things who aren't fixed... If an official update comes with sense everything should work like a charm
I used many times sense 3.0 on my hd2 and i know what I am saying

It would run pretty fast on wildfire because it's not so heavy like sense roms?!

OTA

If I were to restore to my stock backup, and tell it to update, will it take my root? I'm kinda thinking about unrooting, just cuz I'd like to go back to stock..... I think. Someone please tell me what will/might happen if I tell it to take the update.
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Why not just download a rooted stock rom? Going back to stock if you unroot gains nothing. Unless you are taking the phone back.
Ok. I was kinda wanting to also make sure it was faster and I could freeze stuff if I needed to. I was using skyraider yesterday, but my speed went way down. But I also think it could've been due to the mods I was using.
Also,what is the fastest sense based ROM? Like uses least amount of RAM and CPU. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
Stock Rom is definately not faster than custom roms its packed with bloat. I've been using bamf forever seems pretty fast to me

I was using skyraider, but it seemed to eat up memory like a mofo. But, like I said before, I was using some of andybones' mods like the transparent settings.apk and such. Would that cause it to eat up more?
If you are already rooted you can install RMK 2.3.4 build which is official and fast and debloated. Buy titanium backup and freeze what you don't want.

Well, I tried newts ROMs, and I thought they were a bit buggy. I tried virtuous and didn't like it. I don't like straight sense 3. I like scrolling wallpaper. I liked skyraider because of that. Any other sense 2.1/3 or even a 2.1/3.5 mix would be sick. Being able to hide icons on the lockscreen and ditch pages. Can someone mix those, or is that too hard?
