[Q] Synergy ROM RLS1 user, looking for faster and updated ROM - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running Synergy RLS1 for a few months now pretty successfully. The only issue I have with this ROM is that it becomes sluggish at times and the battery drains very quickly.
I would like to find a new ROM to flash as Synergy has reached the end of its development AFAIK, but I have so far found it difficult to locate one in which everything works, like it has in Synergy. There are so many ROMs out there, it's tough to research them all. I would like some suggestions.
My requirements:
Android 2.3.5 or higher
Sense 3.5 (Sense 3.0 is fine if it is highly stable and fast)
wifi, 3g, usb & camera working (4g not necessary)

Imo the best rom ive been on has been miui is fast and smooth ,however,i had loads of iisues with gps so i switched to cm7 and fell inlove this rom is super fast stable and everything works besides 4g i think .now i am on eternity efected rom and i dont think ill go back to another rom lol .no 4g but in my area i barely have any so its all good .i did not like syenery with god mode but again thats my opinion .try cm7 or eternity by virus .good luck

A couple suggestions.....if u want stability speed and a frequently updated Rom try mikg 3.0. Very much like synergy in that it is sense 2.1 + 3. Way better than synergy however.....aamikam is a really top notch dev.
If u must have sense 3.5 go for vin's r3mix. He's also a very active dev as far as sense 3.5 goes, its extremely quick. Still though, any 3.5 Rom is gonna have issues.

I have researched this ROM as well and it looks great. The only issue here is no Sense. Since I am a very visual aesthetics oriented person, I do prefer the eye-candy of Sense.

Hmm interesting suggestion. In your opinion, what makes this ROM better than Synergy? If I am to stay with a Sense 2.1 + 3 ROM, than I would be interested if it performed better.

Mikg has been way furthur developed. Synergy stopped over the summer and since then there have been some cool new features like the insanse amount of stuff in miktweaks. It is actively developed and the forum at themikmik.com is awesome. Super friendly peeps, lots of themes, mods, etc. Mik is also the master at optimizing everything for a super snappy rom that doesn't seem to get "bogged down" over time.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have narrowed it down to 2 ROMS. MikG Sense 2.1 + 3 v3.0 and Team-Nocturnal Shooter Port for HTC EVO 4G. Of the two, the MikG ROM seems to be the more stable, full featured & most supported. The Shooter ROM however has Android version 2.3.5, for which I like a few of the changes since 2.3.3

best evo rom?

So coming to Evo4G in couple days and am wondering which sense rom is performing the best right now? plan on rooting as soon as its in my hands
any help would be great on rom choice
mainly looking for sense rom with good battery life and stable running
dont care about overclock so much
thanks in advance
I like regawmod 3 but it is only for beta testers right now. Wait til' its out but for now i would recommend virus.
I'm using Calkulin's EViO rom and I am absolutely in love with it. I'm on 24hrs of moderate usage and my battery isn't even halfway drained.
This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I would reccommend trying several for yourself and deciding which you like the most. Just as you can see from the responses so far, everyone has their own favorites and for different reasons, you might as well see which you like the most. I for one like Damage Control.
Stable sense, mm well I'm using evio rom rite now and I like it much, fast and reliable, fresh rom is good too, but imo evio is faster and sense work I just flash the hddesire dump file for the filp clock and it works really nice
HTC EVIO using swype
The best rom is always the one that is supposed to be released
fresh 3.2 works great

What kernel are you using? I've been on EViO since Day 1 and have never gotten this kind of battery life. Don't get me wrong, battery life is good, but not THIS good!
ive used CM6 nightlies for a few months now.
i have tried Baked Snack, Fresh, Calks, etc
Of those I think i liked Baked Snack the most. Fresh always seemed a touch laggy to me, not sure if I ever tried it with a different Kernel though.
Right now i'm ont he 9/20 nightly of Cyanogenmod, and i'm using the 7.6BFS kernel in Turbo mode....and hit a 2605 Quadrant score...
everything is just smooth.
but i'm looking into going back to a sense rom. But i use ADW Launcher, just love it.
I love fresh with man up theme currently 20hrs + on normal use.....
Do any one know what is the best Rom / kernel for heavy use of the phone (what Rom will allow the phone to be use without draining battery life fast )
So far fresh Rom is good just wondering if there is something better
cyanogen, ride til i die lol
Right now, I'm using fresh, It used to work great I just updated to the latest one. It is very laggy to me but I believe that is my fault haha. I backup system data along with apps in titanium backup then restored all. I'm actually searching for a different rom but Fresh has been great to me. Also, I really want to try cyanogen its just not all the things work yet. I know cyanogen has great stuff and hes been in the game a very long time. When i has my g1 a few years back, his rom was the only one I touched, So smooth and nice. Most likely my choice with be cyanogen when everything is fixed, and I havent even used it on the evo!
I guess alot of people just don't reply to Questions on this forum very often compared to Development posts. I would recommend trying out Myn's Warm Two Point Two. I used to use Fresh but wanted to try out Myn's when it came out because it looked like an awesome rom, needless to say I'll never look back. The numbers on Myn's rom post don't lie. Also, I feel it is important that a dev regularly contributes to posts on their rom, which Myn does. I tried Cyanogen one time, and just wasn't a fan, plus the broken 4g is a deal breaker for me.
the beauty with the evo is there are so many quality ROM's to try out, you should really try them all out. I only run sense based roms because it allows me to sync with my exchange email, so i would recommend trying these out as i have:
in no particular order
- Baked snacks
- Fresh
- Myn's
- Any calk ROM
- there are a couple of sense basic ROM's as well
there is also AOSP based ROM's that if work for you give them a shot. the beauty is, the one that does what you want is the best ROM for you

MIUI for me
The best one for me is the one I made to fit my use. Use the dsixda kitchen to start and slowly you will get deeper into customizing it past the kitchen. I don't use other roms anymore because if something isn't working you have to wait for them to fix it. I keep a stock rooted backup on hand when I am building my rom in case something is not working.

Top ROMS!

I recently ROOT my EVO, so I want to know for those who has gone to varios ROMS what are the top 5 ROMS.
Me personally has ben looking for some Desire Z or Desire HD port, only for the Themes but don't know the names of the ROMS here, or or some Gingerbread ROMS but they are a lot of ROMS here, I;m comming from the HeroC...
Calkulin EVi0 2 best room (I just hate that animation color screen at boot) give me up to 12 hours of battery time.
im new too i just rooted my phone sunday i heard from some people that some roms and kernals are made for certain hardware. mines hardware 0004 is it true
thanks.
If you want to fall in love with your EVO all over again, I HIGHLY recommend MIUI. It is hands down the best looking and best performing ROM out there.

The best rom for the evo right now is the mikfroyo 4.4 hands down. In terms of speed and customized features it is my favorite of all and mik is already working on
V 4.5 so for u its time to start flashing and enjoying your powerhouse that is the evo the way u suppose to. Happy flashing and have fun!
+1 in the mikfroyi 4.4. Makes me appreciate sense widgets.

Sorry, I meant Konikub's themes.
NEED TO TRY ROMS: DONT GO WITHOUT AT LEAST 3 HOURS ON THESE.
myn's warm twopointtwo: insane themeing. blows your mind and other parts (hehe). fast, stable, just very themed and very feature inclusive.
caulkin's evio 2: incredibly fast. this dude is amazing. you will find his 'usb/wifi tether hack, reboot mod, mms limit/compression mod's in almost every rom out there. slightly themed to not look as fugly as the htc version, very good battery, extreme speed, etc etc etc.
ava-froyo z3: this man is quite a coder. he goes deep inside the rom to alter things never touched by other devs, including radio, 4g, memory management, etc. its a hit and miss for some phones, but gets amazing results on others.
cyanogenmod: vanilla aosp, the biggest project on the xda. built on many different phones, huge team, incredible changes, its like a whole new phone. you wont get the same results or features from any other phone on the market. no hdmi (claims its almost done) and FINALLY 4G (in alpha 2 testing, the code for 4g had to be totally rewritten by two guys. thats probably the biggest feat in this phone's history)
miui: a crossover aosp rom that looks almost like the iphone but with the functionality and customizability of android +100. infinite amount of features. this isnt really built on anything... everything is different. a brand new operating system pretty much. worth a flash. some love it, some (like me) dont.
I am currently using this ROM [ROM(S)]CM7-EX.v9, its pretty neat, still has a few minor issues but it's usable and yeah its Gingerbread. No 4G or HDMI.

Well put. I will +1 you on the CyanogenMod. Great stable ROM with tons of customizability and features out of wazoo.
I would also put in a recomendation foe Fresh Evo ROM by Flipz. Maintains a familiar Sense UI but has some nice performance tweaks and removes all of the bloatware. Also has full HDMI and 4G support. Just another simple and user friendly option for custom ROM that does not get too radical.

I like all the responses here and how members try to help, especially the 8th grade kid, lol.
I for one won't flash a rom where any of the features of the phone won't work, despite the fact of the great work all of those guys are doing to bring gingerbread to us, I applaud all their hard work. Whatever rom u flash, make sure u do a full wipe so u can get a clean install, do a back up or nandroid before u start flashing and read, read, read and keep on reading, that's the most important thing, get acquainted with any issues or problems that may arise with the roms u gonna flash so u don't panick and go all monkey if the phone freezes or whatever the situation may be. Finally be ready for the storm, flashing is an addiction hard to control.
My top five (which may not be your top five)
MIUI
Evoneo
vaelpak
burnt droid
Evio2
If I'm on a Sense rom, I use go launcher
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I know this has already been said but I just have to agree with Cyanogen. The stable build (6.1.2?) is incredibly nice with plenty to do. On the other hand, Cyanogen7 (i.e. nightlies) are a bit more finnicky (still a superb work in progress). I used the stable build until I had enough courage (newbie myself to android) to start trying the night builds. I really dont want to go back to anything else now, not even the stable. Getting excellent battery life (intermittent tho), great look, very customizable. Def worth a try, if anything
Depends on what you want our of your rom. I tried many, but heres my personal experience.
I went with miui for awhile. Loved the speed and uniqueness. In the end missed everything working perfect.
Went to azrael for awhile. Fastest sense rom in my opinion. Highly recommend if you like sense.
Since I don't like sense, but want stuff to be fully functional, I'm currently on vaelpak. Very fast, great on battery, and the vaelpak settings app makes it very easy to tune to your liking.

How to choose Evo rom?

I was looking at the Evo rom subforum and there are so many options. I have no idea what to choose. When I had the Hero, I used cyanogenmod. I liked it, but I'm definitely open to any suggestions
The most important features to me are long battery life and speed.
I like MIUI so far. But really depends if you like sense or not.
Sent from my Evo powered by MIUI
I have no problem with sense. I'll definitely consider MIUI when choosing a rom.
Based on the number of replies and page views, it looks like Warm TwoPointTwo is the most popular rom. I read the first page and the screenshots look nice, but there's not much information about its features. Does anyone know why it's so popular?

MIUI
CM7
CM6

I got them all nandroid on my 16gb card... enjoy my friend you got the hottest phone on the planet for a minute or two longer....lol
I'm all about MIUI. Been running it since the beginning of november. There really is no comparison. All the sense ROMs are pretty much identical to me, except for the different themes, and CM is nice but it's pretty plain appearance wise. MIUI has the performance of CM but is gorgeous to look at, plus it has a TON of features that aren't available in any other ROM, and more features get added with every release.

Like the above user said, depends if you like sense or not. I personally loved sense before flashing to an aosp rom [such as cyanogen].
For sense, the talk of the town is mikfroyo and Evio by calkulin
AOSP...CM7 nightlies, evervolv are nice..
As for battery life, you'll have to experiment with some kernels.
Fast, bloat free gingerbread? Salvage. =P

No 4g is the dealbreaker for me on that ROM. Anxiously waiting though.
I'm currently running the Cyanogen 7 Gingerbread Rom. It's decent, but a little buggy.
I am currently running Myns Warm 2.2 and love it due to the battery life, i've gotten 23 hrs out of it so far without a charge with moderate use, texts, facebook and a few calls.
been using it for about a week.
MikFroyo is the fastest sense based rom that I have found. Plus the people in the thread are very helpfull, and slow to flame.

ok, here is a better question, good rom with 4G/WiMAX, working GPS, and 3g/4g hotspot. I have Cyanogen 7 RC1, but it is buggy. Don't like it too much.
Warm twopointtwo by myn all the way. very fast, looks great, and battery life like you wouldnt believe
everything works, download the wireless hotspot for root on market. some say the browser is slow, but myn uploaded a fix for that in his thread
Best way to choose is to try them all out. I would at least try mikfroyo, myn, miui, and evio. Before yo do though, might want to just try flashing one of the most recent cm7 nightlies over rc1. I think there are some changes that might make it a bit more stable.
I'm running the latest cm7 with wimax and have very few issues.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
trying out MiK right now. i think miui didn't have 4g, one of those u listed didn't
Yeah, Miui doesn't have 4g (yet). Still worth a try though. I think you'll like Mik. That and EViO are my fav sense ROMs. Kings is also really nice. Mik base and tons of themes.

I've used Warm 2.2 and currently on Ava Froyo. It's also a good, stable ROM will everything working.
Using Netacrvy-Toastmod 4.3.1 cfs-havs-nosbc, I'm getting decent battery life with moderate usage. Now the trick is to define what's acceptable life for your usage. I have 3 constant sync emails with FB, 4Square, and a couple of calls and youtubes a day, and don't have to worry about a charge.

[Q] What is the best rom to use?

What is a great rom to use that not gonna cook your phone cause of a messed up or overclocked kernel? I was using the CM 7 rom for awhile I loved it tho I didn't like the camera app on there would like to find a rom that hdmi is working and stock camera app is working with themes. Right now im using the Sprints Lovers rom. Any ideas thank....
Well you're gona get a ton of answers. I here Myn's warm two point two is good. And if you want hdmi, you have to stick to sense-for the times being.
Myn's would be my first suggestion. As far as I know, it has all the things you wanted.

Check out the poll. Try them out and see what you like. Everyone has their own preferences. Link in my sig
I like to use MikFroyo the most. Very responsive and everything works.
MIUI. HDMI doesn't work but it doesn't matter, MIUI is worth the trade off.
If you want one that everything works definatly myns warmtwopointtwo
I like Fresh too, but Myn's looks so much better and I think it runs better.
I have seen this question so many times now, mostly in the Dev section. Thanks for posting where it belongs lol.
I have tried almost every rom out there. Some package specific (non-stock) kernels, which may not be the best out-of-the-box experience, depending on your hardware.
I too +1 for Myn's RLS5. It's stock-esque, but better, if that's what you're looking for.
If you want to be adventurous, try MIUI. It's fricken' awesome, but doesn't have 4G yet or HDMI. I've found the HDMI personally to be worthless anyway after buying an adapter on eBay.

Myns is very stable. I've been using it since I've rooted my phone, and no matter how many different ROMS I try, I always come back to Myns because it just plain works. Also, Myns ROM thread is incredibly active, and if you ask a question there, more than likely you'll have a solution/answer by the next hour. Ontop of that, myn reads most, if not every post in the thread and listens to what the community likes and doesn't like about his work, and keeps them updated on what he plans to work on etc.
I'm sure other people can make similar arguments for other ROMS, but I just thought I would share my thoughts.

I just tried the virus rom his latest one it says sensless but you have a option to turn sense on and the stock camera and hd works also pretty nice rom worth checking out.
I've tried Myns, Ava, Kings, Elite, Fresh, Azrael, and MikFroyo. Most of them have been pretty stable, but IMO MikFroyo is where it's at. If you need a bit more eye candy, Kings is based of MikFroyo and has a ton of themes.
Although my biased opinion says try CM7 again

Ya i love the cm 7 just wanting on the stable update the voice mail thing got annoying the text thing that came through with every voice mail you got and no HDMI yet.
Personally I have tried a ton. Sense based: MikFroyo and Myn's. But I would also have to say MikFroyo. After a few weeks of using both Mik is less laggy. Plus he has an optimized LauncherPro which did it for me since I use the car dock a lot and need a landscape launcher.
Currently testing gginggerbread-6 (CM7 RC1+4G). Its not bad. A few FC but overall stable enough to run daily.
Didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some opinions on which ROM to put on my wife's new EVO. She's not very tech savy so I don't want to keep changing things on her phone by flashing different things all the time. I just wanted to pick one great looking, speedy ROM that seems to have virtually no issues.
I'm not the type to flash every single ROM so my experience is limited to Baked Snack, Fresh, and CM7 RC1/nightlies. I'm figuring a nice Sense ROM will be best for her.
What you say?

I ran Fresh before I made the jump to MIUI, it's a great ROM, very stable and bug free. That would be my recommendation. He doesn't update it as much as some of the other devs do theirs, but that will prevent you from having to update often.

You should check out the virus rom 1.1 infection still has some bit of sense in it.

[Q] [SENSE ROM] What is your choice and why?

Just like the title says, what is your favorite/most used/fastest/best on battery SENSE ROM. I'm currently running CyanogenMod 7 Nightly # (insert number here) and have been running CM for a long time. I almost forget how stock sense looks like
Now I know most people will say "you got to just try them out and see what you like", but honestly there are LOTS of choices and doing the nandroid and restoring of apps and all that is annoying. I want the most complete package based on your experiences. Just naming off a ROM name doesn't help. Providing reasons would be great.
I WANTED to go with :
Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471)
OR
MikFroyo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026)
OR maybe
MikZ (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982211)
I believe MikFroyo is as stock as it gets with the original Sense while Warm TwoPointTwo and MikZ have the new Sense baked in. But MikZ has some features not working such as 4G and HDMI?
Somebody help me out! lol thanks in advance
I love mikfroyo v4.5 it just purly awesome. Personaly I love the speed probably the fastest sense rom I have used and I used alot including myns. And also the best battery I have used. So mik. All the way and also mikz. And its also very good

I'm using Myn's Warm Z right now and I absolutely love it. Speed, from what I can tell so far: good battery life, very fluid and very graphically gorgeous.
tried them all myself and i keep going back to Miks ! the speed of the rom is wicked and the dev is in for the long haul !
waiting on 4.6

Maybe I'll move it to my SD and flash it during class tomorrow to check it out.
Mik's is about the only Sense ROM I haven't used.
For best all around, King's Ultra. Fast, decent battery life, visually amazing.
Koni's is right with it, but the battery life was terrible. Still, a visual masterpiece.
Vaelpak has the most options and is very very customizable. It''s prett yfast, battery is pretty good, with the right kernel, and I would have stayed wit hit, but I ran RUU on my phone and just wanted to try something new.
Myn's WarmZ is pretty perfect. Doesn't have th CM-like customizations of VaelPak, but it's gorgeous, stable, fast. Everthing works, and battery os ok.
11 hrs off the charger last night, with not a whole lot of use, other than a lot of texting, and I went to bed with it at 79%.
Maybe I'll give Mik's a try, just so I can say I tried everything on the menu.
I like mikfroyo 4.5 fast, great battery life everything works. But I think you need to try them all for yourself and decide. What someone else likes you may not. And besides it's fun to flash and try new stuff, just try to stop, you'll see once you start it' s like lays potato chips.
mikfroyo... hands down the fastest rom ive ever used.
I'm in the same boat except I've been on MIUI since last fall. I downloaded Koni Elite with Mikfroyo 4.5 to try. I've used Vaelpak way back and liked it. Vaelek had since added.lots of features. My favorite is no longer being updated - I hate it when that happens but with all the new phones and OS, it's not surprising.
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.3.5 with stock kernel
Honeycomb theme
Calks Evio roms are hands down the best I have used....and I have tried them all. Lightly visually modded and very fast and extremely stable.

+1 on Calk's EViO. Have tried most sense roms, but no roms can complete with the stability of EViO, battery life with undervolt, and mature (light) theme. The best one for my taste and performance needs.

I actually didn't have much success with Caulk's. Not to take anything away from the man, he's a genius.
But on my phone, it just didn't play so well.

That is with the new Sense (2.0?) that isnt available to stock EVO yet, correct? Is everything working on that ROM like 4G and HDMI? Nothing buggy? What is the base RUU that was used for that ROM? I hope it always starts with a EVO RUU and gets other **** baked in.
BTW for all the posters, I flashed MikFroYo last night and it is FAST. I want to try other stuff out tho. Give me more info!!!! Loving the responses so far.
Another vote for Calk's EViO 1.8. Smooooth as can be, fast and super stable. This is pretty much the only sense ROM I run on the very, very rare occasion that I am not on MIUI.
Calk's EViO 1.8 vs MikFroYo vs WarmTwoPointTwo
BATTLE ROYAL COMPARISON....lol
These three seem to be the top three that people have recommended (damn i shoulda done a vote)....but can people give me some comparisons. I come from CM7 nightlies so I am used to ****ty battery life. I currently have MikFroYo flashed and see it is fast. EViO is better on battery maybe? WarmTwoPointTwo has newer Sense?
After flashing and dozen or so, I finally stuck with elite series II.
I just can't pick one over the other, tbh...
Now I'm on King's Ultra II and by Friday, I'll probably had changed again.....
Calk's EViO 1.8. I've never ran Myn's Rom but I tried MikFroyo. They are both pretty snappy but I got better battery out of Calk's.

If you add Koni's to that threesome, I think you have four excellent sense ROMs to try. You might also check out this thread. It is a few weeks old now, but probably still relevant (if you buy into poll results.) If nothing else, you can cruise the posts and get some more info/ideas. And this one is a little more recent, but I think by that point people were over polls like this so not nearly as many responses.
