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.

[Q] Rom overload

Can someone who has flashed a lot of these Roms give a brief pro/con of the different roms? I am running freshs latest with netarchys latest and have no complaints. I have tried cm6 and want to know any Sig. Diffs in any of these other recent roms. Ty in advance. (yes I could flash them all myself and see) don't post if you're just going to bash.

I loved fresh and I donator as well but I notice the evio Rom wad faster with the kernel that it came but now I can tell you myns Rom is fastand good looking plus the transition make it even better

That's a small video I made about the Rom and trust me you won't be disappointed, I flashed almost every single Rom including the desire hd one
BTW I'm using kings 9

I actually just got my evo 1 week ago. But I just flashed Myn's yesterday. I agree its a very nice ROM. The transitions make it look even more visually stimulating than what it already is. I definetely recommend it. I looked through all the different Roms and I chose Myn's because it looked the most promising. At least, until the Desire ROM is out with all fixes

Thanks for the input guys. I might try myns after my next exam

I like the Desire HD rom. I am downloading the Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo and Steel RevG rom. I think I am addicted to trying all of them. I also like the nightly CyanogenMod roms. I think I should learn how to make my own. That would be pretty kewl.

Rom suggestions

Hey all, im pretty new to the evo, just rooted it this morning. Ive done plenty of rom flashing on previous phones so I'm good to go...just wondering if I could get some suggestions on some good roms to flash. I like stock but would like a more efficient running set up. Thanks

Thanks, ill try em

I've tried about a half dozen in the past month, both AOSP and Sense ROM's and I've found myself always coming back to the Sense ROM. My two favorites so far have to be Evo Nonsense and Fresh Evo. I haven't really found anything that doesn't work on either ROM, many of the others cant say that.

Myn's Warm 2.2 is great.
MIUI is nice, its so lightweight that I clock my evo at 499 max and it runs normally and with the side effect of great battery life.

i agree i have fresh rom for about 3 months now and i like it the best.
fresh 3.5 and netarchy 4.1.9.1 gives you really good battery

+ for MIUI. It's impossible for me to go back to any Sense ROM now, they just don't compare. Other AOSP ROMs are nice, but none are as elegant as MIUI.

Myn, mikfroyo, cyanogen, or miui.

I really liked the overall layout and featires incorporated in MIUI when I tried it a month or so ago but NOW that I know about 4G being in my area, no way I can live without using a feature I've been paying for all this time, now that it's available in my area. I'm also not crazy about the camera not being 8MP......when they dial in that ROM where everything works as it should, then I'll give'em another go.
I failed to mention Myn RLS4 was also a very nice ROM.

Thanks for all the input, I'm still not sure what to choose. I downloaded myn's and netarchy...not sure which to use yet though

Try Calk's They're always awesome.

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.

4g doesnt work on miui right

Nope, it's AOSP so no 4G or HDMI.

I think you will fall in love with the Azreal rom. I have been running it for over a month now with no issues at all. Good luck finding a rom that you will like.

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)

Evoneo
vaelpak

Evio2
If I'm on a Sense rom, I use go launcher

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.

Myns RLS5 Rom with Aloysius theme..... Sweet or CM7 nightly 13 with Mixer theme.... Awesome

which rom to use (first)?

finally got my Dinc2 rooted with the new software root but i'm having trouble deciding which rom to load up (first anyways haha) which ones have had you on the edge of your seat waiting for root/have been running like a dream since you got root for everyone? Also coming from the OG droid these rom files are HUGE! a big rom for my old phone was 80 MB but virtuous unity is 400 MB!!

Miui all the way
I think the file was only 90 mb(ish).

haha its funny you said that because that is the ONLY rom for the DINC2 that i know about. But i never could get used to it on my D1 so i don't think i'll start off this new phones hacking career with something I've already seen and didn't particularly like.

Virtuous Unity got an entire week straight on my phone before I went back to flashing again. Amazing ROM.

I think it depends on what you like. If you like sense then go with one of the debloated roms, or other sense roms. I've only loaded cm7 and had to go find some widgets to replace what I lost by leaving sense. It's pretty stable though and has great theme support. I'm not likely to go anywhere else soon.

MIUI is amazing. Best ROM I've ever used (so far).

MIUI has its followers but to me its too iPhone-ish. If you like CM7 or AOSP roms You should check out either OMGB or OMFGB by R2doesinc. Amazingly fast and stable with great battery life.

I just got mine s-off and rooted last night as well, I think for now I'm going to stick with the debloated one (RMK or whatever)for now. From what I can see majority of the custom roms have random problems like data, wifi, mms, gps, and other stuff not working. I'll wait for a little longer till the devs work out the bugs before jumping on them.

I run rmk's GingerSense primarily (stock debloated, although I'm not running the latest patch), but I dualboot it with OMGB as well. Love AOSP, but there's some things I use extensively in the stock firmware.

I went with OMGB since I really like my phone as stock as possible. So far, so good.
