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.

Running Laucher Pro, should I ditch HTC Sense?

Ever since I found Launcher Pro I've never used anything else.
I'm running SkyRaider 3.5 (which is HTC Sense) and I'm wondering if I should go to an AOSP ROM like CM7.
I'm wondering:
> Will it be faster than current setup?
> Will it be better on battery than current setup?
Let me know, thanks.

Battery and speed will improve depending on which kernal you use. The main advantage to using a AOSP ROM for me was better bluetooth support. I can't use wii controlers with my emulators using Sense but I can if I use a non-Sense ROM like CM6 or CM7. Shows you what I look for in a ROM doesn't it.

Doesn't Skyraider offer a senseless version of the Skyraider ROM?

Speed will depend, more likely than not it will be a bit speedier and better on battery IMO. I have been running CM7 with the Savaged-Zen kernel and i got over a day and a half out of it, that with setcpu at 128/1113 with smartass governor.

I used to stick with Sense based ROMS because they where just so smooth and stable, but now im with AOSP ROMS like CM7 and a few others. I use launcher pro and its awesome. The customization of AOSP ROMS are pretty much endless, and they give you a cleaned up Android. Id give it a try, just make a back up of SkyRaider then download the latest CM7 RC.

@OP
I was in your shoes about a week after using the phone after I bought it.
Went AOSP and haven't gone back except for the occasional, lets see if somehow the grass somehow decided to paint itself greener and became super plants.
I recommend AOSP completely. It's alot more of a streamlined android experience, and IMO lets you really customize the OS to work for you, rather than having to work with sense.
Not saying sense is bad or anything, it's my favorite non stock rom, but AOSP is just above and beyond for me.
Although incredibly re-engineered had me off AOSP for about 3 days before switching back

Senseless is still Sense framework, which lacks the advantages of a true AOSP ROM. The advantage to Senseless is a vanilla interface, but the stability of the Sense framework.

Thanks for the input!
Will be switching to an ASOP ROM sometime tonight.

For me unfortunately, the lack of decent widgets keeps forcing me back to the new desire z based sense roms. Too many additional features in sense. Wish there were good equivalent aosp widgets for what you can get from htc in the hd/z/mt4g/inc s roms...

I don't know if you wanna jump in head first or not but, I'm really enjoying the new Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 right now. Another great is MIUI. They're both great on battery life and they're both highly customizable. But they are a big change from sense- especially MIUI. And, obviously, CM7 is a release candidate so it isn't perfect (although damn close.) Whether you jump on them now or later, once you've gotten your feet wet, you should check em both out some time.

That's false. I have never gotten the battery life from an AOSP rom that I have from an optimized Sense rom. I've used almost every kernel for both types of roms. There are quite a few people that actually complain about CM battery life. As far as speed its like the butt dyno, just saying your phone feels faster is all perception. There are people that say the optimized Sense roms are the fastest and some say the AOSP are the fastest. Try what you like and use it. The real differences is in the interface. Bluetooth is definitely better supported on CM.

I found my best battery life AND speed were with Ruby ROM 2.0.2 with Launcherpro. Cyanogenmod 6 is good too but had tons of features I didn't use. Invisiblek kernels are a great addition to AOSP ROMs.

I've been running MIUI 1.1.26 with invisablek #28 for a while now, w/o setcpu and while I wouldn't say it's the fastest combo (not that it's slow) its is the most stable my phone has been since I switched from Virtuos using stock kernel.
After setting up invisablek #28 and wiping battery stats it did take a few days of crappy battery life until it started to kick butt. I can get thru a 10 hour work day of moderate web surfing and constant music playing and still have at least 20% battery left. And if I run with the 2150mah extended battery forget about it.
I would definately recommend giving MIUI and invisablek #28 kernel a try. It has the faster charging the stock kernel has and runs smooth and stable. The launched takes a bit to get used to but you can always run launcher pro over it. Tried that but I love the MIUI launched too much.

Thats my issue with the CM line, it has tons of features I dont use (which could be flashable) and includes way too many localizations. I must admit I forgot about Ruby, it was the best in terms of speed. No lag, no hesitation, smooth as butter.

Launcher Pro doesn't extend any battery life on any ROM I have used it just a different launcher but one of the best ones I have used so far.

If you aren't attached to the Sense experience, the don't even hesitate to try out different ROMs. I gave up on Sense after a month of purchasing the Dinc, tried out CM6, tried out MIUI, and now I've been "crackflashing" CM7 since January. A lot of people are experiencing really good battery life. Can't say so for myself since the Dinc is my main computer, but I would certainly say that it is the fastest ROM I've tried.
Do a nandroid backup. Try out a bunch of new setups. Restore the nandroid if you aren't happy. Simple as that--when you're rooted you can do a lot with these devices.

I will say that CM's GPU performance is better than that of the Incredible's on 2.2. My guess is that this is due to CM's release using more recent drivers for the Adreno 200. I've tested this with both benchmarks and games.
On Sims 3, owning the largest house makes panning/zooming is a virtual crawl on stock Sense, even with a good custom kernel. On CM7, it's playable, a huge difference. Quadrant advances/profession GPU score (not the worthless combined score) is nearly 150 points different. To give a perspective, it's 280 to 410 on average, which is a huge jump.

[Q] Fastest Sense 3.0 Rom or Fastest with 3.0 Elements?

Really happy to see all the new roms poppin' up with Sense 3.0 features. Can someone recommend a good one for me. Preferably fast and stable with solid GPS.
Thanks.

I don't run it but the Alliance Kings Rom v7.3 is getting good reviews from users. It's a 2.1 sense base with 3.0 rosie and King has incorporated alot of 3d widgets. To me that's better than trying to run Kingdom but that's JMO.

Really going to be trial and error. What one person considers fast and stable, another might not.
Flash one, use it for a week or so, try another and use for a week or so... etc.

It's not. i love alliance and what i currently use but Mikg is a much more faster and stable rom. Keep using alliance for the rest of the day and you will realize plenty of lag issues and widgets locking up.
I use it because i love there stock rom. its clean and dark. Mikg is much more faster but lacks some 3.0 elements such as the carousel rosie and some widgets i enjoy using. and the rosie for Mikg is that boring grey one and the themes they have for it have been getting some negative results, but thats because there still in beta.
im more of a look guy as everyone knows so i would still prefer Alliance 7.3 but looking for quicker and more stable and not so much looks then Mikg

The best and most stable rom

I just rooted the EVO with 2.3.3 now I'm trying to get opinions on the best and most stable roms available
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Personal preference. I would say try out the ones you are interested in for about a week. Then go back to the one you liked the best. Or just use one till you find a glaring issue with then switch. I personally tried like 4-5 different roms they all seem better than the stock rom but I like CM 7 the best.

If you like AOSP (vanilla android), then Cyanogenmod 7 is pretty cool. It's one of the few AOSP ROMs with WiMAX working and HDMI mirroring.
If you like Sense, check out Synergy or Kinged Shooter. Both of those ROMs are pretty sweet. Synergy is a mix between Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0, and shooter is a pure sense 3.0 ROM (Evo 3D port to be exact).
As already stated though, only you know which ROM is the best, just go out there and find ROMs you might like, back up your stock ROM, then start flashing!

Most stable? probably the stock rom

I'll join the bandwagon by suggesting CyanogenMod. It's a beautiful piece of work, it has a great set of features (you can move ANY app to the SD card! you can refuse apps' access to specific permissions! you get a free wifi hotspot!), it's amazingly stable, and it's FAST (faster than the stock Sense ROM).

Definitely go with MIUI. It is stable and takes up only 80 MB on your device memory.

I can't vouch for very many roms, and the stock one is definitely the most stable, but I have used cm6 and 7, damagecontrol and damageless, and decks.
The damageless rom with a netarchy cfs nohavs kernel was just as stable as the stock unrooted. And much snappier, as you can freeze sense and use jit. Ill probably go back to it but right now I'm using decks. 1.13b2, and its... just... so... fast...
I was a big user of the camera so I miss the sense camera, and 1.13b can be a little shaky at times but 1.12 was probably the best for general fast task switching use. I'm falling for aosp harder each day
Sent from my Decks Evo. Quickly.

[Q] Synergy ROM RLS1 user, looking for faster and updated ROM

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
