Basically looking for some recommendations for a current ROM/Kernel setup. I have used quite a few combinations in the past, and I do not mind changing around finding good ones, I need stability now. Mostly it is now because my girlfriend has an Evo and I would like to flash her phone with something that is stable and not buggy. Any links / recommendations would be highly appreciated!
Sense Mikg 3.0 with lionfish kernel
Aosp Decks tiamat 3.3.7 (LEE kernel) with cod tweaks and vipermod
Sense 3.5 Prime XL 3D with anthrax kernel test version

If your girls anything like mine youll want to keep a basic clean rom so you don't have to hear her about little bugs lol
Mikg 3.0
Tommy's classic
Those are ready to go everything works shell be happy with either

Let me suggest Mik G 3.0. Great ROM. Running it on a lot of friends EVO's and no problems. Everyone loves their setup. Do a full wipe. Partition your SD card. Set swap to 0 i only set the next step to 600 or 700 something cant remember the exact numbers. You'll see when performing the task. Don't bother going 1 gig. Once done upgrade to partition 3. On first boot up don't sign into anything. Just click thru setup. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Restart in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Flash either a anthrax of lionfish kernel. After flashing the kernel re wipe cache and dalvik before booting up. Once again dont sign into anything yet and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Reboot and do you'r thing.
Chiming in with much love for MikG 3.0 and TommyTomatoe's Classic. Both OUTSTANDING ROMs if you want a stable and buttery smooth beast of a ROM.
For kernel I stand by aggressive freedom or lionfish (based on freedom)

I've been using DropZero's Radiance ROMs for a long time. The have always been smooth for me, especially with the Anthrax kernel

Sense Roms:
MikG/stock kernel works great as well as Tommy's Classic. If she doesn't care to overclock then you don't need a different kernel than the one that comes with the Rom. All can be found in the development section.
AOSP Roms:
I found Decks to be the best or CM7 with Tiamat.
Also a new Ram tweak script just came out and so far so good.

Searching through these forums, I was overwhelmed with all the ROM options.
I ask you, what are your favorite ROMs and what separates them from the competition?
minez are CM6 and Virus rom revolution those are nice CM6 because its something different big time and virus rom because its good on the battery and its fast
Good question.
Try them all and see what you like. It's all about personal preference.
I like Damage Control and Cyanogen Rom's
Also, this would be a good question to put in the Q&A rather than the development section.
i have tried them all and keep going back to CM6
OBTW this should be in general
Baked Snack, then CM6
If you want to ditch sense, Cyanogen is the way to go. If you like Sense, gotta keep it Freshhhhhhhh
Damage and fresh are the most popular sense roms
CM is the most popular senseless rom.
Force
I love Calkulin evio series rom. Then baked snack followed by cm 6
Sent from my Evo using Tapatalk.
Definitely like CM the best...but because 4g, hdmi, and fm radio dont work.....I run fresh's latest rom with toast/netarchy's kernel. I also like some of the htc and sense apps/widgets. Fresh is quick and stable for a sense rom with some extra tweaks in it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Most roms are good, although they are pretty similar so just go with whatever seems like the best to you. Damage Control, Fresh, and Baked Snack seem like the most popular. Fresh is a really nice and stable rom that has a great updater app. Baked Snack is my favorite though (atm). The optional kernels really make it great for tailoring your experience.

I've tried most of them also but Caulkin's is the whole package to me Fast, stable and pretty much everything is working. CM6 is great but with no 4g or hdmi I'll have to wait to they get everything working.
cm 6 is tight..
Sent from ANDROIKAY ON CM6 from xda app =]
No matter how far I stray into other rom's I try I always go back to cyanogen. It's just nice to not have sense. Even without parts working it's the best.
Fresh and baked snack are nice though. Especially with netarchy/toast custom kernel.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I switch between Fresh, Ava's and CM6. It's nice to have choices that don't take a ton of work to swap on your phone. These Dev's are awesome and do great work, so try them all and see what you like. You can always just do an nandroid restore and move on to the next rom until you find the best fit for you.
Damage Control has great battery life.

Like it says. What is your favorite rom and why? I've always been a cyanogen mod Guy cause that's what I first started on. Recently I've looked into alot of rom's, I just keep coming back to cm. Post link to your rom also please.

I Would Prefer an AOSP ROM,but last time i did that the PRL was outdated and my coverage was such garbage i had to use wifi.if i flash the latest radio and whatnot,THEN an aosp rom,which one?...im not big on sense,i have alot of apps,so apps2sd enabled is preferred,possibly a custom kernel but idk if the evo can even be safely over/underclocked.and also,i had an amazing experience with godmode in synergy,is there any other rom that comes close to that kinda performance...im being picky hell id cook my oen,but no PC.

How about for myself.
I have my EVO flashed over to MetroPCS and currently have Metrodroid2.2 running on the phone. Would I be best to continue running with that ROM, or switching over to CM7.1 along with a patch from the Metrodroid thread for MMS?
What is best for me?

Oh, sorry.
For stability, try MikG. No issues for me. I quite personally use r3chargeD, it is so awesome and I have AMAZING battery life. I think the update to come for it will make it impossibly awesome
ChopSuey kernel is my personal preference
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Give the latest SalvageMod AOSP ROM a try you can use Tiamat's SBC kernel if that's what you prefer. Coming from CM7, I like this one more.
Ive tried r3charged,i had multiple sms errors,now im on stock rooted deodexed,i havent had any issues.by stable i mean a RC that has no bugs.i know that may be asking alot,but i cant afford to not have all my features intact.also,i had issuea with multiple different AOSP roms,poor signal and weaker wifi,even with the latest radio combo pack....so im gunna steer clear of CM7.

Since us Evo 4G users can root our phones, what ROM are you using? What Rom is better/ more features 4G working etc???
With the new update is anyone using CM7 7.0.3?? What Roms are updated using the GB update?
What are you using?? Just curious and wanting to see the responses on the best of the best?
AOSP all the way.
CM7 latest nightly + Honeybread theme + Supercharger Script + Tiamat kernel 4.07 -75mv
Its definitely personal opinion really.
Most roms support 4G, etc. IIRC, MIUI doesnt support 4G yet but its in the works.
The choice mainly boils down to Sense vs AOSP. Sense 3 is quite appealing, visually (though I only played with it for about 10minutes =p). All in all, each has their pros.
Try out a few and see which You like the most.

Please stop saying it's in the works. It isn't, and won't be until they release the source code or they implement 4G in China. I'm not trying to be nasty, but it's just not happening anytime soon from what we know.
I use MIUI, and it's the best even without 4G.
I use CM7 rom, never look back.
MIUI
I use MIUI just because it's simple and it has a build-in tether, but don't like it because it doesn't support 4G and probably a whole lot of other stuff.

I am using this too. I was using the synergy rls but it became real unstable out of nowhere. I cannot blame the ROM it might have been the v6 script and 3g script. I have never had an issue with MikG. And I just 86'ed the scripts.
Sent from a long time ago in the future.
I'm currently using CM7 RC1, with tiamat 4.07. Love it but some battery drain.
My eye has been out on the new 3.5 sense roms tho.
SalvageMod 1.4 with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernel with v6 supercharger installed.
I love it!
I'm new to rooting and ROMs but I'll just throw out my noob/extremely novice experience over the past 2 weeks.
I've flashed CM7, Synergy, Kinged Shooter, and now I'm using SOS 1.9.
The only one I didn't keep on for at least 24 hours was the Shooter ROM . I had all sorts of lag issues (admittedly it was probably something I did and not the developer). CM7 is nice and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. I LOVED Synergy. Very nice ROM. It's a big ROM with lots of nice add ons and features. SOS is great if you want bare bones stock ROM. It has been incredibly fast, no lag and battery life isn't budging in spite of my increased activity re-installing apps/themes and what not.
I'll probably stick with SOS for a bit since it seems to be running so smoothly. If I go back to one it will most definitely be Synergy. It's been my favorite so far.
I'm using Nocturnal Bliss beta v.FIVE from King, Team Nocturnal, and several others who I can't name off the top of my head with ChopSuey 9.2.6 for the kernel. It's Android 2.3.4 with 3.5 Sense. It runs a lot better than any Sense 3.0 ROMs I've tried.
I don't think 4g works(don't have a lot in my area so not as important)
USB doesn't work(I use WiFi Explorer pro or recovery mount)
Need to partition SD card for more room(Darktremor's a2sd baked in)
Other wise it is a good ROM.

Can anyone verify this? Also where did you hear this from?
Wow!! Thanks for the responses. So many difference of opinions but that's what makes this site great..so the MIUI I keep seeing a debate about 4G....Ive read a lot on it very nice Rom....CM7 is what I use the 7.0.3 release for Evo. I'm using Tiamat kernel. Is there a better kernel for CM7? I thought of flashing the sbc kernel by Tiamat...I'm going to check out other roms as well.....this is fantastic. what is so different about MIUI?? It looks like an iPhone set up for android. Is it a small Rom or does it just come down to personal preference?

hey guys i have been looking around in different forums and on here and i haven't found anything about changing the kernel on the synergy rc2+godmode it is so laggy i want to overclock it and the savaged zen website is down so i cant download it from their mirrors. i used to have cm7 with savaged zen kernel with cfs and it was awesome the battery would last for about 2 days and it was fast never laggy now with this synergy based on sense 3.0 its really laggy i really like the rom but i dont think i will keep it unless i can over clock it or find a way to get rid of the laggyness. if anyone here has some advice please help i've search for a couple hours with out any result and this is my first post ever in the months that i've been a member. sorry for the long story i just wanted to make things clear on how i felt
Have you thought about upgrading to synergy RLS1+godmode?

Is rls1+godmode is newer/better ? Cause the rc2 has more options on the quick settings and stuff or so I've read, I'll try to read more on that thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
RLS1 (Release 1) came after RC2 (Release Candidate 2) so it is newer. Not sure what the changes are. You would have to look for a changelog to know for sure.
You can use the Freedom kernel with this ROM. Make sure that you get the Godmode version since that is what you are running.
Thanks alot I will download once home

hey thanks a lot I got the freedom kernel now with rls1 plus god mode its awesome I just have some issues with the over clocking but I guess I don't really mind those as long as I don't go over 1190 it doesn't freeze or restart
