[Q] Which root has least Sprint crap, most stable WiMAX, and best battery use??

So far I have tried unrEVOked and AVA-FROYO V10.
unrEVOked is little bit behind on latest kernels and is stuffed with Sprint garbage. It did have great battery life with 4G and WiFi enabled (12 hours for me).
AVA-FROYO V10 was OK, very little Sprint crap... but battery life on it was extremely unpredictable (from 4 hours to 12 with cell standby chewing up most).
Unfortunately the latest radio update messed it up and now I need to reflash everything, so might as well look at other roots.

Do you mean ROM?

WRONG SECTION !
unrEVOked and kernels ? LOL

I am sure they will move it to the right section.
Yeah, you are right, I did mean ROM. Had a massive brain cramp, so I called it a root
Re. unrEVOked, hey, I had to start somewhere

I didn't have the best luck with AVA V10, but V9 has incredible battery life. Here is a link:

Whichever ROM you download, you can open the zip (don't extract), go to system>apps and delete any apks you don't want it to install when you flash it. Of course, make sure you know what apks you are removing first so you don't get problems later and have to end up re-downloading/re-flashing your phone.

unrEVOked is not a ROM, nor a kernel, and has nothing to do with battery life. Other than the superuser app showing up, it should not affect anything at all. It's a rooting process, specifically intended to unlock your NAND (S-Off, visible in the bootloader).
Popular ROM options are Fresh, MIUI, CyanogenMod. Fresh has fully working WiMax. CM is close. Don't know about MIUI, but it's probably not packing working 4G. None of them have any of the Sprint apps by default.
You can bake your own Fresh ROM with whatever you want included. CM doesn't even include the Google Apps by default (you can add them easily), so it's even trimmer.
Once you are fully rooted, and familiar with the nandroid backup process (and Titanium Backup), you can switch between ROMs fairly easily and make your own decisions.
To get started, root and then flash Fresh. Actually, wait a few days (but don't accept the current OTA if you haven't already), and install Fresh once it's been updated. Because it's based on stock with Sense, you can probably flash without clearing your data (DO clear your caches) and get off to a quick start.

Yeah, I am still learning this rooting process. I have very little time available for playing around a bit and no way in hell am I going to use time of my devs in the office. Hence me doing it the lazy way - asking you which ROM is the best for my needs and then flashing and forgetting it.
BTW, thanks for the advice so far. Saving me a lot of time!

MYNs is popular or if you want a stock one, I suggest looking at the ReEngineered Stock ROM that aamikam made. He spent alot of time fixing up the apks so that they are smaller in size and speeds up the ROM.

i would just find a rom that you like and run with it. the rom itself shouldn't make THAT much difference. from what i have seen, its your kernel that really makes the difference in batter-life and performance. Most of the bloat-ware in the majority of these roms can be removed pretty easily.
Myn has some great stuff for ROMS. Ava V10 (if you have bad battery, try a different kernel)
Here are my 3 fav Kernels:
Hero's Laptop Kernel (all i have to say is WOW)
Net's 4.2 or 4.1
King's CFS

ROMs:
Sense: Calk's or Myn's or for a pure stock feel try ReEngineered 3.70.651.1.
AOSP: Cyanogen Mod (No Contest)
Kernels:
I always stick with Stock on all the ROMs I have tried.
Have fun flashing man.

Try Azael X its very fast very little no bloat and stable 4G plus battery life is great he will update to 3.70 soon he's working on it now Rick is very picky about letting his roms out with bugs so he tests and tests before release

hi, im new to modding my phone. i had cm6 for a month then i tried omgb and now im at skyraider sense. im mainly looking for better battery life but i do not understand this kernal thing. can i flash a kernal and keep the same rom? how do i do that? is ultimate droid a good rom?
thanks for all the help

You can flash a kernel by simply downloading it and then going to into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache then flashing it. Kernels are what really impact your battery life tthe most.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

do i just hit install zip from sd card? how do i know what a good kernal is? is any compatible with every rom?

for cm and a 2.3 rom please

AOSP ROMs require AOSP kernels, same w/ Sense ROMs.
Beware installing an AOSP kernel in a Sense ROM or vice-versa.
As stated, flash a kernel in recovery by choosing the appropriate zip file.
I have used Sense and AOSP ROMs, depends on what you want/like.
I do like UltimateDroid, v 2.5 with IncredibleK's #18 - I get phenomenal battery life and performance to boot.
I can also recommend Ruby (AOSP), these two Sense ROMs: IncROM, and Incredibly ReEngineered.
All are stable, fast, good-looking, and great on battery.
ymmv

sense 2.0?

ok so i searched and searched but could not find a definitive answer for my question. is there a flashable zip to install sense 2.0 on a sense 1.0 rom? like the portrait and landscape rosie and htc hub deal from myn's warm z, on warm2.2 rls5 respectively? i flashed warm z and loved it, despite the lack of 4g, even though i dont use it much, i just prefer to have a rom that runs seamlessly, like my current rls5 setup.
any insight would be helpful.

No.

NO..
sense is not just a launcher or .. some app....
it is deep imbeded into the os...it is too tied into the everything.

Sense needs to be integrated with whatever rom your using

The answer is : no, no, nin, いいえ.

Mikz new rom has sense 2.0 and is very slick/stable. Highly recommend it.

So did it ever fix it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

nope. why do you think it takes a team of professional, full time, fully paid, talented developers (htc) to upgrade a phone? takes quite a bit of work...

I am Not saying this will work, but in this thread they have a flashable.zip first you install the 2.3.3 gingerbread rom (sense 2.1 stripped out) then flash the zip to add sense back in. (Could try just flashing the sense on the 2.3.3 Evo Leak to see if it upgrades)
Now the landsacpe piece dosen't work yet, and there are a few other glitches with 2.3.3 until a kernel is released, but if your bored make a nandroid play around

[Q] Help with Sense to ASOP ROM

I have searched the XDA site and the internet and I cannot find an answer. I am a newbie and I have been trying to find an answer for the last 3 days. Here is what I am trying to do:
I am looking to install a rooted Sense ROM on my Sprint HTC EVO. The phone is already rooted and I am running CM7. My question is, can I just flash a sense ROM coming from a AOSP ROM like CM7 or is there a different way I have to put a sense ROM on the phone?
Second part to my question: Do you reccomend a particular (Rooted)sense ROM?
Thanks in advance.

No different way..Just wipe data and cache. I'm using Eternal Prophecy and I like it...good battery life.

Yes. You can flash it just like any other rom Just put the zip on your sd card and go into recovery. Be sure to wipe everything. Even 2 or 3 times. I can't link it because im mobile but search for the vr superwipe. If coming from an aosp like you are you may have to apply the gps fix to get it working again. And as far as recommendations, I would go for Myn's twopointtwo or Koni's Elite III. If you want the look of stock without all the bloatware go for the Sprint lovers rom.

You probably didn't find a straight answer because you don't need to do anything special to flash from an AOSP ROM to a Sense ROM. Make a nandroid backup, wipe everything, and flash away.
Now your question about which Sense ROM to flash, I'm sure there's plenty of threads on that. The most stable Sense ROMs are still Froyo (2.2) w/Sense 1.0. But there's plenty of Gingerbread w/Sense 2.0 or 3.0 alphas and betas. If you don't want to be a tester I wouldn't mess with them. Just go to the Devolopment forum and pick a ROM with the most replies and most recent revision. That's how I started. That way you know you have an active developer and userbase.

[Q] The FASTEST DHD ROM?

Hi guys,
What is, in your opinions, the fastest ROM for DHD, Sense or nonsense? I'm currently using Virtuous Unity 2.35 which is quite fast, but I'm wondering if there is anything faster.
Also important to me is battery life.

i will say...ARHD 5.2.6........---almost 2 days of battery life with MY regular usage......

Well if For Sense roms You can Try the leedroid
and android revolution hd
For no sense of course cyanogenmod
Remeber to always wipe before installing a new rom
Not always its necessary but for a clean and fast install

I'm using RCMix 3D bliss with sense 3.5 from capy, running very well until now, just BT don't turn up

hydrogen mod does it all for me. blazing fast, battery life can be great depending on kernel and its lightweight. cm7 - crap. you can feel the difference imho

No jerks!

Im also running RCMix 3D bliss with sense 3.5 from capy, i think it is running really well and its running pretty smooth.

Most non sense roms are pretty smooth and fast, while every sense rom i've used has been slightly choppy - especially with the app drawer. (Installing a custom launcher fixes it, but it kinda defeats the purpose of using a sense rom)
I would recommend pretty much any cyanogen or miui based rom for speed. (Scrolling homescreens is much smoother, and benchmarks are around 1.5x higher (with quadrant standard - most sense 3.0 roms get around 1.5k @ no o/c, while rd-miui and hydrogen both get 2.2ish), but there actually isnt much of a difference in gaming - laggy games such as fast five lag (it pretty much runs on the same FPS on most ROMs i've used) regardless of what rom)
The only problem with no-sense roms imo is the lack of a proper camcorder - i have yet to see a camcorder with touch to focus support

I must say the perfect ROM doesn't exist. RCMix is somewhat acceptable, ARHD and Leedroid are very good ROMs for day to day use, but now I'm stuck with Virtuos Unity, which does the job flawlesly regarding smoothness, battery life and so on.
In the end, you must decide what's the best ROM for you

as far as i have seen, the best rom has to be determined by you, whether you want looks, or just speed..
i have tried many different roms, and they all have their ups and downs...
Stock Looking ROM
at the moment i have been using Android Revolution 5.2.6, and just upgraded to 6.1.0 with Sense3, this rom is veryfast and of course has Sense3 and has little battery consuption, i am very happy with it..AR is very simple and looks like a stock rom, but with a few tweaks..
TB and Synergy ROMs also are good, if you looking for stock look..
Good Looking ROM
but if you want some "eyecandy", try Coredroid.. version 7.5 looks awesome, but drains abit of battery, version7.6 has sense2.1...and version8 has sense3 both are very stable and good on battery..
RCMix KINGDOM ROM is also impressive and looks good, but i have yet to test it..
Simple
if you want real simplicity i would go for CyanogenMod Roms, they have good battery performance as they dont have HTCSense...
but also remember to use the recommended "Radio" for the ROM you install, as this can have a huge impact on your ROMs battery and performance..
what i have done is purchased an app called BootManager (ROOT required), and it allows you to have your main ROM, as well as 4 other ROMs, you can install on your SDcard, this way you can install multiple roms and test them out to see what you personally prefer..

Personally no ROM has even come close to having all the features I would like until recently. None were as fast or as smooth as I would have liked.
Then along came the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 releases. Every one of these I have used (they have all been Sense ROMs) has been graphically smooth and fast to use/respond. I'm loving the rotation animation in Sense 3.5 - A small feature that I have wanted for a very long time.
Battery life seems to also be improved since I recently flashed Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M and it's matching RIL.

- If you want a ROM with Sense then check out ARHD.
- Want something that's super fast and light? Go with CM7
- Want something that's super fast and light, and has eye candy? Go with MIUI

hi guys,
first off im not very good when it comes to this sort of thing,ive jailbroken an iphone thats about it.recently i bought a dhd and it has virtuous unity 1.31 and android 2.3.3,im happy with this its working well but reading about all these roms and how easy people are saying it is to change them i wanted to try something different,i like sense and i would like something that looks really good,what would you recomend and more important how do i do it,thanks and sorry for the long post!

- Find a ROM
- Download the ROM
- Copy the ROM (the Zip-file) to the SD card
- Open ROM Manager
- Hit "Reboot into Recovery
- Choose "wipe data/factory settings" (you only need to do this if you are flashing a new ROM. Not when you're updating)
- Choose "wipe cache partition"
- Go to "advanced" and choose "wipe dalvik cache"
- Press "Go back"
- "Install zip from sdcard"
- "choose zip from sdcard"
- Find the ROM Zip you downloaded
Wait for it to finish then hit "Reboot". Now wait for it to boot up, and voila! You're done.

thanks alot for the quick reply,your instructions seem very straight forward,will i lose my contacts and pictures and so on?and is there any way i could mess the phone up if i do it wrong?

Yes you will. So back it up before you start. Use Titanium Backup or something. Just remember that everytime you do a full wipe you'll lose everything. You won't lose anything when you wipe cache partition and dalvik cache

That's great thanks,one more thing I've noticed 2.3.4 and2.3.5,if the ROM I choose is for one of these will I have to update first or will the ROM include it so I will only have to flash once?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

You'll only need to flash once. If the ROM is 2.3.5 then it's 2.3.5. If you flash a ROM that's 2.3.4, then you'll get 2.3.4.
Edit: If you flash a 2.3.4 ROM and want 2.3.5 then you'll have to flash the new ROM and wipe the phone again. If the ROM you're using updates from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 you don't need to wipe everything but it's better to do it so you won't get any weird bugs or anything like that.

Currently ARHD is the fastest with the official sense 3 base
