What Rom and Kernel is everyone using?
Curious as to know exactly what people on XDA are running on their OG EVO 4G.
I've found Decks 2.3.7 GB is the best GB Rom IMO but it is getting old, as in age.
*Best GB?+Kernel?
*Best ICS?+Kernel?
*Best Sense?+Kernel?
I would personally rather run ICS but I am so anal about my phone that the screen flicker when turning the screen off really aggravates me.
Just trying to get a feel which Rom is the "best" for you & why that is?
Thanks!

Currently Gummy ICS w/ the mason kernel
Best ICS: Rom is subjective + mason kernel
Best GB: CM7 + tiamat 3.3.7 / 4.1 kernel

Does it have the screen off bug like all ICS's do?
Nope. this is a solid daily driver. Only the FFC and 4G are inop. barcodescanner doesn't work for some reason and no HWA yet, but still smooth and fast as hell.
I have a guide for it. Click the Evo guide in my signature and at the end of the Original Post is a link to ICS MIUI Setup.
You may want to wait until after this weekend's update
I'm using MikG 3.11 with Underworld 0.3 kernel. Love the battery life I get but the kernel does make it a little laggy for some reason.
Currently using Shooter E3D and Underworld v0.4
I Have no issues, runs very smooth. Flash many a rom, always come back to Shooter.

Are you sure it doesn't have the screen off problem? Maybe its just my phone that doesn't exactly like ICS, there are so many ICS Rom's out there I cannot keep up with them. I will take your advice and wait until this weekends update and give it a shot.
Appreciate the feedback everyone!
Keep the Evo OG!
SOS X Odex with Underworld v0.4 non-SBC. Runs great, with the best battery life out of any set-up I've tried. Would get even better battery life if you were willing to run the SBC version of Underworld.

what is the most stable android 2.3 sense 2.1/3.0 rom? and what is the one with the best battery life?
sense 3.0 is synergy or mikg's rom.
how is the battery life on synergy's?
best battery life and the Evo are a contradiction. As much as we all love our phones the Evo's battery sucks plain and simple. If you like AOSP based ROM's there is MIUI and CM which should get good battery life for the Evo. If you like sense based ROM's any of the new Synergy based ROM's (Virus, Mik, Myn) should do you just fine. I am rocking Mik's 1.3 synergy based ROM and battery life is on par with my tricked out 2.2 RLS5

how is the battery life on this rom and how does it compare to mik's?
i would start with a fresh install of the ROM
- Factory reset
in AMON's recovery
- Flash Calk's wipe all
- factory reset
- wipe all cache's
- wipe SD-EXT
- Flash ROM
Then i would let it boot up and slowly add back your apps and use apps like system panel and spare parts to check what is eating your battery. High temp also saps the battery. Also turn off GPS, data (use wifi instead when applicable), always on data in mobile settings etc to limit your battery drain.

I noticed this, too, after the 1.02 or 1.03 update, I believe. Not as bad as you're mentioning, but definitely a drop off in performance. I also felt that the latest upgrade seemed to be a bit more Kathy than before. I've gone back to AOSP (Deck's) for now, and will probably check Mik's next iteration and see if things are a bit more sorted out.
One big change after 1.01 is the Mik got the Sense widgets updating more reliably, I wonder if that's the cause of the increased battery drain?
would using setcpu to underclock miks rom while the screen is off help increase battery life?

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?

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.

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?

I really like my dinc, yet it has been running slow and the battery life drains quickly. I was wondering if there's anything like a mod out there to make it fast such as a CPU overclock for dinc or V6 supercharger script which tweaks up the ram memory. I am running miui 2.1.2 GB
I haven't been around lately so I don't know if there's something new out there that can make dinc fast.

Not trying to do a plug right now or anything but my ROM is very quick and responsive. If you're really attached to MIUI, though, you should look around for incredible kernels compatible with MIUI. I was going to suggest Tiny's Incredikernel but I don't think any of his will work. I don't have time to look into it right now but I will update this comment with more info when I have a minute to search around.

Pardon my laziness but this is incredikernel: http://www.incredikernel.com/
To elaborate, a kernel is an element of the OS that does all of the communication between applications and the hardware components. The more efficient your kernel is, the more battery life and performance you will get out of your device. Incredikernel, specifically, is a kernel that chad/tiny developed for our beloved incredible.

MIUI is still an AOSP ROM, heavily modified though it may be, and the AOSP incredikernel works on it. I used incredikernel on GB MIUI way back when before ICS was released. The Gingertiny kernels are for sense-based ROMs, the Incredikernels are for AOSP-based ROM's. They're excellent kernels, and support cool stuff like overclocking, undervolting, USB fast charging, etc. I highly recommend them. You'd want the latest Gingerbread (AOSP) kernel for MIUI GB.
V6 Supercharger also works on the dinc, I never used that with MIUI though.
I recommend Pons's cm10 nightlies which is now being compiled by Tiny(he has his own thread). Its super quick and extremely functional. I havent had a single FC or crash or anything. My phone is 50% supercharged from v6 supercharger(because last time I modded the services.jar I had to restore from nandroid) and its super smooth. I am very happy with it and my DINC works faster than my roomate's htc onex.
Thank you guys, for all your support. After flashing the latest incredikernel for gb, I feel like it's running smoother than before.
