[Q] Most stable AOSP Rom/kernel combo to put on? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just rooted my friends EVO and about to get S-OFF.
I want to flash an AOSP rom on there, and a kernel to overclock if necessary, I looked at the list but it seems like there's 50-billion options.
Which would be the Most Stable rom/kernel combo to flash, and is there anything else I should do to customize his beast a bit more? I'm looking at just official CM7 like I put on my other friend's eris.
Thanks for any help!

bumps.

you don't need to bump a thread if it's only 30 minutes old and only one other post has been made in the mean time....

Sorry, my bad.

Rom- decks : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078558
Kernel- Tiamat: http://tiamat-dev.com/supersonic/
You won't regret this configuration fast rom stable and kernel will provide you with about 14 to 28 hrs of battery life....

Just go to cyanogenmod.com click on evo and experimental. Get CM 7.2 it is a beautiful machine!

Do decks but with the latest Mason kernel...its based on tiamat but with more goodness

DigitalKarma v5 Rom + Anthrax Kernel = PERFECTION!

check out MIUI ICS over at the development thread with mason kernel v0.14. Beautiful rom with great battery life.

most stable rom

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?

with mikg yyou cant install a custom kernel cus tiamat and savagedzen is only for aosp and netarchys kernel is only for sense 2.2 and mikg is only for sense 3.0

ROM Recommendations.

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.
Shooter Evo 4G
Cm7 latest version with Tiamat 3.3.7 kernal. Can get 24 hours depending on usage.
World peace with no regard for human life.
Whats a good sense rom thats stable?i mean everything ive seen has somethin messed up like 4g,sms errors...multiple bugs.i need something stable,where u dont need to keep flashing back n forth.froyo gingerbread i dont care my main concerns are a smooth performance with optimal battery life,i possibly wanna put in an SBC kernel....

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?
SNS Gingerbread v1.4.1
I like the SNS Gingerbread v1.4.1 because it has a smooth, simple look. Also, I noticed a little boost in battery life.

Maybe my first post was misleading,i want a sense base.

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.

2.5 is smooth as butter, I highly recommend it. That plus ChopSuey make for great battery life. I underclock to around 758 MHz and no lag for me

Just got to experiment, man. Try different ROMs and kernels and such, that's the beauty of Android (and especially the Evo Development, we have great devs!)

Flash -a-holic

So ive been bouncing around from rom to rom and I'm wondering wat rom is everyone using as a daily???? .. I'm a prime XL Guy and love tha rom as my daily but the battery life is way better on cm7 with tiamat or savaged ... trying to find the best rom/kernel combo for battery life... I love sense for the bells and whistles but love asop because of the battery life.... hmmmmm.. decisions decisions....
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
MIUI. It's pretty, has nice built in apps including an awesome theme manager (no social networking though, if you're into that), and you still get great battery life. It's not bloated, but I find it to be the intermediate between Sense and your typical AOSP roms. I've been running one version or another of it for almost a year.
Supersonic Evo 4G | MIUI | Tapatalk
My custom made cm7.2 kanged and compiled from source is my daily now, prior to that was my own modded version of decks 1.3 for sense mikg 3.0 or the classic and ics my compiled and frankensteined cm9 I have it on my evo and my kindle fire
We are legion, for we are many
I've been running the express beta for about a month now. Fast, relatively bug free, and I can get 2 full days out of my extended battery.
Edit: and it has 4G, wouldn't run a ROM without that...
Thanks for the replies.... I've tried the classic v005 and like it a lot... even tho its sense 1.0 it works.... was going to try the final RC mix rom from Jan 24th with the anthrax kernel v4 and see how it goes .. hopefully I get great performance as well as battery life.... since I'm a heavy user lol

Galnet Miui on desire HD. I flash the weeklies. Always wait a few days though. Sometimes a weekly is bad.

XDA: What are you using?

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!

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.

my list (with no surprises here, and no debates on #1 today please. you know who you are ):
1. SalvageMod
2. CM7
3. Decks 1.3d
4. Evervolv GB
5. Vaelek's GB
6. MIUI GB
all with a Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc
It's hard to swallow the fact that they were all stable ROMs over a year ago now...
Cm7 if you want wimax, aokp if you dont need wimax and want ice cream sandwich. If you go through sense withdrawal, then use the android pro widgets, they fulfilled my sense needs!
Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Will try out all.
