Looking for the best Rom and kernel combination for my EVO 4G?

Hey guys what's up...ok so I finally got my evo rooted and I was able to try out a couple of ROMs....I tried so far cyanogenmod 7 and nyms warm twopointtwo rls5 but I noticed that my data would cut out and not switch over from 3g to wi fi and in cyanogenmod 7 force close errors left to right...what is the best kernel Rom combination that will provide the most features performance and stability? Now using stock rooted Rom...on a happy note I was able to put the Android peeing on Apple bootloader love it lol....let me know guys thanks

Personally.. I'm leaning towards Sense based roms more and more. They just have alot of the features I'm after and now that most are implementing other aspects of AOSP roms I'm finding more and more it's the way to go (ie. miui player, android mail vs htc etc, themed gallery etc.) I can make 2 recommendations right off the bat.
1. Koni Elite Series III - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941055
2. King Cocoa True Blue - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995410
I've played with so many roms I've lost count but I think with either one of those you'll find everything you are looking for. And I find that most themes will flash over them as well (Slayers cyan dragons and skulls theme is pretty sweet on koni's)
Every phone is different and not one seems to be the same as the next so as to recommend a kernel that is gonna take some testing on your part. I've given up on trying different ones as most cause nothing but boot loops and crashes. HTC #15 stock kernel plays the best for me. As for roms.. Keep on flashing.. It becomes addictive but you'll find what you like eventually. The work these cats have put into these roms are worthy of many a dollar so be sure to thank them for their work! Good luck , have fun!

thank you for the reply I really appreciate it...yes it is very true...rooting these guys is like taking away their chastity belts lmao....totally opens up the possibilities...i am super new to this don't even know what the good apps are and good folks on here helped me root my phone...definitely going with sence gonna check out those time in a bit

If you want a stable, fast and battery-efficient Sense ROM that cuts out a lot of the Sprint/htc cruft and still looks nice, check out Eternal Prophecy.
It has the best battery life of any ROM I've used and matches speeds with many of the best AOSP ROMs.
SWYPED from my Evo with Eternal Prophecy 5.8 ROM. Yeah I said Swyped.

ilove MiK and Myn
both are the best for me.

it really boils down to personal preference. there's no one true answer as to what is the best combination as it differs from person to person.
i'm enjoying CM7 with the Tiamat kernal. some people like SZ, some people like others..
yea, it's up to you.. try out a bunch and see what you like.

king Cocoa II
do your self a favor and flash King Cocoa II, awesome rom by Jamie and Jeff for his themes, jamie is an amazing developer of roms, I wish i HAD the time to make roms but having a company takes my time

By FAR for me:
The Ultimate Droid Rom with Savage Zen kernel.
(Fully acknowledged) CM based Rom....faster and flashier than any aosp roms I've tried since June 2010! Amazing

If you are gonna try gingerbread, give salvagemod a shot. Been using it for almost a month now and ended my flashing addiction

I've been running eternal prophecy 5.8 and have had the best battery life, and response time with that rom.

Went your route my friend Thanks for the input

CM7 + Tiamat kernel = 1day 9hrs battery life.
Fast, stable, good battery life, smooth....a perfect winner.

you should try Azreal x4.0 it is really fast and everything works

MIUI is very unique, runs on Gingerbread power. Warning - no 4G (yet).
Kernel is Tiamat 3.3.8 with SBC. I suggest that you use Kernel Manager, works pretty well.
Oh, and if you're a flashaholic, be sure to condition your battery. Charge to 100%, go into recovery and wipe battery stats, reboot phone, when it boots to the desktop unplug the phone and don't plug it up until the battery is fully dead. Then charge it to 100% again. Boom. Better batter.

Bored... Your thoughts?

Im running CM9, Came from an N1 (which i still think is a great phone). Anyhow, I do like ICS I think the GNex is nice device, but its somewhat boring stock, and not much better than that with CM9...
Im not sure if CM is just falling by the wayside, but the CM7 software on my N1 had sooo much more to tinker with (they really made android come alive)
What does everyone else think? Any nice ROMs I should be flashing that are more advanced in development?

Go bunjee jumping. Not very boring.

Try AOKP.

Also Liquid smooth has many tweaks and customizations you can try

CM9 is still being developed, they're still porting features and things over from CM7 as well as developing new features. They'll have a lot more when they're done.

And I know for a fact that AOKP had ROM Control first with a lot of these settings. Not calling them out or anything but a lot of ROMs share features (kanging source).

Try MIUI. Try the different ports from Xperia's to Sense 4.0 (although most of them aren't stable enough for daily use they can be played with for a day and is quite interesting.)

I think its just that back in the day Android, and the carrier customizations were so crappy that you absolutely needed to tinker with the phone to get it to work right.
I'm finding I'm bored too with ICS. It's because I don't need to do anything to it. Its like tinkering with the settings page of Gmail. "this is... good."

My thoughts? I think you should get a girlfriend… and spend less time with your phone.

AOKP has an incredible amount of tweaks.

Sounds like you need to flash a buggy ROM or two son.

Yeah doesn't aokp have a huge jump on cm9 with features? You really should try aokp. Cm9 needs more dev time.

AOKP has more features but less stability / speed.
OP, give this a shot: http://bit.ly/zg5fZw It adds some features to CM9 that allow for some more customization.

Some might call that bloat.

I am using AOKP for fast featured tweaks/mods and stable rom. I'll eventually jump back to cyanogen, after they reached RC1. Or maybe AOKP for Gnex, CM9 for sgs2. But oh well, after using AOKP, i tend to stay with it a long time without trying other roms. Its the best for now.

If you include the kitchen sink, eventually roaches crawl out of it. This applies to any rom.

HAHAA there is some funny [email protected] in here, I have already tried bungee... in Thailand over a pool, that was enough for me!
the CM9 is very stable which is great, just needs more stuff ported over. I wouldn't buy a phone unsupported by CM I've loved there roms in past.
Ill try some of these other you guys suggested...
Oh and to the dude talking about finding a GF... are you the Pot or the Kettle?

[Q] Best rom out there?

Hey guys how you guys doing?? well i hope your all good....i hope this is not a repetitive thread but i havent been on these evo forums since FEB and that was for my exes evo....i use to have an Epic now i am on here With an Evo trying to figure out whats the latest and greatest and most stable rom out there if its.....Gingerbread....ICS.....or MIUI i would prefer ICS but i i can wait if its not stable.... i need reliability....speed and great baterry life and some bells and whistles lol alright guys give me your opinion i am not sure if We have a tread like this but somebody should create like a poll were people vote on the best at that moment..just an idea thanks guys!!!

well here is my 2 cents
i have flashed almost every rom for the evo
most have ok batt life
for ics i have the cm9 5-11-2012 nightly and i have only gone down 10%batt since 6am this morning its now 12:32(no flashed kernel stock minus a theme)and its super smooth and responsive.
for sense i got the most batt life from digital karma v6 with more lionfish kernel 1.8 smartass v2 Governor would get a 1% drop every 27min or so with this config
and this is all with wifi on and facebook and xda throughout the day

Most ICS roms that i've tried aren't stable enough for me. I just tried MIUI.us rom last night and it was constantly rebooting my phone. The best ICS rom I used was a few months ago AOKP M4, but now that most ICS roms have HWA, all of them have their quirks, at least on my phone.
I'm using deck's reloaded now with the ics theme and it's really smooth, its a gingerbread rom, if you want the ics look and feel.

Hands down its.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612933

Best ICS right now is the CM9 Port. Very Stable and smooth as butter

Thanks man!! Update coming here soon btw

Depends on what you're looking for really.
In my experience, if you want a sense based rom that has everything you could ever want as far as functionality, performance, stability and aesthetics then you must go with Swagged Out Stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258932
This particular rom has 6 different versions available for you via the aroma installer.
You have sosX sosS and sosN versions both odexed and deodexed. Try it out you might not ever look at another sense rom.
If you're tired of sense and want something fresh with endless customization then you should check out Deck's Reloaded LOTK Team Dirt .44cal which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661605
This thing is stable, and LIGHTNING FAST!

What are your favorite roms?

Hey guys just wondering what your favorite roms are? I'm just looking to try out some roms, I need something as my daily. Tried Aokp, but Ics isn't stable enough. Went to a sense Rom, and I love the sense widgets and camera, but I don't like anything else about it.
So I'm searching for a Rom.

For sense I like MikRunny (running it now) but for ASOP stuff I have just run CM7 & CM9 with different launchers to customize it.
Sent from iPhone rehab device.

Skyraider Zeus is a good sense rom. Its virtually bug free and has quite a few themes and mods for it. Its my go to rom when I need it.
I'm not a huge fan of aosp... but condemned souls cm7 v1.5 rc3 is pretty slick. Also miui is a good aosp rom too... the last stable build is 12/9.
If your feeling adventurous give nituj17 ultimatekangbang a shot. Its sense 4 (ics). It has come along way! Nits did a stellar job with it! Its got a few bugs but nothing too major... the biggest being the stock camera. But... a free camera app will fire right up. Problem solved.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2

Stock camera working just fine here on ukb. Just set to 5MP

I also require a stable, daily use ROM for my job. Not a big fan of sense, if you're the same way check out cm7.2.
It's based on Gingerbread 2.3.7 and just got a fresh new round of updates. They brought in some ICS code and it's as stable and functional as ever.
Condemned Soul just updated his kang with the latest CM7.2-RC3. Slap the ICS theme on it from the market and it's a beautiful ROM

I wouldn't say no issues....Very close though and it has come a long way.
I run with CM 7.2 personally...

This phone offers so many good roms. Coming to this phone CM7 was my favorite rom. But after having the phone for a while and trying a lot of different roms. Here is a list of my favorites.w
#1 sense 4a Nitsuj did a great job it is so sweet and i know even better things are on the way.
#2 sense 5.01 w/4ext. Very solid and everything works perfect.
#3 CM7 another great rom where everything works and a lot of customization.

Nit's ultimate kang bang is great and really stable since he added the leaked Chinese kernal. I have had it as a daily driver for about 4 days and had 0 probs. Cam works and its awesome. If you dont like sense, you can always add a custom launcher. I'm running launcher 7 right now, but that will probably change in a few days anyway. But I have a problem, and I'm getting counseling.
Sent from my vivow using xda premium

Sense 4a is awesome and even better things are coming. I have been running it since the moment it dropped. Loving it!
Looks good Nick.

For Sense 3.5, I take Magnolia 2.1.1 final because it feels extremely smooth and awesome!!!! It has some minor slowdowns, but this always happens in Sense 3.5.
Sense 4, my favorite is nit's ultimatekangbang from because it is awesome!!!! He's really dine a spectacular job and came a long way since his opensense days.
Finally, AOSP goes with CM9 5-30 build all the way!!! Its stable to the point where its become my DD every day. If you can overlook the small touch issues here and there and a semi stable camera, then CM9 is the way to go.
Haven't looked at CM7 for a while, but definitely go for that if you're a newbie with Android roms.

New Roms
Try nit's UKB 3.01 or Relays newest ROM, all around great stuff by awesome Devs
Edit:
Stay away from Relay's Rom that runs 3.6sense it will bork you phone. Needs to be ported over by devs to work correctly if that's even possible

Gotta say nits ukb sense 4a! Not many issues. I am loving the way you rock launcher 7 with it looks awesome. Anyways aeros cm9 with his kernal is great! If it all flops cm7.2 and customize like crazy!

Thanks for all the replies guys! Wonderful community, and it looks like there are some roms I need to try.
Just a quick question, maybe it is just me but is sense slower than aosp?
But you guys have all convinced me to give nits sense rom a try.

Although it's older, SkyRaider Zeus 1.3 with Andy's ICS theme is pretty cool, super stable and fast.
I've been playing with CM7 lately. Very fast, and excellent battery life.
CM9 is awesome but has camera issues, and with a 15-month-old, I need a working cam.
I just flashed nit's TSM UKB.....so far, it's super sweet. I haven't put much time in yet. Nit is all over this, so even if there are issues, chances are they'll be handled promptly.
Tried MikRunny roms. They're good. It's really up to what your preferences are.
Ultimately, I'm having a hard time sticking to one. I think I'm addicted to flashing.

From my experience, sometimes. But often they can be more stable depending on the build. AOSP tends to use less battery. The file sizes are much smaller: @ 90M v. sense roms @ 300M

Favorite ROMs
I like Nitsuj17's Sense 4a Kang Bang... or Dinc2 HD.

I had been using virtuous unity 2.39 for a long time, and liked it. I would try CM7 occasionally but couldn't get it working how it should so would switch back.
Just switched to Nit's ukb sense 4a and I love it! I think I'll be staying with this!

I have bounce around among CM7, most of the ICS builds and just went to Nitsuj17's Sense 4a Kang Bang and it is amazing everything works well for me. The ICS killer for me in the past has been the stock camera flash, but now with that working this will be my ROM until the official ICS for the Inc 2 comes out.

Me too. First Rom I flashed was cm7. After that I went straight to cm9 and aokp builds. I really liked Evans cm9.... But this is my digital camera...so when I flashed Justin's kangbang Rom I fell in love. The good parts of sense without all the bloat and a camera that works. Justin is an awesome dev and seems to always be cooking something up with this Rom.

The criteria for my favourite ROM is the build where everything is 100% functional. The problem is I would rather use aosp as sense slows down any phone but it is flawless as far as the little things

Good starter rom...

I'm from the vzw note2, but have a friend getting the sprint variant. I use jelly beans b11, was wondering what a good TW based ROM along the same lines for sprint was? Been looking at Jelly Bomb (think it's TW), but can't really test any out until he gets the phone. Not looking to do a whole lot of flashing, just one solid run through for him to get started. Any input appreciated, maybe some key points to a few, or just personal opinions on what you use and why would be great. Thanks guys, in advance.
Current:
VZW GNll running B10, 6,200MAh Hyperion with a Dremel'd box of otters & iPad 2

Stock Rooted Deodexed with Perseus Kernel and he's good to go.

If you like jellybeans rom on verizon try nowizaospmod, runs smooth as margerine and is basically the same rom your on. Macks allstar 3.2/3.3 rom with perseus kernel is a go as well.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Cool, thanks. Yeah, you guys have a couple of things that our roms add because VZW decided we didn't need it (wtf, right). I love Beans, but mostly because of the aosp features and themes, as well as the options and debloat. When he was talking about getting it I didn't even consider the fact that beans wasn't on the sprint variant, heh. I'll take it into consideration, and keep reading around until the phone arrives, still open to suggestions and opinions though.

also, I have to admit as a disclosure, I hate "theming". not to knock anybodys anything, but it's what keeps me away from 75% of ROMs.
If you like themed ROMs, JellyBomb has a ton of views for good reason.

All of these are Great options, to be certain. (you can't actually go wrong with any of our devs.)

I had never seen so many people against theming as I have here. It's really the only reason I have a stock themed base (with the exception on 1% bat, pulldown, and got that yellow date on the lockscreen changed to white). Otherwise my base would be like green. On the ET most people wanted themes.
And btw jelly bomb was one of the first roms and the only heavily themed rom for awhile. Just saying, views aren't the only thing to base off of. I have seen a lot of people who had jb banners when they first flagged Lab Rats.... its all personal preference. If you want blue, then jb beats all. But LR has green, goodness, pink, orange, and soon to be purple while also featuring a stock base.

He loves the ICS Blue look of my phone (dialer, center clock, toggles, basically anything status bar related) said he wants that. Final decision is his but I can sway him with my knowledge, and know how of what means/does what. Definitely checking these out when I get to my computer, especially Synergy and LR. You guys have a plethora of roms, it's daunting. VZW development is catching up, we recently got Whomp and had Jedi for a little while now too. Still, i look through feature lists and see a couple things I'm going to suggest to Beans. Just released build 12 day before yesterday, got Xposed, Pie integration, couple other things. Rounding out quite nice. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, quite the help always good to see (instead of "search!"). I mean I'm looking around just a lot to look at and always good to see opinions.
To the mod: realized too late I posted in the wrong forum, sorry! I know better, too! Spent a few minutes looking in general when it clicked.
Also, I love ICS Blue (any theming in general, always sets us apart). When we had GB, I was all over green themes. Another guy at work has a sprint N2 he won't let me root (wuss, he'll cave after I hook up this one) and this prospective buyer loves the look of mine well over his stock. Thanks again guys, you're great!
