Hey guys just traded my epic for the evo 4g. Just want to know what the fastest roms out there are, and what kernal is the best for battery and performance. I am currently on CM7 Rc2 with tiamat kernal. Love it so far, but i wanna know about other roms that are comprable. Also, i noticed im getting a lot lower scores with quadrant on the evo than i used to get with the epic. Whats the deal with that?
Well the quadrant will be lower the epic is in paper better but I found the evo more usefull and for good performance and good battery like MIUI is really good if you don't care about battery life and welcome to the Evo forums

I don't know what that's about, MIUI gives the BEST battery life and performance. Higher quad scores with MIUI than with any other ROM (excluding CM w/ snap turbo but that's cheating anyways).
yea i keep hearing about cm with snap turbo, is that a cm7 kernel or just for cm 6? and i personally dont like the iphonish themeing of miui. Any good sense roms?
try new gb miui with tiamat gb sbc. you won't regret, I don't and I'm cm7 fanboy. this new miui is the shiznit
my biased opinion is mikfroyo 4.6b2 odex is the most fastest and stable ROM out. i use nets 4.3.4 kernels..

For full out sense I like Myn's, MikFroyo's, or Evo Elite. They are all smooth, fast, and stable.
For senseless I like VaelPak's 3.2 RC. That is a sick ROM, and very customizable
For AOSP, I myself prefer the new Evervolv Nightly that I'm currently using. It's the most stable Gingerbread build I've ran on my device (in my personal experience) Salvagemod is also a good AOSP rom. And of course CM7, which you're already running.
Just spend a week or two and flash every single rom and try them all out. I think I've literally flashed every single flashable ROM in the dev section. I love trying out new things.
I like MikFroYo the best. If you check out my MikFroYo based ROM I make it blue and red with and without colored menus. Enjoy and don't think any ROM you flash will be your last. Its an addiction.
hey thanks alot guys! i think im gonna give salvagemod a try and also mikfroyo.
I use Cyanogenmod 7 RC2. For the most part, it's working well. There's a few irks, like the camera unstable auto focus, that I can't get over.
Any AOSP rom's that have 4g and perfect camera working?

I want to fix my friend's phone up since he's still rocking Froyo. I have a Captivate and am not a noob. The problem is, he lives 18 hours away and he's here only for the weekend. He's not very tech savvy at all so I need to know a solid stable Gingerbread rom that won't give him any problems.
There's so much to read and I'm not that familiar with htc phones and I have a limited amount of time to read up. I can flash just fine, just need a good rom suggestion. Thanks guys!

Stock+ by Jermaine151 is the best, most stable, most appropriate for this phone.
If he prefers AOSP to Sense, then CM 7.1 is probably the best and most stable.
There is a lot of interesting Sense 2+ and kernel development, but I wouldn't go there if you need stability.
I saw Stock + and it looked good. He knows nothing about any of this stuff but I just hate seeing people using slow buggy stock crap. I know any custom rom would be better. Just need to make sure I give him something that won't give him any problems.
Sent from my Captivate with CM7.
I'm brand new to Root and tried nil's biz 3.0, CM7, Stock+, etc. and I'm loving McTwist v1.1. Super stable, fast, Sense 2.1 with some 3.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275008&page=1
Stock+ or cm7. I cant recommended 2.0-2.1 or 3.0-3.5 roms. They are too slow and cause too many problems.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Bugless Beast. It's stock, but it's the best ROM I've ever used on this device.
If he's used to sense, I don't think there's a better option than stock+.
I need a Gingerbread/Sense ROM with and emphasis on stability. Close to stock would be best though it isn't paramount. I realize that ROMs are like beers, you get a different opinion on which is best depending on who you ask. The circumstances just don't allow me to try out a whole slew of ROMs.
A good friend's wife has an EVO 4G (I have a Sensation, G2x & HD2) and is having trouble with stability. I suggested we root it and slap a custom ROM on it. While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.
I've tried a ton of sense roms, MikG still wins for stability and everything working for me.
I'm currently running synergy w/o sense lockscreen. Loving it. I've had no problems with stability.

Try EVO classic Rom. It's based off the latest stock Rom. It's fast and so far no trouble for me.

Thats the one. I used to use Synergy to but I found it to be a bit slower than MikG and Mik sees more updates.
If you go Synergy RLS1 is the newest version. RC2 is older and was an unofficial release I believe. I never had a problem with the lock screen on Synergy.

I've found Mik Roms to be the most stable as well as be current with the latest updates. Myn's Roms are excellent as well.

1. If she is having a problem with stability on a stock unrooted Evo then she needs to backup her information and just do a factory reset.
2. Trying out several ROMs is required because phones react to various ROMs differently. I can tell you that a certain ROM plays well with my phone but it may not play quite as well with yours. Then comes the issue of kernels. Kernels have a large impact on the phone's stability as well.
3. Tell your friend to do his own homework on how to get her phone up and running or have an affair with her so that you can see her more often and get more opportunities to test ROMs/kernels on her phone.
What version of Sense would you prefer?

I ran AOSP and CM ROMs on my G2X. Eaglesblood with Faux's kernel. CM and AOSP ROMs are actually my preference for Android in general. I am not a huge fan of Sense, it has some nice apps but its too confining. This isn't my phone though.

The EVO 4G has 2.5 by default I believe. I run the leaked 3.5 on my Sensation and it has some improvements over 2.5 and a couple over 3.0. If there is a very stable and fully functional ROM with 3.x that would be better. Stability and functionality still trump everything else though.
They mentioned that Netflix has to work as they use it often. Skype working properly with video would be good as well.

i agree AOSP Roms are a lot better, smoother, and allow for more customization, that's why the thread i made in my sig is only about them and not about sense based roms. plus whenever an ICS rom comes out it'll be AOSP
Hey guys, im new to all this rooting and rom stuff, so sorry if this is really basic stuff.
I want to root and put a custom rom on my droid inc 2, and I think I understand how to root now.
Now, I'm trying to decide on a ROM to flash after i root. I absolutely hate sense, and think its really clunky. I've been looking at the ICS rom thread, and somewhere between pages 50 and 100 something, people start talking about CM 9 for the inc 2, and all these different developers different roms, and I was thinking, which one is the best?
So, here is what I would like to see in a ROM, to help you reccomend one for me.(listed in order of importance)
-Smoothness
-Good Battery Life.
-CRT Animation. (I know, a little silly, but i want it so badly)
-Ability to customize different aspects without flashing too many files/lots of terminal stuff. e.g. boot animation, status bar colors.
If you know a ROM that fufills most of these requirements of mine that is not ICS, please let me know. Thanks.
Until today,no best,no perfect ics for Inc2.
Many rom is alpha,and beta,even don't have complete drivers for ics.
Miui all the way friend, its very smooth and customization are incredible. No flashing to customize just download to go. I recommend looking at the lock screen page that alone is enough to try it out.

Been using latest cm10 (jb). I'd say that fits what you're looking for. I'm a basic user. Battery life far improved over previous releases. Aeroevan ftw. Can't go wrong with his stuff, cm9 or 10.

Seeing as this was about a year ago, I assume you found a rom by now. That being said, I will be flashing the IC Tazz rom (sense free version) on my wifes phone tonight. Very stable and everything works. The cm9 and 10 roms have problems with cameras and audio issues. All roms have quirks, but some have more and more severe than others.

Hello everyone,
I'm new here and new to this scene, but familiar with hacking on other types of devices. My sis just upgraded her phone and gave me a Inc2. My first instinct was to hack it and so I ended up currently with a rooted S-off Inc2. My next issue is what Rom to use. I see so many out there and have had problems trying to install a couple. Since ther are so many, i know theres no clear cut "Latest and Greatest" but as i stand now, i have no clue where i should be looking. So I'm asking what u guys would consider latest and greatess. I'm really looking into going as high up in the OS as possible while also having the best stability with as much working as possible. Any Idea's?

What do you prefer? For ASOP, we have some very stable ICS CM9 ROM's and Stable CM10 Rom's. The CM10 ROMs don't have a working ffc camera or 720p camcorder, but everything else seems to work. For those who like sense, Nit's Sense 4 Viper Rom is quite nice. I typically change ROM's every two weeks, so i have tried quite a lot.
I vote for aeroevans CM10 or if you want ICS then Condemned Soul's Kangdemnation

Well I'm not sure wether to go ASOP or Sense but from what i gather most ppl prefer ASOP, so I guess i would also. I generally would like to have everything working also.
Another thing thing would be that would i need to flash anything else besides the rom? Like kernels or anything?

Most of the op's have it spelled out exactly what to do , usually they include the kernel in the ROM

Paranoid Android its a Phone/Tablet hybrid if you don't use the ffc or video that much it is my daily at the moment. "(11-4-2012)(JB)(CM10) Global 4.1.2 (4.2)" and "{10-25-2012}{Rom}{ICS} Official Global CM9" are pretty smooth running roms (I haven't had a chance to give build 3 of CM10 a try yet). "[ROM] [Port] Andromadus Mimicry 1.5 [CM9.1 Stable]" another very good ICS rom and very stable as well. Those are the ones I have been messing with the last couple of months. I think it is all in your tastes amigo. If you are a flashaholic like most of us I am sure you will try most of them.
ViperINC if you don't need BT audio. There are issues with the fact that the beats audio controls the BT audio and there is no output.
