I have a coworker of mine that needs his evo roots and either a new keneral or rom installed on it.
I would install the newer sense 3.0 but he needs something that would last 21 hours or more working in the field.
I installed Fresh Evo and A power save keneral on his old evo around 6 months ago.
I am wondering if anything new has come out that would be better or similar to custom roms and kenerals that I installed?
(Also would I have to flash a new recover to run the rom) <-- doesn't matter I will read up on what ever you guys post.

Anyone? By Lifetime I meant Battery life
SCREW WORKING ITS HURTING MY BRAIN.
Try a aosp rom they have great battery life

Synergy Rom. Also buy an extended battery that can be used with the factory battery cover. Don't flash the Synergy God Mode, flash RLS1 without God Mode. God Mode is hit & miss with people's phones and more people (including myself) have much better performance with regular Synergy rom without God Mode.
Another thing is you can also flash the Sense 3.0 Carousel Rosie if you want or you can leave the stock Synergy risie.
This is the Rom I use and it has been the fastest lag-free and most stable EVO Rom that I have used. If you want HTC Sence then Synergy or MikG Rom is the way to go in my opinion.
Pair MikG with ChopSuey kernel. Amazing battery life. Two days strong battery life with moderate usage and factory battery.
Best recovery: Amon Ra 2.3 by far. Just need to wipe everything (well, except for SD card of course.
And of course: radios. Depending on cell standby draining his battery, you may want to downgrade/upgrade radios. There is a big thread in EVO Development discussing "Fix Wakelock" a combination of radios and GPS fixes.

I haven't flashed in months and never tried flashing any ICS roms yet because from what i read so far that ICS is nowhere near as smooth as Gingerbread roms. Of course it been about about 4 months sense my last flash.
Can ya bring me up to speed on these new roms,is ICS as smooth and bug free as Blazer 4.0 GB,what doesn't work in MIUI and CM9,or should i just reflash Blazer 4.0 for smooth/bug free rom?
I need to reflash because my son dipped my phone in toilet today and power button doesn't work except to turn on the phone,so im starting to think that its software related,hopefully flash will fix it.
Oh,i used that app that tells me if my Epic is in ICS Brick danger,the app says it is,are the chances great for it to get bricked with ICS rom if i flash it right?
Thanks in advance.

I can give you my opinion- I ran blazer 4.0 and 4.1- flawless roms- besides smooth, fast and efficient. I tried the Blue Kuban- had no mms, no internet and force closes. So in my opinion- still in beta mode- not yet polished. I tried blazer ics- no problems- except had no boot to recovery- and no theming yet- so- I would say- blazer ics is more stable than blue k. but
not as intricate- bricking will come only if you dont follow flashing directions- c a r e f u l l y. read- read- and read again-
watch video ( thnx to qb king 77 ) and in no way do I mean to offend any developer whatsoever- I have much respect for the tough and creative jobs they do ! But I went back to 4.1 blazer- for now...
im also wondering this! can someone comments on battery life of aokp and is it compiled from source.

AOKP "based“ on source, we don't have source for this phone yet... battery not bad really.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Super Galaxy rom yet. It's very stable and has great features.
Also, running any aokp/aosp roms will have small glitches and qwerks to them. As long as you can deal with the small things, aokp/aosp can be the best rom. My suggestion is to run something else until Samsung releases source to build aokp...

I've been running Blu Kuban since it dropped and I've had nothing but smooth sailing. It's an amazing ROM with incredible development support. You can keep it as simple as you like or customize it to your taste.
All ICS ROMs are basically beta because we don't have source, yet. But there are more than a few fantastic ICS ROMs out there that are very suitable for use as a daily.
Just read through the Development section and try out a few, that's the best way to know what works best for you.
Tnz Blend rom has probably the best battery life. But in terms of smoothness, nothing can top blazer. IMO

Thanks,just what i needed to hear.Is there any big differences between 4.0 and 4.1?Because i already have a modded 4.0.Is it worth the trouble to upgrade to 4.1?
Ive been flashing roms for about 3 years now, came from an HTC Hero to this phone,, I don't get it, None of these rom's offer more speed then the stock rom and its bug free...

We had this debate before on here,as far as i remember the verdict was that Blazer is more cleaner with fewer mods making it more stable,while Calcun's has more mods.
I went with blazer because i like my roms light weight,with not to many added scripts and bug free.I been running it for about 4 months and Blazer had me forget about flashing intill stable ICS is released.

I think HTC and OG Epic roms are more how should i say it-internally modded/coded.
Blazer and other roms are better than stock because devs have removed Carrier IQ spyware and alot of other junk and made a few mods to them,so they are definetly better and have better battery life.
cm9
Just trying out blue kuban after being on cm9...loved cm9 but battery was terrible due to the kernel...lets see what blu kuban can do....so far, very fast, lots of options and very blue. Great ROM.

Parnoid Android 1.5 gets my vote. Tablet mode is really sweet. I flashed it a couple weeks ago and haven't noticed any bugs at all.
Ok,i think ICS is stable enough now to try.
Would it be safe to say that Phantom Blazer is one of the best and most stable ICS roms?
Gotta give dazednconfused's wicked sensations a try! Super fast, buttery smooth, and good battery to boot! Plus really nice theming.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Your experience will be what matters. My preference has been Agat's slightly themed/modified ROM and Blazer (going back to the best GB ROM ever - in my opinion). BluKuban has great support and loads of 'pickable' features. AOKP and CM9 are super customizable - by you I mean, you'll have to figure out how you want it.
If you take the time and read through the stickies AND followup posts you should be good to go.
Flash a few. Try a new one every other day or so; I did. I'm a stickler for the basics working first (making calls, email, sms, mms, GPS and calendars) then adding the bells whistles and tweaks as a secondary but nice thing.
Blu Kuban is definitely the top dawg at the moment, although the new ICS Blazer probably comes pretty close.
hi evo owners, my girlfriend has an evo 4g and she is always complaining about how slow it is and how fast her battery drains. (she's a pretty heavy user)
so i come to you guys for help..
which ROMs are you running that are showing the best battery life i can get out this thing and are they stable for day to day use. (being as its not my phone and she knows nothing about rooting. i wont be able to follow updates as ofter as i do on my GSII)
Im just looking for a great stable build with the best battery battery life.
any and all input is really appreciated, thanks

Swagged out stock is a clean fast Sense 1.0 rom that i've been using for months. There's a lot you can customize so you can get some better battery life. In general, the stock battery is what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258932
I like any of the sense 1.0 roms for quickness, battery and responsiveness. Classic rom, Digital Karma, Nitrous. U use Set CPU and make a profile for screen off. Use power save governor if kernel allows so while locked it will only run at lowest speed. This is helpful on any from though. Hope this helps.
I feel more like I do now then I did then.
I've been jumping back in and forth with JMZ's CM9 ROM and Cyanogenmod's CM7. I never had a Sense phone, so this was my first. After being with the OG Samsung Moment for about 3 years, until the developers fled, I was so used the classic UI. When I was introduced to Sense, I never stuck on to me. Luckily, I barely got this phone this year, meaning most CM7 ROMs were stable with ICS at hand. If you a Sense guy, I would recommend the Classic ROM or the Nitrous ROM. Nitrous gives more of the original Sense experience, but the Classic ROM gives really impressive battery life. It has a lot of available tweaks to play with. My ONLY problem with the ROM is the boot sound LMAO. I never thought i could hear my phone be that loud.
I, too, am running jmz unofficial cm9, & it's great for me but maybe not for her. The issue with battery life, however, is not the ROM; it's more likely the screen & radios that are killing it. My solution has been two-part: using Juice Defender to customize data activity, & larger aftermarket batteries (ChiChiTec - Amazon).
ive been using most of decks roms lately, but if i had to choose a reliable rom it would be synergy. its a little outdated but everything works.
Digitalkarma v7 fast smooth and everything works

Which do you prefer and why. I Basically want the pro's and con's. I know CM10 is not meant for our phones, heck even CM9 for that matter. So im curious... whats your flavor.
How long have you been using JB (either one) and what's your battery like. Or how did you make it better.
What modem works for you and why.
Let's see some screenshots of your battery.
Its not that its not meant for our phones but not officially supported
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Correct. But it does work better on other phones. But you are correct thanks for correcting me.
I am a big CM fan and after using the alphas I strayed and lived on the Unofficial CM9 nightlies for a while. I found those very smooth, but had sub-par battery.
After jumping back to GB for a month or so, I have played with both CM10 and JB AOSP. As expected, CM10 has more customization options while AOSP is very lean. Performance is very similar between the two as there has been a lot of collaboration between the devs and functionality is continually improving VERY fast with each update.
That being said, the only thing I miss on either ROM is bluetooth for media. Everything else that I use is working without issue. Some have reported LOS, but I have not experienced it with a clean data wipe and fresh install. I am still holding on to the EL29 modem, but considering trying a couple of the newer releases.
As for my preference, I am using JB AOSP as my DD at this point because I have experienced VERY good battery life with practical use CM10 seemed to drain a little faster, but it is coming along quite nicely IMO. Moving from Calks GB 3.0 to the JB ROMS lately has not been a dramatic transition in terms of battery and that is saying something.
I hope that is what you were looking for. Either way, IMO you can't go wrong test driving both and seeing which one does it for you.
Edit 1 (AOSP Alpha 5): Bluetooth media has been working since Alpha 4 and it is very stable. With Alpha 5, the screen transition from portrait to landscape (and back) is more responsive as it has been a little slow in the previous builds. This is a very nice build. The battery issue seems to be that the phone does not charge completely but shows 99-100% when disconnecting from the charger. Sbrissen has noted a potential battery fix on Alpha 5. I have not had it long enough to report anything at this point.

I've been waiting for a post like this since Sbrissen released the ROM. Think I shall finally give it a go and see how it runs.
cm10 ftw.
after using cm you'll find it hard to go back to anything else! (unless its aokp)
there is just endless customization options..
cm10 may have more features for me aosp is a lil better far as battery and smoothness i ran both for a lil over a day aosp is the winner
Check out SB's AOSP Alpha 3. All the reviews say it is coming along nicely (almost Beta)
I tried it back when it was private, and it was amazing (other than LOS, which he seemed to have fixed)
So I'm installing it again now.
CM10 vs. AOSP
Well, for me CM does the trick. And when I got the EpTouch and found out it was not supported by CM, I was heartbroken. The Epic Touch is such a wonderful device with its screen, and CPU power; granted there are a number of devices currently better than this phone.
I think CM is a better choice just for how well they support development. I have never had an AOSP ROM before, but I enjoyed being able to boot into recovery from hitting the power button. I even enjoyed playing with a few of the CM settings in the phone.
AOSP is just pure, 100% Android, and is great if that is what you want. But, I still want a little suprises here and there.
Cm is very stable for the epic. They are quite close to official I would say.

Well I was running the AOSP build and loved it with the exception that WiFi tether won't work. Can anyone confirm it works on cm10 before I go through the trouble of flashing?
From what I read, Wifi tether is not working on Jellybean right now and have been running CM10 Alpha 4 for over 12 hours now. Let your Rom settle. It takes time to set your accounts back up with syncing and will drain your battery the first cycle. The first battery cycle had 3 hours. I left it off and let it charge over night. I have now had it off the charger for an hour and half and am still at 87%. A huge increase since first cycle. In that same time I have a 1% Time without Cell signal (LOS).... I had this on GB, just b/c I have one tower about 3 miles away that I'm anchored to. If you haven't already I would recommend flashing the new FH13 modem as well.

Well, from what i read from your reply is, I dont know what im talking about , yada yada yada.... If you read a little closer it says wifi tether is not working on the AOSP build. I clearly asked above if someone could verify that it is indeed working on the CM10 build. Is that what you are trying to say? Cause no one here said they are having problems with syncing or other accounts.
Cm10 alpha 4 is running great, I was running el29 modem but I had some issues with Los, after I upgraded to fh13 I have not experienced any more Los. also turning off location services gets better battery in deep sleep.

Is it necessary to flash bootloader and radio also when flashing a custom rom?
Basically thats the only thing holding me back now because im not sure.
I've already unlocked and rooted,just not ready yet for a custom rom :angel:
I'm new to the Gnex too, but spent two years trying to get an ancient Galaxy Spica 5700 to run CM7...
Got the Gnex about a week ago, and immediately started looking around here. I chose AndroidME CM10, because it looked good, and in the developement thread no one seemed to have problems, and they said the battery life was very good. I can't remember if it's GSM only though.... Anyway I'm very happy with it, no probs at all, and battery life is good. I see that generally in America all you guys who use Google Now and all that and have different network frequencies complain about battery life, but I don't really use the phone that much, and with this ROM I get a few days with minimal screen use. There are also two other ROMs by the same dev, a modded stock JB and an AOSP JB. I like the look of the new Codename android 3.3.1, but in the dev thread too many people have little problems, and after years of limited functionality on my old phone I just want something stable and nice, to relax for a while. At least until I get bored...
RE baseband, If you look around in the forum (General forum I think,) you'll find a page all about basebands and with packages to flash them all. On my GSM I had to change the baseband, because you can't use the original baseband with JB.
I dunno what modding the Galaxy S was like for you, but based on my past with my Spica I'm loving my first Nexus device, it's all so easy! Good Luck
Thats so easy!!!! Just go for CM10, then change to AOKP, then go all in Paranoid, then just flash Miui and be happy :highfive:

If you've already received the JB OTA, then the bootloader and radio are already up to date. You could always just flash a custom recovery and SU. I've been running rooted stock since I got my phone
Whatever you're first custom ROM is, BAMF Paradigm will be your last, because once you flash BAMF, you won't want/need to flash anything else

Hey, I came from Spica too. That was so buggy and slow despite the attempts by various devs. Used it for 2 yrs. GNex is so much better.
Anyway for the OP. I wanted the stock experience initially. So i am on Android Revolution and stock kernel. Wifi reception is pretty poor. Many have reported that on different ROMS. Will have to try out different kernels or wait till google gives a fix. There are no other issues and battery life is good. But i am getting bored with stock. Might try Xenon HD.
Xenon is a great choice had it till the new MIUI came out. For kernels I have had the best battery life with james bond. Have not tried slim bean yet but I ran slim ics and it was great. I think the rom was only like 50 mb
