Recommend me a ROM - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having used Fresh 4.0.0.4 and CM7 in the past, I'm looking for a ROM with the following:
Stability - no random reboots, crashes, FCs
Speed - doesn't have to blow me away performance-wise but would be nice not to have lag when swiping between screens
Functionality - everything works, 4g, bluetooth, camera, etc
Good Camera/Camcorder - I'm sick of the crappy audio in the stock camcorder (AMR 8000Hz mono 12kbps) and I've used CM7 in the past with much better audio in the camcorder (AAC 16000Hz mono 96kbps)
Smart Dialer - Whenever I use an AOSP ROM I miss the Sense-based smart dialer way way way too much. The GO! launcher and other workarounds never suffice.
I'm open to any/all suggestions, TIA.

I asked about the audio on that thread and while it's still not clear I suspect that the stock camcorder is all they've got which means crappy audio.
And by crappy, I mean Nintendo-like quality of AMR 8000Hz mono 12kbps.
If you've never heard the EVO actually record good audio then do yourself a favor and download Tape-a-Talk and up the settings to max quality to see how good the EVO can record versus what we get in the stock camcorder.

I use Deck's CM7 ROM as my stable backup ROM. Everything just works! Battery life is excellent as well.

I agree Decks is the most stable AOSP ROM.

Digitalkarmas v7.77 is my favorite of the GB roms. everything works and its quick and stable. Not sure about the audio issue, I dont record video with my evo much.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid for 3-4 days now and really happy with it - makes the phone into a tablet and its ICS. No 4g though, and probably a couple of other missing components because its ICS (they are all missing things.)

mikg or digitalkarma are both great

I highly recommend Digitalkarmas v7.77. I will swear by that ROM

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with Classic for now and using Igcamera instead of the stock camcorder. Gets me high-quality audio with my recordings and Classic looks like a perky little ROM. Only one random reboot so far but that was on force roam in a bad service area so I'm not blaming the ROM for that one.

The smart dialer feature was added to CM 7.2 and works pretty well. I missed the smart dialer when I started using Cyanogenmod and was glad to see it finally incorporated into 7.2.

I just had to stop in here and give my two sense. I was in love with Digital Karma's Jackpot Deluxe Rom, it was so sweet and one of the fastest I had ever came across
Good luck. Try them all out. I did, about 20 times.

you can use the link in my status for a good one. everything works, and Im about to adds speed tweaks, and if you want ill make the camera and camcorder better.

Close, there's really no point in these kind of threads, try some roms for yourself and see what you like.

I just want to talk.

I loved miui. The speed, the look, the feel. But i hate the audio issues. The Mic would often not work and the music also didn't work sometimes. Also every other camera besides the sense camera sucks. Basically i use my phone to take pictures, listen to music and make phonecalls. Since I could not do any of those things perfectly I had no choice but to switch to sense 3.0 BAMF . No camera can compare to the speed and quality of the sense camera. Plus the video works perfectly. And there was no stupid half green preveiw after you take a picture. The music works perfectly. With dolby srs. And so does the Mic. The only thing that sucks is how slow sense is. If quadrant is any factor- 2565 in sense 4190 in miui. But with everything working in sense you really can't compare the two.

quadrant means next to nothing. Personally I am running gingerbang sense and it seems quite fast. Not aosp fast but obviously no sense rom is as lightweight as an aosp rom. Check out gingerbang though its definately my favorite sense rom right now.

Lol. Love your header.
Sense speeds up if you turn off animations. Try it. You may be surprised.
I love AOSP - but on the original Incredible. This phone can handle Sense well.
And Quadrant means poo. My tablet scores a 6800 on Antuntu - who cares. lol.

I flashed this rom and now i cant use titanium back up as if im not rooted. whats the deal with this?
I have been using Synergy RLS1 since it came out. Love it, no issues. I use the STOCK kernel, no battery drain issues, no force closes on anything I have not had to reflash it since the first install.
I also have tried all the above, and they are all great. Synergy just has a few trinkets and features that are just downright cool.

The newer versions of SuperUser, you have to go to the app, hit menu and turn permissions on, then reboot.

Need info about the RIGHT rom

Hi, i have an evo 4g and i been using a few kinds of roms but there is always a problem with all of them and i can't seem to find the right one, all i need to know is which rom has sense 3.0, 3g, 4g, text, internet, calls, fair internal memory and an elegant or normal theme, everything else i'm expecting to work too, if anyone knows which one i should use please let me know because i need one ASAP. thanks in advance for the suggestions ​
Shooter E3D with v6 supercharger and KAK
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
MikG is Sense 2.1+3.0, which makes it incredibly stable. It comes with a stock theme, but there are many themes available for it. Highly optimized and has everything you want.
If you want a pure 3.0 ROM, I suggest Shooter. It's my second choice because pure Sense 3.0 ROMs have small issues which irk me, mostly extremely small graphics things. It is a great ROM though, and the dev is very involved iin answering questions.
Pair either of them with Anthrax kernel and V6 and you will be all set

thank you guys but mikg gave me a problem with the internet explorer, whenever i'm using it and try to watch a video from a website like - tailedfox.com - the internet explorer app closes, i installed other apps like dolphin and still the same problem, i had that issue with infected and king as well. shooter i havent tried it yet but i will, thank you for the suggestions i will look on it right away
Swagged out and Tommy's classic are my two favorites. They are based more off sense 1.0, but because of that are very stable and quick!

Shooter E3D rom for sure. Lots of themes to choose from. Flash niftyconiption tweaks and you will be pleasantly surprised. Really fast and smooth.
i found out that swag stock 2.0.9.7 is the most stable so far, or at least for me it it is

Best camera app

I have about 4 different camera apps on my phone. I would love to hey Rid of as many as I can to make space. what is your opinion on the best camera app in terms of both real time and post processing effects, quality, etc. maybe even one that can also do 720p video without stutter. I'm on mikg 3.11 ROM. Thanks...

I like the Nitrous, but miss the camera.

I would like to mention this is not just a themed rom. It actually has actual parts of each rom included in them which makes for a nice experience. This, in my opinion has been the first rom to do so. I haven't really messed with any other parts of the rom besides the Samsung Galaxy S III part but to my knowledge everything else should be working the same.

Now I'm gonna be completely blunt on this. I do not want a bunch of posts on camera issues blah, blah, blah. Unless you have a fix or can help. I don't want to see post saying it won't boot. If it doesn't boot for you then you did something wrong. I will not answer questions on the rom if you don't do a full complete wipe and don't produce a logcat. Just be thankful we have nice, responsive ics roms out there. I know we want everything perfect and every dev is trying to produce that but do not come at me with comments mentioned above.

My port was built by rasroygbiv, using aospX's last Alpha release as a base (if I recall) and used ICI Build 32/34 as its porting base. I'd suggest using the builds I make off of existz source. They don't have some of the older ICS bugs.
