[Q] Cleanest 2.3.7 Rom - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to run a super simple and clean GB 2.3.7 Rom on my EVO 4g and im looking for recommendations.
I used to run SalvageMod w/tiamat 3.3.7sbc and loved it, everything worked perfectly. I cannot find a download of it anywhere though.
I dont really like any of the ICS ports and i hate the stock ICS email app and still really love the stock GB email app.
I would prefer something other than Cyanogen and the terrible battery life i get out of it...

Does anybody know what the gapps-geeked are on the salvage-mod downloads page, http://code.google.com/p/salvagemod/downloads/list

Gingerbread 2.3.7 (KushDeck's) Most fastest, quickest, smoothest minimalistic GB Rom available for the OG Ev0

CM7 is the best gingerbread rom out there right now IMO. Very stable, loads of options.

And not in any way stock.

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

Why wouldn't you want to improve upon your self?

I don't even understand source much less can I build from it. I was just saying I don't understand why they use adw. I was looking for someone with a reason like well you can change setting by going to _____ menu. Or something like that.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

[Q] Which ROM?

Alright guys I feel like I've flashed like ten different senseless roms by now with no dice... I'm looking for a Rom that has the gingerbread look and feel of OMFGB, salvage mod, or cm 7 but that still incorporates sense features. The sense features I really want are the contact list with Facebook sync and the camera apk..... with the sense camera a user can tap the screen where they want it to focus.... this is a big deal to me and all gingerbread roms so far can't do these things.... the closest thing I've found to my liking is skyraider Athena but unfortunately Athena is froyo...... I want gingerbread. Any help?

I agree, if you're still wanting sense but with a couple cm7 features then skyraider fits the bill.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The above statements are factual.... Skyraider 4.0 is the way to go
Alright....so Skyraider is a bit too sense-y for my liking....I didn't want full sense but rather sense apps....BUT I actually forgot posted this thread til just now and hadn't seen any replys..I actually ended up flashing Skyraider 4.0 before I even saw recommendations....let me just say this is the best Rom in the world. I didn't like sense because it was laggy but the way that sense is incorporated in this build is beautiful. I flashed chads 12/23 kernel on it and the combination is awesome...and it runs seamlessly while underclocked to 844! Plus my battery life is just beautiful compared to other roms....and no overheating problems! I have found my phones god send lol.thank you guys for the help and to anyone reading this thread that hasn't tried SR 4.0 I really recommend you give it a shot. Thanks guys

Not sure if you have tried it yet but you might want to check out Lou's #8 kernel for your SkyRaider. I had really good results using it, but you millage may vary.
Lous kernels confuse me....I don't understand all the multi touch hocus pocus
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Multitouch is just the ability for the phone to recognize 3-10 separate touch points simultaneously. Only use I know of is for gaming with emulators where you have your controls on screen.

Its older but a good senseless rom is skyraider athena. Get it on rom manager.

Best rom to use

Stock android with sense camera n Widgets possible?
True 3g and 1xrtt display?
Great on battery
sent from plant Snarf
If you mean a aosp ROM with sense widgets no you can't do that IDK the whole reason for that.
And for the best ROM you'll just need to start flashing, all ROMs work different on each evo so you'll have to do a little trial and error its all opinion.

asop will have stock android camera right?
so whats a good sense rom ?
I've been on mikg for about 2 weeks now, and it's spectacular. Everything works flawlessly and is fast. You also get sense 2.1 + 3.0 which is also a cool transition.

The close would be use Miui

RLs2 is a great rom too.
it seems like what your looking for is a "senseless" ROM, which is like in between stock (AOSP) and sense. Check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092221
Another vote here for MikG 2.45. Very nice Sense 2.1+3.0 rom.

Best GB rom w/theme support?

Right now I'm on some random rom. Don't even remember what. But.I'm rooted and clear for flashing.
I don't want ICS or JB, because the battery usage is ridiculous. GB works just fine, I suppose..
Now, I like themes.. I especially hate that the notification bar is black. I like my phone to have a good theme to it..
I was gonna download "new senzations" 2.3.6, but my computer won't download from the site. Says there's an active download. Go look at it, it's pretty much what I want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352405
Can anyone suggest a good, stable rom that supports themeing, or can someone download new senzations and link me to a dropboxed copy of it? Please? thank you all!

I've been on ICS roms with this phone for some time now, but when I first rooted my phone and exclusively stuck to GB roms until I was a little more comfortable with everything, my favorite was Blazer 4.0 and I also recall it having quite a few themes out there to choose from. As far as overall performance and variety of themes, that's the one that sticks out in my mind.

Scroll past the ICS version to get to the link and install instructions for the GB version (newest being 4.1)

I remember trying blazer 4.0 and changing the dpi, and seeing some graphical issues in the notification bar.. maybe it's been worked past by now? I'll backup and give it a shot. Thank you!

Jellybean was never meant for the Evo. The devs here are quite amazing that they bring it to the OG via ports and source builds. But the fact of the matter is that Miui Gingerbread is about the only really stable build for the evo. The problems your having is a combo of miui 4.1 instability and the evo just being an older phone.
If you like the look of miui, flash Decks Reloaded and a cm7 skin of miui...in the long run you'll appreciate the advice. Good luck
