[Q] I'm not sure where to go now - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running Cyanogen 7.2 stable for a while now, and it runs smooth as butter though the battery life isn't stellar. I've been debating for some time now where to go from here, but I don't know enough to do it.
If it's possible I'd like to try out a Jellybean rom, which one is the most stable? I saw so many I couldn't even begin to fathom.. Also what are the most stable ICS roms?
What is the most recommended kernels? There is just so much to pick from...
Lastly, I'm still using CWR 2.7.x.x from what revolutionary installed, is there something that would be more recommended, or is it possible to update CWR to the 5.x.x.x? (I'm most familiar with CWR though) Is it possible to use wizard's boothijacker, and is it recommended?
I just want to make sure I get everything right, and there are so many options to pick from, I figure the best way to decide would be from the horse's mouth. I appreciate everyone who takes time to reply.
(I reposted thise from the Evo 4G LTE Q&A thread, as it was brought to my attention I was looking under the wrong subsection. My apologies.

You're gonna need to try em out and find what you like, best rom/kernel threads are frowned upon and will end up

Personally, I Agree With Him. This Is The Best Phone On Sprint And Yet NOBODY Is Giving It ANY ICS Love. Somebody PLEASE Prove Me Otherwise.
I am happy with Gingerbread
Tried ICS on my Nexus s 4g, no great shakes...I am happy with Gingerbread on this phone ... once ICS is officially released the devs will make it even better here..
Not trying to be rude to the OP but someone please delete this thread. We had way too many problems with the last one.
There are forces at work on ics for our phone already. I hate the saying but 'patience is a virtue'. Just hand tight. I'm guessing that by the end of Feb at the latest we will have an ics rom
Based on previous experience and XDA's general disdain for these bounty threads - closing this thread. ICS is in the works but it's not so easy. Bounty threads don't work - period.

I'm running this rom and love it wished it was posted in the development section. Thanks for the heads up.

Wrong, Toro is Verizon, ToroPlus is Sprint
Use this http://goo.im/devs/TeamGummy/Roms/Toroplus
thanks. didn't notice he was looking for sprint.
Just a heads up I'm running Franco's nightly 161 with this rom and the two together is fantastic. I'm getting great battery life and the funny thing is I set my max CPU at 700 to save my battery a couple of days ago and I forgot I did and I haven't even notice it lol its running fast as hell at 700. Also the Franco app is a must have you won't be disappointed in it. It will automatically flash the latest nightly for you kinda like mobile Odin. The color and sound options are awsome it also has fast charge option as well the ability to shut down one of your cores when you want to save battery. Plus a lot more.

[Q] CM9 Alpha 5 FF11 Kernel/Modem Battery Issues (with screenshots)

Hi all,
I figured it would be easier to make a post then send to IRC rather than pasting a bunch of pictures.
Background-
Installed Phatom's CM9Alpha with FF11 Kernel/Modem (Did a fresh install)
Fully charged phone and I'm getting battery drops shown below (including Better Battery Stats, CPU Spy and a 3rd).

ok is your post to say your battery life is good or bad. If you are stating you have terrible battery life you would honestly be like the 1,000th person to make this claim for CM9. At this point its pretty well documented in the CM9 thread as well as all over this forum. My suggestion would be to simply change roms since it does not seem like we will be seeing accommodating battery life for people until we get a hold of the kernel source.
In the Cm9 thread there are a few tricks to get a little more out of your battery, It may or may not work for you. I suggest you give that thread and a Google Search a try. Just so you know I am not trying to mess with you but seriously I see this question all over the place. I personally just tried Juice Defender but did not see any change so ya know what my choice is deal with it or move on. I choose to deal with it...
The choice is yours - Good Luck

When will people learn? There is no best ROM. Go and try them out yourself, there is no best for everybody. Download one, give it a try, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, take another one. We can't tell you, which one is the best.
Besides, there have been many topics about that. Use search tool, you will see all such topics are locked for a reason. And so will this one.
This kind of questions keep coming out on Q&A. We need to add a sticky about this best rom issue.
Need mod to close thread.

Horrible Battery life on Canadian S3, rom or upgrade?

My wives phone is brutal on battery life, I know the usual tricks... no gps/wifi/bluetooth etc... brightness, background apps, clearing memory etc.... but it is horrible, even with a new battery.
I know we benefit from roms and tinkering... but I feel odd about doing it for her. Would the device greatly benefit from a root/custom rom? Can anyone recommend a rom thread that is based of stability and battery life? Seeing how it is old tech, as far as I am concerned... is this a fairly simple process?
thanks in advance as always

Each user's experience with a custom ROM is different based on a lot of variables. Your device can definitely benefit from a custom ROM or kernel or both if done correctly. This is a case of experimentation on your part to find what best suits your needs.
These kinds of threads open up all sorts of drama and as such are not allowed on XDA. I am closing this thread but leaving you with a direction to look in. Best of luck to you.
