[Q] Help the evo noob!

Hey guys,
I've had my evo about 4 months now and i'm jumping on the root train. Got it rooted last night with Unrevoked. Now I wanna do something cool. I've been reading for hours now and i'm more confused than ever. I basically want to have a custom display but dont know what to do/use. A little help would be great. What theme, rom, whatever should I use and how do I do it? Thanks in advance

I would recommend any one of the virus roms. Check them out here in the forums you wont be disappointed
I would post the link for ya but im on tapatalk sorry

virus rom? Sounds wrong. Just the title I hope.

Check on Bnice's port of the MIUI rom (Chinese based) Be ready to read, it's a fast moving thread. I've been on it since v1.08??? and it is getting amazing. Way diffrent then any sense rom and it looks like the theming is getting ready to pop.

First time around, I would download ROM Manager from the market. It has alot of popular roms available to download and flash right in it. After you get a little more familiar, and see what one is like, you can go ahead and branch out. AOSP Roms (Cyanogen, MIUI) are great, but you may feel more comofortable with a stock ROM first.

If you want to play around with your current rom just mess around with Launcherpro. Amazing what a custom dock and icons can do to spice things up.

I second that Virus roms are good , battery life is good and they are smooth. A rooted evo can be customized in anyway you can think of. I change something on mine everyday. Congrats on joining the darkside!

I'll admit I was put off by Virus rom's title, but it's actually quite nice. I haven't run it in about a month, though.
If you don't need 4g, try out cyanogen or MIUI. If you need 4G, there are tons of sense based roms available. I personally like Myn's rom. But I also like Fresh & Frost.
I flash roms like they're going out of style & every new rom or new update brings at least an hour of excitement to my day even if I don't care for the rom. Try 'em all, dude.

Best thing to do is flash flash flash till you find something you like fresh roms are as close to stock as a modded rom can get personally I don't care for asop roms but to each their own. Myn is releasing rls3 tonight I'm on the beta version and this rom is beautiful, ava has a good one and calk too. A far as themes go you can use a pre made like riptides or flash a few options out of several to get what you want the only thing that holds you back is your own imagination so have fun and flash.

I completely agree. I first rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 and soon after started messing around with launchers (adw is beast imo) and themes. Then I quickly got bored and decided to use Rom manager and start flashing roms. But once you do that it is trial and error with the roms till you find the one you like. Keep searching the forum to find one that you think you will like and read the posts so that you are aware of problems that some roms have.

Is there a non-sense rom with working ziimote AND hdmi?

FRIDAY IS D DAY.....well D710 day anyway

My Epic comes to me 2moro. Just checking to see if you have any input on which ROMS are running the best, known device bugs, or general tips....
CHIME IN!

i highly suggest Viper Rom 2.1...
but your gonna have to do some research buddy...

I've been on starburst 1.8 rom, been running well. Only changes I've made have been going to the stable lost kernel 1.0.2.2, and adding nothin but the honey theme. All's good in the hood, slight bug with experimental kernel and GPS navigation, but easily fixed

Thanks guys, was hoping for more chiming though. I always research...and will research but I was just trying to get a feel for any roadbloacks or red flags, and of course Obvious hotness...
Thanks guys

viper has a few new features that the other roms dont have as of yet.
Viper and Starburst are stock roms that have been optimized and things like that.
Like I said viper has alot of new things (oc script, battery calibrating script, etc) but because its relatively new some of the mods arent working yet. Some of the themes arent compatible either.
Starburst is supported the most, so most of the mods and themes are based off of it.
My personal preference is Viper, when I was using starburst I was getting a ton of random reboots, where I get none with Viper. (have not tried the last starburst update)
Starburst does have all the mods already cooked in to it. Viper is quickly catching up though.
Both have great devs who try to respond to every issue and request. I think you should give them both a go

Stock rooted deodexed rom with LoSt kernel!
Sent from my Galaxy S2

I would suggest using Stardust rom
Sent from my Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch

Starburst 1.8 stable is really good no random reboots
Lockscreen mod is awesome. Haven't tried viper yet.

I use the new aosp rom with the ICS theme that supposrts it. Works really well. Also I had starburst 1.8 and I think I liked that a lot better, probably because its more stock. I think the major roms on this phone; viper, starburst, aosp, and aemod roms all work very well.

I would suggest keeping it stock for a week just to make sure you're not getting goofy problems first. Then start having fun with roms.

That's more like it!
So far I ran Midnight, starB, and Viper. StarB seems to give the most for what I look for. I know on the EPIC, viper was pretty killer through EB13 so I will keep my eye on Viper for the Epic T. I was suprised by midnight...not what it use to be.

What is the best combo
Did you have any issues with FC's on either Starburst or Midnight ROM? I'd like to figure out the best combination of Kernel, CWM and ROM. There is a lot out there and would like to find a good combination.

[Q] Question about EVO ROMS

Hello all, this is my first post here as I am an Epic 4g user. However, I recently rooted my brothers evo and gave him his first custom ROM. He liked ICS so I put the latest AOKP build on his device.
Although he really likes it, it seems to freeze and soft reboot a little too much for his taste. So I am looking for a new ROM for him that doesnt have to be ICS, and doesnt have to be flashy or anything, it just needs to be stable and have everything work.
So basically my question is what ROM would you guys suggest for a newbie to the whole rooting/ROM thing. Sorry if this question has been asked alot, but I kind of need a current answer because I would prefer a newer ROM so it will continue to be updated/supported.
Thanks alot for any tips/advice I may get from you guys, have a great day.

I recommend mikg it is a sense 2.1 rom with sense 3.0 features. It has a lot of support and themes. Another would be classic by Tommytomatoe its sense 1.0 with a lot of tweaks and themes also. Now if your looking for a aosp rom I've heard good stuff about decks reloaded. I myself am running the latest Miui.us v4 rom and have no issues other then the obvious ics bugs

I am new to the whole Android world myself as of last Summer. So I am certainly not a ROM authority by any means. But, I have been actively been researching xda and flashing various ROMs since rooting my Evo.
The first ROM I flashed was Nitrous 1.3.3. I ran that ROM until the update to 1.3.5 came out and flashed that. I ran Nitrous for awhile but thought I would try some of the ROMs that I was seeing posted on goodandevo. I tried a MIUI ROM, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Cyanogen's ROMs, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Decks, ODLDub, etc., and went back to Nitrous.
There was certainly nothing wrong with these ROMs. I wanted to flash them. All of them appealed to me in some way and every time I walked through one of them it was obvious to me that the devs put eminence time and effort into them. But I go back every time. I am now running Nitrous 1.4.7 and love it. I have been able to chat with the developer when I have questions and was never painfully reminded of my noob state.
Nitrous is snappier then any others that I tried. Simple and clean too. With the custom Nitrous Kernel developed by ca1ne, it is perfect set for me. Certainly worth checking out.

thanks alot man, i appreciate you answering for me. I'll download it and give it a go.

Great! I would be interested to hear your reviews on any ROMs that you end up flashing.
Good luck!

-CM9 (Needs a2sd)
-DarkLight
-AOKP (wait until atyoung starts releasing updates)
-MIUI
Theme Support:

-MikG 3.11
-MIUI
Personal Suggestion:
-MikG- http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?10338-MikG-v3-11-3-9-2012
-ICS Theme- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664019
-Holo Launcher- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tb2JpbnQuaG9sb2xhdW5jaGVyIl0.

So I'm looking for a ROM...

I'm looking for a ROM for my evo.
I just got it last week from my dad, because he upgraded to an iPhone. (He was running some old version of CM7)
I need an updated and fast ROM with everything working.
Thinking about CM7.2 RC3, but I was wondering if there was anything better that I should consider running.
Don't want anything that has too much themeing, unless it looks sleek. (Also prefer darker colors)
I also don't need 4g.
Help/Suggestions?

Decks reloaded follow the installation instructions down to a T and you'll be fine, this rom flies!

Hmm. If you dont need 4G take a peek at my Mokee port. It's almost rock solid, and there are just a tiny bit of bugs, like you cant send mms with wifi connected to a network (you toggle wifi off then it will send ), and like 2 menus crash (because there not setup to a app yet)
and it is based off of CM7.2 so you are getting massive speed
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696993
And a handful of people are using it as a daily so you cant go wrong with this if you do choose it

I don't really like the theme. Would prefer darker...
But still looks like a great ROM.
I'm also open to just flashing all the tweaks on a vanilla version of gingerbread.
If someone could like all the tweaks/fixes/mods flashable .zip files, that would be great.

only way to go when it comes to ROMs

You have got to try Nitrous ROM by raafaell before you settle on a selection. I was a flash-oholic for a while after I rooted. Until I found Nitrous. I also did not want a bunch of themed stuff, just gets to be too much. 4G does work...where you can get it. Super smooth, darker blue tones throughout, all your standard mods (battery, transitions) too if you want to metamorph that stuff.
It will certainly be worth your time to check it out I have continued to try other ROMs because there are some really talented devs out there making some great work but I always go home to Nitrous.

[Q] Looking for new Rom and help with some other stuff!

looking for a new ics style rom. main focus is i really want it to be snappy but save the battery well on my evo 4g. i used to run CM, then decks, then decks reloaded, then tried strike and it wasnt working well, now running sonicFlame and its not to bad. just wondering what else is out there that im overlooking? should i switch to the newest CM? also what is now the best kernel? im using a tiamat sbc i think.
another question i had is there anywhere to get a nice pack of apps and utilites like decks reloaded comes with or would my best bet to be to back them up with TB and load them on the new rom i like?
also i really love having a unified theme. i used crystal full system theme but i am now looking for one that matches the ics blue. so if there is a full system theme anyone knows of or any icon packs that would go with an ics blue rom please post! is there any tuts or links someone has that i can use to try and start making my own theme or how to make icons and use them?
and does anyone know why my lock screen on SonicFlame rotates even when i have rotate off and the screen locked portrait? just bugging me, along with my button lights only working for a bit when i flash a rom then never coming back. happened the last couple roms i used. any ideas?
sorry for so many questions and thanks in advance for the help!!

Well I will give you my thought on the button lights. I have noticed that if you use auto insurance brightness they don't work very well. Also when you go below a certain brightness they go off.
For ics kernel the Mason series is your best bet. I have not flashed many ics roms so not much help there. The few I tried were miui and evervolv.
A little hint. If you like customization I would say try out an miui rom. Then put on an ics style launcher. I hate the miui one myself too much like ios. Now you just find the launcher theme you like. You have a killer looking ics with the bonuses that you get with miui. You can filter calls with white lists, black lists, and calls not in phone book. Also set times to block calls. Built in backup app status bar toggles, and other miui only features.
Jlmancuso.

cool thanks i have never looked into those before ill have to find one!

There are older ICS builds on goo.im
under miui and supersonic. The current jb release on roms.miui.us is laggy on lockscreen but not too bad elsewhere.
If you want pm me any questions you might have. I have tried just about every ROM on the site.

Why not just go back to reloaded? You may have given up on that one to soon..

Yeah. my button lights crapped out the first time I flashed an ICS ROM and never went back to working the same, no matter what I run now.
If you want the apps you have now, just back them up with TB or My Backup Pro.
