Solid rom WITH htc sense

I finally rooted my EVO with froyo. I now would like to know if there is a solid and stable rom out there that has all the stock evo looks (sense, phone, contacts etc etc) I also want to the ability to overclock.
Love how solid and fast cyanogen is, but I just don't like the look. I want a rom that is equally as solid and fast, but with all the stock like appearances. Not sure if something like that exists. Please let me know as I am a n00b to this whole thing.
Thank you in advance

I have been very happy w/ Fresh. Tried out Baked Snack and that's good too.

I have been using OMJ but it seems to be very lagy at times

Fresh 3.2 is a great Rom and very stable.

why not just flash a new kernel to the existing rom? Especially if you like the look and feel of the stock rom already, because the majority of the people cooking roms aren't offering you stability and performance, they're giving you their own personal cosmetic design preferences which often sucks, lol

The others posted are not stock looking,
This one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352. This one you can put multiple kernels on.

Fresh 3.2.0.0 is the only way to go. I've had great luck with the latest version. Excellent battery life and no issues at all. Everything just works.
I can't wait for Sprint/HTC to release the newest OTA and source so we can get this kernel into the hands of the devs.

I like Baked Snack, myself.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't grabbing a deodexed stock 2.2 do the trick?

You guys all suggested excellent roms. As far as stability and stock look and feel go you may want to look at running a combination of the following ..
ROM - damage control 3.5 final
KERNEL - either netarchy's or king's latest stable version (I'm partial to netarchy but that's just me).
NO THEME
The only concern I'd have about running that myself is it's not running the newest release (like fresh is, for example), and I'm a geek that way Plus the newer release is nicer to my battery

Might Get A G2. Which ROM?

Hey guys.
I'm currently the owner of an HTC HD2 that's running a NAND installation of Android 2.3. (HyperDroidGBX)
I have a potential trade in place to give someone here my HD2 for his G2.
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what current ROM seems to be the fastest for the G2.
I'd like to do some research before I pull the trigger on the deal, and any info you can provide would be extremely appreciated. I know there's no such thing as a "Best" ROM as everyone's tastes are different, but there's usually a couple that stand out speed-wise.
Thanks!

Try CM7 nightly～

Thanks, I'll read up on that one.
What exactly is the whole "nightly" thing?
HD2 has them as well, and never understood what it meant.

nightly means it gets updated nightly.
you don't flash a new rom but every night there's a new update and changes are made to the rom
do you like HTC Sense? if so, go Virtuous
if you prefer not to have HTC Sense, then go CM7. Start with the stable build then when you're confident, go nightly.

Ultimatedroid is the fastest hands down. Any of the gingersense type roms are decent. But for smooth and fast UD is where its at regardless of what certain people might say in response to this..

Mexdroid! It's built off CM, and has great custom theming and other tweaks.

Personally I am sticking with the stock (rooted) ROM until CM7 goes stable (and is proven as actually stable)
For me stability and all features working is paramount, that philosophy drives me to wipe every time I update, since getting everything back the way it was after I wipe is a PITA I will only update if I know that the new build will work for me for several months at a minimum.
As I understand it RC4 is almost there (there still seem to be some lingering GPS and other issues) but since the final release is likely imminent I don't want to wipe & install RC4 only to wipe again in a few weeks to install the final release.
If you don't feel the need to wipe between updates (which IMO produces instability) or you don't need 100% reliability in general I'd say go for RC4.

Dude, all roms i use r stable 98% of time. Don't stick with stock cuz u hear bad stuff. Reputable roms are daily drivers. Any problems pop up i just reboot and usually they go away. You're missing out bigtime yo

I don't mind a few hiccups in exchange for customization.
I'm running HyperDroid GBX on my HD2 right now, and it's awesome. Really fast, stable, and generally fine for a daily driver.
Wouldn't mind something similar on the G2. Sounds like the CM7 nightly might be the one.
Although knowing me, I'd probably try a few anyway.
I like a clean look, which is why I like HyperDroid so much:

The G2 I'm getting is untouched. It's on stock ROM, no root, etc.
I've read on some threads that rooting has a high risk of bricking the phone. Is this true?
I have only done work on the HD2 so far. Plenty of experience with that, but I never really ran the risk of bricking as long as I had the right radio/ROM combo.

I used to have hd2 and develope for it now I make a close to stock gingerbread build 2.3.3 based on cm7 newest nightlys removing almost all cm stuff it is really fast and greet battery life
Use gfree method worked for me and to have less of risk don't flash enginnering boot loader. That's the only way to brick your phone

Advantages of coming to GNex device

I am currently on an HTC Sensation, and contemplating a move to the GNex, and while I am very familiar with flashing custom ROMs, I have never had the "pure Google" experience from a nexus device and had a few questions I was hoping I could get some feedback on.
1) I flash custom roms because mobile hotspot is a very important features to me. Will the pure Google Android allow for this or am I going to need to flash a custom ROM with this feature included?
2) Is sticking with pure Google Android a popular option or do GNex users typically flash custom roms anyway? If so, what is the advantage of having nexus device over any others if I can just flash a custom ROM on those as well. Perhaps an example might be with my sensation that custom roms often result in a sense based ROM that has sense elements stripped rather than a clean start, or perhaps the nexus devices have all driver information open to developers up front?
Just trying to sort out in my mind why the nexus devices are "preferred".

Proper drivers ..updates to the newest android version right away..
You get better screen ..NFC feature with google wallet.. compared to sensation..

Thanks, can you speak to my question about hotspot in AOSP or am I going to need to flash a custom ROM to achieve this.

Hotspot is there by default, you wont need to flash any ROM or root
Settings/more in Wifi & Networks/Tethering & portable hotspot
also, youll be getting a nice LED notification, a selling point for me . and once you go pure google, i dont think youll ever want to go back.

I just bought a GN coming from a SGS2 and this thing is just insanely fast! Software is just amazing and my old SGS2 cannot possibly keep up with this bad boy. Calling, sending sms, opening apps, emails, browsing are all done with virtually no lag at all. I'm keeping mine on stock for now and see how everything goes.
Hardware leaves alot to want however:
1. Inferior screen - Super Amoled is pentile and just doesn't stack up to the plus display on the sgs2. If you're coming from the sensation then this should be a slight improvement. Grays turn violet and even sometimes yellow.
2. Speakers are barely audible- my old sgs2 has one of the loudest speakers on a smartphone ever and the GNEX just sucks.

The nexus phones are far superior because all code, kernel and rom and drivers, are available immediately and always. Htc phones have 3 months of waiting for this. Custom roms on an htc is not the same cause they are in a sense hacking those roms together without all needed code.
A nexus custom rom is like a stock rom in many ways with a good dev.

Do what I plan to do. Sell the sensation for $250-300 and buy the GNex.

Ordered a GSM Galaxy Nexus...now what?

I've been looking through the forums and to be honest the amount of options are kind of overwhelming. I'm looking for a ROM/Kernel combo to give me the best/most stable battery and performance combination. I don't want all day battery at the cost of having to underclock everything and killing every sync option I have, but I want no sacrifice in performance either. What are my options? Should I play it safe and go with the new CM9 or stick with vanilla ICS and just get a different kernel?
Oh and since this is my first unlocked phone, what APN should I be using? I'll be in New England mostly on AT&T if that matters at all. And will there be anything else I need to do once I get the phone on day 1? I just wanna make sure I'm prepared and good to go from the beginning.

I'd go with either CM9 RC1 or Black Ice/Kangorade. Franco's kernels work well with these ROMs.
Easiest route, unlock the bootloader, use the GenNex toolkit to push the recovery of your choice. Flash the ROM as directed, make mama proud.

Experiment. Mix and match and find the best match for your. With Android there is a lot of customization you can do.

Stay with stock first, and feel your way around. Once you get your sea legs then you can mess around. The Gnex is 90% brick proof if you know what you're doing. Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader first before you sync your Google account because unlocking wipes data for most phones.
APN settings usually populate when you stick your sim in. No need to enter it manually

AOKP has the most features, CM9 nightlies are pretty rad, and Bigxie's Jelly Bean is super slick. For kernels I've tried them all and bought everyone's apps but I like Trinity or LeanKernel. Been using Trinity for the last month or two exclusively, super happy. The world is your oyster with Maguro.
It boils down to what do YOU like from each ROM and which one stands out as best for you obviously. The great thing is just to try them all out. Lots are real good IMO. Don't forget to purchase Titanium Backup :beer:
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I was previously using AOKP ROM + Franco Kernel (latest milestone releases). I recently switched to Bigxie's JB ROM and I'm planning to try it out for a few days.
I would suggest to just try and experiment with the combination of custom ROMs and kernels. Each custom ROM and kernel provides different experiences.

Thanks guys, I've done some flashing before back with my Evo I just left for a while when almost no ICS Rom was stable enough to be a daily driver. I'm looking mainly for advantages between Cyan vs AOKP vs anybody else out there really. Like who they're mainly for and whatnot. I appreciate the feedback tho.

Sprint GS3 WS Rom..Kernel?

Hi all, new to rooting. I rooted my Sprint GS3 running the Wicked Sensations Rom and love it so far,thanks to the team. However my battery life seems to have gone down hill big time. It was mentioned that maybe my kernel needed to be adjusted ( I have no clue when it comes to this, I'm still learning). My question is,how do I "adjust/tweak" my kernel,or is there a better one out there for me? Can someone please explain..Thanks..Phil

Do you happen to know what kernel you are running? If not go to system settings/general/about device and take a screen shot and post. I personally don't mess with kernel settings but this will give someone better knowledge to help you. Also from my understanding the 4.3 update is a battery sucking monster even @dazednconfused bought an extended battery because of the battery drain.

If you haven't made a kernel change then your running dkp kernel. You would maybe ask for suggestions in my thread on best setup or visit decimalman thread in the original development thread to see what others are doing. You could also experiment with other kernels until you find the right setup for your phone. All phones play different with kernels in my opinion so you just need to play around until you are satisfied.

Yeah its the dkp kernel. I've read a couple threads on kernels but none actually say they're great for..... ya know. I know nothing about kernels which is why I was hoping that one of you heavy hitters could say oh kernel??? Is perfect for this rom. Anyway..I'm gonna do a clean flash of WS Rom tomorrow (talked about in my other thread ) and maybe try a battery calibrator and see how it goes..but thanks to you guys..Phil

I wish I could tell you more about setting one up, but I'm probably the worst to ask. I'm so busy playing around with updates and stuff I never even mess with trying to set up. Lots of good people in the wicked thread willing to give suggestions.
