[Q] Help with ROM choice, bear with me please

I need a Gingerbread/Sense ROM with and emphasis on stability. Close to stock would be best though it isn't paramount. I realize that ROMs are like beers, you get a different opinion on which is best depending on who you ask. The circumstances just don't allow me to try out a whole slew of ROMs.
A good friend's wife has an EVO 4G (I have a Sensation, G2x & HD2) and is having trouble with stability. I suggested we root it and slap a custom ROM on it. While they were over I rooted it and got everything ready to back up and slap a ROM on it. Problem is I am unsure as to what ROM to put on it. Yes, I could try out several ROMs to find one that works but this isn't going to go well at all. The reasons should be obvious for anyone who is married. This is magnified by the fact that I would only have access to the phone maybe once every other week. I need a silver bullet for this one.
Thank you for your time.

I've tried a ton of sense roms, MikG still wins for stability and everything working for me.

I'm currently running synergy w/o sense lockscreen. Loving it. I've had no problems with stability.

RC2 from the below thread? Is there a problem with the lock screen or is that a personal preference?

Try EVO classic Rom. It's based off the latest stock Rom. It's fast and so far no trouble for me.

Thats the one. I used to use Synergy to but I found it to be a bit slower than MikG and Mik sees more updates.
If you go Synergy RLS1 is the newest version. RC2 is older and was an unofficial release I believe. I never had a problem with the lock screen on Synergy.

I've found Mik Roms to be the most stable as well as be current with the latest updates. Myn's Roms are excellent as well.

1. If she is having a problem with stability on a stock unrooted Evo then she needs to backup her information and just do a factory reset.
2. Trying out several ROMs is required because phones react to various ROMs differently. I can tell you that a certain ROM plays well with my phone but it may not play quite as well with yours. Then comes the issue of kernels. Kernels have a large impact on the phone's stability as well.
3. Tell your friend to do his own homework on how to get her phone up and running or have an affair with her so that you can see her more often and get more opportunities to test ROMs/kernels on her phone.

What version of Sense would you prefer?

I ran AOSP and CM ROMs on my G2X. Eaglesblood with Faux's kernel. CM and AOSP ROMs are actually my preference for Android in general. I am not a huge fan of Sense, it has some nice apps but its too confining. This isn't my phone though.

The EVO 4G has 2.5 by default I believe. I run the leaked 3.5 on my Sensation and it has some improvements over 2.5 and a couple over 3.0. If there is a very stable and fully functional ROM with 3.x that would be better. Stability and functionality still trump everything else though.
They mentioned that Netflix has to work as they use it often. Skype working properly with video would be good as well.

i agree AOSP Roms are a lot better, smoother, and allow for more customization, that's why the thread i made in my sig is only about them and not about sense based roms. plus whenever an ICS rom comes out it'll be AOSP

[Q] Alternative to the stock JB rom that has working headphone port?

After trying several different roms I have finally found the one that seems to work the best. The stock JB rom runs like a dream, however the lack of headphone port is about to become a dealbreaker. I have looked around but can't seem to find anyone answering this exact question. Is there a custom rom out there that is just as slick as the stock JB rom that has working headphone jack?

What you see is what you get. The JB ROMs listed on XDA's site here are the only ones I know of for the Kindle.

I don't think I've tried the CM10 rom yet. I just really like how smoothly the JB rom runs and none of the other roms have come anywhere close to being as stable. Wish there was a workaround.

Which ones have you used? Just curious.....

I am running Hashcode's 4.2 on two rooted KF's for my kids and it works pretty good. The only thing I have noticed is there may be a slight delay on Youtube or Netflix recognizing earbuds, but it's minimal. I think this is a great ROM and appreciate his work.

I tried the GEDE(?) rom and the CM9 rom before JB. The best thing about the JB rom so far is how solid the wifi has been, and compatibility with apps is much better.

Ok so this is the same rom I use so I was confused that you said the earbuds work. I went ahead and tested again and now I am able to get sound. I honestly am at a loss. It's awesome that it works but I don't understand why now and not before. Maybe I was running into whatever you were talking about when you said it takes a moment to pick up headphones?

I thought the same thing the first time I used this ROM and actually thought I had to unplug my earbuds and plug them in to get it to work. It turned out for me that it was just a few second delay. Not sure why it does it, but once I got used to it, it wasn't a big deal.
Edit:
I actually recall that it took me 2 times the first time I used this ROM to get it to work. The first time I could not get any sound either and did a wipe and put it back on. Since then it's work great.

[Discussion] What ROM do you use? (Not a best rom thead!)

Saw a lot of these threads on other phone forums and got curious.
**This is not a dev bashing, rom compairing, best rom thread!**
What rom you you use and why do you like it?
I am a flashing junky, and no... not the kind that wanders around parks in a trench coat.
I flash a rom, play with it, get bored , and flash another.
ATM im on PAC ROM and love it so far. The mix of the 3 roms combined is fun.
Just wondering what the G3 population thinks, so.. Let's hear it!

Zonerom ?it's fast, stable and battery is very good. Favorite rom so far. Been running it since it came out.

used to run zone rom when it first came out, but now that aosp roms are released, im flashing back and forth every few days.
Love how 480 dpi looks on this phone, and everything works at that dpi on these aosp roms.
... ok well almost everything, there are some features not worked out yet, but it is still good enough to be used as a daily.

Running CloudyFA's ROM. Still on a stock kick, especially with the Quick Circle case. Loving it.

Currently, bone stock. I rooted, then unrooted. For what I personally use it for, so far, stock suits me fine. We'll see what the future holds in development.

was Zone, Carbon now
Zone, based on stock 10m, is very stable and fast
Carbon, AOSP, is very stable too and lightning fast

Nice?what rom would you recommend?

Stock>Skydragon>Pac-rom.
So far so good. Battery on AOSP holds up well. The build is a little laggy, but, as expected, this early into it.

What is best for me may not be the same for your use. I'd just pick one and flash away. I'm using Validus at the moment but have also used PAC, Beanstalk, Liquid Smooth, and shortly, AICP. They've all been solid with no issues for me.

currently running stock rooted. liquid smooth would be my daily but I have had to many blue screens on it.

Carbon currently. Loved PAC, but would get lag during some games and stutters here and there (expected). Tried Validus but had issues with unlocking screen and texting. AOSP has much better battery life than stock in general, for me at least. Haven't found one issue with Carbon yet.

Does exposed work on carbon? G3 tweakbox?

CloudyG3 1.2. I've tried pretty much every one of the stock and non-stock custom ROMs and I keep coming back to this. It has stock functionality with AOSP speed and performance.
Before Cloudy was released, I would have bet my house that I would have ditched stock ROMs for good once they got the camera working. It's not that the stock build was bad, but between it being a little wobbly and me coming from a Nexus 5... Even SkyDragon, Zone and Lonely didn't get to where I really wanted.
Now I'm all in with 'stock' again.... Because of that ROM

Xposed does work on AOSP ROMs but I don't think G3 tweaksbox will though. That's built to run on a LG based ROM. I personally think that most AOSP ROMs have enough built in options that xposed isn't necessarily needed. App Settings(per app DPI settings) was always the only module I ever really used on AOSP based ROMs.

Carbon - everything just works!

I haven't tried Xposed on Carbon, there is enough options in settings that I don't find myself needing it. Although I would assume it would work. G3 Tweakbox, on the other hand, probably wouldn't. That's more focused on stock mods.

Stock-Base vs. Other-Base, esp. re: Camera? And Stock-Base ROM Suggestions?

It's been a long time since I've used a non-stock-based ROM on my G3
I remember back then any ROM I tried would have a pretty shoddy camera implementation if it was not based off of LG G3 Stock
From what I understood, this was because the G3 has some proprietary drivers that are embedded into LG's stock ROM to truly make the camera run smoothly
Is this still the case? If I want good camera functionality, that isn't laggy, that is full screen, that feels smooth and makes the most of the hardware, do I still need to aim for Stock-Based ROMs?
And if so, what Stock-Based ROMs are recommended and / or still in active development these days?
It looks like Fulmics hasn't been updated since June; is Clean ROM the last remanent?

It is hard to answer this question what rom might be good for me might not be for you....Its all user based my device usage varies from yours... Personally i use fulmics and or old cloudy.... But those might not work for you the best advice is to try them all til you find what you like and what suits your needs

is it worth it to install a Custom Rom?

I rooted my phone and installed TWRP however looking at the custom ROMs , I don't know if it is a good idea at this point to install one. What are your recommendations especially in regards to fluidity, battery life, antutu scores, daily usage and everything working?

MIUI will give u the best fluidity
Battery life are pretty much the same
Antutu is pointless
Most ROMs have everything working
If you're all set you might as well test them, just remember to format data if going from MIUI to custom otherwise it will bootloop

That's been the normal state of custom ROMs on the last few phones I've owned including the supposedly development friendly One Plus 5. I think the problem is that custom ROMs are rarely maintained by people who actually use the ROM and device as their daily driver. You can't make a good ROM for a phone you aren't even using so the ROMs always have bugs that the devs aren't aware of until users report them. There was only one One Plus 5 ROM that didn't have bugs and it was also the only custom ROM by a developer who actually used the phone everyday. One of the ROM devs for this phone even admitted that he wouldn't consider using his own ROM on his primary phone which pretty much says it all.

I have been using LineageOS Unofficial for a couple of months, and now the official for over a month. Everything just works. Things are smooth, and works real nice without any of the wonkiness I had with MIUI. I always struggled a bit to make MIUI work like I wanted. Then again, I greatly appreciate a stock-ish experience. I am even running Substratum.
