Is there a stable 2.3 gingerbread rom out there?

I know you people don't like these posts, but you should really keep the ROMS forum in order, it's such a damn mess, there's no making sense of it! it's crazy!
IS THERE a stable, 2.3 ROM for the EVO 4G out there, that supports ALL the hardware features of the Evo?!
A simple question that you think would be easy to answer, but none of the ROM descriptions actually contain this information. And go spend 2 hours going through 300 pages of comments, most of them completely useless.
This forum is such a horrible way to store all this information, you hackers really need to come up with an alternative.

You need to calm down buddy!!! If you don't like what you see on xda go somewhere else! There will never be a solid rom they just get better and better!!

WOW! Someone needs to get some booty

First off, wow, asking for a stable version of an operating system that's barely out on any phone yet is so terrible that it obviously seems you haven't been doing hours of reading. Skim through the first page of the Q&A section for the evo or any of most recent pages on those "300 pages" of comments and you will find people talking about their problems with these ROMs.
Besides that... ruling out the terrible wiki we have for the evo, I can only offer my own opinion in what gingerbread ROM I believe is best. I suggest the latest Cyanogen Mod 7 RC if you don't keep up with the nightlies. CM7 has just about every feature the evo is hardware capable of. It runs fine for me along with Savaged Zen's kernel. Try out different kernels and ROMs to see what is best for you instead of relying on 300 pages of comments.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!! That's for sure!

Get latest ROM Manager which has a "ROM" library now. Went from both Gingerbread SalvageMod to CM7RC4 due to Ad-Hoc availability. Lots more listed too.

OP,
It's fine if you don't want to search. It's fine if you don't want to read through threads that are hundreds of pages long. Both of those things are really your problem, not anybody's here. Also, it's fine if you would prefer a "cleaner" interface or a more organized presentation of ROMS available for the EVO; even I think that's a good idea that someone could really take advantage of on their own personal website with AdSense or something.
But what isn't fine is:
"...you people..."
"...it's such a damn mess, there's no making sense of it! it's crazy!"
"...300 pages of comments, most of them completely useless."
"This forum is such a horrible way to store all this information, you hackers really need to come up with an alternative."
If you came in here to post that and expected not to be insulted, called a troll, or start a flame fest then you, my friend, have some maturing to do.

...most if not all are beta's or rc's (or based off), so i say no!

Nightly 36 of CM7 is working 100% for everything I've tried thus far (4G, wifi tethering, maps, camera) but there's no guarantee there won't be issues later.

First, I can say the information here is some what scattered but the amount of the users on this site would make it nearly impossible for a group of non paid Admins to keep track of. Second, almost all version of GB are as close as they can be to stable, if none of those please you compile your own if it's not that hard. Third, what about Sense? Do you want it or need it, could use some maybe? Finally, IMO the Destroyer V2 is solid, with a lot of options, but requires reading the first post to flash properly.

Im surprised anyone is replying to this arrogant jacka**

CM7 nightly 36 will have everything working, other than the slight chance you will not be able to get the gps working with the sense fix.
Or try RC8 of the ROM linked in the yet another AOSP Ginger ROM thread in the dev section.
Or if you want something better, learn how to make it yourself (Forum or ROM).

Many of us have no problem finding the information we seek. We take advantage of the "search this forum" feature as well as a little patience and common sense. Although this forums contain a wealth of information, it is NOT a library.

There are several gingerbread roms available for you to test. CM7, SalvageMod & OMGB to name a few. They all work, but they all have quirks just like the rom that came preinstalled on your EVO.

Been running SalvageMod for a few days now. Not one issue.

i've been runnung destroyer v1 for 3 or 4 weeks, love it, not one issue except i can't get the hdmi out to work, which is fine cause i don't use that feature, other then that its stable enough as my daily, bluetooth, gps, 4g, everything working on my phone

You're right. It's next to impossible, specially if you're new to the forums, to find out certain details about a ROM. The wiki page for the ROMs and kernels are so outdated and rarely, if ever, mention what doesn't work on that ROM/Kernel. Doing searches yield pretty much every thread since most keywords and tags apply to all of them, understandably so. The issue can be remedied by keeping the wiki section up to date.
I don't understand why everyone is so defensive. He's not attacking you, just stating a fact. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely grateful for any forums such as this. Bringing an issue into the light should be welcome and not garner so much hostility.
Anyway... that's just MY opinion.

Was it too much to ask of the OP to simply ask his question? The roms, mods, kernels and themes are FREE for us to use and these forums provide us with a place where we can FREELY enjoy the dedicated work of the devs and improve our overall smartphone user experience. So what, if we have to do a little bit of searching to find what we seek. Do we not search for items at a grocery store or at a retail clothing store? Do many of us not use search engines to find what we seek? The point is this: Instead of taking frustrations out on the people who control/moderate these forums, simply ask the question and let those who are willing to help answer it. If that is too much of a strain then feel free to start a forum of your own and arrange it however you see fit.
As for your comment about garnering hostility, lets review:

Disappointed... just a little bit

First I just want to say if your going to flame me then F*** you, this is a forum and I live in America... so freedom of speech and such...
I must say that I'm a little dissapointed in Sammy's lack of support yet again with this device where they are supporting the international version but we here state side get the shaft just like with the original gs versions. My phone before this was the Samsung vibrant and if it wasn't for great development there would have been Jack squat to do on that phone. I can only imagine what the og epic went through. Now while I appreciate what the devs for the ET have managed to pull of for the device so far which is pretty impressive.... but I think that fact the AT&T GSII has cm7 miui and a booming device community is BS just because its innards are so close to the euro GSII... Sammy needs to get their **** together and give our devs the tools they need to get this community exploding! I love my phone but I like the majority of he people here love to flash and flashing and flash and flash and flash and with only 3 or 4 Tom's to choose for I'm frankly getting bored...... so am I disappointed? Yea, a little bit...

First off, your first line is know way to start a thread. If you feel the need to start a thread that way, maybe you shouldn't start it?
Second, Samsung has nothing to do with what our devs or gsm devs do with the phone. GSM has more users and because we are CDMA it takes longer to get things like CM and MIUI working on our devices.
Next time you start thread telling people F U, you might want to get your f'n facts straight and like you said it is America and it is freedom of speech so everyone has a right to say what they want about your thread.....

They tie together. Samsung makes great phones and they come with the latest software. Only problem is when an update comes, we're usually last to get it. Not that it's bad or anything, they're just slow. I do wish, however, that they'd step it up by fixing the LoS and soundpool bug. We'll see how it goes this time around. Epic just got GB this week. Took them nearly a year after GB was released.

You will really be disappointed when T mobile version gets CM before us. They have a different chip-set so it should be harder, in theory.

First off I didn't point any fingers at anyone but flametards like yourself who go around trolling the forums, i was expecting someone like yourself to take that line as bait and just like a troll you bit!
Secondly, Samsung has almost everything to do with what our devs can do. if you followed the OG ET then you would have seen what can get done with no source codes. HTC releases the source for their phones and they usually have a great dev community... So by simple mathematics I deduced that source = good dev community and no source = slow dev community. Also by simple mathematics I was able to deduce that your flame = predictable+expected+double Fail!

You know how you get more Roms for the SGS2. Buy all the developers in the EVO section an SGS2 and you will have a lot more Roms.....

I agree with you op about the source code. I think the flaming is being done because how you started your post. Not the nicest of ways to do it. Besides there are very young kids on here as well.

People say that all the time after they get owned. "bla bla bla bait, bla bla bla you bit". Same old crap from people who obviously have no clue what they're talking about. Maybe you just need to take an oxy and chill out buddy.
CDMA is more difficult to work with than GSM. How do I know this? Well I've used both. You can flash the crap out of a GSM phone and the odds of you truly bricking it are slim. CDMA, different story. You flash the wrong partition and everything is toast.
"Secondly" The T Mobile version will probably be even easier to develop for than any other given it's SOC. Sure it's different but development for the Snapdragon vs. Exynos? No comparison. Part of the issue is Sammy but I understand their waiting. ICS was just released, albeit they had it well in advance because of the new Nexus. They are holding off on giving us anything because they're focusing on ICS for all their compatible phones. It's sucks but I'm more than happy to wait.

Fixed OP.
I may be a relative n00b, but at least I know how to use this forum. A little bit of effort scrolling through this forum alone would have yielded the previous five posts THIS WEEK about the same "lack of source code/ICS/development" etc. The devs are working for free. Samsung, in order to turn a profit, sell more than one model. To the best of my knowledge, they do not have a single team of dedicated developers working on our phone for us.

I think it absolutely immature and retarded that people flame Bubby. He's a friggin 14 year old kid for christ sakes. Grow the hell up people, he's doing some really good work for this phone. I've been using CM7 since Alpha 4 and now on Alpha 5 it has everything except 4g which is useless to me.
90% of the ROMs for the E4GT are KANG'ed ROMs based off of Caulk's with a few different apps, a custom theme (if they bother) and some init.d scripts. That's not dev'ing, that's copy and pasting. This phone has been out forever now and Bubby is the only person to deliver us CM7, no one else Dev'ing here cared enough to do it or (or simply didn't have a friggin clue how) - so flame me, flame Bubby, who gives a **** honestly. You keep running your "custom" TW ROMs and enjoy that ****ty overlay. The rest of us will be hanging out on AOSP CM7.1.

I have to say that he is absolutely right, NO offense to the Devs here at all but really in all honestly AOSP development is actual development, with the exception of things like TSM parts and things like that. I really can't grasp why everyone jumps on Bubby the way they do. Sure he may have done somethings that wasn't exactly the greatest things to do but he IS doing something. I have been patiently waiting for a broader AOSP selection as I am not a Dev so all I can do is wait or try to learn it "which I am but its a slow process".
I also have to say that I am shocked at the actions of some of our moderators on these boards as some seem to stir up more drama then they prevent. All im saying is cut the kid some slack. He seems to honestly be trying to do some good work. It may not be 100% fully working but its alot farther then other CM7 builds I have seen for other phones. And I also haven't seen any competitive builds that were any better.

No but its the flaming that went on XDA doesnt have CyanogenMod7 in the DEV section. You have to admit that whole situation was lame #FAIL-XDA. Seriously, from the T-mo sections threads that spilled into a Dev thread, and the Mods leading the charge! They figured bubby would quit, someone else would come to the rescue since DATA/PHONE was working and drop a KANG here, it backfired on them What about the people who said once we have CM we have ICS, where did they go? Or the ones who said now that the thief is gone we will see some real AOSP development? Where are those people/roms, please I would love to try one out? I agree he didnt need to flame the dev's, but if I recall a few Dev's were one the flame throwing side when bubby was in the "Hot Seat".

I totally agree what went down on XDA was lame and we lost out on a great dev here but no need to knock the people we do have here. We don't want to lose them as well. There is definitely enough room for everyone and then some.
Besides, I think the bubby haters have disappeared from the E4GT section anyway.

These people keep bringing that **** here, stop spamming XDA just cause you are bored at Rootzwiki, go home to your AOSP, damn!
P.S. Not hating, just stating the obvious and you all should just let it go.

I still haven't had the chance to try it out, so I don't have any personal experience to report like I said I would...
! Also: Can we get the forum replies back on track and focused on the mod itself and not Bubby? Lot of "junk" (no offense to anyone) to go through looking for insight and mod-related discussion only to find none

As you can tell its a sore subject around here and unfortunately every so often someone brings it up again. Hey I am running Touchwiz, CM7(right now) and MIUI just because I like variety. The kid has done a great job like others have said. I personally don't care about his bs but honestly we got to do a better job of searching before we post since a new thread about this was just posted on 1/6 check here, with some unhappy people...LOL

Yeah I saw that sorry ....

I'm seeing the exact same thing on bubby's thread and Gman's thread on rootzwiki. Who is the real dev on this?

What is going on....

Hi all
I am not a big active poster here but love to run different toms on my phone...
I came here from the EVO forums after a switch the the E4GT.
It seems like every time I pick a ROM it goes dead right after I flash it.
Started on Blazer...No activity for months
Moved to AOKP and a couple of days later the thread implodes and is completely gone.
Yesterday I installed paranoidandroid and that thread gets closed.
Why is everyone ditching their roms? or removing the threads when they still contain critical information that is useful?
Thanks

I dont think anyone is ditching their roms. Sometimes they just wait for something better like the ICS OTA or for source. But you have to remember that the devs have a life outside of deving. Maybe their are facing personal issues that doesnt give them time to update their roms.

Calk is leaving. Remember, work phone/changing jobs. lol

There are a lot of good, active ROMs out there. Spend time in the Dev section and read through the comments, you'll be able to pick up what's still active very easily.

Things will also pick up when ICS ota comes and source drops.

please dont misunderstand me....I fully respect the Devs have a life...I was mainly talking about Threads dissapearing or being locked. If I dev needs time that is fine as you still have the thread to ask questions or reseach issues. Once the thread goes away or is closed you are limited in your options.
Sorry if I was misunderstood...

If I deleted a thread it was because it needed to be deleted, for reasons that may not be known to the common member. There's a lot that goes on behind the scene, its not just cut and dry.

Blazer has only gotten so far since ICS started leaking, I mean your coming in pretty late in the phones life. I always liked Calk's rom but since CM9 got so far so quick I am sticking with that for the life of the phone. AOKP will pick up eventually.

i think paraniod android just moved locations but is still active.

I too am coming from the EVO and EVO 3D and the type of dev support and activity you are used to for those two phones just isnt the same as for the epic. We have great devs in here it just seems like they arent as active as they are for the EVO series of devices I also dont think you have near as many ROMs to choose from either.

I would say you haven't spent near enough time in the Dev section if you don't think our level of support is on par with other phones.
Also, to the comment regarding number of ROMs, you're talking about a phone that is over two years old (EVO) and a phone that is barely 10 months old. Yes I know the EVO 3D isn't much older but it already had a base to build on coming from the OG EVO.
Besides, we're a community that believes in quality over quantity.

Now that^^^^ answer to one above ^^^ was right on point. You are not a true android enthusiasts if you cant see the difference between these roms. Honestly I go into the Evo forum since I was a big part of that forum for a year and all I see is the same rom split in 12 different pieces. In this forum there happens to be some pretty great developers and all working on different stuff. The roms you happened to pick were by the same guy. So if his life has sent him in a different direction and he can not keep putting out quality work then either you pick it up for him or choose a different rom.
Sorry man not trying to be harsh but I just dont believe in the nice guy crap. It is what it is. Loved the Evo but in the beginning over there it was the same as it was over here. Not sure if you remember but there were like 2 roms out for a while and the steps to root were crazy(like 40 steps). My friend jump on CM9 lay back and enjoy the ride or hey you can always go back to an Evo3d

i didnt come from any other phone except the intercept(crap). and i think that CM9 has the most activity of the roms, only bcuz there are soo many phones that have been ported. and Esoteric68 is right the EVO has had way more time to come out with roms. and our phone is still fairly new compared to the EVO series. but you gotta make do with what you have, once source comes out for ICS for our phone, we'll have more roms and more things going on.

Yes its because so many users think they are the chosen 1. I mean xda is a hell of a place if you know how to use it. I have learned to do so much just by searching these threads with any issue I have. I have themed my own stuff made changes to the system files and basically tweaked the hell out of my phone just by searching the web. My attitude is I am damn sure not the first person to ask whatever question I have to ask and knowledge is the key(hmm heard that somewhere)
With people demanding stuff and claiming stuff is broken when they are the only ones with the issue and then addressing it rudely in a thread does not make a developer WANT to do anything for you. I could go on for a while on the BS I have seen.
We need to take what these developers have given us and be grateful as well as learn how to fix some of this stuff ourselves. If you can not help yourself then either ask nicely or #gositdownsomewhere

Good to hear you are still around dude, this forum can't afford to lose mod's like you.
On another note, I am really hoping ppl start to calm down in the development forums. I have never witnessed anything like this on XDA before. Constant sniping is a pure waste of everybody's time and does nothing for development or enjoyment of this site. I would be interested to hear if anyone has some "positive" ideas on how to improve the situation?

I'm coming from an Optimus V. Development on that phone is FANTASTIC, but I have terrible service in my hometown, and let's face it: this phone is 29395x better.
I've never really used xda much, because androidcentral is good for the OV. I checked out the ac forum for the s3, and it's awful in comparison. So I thought...I'd better get over to xda
I have a few very random questions...
I hope it's okay that I post them here...
1. What are flamers and trolls?? lol.
2. I saw a video on how to easily root the Att Galaxy S3. Seemed simple enough. However, what is this talk of 'tripping a flash counter'?? is it okay to trip the flash counter, and can I reset that later if I wanna go back to stock??
3. I guess cwm is probably the best(favorited) recovery to use??
Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions

1. people who are rude and ignorant.
2. Use the no trip root method and everything should be fine. Tripping a flash counter is a way for att/samsung to know that you messed with your phone, it can be a problem for warranty returns, but there is an app called triangle away that should reset this. I havent tried it so I personaly cannot confirm.
3. there was a little bit of argument on which recovery was better when there was the missing imei problem, now that it is solved it doesn't really matter (all personal preference). But please don't forget to do a NV backup or at least a backup of your Imei no.
and by the way welcome to xda it is a great place for information and if you do searches first and post in the propper section the people here are great.

Well, it surprises me this post has so little posts, so allow me to contribute
Did the S3 bring any surprises/disapointements?

One thing that depressed me, in which was easily resolved, was the ringtones, notifications and alarms. They honestly suck, you could at least give me one business class ringtone (a classic phone maybe). So anyways a quick search of the android market and I am overly satisfied again.

Yes I must agree with you there, the ringtone selection wasn't what I had hoped for. Luckily they're apps which help resolve this issue

Perfect place to post, good to see someone else joining myself and Archangel in this chat thread. Here are my answers to your questions:
1. Troll - Someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
Flaming - Hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users, often involving the use of profanity.
2. If you trip the flash counter and take your phone in for warranty work, Samsung will know you have flashed unsigned firmware on your phone and may deny your warranty claim. There is a working method in place to reset your trip counter back to zero but it costs a few bucks. If you root and install a custom recovery (cwm or twrp) using this method, then flash all roms using that recovery, you will not trip the counter.
3. This is up for debate, so here are the facts. CWM is the recommended recovery for most custom roms and many developers will not provide support if you flash using another recovery. On the other side of the coin, a number of people have lost their imei flashing roms (phone cannot connect to cellular network), and a theory exists that cwm may be the culprit as no one using any other recovery has experienced this loss. I personally use twrp, a touch based recovery alternative to cwm, works well and gives me comfort on the imei issue.
One more item: If you are planning to flash custom roms, make sure to backup your imei using this method. Restoring these backups has been proven to fix the issue.

Thank you so much for your answers!!!!
1. Ahh. We had some of those on the V ac forum.
2. Ohhhh. Well I'm hoping I'll never have to take it in for warranty work, but that's a nice fix!
3. I see. and twrp has no downsides, other than not being officially supported? Does it still flash any rom?? How is the compatibility of backups between the two recoveries?
On the V, I switched firmwares quite a bit with the Optimus S, so I know the importance of knowing all my cell info(nv backup, spc(msl), aaa key, ha key, etc.) Thanks so much for the link on how to backup all of this stuff, I'm sure it's different than the V haha.

No, backups are incompatible between twrp and cwm. I have done all of my flashing with twrp, problem free.

You can only really see the pentile pattern if you actively look for it. It was far worse on my old Captivate because the resolution was much lower; on the S3... i haven't noticed it casually, but if I get up real close and examine the diff between red/green/blue diagonal lines, I can still see the crosshatch diff in red and blue (green is solid).
Much ado over nothing. Samsung said they returned to pentile for the S3 (vs nonpentile in the S2) because the screen lasts longer. I'm fine with that.
EDIT: And because this is OFF-TOPIC, let me just add........ Marklar marklar marklar?! Marklar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that stuff is crazy!!! Those guys are all SO smart. wonder if any of them hang out on the forums.

Where do you guys get authoritative information about Android flashing/modding/development? Like, where does a developer go?
I've read about 10 explanations of deodexing and, while I totally get the "concept," I have lots of little questions questions (are new apps also de-odexed? how can only the first boot slow? someone said they d/l'd regular files and de-odexed himself?!). All the guides explain it simplistically. Where can I find the nitty-gritty and technical explanations of these things? Some super-guide? I don't mind reading 100 pages, as long as it's thorough and authoritative.
I used to mod Sony Ericssons and, while a little difficult, there was one flashing tool, maybe 5 skins for your media player, three or four I-know-what-I'm-doing developers, and we "rooted" using a brute-force method that took sometimes 15 hours. And there was no nitty gritty, really, because, if you could edit an XML file, you were close to the end of our knowledge, haha.
