Hello Guys. I recently Inherited an Evo 4G and lately I've been playing with this bad boy
Recently i was using TroNit's unofficial Xenon HD for the evo bit I ran into some issues and kinda soft-briced my phone but now everything fine and I'm running Evervolv with TWRP 2.8 but I wanted a rom which is stable, smooth, has good battery life and is at least jelly bean. Now I've searched the entire forums for a rom but most of the good ones are stored on hosting websites that have gone down
Pls tell me which rom do you prefer for the dying yet still alive Evo!

Im giving my sister my old EVO that I no longer use..
The rom I have on it now is Fresh but wondering if there is an ICS rom for this phone yet? And if so which do you guys think is the most stable??
THANKS!
I'm going to get it unlocked to have it work on METROPCS, don't know if that matters or not?
THANKS
In my experience, Team DIRT's CM9 is probably the most stable
In my humble opinion, Decks Reloaded. No issues at all with that rom itself
Decks, Yes
also firepower by blaz1nr
Nitrous by raafaell
or ghost edition by MBQsniper (one of my personal favs)
Those 4will definately get you what you want,,,Later
Is it possible? I don't really like gingerbread..2.3.5
If ur phone is rooted then flash an ics rom.

Check out the guide i posted to get rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755

However, the front facing camera and few other features do not work on EVO with ICS... ... Do your research before installing.
ICS
I am new to posting as I've always had help flashing new ROMs on my phone. I'm out of luck and out of help with my phone. I have the HTC EVO on Sprint and loaded the latest ICS 2.0 CM9. This ROM and the previous ICS versions have all sucked the battery life beyond what is talked about on these forums. Everything else works great as all the posts say, but my battery life is TERRIBLE. I cannot go 5 hrs without my phone about to die with hardly any usage.
Notable things. It only happens when I am not on WiFi. My battery also heats up during the times the battery is draining. The health of the battery is fine as I've tried several different batteris.
Kernel Version 2.6.38.8 -Mason-El-0.1.5-RC5-sbc
CM Version - PapaSmurf 51 Smurfed Out CM9 2.0
Should I be trying to flash a new kernel, radio? If so, where is the latest downloads? I have been trying to a find the most stable ICS version that will not suck the battery life out of my phone.
Hello guys so I was browsing through the threads but couldn't quite find an answer to my question so I figured I would post this. I currently have a photon 4g and my wife has a e4gt she doesn't need anything fancy as far as roms go but I did have her on an older version of blazers rom that kinda messed it self up so since ICS was out I flashed her back to rooted stock, but the ICS stock build has been complete garbage on her phone massive problems with 4g data losing connectivity, nad just an overal slugish and glitchy feel to it. I want to flash her back to an ICS rom but I wasn't sure what the most stable one out now is. I have cm9 on my photon and I can put up with the glitches but I didn't know if cm9 was more stable on the e4gt or if another rom would be better for her. Like I said something basic is fine just stable is all she needs cause she is not very tech savy. I would appreciate your guy's opinions on roms because I haven't been keeping track of the progress for the e4gt. thanks again.

I can't speak for the other ROMs but use CM9 nighlies as my daily. The only issues for me are known; No PRL/Profile update unless you flash temp EL29 ROM, occassional issue with custom rings going back to system sounds, etc. Certainly no deal breakers anyway.
You could always flash manufan721's rom..its awesome...lol..just kidding...what it sounds like shes looking for is maybe a close to stock rom with decent tweaks...any of calkulins roms would be good..not overthemed..nothing fancy, but it doesnt need to be with calks name behind it..just check development thread, flash it and update the kernel..the layout of rom wont be overwhelming and she'll be happy...then you can flash my rom for her..lol

I flashed my wifey's e4gt with calkulin's GB v3.0 rom and she loves it! Uber battery life, fast, stable, and no glitches or problems.

Hey everyone I've been searching around for roms to put on my girlfriends htc g2 which used to belong to me. I was hoping I could get a few recommendations for the most stable and fast roms, hence the least troublesome for my girlfriend. At the moment it has cwm and is currently running cyanogenmod 7.1 or something from way back its been acting real weird on her. I am doing my own research but hoping to speed up the process with some recommendations from you guys, thanks.
check out ilwt
If you want something as close to stock as you can get, but is insanely lightweight, check out GSlim. Other than that, I second ilwt
MIUI bulletproof best miui rom ever smooth and stable. Well ILWT, but it needs a bit of work to look good.
And if you want a little bit more than just a GB. Try Mimicry, really good ICS rom.

Hey guys. I borrowed my brother's old Galaxy Nexus while my HTC One is being repaired and I couldn't help noticing it lags. Immensely. I flashed SlimKat build 3 on it and before that I ran LiquidSmooth. I was under the impression that KitKat was supposed to be less resource hungry.
Is it because it's not "official" (from Google)? Would 4.3 run better, say in the form of CM10.2.1 stable?

Try Deleting The (Google +) and if its Build in App try deleting it with Root Permission.
this Should Fix that Lag. It did For mine ^.^
The unfortunate reality is that most Galaxy Nexus units have sluggish internal storage, and any background processes that are trying to write to it while you interact with the phone can create lag in processing and the UI. It was such a relief to switch to the Nexus 5.
Mine is not lagging but not fast too.. But with the right rom and kernel and some tweaking its pretty fast for its age

I flashed back to 4.3. CM10.2 stable and now it runs better but still lagging. Not as much, though.
lets try cm11 remix .....
Let me know how it is.running slimkat right now and I'm getting pretty much decent performance. We all have to remember this phone is older. I've been trying to justify getting the nexus 5. Will wait until the price comes down a little bit

It's just the phone. My work phone is a gnex bone stock. And it lags horribly.
Mine is very fast, no lag at all, even after more than 1700 hours without rebooting :good:
Vanir 4.3.1 (final version)

This thread is active again. I thought I could get my One yesterday but Telecare messed up and sent me one that had even more tint than before, so I'm stuck with this until after May 9th because my carrier store closes for renovation between April 22nd and May 9th..
C'est la vie.
Since someone already opened a topic on this, I would like to chime in. This started happening too to me two days ago and it's driving me nuts. I must have done something somewhere but I just couldn't find any solutions.
As of two days ago, my Gnex started to lag since I flashed Fancy kernel r50. Serious f-ing lag. Nothing I do seems to help. I've dirty flashed my current rom (OmniMetal), I tried reflashing a previous version of the kernel like I've always done, I tried clean flashing everything again, I tried installing another rom (Paranoid Saberdroid) and whatever option available. The lag won't go away. This ain't your average lag. Even TWRP is lagging. Any suggestions?
SOLVED: It was a rewrite problem, what i did was i ran lagfix(fstrim) app and voila! Fast and speedy again.
Really happy with cm 11 remix, almost no lag.

As mentioned before some of the nexus's suffer from the degrading EMMC performance. Refer to this thread to make sure which side you are on...
hope that helps :good:
I think cm remix is the most stabile/fast ROM now
Keep in mind you came from a HTC One to a Galaxy Nexus.. That's a big loss of processing power. Another thing is if he's had it OC'd a lot the processor may be in it's final days.
My Thunderbolt gave me the same issues while I waited to get my Gnex.
