[Q] What's your favorite 4G compatible ROM?

I'm stuck can't decide which ROM to go with, Now that 4G is really up and running in my area, I am no longer using Cyanogen (My favorite) Now I can't decide which ROM to go with that supports 4G I like so many of them, What's your all' opinions on which ROMS you prefer. I like more of AOSP style ROMS over the Sense ROMS.
Opinions? Ideas? Suggestions?

Ava-froyoV9, netarchy 4.1.9 CFS kernal, with Riptides colornclear v8 theme. Smoothest combo ever and everything works.

i would say fresh evo 3 i love it

I take both of these ROMS are 4G compatible?

Yep, fresh or Ava for sure!

I think myn's 2point2 is the coolest right now...im running baked snacks #6 kernel and battery is awesome in this setup.

Thanks for the input I'm gonna spend the next couple of days flashing these ROMS, If anyone else has any opinions please share.

I'm also a fan of the more AOSP-styled ROMs and agree Cyanogen is my favorite but i can't forego the 4g. So, I'm using the latest Fresh ROM with the AOSP lockscreen (just remove the HTC lockscreen and dont set your alarm using the stock clock), launcherpro, and an AOSP theme that gives you the AOSP notification bar and other AOSP-styled looks. Here's a link to that theme's thread:

Note: I use V1 and not V2 because I think the bootanimation for V2 is crappy.

Are you running sense or launcher pro?
Evo after my Apple

I am running Myn's also. Didn't use any other kernel, and staying with sense, I'm liking it. Battery isn't bad and phone works fine. I don't see any others that I like really...I would like to ditch sense, but I don't want to have to find mail app alternatives and do those other steps you have to do if you run that app to rid sense.

recent ROMs i've tried:
baked snack
evio
myn
fresh
cm6 nightlies
burntdroid
virus
ac
vaelpak
back to evio - fast, stable, nice theme, nice screen transitions (myn's were nice at first but got old and slows things down a bit) and a lot of his work is used across other ROMs. also, another important factor for me is the extra space on internal storage - i have 116 apps all on internal storage with 150mb left!
other:
manup theme
kings #6 bfs kernel

I'll throw my vote in for Ava-froyov9 ROM.
I used tons of roms, and I like Cyanogen a lot(and am using it now), but as for the Sense roms, Ava was my favorite. Battery life was great, everything worked, and an easy AOSP lockscreen flash and ADW launcher made me feel better =P
I actually had lots of strange issues with Myn's rom and in the end, it came down to which ROM ran my NHL app the best.
If I wasn't playing around with different ROM's right now I'd be using Ava's

ava-froyo v9

thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I too am wanting to keep my 4g abilities so am worried about the limited roms as of now.

Today I have been using Frost v2.2.2 if you like AOSP this is for you, The only issue I noticed if I overclock in setCPU too much the phone crashes.
I think I'm gonna go with baked Snack

[Q] Android Roms

Hey Everyone,
I just traded in my HD2 for an EVO. I must admit that I was a ROM junkie when I had the phone.
Now that I have my EVO ,and I have successfully rooted it, I have discovered that I know none of the ROM developers and dont know the differences between each of the ROMs.
Is there a page that has all the comparisions? I know we had several for the HD2. If not maybe I can tell you what I am looking for and I could get the endless list narrowed down to a couple I could try.
I like both sense and core roms. 4g is a must. No stock apps.
I know all the Roms inprove speeds and battery life.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!

Ok I just found the ROM listing. Any idea on which ones I should try first? I know they are all good.

I am running BakedSnack which is not offered here anymore, but I have in the past used Damaged Control and Fresh as well as Cyanogen, If you don't require Sense I'd use CM6.

Cyanogen doesn't have 4G.
If you you want 4G you have to stick with a Sense ROM. They are all good but I think the best ones are Fresh and Myn's. Fresh was my daily driver for a very long time, and Myn's has a very devout following. I'm currently running MIUI but am about to give it up because of how damn buggy it is, and I think I'm going to go with Myn's once I decide to stop being lazy about it.

Myn Warm, Hero_over's Backed Snack, flipmodez's Fresh are complete and polished Sense roms.
Cyanogen or MIUI_EVOv0.11.5 are non-sense roms. They have non-functional components within them (ie HDMI, 4G, poor battery life and/or poor wifi/radio performance)

Thanks for all the help guys!

I'd say myn's warm 2.2 rls3 for a sense based rom and Virus airborne 3.4 for a non-sense based rom. I'd rocking airborne with the netarchy 4.2.1 cfs kernel.

Vaelpak is fully functioning and the dev is very, very responsive to the users of his rom. It is non-sense.
I'm running Myn's rom right now and absolutely love it. It's fully functioning and looks just stunning.

Just try them all!

I'm using Azrael 2.4 and I have 3 different launchers. I have Sense UI, Launcher Pro Plus, and Dell Stage.
I changed my density from 240 to 160 and Dell Stage is working like a charm. I don't have to press the App drawer button to go to my apps. All I do is swipe up and the apps appear.
Azrael runs on Sense, yet u can run any launcher and forget about sense whenever u want.
Plus, u get 403+ mb free when u install the rom
Posted from my EVO 4G running Azrael 2.4 with Dell Stage

where do i find that rom

I have an Htc EVO, How do I "ROOT" my phone and what are the benefits of doing it.
Thanks,

In search of fast sense Rom

I'm lookin for a good, stable, overclockable, fast sense based Rom, any suggestions? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

RE:OP
The word stable is a complicated word, Is the original stock rom on eve stable, No, Myns two point two may be your best shot.
Overclocking has to be bought(no rom will carry that) from the market,
Try:SetCPU (very reliable, updated alot
AOSP roms are the fastest due to it strictly google(no sense), because sense slows it down.

I am happy with htclovers..

Don't be so lazy. Just read feedback on ROMs.
But I use Myn's warm

For sense roms, there are many that you can choose from.
The top three most popular in no order would be: MikFroyo, Myn, and Calkulin's sense based roms.
They vary to some degree depending on what you like.
Myn's tends to be highly themed, while Mik is more optimized. Calk would have to be in between I guess.
Just my opinion.
You will have to check them all out (not just the ones I've listed) to see which is best for you. We can only give you recommendations since we are not who you are.
It may work for some and not you.
Trial and error.
Note: ALWAYS NANDOID
Peace

I liked mikfroyo with netarchy SBC havs aggressive kernel. But I needed my wii remote so I've become sensless
Sent from my evo 4g

Fastest would be Mikfroyo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I've tried mikfroyo and koni's elite. I'm more partial to koni's because of the theming. It boils down to personal preference of course but the cool thing about already being rooted is that flashing roms is so easy now that you can just about try them all to find out which one best suits you. I'm beta testing koni's elite series II that i just flashed this morning and so far everything is both fast and smooth.

Warm RLS5 is an "older" ROM (if January is old), so you'll have to perform some tweaks yourself (like SD card speed). Almost every aspect of Sense has been "warmed".
MikFroYo 4.5 is quicker (IMHO). Has the latest speed tweaks cooked in (heap size, SD, etc). Similar to Warm, Sense is heavily themed. For whatever reason, this ROM isn't the most stable on my phone.
Azrael X 4.0 is also quick, but very stable as well. Sense is lightly themed compared to the ROMs above. I keep coming back to this ROM due to its stability with my setup.
If you go with any of the 3 above, you'll need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking. I run netarchy, but it'll be trial and error to find the one that works for you. Check out the development section and read about the different ROMs and Kernels. Good luck.

Babiboi manila carbon fiber or mikfroyo...you can't go wrong with either one.both are fast,stable and smooth as butter.

Myn's Warm Two Point Two is amazing and beautiful. Just apply the SD Card Tweak to make it read faster from SD card and watch it fly. If you prefer a fast but relatively stock Sense ROM, minus the bloat, I recommend Sprint Lover's.

I bounce back and forth between these roms..
Mik,Cal,Azrael and CM..
Currently im using Zone's Mik 4.5 Pure version and im loving it.
There is NO best rom, only the one that suits your needs and visual liking. Most of the popular ones are stable for everyday use. (at least for my usage)
I also use ADW EX as my launcher and things seem to be much more snappier.

I am currently using koni's elite 1...works great.....looks great....very fast......

But you can't go wrong with myns rls5.......used it since it came out.....but koni's is a bit faster and themed to my liking......tough choice but you can't go wrong with koni's elite or myns rls5...try them both...that is what this hobby is all about...lol
Swyped from my KONI ELITE EVO 4G SUPERSONIC!

I've tried a few, but I like MikFroyo 4.5's speed, but I'm not crazy about the look. I am really liking EvoKings Ultimate FroYo right now...it's built off MikFroyo so it's plenty quick, but the theming is better. I want to try Koni's probably at some point, but it looks awfully similar to EvoKings. I haven't had any issues with any of them.

aamikam- mikfroyo (V4.5) ROMS has taking optimizing sense based ROMS to another level read up on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11190976&posted=1#post11190976
many other mod/themers base their roms off MIKS stock ROM. ...koni, kings, avafroyo, babiboy, dark cocoa to name a few. find the right kernel/rom combo they are all over-clockable.
MIK's rom has a lot of mods you can add if you like that with aps2sd a net kernel. i dont even over-clock and that thing flies also stellar battery life. all depends on what you are looking to use or have in a rom.

I like Sprint lovers...it is my go back to rom....

I'm surprised no one mentioned King's Ultra. It's been just about perfect, and the theming is beautiful, akin to Koni's. I loved Koni's Elite 1, but I had terrrible battery life with it, using several different kernels.
Actually, my battery life pretty much sucks with every set up.
As soon as there's a HTC People mod for CM7, if there ever is, I'm probably gonna go that route.

i disagree that sense slows down the phone. that may be true of benchmarks, but not my real world use. the only non sense rom that i liked was MIUI. I use Warm 2.2, mikfroyo blows in my opinion.

[NOOB "guidance" from FREQUENT FLASHERS]¤*Best ROM* ¤

Firstly, I want to say that I am doing this just to get everyone's own personal view on which EVO ROM is the best. Before I get all kinds of hateful posts just hear me out. I want to know what you think from your own personal point of view and why you think it's the best. For those who switch ROMs daily, post and tell some pros and cons of each maybe. Tell me why you like it, what you like about it, which of your needs it meets, which it doesn't. And so on!!! I think this could be a good thread for the noobs to learn different things about different kinds of ROMs and what the different ones have to offer. Thank you XDA community!!!!!
Edit: "Frequent flaher" I like that term and I'm sure it applies to a lot of people posting in this thread.

Destroyer is awesome. Very fast and awesome theming. VaelPak is also really good b/c it's so unique and customizable. IMHO, if you're new to flashing, you need to try, CM or variant of, Miui, VaelPak, and a Z ROM (MikZ or Warm Z).
For sense ROMs, Unleashed is really good. Very fast/smooth and awesome theme options. Best sense ROM IMHO. MikFroyo is also very fast. I can get good battery life out of almost any ROM, but EViO 2 stands out in that area.

ive flashed alot of sense and about all of the gingerbread roms. the gingerbreads are fast, but too high maintenance for me. sure some will say that its stable for them but 8 out of 10 in the cm threads are trying to work out bugs.
theres also a lot of fast and fully functional sense roms highly themed. depends on what the end user whants out of their rom, functionality, look, batt, etc..
i like a bare bones stock sleek looking optimized preferably lightly themed rom. thats why im currently running Miks 4.6b2 ODEXED themed by Chogardjr. i removed all of the useless stuff, its faast, rock solid stable, great battery life and everything works. IMHO!

I have used almost every setup there is, and most are pretty good, except they all have an issue or 2 that makes me feel incomplete when it comes to my phone.
Sense Roms: King's Ultra Froyo and Ultra Froyo 2, Koni's Elite 1 and Elite 2. ALL of those are pretty equal. Very fast, smooth, beautiful looking, but no matter what kernel I tried, battery life was garbage. One thing about my phone is I tried almost every NetArchy Kernel there is, I bet, and never got a good battery on a Sense ROM.
Miui: I can see why people like it, but I just don't like having all my apps on the desktop and switching to LPP takes away part of the allure of havng Miui. The theme changer wouldn't install any of the themes I downloaded. Plus, I had issues with screen flicker, but I understand I did the update wrong, so that may be where that came from. Also, I spent over an hour alphabetizing my apps... damn OCD!
CM7: By FAR the best battery life, with the kernel I use, SavagedZen 009, but the GPS navigation thing is an issue. I take my phone off the charger at 6AM, and by 11PM, after moderate to heavy use, I'm never below 50%. Still, I want those Sense Widgets. LPP has them, but in People, for instance, you don't get the user pics from Facebook, and all the entries are just the stock Android image. One other thing on CM7, that is intolerable, is that it takes a coon's age to copy anything to my SDCard. I did a back up, and reformat the other night and it took an hour and a half to copy my music back (just under a gig), for example
Right now, I'm running Destroyer, and the battery isn't as good as with nightly 14, but it's pretty good. BEtter than with any of the others I've tried. And whatever issues people have with this, I'm not having them. Everything is working good. Very fast, too.
For me, the best, most complete ROM there is, is VaelPak 3.2. It has everything you want. Almost like all the different Mods were combined to make one insane ROM. More custumization options than CM/Sense and MiUi put together, puls packs of goodies that come with the ROM installed on the SDCard. I can't remember why I took it off now, but I think it was the battery life, again, was horrible. Dropped 15% in less than 2 hours with the stock kernel. Although, I didn't keep it on long enough to really test other kernels with it, and there are a few that people using it say give them fanatastic battery life.

I love my CM7 nightlies. Nuff said!!!!!! <3

still waiting for the best...
i like warm z.. but it dont have hdmi and 4G. ffc can be worked around.
what dont you give your thoughts???

Well I just started flashing ROMs about 9 months ago and started a basically sense roms. I didn't really like them bc of limited customization and they were a little slow and battery was horrible. From there I stuck with an AOSP rom for about the past 6 months until a few weeks ago and read up a little on MIUI and tried that out for a whole 6 hours and hated it. I couldn't stand all my apps on the screen and no drawer. Really got on my nerves. Then tried out that Unleashed and was happy with that for about a week til I really started doing some reading up on CM and decided to try it out, loved it and everything about it. So now I'm a supporter of them, but am super stoked to try out this new SZ ROM. Think that might be the new rom of choice for me.
Edit: That good Dan?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

^^^ that will work...

Not sure why anyone hasn't said this yet but Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 is the best in my opinion. Might not have been updated in a while, but in my experience is the fastest Sense rom with lots of eye candy while still looking sleek/professional without going overboard, the best battery life (16 hours heavy use 30 with light use/good signal), and everything works. I know that AOSP roms have wimax now but gps has been hit and miss with every one of them (for gingerbread at least, I don't care for any 2.2 AOSP roms). Navigation definitely did not work.
I loved Evervolv and Savage but again, not everything works the way it should. Myn's is just the best daily driver. Battery life is phenomenal, I haven't been able to get more than 16-20 hours out of an aosp rom.

IMO (never h):
All the Sense ROMs are the same. They are just the same stock ROM with some heavy theming and maybe a custom tweak here and there ... but IMO if you're going to flash sense you're better off just checking the themes section and getting the look you want... because that's what they are.
Also keep in mind that Sense is likely a dead end as it is. I have doubts 2.3 will ever land on EVO .from HTC/Sprint... meaning it will never come to fruition in any Sense ROM. So it's a dead-end thing to support anyway.
AOSP is a different story. These are truly custom, already ahead of Sense if you're a version buff (2.3.3) and tend to run faster, smoother, and with A LOT less bloat. That said they aren't all flowers and rainbows either. Because they are actually scratch written they tend to not be feature complete (though team WIN is quickly changing that) so make sure you know what feature is missing and if that's a big deal to you.
That said, CM is the AOSP leader. It has the dev support, and most AOSP ROMs you'll notice are based on CM because they are nice enough to release under GPL rather than the default Apache agreement most others use. I like it for what it is, and it's the "best" if you like vanilla Android and want to follow what Google is doing with thier OS.
The other "best" IMO MIUI. It's behind CM in terms of the latest Android base (though GB is finally in the works), and it's closed source so it is missing things available in other AOSP ROMS ... but what it does bring to the table is amazing. It's better in battery, faster, the built in apps are worth paying for if they ever make it to market ... its an amazing ROM.
I secretly have wet dreams of MIUI and CM having an Android love child and bringing me my dream ROM ... until then I flip back and forth between the two.

I'm running a special rom called "dirk diggler rom" and if you want to use it deposit 500 bucks in my PayPal . P.S its better than any rom YOU will ever run on your evo lol.

The answer depends on your needs. For instance, I don't like the look of Sense but I also need 4G, GPS, Bluetooth and Camera working everyday. That limits me to a Sense based rom until CM7 stabilizes those things. For now, I'm getting by pretty well with Nonsense. It's not been updated recently and has minor flaws but the important things work for me everyday.
No one ROM does everything well. It's all about trade-offs. When you know your own needs, the filtering the choices should be a lot easier.

Which is your preference

So far I have tried CM7 and Nils Business Sense and I'm conflicted.
I really like the new Sense 2 UI that comes with Nils Business Sense, but I also like the speed from Android 2.3 from CM7.
Hard to decide which to stay with.

I've only used one ROM, and that's CM7. While I like Sense, I really like CM7's lack of it.

I'm between CM7 stable and Skyraider 3.5
Once Skyraider 4 drops I'll make a decision on which to stick with. I just flashed CM7 again earlier today, but I'll probably flash back tomorrow.

I'm a big CM7 fan. I view Android 2.3.3 more important than sense.

Warm z twopointtwo all the way. The appearance of 2.3 with sense 2.0 and a very well done UI. Give the newest nightly a shot....it may not be your cup if tea but I bet if you tried it you'd love it

Its a tough call. I happen to like the sense interface and widgets but there are parts of gingerbread and cm7 settings that are really awesome as well. Rocking cm right now but I too will likely flash skyraider 4.0 and I am quite a fan of warm z as well.

CM7 fan here...
I used to be a huge fan of skyraider. Was my goto ROM for several months. I then tried MIUI (great ROM... just not a fan of the UI), and a few others. I settled with warm 2.2. I used that ROM for quite some time and really liked it as well.
I eventually made my way to CM7 and have been using it for roughly two months now. Very stable and getting great battery life (you can see my config below). I've learned to significantly customize the UI and notification bar and have been very happy thus far.
I may try SR 4.0 or Myn's Z ROM... we'll see. The only thing constant with my phone is change
Happy Flashing

+1 for warm z 2point2. I had used skyraider 3.5 for a long time and am loving 2point2. I tried cm7 and it just wasn't for me...havent tried nils yet.

Nils new update is working fantastic for me!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

It depends what you value most. For me, battery life was a very major part in my decision- probably the most important.
CM7 with chad's kernel and a bit of underclock has some crazy good battery life, you probably already know that though.
To be honest I don't know why this is a post because it just comes down to preference
Nils is a great developer and very active on fixing any bugs or problems with his ROM's. If you shout him a change or something you'd like to see there's a real possibility you may see it in the next release.

I started out with Virtuous, switched onto Skyraider Athena, and now CM7.
I really enjoyed the sense aspect of everything, specifically the dialer and fb connectivity... other than that I didn't care much.
Then I switched to Athena, it was the best of both worlds, dash of sense, pinch of vanilla. basically was vanilla with the exception of dialer and the aforementioned.
Now on CM7 I decided to jump ship and go full vanilla, and it's awesome. The sheer amount of customization within the ROM (including all the themes) is just awesome, and I don't think I'd switch to anything else.

I had CM7 on mine for like 2 days and it ran great and then started to get really slow and stupid on me so I flashed back to Incredibly Re-Engineered 2.4. Over the past month I've grown to love sense (had an og droid for a year), but absolutely hate the dock thing for it. I wish I could have all the sense features but use a dock like ADW's.

My biggest gripe with the aosp roms was having to use a different lockscreen. I got so used to not even looking at my phone to unlock it, but cm7 has me covered there as you can choose from several lockscreens in the settings. The only other thing I really missed was the messaging widget but I was able to add a shortcut to the messaging app to my lockscreen slider so it's even easier to check my texts. I was only ever truly happy with Lou's redemptive revolution before cm7 came around.
