The dev for this rom doesn't post here, I wish he would... This has been a great rom for me, and I have tried about every rom out atleast once with the exception of chevy. All phones not created equal, this has been smooth straight out the door. For anyone looking for a new rom, id highly suggest giving this one a try. I am in NO way affiliated with this rom, but I enjoy this forum above the others and think others here will enjoy this rom also! BTW, this is a themed rom.

Can this rom be ported to mytouch4g ?

Best rom i've used so far if u want speed,reliability, and color. This rom is very stable for me at 1.45. It gets warm but only under heavy use like movies gaming etc. I score a 2500 on benchmark with low voltage @ 1.2 and runs best at that setting for me with the longest battery life usually around a full day with heavy use and consistent music playing.

Question, Have you run into any problems with Apps, like Adobe Flash 10.1. I'm using Droid Eris after rooting but ordered new Droid X as replacement. So far, Eris runs much better, but I want to find a stable rom to install on my DX. I want to start rooting my DX but didn't want to brick the phone.

DarkSide is Ultimate!!
Hey gang, some of you know me from starting out here in the HTC Windows Mobile arena. Since moving to Droid, I was worried about you folks at first, but now I see that you are in very good hands. Your Droid membership and development seems to be moving along nicely. The gentleman who initiated this thread is quite right...this is an awesome ROM and I would welcome others to give it a shot - you will not be disappointed. For the record, I'm guilty, I have definitely gone to the Dark Side.
This ROM is definitely underrated. I tried it as an almost last choice. I can't believe that there is not more buzz over this one. It is the best of the bunch that I tried. IMO anyway.

Lovin' me some tasty Froyo, with Sky Raider 1.9.
CM too. Tried Sky Raider, but CM is just so clean and fast I had to switch back. I can live without a camera for a couple weeks
Interested to see the replies to this one as well - I would love to go to CM6, but losing the camera means too much to me right now (work related, sadly).
I tried out CM6 (Koush_Test) last night. The one interesting thing I noticed, was the battery was draining like crazy. The battery stat said the display was utilizing 75%.
I went back, due to not having the Camera... When you have kids, I need to be ready.. It was fun to mess with.
I am on Jager 1.8ota and stock kernel and I love it I was on his 1.8 with the hydra 1.13 kernel which is really great too!
Stock 2.1! I have overclocked/hacked every electronic device in my house that could possibly have it done except for my phone. I want to wait for the official Froyo OTA update then have a go at it (in the meantime I will just have to settle with jtagging my Xbox 360 and setting it up to run games off an external HD =).
Been using 1.2 yasr and have been really happy. I think i just like launcher pro though. Love to do cm6 but the camera is an issue for me as well. Official froyo will be welcomed.

It's good. Basically rooting your phone, removing the junk (sense included), leaving exchange support and adding launcher pro.

It's way better it's like stock ROM but without sense and a lot faster and it has great batterylife!! i'm actually using it and it proved that it's the best out there, with an undervolt and overclock hydra kernel you don't need anything else, would love to use skyrider 1.9 but i'm waiting for the camera, i already tried jagger, CM and basically everyone on incredibleroms dot com and believe YASR is way better if you need link just search here in the forum yasr 1.1! =) cheers

what ROM has everythinig working ON THE HTC EVO?? AND which one the most awesome one!? SOME SCREEN SHOTS WOULD BE AWESOME.. if you guuys could help me here! I got bored of just trying out different launchers.. wanna go into different ROMS! THANKS!!
Flash them and try them out. I liked running Myn's Z rom for a while to try out the new Sense (which is suwheet), now I'm running Sprint Lovers which has everything working (as you say), with a few extras. For real though, just try them out, worst you can do is waste some time setting up your phone again. But hey, you said you were bored so that shouldnt be a deturbance.
MIUI is the best ROM around, period. It is the perfect balance of style and substance. 4G does not work but it is a fair trade off. We just got gingerbread but it still has a few kinks to be worked out. I recommend flashing one of the latest Froyo builds.
It all depends on what you want.

Many of the ROMs listed as threads in the Development section have screenshots of them, as appearance is a huge deciding factor for many of us. Take a look around and you'll see!

I'm running Myn's Warm Z right now (which lacks 4G, but eh, I never use it anyway, 3G is more than adequate) and Sense 2.0 is damn sweet. It's gorgeous, responsive, fluid, and just has minor touches here and there that most people really enjoy.
MIKFROYO is a great rom to try,,
I guess I need to try Mik's now... !

I've tried a few Roms, the latest being CM7 and VaelPak. After 2 weeks with those Roms, I went back to Myn. No GPS or voicemail issues, and everything runs smooth. I think Myn Warm Z is the best looking Rom, but the lack of 4G made it a dealbreaker as my daily driver.
Yea.. ive never even done a nandroid.. haha.. but ill follow some instructions and i should be fine.. hopefully.. with the radio updates.. do i have to have a current one for it to wrk on ROMS o no?

You root your phone once, the Rom it self is not rooted. They usually come with tethering and the hotspot fix.

Welll... technically... Rim also goes on Blackberry... but yeah, misspelling was much more likely here on the DX forum.
Just wait til Friday when liberty 1.75 comes out. It's by kejar31 who makes gummy jar and by Jrummy16. I had gummy jar and I switched a month ago and just saying but I like liberty better.
I've tried almost all if the top contenders for best rom and they're all good in their own respect. I liked Liberty bc its easy to customize, Apex for its battery life, didn't really dig tranquility all that much but its still a solid rom, but in the end I chose rubix for its speed and battery life. For my droid x, rubix has run faster, smoother, and longer than with any of the other roms.

I will have to say after obsessively flashing every rom with the same settings and oc. DarkSlide 4.2 is the winner hands down testing with quadrant and smartbench 2011. Smoothest fastest and fully themed with very nice taste. Very good support from the devs BBCrackman. GatesJunior. Natty Bee. Not to mention 4.3 is about to drop anyday now. This rom cured me from DX Flashenitis and saved alot of ag from listening o the old lady *****ing about too much time spent screwing with my phone. Not only a excellent rom but makes for a happy home.
Thanks you all for your help im now running apex 1.4.1 so we will see it I like it
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I know the feeling, I've flashed Rubix, Tranq, Gummy, DarkSlide,Liberty and Apex. Gummy I got a 1749 Quadrant Benchmark never got more than 1560 on the others. I liked Gummy the best but Liberty has got more options. Funny what you say about your old lady, mine too. Of course in the process of flashing I have become very adept at SBF. Anyone messing with their phone that much learns the hard way. Thank God for the forums! Thanks Guys!
I've been getting quadrant scores around 1760ish using liberty 1.5 oc'd to 13.5 using medium voltage.

ok guys, so today i will be bringing you guys a video of my Rooted Droid incredible and i will be running a Game Lag Test for you
I am using the Liberated v3.0 Custom ROM and Stock HTC Kernal
(if you guys can recomend a good Custom kernal for little as possible lag, good connection, and good battery life, it would be greatly appreciated)
ok guys so tell me what you think
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPw2fhHgLHg
Looks pretty awful as far as lag goes. If there was a free version of NFS I'd try it out as a comparison but unfortunately $10 is way too much.
I've never been happy with any Sense based ROM. Always slow and atrocious battery life. CyanogenMod for me. Much smoother and more customizable. If you want to stick with Sense I really can't give a good recommendation. The day I left Sense for CM I never once looked back.
Wat are u using to capture this ?

That's interesting, I actually prefer sense. Cm actually had worse batt life on my phone anytime I used it in comparison. I would suggest using the ultimateinc Rom 1.1. I've had my phone on with light use using tinys kernel since 8 this morning, It's 630p right now, and its at 70%. I would say that's great batt life.

This. Are you using an app on the device? It looks like you are, and that alone will slow it down horribly.
I'm a previous Incredible owner and I am actually the developer of the ROM you're using. NFS Shift ran just fine on mine.

Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible using xda premium
Asked this before, but may have gotten lost in the shuffle, so thought I'd try again...
So I've been looking at the Sense 3.5 ROMs, and was hoping to get some opinions on the pros and cons of each... my friend just flashed Energy and seems to like it, but I was kinda looking at the new Warm or the three versions by "Root" on themikmik forums... Anyone tried all three? What makes each of these different?
I tried Warm TwoPointThree did not like it too much mainly cause the battery life sucked for me. The rom itself was nice i liked it aside from the battery. But i went back to energy 3.5 get really good battery life running the Anthrax kernel.
But just experiment with the rom's and figure out what one runs best for your handset. What runs good for me might not run good for you.
I also went with Energy after trying Warm. For some reason Warm just would not work well with my phone. It was very buggy no matter how I tried to fix it. I believe this was an isolated incident though. I like Energy because I get tons of battery life and it just works well.

Thanks for the replies. What is Radience? I don't think I've seen that one in the development section.
I find most of the good sense 3 roms to be very similar. I think radiance is probably the most developed and best performing. Those blaze devs have been spending a boatload of time on sense 3.5 since very early on. Vins final release and warm are also very good.

Just curious here, what does warm have that say radiance or energy doesn't that makes u say its more complete? Just wondering. Thanks.
In my opinion energy at this point. It's smooth, fast and looks nice. I am running the Anthrax kernal and I get great battery life and no problems what so ever. Like the developer NRG says, "It just works".
i didnt like warm because of the feel and battery life energy is awesome on battery life but mms doesnt work. boost mobile
