lol nice.
just to be helpful, here's a quote from a post of mine.
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.

I remember that post.
And yes, I support CM7 + Tiamat Kenel. Game WINNER.

Me too, apparently

Okay. I'm really confused. Which one of these are most recent and better?! (Myn's)

Well, one of the threads is "More than Meets the Eye" and is RLS 5 and as far as I can see supports 4G. Yet, last time it was updated was quite sometime ago.
The more recnt one is the one I'd assume would be better and faster and more preffered. Buuut, I don't see that it supports 4G, and its RLS 1. I don't have any idea what RLS means, but I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is...
Thanks guys!!!

Myns warntwopointtwo is actually the first Rom for the EVO and it was and still is one of the best looking roms in the EVO , warm z is a port not 4g and synergy is sense 2.1 mix with sense 3.0 the best of both world including 4g and gingerbread

Right, I was just on Synergy but my battery life was really bad, even with that power saver so I switched to try out MIUI again. Hadnt tried it since it first came out. Anyways, I still don't think I quite grasp what the difference is between More than Meets the Eye and Yabba Dabba Doo.

myn's warm twopointtwo is based on stock evo software (froyo, outdated software from december btw). it's an oldie but a goodie.
synergy is a project with like 8 devs on 3 phones that is a sense 3.0/2.1 gingerbread mix. it is (in many people's opinion) the best rom for the evo ever. battery is bad because htc hasn't released kernel source yet, so no kernel battery saving mods. bug htc on their twitter for them to release it lol.

I guess battery life on Synergy is a matter of your phone. I get good life out of it, I can easily go 24 hours with normal use and I leave BT, GPS, 4G and wireless on.
Some report that it needs to settle in, how long did you give Synergy?
dkdude, love your carousel and widgets for Synergy. Have you given any thought on trying to get landscape to work? Just asking as that would be da bomb! Anyways, thanks a lot. (Sorry for the hijack)

Best rom to use.

Whats the best rom to use thats fast and works good.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Pretty much all of the ones in the dev section are good. My advice: flash every one that you find interesting, use it for a day and if you hate it, flash a new one until you find one you like.

works well....

I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203761
It has been flawless for me. Lag free. Battery lasts all day. I even got the Profile and PRL to update by formatting my cache and dalvik-cache from recovery (Amon Ra).

Kings ROMs seem to be the best out

This is completely up to you. Sense vs AOSP vs a blend of both? What do you prefer?

I just want speed fast internet browsing
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Kinged Shooter is working well for me. Check them out in the XDA dev forum

Went on flashing overdrive since last week basically tried almost every ROM available
Ended up sticking with with Synergy Rls1. It's fast and stable and I'm a big fan of Warm Theme that goes well with that ROM.

Yeah I personally think that Synergy RLS1 is one of the most stable roms out there, also with decent battery life out of the box.

If AOSP is your thing, I would recommend SalvageMod 1.4 atm. Very bare bones with my fav Cyanogen elements, mainly notification switches.

MikG for sense
Decks for aosp

I'm running the latest beta of Decks & LOVE IT!

I would highly recommend Evolved Recharged. Probably one of the best ROMs out there right now.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk

so far my favorite is the MikG Sense 2.1-3.0 v2.5...
haven't had ANY problems with it at all so far, unlike a few others I've flashed recently.
It runs smooth & fast & everything works....

I had the best luck with the Sprint Lovers ROMs as well as kushdeck's clean and easy ROMs. I've been away from my EVO for a few months now (switched to Verizon and the Thunderbolt), but those were my go-to everyday use ROMs. Fast, stable, and no bloat.

I've started using CM7 with the CM6 turbo snap kernel and it's been insanely fast for me. but if anyone has any better suggestions, let me know

Def Miui. No doubt best rom there is. Only rom that I can honestly get a full days out of it. Soooooooo man customizations built right in. Only complaint about it is is that there is no 4G. Everything else works to perfection. Fastest, smoothest, best UI, best battery life, nothing beats it.

Myn's Synergy is pretty darn good too. And now he has an alternate version called Synergy+God mode which has more tweaks.

Which ROM do you prefer for your G2?

I'm not asking for the best ROM and why. I'm just asking what do you guys prefer and why?!? I'm getting my roommates G2 flash-ready and then we have to make a decision and he really has no idea and I haven't owned an HTC before so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Just list your preferred ROM, why and maybe some cool features you like about it.

CyanogenMod is my pick. It takes Android as Google meant it to be, and adds all sorts of functionality. Look here for a very incomplete list of extra goodies. It's a "function over form" kind of ROM.
This is all done by a team of tens of people around the world on a daily basis for years. It's really hard to find that kind of support, dedication, and reliability from any other ROM. Not to mention, the user base is HUGE so you can find support really easily if you're having any technical problems.

I'm very grateful for the CyanogenMod Nightlies. I have played with a few others, but keep coming back.
Why? For starters, check out their web page http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it shows what you are in for. Vanilla Android. The best part for your room mate to know, is that they don't have to stick with it if they are unhappy. The G2 is very easy to wipe and flash. Use a backup file like MyBackup or Titanium. Then flash back and forth till you find what you prefer.
But I always go back to CM!

MIUI.
I've tried all the ports out there for at least a week each.
I started off with CM7, as my favorite, but I've begun to like MIUI more because of it's "out of the box" completeness. There's tons of usability customisations I used to implement on the CM7 rom, but I have to do very little on MIUI to get my phone to the same level of productivity as CM7 does. SO yeah, I'm on MIUI now. ^_^

I guess I am the rogue here, don't like CyanogenMod ROM's or any CM7 based variant - they're fast, but they always seem buggy to me - I like either G-lite or G-Slim, these are very stock gingerbread, with mild or no overclocking, and mind-blowing battery life and most of all NO ISSUES - no GPS not working, no wifi calling or tethering issues, no force closes all the time, you get the picture.
but to each his own - wouldn't be a very interesting world if we all used the same ROM!

Same, I dont really like CM roms.
Virtuous roms are nice. G-lite or unity.

I use Virtouse Trentacinque at the moment. its only beta, but it's the best sense 3.5 rom out there.

I use InsertCoin Sense 2.1+3.0. I like Sense nad this rom has the best combination of using only the most interesting Sense 3.0 widgets with speed and low memory use of Sense 2.1.

miui are the best roms!
MIUI ftw!

PyroMod FTW

[Bulletproof] MIUI for looks
CM7 for functionality

ive been using G2 Slim for a week now and its the best ROM ive used so far. its fast, clean and has the best battery life when paried with the new radio update from tmo.

There is a thread like this at least once a week.
As you can see, its a matter of personal taste, and those tastes vary quite a bit. Once the phone is rooted, it only takes about 5 minutes to flash a new ROM (after its downloaded). So your buddy should compare features listed for the ROMs, then just pick a few, and try them to see which he likes best. Do a backup with clockworkmod before flashing a custom ROM, just in case he wants to return to the stock ROM easily.

My thoughts exactly and g lite here too!

Like redpoint said, try it and see what you like. Me personally I've really started liking mexdroid, it's got the functionality of cm7 but is nicer to look at, flashier and pretty but still fast.

Glite battery life light use not bad, and fast and stable.

Tapatalk hosting sucks lol, it reads 10 1/2 hours exactly and I'm at 78 % battery life

I like CM7 and MIUI. CM7 because it's fast and full of features, and MIUI because it is extremely customizable.

Speed,animations, battery life, dev support,and ICS theme. Get the combo in my sig!
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO ROM/ICS CM7 theme.

Bulletproof MIUI for now... probably unless Sense 3.5 ROMs get smooth and stable. CM7 on Vision is also great, but I've already got bored with it on ZTE Blade

My battery life

I am running MikG V 3.11 and the Anthrax Kernel.
I charge my phone using boot manager to boot to a Froyo ROM with netarchy SBC kernel.

As you can see, with the Seidio 3500 battery, I get 36 hours on a charge. It takes sometimes 8 hours or so for the battery to reach absolute full charge. Meaning when plugged in to wall charger, thw mA input is 0 on battery monitor widget.
Been doing this for months now and show no decrease in Battery life.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

the 2 spikes are not charges, that is when I did a reboot. I was having trouble getting an app to close completely, so I rebooted the phone to see if I could get it to shut off that way and it worked.
It also does not show that I played Solitare for 5 hours, and spades for 4 hours on there. Not sure why. I was in waiting rooms a few times yesterday and had lots of just sitting time to blow.

im gunna get a siedeo soon, this just got me more excited =] as long as my battery last me all day ill be very happy

Well, the battery will last all day for sure, but if you dont charge with sbc it will never ever charge past 70% capacity no matter what you try.

I think that there are sbc kernels for the asop roms. I am a sense man.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

There is no current Sense gingerbread kernel with SBC. Apparently there are issues with it (not sure, I try not to compile kernels).
OP> I'f your swapping ROM's every day after charging the battery, why not use an AOSP rom with a current SBC kernel? Just curious, because if something comes up where you need the phone asap and don't have a chance to reboot it back to the gingerbread rom, you may run into problems with the radios being built for gingerbread but the rom running froyo.
jroller > no, the lionfish line is not SBC. the more is just the amount of under-volting involved.

To boot between the two really isn't a big issue and while you are booted to the Froyo rom your phone will still be able to make/recieve calls, texts, emails and everything else you might like if it's set up.
The OP probably prefers a Sense Rom so that's why they are not using an AOSP rom i would venture to guess.
Naters

I use Boot Manager to change between ROMs, it only takes the same amount of time to switch as it does to reboot the same ROM.
Boot Manager is a really cool app once you get the ROMs set up correctly.
And I dont like any ASOP ROMs at all. I tried them, just not for me.

Just get a external battery wall charger, just pop the battery in and it will be done in a few hours. Cheap on ebay.
