What's wrong with the development section where u got iced glacier from??
i got iced glacier from another site. i was thinking there'd be like a page or somethingwith just roms on it.

Again bro, the development section
2low2rl only download stuff from XDA under Dev idk why you would trust it anywhere else. BTW which version of IG are you using? As IGv1.1.6 came out yesterday and is good so you might want to flash it or you can use other alternatives like Evil 4G HD, GorillaSens DHD, Evil 4G MIUI, CM7A.

I would recommend only using ROMs from trusted sources. Cyanogen(mod), XDA, TheUnlockr are the ONLY sites that i trust. When you get into rooted phone, and personal information. It's just to easy for someone to input a leaching protocol, or not have all the files in line and what not.
If you are looking for GOOD ROMs use the XDA's Development section. There are plenty of good stuff in there.
I would venture away from CM7 if you are a new comer to the android world. I don't want to sound like and belittling you but there are some extra steps one must go though to get to work correctly, and honestly gingerbread isn't that different from FroYo.
CM7 isn't hard to flash. Yes there are extra steps, but the info is readily available.
As far as ive seen, all roms lead to the great Xda forums

New ROMS based on what??? We have HTC Sense ROMs for Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 and AOSP CM 6.1. What else are you looking?
Personally I hate visiting the other device forums because everybody and their brother has 'cooked' up another ROM (mostly just new themes or added favorite apps). IMO who has time to stiff through all the various ROMs and threads? I find it much easier to review 3 different ROM threads and try to help others than to try and go through 10 or 15 threads and seeing messages such as 'well this worked on this ROM but it doesn't on that ROM, why not?'
OK, I'll get off my soap box now...
I agree. Plenty of good variety in the ROMs we have.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. Sometimes it's a good thing because there are more people developing towards something greater. We have 1 or 2 guys doing all this work. There are some pretty badass ROMs for the more popular phones out there. If we had more people developing and cooking, we'd no doubt have something better than what we have even now.
Screw those giant phones.
But a little more ROMS would be cool, we just need more people with the Aria.
It's not a bad phone...hah.

Not too sure, as I have only had the Aria and used the two ROMS.
it's not a bad thing that we may only have 3 roms, but they are actually good quality roms, not just thrown together, and they are constantly being updated, but it would be kool if they had more help with them.

I recently rooted and installed CM6.1.0RC2, and only thing I'd say it's missing is Flash Lite compared to Sense. Wish there was a way to get Flash Lite on CM, sadly not possible. Still loving CM though. Might test Sense again when there's an official Froyo update from AT&T and attn1 has taken out all the bloatware.

Wow I think some people have a serious misunderstanding about what "bare bones" means.
i think there's a version of the base that is used for mikfroyo. basically all sprint stock except the files have been trimmed to not include other language options or something
OP- you need to clarify if you mean "closest to a stock evo rom" or "closest to aosp android" or something else. You can find an RUU (rom update utility) by searching in the dev section if you want a stock evo. You should also be able to find a flashable zip instead of the ruu. If you want base android, check out some of the aosp roms, but keep in mind it won't have any sprint crap, including 4g (except cm7 nightly roms). If you want a stock evo (with sense) but without uninstallable bloatware (sprint tv, nascar, friendstream, etc) check out maybe sprint lovers, which should let you uninstall that stuff.
I would check out Aamikam's base rom. He trimmed out a lot of stuff but it still has all the apps. If you want a near sense less, minimal rom, look for neoevo (or evoneo) which is based on Aamikam's rom but without all the bloatware and not so much evening.

theming
i kind of take it "bear bones" means all the phone needs to run... nothing more. (The op didn't really explain to well what they wanted )
If that is a correct assumption, there really is no rom out there like that.
Lol wow.... you really donated to me? xD i got the email when i wasn't on here and was a little confused
I don't know if he made a rom but I know JoeyKrim is into that very stripped down thing.
Isn't there a wiki with details of the different roms and what was the goals from the dev who kanged them together?
Give Frost Rom a shot, easily the fastest rim because of how stripped it is, but you lose some of the sense functionality.
Kings unleashed Rom. Fast and bare. Plus after you flash Dalvik2cache mod you have 312 mbs free. That's very bare

Read it carefully. There is a post in that thread about a new tool that will work with any hboot.
Also saw this in the post on page 3.
"This got out before we could make a formal announcement, but unrevoked and alpharev will be merging sometime in the near future. We've always been very close, but we will be officially merging..."soon"."
Could be a big deal. Myn has said he's going to put out an app that automatically exploits some sort of temporary root hack when you reboot the phone. I imagine this would allow for root apps to work, but I don't think it'll allow for ROM flashing.
heck yeah if this works with all hboots, then game on!!!

If I read whats in the thread that the OP posted they say it works with all current hboots. So with them saying that it should work for the locked down Evo4g. I hope to heck it does, no root sux. Sounds like hopefully we won't have to wait much longer tho.
Heres my question that hopefully someone with more dev skills can answer... Supposedly sometime September-ish HTC is going to release an unlocked bootloader for the Evo 3d. Could someone utilize that to discover a flaw in the non-unlocked bootloaders and develop a root method for the Evo's in case this new tool doesnt cut the cake?
Whats with the 1.30 hboot? mines only 1.16
theres already a thread with the progrss to date on this, its a strong possibility we might see the root soon, just hold on to your panties and let this guys finish their work, already an exploit has been found with a temp root, although its not easily reproduced, but its a hole
Great news, I hope those guys do get it done. I'll contribute some cash to them for their hard work..
I for one am praying to the Evo Dev's and Gods out there that a Root is coming soon. I'm sick of my Evo and the bloatware.. almost wish I wouldnt have used my upgrade from LG Optimus S to Evo 4g.. Didnt really care for the Evo3d as it hurt my eyes after a bit, and even though the screen size says they are the same 4.3" I still think the Evo 4g has a better screen..

well your best bet to learn about them... is to read about them. every ROM has a huge list of features and screenshots. do the homework and make your choice that way.
This thread I believe has all but one of the ROMs available for the Atrix listed in it if you scroll down, it's near the bottom, then you can go through each thread, look at screen shots, requirements to flash, etc. When I was trying to decide which ROM to flash first I used this thread as a guide, kept it open in one tab and opened the threads for each individual ROM in another tab.

I agree that Alien is a great ROM (I'm using it), but it's not a Vanilla ROM as the OP has asked for, and it's not as de-blurred as, say, Ninja or something. I dunno how usable Ninja is now, as Sam had to temporarily leave it for CM work...
@OP, you could surely flash the CM7 pre-beta, as it's quite stable. The only major thing that doesn't work as of now is the Camera, I believe...
You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?

I really like Sense Roms, especially sense 3.0. I was rocking a stock, rooted rom, but got tired of HTC dragging their feet releasing the source code for the Shift. I flashed CM 7.1 stable, with Scary Ghoul 3 kernel, running at 1.5 gHz. But, if HTC already had source code for the gingerbread release, I'd still be on a sense rom.
Created a whole thread about this. Here you go.

If you like Sense then it's gotta be Supreme Sense. Real nice ROM with lots of bells and whistles and a very nice camera app.
Me personally, I prefer CM7. I want raw performance and the maximum amount of customizability and CM7 offers all that more than any other ROM.

The thread you specified was...
[INFO] Cyanogenmod 7 optimal settings for Evo Shift 4G on SPRINT (Updated 10-7-11)
Which is not what I'm looking for, I happened to say I was looking into CM7, but would be open to another OperatingSystem all together. CM7 does good work, but honestly they are the only ones I know about. So I would be narrowminded to assume the only one I know about would be the best choice. Since alot of people on this forum have done alot to their phones their input on a recommended OS will be followed.
Well I'm sure you know it depends on your usage, and preferences. I'm a Sense kind of guy. If your looking for a sort of stock Rom with a lot of extras that's quick, than MikShifted G v1.75 is a great choice. Stable, Reliable, and Fast. If your looking for something a little more over the top that's still stable, reliable, and fast. Than Supreme Sense is it, eye candy plus.
