I like using YouTube and my camera above anything. The ESPN site too. I want hulu. What ROM is suggested for my usage
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I use the ESPN site, YouTube and my Camera often. Not a big Hulu guy. I run Miki and love it. Came from Sprint Lovers and probably won't go anywhere else.
Lots of people run Myns too though.
Maybe try both? I'm partial to Mik
Yah. I'm guessing I should test both, won't hurt. Thanks. I do have another question.... how do I backup my phone, is it an easy step?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Nandroid backup in recovery.
if you dont care about themeing , id just use sprint lovers, i keep trying mikfroyo because its supposed to be sooooo fast, how ever i dont notice any speed increase over myns and keep going back. Myns is just sexy/classy, some of the other roms look "cheaper", i spend forever trying to theme them to my liking, and then wipe and nandroid back to myn. lol
id just pick the one that you think looks best.
ALSO, once you root, you will install a recovery,(click me, im the best). from that recovery menu, you can create whats called a nandroid back up. so you can set every thing up how you like it, nandroid, then try a differnt rom, if you want to go back, you go back into recovery and restore you previous nandroid back up. its easy
Nandroid back up is done through recovery,to back up individual apps I use ti back up.
Thank you for the replies. A great help all around.

I already rooted and have nandroid. So basically that nandroid will back up my apps and contacts for the new Rom?

Turn phone off>hold power and volume rocker down and wait for phone to boot into recovery.>go to nandroid backup/restore.>go to backup and make a nand backup. Takes from 3~5 minutes to finish. And now you have created a nand backup.
A nand backup pretty much clones your current system. Contacts apps etc. it does not let you restore apps our contacts to another rom. You need to use something like titanium backup

I'm using mikfroyo and it is just great. Use mikfroyo!

I like myn's better, but I get massive delays in my texts on that ROM, so I have switched to miki when I need 4G (salvage mod is my daily). If/when RLS 6 comes out I will test it out and hope the text issues go away. I'm not knocking myn's, and I appear to be in the minority with this issue.
Since I got my Evo a couple weeks ago, I installed MikFroyo.
I keep telling myself I want to wipe and try a few of the other ROMs like MiUi, however Mik's runs so smoothly and haven't noticed any issues with it, so have yet to get rid of it. That should say something for it.
i have Myn RLS5... run Hulu just fine and youtube too.
i like the look of Myn and all the black.
i have been tempted to go get a basic Froyo and drop Launcher Pro on it.
I have tried both, and prefer Myns. You should try both of them, and see which you like better. I have nothing bad to say about either of them, I just like Myn's better. I love having options though, and trying new roms. So try them both, and see which works better for you.
I love both roms but find myself going to Mik. It seems to just move through menus quicker then myns and just a tad snappier. Both amazing roms. Mik if you want a little faster myns is you want a really sexy looking theme
just about every sense based rom will do every thing you want fine. Some roms sem to work better on some peopels phones then others (or its all int here head). I personally prefer FRESH and EVIO. Myn's is cool but most people like it simply because of the look, since i have a theme i use i have incorporated the parts of myn's look i like into my regular theme and can use any rom now with that look.
In my experiance having flashed jsut about every sense based rom/versino. you wont see dramatic diffrence (except in your head).
It's all about CM, hands down best rom in my opinion.

You should have really made a poll for this thread. Would have probably been easier

To the op, a nandroid baxks up your rom, like a failsafeto go back to if something goes wrong. Use titanium backup to backup your apps, and your contacts will be backed up on your google account and will resync to your phone when you log back in.
I'm going with myns warm
I've been trying different roms like i was a teenage girl looking for a prom dress the last couple days and I'm pretty happy with the appearance and performance of myns warm with warm blood theme am looking for the keyboard to go with it but i'm really happy with the overall rom ,I put a living wallpaper with it ,looks like a blood river.I would just like to say thanks to the developers of this rom.

Pretty much the same as Mast above. I keep a nandroid backup of CM6 as well as Liberated on my phone, and switch back and forth, but spend 90% of my time in Liberated.
I can't wait for "Liberated" 2.2...
CM6. Here's why...
Freedom, battery life, speed, lack of Sense (I hated it), and flexibility.
CM6...im loving the battery life, the speed, and the flexibility. I was hesitant to make the switch from Liberated at first because I'd lose Sense...but I dont miss Sense at all.
I don't even remember what Sense feels like. I just don't like the linkage in contacts. Liberated had been improved a lot with features that comparable with CM6 so I think I'm going to nandroid both for fun.
I'm still on the fence, I want to try and give Cyanogen another shot (I only ran it for a few hours before going back to Liberated), but right now I'm running Liberated, mainly because I'm still very close to the stock ROM that I'm comfortable with, while still getting perks like root, tethering, and a lack of bloatware. One thing I really hate about Cyanogen in comparison to Liberated/Stock is the call screen. When someone calls you and it has the choice to answer/deny, I think the stock looks a million times better. I also dont like the status bar
I prefer CM6 all day everyday.
I hate the HTC dialer and contacts replacement, "people". I don't need more category possibilities for my contacts than I have contacts. I want to be able to bring up contacts and do a one touch dial, without having to have a full page widget to access favorites quickly.
I don't like that with the Sense UI, HTC has taken Android so far from AOSP that is takes months for them to get updates complete after the Nexus One is updated. Then it takes more months for carriers to approve those updates for use on branded phones.
Sense is nonsense, IMO. Of course you may feel differently, and that's why we have choice.
Dito on the contacts "people" list. You just remind me where was my head ache. Both roms do have goods and bads
for those of your going back and forth between liberated and cm6, do you have to make any changes to your installed apps or you simply wipe everything and use clockwork to load one or the other ?
I'm with you two about the contacts; the HTC "improvements" are anything but.
However, I do like the sense dialer and a lot of other things about sense.
I used CM on my G1 from day one, and there were always little "gotchas:" lags, force closes, things that didn't quite work. That may not be the case with CM on the Aria, but I really like the way the phone works now. It even took me a while to root and try Liberated: nothing was broken.
That said, choice is beautiful. Many thanks to attn1 and everyone at CM for providing that.
Cyanogen
Because I don't like sence as much as I thought I would. Pluse I think CyanogenMod has more features.

If I dump sense for cm, will I lose the nice HTC flash player integration? I understand flash in 2.2 isn't supported by aria CPU?
If the CPU didn't support Flash then how would an HTC app make it suddenly support it? You'll be fine.

The fact is flash 10.1 only works on Froyo, and if you have an Arm7 Cpu. The aria does not have the correct cpu. Flash was compiled for that cpu ONLY. What the aria has is Flash Lite from HTC, not the same.

I too have had glitches and lockups with CM that i don't have with Liberated. For those that don't like the contacts integration of HTC, then you should really try Dialer One from the market. Cm is very configurable, but Liberated to me is more stable. If not for Dialer One I would probably live with the daily lockup I had with CM6.

HTC has a proprietary flash lite. Not fully featured but in many cases sufficient. Certainly beats nothing. I like having it but doesn't make CM6 a deal breaker for me.
Ive learned not to care about Sense UI but not having App Market is an issue. I cant find things through app brain or even ways to side install them because I cant find most of the actual apps.
How do I put the App Market back into CM6? Thanks.
I've only Used Rubix 1.0 but was think about switching to Fusion. Whats your favorite?
You should try them all out and decidde what one is best for you. In a ROM I look for stability so perfomance, and for me this was rubiX.
If you like rubiX try updating to the new version (1.6) http://www.droidforums.net/forum/drod2169-x/93478-rubix-focused-1-6-a.html
Thanks. When updating from rubix 1.0 to 1.6 do I have to wipe data and cache or can I just update over top of my current version of rubix? Also I have the incognito red theme installed I don't know if that matters.
All the info you need is in the link. You can install right over 1.0 but Personally I would format everything (except SDCard) before installing it.
I've tried all of them. I ended up back at ZapX after fission and rubix had TONS of reboots... Many times a day, everyday... Basically though, since they haven't unlocked it completely yet, you can make your own "rom" by rooting, installing any of the custom roms, getting titanium and uninstalling any unnecessary or unuseful apps... You can also overclock it yourself with the 99 cent DX/D2 Overclock app. AND you can get another app called MinFreeManager and customize the speed even more. Be careful and read the instructions on that one though! I use ZapX and did all of these things and my X flies! It only reboots occasionally if I'm trying to do too much and thats probably because I have it overclocked too much. I get high 1700 Quadrant scores and I'm quite pleased with it right now...
Fission, but can't go wrong with any of them
Fission is pretty good but it's really all about getting what you want out of a ROM. I suggest trying them all and seeing what fits you best.

Ive been using fission and love the speed. also i havent had 1 fc in it yet. If you want a good Vanilla build try fission, but with roms everone likes something different just try them all!
have used flyX, apeX, and now fission. Fission is the fastest/cleanest in my opinion. only blur i put back on it was the blurcamera.apk, other than that make sure your contacts are on google.

Any tips on getting Metamorph working? It gets stuck at applying for me.
Edit: Never mind. Reboot didn't fix it, but strangely force quitting it and trying again did.
I'm using ZapX, it's the only one I tried because I don't have a lot of time to fiddle around with reconfiguring ROMs and such and I'm new to Android in general
It's great with the exception of the rebooting issues.
GPS doesn't seem to work amazingly, but that could be my area. I didn't have the stock ROM long enough to make a comparison.

I've flashed about all of the DX Roms I could find and I find myself coming back to stock rooted. Nothing on any of the roms seem to grab my attention to stick with them. It seems like I can do whatever I need on stock rooted, anyone else feel this way? What's all of the negativity towards Blur?
mostly all the bloatware that runs in the background. my roommate is on a stock DX and i run things without oc'ing incredibly faster than him, and he doesn't understand why.
mine doesn't have cityID, amazon mp3, social networking, dlna, kindle, skype, blockbuster all runnin in memory for no reason.
there is use for some of the blur stuff, but its mostly becuase its laggy and bloated... at least for me.
Ok, so this is not only for Viper users, this is for everyone, on any ROM. Please don't post things like "working gps" because the devs can't do anything right now. But what features would you like in a ROM? ...This will give us an idea for updates... if something is needed by enough people, I'm sure everyon
e will incorporate it into their ROMs...
And the rest is up to you.....
I love the VIPERrom 3.0.3. Things about it- stability, speed (I think), custom launcher (zeam launcher). I'd like a cool notif bar. I'm currently using emotionless beast from Mystery. But the 3.0.3 was cool too. To each his own, but I like the colors and such in my themes. And lightweight (keep the bloatware to a minimum).
Keep up the good work Viper team. I tried Apocalypse 4.0.2c for a couple days but went back to trinity 3.0.3. Had a couple problems that I was too lazy to work through. All my fault. I'll go back to 4.0.2c soon.
I look for a rom that cuts as much crap out that I don't need and incorporates as much stuff that I do. This isn't always possible because of individual tastes, but some cookers are better(for me) than others. I also look at theming, which needs to look professional, for me to consider it.

I want support for RFS. Seems almost everyone is making the switch to EXT4 but luckily there are a few that still support those of us using RFS! Other than that I like having Touchwiz stripped out. I always wanted it before but after using Midnight Rom I just don't want it anymore. I bought ADW EX and that's the way for me to go!
Although I'm not running ViperROM, I love the idea behind the viperstore. Regardless of what ROM thread you're in, you see people asking for AOSP lockscreens, themes, certain APK's, etc. I think that with the relatively small community of devoted developers for the epic, there could be a common repository for people to go to for their personalization needs.
Just food for thought. Keep up the good work on ViperROM!

No Launcher (or a very unique one like what was mentioned earlier)
no sprint bloatware.

Somehow increased speeds for the data cuz for me the governor killer isn't doing much either.
no annoying startup/shutdown sounds (could be muted)
Slick but professional theming.
No more bubble SMS
stock battery icon. (seems like all the circle ones ping the battery info too often and it kills my battery. Like dropping 25% overnight doing nothing with no widgets installed whatsoever.)
I'm tired of repackaged Roms that just have a different theme and maybe one or two things taken out or added in that I could do myself.
I like a clean slate rom like Naked Bonsai and add the themes and addons myself. I like Midnight just because they got rid of touchwiz. I wish ViperROM would not come with all the themes built in. Undervolting and unique features are nice as well.
So basically, I want clean and stable with themes belonging in the theme section and a nice bunch of addons. I honestly doubt we're gonna be having many unique Roms till kernel source comes out though

I agree about ViperROM theming. I would prefer more of a blank slate. But the developer is free to make their rom however they want. I just have to not complain and change it myself
I just want a stock rom. No custom launcher, no sprint apps, no touchwiz, just stock. Maybe overclocked to 1.2ghz, but stock and built in tethering support (doesn't have to wifi, I can deal with usb) cause paying extra for the same data is bull****.

Is that the only thing keeping the Liberty ROM from utilizing the HDMI port? I was under the impression that it was broken no matter what with that ROM... I had heard this before and put the blur gallery on a friend's DX so he would stop complaining about it and it still doesn't work. I'm beginning to think that it's just a poor install of the ROM, but at anyrate...
Yeah liberty doesn't have the ability to do hdmi out. Because that was a blur element and this is stock android. I already contacted kejar about it and he said he may tinker with it if he gets the chance. I'm pretty sure none of the ROMs have HDMI capability though. Since they're all stock based.
Liberty - no hdmi
I'm also pretty sure Liberty is a no go with HDMI, I know apex supports it, probably a few other blur based roms too. I'd say switch roms, then come back to liberty when/if they add the feature.
Your other option would be to make a Liberty Backup, install Apex or other Blur Rom, and make a backup of apex, then use clockwork to switch back and forth, but thats kinda a hassle....

So, I have a phone that just screams, smooth and stable as **** with everything I liked from the stock ROM.

I'm using the MIUI Tim and I love it I guess my only issue is that I'm not experiencing that long battery life everyone is speaking of am I doing something wrong... help lol I have the cyotogen 7 kernel if that helps
sttonydamunsta luv my evo4g
I wasn't thrilled with the lack of the app drawer but that's easily fixed by loading another launcher. When I was using MIUI it was Launcher Pro.
MIUI looks like iOS after a fresh flash, but it doesn't have to. That's what I love most about it, I can theme every aspect of it. I use Alt Drawer, so I have an app drawer.
Plus it's smooth, has a lot of neat apps, and is different than any other rom I've seen. I switched to it because I was bored with CM7 and didn't like Sense. That was in April and I haven't looked back.

Or just throw all your apps into a folder and put it on the dock.

i tried that, but the more apps i put in, the laggier it got for some reason, and it was really cramped, kind of annoying to try to find an app lol
I am on the dislike MIUI bandwagon too. I'm not going to bash it as I agree it has some sick features. The killer for me was the app drawer and 4g. I think if I gave it more than a day I could customize it to my liking but I just like Sense and all the Sense features.
I thought about maybe a custom launcher but then I thought "why change from a Sense rom that is native to my HTC phone that guarantees GPS ect to work by default and install one that isn't just to put a launcher over it and defeat the purpose"
I got bored with Sense launcher and Rosie so I currently have ADW ex installed and still have flawless gps, the dialer I like, everything synced how I like, email app I like apps where I want ect... right from the start.
I could do that with MIUI or CM but then I have to install DialerOne, GoSMS and a few other things to get what I like. I can't stand any of the AOSP dialer and sms layouts.
If I didn't live in such a 4g rich area I would probably give MIUI the turn it deserves but that is a killer before I start. It's also what's really irking me about the new Sense 3.5 Roms. Runny~Bliss(i think) hybrid looks gorgeous to me..... but I'll wait it out.
Miui isn't a bad rom at all. At first I refuse to use it because it did remind me of my old iPhone. But ended up trying it and loving it.
I get better battery life with miui compared to sense. Plus there is alot of built in apps and features to miui that is bad ass. And who can forget all the sweet customizing you can do to it. For example just did this setup below a few minutes ago...
One somewhat downside for me is the no 4G but then again that only effects me when I go visit my parents up state. That's when I backup Miui and switch to a sense Rom problem solved haha.

MIUI is AMAZING. I love it. And the theming? NO ROM beats it! Its fantastic the way you can make your phone look. The only reason why I won run it, is because of the laggyness of the keyboard.
Here is my current setup of MIUI, and it damn sure doesn't look like iOS to me...
BTW, my GPS snaps perfectly, syncing all 8 SATS in about a millisecond. I really don't get why people make comments without knowing how to do something.
Maybe it does look a bit like iOS. But I don't care, it's still the smoothest and best ROM I've flashed on my Evo. (and particularly this week's build is quite stable so far).

Not sure if that was directed to my gps comment but either way...... It's a know fact that aosp based roms are more subject to gps issue and have had numerous "fixes" posted to resolve.
It's not a matter of what I KNOW how to do it what i WANT to deal with. I never said aosp or miui were bad by any means. Just not my cup.
Posted a long time ago in the future.
I used to think the same. Now, I have customized Miui to my liking by creating my own app drawer and installing a new theme via the built in theme manager. It is very fast, very advanced, highly customizable and finally pulled me away from Sense (though I do have two Sense Roms in my Boot Manager slots).
