I posted yesterday about my girlfriend's EVO freezing up on her after i rooted and her pictures randomly disappearing. I want to install a new ROM on her phone to see if the issues will go away but I need help on choosing the best FroYo ROM that is fully functional. Particularly one that is clean of bloat and is pretty fast. I've searched around but haven't found anything that is as basic as what I'm looking for. I only see her on weekends so if something goes wrong I wont be there to fix it for her so that is the reason I need the best functioning ROM with the least issues.
P.S. I own a Fascinate so please bare with me I'm not familiar with EVO ROMs, Kernels etc...
If you want clean and simple. Frost Rom.
If you want more to a ROM you willl have to look through each thread as there are a ton of great roms...Mik, Warm, Calk, Azrael, Fresh...etc
best is just an opinion
my sense rom choice is Miks rom's
or CM6 CM7 is having gps troubles

CM7 gps issue is easily solved by doing dialing ##gpsclrx# in a sense rom to reset the gps.
My answer to the op, my opinion cleanest Rom that's fully functional is Cm7 nightly 6 or higher, of course they're 2.3.2 and nightly 11 is 2.3.3 not 2.2.1 like was asked.

yes but thats not 100%
I would try MikFroy 4.2 if you like it plain. Also EViO 2, Ava, Azrael, Stock Turbo, Fresh and Sprint Lovers.

Thanks for the replies guys. If I'm correct, I thought I saw that 4g is not functioning on CM7.

Wimax doesn't work on RC1, but became functional starting on like Nightly 6, I think.

If you download any nightly from build 6 and up, Wimax is implemented and working, I am currently running Nightly #11, Wimax works, GPS works(I had to use ##gpsclrx#), worked for me, but as they said doesn't work for everyone.
So basically If you want to load CM7 on her phone
1. Download the latest nightly http://mirror.kanged.net/nightly/supersonic/cm_supersonic_full-11.zip
2. Download gingerbread gapps http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
3. download mslreader from the market, and write the number down.
4. open the dialer and type ##44772579# (this may or may not make your gps work on gingerbread, but it doesn't hurt to do it anyway)
5. Input the msl number that you wrote down
6. the phone will reboot, let it come all the way back up
7. Reboot to recovery
8. (Do this step twice to be safe) Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik-Cache(located under advanced for clockworkmod)
9. Flash CM7
10. Flash Gapps before booting into CM7 (found this has had the most success for me)
11. Enjoy Gingerbread with MOAR GEEEEEE's
How should I go abount intalling intellikernel on cm7rc3 . I am a noob and do not really understand the importance of having a seperate kernel (incredikernel is supposed to be superior than the default CM7) .. would I have to do some tweaks after I flash this?
Do I need to wipe anything before I flahs this or any new kernel? is it stable?

That is for the Droid Incredible.
That is why it will not work on our phone.
You can only flash 3rd party kernels related to your phone, and your skin design. meaning you cannot flash an AOSP kernel for Sense ROM, nor a DInc kernel to a OG Droid.
But I am running CM7 RC3 ... which is AOSP.... I am a little confused.

But the Kernel you are looking at is for the Droid Incredible, not for the HTC Glacier. They are two different phones, with two different hardware packages. You must use AOSP kernels for the HTC Glacier.
Could you suggest one that you really like? and do I have to wipe anything before I flash any kernel?

Personally i suggest running the stock kernel that came with your ROM. And i will only use the kernel that comes with the ROM. The developers have built the ROM to run around that kernel. So it should work the best. I know Faux123 has built some top notch kernels....but i cannot speak first hand.

I use fauxs oc/uv just cause he's awesome and you can oc it to 1.8 ghz but you have to be careful when overclocking I'd suggest setting up the governers and profiles in setcpu after flashing the kernel. But no you don't need to wipe anything just boot into recovery and install

Hey y'all, I have CM7 on my Evo and tried to flash incredikernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848453 using clockwordmod rom manager. Everything seemed to go fine but now it will not get past the white htc evo 4g boot screen. How shall I proceed? I was going to just reflash CM7 but wanted to see what the 'correct' thing to do is, help please!
SOLVED, I definitely learned something new today. Kernels are phone specific haha!
Ok, another on of my idiotic questions. Lmao. Which kernel for CM7 latest stable, offers the best functionality. Best wimax and 3G speeds and GPS settings. I want to oc up to 1.2 ghz kinda how stock cm7 does it. What kernels fit that criteria and r the best in ur opinions?

I used x99 with CM 7.0.3.1 and WiFi wasn't working so I went back to 7.0.2.1 but I want to upgrade back up. Which kernel works best with the 7.0.3.1 build?
If you're on the latest nightlies, stick with stock for now, a it's 2.6.35 kernel that toast compiled himself, and the other kernels are 2.6.32.

Good to hear. Just flashed back up to 7.0.3.1, restoring my apps, and WiFi works now. I might use this stock kernel for a bit but may use x99's again. DL'd the one he posted for CM 7.0.3.1
Also, after I flash the ROM, I reboot, flash the kernel, reboot and then flash Gapps or do I flash gapps, reboot then flash the kernel? I get confused
It goes ROM -> GApps -> Kernel -> Theme
I have had the most success with the x99 kernels.
Great news!
CM 7.0.3.1 and x99 work flawlessly, better than before actually, and LPP works better now too (i.e., hitting home now actually drops down the notification bar rather than just flashing the date for a split second)
If I use the Google apps from the market using the installer in cm7 do I still need to flash the GApps? Just curious?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Gapps have to be flashed to get the market at the very least. Updating the nightlies though, it automatically backs up the gapps, so no need to reflash

i still prefer kwiboo's v2 + franco kernel.
i would love the SEUV kernel if USB and Data Limits was working. It was the only missing function.
PS: franco's wifi tethering is broken with the above combination.
After many convinacions I prefer Kwilboo v2 + franco
Cm9 isn't out yet nice joke.

I think the OP is talking about Alpha 11. Anyways, I am sporting Alpha 11 with Franco's kernel and works very well. I haven't seen any lag at all. Make sure you force hw in the developers option.

I hope that the current batch of ICS ROMS do not represent how the real ICS performs, or even comes close for that matter.

Its alpha cm9, but without the cmparts (cm settings) we're used to in CM.. as of now. Soon to change, I'm sure.
. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
I've tried Koush's ROM (now known as CM9 however refuse to call it that since there is nothing CM about it), and Kwiboo's ROM v2 and have to say that Kwiboo's ROM is the most stable and contained most of the features working before any other ICS ROM out there.
Pair Kwiboo's ROM v2 along with franco.kernel and you should have no problems. (I've tried the stock kernal along with the GlaDOS kernal as well.) Also running the franco.kernel with Kwiboo's v2 ROM fixes USB mounting and data usage!

Isn't that was makes CyangenMod, a CyanogenMod? Otherwise it's the same as any other ICS AOSP ROM out there.

just to clarify here a little bit - data usage and data usage limits are 2 separate functions.
data limits works with franco, but data usage has been working stock on v2.
i'm going to flash v3 soon and test out the differences.
IMNO kwiboo has a clear separation between kernel/drivers and AOSP which is probably why signal indicator isn't fixed yet. T__T

I've used the following combinations:
Kwiboo v2 + franco kernel
Brainmaster mix v5
CM9 Alpha 11 (Koush's ROM)
I've found CM9 to be the most stable and quite fast. Franco kernel would probably make it a bit faster but seems a bit unnecessary.
So far everything looks like it works in CM9 Alpha 11, whereas certain things don't work in the others (such as the camcorder in Kwiboo, and BM messes some apps up because of the ad-free hosts).
I have recently came into the Vibrant community, coming from the MyTouch 4G community, and all I can say is that this phone is so much better, except the 4G portion.
For the past 3 days, I have been flashing over and over, different ROMs, kernels, etc. I just wanted to post the best setup that I believe is the fastest and most stable for this phone:
ROM - CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
KERNEL - 2.6.35.14 EB-Streamline

Not only does it give the best GPS and battery life, its also the newest firmware, which I love the new UI.
I get around a day of battery life on light - medium-wise moderate usage, and GPS works all day long for me, there are infact some issues, it is BETA Like Mute/unmute issue, which I think is the ONLY major issue left.

Is this an actual ICS 4.0.3 ROM, or is it just a modified Gingerbread ROM to look like it? Because I've looked at many other threads for ICS development, and there are very few that operate at a level this one claims. I understand that in the settings it says 4.0.3, but that's easy to spoof. Has anyone actually verified this as an actual 4.0.3 ROM? If so, amazing, I will flash it soon. Thanks
