top roms? - EVO 4G General

so what are the top roms around here for the evo? i just rooted my evo and looking for some sick roms. i have the Kings UNleashed Ultra R2 installed now and its pretty good but im sure better ones are out there!

All you will ever need to try in the future is MIUI or Cyanogenmod. Every sense based ROM is the same.

Nice troll....
Seriously, MIUI and Cyanogen are both good roms, but very different graphically.
As for a AOSP rom I prefer Ultimate Droid. http://www.udrom.com/forum/
All Sense roms are NOT created equal...
IMO Myn's Warm2.2 rom is the best, most stable, fastest Sense rom for the EVO
Myn's WarmZ is also a nice rom. Caulkin's EViO rom series is also very, very good.
But those are just my opinions...I've tried a lot, but certainly not all the available roms out there. YMMV.
You'll also want a nice kernel as well. IMO, the SBC series of kernels are brilliant.
Savaged-Zen is a great group doing a lot with kernels that improve performance and battery life.
Good luck, have fun

Don't listen to him at the top...try all the roms on the first few pages and pick what you like top sense are mik, ava, and warmz and a few others, asop would be miui and cynagonen, and to add, every Rom is the same just themes different with or without sense, the actual differences are how the roms are made what the dev put into it and how he zip aligned the apks there are so many different things you can do, then factor in kernels lol, so no sir your wrong

In search of fast sense Rom

I'm lookin for a good, stable, overclockable, fast sense based Rom, any suggestions? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
RE:OP
The word stable is a complicated word, Is the original stock rom on eve stable, No, Myns two point two may be your best shot.
Overclocking has to be bought(no rom will carry that) from the market,
Try:SetCPU (very reliable, updated alot
AOSP roms are the fastest due to it strictly google(no sense), because sense slows it down.
I am happy with htclovers..

Don't be so lazy. Just read feedback on ROMs.
But I use Myn's warm
For sense roms, there are many that you can choose from.
The top three most popular in no order would be: MikFroyo, Myn, and Calkulin's sense based roms.
They vary to some degree depending on what you like.
Myn's tends to be highly themed, while Mik is more optimized. Calk would have to be in between I guess.
Just my opinion.
You will have to check them all out (not just the ones I've listed) to see which is best for you. We can only give you recommendations since we are not who you are.
It may work for some and not you.
Trial and error.
Note: ALWAYS NANDOID

I liked mikfroyo with netarchy SBC havs aggressive kernel. But I needed my wii remote so I've become sensless

Fastest would be Mikfroyo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've tried mikfroyo and koni's elite. I'm more partial to koni's because of the theming. It boils down to personal preference of course but the cool thing about already being rooted is that flashing roms is so easy now that you can just about try them all to find out which one best suits you. I'm beta testing koni's elite series II that i just flashed this morning and so far everything is both fast and smooth.
Warm RLS5 is an "older" ROM (if January is old), so you'll have to perform some tweaks yourself (like SD card speed). Almost every aspect of Sense has been "warmed".
MikFroYo 4.5 is quicker (IMHO). Has the latest speed tweaks cooked in (heap size, SD, etc). Similar to Warm, Sense is heavily themed. For whatever reason, this ROM isn't the most stable on my phone.
Azrael X 4.0 is also quick, but very stable as well. Sense is lightly themed compared to the ROMs above. I keep coming back to this ROM due to its stability with my setup.
If you go with any of the 3 above, you'll need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking. I run netarchy, but it'll be trial and error to find the one that works for you. Check out the development section and read about the different ROMs and Kernels. Good luck.
Babiboi manila carbon fiber or mikfroyo...you can't go wrong with either one.both are fast,stable and smooth as butter.
Myn's Warm Two Point Two is amazing and beautiful. Just apply the SD Card Tweak to make it read faster from SD card and watch it fly. If you prefer a fast but relatively stock Sense ROM, minus the bloat, I recommend Sprint Lover's.
I bounce back and forth between these roms..
Mik,Cal,Azrael and CM..
Currently im using Zone's Mik 4.5 Pure version and im loving it.
There is NO best rom, only the one that suits your needs and visual liking. Most of the popular ones are stable for everyday use. (at least for my usage)
I also use ADW EX as my launcher and things seem to be much more snappier.

But you can't go wrong with myns rls5.......used it since it came out.....but koni's is a bit faster and themed to my liking......tough choice but you can't go wrong with koni's elite or myns rls5...try them both...that is what this hobby is all about...lol
Swyped from my KONI ELITE EVO 4G SUPERSONIC!
I've tried a few, but I like MikFroyo 4.5's speed, but I'm not crazy about the look. I am really liking EvoKings Ultimate FroYo right now...it's built off MikFroyo so it's plenty quick, but the theming is better. I want to try Koni's probably at some point, but it looks awfully similar to EvoKings. I haven't had any issues with any of them.
aamikam- mikfroyo (V4.5) ROMS has taking optimizing sense based ROMS to another level read up on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11190976&posted=1#post11190976
many other mod/themers base their roms off MIKS stock ROM. ...koni, kings, avafroyo, babiboy, dark cocoa to name a few. find the right kernel/rom combo they are all over-clockable.
MIK's rom has a lot of mods you can add if you like that with aps2sd a net kernel. i dont even over-clock and that thing flies also stellar battery life. all depends on what you are looking to use or have in a rom.
I like Sprint lovers...it is my go back to rom....
I'm surprised no one mentioned King's Ultra. It's been just about perfect, and the theming is beautiful, akin to Koni's. I loved Koni's Elite 1, but I had terrrible battery life with it, using several different kernels.
Actually, my battery life pretty much sucks with every set up.
As soon as there's a HTC People mod for CM7, if there ever is, I'm probably gonna go that route.
i disagree that sense slows down the phone. that may be true of benchmarks, but not my real world use. the only non sense rom that i liked was MIUI. I use Warm 2.2, mikfroyo blows in my opinion.

Used Myns a couple of months ago. Liked it but didn't like some of the fonts. Went to Azrael. Was dececent.
Tried Elite I and now Elite II beta....SOLD! Best rom ever. Very fast. The first rom that I could run LP Plus and not end up with a laggy mess.
Great rom!

Any rom reccomendatons

I was wondering if anyone had a rom recommendation. I have used Stock Turbo in the past and it worked well but I had problems with my uptime=my awake time. I had to get a new EVO (Dropped my old one) wondering if some people could give me suggestions on what roms they like and why.
I would like to have Wiimax, Google apps, and wireless tethering.
AOSP all the way.
CM7.
Destroyer for themed awesomeness.
CM7 for customizability
Salvage-Mod or Savaged-Zen for simplicity
MikFroyo for a fast sense ROM
Myns or Kings Unleashed for themed sense awesomeness
EViO 2 for Battery
Warm Z, Mik Z or Unleashed Z for Sense 2.0
Miui or VaelPaek for something different
That's my experiences and recommendations based on what I've tried.
For what it's worth, I usually stay on Destroyer (Variant of CM7).
+1 for Jstalford. He is right on from personal experiance also. I'm currently running Dark Cocoa III and love it. Its sense but quick, everything works, and its very stable.
CM7 or deck's gingerbread imo
Just depends on what you are looking for...
For Gingerbread, I personally use Deck's ROM with Cayniarb's Tiamat kernel. Probably the most solid combination I've used.
I also like CM7 which I will test out from time to time.
For Froyo... Most are good. I don't play around with sense much because I think GB is much better.
Yeah, if you haven't tried GB yet you definitely should, there's a couple small issues that are fixable with a little bit of work.
For sense roms, I'm really liking Virus Airbourne right now, really nicely themed. Netarchy kernels have been giving me great battery life as well.

Myns 2.2 warm or koni's elite for sense or cm7 #36 for aosp.
what does everyone think about Fresh?
Nothing wrong with it. Good Stockish ROM.
New favorite
I have quickly fallen in love with Eternal Prophesy v.4.9. Fast with terrific battery life. Best combination of performance of the half-dozen or so ROMs I've tried so far.
Running omj Rom and sense kernels #15. Gives fantastic battery life.

Aosp battle!

Now, I know that cyanogenmod is probably the most popular of all the aosp roms however, that's irrelevant because this is about the evo, not other phones. So, in your own words, which rom is the best aosp rom for the evo? Excluding miui, because that's a different sort of aosp.
Thanks.

I tried SalvageMod, didn't care for it since I got FC's and there doesn't seem to be much updates.
I have gone between CM7 and Decks a lot. So much lately that I am driving myself nuts. I want to stick with one.
I like Decks because it is a slimmer version and runs better. It also doesn't have as much misc. stuff/apps with it.
I like CM7 because of the nightlies, which also gives me headaches because I am always flashing, then if something sucks I go back to a previous version, sometimes having to wipe, etc.
I am most likely going to end up sticking with Decks since it runs better for me, and so I don't get the urge to try out a new nightly. LOL
I am not aware of any other AOSP ROM.
Lets face it, if it werent for CM7 we wouldnt have most of the AOSP roms for this phone that we do. DECKS is the best IMO. Its CM7 but tailored specifically for the EVO. Its VERY NOTICEABLY faster. More clean. Cant go wrong with it.
My phone has never run better than with SalvageMod! Even Decks which held that place previously. There are some features that I miss but haven't looked back for a second.
Lithid is an incredible Dev, and has produced a unique build of AOSP that will stand out from the rest. He also supports it directly, meaning you will hear from HIM if you ask a question.
I have tried cm7, decks, savaged zen and OMGB. None have quite the edge of SalvageMod. However, OMGB would be my second choice but I like something a bit more custom.

I tried cm7 a while back and it was just OK for me( no disrespect, just my opinion). After playing around with a whole lot of sense roms I'm now looking for something a little different for a while...so I'm also interested in the slickest aosp rom.

CM7 and MIUI are by far the most popular AOSP Roms on ALL Android devices. Miui is very popular battery and theme wise. Cm7 takes it with stability. They are both the best in my book.

I often flash other aosp roms - and even the occasional sense rom... But I always return to Deck within hours.

I see what you did there.
I tried Salvage Mod briefly, but there were some little details that bugged me; the notification pulldown located at the bottom of the screen, lack of Theme Chooser, and a couple other minor settings not available.
It's the small details that makes or breaks a rom for me. Deck passes all the tests, and runs much better on my particular phone than the full CM 7.1
Homage and gratitude are definitely due to cyanogen.. Without his team, we wouldn't have many of the improvements available to us.

I agree, cm7 is a very fast rom. GPS is weird at times. But can't argue with speed. I still use salvagemod tho simply for the simple things that are different.

Its a toss up, using Decks rom atm but with any AOSP rom I get bad wifi reception unless I am right next to my modem. That's the only thing I can say for Sense roms is that the wifi connection is better, at least in my case.
I'll admit, I was a huge CM Fanboy and deservedly so it's probably one of the most developed and feature laden ROMs available. MIUI never appealed to me. But, there was always something wonky happening then once most of the bugs were ironed out and I actually used it often enough I got tired of ADW.
I started flashing frank707's .zip that removed some of the extra apps and especially ADW and replaced it with launcher2. Then Deck came along and did it for me with an even more optimized ROM. Somewhere along the way I flirted with SalvageMod 1.2.1 but had some stability issues that were caused by the SavagedZen kernel that I stupidly blamed the ROM for. Flash forward to last week, I finally tried out SalvageMod 1.4 and gave it an honest chance and I think it's probably one of the most well developed and stable/fast ROMs that I've tried so far. It's different from CM based ROMs if that's what you're used to but it's simplicity is actually refreshing. There's some features that I'd like to have added but it's nothing that makes the ROM unusable.
I say give SM 1.4 a real chance, I don't think that it (or the devs for that matter) get the recognition deserved.

[Q] So what ROM is the best in your opinion for the Shift?

Sorry if this question has been asked a million times haha. But I'm just curious about the perks or other ROMs, most especially for battery life since I'm out and about most the time. I have tried CM7 and Miui when they were still new to the shift but just settled down with Mikshift because I love the simple sense roms haha. But ever since I rooted my friends HTC Glacier a couple days ago my mind just became a curious george lol. I know I can just read the threads but I want to know why the person uses that rom....thanks in advance!
Kushdeck with tiamat kernel seems really good so far. No issues and battery life is great. Also the phone is smooth.

Well when i was on the HTC Evo 3 weeks ago i was HIGHLY FOND OF MikG. I Use this rom due to the looks of it are clean and crisp. i also found it to be the fastest sense rom with great battery life. I also enjoy the lock screen on it very very much.
but i hear nothin but good things about CM7 which u wont hear anything good from me due to i personally like the Sense UI.
I also enjoyed playing on a MIUI rom due to the high customization you can do with it.

Mik if you want sense.

No doubt if u want raw performance without care for ui. Use cyanogen. I had cyanogen for a bit, and could notice the speed.
But I lovee sense, so I'm usin mik g supreme currently I think it runs just as well as regular mikg but u get 3d widgets/rosie...
If we ever get the src for the kernel from htc mikroms would improve performance greatly. Id say I'm more than satisfied with the stock kernel with sense 3.0

Haha thanks for the input guys. I agree with you all...Sense UI is already perfect in my eyes. Whenever the source kernal comes out....everybody will be jizzin' haha.
Depends on what your going to use it for, business, personal, or both. How heavy a phoneaholic you are ( I'm REALLY BAD ) . But one thing is definate, we have plenty of choices .
Good point, considering I manage a couple email accounts I've grown accustomed to the reliability of sense notifications and how emails are handled.

Honestly for me it's a toss up between CyanogenMod and MikShifted-G. Cm has the raw performance while MS-G has the stability & reliability. Currently I'm using MS-G. It was a little quirky at first, but when I got the V6Supercharger and 98KickAssKernelTweaks scripts installed the UI became just as snappy if not more then cm. Just wish HTC would release the damn kernel source already.

I currently use Supreme Sense and love it. Although Mikshifted-G is also a really good ROM also if you don't want that 3.0 rosie and want to save a little speed, but mikshifted g has a couple little bugs. Synergy is good has a few nice features too. Idk ima sense kindof guy. BTW: Anyone know how to put smilies in on XDA Premium? Just started using it in celebration to full root

True, but not always a good thing. I downgraded and rooted my shift yesterday, and I'm running into the same problem that I had when I first switched to linux on my desktop back in 2000. There are so many choices that I can be tough to narrow it down to what you really want.
Overall, I thought Sense was a bit overdone, so I've been enjoying CM7-nightly for the moment, but there are a small handfull of features I REALLY miss from Sense like T9 in the dialer, and the FriendStream widget & app.
This is really a subjective question. You will get different responses from different people.
Personally I have tried all roms available for the Shift and I always seem to go back to MIUI. In terms of customization, MIUI has virtually limitless UI options. It allows you to really make your phone unique. At first I really did not like the fact that it resembles crApple UI. But after I gave it a try I was hooked. I've haven't been on any other rom for more than a week after trying MIUI. With the Tiamat kernel my battery has lasted more than 2days with medium use.
I also liked Mik G. Its a very good rom. But I just got tired of sense lol. I do think that Sense is the best Manufacturer pushed UI though.
Like someone before me said if you want raw performance CM7 is great. The UI is just not as "pretty" as some others.
I had good performance with ShiftDeck as well. Basically similar to CM7 with a few tweaks and changes.
I suggest trying all the different roms and see which one you enjoy, thats what really matters.
Happy Flashing!
The two roms I use are CM7 nightlies and another rom I'm not sure if I can post about it here as it isn't public atm, also if you like sense and you like customization I recommend checking out synergy... That thing has more mods that idk what

It's hard to stick with one ROM. From a Sense ROM (mik-g, SSv3, Synergy) and then to an AOSP ROM (CMnightlies, kushdeck, evervolv) and then back to Sense. Haven't tried a MIUI ROM yet, maybe one day.

[Q] What's your daily driver?

Relatively new to the G2, and I'm looking for a daily driver without having to experiment with 10 roms that all have one deal-breaking bug.
I like sense, which is good because it looks like pretty much all of the recent roms are sense or miui. I really wanted to have a sense 3.0/3.5 with 3d widgets, but it doesn't look like there are any stable, fast roms in this department.
So what's your go-to rom? I probably will start experimenting with all the newer roms anyway, but I want to get set up with a stable fallback first.
Thanks
As far as an AOSP ROM goes, I believe that meXdroidMod is hands down the fastest thing I've ever installed and it also has great developer support too. Here recently I've been all about MIUI so right now I'm running tun4fish's Bulletproof Miui. I'm in love with the speed and stability of this rom and the amount of customization you can do with it.
All in all it all boils down to personal preference. I like flashy, customizable roms so those two fit me. Play around and see what's right for you

I switch between CM7 and Beatmod Blissense. I prefer a more pure android, but I do like the UI and widgets in Beatmod.
Been running Bulletproof MIUI the last couple weeks. Solid daily driver with all the features I need and no issues.
When I get bored, I switch back/forth between CM7 and MIUI.
Been a meXdroidMod convert for awhile now. Really really fast and everythings smooth! Developer support is awesome too!
I started out with trying Virtuous Unity and Virtuous Doubleshot but found the Sense 3.0 ROMs were to slow for my DZ.
Settled for Virtuous Sense for the time being which is perfect for me. Also tried out Bulletproof MIUI just to try something completely different but that was definitely not for me so I returned to Virtuous Sense.

Virtuos Sense 2.0.0 for me. Stable, fast, no unexpected suprises.
I find any of the sense roms are too slow. On bulletproof miui currently and it blazes. CM7 is also quick and a joy to use.

I gotta go with cm7 nightlies here. Cm blazes on this phone at 1.5ghz. Check out the gps thread in development if you have issues with gps and your radio.

I've been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC-1 for 1027:53:15 hours. That's over a month without having to restart. Plus I have it overclocked to 1.5 Ghz with Pershoot's kernal. I've never had this kind of stability before. But unfortunately I will have to reboot to install the the final build of Cyanogenmod 7.1.
Been running stock rooted GB and recently tried g-lite but it was crashing my phone. Went back to Stock rooted, runs great and reliable
My daily driver is a honda crx haha =)

MIUI would be my daily driver. Speedy while still looking absolutely beautiful. Either of the builds by CarpeNoctem or Tuna4fish would serve you well
lots of love for MIUI here
as much as I like it too the OP said he likes Sense, so for me after trying absolutely every ROM with Sense, i like the InsertCoin. It has the battery and speed of your 2.1 Sense ROM but all the cool features of Sense 3.
I'd like to stress on the battery life - it's absolutely fantastic on InsertCoin.

As far as MIUI goes, I prefer Tun4fish's build (Bulletproof MIUI). Its updated weekly with the MIUI.US release, and has a great kernel and memory management tweaks. Super reliable.

It doesn't have any memory problems, common for Sense 3 ROMs?

I agree with this statement 100%. Absolutely the best and my favorite ROM out right now.
I'm currently on CM7 nightlies. CM7 is by far the fastest ROM I've used, and it just gets faster when you overclock it. If I get bored, I'll use tun4fish's Bulletproof MIUI for a change of pace.
My daily driver is IC 2.1+3.0 and its awesome on the Desire Z.
