Hey guys and gals,
So I just rooted my EVO last week with the Beta unrevoked with success. I flash my first ROM that day(Drew's GB 15a ROM). I really like it but it really isn't something that I could use everyday yet, of course.
That being said, can anyone recommend a ROM that is just as easy to flash without haveing to flash anything else over it and with everything working? I hope I am making sence. Maybe a Froyo ROM without sence or even with sence. Anything custom that people really like. I am just getting into flashing ROM's so, I am trying to keep it simple at first.... The EVO is my first android phone. My hardware build is 0003 if that helps. I got it on release day.
Thanks Everyone!
Can't go wrong with cyanogen.

CM6 ftw...
Thanks for the replies guys! Do you have any links for the ones you like? When I do a search here I get tons of threads!
cyanogen's current stable doesn't have 4g FYI. i just got my evo today & flashed the fresh rom (used to use his hero roms). i dig it.
If you like sense Fresh is the way to go, calkulins ROM always been my favorite. Just head over to the development thread you see them, download, nandroid backup, wipe, flash.
I've had my evo for about a month and I flash a new rom every week a to try them all out I'm currently on my fourth rom and I think a nice noob rom would be the Sprint Lovers rom its not too different from stock

Make that +2 for MikFroYo! From another noob. Easy flash, no other installs were needed.
+3 mikfroyo for 4g and tether. I prefer cm6, but I was experiencing 3g dropouts.

No doubt, myn's warm twopointtwo has been the best ROM that I've flashed. It incorporates sense. Definitely worth checking out,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471
By the way, all the devs do great work. Thanks for all your input.
CyanogenMod....easilly the best rom out there. I get superb battery life out of it. It's very responsive.....just plain the best.
P.S. If you like sense try Fresh or Warm they are both great.
Can't go wrong with cyanogenmod. Yet again when you want gingerbread go with evervolv and sense go with myns or virus

I just recently started learning how to root and flash. I flashed my mytouch 4g with cm7 stable I started wondering what is the difference between cm7 and royalginger rom?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
RoyalGinger is much faster and has alot of the unnecessary stuff cut out of it. It is based off of CM7, so if you like CM7, you should give it a try.
I think I will give it a try then if its based off of this rom, and this one is tons better over stock. Just hate going through everything and customizing to my liking.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yea, but with RoyalGinger, it is definitely worth it.
Is there a fully working rom on this forum? I see tons of roms but I see that many have issues like mms not working..
I'm looking for a rom where all the features work just as the stock 2.2.1 rom...
Suggestions? Thanks!
I think they are waiting for you to build one. It ain't that easy bra'

Ok thanks
I was not crackin on developers, I just didnt know which ones worked fully
what's broken about CM7?
Team royals 1.6 rom doesn't have mms problems..Well at least not for me anyways but i haven't found any problems with it so far since it first came out...I think its the most stable rom in here...

I have tried Evil and Gorilla's Desire HD Rom's, Ice Glacier, CM 7, Royal Thunderbolt...have never ran into any issues on either of those. Each phone is unique and will not give you the same results. My advice is to decide what you like stock or sense and then try the different roms out and go from there.

Once your "rooted" and your no longer running stock there is no such thing of "100% FULLY working"..
But try CM7 nightlies there awesome.
You can give my AOSP 1.0.1 a shot... It is functional... I don't believe it has any visible bugs...
My vote is on Orange sense, such a great Rom haven't found much, if anything at all, wrong with it

I have no problems with Royal Ginger 1.6. Its awesome, I run this one all the time.

Not to be a party pooper, but shouldn't this be in Q&A?
Yes it should be in Q&A.
But, with any AOSP Rom you are going to have data slowdown. After a while of the phone being in standby the data will drop to about 1mb downloads. WiFi will cap at about the same.
Once you toggle airplane mode it wakes something up and you will have your usual speed back.
No one has been able to solve this yet, and is the only drawback to aosp.

I been runnin royalginger v1.4.1 for the longest & never had an issue,internet speeds never slowed dwn & wifi was just plain fast,as for 2.2 royalglacier has been the most stable,Team Royal's rom are smooth,fast & stable but again once rooted no rom is 100%,**** no phone is 100%.....
Roylalthunder is a great and fast Rom too and your speeds increase as well

Royal glacier is the most stable build I've ever had on a phone. It's so good that I have a brand new g2x that isn't being used at the moment.

Over all i want to know comparison please if y'all can help! If you had to choose which one would be better CM7 or RoyalGinger 1.6. I am on CM7 just trying to see if its worth getting RG1.6 help me out here!! Thanks in advance!!!!!
CM7 Nightlies
Thanks I'm really liking it but I heard the RG looks great and saves battery life
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I switched from cm7 to royal Ginger 1.6. Very fast and responsive. Moving from screen to screen is quick. Apps load up fast. Actually i am having trouble using up my battery everyday before charging it at night. Sometimes it will last two days without needing to be charged. Coupled with faux's latest kernel Cfs lv I have not run into any problems so far. Signals are good and strong.

I moved from CM7 to RG1.6 and can say it runs a bit faster and good on battery.

I have to give that a try sometime. faux keeps releasing a new version every day...i am tempted. I have always been fan of pure google experience (and then customize on my own)
use the new CM7 (7.0.2) its very stable.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
If you want pure aosp that is fast as hell without the extra crap... get faux's rom. Its amazing.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Don't really like questions like this but every rom is different. It is all personal preference. Your phone is different as well it may not like certain roms. You should do try out different roms to see what your phone likes best.

Running faux's AOSP rom! Fabulous!

which one is better...
I think what is being asked here is not which one is better, because that answer would be based on opinion; the info sought here is what are the ups and downs of each ROM so he will know which one would be best for him.

The only way to know based on your own preference is to try them all. It only takes a few minutes to change roms. I suggest you try them all for a few days each ans go from there.
My personal preference is pure Google. I hate extra stuff. Some people need a little flavor so CM is great. Just try them all and make your own choice

I would say that is the best thing to do try them all... I'll be honest with ya out of the GB experience i like what Royal Ginger has done lately and the new Cm7 is really really stable good experience.. But i always and i mean always go back to Royal Glacier (mysense) i know i know.. but it's fast as hell in my eyes.... and i have ALL of my phones functions... anyways, to each his own..
Cm7 is og and royalginger is bg meanning baby gangstar

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

Well deck is just renamed cm7.

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.
Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.
I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.
Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

Try again.
I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.
From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.
I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol
+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.
What ever helps you sleep at night........
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0
I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.
I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.
