Miui or cm7 - EVO 4G General

So I'm in a debate right now, currently running miui 1.5.6 and I love it. Alot of things about it are nice simple and flawless , ui is simple to manage and has great little effects. But cm7 gb was my first rom I used and GPS worked fine unlike my miui atm, little things about miui are starting to tick me off even though its not 100% ready. ( pretty sure I read that some where on here). Anyways any thoughts on which one I should use as a daily? Cm7 easy to theme? I'm still new but open to learning. Thanks again.

Why would you ask others their opinion on which rom you should run? People that rum miui will tell you to choose, and the same for cm
Just try out all the roms, and see which one you like.
And you can go to evo 4g themes subforum for plenty of cm themes

If you like AOSP I'd say roll with cm7 as your daily driver, but keep in mind miui is plagued with most of the same bugs in CM7. There's a ton of theme starter guides out there it should be easy!

I wonder how many threads have this exact title?

Haha noobs right? Yes I'm ragging on myself but its whatever. And just looking for opinions on pros and cons of both from the "pros" out there. I normally don't have to post of this forum just because everything ( my questions/problems) have been answered already. But asking. And okay ill check it out thanks alot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MIUI has 4G. So if that's not important to you, yeah, I'd think about it. If you get 4G almost everywhere you go like I do, go with CM7.

As of now, MIUI doesn't have working 4G. And my vote is CM7...clean, smooth, everything works...

Unfortunately, Tulsa doesn't have 4g, well they do but its only on a busy street called memorial, and it runs for like 3 miles or so. Other than that no, so sticking with MIUI would not be the worst idea. Just need to learn how to theme CM7. The "classic" look isn't for me. Prefer MIUI ui.

What up?
I can get a signal at 81 and Sheridan, and as far east towards BA that I can get the signal is 81 and Mingo.
But I would pick CM7.

really, dang really havent checked lately. Last time i did it was running on memorial from 81st to 61st ish. But Damn im living at 81st and garnett. So close.. boo. haha

So... you are telling us that you have MIUI on your phone right now and have been using it, and that you had CM7 as your daily driver already for an extended period of time? But even after using both as your daily driver you somehow still are unable to figure out which one you like and you want us to tell you which to use? Wow.
You are using MIUI now but you are clearly not happy because you long for CM7.
Switch to CM7.
There are you happy now? You have our permission to do what you clearly wanted to do in the first place.
BTW both MIUI and CM7 are buggy. Welcome to ASOP roms. If you can live without the minor bells and whistles of ASOP a Sense-based ROM is almost always more stable and better with your hardware(for example your videos look like crap on all ASOP roms cuz no one has figured out how to get the 720p recording to work).

Ask 10 different people, get 12 different responses. As you've noticed.
Point it only something you can answer for yourself.
Had my sultrySupersonic for less than a week, first ROM i loaded was Destroyer 2 (modded CM7 build). No complaints, no bugs (not sure what these bugs people speak of are). Took a little while to get it themed to how i like, but it's fantastic. I average 2.2 %/hr battery life.
When i saw my buddy running MIUI on his Dinc, i had to try it. LOVED it. The 2.3 build was actually buggy for me, and the 2.2 build was pretty laggy compared to CM7. Ultimately what killed it for me was the batt life. Nothing can compare to my D2 build on my Evo.
Every phone reacts differently, rock them both, play with it, let the Haters Hate. Only you can decide.

HaHa. Interesting thread!
I'm going to say try them back and forth, make a pro and con list on a piece of paper, then stick with MIUI! lol

Ha I love the MIUIs UI, and how you can choose some themes people have created. But all in all cm7 is working the best, battery life is flawless. GPS is on key. Still going back and forth but seems CM7 is on key for me. Just still learning on the theming part.

While not as invasive as themes in MIUI, the themes in the T-Mobile theme engine for cm7 will allow you to really customize the look to your liking.
My vote is for CM7. In my opinion it is more feature rich and less buggy. Only disadvantage is its not quite as "pretty" as MIUI, otherwise everything else is better for my use.
Tapa tapa tapa

IF, and I do mean if, they get 2.3 MIUI perfected I will switch back to that. I liked how it felt and looked.
But, having been using CM7 for a few months (I was not a fan of CM6), I am really starting to dig CM7. I don't think any other rom I have tried feels like a ROM that would have come on a phone. What I mean by that is, there aren't many bugs and it looks legit. The customization is pretty awesome too. I just wish CM had things like visitor mode, or some sort of sneaky mode where people couldn't look through your stuff if they pick up your phone. I don't like having to enter a code on my phone to get into it, but I hate that anyone can see anything if they pick it up.

So, with the slow down in rom releases and updates due to stable builds that require nothing more. I thought I'd share the rom that I will be using for more then a day or too...I'm thinking long term here. I've found that I really enjoy ACS roms, Jaimie, King and settling on Koni III. I really like the stability, speed and options for customizing. I've found Koni III provides everything that other ACS roms have, except I really like the coloring and icons. They are smooth and everything functions normally. So i'm kind of freaking out, because now I have to use my phone like a normal person am I alone?

Try making, or tweeking Icons (I prefer tweeking) on Photo Shop, or Gimp. I find that it helps with the downtime. This really does suck tho!

I'm not sure what everyone means by 'slowdown in rom releases'. I can't keep up with the new releases! Just off the top of my head, in the past few days, we have seen new releases of : salvage mod. Savaged Zen. MIuI. Dark cocoa. Elite III. Virus airbourne. Destroyer sequel. Evervolv nightlies. Cm nightlies. King cocoa. Unleashed R3. Kings gingerbread rom. And there are more. So, inform me how that equates to a shortage?! Haha, I literally can't keep up with trying g them all out!!!

Agreed! Just in the past week we've had like 4 completely different aosp rom releases. All of which are phenomenal and have different things to offer... If your not into aosp, then yes, rom development has slown down a ton on sense, but thats ecpected when you have ideal developers who work there ass's off for perfection

There's even been recent sense releases, in the past couple days. There's konis elite III, dark cocoa, king cocoa, and Vaelpak 3.2 .
To answer your question, AOSP (android open source project) is straight android, no HTC sense, bloatware from sprint. Avg sense rom = 180-210mb. Avg AOSP rom = 60-80mb. AOSP doesn't have any of the HTC Widgets, and has different dialer, email, and contacts apps (among other differences throughout the rom) . I suggest trying it out if you're bored. You'll always just be a nandroid restore away from sense!

I love aosp, but i'm not ready for gingerbread and 6.1.2 just won't due! I agree flashing is annoying but addicitng, sad sad techie world I live in with my phone flashing and my MUD games....
I've got so many Nandroids backed up on my computer that to pass the time I just restore one every day or two. I'm running KES III right now and I'm happy with it...we'll see how long that lasts lol!
Just imagine the flurry of ridiculous this forum is gonna be when we get Gingerbread w/Sense this summer.
Myn, Mik, Koni, King, Vael and all our other sense devs are gonna be blowing the place up. I can't wait!!!
SInce I've had my Evo, I haven't gone more than 3 days withuut flashing something new. And I'e had them all, sense, Miui, The various CM Roms, but I've also settled on Koni III aqs my daily, until something new enough to catch my eye comes out.

I hope you're right. I fear we may lose some devs to the Evo3D, or some other devices that are soon to be released. If the devs stay, so will I. If they go to Evo3d, I will follow. I love messing around with my phone, and need a strong dev community to fill my unsatiable flashing needs.

That's why I ditched my T-Mobile phones (G1 and MyTouch Slide). I wanted something with a little more options. There wasn't anything better than CM over there although I think they have Desire Z roms in the G1 forums now.
I hope we get some devs to stick around. My decision to get an Evo 3d will be based on who goes and who stays. I'm a huge fan of Aamikam (MikFroYo) and Konikub so if they split there's probably a good bet I will too. Unless they still develop for the Evo. I know many devs who did dev work for the G1 long after they upgraded so it's not out of the ordinary.
My fingers are crossed. If there's no one who can make that 2.3 w/sense update super sexy like they did 2.2 w/sense then it might be time to split.

How come not ready for gingerbread? It's basically the same **** except for the cool lockscreen and the dope keyboard. Coming from being afraid of flashing ANY rom, I flashed Fresh in December, found it to be kinda buggy, then made the leap to CM7 right when RC1 came out, been HOOKED on it ever since. I'm on nightly 30 now and it's pretty dang stable. Make the leap, man
I've tried a couple of Gingerbread roms and ran into the usual Sprint VVM problem. While it's no big deal to call voicemail instead of using the visual, the V30 error that pops up every so often is a pain in the butt. I don't suppose there is a rom out there that won't give me that problem? I've tried the fix's listed in different threads and they (for me) work for a few hours and then I'm right back to the error messages. I don't use most of the Sense stuff, so it seems pointless to stay on a rom full of it. I've flashed at least 1 new rom a day trying to find something....
I havent flashed a rom in almost 2 months now, think ill go flash CM7 this evening though just to change things up a bit.

i have the same exact problem, it seems as if there is always a good rom! Sense is good but battery consuming, CM is good but not flashy enough, everything else i flash is either a theme or an enhancement. It never ends!!!!
I've actually found one to stick with for a while. I haven't flashed in almost a whole day. Sense included and its not totally draining my battery. I'm on luv lol.

best rom to run?

what would be the best rom to run, what is the most stable and would allow me to stay active on my phone at the same thing as giving me great customizations and battery life? also does any of the roms out there all you to set songs for the notification and messaging/email...
I want to say all around cm7(aosp) is the best rom, but not the most stable at the moment. If you like sense roms id say the best is myns warm 2.2. Second best sense rom is koni's elite III imo.
Download "zedge" for custom ringtones and notifications. (Free in market)
It's honestly up to you to find a rom that works for you.
Everyone is going to tell you the name of a different rom.
As fast as sense roms go, I found that Fresh gave me the most stable experience.
Aosp, I found salvageMod to be more stable than cyanogen mod, but cm is much more customizable.
I personally run Myn's Warm Z

After the most recent cm update, I honestly don't know how any rom could be more stable than that. Everything works and 0 forecloses. To each their own though. I did use Fresh for a while and that seemed to be a pretty quick Sense based rom as well. What is best for me may not be for you. Just do like the rest of us and become a flashaholic
Like bjb said, we all have faves, for different reasons, ymmv.
The two Sense based ones that he mentions are in my sig, and also I've found MikFroyo to be very smooth, good batt life, but pretty much stock look.
Going to an AOSP ROM, or a variant like CM7, can be fun, but be Sure to read all the notes and helpful hints in the first posts for each ROM, they all have their "issues". But often they are worth it for the customizations and tweaking options...
Personally, I am a Sense user, but I ran CM-types on my Hero for a long time, and loved them. The Hero needed them though, to get any real function. The Hero choked on Sense.
But (again, my opinion) I've found Sense based ROMs to be the most stable, and fully "working" (your definition may be different than others) on me Evo. Mainly because the Evo has enough power to actually run it...
blah blah blah...
I have been very impressed with CM7 so far..
CM7 one the top on my list for sure..
Does there REALLY need to be 57,000 threads asking what is the best ROM??
Can't people just READ the goddamn forums?

That's the best way...flash all the highly spoken ones...try them for a week, make a note to yourself, then continue on, and stick with what you like.
I have tried a lot of rom,(I am addicted to flashing) and with all these roms. there are some shortfalls. I am on HW 0004 and apart form the screen brightness issue, i find that TMartinPPC_EvoGingerSense_v0.1 is very stable and effective. My screen is not thst bright anyway and the battery is good too.
If you look in the EVO developement section, myns rls5, then mikfroyo 4.6 for sense...then CM 7x and miui for aosp are the most popular. Start with those..

well if you love MIUI on the Vibrant, then youll definitely love MIUI on the 4G. Its blazing fast, highly customizable, EVERYTHING works, and the devs keep it updated well. I would recommend demonSPEED MIUI, never had any issues with it. also if you get tired or bored of the iphonish look, just download launcherpro or ADW and its like using a whole new UI

it's a lot more pretty than CM7 in a lot of ways but it can have it's laggy/buggy moments, particularly the launcher (little on the slow side)
I use a different launcher anyways. I dont like the MIUI iPhone style icons.
When i first try the MIUI roms, it was an amazing rom, but by the updates and all, it get bugged and bugged, i get back to sense <3.
I ran MIUI when it first got released, did not really like it. I installed it again figuring i have a long weekend i will give it a run. Damn i think i'm in love. the customization is crazy and quick. the rom is buttery smooth. I am having a few problems with handcent and plume but nothing deal breaking. Great rom my new daily driver.
I also installed this rom over the weekend and so far so good. I have all my apps sorted in folders which makes things much easier
Have been running MIUI since May, updating every week with new releases and I can't go to another ROM. I have tried but I end up running right back to MIUI. Really amazing work.
I've been debating whether or not to install it, haven't been able to take the plunge yet. Looks like a great ROM tho
I have run miui quite a few times, but cm7 has always been the most reliable for me... just my opinion.

The key I've found to MIUI is to find a version that runs bug free on your phone and stick with it until another comes out with an update that you really care about. I generally keep the version I'm on for ~1 month because I don't want to deal with the chance of that weeks minor updates screwing something up.
Is it just me or is half this ROM in chineese. Have I messed up or is that just the nature of this ROM

It is a good Rom, the dev team knows what they are doing. However with a stock interface that leaves a lot to be desired in the customization department..... I switched to adw launcher.... then figured why not go back to cm7 that has adw as it's native launcher.....
Um, did you notice the theme manager?

YOUR Preference

You have an HTC Evo Shift? You rooted it and put a custom OS on it?
Awesome.
First timer right her who wants to ask your preference, the only thing I have to have is the ability to tunnel my internet to project a free hotspot. That is available in CM7, so far I am leaning towards a nightly build... But essentially since I have not done this before, I don't know the best, I'm sure no one knows the "best"...BUT I would very much like to know your favorite considering that is my main concern

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.

It's either CM7 or Sense.
Pick one. If you pick CM7 take a look at my thread.

Don't discount MIUI.. there are a lot of people into it for one reason or another. Myself being one of them. Someone new to flashing roms might find it's exactly what they're looking for.

I think miui is pretty cook because you can literally change everything! A ton of themes and icon packs. Just so many ways to customize. But I live supreme. I just can't leave it!
I flashed miui just to flah it and I haven't flashed another rom since... love the ui straight and to the point, lots of themes is def a plus... I have no 4g so don't miss it at all...
