Best Roms and Kernels (Stable) for EVO - EVO 4G General

Hey guys, I not sure where to post this, as being new to the forums. I recently just rooted my phone with unrevoked. I am running CM7 right now, but am looking for the ideas for Roms and Kernels. Thank for your time

Depends on what u r looking for (battery life, performance,aosp, sense, etc). I have tried many different ones but i keep coming back to cm7. As for kernals it depends i what u want. I have tried tiamat, savege Zen, and cm. Liked all but again kept coming back to cm. My advace just flash and try it it to you find one u like and what works with ur evo. Elmake sure to.check out the wiki for more information on roms and kernals. Enjoy and happy flashing.
EDIT: make sure to do a nand backup before flashing.

If you want the most stable then stick with stock! Otherwise research, read, and test on your own!

The MOST stable and fully functional ROMS are Sense based, not CM7 or MIUI, which, BTW are both AWESOME ROMs, but both are either a bit buggy or have certain things that don't work yet.

Best rom for me must:
1- 100% everything working.
2- More features => better.
3- Speed.
so for me best rom is Ginger-AleV3:

Unless if you have a Novatech screen, then you have that nasty full-brightness bug. And my browser kept on crashing on me.
Sense, I would say maybe Myn's RLS 5 or Inspire 4G port (no 4g for Inspire port)
Might I suggest Deck's ROM, if you don't like Sense? With Tiamat 4.0.4 SBC & Viperboy's undervolting scripts, that thing flies. And Deck is very dedicated and fixes things very quickly. He even is working on Sprint Dialer codes too.
Otherwise, I am on MIUI with the same Tiamat+Vipermod. No 4G though, but that thing kills battery.
I'm waiting for the Droid X port to finish though, once some bugs are fixed, that will be my daily driver

There are a lot of good sense based ROMS.
In MY experience, on my phone, Koni III and HG Giger are the best. Everything I need works, and works well

Myn's Warm twopointtwo has been a really stable sense rom for me.
But then I got Launcher Pro and a bunch of customization apps and no longer use any sense stuff.

a quote from an earlier post of mine.... all about roms.....
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.

I really like MIUI for the phenomenal battery life, but I can't do without 4g...

[Q] Good roms for mt4g

I am currently running evil muiu for my mt4g but are having issues with the wifi connectivity and also with the 4g reception. It bounces from the "H" to 3G and even back to crappy Edge sometimes. Any good stable roms would be appreciated

I tried all the other ROMS out there and if functionality is what you're looking for, I would stick with the ICE Glacier rom. Everything works and its fast! I use to switch up rom's everyday but always go back to Ice. No wifi issues, FFC works, navi and all that good stuff. I ran CM6 for a week but it was still missing some of the functions. Ill probably rum CM7 when everything works. You cant go wrong with the Glacier Rom. Just install ADW or LPP and customize it to your liking.
good link for the Glacier you run?

Just dload v1.1.4, it just came out 2 days ago. Its fast and has awsome battery life!
Oh..make sure you do a backup and wipe data, wipe cache before flashing it. You probably already know that.
one more quick question, any way to get rid of all that [email protected] blue lol, id prefer a unthemed rom...also have you ever ran evil 4g hd v0.2.2-1.72.405.3??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844594
just install the unthemed version
unthemed links on the forum are dead
Im not to fond of the blue also. I just installed the "unthemed" version and use LPP as a launcher. I might be in the minority but I like the Sense UI over plain froyo, I like the functions, dialer, widgets . Heres a screenie of what I'm running at the moment. Hope this helps...
​
like that lakeshow...like i was saying earlier i could open the link for the unthemed, anychance u can post a direct link to it for me?

Dload it directly from your phone. The ROM will be in the dowload folder when its finished. Flash the file from there. You cant dlaod it from a PC, it gives a blank page but the download should work directly on your MT4G.
I have to agree 100% w/ Lakeshow423. Once I installed ClockworkMod Recovery and flashed a new recovery, I was going to try out CM6, Gorilla's, Ice, etc.
I went with Ice Glacier first, after reading everyone's positive reviews. That and it's still the HTC Sense UI, which I wanted. I used a G1 for years so I've had plenty of the vanilla Android experience.
Also, I am not experiencing any issues downloading the latest (1.1.4) release @...

I actually installed the themed version first, thinking I'd like the cool blue trim/accents. It actually ended up being a bit much for me and I found myself longing for the unthemed version. I couldn't be happier with this ROM. For those looking to "keep things the same," but want to get more speed, a better user experience and a bit better battery life (via SetCPU), I think Ice Glacier is the wiener.
Add to that, the devs working on it - teamsilence and NOTXEL21 - have been nothing but nice and quick to release updates. The ROMs are pretty much near perfect. There was an issue in 1.1.3 with WiFi hotspot (an issue w/ the included kernel) and they pretty much immediately released, 1.1.4 with a fix (downgraded kernel). Add to that, the devs are already "teasing" Gingerbread. Please, do not take this as, "shlongwoodian said they're releasing a Gingerbread ROM." I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying these two devs seem like cool guys and they're doing great work...and I'll stick with them for updates, not TMO or HTC.
I like Sense, so I wasn't looking to theme/mod my interface too much. I think my "almost-standard-issue" home screen is quite sexy, if you ask me...
Going to Ice Glacier is the best thing you can do for your HTC Glacier. I can't stress enough, to do a Titanium backup first (verify it too) and then before flashing/deleting or doing ANYTHING in recovery, do a Nandroid backup first!

Yep, Cyanogen is Sense-less and will give you the vanilla Android feel.
Hands down, Ice Glacier is where it's at, IMHO. Our employee wanted vanilla and tried Cyanogen - he ended up back at Ice Glacier.
It all comes down to personal preference, both with the ROM itself and the dev(s). I get a good feel from both with Ice Glacier.
The good thing is, you can try em all! Make a Nandroid, try and if ya don't like, flash another ROM.
Those iPhone girlies don't have that luxury.
[[[Ice Glacier beats Rock ~ via XDA App]]]
I like the phone exactly as it comes from T-Mobile. All I wish I could do is remove stuff I don't use like news, stocks, and some of the games. I would also like to do screen shots, and it wouldn't hurt if it were faster, maybe load different themes. Aside from that, I like everything as its meant to be and find this blue to be quite annoying.

Me too, apparently

Which ROM do you prefer for your G2?

I'm not asking for the best ROM and why. I'm just asking what do you guys prefer and why?!? I'm getting my roommates G2 flash-ready and then we have to make a decision and he really has no idea and I haven't owned an HTC before so I wouldn't know where to begin.
Just list your preferred ROM, why and maybe some cool features you like about it.
CyanogenMod is my pick. It takes Android as Google meant it to be, and adds all sorts of functionality. Look here for a very incomplete list of extra goodies. It's a "function over form" kind of ROM.
This is all done by a team of tens of people around the world on a daily basis for years. It's really hard to find that kind of support, dedication, and reliability from any other ROM. Not to mention, the user base is HUGE so you can find support really easily if you're having any technical problems.
I'm very grateful for the CyanogenMod Nightlies. I have played with a few others, but keep coming back.
Why? For starters, check out their web page http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ it shows what you are in for. Vanilla Android. The best part for your room mate to know, is that they don't have to stick with it if they are unhappy. The G2 is very easy to wipe and flash. Use a backup file like MyBackup or Titanium. Then flash back and forth till you find what you prefer.
But I always go back to CM!
MIUI.
I've tried all the ports out there for at least a week each.
I started off with CM7, as my favorite, but I've begun to like MIUI more because of it's "out of the box" completeness. There's tons of usability customisations I used to implement on the CM7 rom, but I have to do very little on MIUI to get my phone to the same level of productivity as CM7 does. SO yeah, I'm on MIUI now. ^_^
I guess I am the rogue here, don't like CyanogenMod ROM's or any CM7 based variant - they're fast, but they always seem buggy to me - I like either G-lite or G-Slim, these are very stock gingerbread, with mild or no overclocking, and mind-blowing battery life and most of all NO ISSUES - no GPS not working, no wifi calling or tethering issues, no force closes all the time, you get the picture.
but to each his own - wouldn't be a very interesting world if we all used the same ROM!
Same, I dont really like CM roms.
Virtuous roms are nice. G-lite or unity.
I use Virtouse Trentacinque at the moment. its only beta, but it's the best sense 3.5 rom out there.
I use InsertCoin Sense 2.1+3.0. I like Sense nad this rom has the best combination of using only the most interesting Sense 3.0 widgets with speed and low memory use of Sense 2.1.
miui are the best roms!
MIUI ftw!

[Bulletproof] MIUI for looks
CM7 for functionality
ive been using G2 Slim for a week now and its the best ROM ive used so far. its fast, clean and has the best battery life when paried with the new radio update from tmo.
There is a thread like this at least once a week.
As you can see, its a matter of personal taste, and those tastes vary quite a bit. Once the phone is rooted, it only takes about 5 minutes to flash a new ROM (after its downloaded). So your buddy should compare features listed for the ROMs, then just pick a few, and try them to see which he likes best. Do a backup with clockworkmod before flashing a custom ROM, just in case he wants to return to the stock ROM easily.

My thoughts exactly and g lite here too!
Like redpoint said, try it and see what you like. Me personally I've really started liking mexdroid, it's got the functionality of cm7 but is nicer to look at, flashier and pretty but still fast.
Glite battery life light use not bad, and fast and stable.
Tapatalk hosting sucks lol, it reads 10 1/2 hours exactly and I'm at 78 % battery life
I like CM7 and MIUI. CM7 because it's fast and full of features, and MIUI because it is extremely customizable.
Speed,animations, battery life, dev support,and ICS theme. Get the combo in my sig!
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO ROM/ICS CM7 theme.
Bulletproof MIUI for now... probably unless Sense 3.5 ROMs get smooth and stable. CM7 on Vision is also great, but I've already got bored with it on ZTE Blade

Will we ever get a fully functional ICS build?
From what it looks like now, yes. The current ICS builds have had an amazing progress and what we need now is someone to backport the gingerbread kgsl drivers or compile an msm-3.0 kernel so we can get a fully functional hardware acceleration.
Obviously, the low internal memory or ROM memory is no problem since we can, using blackrose, repartition the whole internal memory.
What's your thought in all of this? What are you looking forward too? A Cyanogenmod ICS build? A MIUI ICS build? Or simply a vanilla ICS build with no elements of Cyanogenmod or MIUI? Please share your thoughts.
I would just like to thank all the wonderful developers here for doing such an awesome job at bringing us an ICS build - buggy or not, it's still a huge step forward.
I believe CM team will be the first with full functional ICS for N1 and i'm definitly looking forward to it. After that all the others will come up with their different Roms.
I think CM won't be the first, since CM will be way to busy for all the newer phones! Like the Galaxy S2 and the newer dual cores, those will probably get bigger priority..
Can't wait that the ROM works perfectly or almost perfectly!
I'm be super happy with a stock ICS build for the N1. It would extend the life of my phone for another year until LTE gets sorted out by my carrier.
Definitely stock ICS with few tweaks like custom shutdown/reboot menu, FM Radio app, builtin A2SD support, Wifi calling support etc.
Texasice's ICS is doing pretty well on my N1 right now..
It's already stable any ROM?
I'd like to try out a vanilla ICS rom first, then maybe I'll check out CM9.

Yeah, it's amazing what he's been able to do with it on such short notice, being a "college droput" as he said
Totally off topic, but I'd just like to know: Is it true that you pretty much need a college education to get a respectable job over there in the U.S? I mean, after nine years of elementary school and another three in high school (or whatever it's like over there), college is the last thing I'd ever want to go to.

So basically, you should go with texasice's ICS ROM and then samuaz. IIRC, texas said he would never incorporate CM9 into his ROM, so you're good to flash it.
I don't really know what I'll go with. I think it depends on the features and stability of the two. I like Cyanogenmod but maybe, just maybe, I'll stick with stock ICS and first get the hang of it.

I am using the samuaz ICS build right now on a day to day basis and I must say I'm pretty impressed.
Almost everything works fine - gapps, wifi, 3g, a2sd. Pretty amazing for an alpha release.
Most likely I would preffer an pretty much vanilla ICS build in the future.

a2sd implemented by texasice is the best compared to all other implementation I have tried so far. Check out this post by texasice if you are interested.
I am using the "xdata" feature so I can finally see 2 GB internal space! Also I have not seen any slow down in speed while using "xdata".

I have already custom blackrose hboot, latest 4ext touch recovery ready for the video recording feature on texasice rom to be ready!
Have been using texasice's on my old N1 as well since he started developing it. His implementation is very good.
I just flashed texasice's ICS ROM p6. So far so good. When CM releases CM9, I will wait for others' feedback and then give it a try just to see the difference.
Am i the only one not even slightly interested in ICS? Everything about it seems to be a big step backwards from Gingerbread. My N1 with CM7 is absolutely spot-bollock perfect as it is, so i don't need a new device and i don't need a new OS!

You're kidding right? Change just for the sake of change is idiotic. I know the teens go for the whole 'Oh look a new shiny thing', but they are also notoriously unreliable, are known to have bad taste and couldn't have an objective thought if their lives depended on it.

You're not the only one, I'm actually quite happy with my N1 right now, its fast and stable, I don't need anything more atm. I will update it only if its clear to me that the latest versions are better
I am interested in quite a few things about ICS, the most important of which is not in any of the current ROMs:
New camera software
Better multitasking (cards)
Better and faster browser
Better notifications
And most importantly...HARDWARE ACCELERATION. This is the only thing missing from current ICS roms and the reason I have not flashed any of them.
The moment this gets stable, I am all over it...
But ICS is a HUGE upgrade because of this fact alone. Personally, I feel like the SGSII will be a better overall phone vs the GNex once it is on ICS. Other than touchwiz...

a2sd implemented by texasice is the best compared to all other implementation I have tried so far. Check out this post by texasice if you are interested.
I am using the "xdata" feature so I can finally see 2 GB internal space! Also I have not seen any slow down in speed while using "xdata".

[guide] top 3 xperia x8 roms

Hello guys,
I realize that i am not a recognized developer or anything like that but i just wanted to share with you guys my opinion on the top xperia x8 roms
NOTE: ALL of these roms are compatible with nAa-14 kernel, so yes you guessed it, they are all android 2.3.7. Lets just admit it ICS and JB roms are great at the beginning but become incredibly laggy as you use them for longer.
If you have the kernel, fantastic, if you dont, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415012
SO HERE WE GO TOP 3
NO. 3 MiniCM7 2.2.2
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
PROS: this rom is just brilliant. It is completely fast and stable. It is rigged with android 2.3.7. Great for gaming. Best avarage gingerbread rom. Comes with cyanogenmod settings. Working radio.basically working everything. Good battery life
CONS: some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated. Annoying installation: gapps not included, separate download

NO 2. IXPERIA 8
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457598
PROS: this rom is very stylish. Looks a lot like the iphone IOS7. Almost everything working. Great performance. Great battery life. Great for those who love iPhones but purchased an android instead.
CONS: the radio is working (I think) , if you know how to use it, (i dont). Some may not like this rome as there is no app drawer, just like the iphone. Some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated.
MY OWN SCREEN SHOTS:
NO 1. JELLYBREAD V4.5
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421129
INTRO & PROS: have you ever wanted a rom on your x8 which just satisfies all your movile needs. This rom is absolute perfection. With a fully functional radio, high speed graphics, great for 2D, 3D and HD games. All features on this rom are fully functional.it never lags, I MEAN NEVER. I use this as my own daily rom more than the other two. HAVE YOU ALWAYS WNTED TO USE JELLY BEEN ON YOUR X8 BUT FOUND ROMS SUCH AS MINICM10 TOO LAGGY? Well this my friend is the rom for you. It combines the conplete Jellybean interface but using android version 2.3.7 (Gingerbread). This rom is very smooth. One sentence to describe this rom : holy sh*t, i found just what i was looking for.
CONS: Some may say that android 2.3.7 is outdated. But other than i cannot think of anything else
MY OWN SCREENSHOTS:
Now to wrap things up. If you have any more suggestions or roms for me to try out and review here , pm me or just comment bellow.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS THREAD. I you agree with my opinions or just likd what you read, dont forget to hit that thanks button
one of the best roms.....
I tryied mini cm and jelly bread both are awesome roms on x8....apart from these roms prime hd is one of awesome roms which is full speed up at 600mhz and with a good interface..i recommend you to add it and you also try it once.....:laugh::laugh:
The only thing of prime hd is its a little bit older....

Where is gdx? Also, what is/are the qualities needed for a good rom? Performance? App compatibility? Appearance? Features? what about kernels? there are more kernels than just naa's. What about roms for people with locked bootloaders? I'd say there is NO BEST ROM. Period. But if you're going to make a list anyway, you need to make it clear where you based your choices.
For example:
no gb/ics/jb rom can match stock or froyo roms when it comes to performance. Yes, froyo is outdated, but isn't gb as well? And more often than not, apps that work on gb work on froyo too.
no gb/froyo rom can match jb roms for app compatibility. Yes, they (specially froyo) outclass jb/ics roms when it comes to performance, but is performance the only basis?
Gb roms are somewhat in the middle, and does not really excel at anything compared to roms on other android versions.
If i had to rate it, i'd have
1. Minicm7 2.2.2 - naa 14
2. Gdx - alfs
3. Froyobread/froyopro
A cm10-based rom would have to be in the top 5 purely for app compatibility, but the list would be dominated by cm7 and froyo roms.
Prime hd is older, but still better than something newer ROMS, like nexus optimus, ixperia x8 etć
sorry OP, but you ranking is incompatible with the truth. You forget for old better projećts.
Hey guys, these are just my opinions of what the top 3 are (as i said at the top of the thread). Opinions cannot be false. Compare gdx to minicm7. What is the difference? Actually i found that gdx has a lot of missing features. FROYO has the same performance as gingerbread, and gb is more updated, so why bother with froyo. As i said in the thread, ics and jb have slow performance and that is why they are not in top 3. They probably would come in the top 10. For people who havent unlocked bootloader, they should look for another thread because i did say that they are all naa-14.
Guys, please re-read the forum rules again... "Best ROM/kernel/mod/.." threads are not allowed on xda
--> Thread closed
Thanks for your understanding
