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.

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.

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

Hey xda,
I just got a HTC G2, straight of ebay. I'll be following the tutorials posted to perma-root, CID unlock and S-off (not using visionary).
My only question and concern is, just because I am new to this phone, apart from CM being at the top, what other roms are stable? fast? and reliable? (decent battery life, not too many fc's etc)
I'm very much interested in something with HTC Sense, but meh, am willing to compromise if its too buggy. I've been reading here and there that there are tons of problems with scaling etc when phones switches from portrait/landscape etc.
Any suggestions will be great! Thank you for reading this far!!
Sorry, but you're going to have to do what everyone else does. Try them out and decide for yourself.
Hello and welcome!
My suggestions:
If you want sense, look up Virtuous 1.0.2 for froyo. If you want sense 3.0, look up Virtuous Fusion 1.0.0.
If you want stock android, look up Virtuous G-lite 1.0.2.
All of the above ROMs are by the same dev, are very stable and I have used all of the above. Currently using G-lite because as much as I love sense, it does take alot of memory.
As posted before, try the ROMs for about a week each and see how you like them. It's all personal preference.

I couldn't agree more; as far as ROMs go, rmk's are the most stable. CyanogenMod7 is actually extremely buggy still on the G2 (at least, when I used it a few weeks ago). While CM7 is probably the fastest ROM I've used, there are lots of little things that don't work correctly, and newer builds sometimes will break things that worked on older builds. I'm currently running G-Lite and I'm extremely satisfied.

Cm6.1.1 is nice and stable with decent battery life. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the myriad gingerbread releases but it gets the job done and can be tweaked to appear incredibly 'speedy' by using spare parts from the app market and Launcher Pro.
Ill throw my vote in there for Pyrorom. Its fast and is based off of CM7 if I remember correctly. I had tried a few, but as soon as I booted Pyro, I knew it was the one.
Good luck anyways.

virtuous g-lite is faster than cyanogenmod... check it out.
Try a stock rom! Or dive in and before you know it you will be flashing new roms every other day.

fwiw I have yet to find another ROM as stable as GingerVillain 1.5 with the 4.02.17 radio. Everything works perfect and I can get 18 hours battery life.
Tried Glite 1.02, super smooth, great ROM with the 4.30 radio BUT could not get the bluetooth to pair. Plus a few minor quirks with the camera flash not working. This is mostly due to the hw differences between the G2 and desire Z. I have a bell Can Desire Z
if u don't want sense...
If you have a G2, go for Glite 1.02 otherwise GV 1.5 is stable and can't be beat ..yet imo
Cm7 has been the only rom I stayed with. I tried sense roms and wanted to pull NY hair out, I simply just cannot stand sense.

If you're looking for a sense rom, I'd recommend insertcoin.
I'd also recommend trying out Miui and vanilla based Roms

In time, yep, will be flashing around here and there and i'll know for myself. I just wanted to know which ones are the best to start of with. I remember when i got my Milestone, man, i flashed all the bad roms first, had soo many problems.
Especially when ROM threads exceed 50 pages, Yikes!! Takes forever to go through them.
Thanks though!

I saw the video review of it on Youtube and it looks solid! Thank you!
Just finished rooting my Evo 4G for the first time and was wondering about the different ROM available. I haven't rooted since i had my Hero a year ago. I had fresh on my Hero and loved it. However I mainly use launcher pro and wanted to get away from a sense based ROM as I wanted to use full HDMI out and bluetooth HIDS and from last time I heard a bug in sense prevented this..is this still correct?? I was looking toward CM7.
So does anyone have any recommendation to start off with?
Thanks,
-Stephen
Sense does have the broken Bluetooth stacks, yes. So AOSP-wise? Whenever I actually use AOSP, I use MIUI with latest Tiamat kernel. People complain about no 4G and how it looks like an iPhone, but it is so customizable and it has some great devs.
Other than that, I would suggest SalvageMod or Deck's.
MIUI>SalvageMod>Deck's. All with the latest Tiamat.
But I am a Sense guy, so you know.... Full HDMI mirroring works on Sense with latest Freedom and Chopsuey kernel, if you are interested.
And if you need a refresher, check out my guide in my signature. It is written for Sense but it should apply universally.

My recommendation would be Team Nocturnal Xplod 1.2 with Tiamat 3.37, it has bewn very smooth for me and AOSP

ICS themes from market (both cm7 and adw.)

i recommend amon ra, and if you are interested in learning about aosp roms/kernels click on the link in my sig it's a guide that will explain it all to you with download links to all the roms and download zips to all the kernels. and if you need help installing your rom/kernel i put a link there to a guide for that
Thanks everyone,
I'm gonna start w/ CM7 stable. A few quick questions. What would be the best kernel to go with this. Something to increase battery, trickle charging.
Also do i need to flash a radio with this??
I went with Decks. From what I read it is a striped down version of CM7. What are the main differences? whats has been removed?

Decks is the way to go with aosp roms. I read people praising salvaged zen all the time, but I always have issues when charging my phone on that kernel. I go with.Tiamat. I like the idea of an aosp rom that is still being updated.

Go with cm7.0 always gave me the best speed and battery life. Use tiamat kernel with supercharger script.

I Like sinister R9 - its sense based It is very fast has working everything as far as ive seen used this rom for over 3 weeks and as a result even my IT guy that swares by AOSP CM7 switched to it and he also likes it alot .. The one thing i can say i didnt like about Cm7 is the way it links contacts .. sense is amazing at linking contacts

yea the contact link is the 1st thing i noticed. Don't like it at all but i can deal with it. Main reason I'm going w/ AOSP is to use bluetooth HIDs, as sense doesn't allow this.

Can I just flash the Tiamat on top or will i have to reflash the ROM again and start over?
I just flashed the tiamat kernel. went w/o SBC as i have read that can be risky. Do I need to adjust any settings to help with battery life or does the kernel take care of that? Should Id be using setCPU?

FFS, there is no 'best ROM'! You will get thousands of different answers, and this has been asked and explained so many times before. Have you even bothered searching?

Okay then thanks for the help I'll do some searching

That depends on what you want and like. If you want the newest of the newest android, go for a Ice CreamSandwitch (ICS, android 4.x). I think it is not completely there yet for a normal user to use it on a daily basis. Personally i like the Cyanogenmod (CM) roms and don't like the normal gingerbread roms that much and roms that use Sense.. But it's all personal taste.
Basically you need to choose between the following sorts of roms:
- Cyanogenmod ICS, ICS, Cyanogenmod, gingerbread or Sense.
- Looks (Miui, sense) or performance
- The default kernel
I like the following roms: Dorimanx-ROM-HIGH-END, HyperDroid-CM7,
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7, NexusHD2-Gingerbread, NDT MIUI.
If you don't know what to choose from, go for a rom that has a lot of views/replys in it's thread and see if you like what you see.
cm2.3.7
or
miui 2.3.7
ics has some problems..
Miui seem to be most stable on mine with best battery life... had to move on tho screen cracked

You've been here long enough to know that there is NO 'best' or 'fastest' ROM. It's subjective and the answer varies from user to user. I think the easiest thing to do would be to quote myself here:
Nigeldg said:
Hey, what's the best colour?
What's the best food?
What's the best phone?
What's the best song?
What's the best movie?
What's the best car?
OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T ANSWER BECAUSE IT'S AN OPINION BASED QUESTION!
Seriously, I'm getting really tired of these best ROM threads. There is no correct answer, and yet you people still create them. All that happens is that they're closed by a mod or they turn into 10 post spam threads where new users open old threads to post questions in the dev forums. If you just wanted the ROM most people use then why not look at the thread view count and post count?
To quote PG101 (I think) 'coming to XDA and asking for the best ROM is like going into a bar full of drunks and asking what's the best drink'.
I wouldn't have posted this if you had admitted in post #6 that you're wrong through Marvlesz and Kameirus's pure logic, but you've somehow tried to justify posting an idiotic question which is quite annoying.

I think pac man v1.2a Ram 's very good just a battery life too much, But is the most stable.

I think this has gone on long enough. There is no 'best' ROM, there are only favorite ROMs. Thread closed.
