To those that don't change roms. - EVO 4G General

How does stock gingerbread run and if you don't root and just run a stock rom what's your reasons for doing so?
I prefer not to mess with phones but my evo gets pretty slow at times so I change roms to find one that runs the best on my phone.

I've kept mine stock simply because I've never had any issues with it that would prompt me to root and install a different ROM. Mine's never slowed down on me, and has not had any other problems.

Use cm7+ godmode kernel+supercharge script and you'll wanna have my kids
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

What exactly have you gained using, "cm7+ godmode kernel+supercharge script" that a stock user would want?
I've flashed CM7 on my Evo god-knows how many times and tried a multitude of different kernels and have never seen performance that is significantly better than a stock Evo. CM7 and custom kernels let me allowed me to overclock but so what? I gained nothing by o'clocking. I've been able to get about 23 hours of bettery life on stock and kernel#15, wifi tether and CM7 came close to that. I'm not saying that stock's better than CM7--maybe I missed something, like the supercharge script!? whatever that is...
So share, what significant improvement do your mods give over stock?

If you are looking for battery life improvements I use CM7 with SZ 2.2 kernel and haven't seen anything beat it yet. Even with stock and lack of Widgets and such. Thus far it seems this has run alot more effectively than anything else I have tried.
The number of system tweaks and customization built in to CM that usually would require a separate app to do is awesome. Instead of having all these apps and workarounds to do what I want, it is already built in to CM.
The amount of support that the CM team gives their mod alone is good enough for me to have switched from stock as well.
Obviously ROMs aren't for everybody but that is just a small tie bit of why I like them.

Search for what I said to use and use set CPU to use conservative governor. I experience a lot of lag in sense but NONE in cm7 using the supercharger script. You can't just flash it one day and expect it to be perfect. Let it sit for a week, condition etc and then you'll see what I mean
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.

I can't stick with one ROM,Kernel, or various tweaks because I haven't tried all of them and flashing is so easy. Right now I have kushdeck's ROM 1.0(2.3.3) and tiamat kernel 3.3.8 sbc with viperboy's viperMOD v3 2.3 -75mv undervolt. My battery life has sucked since rooting and flashing ROMs and nothing has really improved it.

I try other roms all the time but always come back

I followed these instructions and now enjoy great battery life.
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/01/htc-kernel-15-v7-enables-trickle-charging-of-evo-4g-battery.html
Prior to this, I was getting 12 hours with average use. I turned off everything and just didn't seem to matter. After swapping to the kernel recommended in the above post, my battery was signifincantly better. No undervolting, background on, GPS on, WiFi.. I don't use Bluetooth for anything so I can't vouch for that.

I use stock right now because I took the OTA update, but I plan on flashing CM7 once root is gained on it. With all of my apps installed and several widgets that I prefer to use active, I run about 260 memory unused on average, and I typically only charge overnight. I work overnights and use Pandora constantly, run WiFi at home and at work, and leave GPS on. No 4G in my area, sadly, so no ideas on that.

Same here, haven't had any need plus I have to have my phone working with emails being synched. All I really need is WiFi tether and to backup my apps and stuff. When my evo gets slow I just hit task killer and back to normal.

Shopping for a new ROM. please advise!

Hey guys and gals. i'm done with BakedSnack. it started out well, but it's gotten so laggy that it's simply not usable. so i'm looking for suggestions for a new rom.
so far i've tried two OMJ's, three BakedSnack, a real early DamageControl and an early Fresh.
basically i'm looking for all the standard hardware(wifi, 4g, cam, etc) to continue functioning. i'd also like decent battery life(a whole day is more then enough) i don't want to lose my 50fps unlock. i'm also looking for something optimized for performance. apps opening and closing smoothly and quickly, screens animating smoothly and most importantly no lag while using swype(that happens now with BS and it's giving my all kinds of strange phrases when i try to type)
can someone suggest some new roms? and yes, i know i could go read through dozens of postings and look at features, but id much rather hear about their behavior in the real world.
thanks!!

Calkulin's EViO is what you're looking for. It's located here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
that looks really promising! but do i need to install a new kernel? i'm currently running bakedsnacks latest and i'm worried that it's part of my speed problem
Honestly, if Baked Snack is lagging, you might have a different issue. Lag issues are a lot of time related to your kernel. Try flashing Netarchy's latest (not the beta but the stable one...I forget the numbers) and see how that goes. I've tried almost all of the ROMs but haven't found anything as good as BS.
it started out awesome, everything was slick and zippy. now, about three weeks in, it takes nearly 45 seconds to get handcent to open. then when it does open, i have to wait 15-20 seconds for the keyboard to appear. then it takes a bit for the keyboard to get situated cause as soon as i try swipping, the tracer is all over the place :-/
could it be that the kernel didn't flash properly? maybe if i reflash, it'll fix my speed issues?
This is after you reboot the phone every day?

yessir. i had to, just to get a little relief.
Have you tried a simple wipe of your cache or davlick? You will not lose valued info and it will speed up your system.
Laggy yea ok, not sure what your doing but its not on the rom's end . I ran 1.7 for while and it was rock stable no lag no stuttering etc etc
As other roms go try them all see what one fits the needs you have

+1 wipe cache and dalvik and switch to a dif kernel either kings or nets would dobjust fine.

Sounds like a kernel issue to me also. I was running one of his tweaked "best battery" kernels, and started noticing some lag after a while, so I switched to what was the default kernel in 1.5 and the lag disappeared. Also, if you've been running the same bs for a few weeks, then you probably haven't updated recently (like me). Maybe you'll have a better experience with 1.7.

no i'm up-to-date. i'm running the latest 1.7.
See my sig with all my rom info and scores. Fresh is working lovely for me, and everything works. While some of the processor scores may be lower than what the Evo is capable of, I don't think those scores are bad when you consider I'm running Sense and I have a bunch of apps on my phone that are always hogging up resources (i.e. Facebook and Facebook for Sense, Lookout, eBay, Google Maps, HTC's mail, friendstream, Scoremobile widget, weather channel app, Swype, and a live wallpaper). These scores were achieved with Fresh's 3.1.0.2 rom, and I flashed the 3.2.0.0 which is based on the OTA that has not been released yet, but I lost many features with the new kernel from HTC that saves battery life, so I flashed king's kernel over it until the devs get a chance to play with the new kernel. All my root goodies are fully functional on Fresh 3.2.0.0 with Kings kernel.

Try the wiping and maybe another kernel - say what you will about BS, but Hero does you give you kernel options!

i agree with the wiping before and choosing the proper kernel, also what resource intensive apps are you running? maybe you should post a list of installed programs, atrackdog allows you to export.
lastly, you can't shop without your wallet. *runs off*
I'm having no problems with BakedSnack 1.7 and kernel #5. It is the best Sense ROM, in my opinion.

I tried BS 1.7 on a fresh install today and I was not a personal fan. It would bog down and the camera could not focus for squat. Meh.
I really like evio because it does not resize pictures sent using the standard messaging client, a big bonus imo. Paired with BFS#6 and even though I keep trying other roms, I alwasy nand back to my evio.
How do you manage to get 50 FPS on your evo. i am also running the new fresh rom and i am only getting 30 fps. please advise

hey guys, i just had a thought. when i first installed baked snack i wiped with Clockwork recovery. now i'm reading reports that it may not be clearing the cache's like it's supposed to. could this be a cause??

Which is the best rom for me?

So i just found out how easy it is to change the custom rom. right now im on some 2.2 rom.
what is the big difference in 2.2.
also i heard the 2.1 roms have better batterylife and overclocking.
the 2.2 cant and there still buggy right?
so what is your guys opinions?
Everyone is going to have a different opinion. I have tried three of them and I like baked snacks with ultimate kernel. The only thing bad about that one is you will get no support here.
The other popular ones are Syndicate and Epic Experience.

Agree. It stinks and not sure about how many future updates it will have, but baked snack by far has the best battery life for me too. Unfortunately, my CPU doesnt like the ultimate kernel, but it runs fantastic with step2.
The best rom is easily which ever one is the most customizable. If you are going to use something like LauncherPro then it's all about which notification bar you prefer.

I started off with Epic Experience, then moved onto Baked Snack (gasp! #noban)..loved the speed of Baked Snack, but hated the theme and didn't want to investigate another.. (I just really love the stock look) and then switched to Syndicate (IMHO the best).
YMMV with Roms, just try a few and see which one is best for you with trial and error.
best combo I've ever used is backed snack 1.6 w/ ultimate. unfortunantely, there isn't much support. I've had to create my own post in the general section to ask a few questions concerning some of the things I've been experiencing.
also, syndicate and xtreme are great but I hvent gotten the best battery life with them.
as for 2.2 froyo, I'm just going to wait until I recieve the ota and then test out the custom builds.
Sent through the Matrix
I use Syndicate/Extreme. I've improved my battery life to something similar to baked snack by using a combination of setcpu (conservative scaling) and advanced task killer (auto kill on screen off). I unplug around 7 in the morning, and after a day of moderate usage I'm still at around 30-40% by the time I plug it in at ~10 pm. Good enough for me!
Oh, and I've tried the Froyo leaks, not stable enough for me...

[Q] Kernel's compatible with Koni's Elite Series II. HTC EVO.

Hey there! Relatively new to flashing ROM's and such. Rooted last Friday and I've been playing with a few different ROM's the past couple of days. I flashed Koni's Elite Series II ROM last night and I love the ROM. I still hate the battery life on the EVO so I put King's CFS #11 Kernel on it (read some where this was a great Kernel for battery life). Everything was running fine and I installed SetCPU on and had it on 'Conservative'.
It rebooted out of no where and whenever it was booting back up during the boot screen I could tell there was 2 different shades of black. Whenever the phone booted up and I got to the actual phone and dragged the lock bar down you could see little lines (running vertically) up and down the screen and it was reaaaaal laggy. So I figured SetCPU did something to my CPU and was making it bottleneck or something like that, so I uninstalled it. Didn't fix the problem so I restored back to Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo.
So, I love the ROM, and could probably use a crash course with ROMs/Kernel compatibility. If anyone has a link, or even a direct answer as to the thread title, that'd be great.
Appreciate the help!
I am pretty sure that rom is a Sense based rom, so your options for a kernel are pretty broad.
-Netarchy Kernels-Seem to work great for everyone around here and a lot of people are big fans of, I have used some and never had a problem
-Ziggy's- Can be found at www.ziggy471.com and when I did use Sense these were a favorite for me, and gave me the best battery life. With SetCPU use the Smartass governor from my experience was flawless.
-Tiamat- Just came out with a Froyo kernel, I can say that his AOSP kernels are amazing so I would imagine the Froyo would be just the same.
*A handfull of these kernels use SBC and will state if they do. This will give you phenomenal battery life. I have never been a fan and some say that it may cause issues with your battery and your phone(you can read the stories on here). Many have used without a problem though, so if you do you assume the risk.
You will have to decided if you want to use CFS vs. BFS, personally for battery life I prefer CFS but some say otherwise. Ultimately you have to just try them out because not all phones are created equal and will not work the same for everyone. I think there is a thread in Q&A in regards to everything Kernels.
Whew. Thanks a ton for the information. I guess King's Kernel's don't work with this particular ROM. That's fine though.
I'll definitely check out Ziggy's kernel's and see how they work. I've read a couple of the horror stories from SBC based kernel's. I may try one out in the future if I get desperate.
Good to know what kind of ROM it is. Really appreciate the info.

Yeah I checked that website out too. I was just confused on what Kernel's go with what ROM's.
I'm really computer savvy and that didn't happen in 3 days, so this will just take some time.
Update: Just flashed Ziggy's newest EVO kernel. Will use this for a day or two and see how it works.
For the SetCPU Smartass Governer? Do I need to download SetCPU in the market and use the setting through it?

It all depends on what you want to do actually. I believe his kernels are set to Smartass by default, and there is a built in screen off profile that lowers your cpu speed when the screen is off to conserve battery. If you want to create anymore profiles than you will have to get it yes.

Vaelpak 3.2, is it posible this could be the best nonsense rom?

I had what could be called a flashing rom syndrome, everyday was a hustle to flash something new sense or asop, whatever, and then I found the latest installment of Vaelek rom, Vaelpak 3.2 Rc1 nonsense. I have to say this rom has taken the need for me to flash a rom for a whole week now, lol, literally, a whole week! Now this Vaelek guy brings a whole bunch of goodies to the table with his new version of this great rom, among some of them are and not limited to:
The vealek.com website, just like other ROMs but with style, with a fast response to any issues that may arise, if any.
The VP forum app
The Vaelpak settings, these settings are one of the things I like the most, because right from there u can flash Kernels, themes or theme builder as it’s called, where u can mix and match icons and animations at your discretion, mods and patches, device settings, task and news and updates.
This rom also has a mix of sense and asop apps for u to choose from, the performance of this rom is excellent and battery life is way better than the usual (at least for me with nets 4.3.4 cfs more, setcpu 128-245 when screen is off) it last 16 to 22 hours depending on usage.
In closing this is one of the best ROMs sense and nonsense out there right now, with Vaelek leading the way to a total new experience in terms of stability and options build right in the rom’s settings, 5 stars from me. Give it a try!

This is the 3rd rom that I have flashed in the last 2 months. I can't recall what the first one was, but I came from Myn's RS5 prior to using 3.2 remastered. I've been using 3.2 for roughly 2 weeks and love it. Yeah I've had a few problems here and there, but most of it I think is on my part. I also found in order to get it to work right on my Evo I had to wipe everything twice. Not sure why, but it worked. The only other issue I have ran into is that clockwork recovery 3.x doesn't work right. Had problems flashing new roms because of it, went back to 2.6.0.x and worked flawless. Haven't settled on which rom I will be using yet. The stock rom works great, net 4.3.4 CFS NOHAVS NOSBC works ok. Just flashed net 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbc, gonna give it a shot
Vaelpak is a Sense Rom. It is based on the stock 3.70.xxx.x HTC Rom. The title says nonsense because he has taken out almost all the Sense stuff and replaced with AOSP. I tried it a while back and went back to CM7, but with all this new praise for it I may have to give it another try.

Still a buggy phone!!

The Nexus S is quite possibly the best but most frustrating phone I've ever had. I love the hardware and the android OS. I still get random reboots, sometimes sms notifications never show up, and sometimes when I get a phone call the phone becomes unresponsive.
I've been using the latest NSCollab rom for several versions and have never over/under clocked. I clear the dalvik cache after every update and clear data/restore with titanium backup whenever necessary.
I'll feel like I've been doing everything correctly, yet I'm still left with a phone that gives me a lot of grief. What's the problem here? How can I fix this? This is extremely frustrating with no obvious solution.
I had a lot of problems with the nexus s... Now i have a galaxy sii, but i still have the nexus. Using the nscollab, i had a looooot of problems, now the phone are with the stock 2.3.4, in my tests, everything is fine. I will sell it now.

I don't know what kernel that rom uses but that and settings on voltages make the whole difference in stability. Something like stock rom with stock kernel or cm7 with stock or netatchys kernel are always good choices and will give you stability.
Just IMHO

mariosergio2112, how much do you expect to get from selling it?
I believe NSCollab is Cm7 with netarchy and the stock gingerbread launcher -- nothing crazy here.

NSCollab 1.0.35
Android : GB 2.3.4
System : CyanogenMod 7.1 [RC1] [CM Team]
Kernel : Netarchy CFS 1.3.4 [Netarchy]
Truth of the matter is that I've yet to come across a ROM that's rock solid. I've tried them all and always had either lots of random reboots, bootloops, or sluggishness.
I went back to stock last Thursday and it's been butter smooth since. No problems or anything of the sort.

That's both good and bad news. Good news: there's a fix. Bad news: I really like some of CM7's features, but I guess it must go.
I'll give the stock rom a shot I guess.

The Oxygen ROM is very stable aswell.
i tried several roms, but after all i came back to stock, it is stable and fast.. I do miss many features from cm7, but i guess i can live without it.
currently i'm trying to find a kernel with a battery life as good as stock one... i really miss bln ...
All I'm saying look into your voltage settings. Each phone will work different and you have to play with adjusting them. It also takes some time and patience.

No matter what rom I use I end up going back to stock. I don't even think the net kernel is good enough.

no ROM I've tried has ever compared to stock, especially 2.3.4, when it comes to stability.
I tried Many ROMs but all before 2.3.4 (end of April?) and none was able to run for more than a few days without some kind of reboot/bootloop etc.
2.3.4 has been running flawlessly ever since.
Current uptime is like 1100+ hrs and that too cause i had to remove battery to change SIM card.
Hi,
I have installed NSCollab 1.0.35 on a week and have not problems on my Nexus S.
To resume, i had some endless bootloop and a lot of reboot on long calls.

My 2 cents:
I'm on NSCollab 1.0.34, Netharky 1.3.4, KB3, OV to 1.2 Ghz, UV with protonvoltage. Gingerbread 2.3.4
I find this combo much faster than the stock one, smooth and pretty stable. Actually I have some reboots when I stress a lot my device, but they are rare.
So I don't want to renounce to Cyanogen features as the stock rom was really slow IMHO and I will give a try to NSCollab 1.0.35 very soon!
No problems in answering, good radio performance, faster than light (quadrant score: 3600) !! I can survive with a couple of reboot in a week!!
Too much porn?

Why don't you people stop confusing CM7 with a stable ROM? CyanogenMod and netarchy kernel are probably the most crappy android software that were ever made.
I suggest you use Oxygen ROM and Jame Bond kernel. No fancy quadrant benchmarks, stock ROM with basic functions like notification power control and text reflow in browser, zipaligned and all that stuff. Delete setcpu, delete juicedefender and other crappy so called battery savers, do not undervolt and do not touch the CPU frequency. Just let the ROM run like it is supposed to, don't fill it with all the bloatware you find on market that is said to increase performance or battery life, all they do is eating system resources.
I have yet to find a better combination like this for the nexus S, I am using the ROM since 3 days now without a single reboot/FC/freeze/bootloop. I am playing order and chaos MMO 2-3 hours and I can go through the full day without problems, the phone is responsive and simply works, no fancy sh*t.
Using the stock, all is fine..

How does oxygen rom compare to oxygen rom with james bond kernel? I installed the oxygen rom last night and have had no problems so far. Time will tell how it holds up in the long run.
