CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions - EVO 4G General

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?

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

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.

Fastest GB ROM that is NOT CM7?

Give Deck's GB a try
+1 for DECKS!!!
lets just say i love experiment with some strange but i'll always come back to decks
Syndergy based roms are doing me right right about now, so any should be good. If your going to be in the community i find it hard to believe that the urge to flash multiple roms won't eventually get its grip on you
decks is cyanogen, with a different launcher.
try salvagemod or evervolv
Gotta give my vote to mikg v1.04
I'll be the first to represent for VaelPak AOSP GP Preview. I love it, no problems whatsoever for my admittedly-average usage experience. It's still in beta, but Vaelek is a talented dev. Not sure why he left XDA, but he's running his own show at vaelek.com these days.
I've also heard good things about Deck's ROM.

I agree 100% I wasn't a big fan of asop till deck.
Decks is great. I keep finding myself coming back to Decks gb rom. way to go. Try it out and see how you like it.
I never tried Decks, but it is based off of CM 7 from what i'v heard. If you're looking for something other than CM7 then you HAVE to try out MIUI.
Not only is it one of the best GB roms i'v ever used, it's one of the best roms i'v used period (and i'v been flashing roms since the G1 days). Trust me, you won't regret. I highly suggest once you flash it install Go Launcher because the stock launcher is a little "iphone-ish" unless you like that kind of thing, then it's all good.
+1 for Decks ROM......
Deck's rom is pretty awesome. Running that with the SZ kernel, LauncherPro, and the Supercharger script, and my phone has never been faster.

So, I tried using Synergy, and I have no idea what it could have been, but it felt a lot slower than I was comfortable with.
I have yet to try MIUI, but people seem to enjoy it. At the moment I'm on Kingdom R6 and I feel like it's one of the faster ROMs I've used.
I haven't used an AOSP ROM yet, but it seems that Deck is the ROM of choice. I know with CM7 I can't flash it because I used unrEVOked, is that the same situation with Deck?

ROM suggestion for Synergy replacement

Hey everyone, I've been on Synergy RC1 for a few months now. I think it's great save for some lagging, space issues, and a few connectivity bugs. I've been looking at MikG, Mik3D, Synergy RLS, and CM7. I'm looking mainly for speed, battery life, no crazy default themes (all red/blue text, etc.), and basically everything working (4G, wifi, etc). Possible with any of these or another one I have forgotten?
Thanks for the help!
I would choose mikG

Another for MikG...its my favorite sense rom. Very fast and everything works. Aamikam constantly updates it which is nice. Coiledwire has a very nice theme over on the mikg forums. I'd still be using it if I didn't have the high display usage bug on sense roms that eats my battery.

Why not try synergy RLS1. Synergy is my favorite
Synergy RLS1 should have been your choice months ago. It fixed all you said, laggy, and some bugs that were in RC1 and 2. Duh!!
If you want to go ASOP, CM7 is ok. I dont like ASOP, what is the point of having a cutting edge phone like an EVO if you dont run all the bells and whistles of Sense? Kind of counter productive in my view. Sense is what makes an EVO an EVO!!
Good luck. I also run MikG and it is nothing more than Synergy anyway. Has a few more selections on the pull down bar, but other than that, I can see no difference.
Go with Classic! I switched from synergy RLS 1. Its blazing fast!!!

[Q] What is your favorite ROM?

Hey guys, I know this may have been asked a few times already but I wanted to know what your favorite ROM's are as of 2012? I am currently running Legendary ROM 2.2 and I can't say I have any complaints so far. It has only made my phone go from a piece of turd to a diamond. Let me know what you guys like.

And why! Don't just drop a ROM name. Mention which are your favorite features and which other ROMs you might have tried. Maybe this thread will stop the questions "what's the best ROM". Basically it was always asking "what ROM are you using" Because those were the results.
So far legendary has been the best for me! I have tried out thunderhawk (laggy for me) mostly stock (too stock for me)... well let's just say I have tried them all and I always end up back to legendary... it has the perfect balance of themeing, stability, and performance IMO!

Thunderhawk 3.3 has just about every mod I want and runs super smooth with my usage. I like the professional theming and awesome balance of stability, performance, and battery life. I am biased as I help random with some minor debugging at times. There are lots of ways to run your setup, the key is finding what fits your usage. We are all pretty lucky to have so many excellent choices.

So far I have used Marcusants ASC roms 5.1 - His V.2 was a fan of the speed, but just not stable. And I'm not a fan of V.2 with the red color theme. I have also Tried MIUI 1.12.23 which worked good, but i like having the app drawer which this did not. I am currently running CleanGB 1.03 with no issues. It is a stable rom, running 4g without issues and installed gtalk w/video. Next on the list is the new CM7 version which seems to have gotten Wifi stable as well as 4g working.
I have to test out all the roms and supply to all the friends/family that have the epic so they dont end up calling me for every error they get

Again, there is no "best rom". Everyone has their own opinion, and everyone has different wants/needs in a rom. Since you are rooted, just try out a few. That's the benefit of flashing roms, just make a backup, and if you dont like a new rom, flash another or reload your backup.

I can't get AOKP to run more than a minute (literally) without a random reboot and I have flashed my share of ROMs. Plus last I checked AOKP doesn't have everything working.
Your best bet for stable fully functional ROM is MikG3.0.
I'm liking AOKP but it still has some minor issues (being ICS, it's no surprise). I expect it to be my daily once everything is ironed out.
I'm using a tweaked CM7 for daily use, but I also really like the Mik roms.
I'm using the Ligux port from pspunderground. I'm not really into AOSP that much, but this is a great ROM. Very smooth.
