CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

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.

[Q] Favorite Rom

What is everyone's favorite gingerbread rom with working hdmi, 4g and hotspot? On the latest Fresh build but looking for a change. Also, which roms do you need to partition your sd card for and what is the reason. Thanks for the help.

My favorite Rom that had hdmi was myn warm 2.2. Currently all of the newer roms can't get hdmi because we don't have the new 2.3 kernel for the EVO. Also, you only need to partition of you are going to one of the sense 3.0 roms. I do know that all aosp 2.3 roms have hdmi working, but I'm not a fan of aosp.
Hope I helped.

Salvage mod 1.3 which has 4g
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have been leaning towards synergy... what does anyone think?

Synergy's my favorite ROM, but it doesn't have working HDMI (as far as I know). Warm 2.2 is your best bet for Sense with HDMI, but there's tons of stuff on the AOSP side of things.

Synergy is great... No hdmi.

I prefer MikG 2.3, but if you need HDMI I believe it works on Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0.

Long time CM7 user. I use Decks now (based off CM7). Running 1.2.1 now. EVERYTHING works.

Just started using SnS for a while and everything is very smooth, no lag and great battery life. I was getting a lot of lag with 2.1/3.0 roms.

Decks!
It is nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.

Currently deck 1.2.1 w sz 2.2.1 kernel. No other rom compares on my 0004 Evo so far. Battery. HDMI mirroring. Everything works perfect and I use the **** out of this phone.

recommend ROM?

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.

thanks, ill look into those. Also what recovery do you recommend CM or RA?

Amon Ra by far

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

My recommendations :
CM7.1.0
ICS themes from market (both cm7 and adw.)
Set screen density to 200.

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?

do not use set cpu and if you want to learn about aosp you should click on the link in my sig and you should really look through the Q&A section b/c it will help you out A LOT!!!

I have tried a bunch of roms, asop and sense, I by far like the aosp roms much better. I am currently digging the latest Xplod rom by Team Nocturnal.

Team Blaze Roms with Sense 3.5 you cant go wrong with Blaze

Fastest Most Stable ICS Setup?

Wondering what you guys running ICS as a daily are running as a kernel and with which scripts. I'm not very familiar with scripts I've never used them so any help would be cool. Also if you have any reccomendations for just a very fast stable setup that's not ICS any input is appreciated

Well....I'm runnin aokp's latest ics with papa smurfs build.prop tweaks. Smooth as butter for me. Of course minus the front cam, video recording and 4g etc.
Check out the dev section n flash a few diff ones.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

A very fast stable setup? Any of the GB AOSP roms are what you're looking for. I've been running ICS for almost 2mo, and AOKP build 25 is the most stable build of ICS I've come across, but of course, there are things not working yet.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I have to agree with them. AoKP Build 26 with Papa Smurfs build.prop script its pretty awesome. AOKP has the most customizable options as well like the battery percent meter.
Drews/Decks seem to be the most cutting edge and experimental tho. They've been working hard on makin HA work.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys gonna try AOKP with the smurf script. Is there an ICS kernel available?

You'll wanna stick with the kernel that comes with the rom for now. Tiamat did just release a new one, but it was pretty bad (still, obviously I'm super happy they're working in it)

I have seen a lot of people raving about swipers ICS MIUI. I downloaded but haven't flashed yet. What makes it so great? I will probably have to give it a try tonight. I just hope its a smooth set up. I hate having to flash gps drivers and stuff like that. But if its that good I guess its worth the setup time.

Exactly. Once again, NOBODY can tell you what the best rom for you is. Everyone has their own wants/needs, and not to mention the same rom will not run the same on every single device. Try a few roms, and find one you like, simple as that.

I use the Miks rom and it run flawlessly

I've been running nitrous for awhile now. The dev is extremely good at taking requests and keeping everyone updated on his progress.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I tried nitrous but the battery life blew dogs. I'm in SOS 1.9 ics I love ics are there any other good ics roms out there.

I'm partial to MikG 3.11 (or the latest). Stable, smooth, decent features and stays pretty updated.

Anything MIUI has been awesome for me...So customization & runs fast, everything works besides 4g but I cant get 4g in this area anyways...Plus the themes change up the look of your phone alot!! BTW Why is ICS Muiu running Mason kernel the best? Does GPS camera video ect work?? How do I get video or movies from my phone to work on my TV thru QQ player?

n00b-rom!?!

I am an OG Epic user, and the biggest (only?) complaint I had and have seen with our ICS ports is that the lack of battery life renders the phone unuseable. Is the same the case with the Evo? I see a lot of ICS roms and folks here seem to like it, but I've flashed the Evo's on my account with some roms lately that score unbelievable battery life so I'm hesitant to change.
