My EVO hates AOSP! - EVO 4G General

My phone seems to hate AOSP roms. I have tried every major aosp rom out on the EVO and everyone makes phone overheat and the reboot! I haven't seen anyone else experience this but I can confirm that it doesn't do it with sense roms...... FML. I really like aosp too

Have you tried the three different kernels? {godmode, tiamat, savaged-zen}

Are you sure that it's overheating? Because random reboots are a standard problem with most if not all ASOP roms. CM7 especially but I also had it with others. You are just using it and BAM spash screen again. I do not think it's heat related though. In all while i love the better battery life and added features, ASOPs have all just been too glitchy for me, especially when it comes to hardware control. No 720p Video recording and a 9 step program to get GPS "fixed"? No thanks.

hard to argue with ignorance

I don't know what the issue is, I have had no problems with aosp on my EVO... Currently running cm7 with the cm7 kernel and have had no issues, maybe try using SetCPU and setting up some profiles to tweak things.... I know something similar is in the rom but I love SetCPU.... I can't remember my last random reboot and I've been running aosp for months, love the freedom it offers you

Especially when it's true. Random reboots happen all the time in CM7. You can't deny it, because you don't own my phone. I get them constantly. There's still no 720p video recording either, the videos i take look horrible on my 55 inch. And the GPS which has been *fixed* multiple times now STILL isn't working correctly on CM7 for at the very least some of us, myself included. I like CM7 I try it at least once a month hoping they've fixed it. So far they have not so I keep dropping it again.

No overclock at all and yes all kernels do the same once my phone gets to 113*F it reboots anything below that and no reboot found out its due to hboot 2.10

Try a rosie-less Sense rom
I've tried many different asop roms, and even considering VaelPak may be one of my favorite roms ever due to customization and stability, I always run into GPS or some other radio issues. Though lacking customization, even though I feel Sense 3.0 greatly makes up for it, I would recommend the brand new Syngergy-Kingdom 7/12 Nightly(if you could even call it that, because it is the most stable and speedy rom of the series yet). Just make sure to superwipe, then wipe all in wipe list(amon 2.3) and then flash it. Others have reported issues but I believe that is due to not fully wiping their device. Enjoy, it's a really flashy rom with the speed and stability needed to enjoy it. You can choose to have rosie or not, but personally I like no rosie due to it being a resource hog and the LP dock having 5 functions. To include rosie, make sdcard/SynergyRom/Rosie before flash of rom and you're set.

Sorry to bring an old post back to life, but didn't want to start up a new thread for this either. Mods, I can start a new thread if you think that is the best route to go.
I'm having the same issue of my phone appearing to get really hot and then rebooting. This wasn't always the case I know as I remember CM7.0 (not 7.1 or RCx) working without issue. It seems that at some point along the updates to CM, I started developing these overheat/reboot issues. I'm about at the end of my contract, so I don't have to put up with this much longer, but still very annoying. Has anyone tried taking apart their EVO to see if there is something clogging up the internals and contributing to the heat factor? I have considered the idea of just going back to stock/unrooting so I could have Sprint fix/replace the phone, but I hate to go through that hassle if there is some other solution to this problem.

Yeah I've run into these same types of issues pretty much ever time I've tried an AOSP rom. IMO up until recently sbc was the only tempting feature to use AOSP over Sense. Now we have sbc on gingerbread sense. Other than that I've experienced no extra features that were worth the headaches that came along with it. I never experienced stellar battery life with AOSP either, in fact I've had better results overall with good stripped down sense roms.

MIUI for EVO... SPEECHLESS! UPDATE: TIPS ADDED!

Folks, I just installed MIUI 0.1.14-RC2.5 and I am totally SPEECHLESS! It feels like a totally different phone! It doesn't even look like a typical Android phone anymore. Yes, it gives the phone an iPhonish feel, but it's amazing indeed. If you have been thinking about giving it a shot, NANDROID and give it a try!
http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?2053-UPDATE-New-Official-Release-Thread-0.1.14
UPDATE: Just wanted to add and compile a list of the little things that make this ROM great and UNIQUE. If you have any tip or things you have discovered, just post them in this thread and I will update the OP.
1. Built-in screenshot feature. Simply press volume down + menu, and you will be able to save a screenshot if your current display.
2. When making a call, you can RECORD the conversation. Once the number is dialed, simply click CALL TOOLS | REC and the call will be recorded and saved as an audio .amr file to your sdcard.
That's exactly how I felt when I first flashed it. Heck that's how I still feel after running it for close to 3 months. It's amazing.

Dude, I am in awe as to how flexible Android OS is. It's just amazing. I just finished flashing RC2.5 where they fixed the MMS issue. I think RC3 will be released tonight.
The ROM looks so professional and fluidly smooth. I don't even have to install Launcher Pro on it nor ChompSMS.

My opinions of course:
Sense ROMs - Myns, Fresh
AOSP ROMs - CM of course and MIUI (is MIUI considered an AOSP ROM?)
Kernels - Any that has SBC integrated

I'm actually running LauncherPro on top of it, and it is even smoother. Have you had a chance to check out any themes yet? I recommend the Darkness theme, it's pretty awesome.
I ran MIUI for a while, not sure if much has changed on it but it was pretty nice. Looks, functionality, and smoothness was awesome. Battery life was in between CM and Sense based rom. who knows with newer kernels and builds but thats how it went for me about two months ago
Yeah I don't know what battery life is like on Sense ROMs anymore but I always have 55-65% left every morning when I swap out batteries. If I forget to swap the battery I still make it through the second day no problem. I'm using these batteries though, and they do last a bit longer than stock.

The look is the least of the MIUI rom. The theme manager makes it very very easy to change the look of the UI.
I've been on this rom since the beginning. It has (had?) features before many Sense roms. One reason I kept going back is the controls in the pull-down screen. Then there's the file manager (ok, right now it doesn't work but 1.1.14 may fix it), the camera, the lock screen. I also like having folders to organize my apps.
I'm hoping that the Wimax on CM means MIUI can also get Wimax. It would be nice to have 4G.

i feel like trying it, which version should i try? lol only things that dont work is 4g and hdmi?
LED's fully functional with Wimax LED Notification
version 1.1.7
Does this mean 4g is working on this version?
For those wanting to try it, official release thread here: http://miui-dev.com/forums/showthread.php?2053-New-Official-Release-Thread-1.1.7
The story with this ROM is that it is not developed for the EVO. It's officially made the for the Nexus One (I think), and we have a generous team of devs to port it over to the Evo each time the official devs release a new version (every seven days or so). Also the ROM is developed in Chinese so there's a lot of translation work to do.
1.14 was just released so those wanting to try out MIUI might want to wait a day or two for the Evo port to drop. If not, 1.7 is working great

About to root a friends evo...... need advice... ran into problems

So I'm about to root my boys evo and start tinkering with it, my question is, what's the best Tom to load and what are the best battery saving mods available to you guys? I'm currently running cm7 on my hero but over always thought the miui rom looked pretty cool but the main thing he wants to improve is battery life. Let me know what your suggestions are. Thanks guys!
Edit: rooted with unrevoked, gained soff, wiped, flashed miui, works great for awhile but then start getting force closes like crazy! Only way to stop it is a reflash! Any suggestions?

Root using Unrevoked... And it depends if you wanna run a sense rom or not? I would perfer Myns RLS5 or CM7 RC1.
for each phone.. it seams to react differently with each.
i think it has to do with phone/ location / use.
you just have to try.. and see which works best for your boy.
you can try the top ROMs:
Mui
Myn
Fresh
CM
then try different Kernels...
there is a lot to choose from too.
me.. I like Myn + Netarchy-Toastmod 4.3.2

For rooting the thread below has a lot of good info about the Evo, for battery life that depends a lot on the ROM & kernel. I highly recommend you do not use a SBC kernel as they charge the battery in a way that every single authority on li-ion batteries tells you not to and can be dangerous.

Honestly, that was minimal usage for me, so I don't usually get that kind of battery life, but it still easily gets me through a day with normal usage.
i think im diggin the Miui rom, are you using the kernel included with the rom? any other tweaks?

Hopefully someone an can chime in with more EVO ROM'ing experience than I.
I have an OG Droid and like all phones, each phone is different from the next. one evo can run a rom and kernel setup great, and another evo will be unstable.
same in the droid world.
the one thing is to back up after root using clockwork recovery or similar methods. that way you can just try the next suggested rom and/or kernel.
also, this was true in the droid world. but is it necassary to wipe data when flashing to a different rom? Do you evo guys need to this as well?
anyway. my keyboard is broken. shift, 0, and the c key is getting flakey.

Completely correct. Evo users should backup before flashing another rom or kernel, and always [at a minimum] wipe the cache and dalvik cache. If you get a bunch of force closes or issues [can happen when going sense to aosp or vice versa] a clean wipe might be needed, in which go into the rom, backup all apps and data, then restore only apps and data, not system settings.

I LOVE 2.2 stock

I've been one of those people who listened to others saying "stock sucks" so i always flashed a rom etc.
Today after getting my refurb, and TimeWarner Cable calling us saying our wifi might not work for a hour or two...
I just checked out the stock i got.. 2.2
It was pretty damn good.
I rooted it later, but without the root and everything
Mine was fast! No lag what-so-ever!
Now i don't get why others say their stock is SO LAGGY. I've had more lags on bionix than on stock.
0 fcs
0 lags
0 freezes
NOTHING.
Is this because my phone CAME with 2.2? or... idk.
sigh....
come back after you have it loaded up, lots of cache and you are still on a crap file system... then compare to an optimized, zip-aligned custom rom on EXT4.
Thought you knew better man.
That said, 2.2 is much better than stock 2.1.
no i always thought stock would be laggy because everyone hated it.
I know i can make it faster with EXT4, but i'm talking about stock.
just stock.
I have 98 user apps on it.
It's running pretty well for me, thats all i'm saying. 2.1 was hell.
Lol, just lol.
i haven't tried stock 2.2 but there's 2 applications that i noticed that runs faster on stock 2.1 than any other custom roms on 2.2. That's the stock broswer and gallery.

I dont know why people are hating on the stock builds. Sigh... I have yet to root and put a custom rom in mine. But with HD2 all i had was 2.3 RAM BUILD(out of this seriosly. basically some system apps and resources are stored in the ram the the UI and general apps run super fast, faster than nand.) Compared to that vibrant with 2.2 is pretty good. Not as fast but very smooth....

How did you get stock 2.2 with eugenes kernel? Did you update from Kies and then flash the kernel? Or did eugene make ROM like this?
Eugene's kernel isn't exactly stock... To say a custom rom can't run better than stock is an insult. Nobody is claiming stock 2.2 isn't good. Our phones have great hardware.

Samsung 2.2 runs fine with a different launcher. Depending on usage touchwiz performs like crap, at least in my experience. The main reason I chose to switch to custom roms is because I'd already stopped using all the samsung software I could. I can honestly say I've had a much better experience on Bionix 1.2.1 coming from samsung 2.2

[ROM] 666th Sense V1.1 - Retro (2.1) - 7/17/2011

I've decided to run it Retro for a little bit. This is a 2.1 Sense ROM based on the March 2011 OTA for the HTC Eris. As of right now everything seems to be working very smoothly. The Rom is default O/C at 710400 with on demand governor. Min CPU speed default is at 19200. You can easily change the cpu speeds and governors with setcpu or Conaps CPUBoost. I've also went ahead and changed the kernel to zanfurs kernel by popular request. If you want to use Conaps it can be flashed from recovery. There's also been a ton of other tweals I've added with some help from HaRdC0r3 so a big thanks to him for his input on this.
credits:
zanfur - kernel
btfb0 - all his work catching the OTA and sharing with us
Make sure you perform a nand backup before flashing. Also.. as always, what you do with your device is you're ultimate decision. No one has told you nor forced you to do anything so if anything happens to your device it's no one's fault but your own.
I recommend a full wipe on this update. All updates after this I plan to try and keep as dalvik only.

I'm hoping to have this ready to post later tonight or tomorrow morning before leaving for vacation. I decided to go a little retro on a new ROM for something different since it's been a while and GB and CM7 are getting all the attention lately lol. This ROM is 2.1 Sense and based on the March 2011 OTA. With conaps cfs v9 kernel.

I'm actually pumped to try this. It should be pretty snappy since it being 2.1. Hows it going on it?

I wouldn't mind going back to Sense for some nostalgia, but I'm not sure if its worth dropping GB.
From what you got tested before the phone decided to go parachuting, minus the parachute, how does it compare speed wise compared to GB ROMs?

I honestly didn't think there was much difference in speed. I also had not o/c'd it at all. I was running it at stock which is 528. It can easily be oc'd with conap's CPUBoost or Set CPU as well. But I personally didn't think it was a noticeable difference from GB.
Dude you got a sick sense of development
Welcome to porting...
Ok. I flashed this bad boy last night. It is very smooth and fast. Of course it is 2.1 though. But really to me, when you have a phone like the Eris, trying to put 2.3 on it is pointless. Im liking this Rom. Plain and runs great. I think a black keyboard with white and gray lettering would be awesome. Good job man

Edit: I have found one problem. GAPPS is force closing on me. Every few minutes it will do it.
Edit 2: the market for some reason won't start downloads at all. It was working last night. I have cleared cache and uninstalled updates still nothing
im liking the background lol do i flash gapps still? and will that sense theme work that you made for tazz's rom? or is that a different 2.? thingy lol

Out of curiosity, why do you feel this way?
I have tried many of the 2.3 Roms on my Eris and have always had a great experience with them. 2.1 wasn't bad either. It was the trivial things that made me want to leave 2.1 and try a newer rom.

Well every 2.3 Rom I have tried hasn't been the smoothest. I was just saying that the Eris is getting dated. It is cool though that we are able to put it on if we want to. 2.1 is just so smooth that I find it hard to leave. I like both sense and aosp but if I can find a smooth sense Rom, ill take that any day.

Thanks. I am with you on Sense. I have always enjoyed it. It's what drew me to the HTC offerings when I dumped ATT and my iPhone.
Just 2.1 underneath made a little less enjoyable for me. Not that it wasn't smooth or anything like that but things like when I get a notification while I am listening to music or an audio book. In 2.1, the music or the book keeps playing even though the volume for it is replaced by the notification sound. In 2.3, the same actually pauses plays the notification sound then resumes.
I am enjoying Tazz Ginger Sense.
As you guys may know I was away for a little bit. I'm back and have some other things taken care of and I'll be looking into these problems some of you have posted and working on and update soon...

[Q] Why do people like CM7 better than MIUI?

Minus the bugs in the MIUI rom right now (audio, landscape mirroring) why do people like CM7 better than MIUI? I have backups of both, but keep going back to MIUI because of the look & feel. It feels like one whole picture, rather than a bunch of different pieces of things brought together. To me, it's important that my apps have a singular look & feel.
What are other perspectives, why do you guys like CM7 more than MIUI? I'm just interested in what features people like most in their ROM, because I can't seem to shake sticking to MIUI, including the current bugs, rather than booting up some CM7.

Because it looks like iOS and, god forbid, if I ever wanted an apple product, I'd just buy one.

Personally because I don't like the iOS style...
Fair enough
The look and feel of iOS (and the locked down nature) was why i left apple in the first place. I dont want my phone to resemble that. I've yet to even try MIUI, but sheerly on looks, i never will.
I personally don't like the look of MIUI, I'm not quite sure how to describe it, bubbly? I like CM7 mainly because I just like the stock(ish) android look. Perhaps others feel this way as well.
Miui is the most customizable rom out there. Cm7 is fast but its bare bones and effing ugly. Miui is popular because its reeeally good looking. It looks like apple, but you can make it look like anything you want. So much theme support its stupid .

Don't know if this effects you guys, but though I love MIUI, I very much need 4g, so if it ever gets that or becomes completely open source so that can be added in, it'll be the only rom I use.

I LOVE MIUI!
I can't buy any argument based on "I don't like how it looks." You have far more control over the way your phone looks with MIUI than with CM7 or any other ROM. You can make it look just like CM7 if you want.
My phone is actually faster with MIUI than with CM7 and it's gorgeous. The current build for the Atrix is suffering from some audio problems but I still can't bring myself to flash anything else or even change the background because it's so perfect.
As a recovering flashaholic, that's saying a lot.

Hows battery life for you on alpha 4?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've never noticed a huge battery difference from ROM to ROM, unless I flashed a seriously overclocked kernel with it. So, the battery life is pretty much the same as always, which was never fantastic, but can be extended with certain apps and practices.
Edit: Replied to the wrong thing.
But I don't like MIUI. I tried it on the Desire, I tried it on the Atrix. It just 'feels' wrong, I don't like how stuff is organised and where various toggles have been moved to. Odd, I know - especially since I quite like using iOS (I just loathe Apple and the fragility of the iPhone 4/4S design.)
I personally prefer MIUI over CM7 any day and I used to be a Cyanogen fanboy but then I gave MIUI a try and I couldn't believe how many useful features it had plus it runs very smooth smoother than cyanogen ever did.
I really like MIUI, but I just like stock ics better.
I freaking Love CM7, and CM9 for that matter. Cyanogenmod is just so blazing fast, and looks pretty no matter what you do to it. I dont HATE Miui, but I have some serious ADD, and everything about it kinda bugs me. If we're just talking looks, The amount of customizables is nice, but it never feels quite perfect for me. CM7 and 9 both look minimalistic and pretty to me, and Miui feels like im running across a 4 way highway when Im theming it. Its fast enough to compare to Cyanogenmod for me, but the feel of cm pushes it to the top. But you know, Anything is better than effing Blur.
I have had better experience with CM7 and battery life than MIUI. I personally stick with whatever rom gives me the best battery life.

Theres no phone thats 4G(!), since 4G is WiMax(dl rate bigger than 100mbps in a mobile device), and we only have LTE on our phones.
