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.

Just switched to EVO from from nexus s, what next?

I am fine with the rooting and all that, what Rom should I go with sense 3.0 wise if any thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

If you must have sense 3.0, try flashing the evolvedrom r3chargeD... I'm running it and its great, however I am also seeing a lot of people that like the new king ROM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Do you want it themed or not?
Synergy and MikG are both Sense 2.1 + 3.0. They are probably a couple of the most popular ROMs, if not the most. Quite personally, I like MikG more than Synergy. Feels faster to me, and I've been a big Mik user since I started with my Evo.
Right now I am running EVOlvedROM r3chargeD, which is based on Mik3D, which is based on the HTC Evo 3D. So it is full Sense 3.0, themed and I love it.
Kernel, I use Lithid's Freedom kernel. Aggressive-Freedom Universal.

Partition your SD card to offload some weight from the phone itself: DELETES EVERYTHING OFF OF THE CARD SO BACK IT UP.

As far as themed I like the look of stock sense and i'll check those out. how fast is that kernel and what is the safest oc? (i only have my phone till I get home) thanks

Overclock depends on the phone. Some are more picky than others. Personally, I underclock because my phone still flies and it saves me some battery life.
Links:
MikG
Mik3D
Link to kernel in my signature.
Max safe overclock... the highest shown in SetCPU is 1228800. I overclock while charging (only time I ever do) and usually I put it at 1113600

I have an Evo and a Nexus S on Boost and I love the ASOP roms...I have CM7 and love it on my Evo...just my opinion..

Thanks I'm going to try the mike 3d first. It looks like there are a lot of different options for rooting revoked ect. What do you suggest? And I switched from the nexus s so I could have sense not dissing cm I just love sense and htc.

If your phone has Gingerbread on it, then you will have to root with Revolutionary. Look in development for that

Stable ROM

What's the most stable ROM I can use for my Incredible, I am running nils buisness 2.2 but it isn't working out for me, can you provide a link for a stable ROM, preferrably sense 3.0 thanks
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

There is another thread about 12 posts down with the same exact name. Most likely if 2.1 isnt workimg for you, neithrr will 3.0
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

The one that has worked best for me is the Community Rom. I wish it came with the old lock screen as an option though. Thats my only prob with it.. other than that, it's been the most stable of all that i've tried!

The most stable ROM is FROYO stock. But that's probably not what you were looking for.
-xdadevelopers-user

Nils 3.0 v2.2 (or 2.1 or whatever version I'm on) is working extremely well for me, I think the bigger question is what about it isn't working for you?

The most stable rom you can use is decks aosp which is built to 2.3.5
No froyo space issues...or lag from the newer sense ports.

You haven't tried the new desire HD 3.0 roms. There is absolutely zero lag and it honestly runs almost as good as the OTA.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!

I actually have tried newts new one. I had phantom call issues.
I am not sure how you would know what Roms I have tried.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes I agree I found a great Rom which is ace revolution 3d, I havnt tried the other devs version of their desire port, but if you have flashed all the diff devs ports, id like to know which is your favorite, I'm just not dissappointed at all with ace rev 3d ROM

Stable rom
[ROM][MikRoms] Desired Inc HD 3D Vthree [Updated:16Sep2011]
This is the most stable ROM I've found so far.

I'm a big fan of Jermaine's I'm a big fan of Jermaine's In-Sensitive Minimalist ROM. It has by far been the most stable ROM I have used. If you're looking for Sense 3.0 he has a Dee-Zire ROM that is AOSP/Sense 3.0.
I haven't personally tried it, but if it's anything like his other work I'm sure it's top notch.

Well a suggestion for sense 3.0 is kingdom stock ginger sense 3.0 it was last updated in June but I've ran it and it's a nice rom though if everything force closes do a factory reset

Desire HD vfive
Try that one is most stable by wildstang
the video recording is choppy for now though but is stable and is sense 3.0

I'm running McSense and everything is stable and fast, but it seems to be taking longer to charge the phone.
No complaints other than that!

For the most stability I'd recommend something close to the stock GB that was recently released, with some enhancements. Two ROMs that stick out in my mind are jermaine's stock+ and mcd's mcsense. Both devs have senseless versions as well which are just as stable.

+1 Jermaine has the most stable ROMs as they are the closest to stock. I personally drive IM 2.3.1 and love it. He stopped his Sense 3.0 ROM in beta for not living up to his standards. You can trust his development to be 100% stable.

I'm running the 666th Sense ROM and loving it. It's the stock framework with some awesomely twisted tweaks, and with tiny's kernel the battery is running better than ever. I've lurked here for forever and have learned a lot - figured I'd throw in my $.02 for whatever it's worth.
Good luck in finding something you love.

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.

Gotta say MikG too. I've been using the sense-less version with good luck so far, 2 days off one charge sitting at 40% left with limited use (just texts, a few photos, a few minutes of wind-up knight, mix of WIFI/3G, etc...)

I like Team Nocturnal's Xplod1.3 withTiamat 3.37 kernel, very smooth AOSP

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!!!

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?

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.
