[Q] What ROM is best? and which has no bugs? EVERYTHING WRKS?

what ROM has everythinig working ON THE HTC EVO?? AND which one the most awesome one!? SOME SCREEN SHOTS WOULD BE AWESOME.. if you guuys could help me here! I got bored of just trying out different launchers.. wanna go into different ROMS! THANKS!!

Flash them and try them out. I liked running Myn's Z rom for a while to try out the new Sense (which is suwheet), now I'm running Sprint Lovers which has everything working (as you say), with a few extras. For real though, just try them out, worst you can do is waste some time setting up your phone again. But hey, you said you were bored so that shouldnt be a deturbance.

MIUI is the best ROM around, period. It is the perfect balance of style and substance. 4G does not work but it is a fair trade off. We just got gingerbread but it still has a few kinks to be worked out. I recommend flashing one of the latest Froyo builds.

It all depends on what you want.
Sense
AOSP
Miui

Many of the ROMs listed as threads in the Development section have screenshots of them, as appearance is a huge deciding factor for many of us. Take a look around and you'll see!

I'm running Myn's Warm Z right now (which lacks 4G, but eh, I never use it anyway, 3G is more than adequate) and Sense 2.0 is damn sweet. It's gorgeous, responsive, fluid, and just has minor touches here and there that most people really enjoy.

MIKFROYO is a great rom to try,,

I guess I need to try Mik's now... !

Yea ive heard the mikifroyo or something like that righ? Does everything wrkk on that one? Im just looking for something different.. and if i give it a shot at this ROms it will be my first time.. hope everything goes good and not brick my phone ha

Bricking only really happens from radio updates. Remember to back up stock first! Yeah everything works in mikfroyo

I've tried a few Roms, the latest being CM7 and VaelPak. After 2 weeks with those Roms, I went back to Myn. No GPS or voicemail issues, and everything runs smooth. I think Myn Warm Z is the best looking Rom, but the lack of 4G made it a dealbreaker as my daily driver.

Yea.. ive never even done a nandroid.. haha.. but ill follow some instructions and i should be fine.. hopefully.. with the radio updates.. do i have to have a current one for it to wrk on ROMS o no?

You root your phone once, the Rom it self is not rooted. They usually come with tethering and the hotspot fix.

In the OP for Mik's, there is a link to 2 videos. The 2nd one shows how to do a nandroid, wipe properly and flash the ROM.
Very simple

But would i b able to move almost all my apps to sd card still? Hopefully the tether wtls

Whats a big cause of changing to a ROM? Is it more battery life or something? or its just the customization on them?

man when did people get so lazy ? just go t to the dev section and do a little research?

Finally after 1.5 yrs I'm rooted what now?

Wow!!! I finally rooted and upset now that I waited so long. I have had my Evo 1.5 yrs now and still looks brand new now its like a new phone with the root I'm running mikg 3.0 its awesome is there anything else I'm missing out in?

Idk.. ..maybe try out ICS? Most are still in alpha but I think jaredthegreat has his in beta. Worth giving it a shot. I'm running it and have no problems whatsoever besides the reported bugs.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Try some apps that only work on Rooted phones. AdFree Android comes to mind, LBE Privacy Guard as well.
Most definitely check out UOT Kitchen as well ( http://uot.dakra.lt ) I think I have flashed more files I made on UOT then ROMS.

My name is..... well that doesn't matter. All you need to know is that I'm a recovering Flashaholic. It all started innocently enough. First a new phone. Then try one new Rom. Then another, and another. Soon I was Flashing Roms 4,5,6,7 times a day . I knew I had to do something. And quick before I hurt my phone. So I did. I've found a way to tame my needs to constantly Flash Roms, Mods, and Themes. It's not a cure mind you, but it tames the urges. I bought and started repairing phones. Soon enough I had enough parts to build a " tester " . A device to take all the constant Rom, Theme, and Mod Flashing without damaging my Daily device. Like I said it's not a cure. But it helps to keep things in check..... FOR NOW .

Well good god man, don't keep me in suspense . BTW always like your work .

I've been running newSENSE about "sense" it came out. It's been the smoothest of any ROM I've tried so far. Tried ZenMod CM9 for a bit but missed the 4G. Considering flashing the next Supreme once it's released. Looking forward to flashing any of new ones rumored to come up.

You're in denial, the first step is to admit you have a problem... I haven't come up with a second one yet. As my wife says "if you reboot your phone more than once a day you have a problem". I'd say more like 5 but... Well you know women they gotta have your attention, so I said "You have my full attention.. While my phone is rebooting" LOL

So you had times with your evo.

This thread is about the evo 4g and what you guys experienced with it like your favorite roms,kernel,etc..
Most people are leaving sprint because poor data quality but people don't know that sprint is taking them down for better quality faster speeds and possibly 4G LTE in your area.
So all the people who are leaving or just want to share this is the thread for you.
Please fill free to share your favorite:
Kernel,roms,mods,apps,development history, amazing stuff,etc...

i once bricked it after only a week of use, great times with it. first phone with android os, there are bads and goods with evo. great screen, good signal, great custom roms, but battery life sucks, alsi lack of internel space. no rom was my particular favorite.

I once got a day and a half on an MIUI ROM and still had 56% remaining....
And on the classic ROM, I once went 23 hours and managed to have 90% left. Buuuut, I have a new record, I've been on the same ROM for 3 days now. So far so good

As long as I ran MIUI and as much as I love the ICS ROMs and can't go back, the best ROM ever was Koni Elite Series III with NetArchy-Toast 4.3.2 SBC Havs More Kernel.
EVERYTHING worked. Everything.
Battery life was unreal. I once tested to see how long I could go without a recharge and posted screen shots of 63 hours before I died.
Mason kernels are great, but the Netarchy kernels were incredible on battery life. I've never come close to that on any GB or ICS ROM.
BTW, most people are not leaving Sprint

Oh my I do miss my HTC EVO 4G. I got my first one on January 1st 2011. I drove to my nearest Sprint store hungover to all hell and being able to play with it was probably the only thing that made the hangover better.
Hmm let's see my EVO stats:
Favorite old-school hack:
*I got S-Off using UnrEVOked before it was Revolutionary
Best firmware:
*My best ROM/kernel combo was MikFroYo 4.61 using Netarchy 4.3.4 sbc-cfs-havs-more. I got 34 hours of battery life out of it.
PIcs or it didn't happen right? here's the pic
Favorite Memory:
*I hung out in the #htc-evo-4g channel on freenode for like 18 hours a day. I remember getting to test Myn's Synergy ROM before it was actually released.
Funniest moment:
I was dating someone at the time who was trying to break up with me, but I was flashing a ROM so she wasn't able to get a hold of me. So, she waited another month to do it. I got to bang her several more times before she finally pulled the trigger (she didn't have the guts to do it in person). So, flashing a ROM has actually gotten me laid. I'm with a much better woman now though
Worst moment:
I sold my EVO to Best Buy for $170 in order to purchase the Epic Touch on release day. I should've waited and kept the EVO 4G, I miss it. The great thing is I didn't bother to unhack it first, so when the Best Buy rep saw my custom splash screen, boot animation and that I was running a non-Sense ROM, he didn't ask any questions.
Dumbest moment:
I flashed a kernel that was from a different base than the ROM I was running and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why my camera wouldn't work.
Greatest moment:
I had that phone for 11 months before I traded it in, more than twice the time I've spent owning any other Android phone. RIP lil buddy!

Need some quick guidance.

Guys im sure as hell no newbie to rooting my own personal phones , but tomorrow my sister is visiting me from Florida with her new Evo on a fresh sprint 2 year contact (yeah dont ask) but anyways she wants to root her phone to tether on WiMAX. Could you guys guide me to the right links on rooting her phone and tell me which rom will be a kick ass rom for her. Most likely that will be the ROM she'll stay with for the rest of her contract.
Searching old thread isn't my thing. I rather suscribe to my own thread.
Also is the rooting process hard? My EVO 3d was a pain in the ass.

It all depends on the software. If its on 2.2 froyo you would use unrevoked. If its on GB 2.3.3 you would use revolutionary.io and if its GB 2.3.5 you have to use HTC dev unlock. I recommend that you put tommytomatoes classic rom on her phone. Its 100% stable and fully working and has great community support

+2 on tommy's rom. Is under the new evo 4g original development section. As far as rooting go is pretty straight forward, just find out which android version she is running ( which might be 2.3.5 ), and go from there.

Depends on preference, Tommy's rom's great. but have some variants for her. also may just show her some rom's she'll most likely want gb for stability and best performance. also HTC Sense rom's lagg a bit in my opinion AOSP seems to lag less for me and run more in a operational fashion.
edit install rom manager on her device and keep her stock rooted tell her she can change the software via that app. screen shot's info and downloads all in one nice little user friendly app.

Thanks for the great info guys. I'll be working on her phone tonight.
Just to make sure, with these roms, she still be able to use the HDMI out on the phone?

Once you get rooted, read my guide in my signature. It'll tell you everything you need to know about what to do next
