Rom recommendations.. - EVO 4G General

I visit about one every two months or so and don't keep up with what roms are available.
What's on the market right now?

Don't mean to sound rude, but why don't you just peak into the development section?
No need to start a whole new thread for your question when its obvious what ROMs are around by just looking over there.

I could and have looked in the the development section but I would rather get some suggestions from the XDA community.

I personally prefer mik's ROMs.
Some are posted here (mikg) but I get them from themikmik.com
I also enjoyed miui, it's a different flavor of ROM. Miui gets updated every Friday, but I found a stable version and stuck with it for weeks.
Of course there are your stock builds and ports, and the classic aosp ROMs.
I'm sure everyone has their favorites.
I've been running mik3d for months. Its sense 3.0. Its pretty awesome.
Good luck in your search.

MIUI nuff said

MIUI. has scrollable Widgets now, best battery life of any rom I have tried and is awesome with V6, 3G and kickasskernelizer tweaks.

Currently using FEARMEde Bliss Hybrid sense3.5... it still has its quirks but love the look and feel. MIUI is great too... if you like the iPhone usability and feel MIUI is the way to go. My son loves it!

Depends what you want...
I love Deck for AOSP. built on CM7 with all the extras removed. Very minimalist and with savage zen's BFS kernel sickly battery life. I personally got my Evo to about 36 hours on medium use.
For sense there's a few ways to go. I personally have found that the sense 3.x ROMs are very sluggish irrelevant of the setup (God mode and whatnot). If you want a semi-sense 3.x feel though you could try Salvage-mod-sense RC1 which is built on Barnacles speedy port of sense 2.1. The dev added in the 3.0 lock screen, and camera app but for the most part its stock 2.1. It's stable and just as fast as the ROMs built off of the OTA Gingerbread updates for the Evo.
There's also the last mentioned ROMs based of the OTA update. I personally loved Swagged out stock, and Smooth and sexy Gingerbread.
A lot of people will say stay away from sense for the battery life alone, but I've noticed with the Freedom agressive kernel or Chop Suey 9.1 SBC I get battery life that's on par with CM7. Not as good as Savage zen, but a good 12-20 hours depending on usage.
Hope this helps.

I've had the best luck with MikG for sense roms, and I've tried them all lately. It also gets updated frequently.
MIUI is great, but I have found it to be annoyingly buggy. I would go with the previous commenters route and stick with one version that works instead of going for the weekly updates (unless they add 4G!).
Another ASOP option is the Nocturnal Xplod rom thats in the earlier stages of development, but still runs really well with some nice animations. If it's been a couple months and you want something different I would try this.

Try this one!

Loving the stability of SOS swag - on, great for everyday use

I have 5 running on my phone now, phone rom and 4 roms that run off sd card within Boot Manager. I can switch to any one of the 5 with a simple reboot. Of the 5 listed in my sig below I am using Evervolv the most, then HighVoltage and then Synergy. OMFGB and SalvageMod are stable and quick but I like to listen to podcasts and music via my Plantronics bluetooth device and a2dp also

resurrecting this thread, what plantronics headset do you use, i cant listen to my music throught it (plantronics explorer 240) and am trying to find a way to be able to do so.

Tbh I Prefer Cyanogenmod 7.1 and Synergy they are fast and are pretty stable with working 4G.

I love all of swag's roms (SOS X 2.09 currently). Another good sense rom is Nitrousv1.4.4.
My favorite AOSP is deck's GB. Love the battery life and stability, never have had any issues.

In search of fast sense Rom

I'm lookin for a good, stable, overclockable, fast sense based Rom, any suggestions? Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
RE:OP
The word stable is a complicated word, Is the original stock rom on eve stable, No, Myns two point two may be your best shot.
Overclocking has to be bought(no rom will carry that) from the market,
Try:SetCPU (very reliable, updated alot
AOSP roms are the fastest due to it strictly google(no sense), because sense slows it down.
I am happy with htclovers..

Don't be so lazy. Just read feedback on ROMs.
But I use Myn's warm
For sense roms, there are many that you can choose from.
The top three most popular in no order would be: MikFroyo, Myn, and Calkulin's sense based roms.
They vary to some degree depending on what you like.
Myn's tends to be highly themed, while Mik is more optimized. Calk would have to be in between I guess.
Just my opinion.
You will have to check them all out (not just the ones I've listed) to see which is best for you. We can only give you recommendations since we are not who you are.
It may work for some and not you.
Trial and error.

I liked mikfroyo with netarchy SBC havs aggressive kernel. But I needed my wii remote so I've become sensless

Fastest would be Mikfroyo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've tried mikfroyo and koni's elite. I'm more partial to koni's because of the theming. It boils down to personal preference of course but the cool thing about already being rooted is that flashing roms is so easy now that you can just about try them all to find out which one best suits you. I'm beta testing koni's elite series II that i just flashed this morning and so far everything is both fast and smooth.
Warm RLS5 is an "older" ROM (if January is old), so you'll have to perform some tweaks yourself (like SD card speed). Almost every aspect of Sense has been "warmed".
MikFroYo 4.5 is quicker (IMHO). Has the latest speed tweaks cooked in (heap size, SD, etc). Similar to Warm, Sense is heavily themed. For whatever reason, this ROM isn't the most stable on my phone.
Azrael X 4.0 is also quick, but very stable as well. Sense is lightly themed compared to the ROMs above. I keep coming back to this ROM due to its stability with my setup.
If you go with any of the 3 above, you'll need to flash a kernel that allows overclocking. I run netarchy, but it'll be trial and error to find the one that works for you. Check out the development section and read about the different ROMs and Kernels. Good luck.
Babiboi manila carbon fiber or mikfroyo...you can't go wrong with either one.both are fast,stable and smooth as butter.
Myn's Warm Two Point Two is amazing and beautiful. Just apply the SD Card Tweak to make it read faster from SD card and watch it fly. If you prefer a fast but relatively stock Sense ROM, minus the bloat, I recommend Sprint Lover's.
I bounce back and forth between these roms..
Mik,Cal,Azrael and CM..
Currently im using Zone's Mik 4.5 Pure version and im loving it.
There is NO best rom, only the one that suits your needs and visual liking. Most of the popular ones are stable for everyday use. (at least for my usage)
I also use ADW EX as my launcher and things seem to be much more snappier.

I am currently using koni's elite 1...works great.....looks great....very fast......
Beta testing Elite 2......even faster....looks great.....will probably stick with koni's roms.
But you can't go wrong with myns rls5.......used it since it came out.....but koni's is a bit faster and themed to my liking......tough choice but you can't go wrong with koni's elite or myns rls5...try them both...that is what this hobby is all about...lol

I've tried a few, but I like MikFroyo 4.5's speed, but I'm not crazy about the look. I am really liking EvoKings Ultimate FroYo right now...it's built off MikFroyo so it's plenty quick, but the theming is better. I want to try Koni's probably at some point, but it looks awfully similar to EvoKings. I haven't had any issues with any of them.
aamikam- mikfroyo (V4.5) ROMS has taking optimizing sense based ROMS to another level read up on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11190976&posted=1#post11190976
many other mod/themers base their roms off MIKS stock ROM. ...koni, kings, avafroyo, babiboy, dark cocoa to name a few. find the right kernel/rom combo they are all over-clockable.
MIK's rom has a lot of mods you can add if you like that with aps2sd a net kernel. i dont even over-clock and that thing flies also stellar battery life. all depends on what you are looking to use or have in a rom.
I like Sprint lovers...it is my go back to rom....
I'm surprised no one mentioned King's Ultra. It's been just about perfect, and the theming is beautiful, akin to Koni's. I loved Koni's Elite 1, but I had terrrible battery life with it, using several different kernels.
Actually, my battery life pretty much sucks with every set up.
As soon as there's a HTC People mod for CM7, if there ever is, I'm probably gonna go that route.
i disagree that sense slows down the phone. that may be true of benchmarks, but not my real world use. the only non sense rom that i liked was MIUI. I use Warm 2.2, mikfroyo blows in my opinion.

Great rom!

[NOOB "guidance" from FREQUENT FLASHERS]¤*Best ROM* ¤

Firstly, I want to say that I am doing this just to get everyone's own personal view on which EVO ROM is the best. Before I get all kinds of hateful posts just hear me out. I want to know what you think from your own personal point of view and why you think it's the best. For those who switch ROMs daily, post and tell some pros and cons of each maybe. Tell me why you like it, what you like about it, which of your needs it meets, which it doesn't. And so on!!! I think this could be a good thread for the noobs to learn different things about different kinds of ROMs and what the different ones have to offer. Thank you XDA community!!!!!
Edit: "Frequent flaher" I like that term and I'm sure it applies to a lot of people posting in this thread.
Destroyer is awesome. Very fast and awesome theming. VaelPak is also really good b/c it's so unique and customizable. IMHO, if you're new to flashing, you need to try, CM or variant of, Miui, VaelPak, and a Z ROM (MikZ or Warm Z).
For sense ROMs, Unleashed is really good. Very fast/smooth and awesome theme options. Best sense ROM IMHO. MikFroyo is also very fast. I can get good battery life out of almost any ROM, but EViO 2 stands out in that area.
ive flashed alot of sense and about all of the gingerbread roms. the gingerbreads are fast, but too high maintenance for me. sure some will say that its stable for them but 8 out of 10 in the cm threads are trying to work out bugs.
theres also a lot of fast and fully functional sense roms highly themed. depends on what the end user whants out of their rom, functionality, look, batt, etc..
i like a bare bones stock sleek looking optimized preferably lightly themed rom. thats why im currently running Miks 4.6b2 ODEXED themed by Chogardjr. i removed all of the useless stuff, its faast, rock solid stable, great battery life and everything works. IMHO!
I have used almost every setup there is, and most are pretty good, except they all have an issue or 2 that makes me feel incomplete when it comes to my phone.
Sense Roms: King's Ultra Froyo and Ultra Froyo 2, Koni's Elite 1 and Elite 2. ALL of those are pretty equal. Very fast, smooth, beautiful looking, but no matter what kernel I tried, battery life was garbage. One thing about my phone is I tried almost every NetArchy Kernel there is, I bet, and never got a good battery on a Sense ROM.
Miui: I can see why people like it, but I just don't like having all my apps on the desktop and switching to LPP takes away part of the allure of havng Miui. The theme changer wouldn't install any of the themes I downloaded. Plus, I had issues with screen flicker, but I understand I did the update wrong, so that may be where that came from. Also, I spent over an hour alphabetizing my apps... damn OCD!
CM7: By FAR the best battery life, with the kernel I use, SavagedZen 009, but the GPS navigation thing is an issue. I take my phone off the charger at 6AM, and by 11PM, after moderate to heavy use, I'm never below 50%. Still, I want those Sense Widgets. LPP has them, but in People, for instance, you don't get the user pics from Facebook, and all the entries are just the stock Android image. One other thing on CM7, that is intolerable, is that it takes a coon's age to copy anything to my SDCard. I did a back up, and reformat the other night and it took an hour and a half to copy my music back (just under a gig), for example
Right now, I'm running Destroyer, and the battery isn't as good as with nightly 14, but it's pretty good. BEtter than with any of the others I've tried. And whatever issues people have with this, I'm not having them. Everything is working good. Very fast, too.
For me, the best, most complete ROM there is, is VaelPak 3.2. It has everything you want. Almost like all the different Mods were combined to make one insane ROM. More custumization options than CM/Sense and MiUi put together, puls packs of goodies that come with the ROM installed on the SDCard. I can't remember why I took it off now, but I think it was the battery life, again, was horrible. Dropped 15% in less than 2 hours with the stock kernel. Although, I didn't keep it on long enough to really test other kernels with it, and there are a few that people using it say give them fanatastic battery life.
I love my CM7 nightlies. Nuff said!!!!!! <3

still waiting for the best...
i like warm z.. but it dont have hdmi and 4G. ffc can be worked around.
what dont you give your thoughts???
Well I just started flashing ROMs about 9 months ago and started a basically sense roms. I didn't really like them bc of limited customization and they were a little slow and battery was horrible. From there I stuck with an AOSP rom for about the past 6 months until a few weeks ago and read up a little on MIUI and tried that out for a whole 6 hours and hated it. I couldn't stand all my apps on the screen and no drawer. Really got on my nerves. Then tried out that Unleashed and was happy with that for about a week til I really started doing some reading up on CM and decided to try it out, loved it and everything about it. So now I'm a supporter of them, but am super stoked to try out this new SZ ROM. Think that might be the new rom of choice for me.
Edit: That good Dan?

^^^ that will work...
Not sure why anyone hasn't said this yet but Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 is the best in my opinion. Might not have been updated in a while, but in my experience is the fastest Sense rom with lots of eye candy while still looking sleek/professional without going overboard, the best battery life (16 hours heavy use 30 with light use/good signal), and everything works. I know that AOSP roms have wimax now but gps has been hit and miss with every one of them (for gingerbread at least, I don't care for any 2.2 AOSP roms). Navigation definitely did not work.
I loved Evervolv and Savage but again, not everything works the way it should. Myn's is just the best daily driver. Battery life is phenomenal, I haven't been able to get more than 16-20 hours out of an aosp rom.
IMO (never h):
All the Sense ROMs are the same. They are just the same stock ROM with some heavy theming and maybe a custom tweak here and there ... but IMO if you're going to flash sense you're better off just checking the themes section and getting the look you want... because that's what they are.
Also keep in mind that Sense is likely a dead end as it is. I have doubts 2.3 will ever land on EVO .from HTC/Sprint... meaning it will never come to fruition in any Sense ROM. So it's a dead-end thing to support anyway.
AOSP is a different story. These are truly custom, already ahead of Sense if you're a version buff (2.3.3) and tend to run faster, smoother, and with A LOT less bloat. That said they aren't all flowers and rainbows either. Because they are actually scratch written they tend to not be feature complete (though team WIN is quickly changing that) so make sure you know what feature is missing and if that's a big deal to you.
That said, CM is the AOSP leader. It has the dev support, and most AOSP ROMs you'll notice are based on CM because they are nice enough to release under GPL rather than the default Apache agreement most others use. I like it for what it is, and it's the "best" if you like vanilla Android and want to follow what Google is doing with thier OS.
The other "best" IMO MIUI. It's behind CM in terms of the latest Android base (though GB is finally in the works), and it's closed source so it is missing things available in other AOSP ROMS ... but what it does bring to the table is amazing. It's better in battery, faster, the built in apps are worth paying for if they ever make it to market ... its an amazing ROM.
I secretly have wet dreams of MIUI and CM having an Android love child and bringing me my dream ROM ... until then I flip back and forth between the two.
I'm running a special rom called "dirk diggler rom" and if you want to use it deposit 500 bucks in my PayPal . P.S its better than any rom YOU will ever run on your evo lol.

The answer depends on your needs. For instance, I don't like the look of Sense but I also need 4G, GPS, Bluetooth and Camera working everyday. That limits me to a Sense based rom until CM7 stabilizes those things. For now, I'm getting by pretty well with Nonsense. It's not been updated recently and has minor flaws but the important things work for me everyday.
No one ROM does everything well. It's all about trade-offs. When you know your own needs, the filtering the choices should be a lot easier.

Best Stock Ginger ROm(rooted) your ideas

So yes this is my idea. I would like to get a colelctive together. Since it is hard to go through hundreds of pages. Trust me I ahve been reading like crazy and trying to find a good one. Well trying to find one that ha the potential to mature very well. :}
But for now what roms are you using? Any good/bad things to say about it?
There is the rom wiki that the devs should update, but don't really too much anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Now is this Gingerbread roms in general?
Ya know hell yea why not in general. not many stock rooted roms. When i say Stock rooted I am talkign about stock basee but with enhancements.
But any rom in general would be good. I am trying to get a feel for whats out there and dont have the time to flash a bunch of roms.
Right now, you have to think about what you want, exactly, because you have choices, so I'll try to outline some of the pluses and minuses.
AOSP. This would be CM7, and ROM's developed off of this build, ie, Destroyer, SalvageMod and Savaged-Zen for example.
The pluses, highly customizable, you can get excellent battery life with the custom AOSP Kernels, and pretty much everything works, and there are a lot of options for setting up your preferences.
The downside, well, not much of one, other than the Base ROM is pretty ugly, Flat looking, so if you like the polish of Sense, it's not here, but there ARE some good themes.
MIUI MIUI is kind've like having an Iphone, in how's user interface is setup, A LOT of customization options, good battery life and a great DEV community. Some things don't work though, like 4G and HDMI, is I remember correctly. To me, MIUI is like setting up Linux after having run Windows for many years.
The thing I don't like, is all the apps on the desktops. There are a ton of Youtube videos that you can use to see how it looks and works.
Froyo Based ROMS, are great because everything works, they're usually themed well and there are endless mods to customize how your setup looks, etc. You can get awesome battery life with the right kernel. Nice, stable, solid, good looking. I recommend Koni Elite III as I used that as a daily driver for a long time.
GB 2.3.3 ROMS. These are the newest ROMS there are, and are based off of the Evo Shift which has Sense UI 2.1, while the Evo is stuck with 1.0, so you have a lot of updated Sense Apps. A lot of 3.0 Apps are being ported to these ROMS. And there are some GREAT ones. MikG is very stable. Synergy, same thing, and everything seems to work well, although different phones react differently. Evoking's Alliance ROM is based on MikG but has some sweet themeing work dome to it and the carousel style Rosie works. There are a few others, so you'd have to read up on them.
The down side, well, for one, no custom kernel exists, because the source code for the stock kernel has not been released yet, so battery life is pretty tame. Also, there is no HDMI out and like I Said, some phones thrive with these setups and some are just not working out well, but I run a GB 2.3.3 ROM, because they are cutting edge and all the biggest names are working on them, creating some real nice work. So it can only get better.
hope this helps, man.
Kings Roms are by far my favorite after having many by different devs. heres the link.. its an amazing rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120734
I ran a few GB based roms before settling on MikG 2.15 and I find Mik's to be the best one yet.
dc13's TiX GB ROM is nice too. Very stock feel, but optimised. I still run his ROMs on my Moment and my son's Transform with great success. Battery life on those phones are amazing, getting 40+ hours out of a charge.
I use MIUI as my daily driver even though I live in a 4G area. Lots of features and add ons that are not found elsewhere. Good feel but a bit quirky at times.
Of the Sense.GB roms I've flashed, I liked MikG, Synergy and dc13's. All are very well done
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.6.17
+ 1 on kings Rom....7.4t....best and smoothest out there.
Oh cool, 7.4 is out? I'll have to check it out.
I'm running MikG v2.2 and really like it. The only complaint I have is that the Google Talk video chat feature is sideways. This is a feature I was looking forward to so the fact that it's bork is kind of a bummer to me but if you don't care about that it's a great ROM.
I am just waiting on some more updates and see who I will go with lol. See who becomes the most stable in two weeks time etc.

[Q] What's your daily driver?

Relatively new to the G2, and I'm looking for a daily driver without having to experiment with 10 roms that all have one deal-breaking bug.
I like sense, which is good because it looks like pretty much all of the recent roms are sense or miui. I really wanted to have a sense 3.0/3.5 with 3d widgets, but it doesn't look like there are any stable, fast roms in this department.
So what's your go-to rom? I probably will start experimenting with all the newer roms anyway, but I want to get set up with a stable fallback first.
Thanks
As far as an AOSP ROM goes, I believe that meXdroidMod is hands down the fastest thing I've ever installed and it also has great developer support too. Here recently I've been all about MIUI so right now I'm running tun4fish's Bulletproof Miui. I'm in love with the speed and stability of this rom and the amount of customization you can do with it.
All in all it all boils down to personal preference. I like flashy, customizable roms so those two fit me. Play around and see what's right for you
Sent from my Bulletproof G2
I switch between CM7 and Beatmod Blissense. I prefer a more pure android, but I do like the UI and widgets in Beatmod.
Been running Bulletproof MIUI the last couple weeks. Solid daily driver with all the features I need and no issues.
When I get bored, I switch back/forth between CM7 and MIUI.
Been a meXdroidMod convert for awhile now. Really really fast and everythings smooth! Developer support is awesome too!
I started out with trying Virtuous Unity and Virtuous Doubleshot but found the Sense 3.0 ROMs were to slow for my DZ.
Settled for Virtuous Sense for the time being which is perfect for me. Also tried out Bulletproof MIUI just to try something completely different but that was definitely not for me so I returned to Virtuous Sense.

Relatively new to the G2, and I'm looking for a daily driver without having to experiment with 10 roms that all have one deal-breaking bug.
I like sense, which is good because it looks like pretty much all of the recent roms are sense or miui. I really wanted to have a sense 3.0/3.5 with 3d widgets, but it doesn't look like there are any stable, fast roms in this department.
So what's your go-to rom? I probably will start experimenting with all the newer roms anyway, but I want to get set up with a stable fallback first.
Thanks

Virtuos Sense 2.0.0 for me. Stable, fast, no unexpected suprises.
I find any of the sense roms are too slow. On bulletproof miui currently and it blazes. CM7 is also quick and a joy to use.

I gotta go with cm7 nightlies here. Cm blazes on this phone at 1.5ghz. Check out the gps thread in development if you have issues with gps and your radio.

I've been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC-1 for 1027:53:15 hours. That's over a month without having to restart. Plus I have it overclocked to 1.5 Ghz with Pershoot's kernal. I've never had this kind of stability before. But unfortunately I will have to reboot to install the the final build of Cyanogenmod 7.1.
Been running stock rooted GB and recently tried g-lite but it was crashing my phone. Went back to Stock rooted, runs great and reliable
My daily driver is a honda crx haha =)

MIUI would be my daily driver. Speedy while still looking absolutely beautiful. Either of the builds by CarpeNoctem or Tuna4fish would serve you well
lots of love for MIUI here
as much as I like it too the OP said he likes Sense, so for me after trying absolutely every ROM with Sense, i like the InsertCoin. It has the battery and speed of your 2.1 Sense ROM but all the cool features of Sense 3.
I'd like to stress on the battery life - it's absolutely fantastic on InsertCoin.

As far as MIUI goes, I prefer Tun4fish's build (Bulletproof MIUI). Its updated weekly with the MIUI.US release, and has a great kernel and memory management tweaks. Super reliable.

It doesn't have any memory problems, common for Sense 3 ROMs?
Try using ILWT CM7
Its a rom thas is based on the latest major nightly build and it has the virtuos oc daemon
Its pretty fast and the battery is awespme!

I agree with this statement 100%. Absolutely the best and my favorite ROM out right now.
I'm currently on CM7 nightlies. CM7 is by far the fastest ROM I've used, and it just gets faster when you overclock it. If I get bored, I'll use tun4fish's Bulletproof MIUI for a change of pace.
My daily driver is IC 2.1+3.0 and its awesome on the Desire Z.

Need advice, can't find a good ROM

Hello everyone, for a little while I've been trying to find an ideal ROM for daily use, nothing fancy but something that meets my needs;
Most of all I need it to send/receive calls reliably and have decent battery life. I don't quite want something really flashy though eye candy makes the phone feel new & updated but functionality is more important to me. Here's a quick list of thing that I NEED working:
-Ability to disable data roaming (rules out express)
-4G (rules out all MIUI)
-Smooth video camera 720p without being choppy (rules out synergy)
-No random bugs ie, lock screen, weather, clocks (just the basics)
If you have tried or know of any currently available ROMs that fit this criteria please point me in the right direction, I'm so tired of flashing all these different ROMS only to find out that one of the things listed was not mentioned under the ROM description where I downloaded it, I know most of them claim to be bug-free but there is no such thing as bug free ROM unless I go back to stock, and I understand that so I'm not looking for the holy grail, just something that works for what I need it to do.
phone is rooted & running amon-ra recovery
Thanks in advance

Gruesomewolf has a pretty nice rom out
you guys are awesome I'm going to try all these suggestions, deck is very fast and stable (so far) but a bit too simple and lacks eye candy, I feel like it'll be the ROM I fall back to if the others fail for me in any way
by the way, if it's not too much trouble do you guys have links? I searched for these roms but there are several with similar names!

Deck is what I used and had installed on my EVO when I sold it, just saw this thread as I was coming to say goodbye to the EVO community.

Never liked sense roms, too much junk, deck is nice and basic. Allows for easier customization.

MikG is awesome
I to have been using gummy ics rom, and no problems so far but the ones in the op, great from give it a run.

for the longest time i was running the newest and best version of KINGS ROM. i always thought his roms were amazing. ran them for MONTHS. back in oct i changed to evo deck and honestly i will NEVER go to another rom. the advanced CPU options and amazing smoothness of the rom makes it THE BEST, PERIOD
Best I know Rom

I think the most stable Rom out is MikG v3.1 It's a sense 2.1 3.0 Rom with a Ton of themes and mods that can be mixed to suit your style. Because of the hardware we have on the EVO there's only so much you can get out of it. Anything above 3.0 doesn't play nice with our phones. I've tested and read about every Rom out there and MikG v3.1 running Anthrax kernel with v6 Superscript & 3G turbo is the best.
my sense load is mikg 3.XX and my aosp load is aokp m4. both worked flawlessly.
wow I am blown away by Tomatoe's express
tons of space left after flash & installing all my apps also fast & smooth.
Reset the battery & unplugged it yesterday morning and now it's been over 24 hours since I last charged it, talked for at least an hour, sent & received some texts, had wifi on the entire time, as mentioned I've been downloading stuff off the market & even played pandora for at least half an hour and right now the battery still has 38% left, I wanted to test all the other ROMs mentioned but I find it hard getting out of this comfort spot I find myself in now that I have everything set up the way I like it

I may be wrong since I'm starting to forget what I have & have not tried yet but have you had trouble with video cam at 720p? again I could be wrong but I wanna say that I experienced choppy recording from mikG, I like sense 3.0 most when it comes to look & feel so I might give it a try....
I'm still very amazed by tomatoe's express, my excitement will wear off in a day or two I am sure haha
on a side note, I may have found a problem with express (or my google voice!!)
I have over 50% reception in my home, and since last night I've seen 2 missed calls on my google voice inbox but the phone never rang, could this be the ROM or Google?
