(Q) what is the best rom to go with?

I'm on the quantum rom and i like it. but it seems like my battery is suckish. what is the best rom do you guys have in mind.

i gotta say the only thing holding me backfrom upgrading to DK28 is the lack of 4g tethering, im using syndicate rom 1.0.2 with setcpu installed and i can 4g tether (usb) and i get all day battery life (unless of course im watchin a movie or downloading on 4g). syndicate is DI18 based.

Currently, all the dk28 roms are varients on the same flavor (a theme or boot animation here, a custom script there).
[Edit] - damn cough made me hit submit :-|
You really won't see great differences in performance until the kernels are modified for oc/uv, and that won't really commence till the official release.

Tested out both releases of Quantum and latest two Bonsai for 2.2/DK28, and was on Andromeda Galaxy for 2.1/DI18.
I too felt my battery was suckish on Quantum. Liked Andromeda for battery life the most, Quantum has been most stable. However, I have now settled on Nebula Rom 1.0.5 as (IMO) it has the best features of all three sweet roms mentioned.

so when will we be seeing gingerbread

Knowing Samsung, not for a while. Since the nexus s is pretty much the same as a Galaxy S, however, there may be luck of an update or porting of Gingerbread to our Epics around...March, is my guess.
For the best rom...it's very difficult to say. They're all pretty simple with the DK28 variants. I prefer the Nebula Rom, but there are a lot of other styles.
If you liked the old 2.1 style, try out the SyndicateRom.
Hope this helps!

I'm using Vipers DK28 and can USB tether with 4G just fine using PDANET. DL it from the market and try it out.

Dont even upgrade to any froyo roms.I had Syndicate on my phone for almost two months and it was the fastest rom then I decided to swith to froyo DK28 and tried all the froyo roms and I gotta say it wasnt worth it,Syndicate rom murders any froyo rom available right now.
But if you still wanna jump to 2.2 then Mammon's Bonsai 1.0.4 is the fastest but is nowhere near Syndicate,you will notice lag especially when browsing internet,and rom will keep geting slower and slower after a week or two.
Bottom line:Use Syndicate until better froyo updates come out.

[Q] New MyTouch 4g Rom Question

I Just got a new Mytouch 4G Black after my nexus one broke and After Rooting the phone and playing around with some roms. I find it a lil odd that I still find the Stock Rom with Bloatware much better and cleaner rom than whats out there. Seems its fast its useful and entertaining to work with.
Has anyone else felt that way about the stock rom being superior to custom roms?

yes I do somewhat like the stock rom that was shipped. Only issue for me is I can use majority of the apps on there since Im not with tmobile. It is fairly fast and overall good performance. Ice glacier is basically same and then CM7 is nice as well. Not too many roms out there currently with the mytouch, missed the nexus one somewhat for roms. Other than that this phone is great, battery life typically two days with cm7

Agreed... A rooted Stock ROM is already great as is, and so far the only customized ROM I've been happy with is Iced Glacier, Its coz its pretty much stock without the bloatware. I remember the days of the Nexus One where I had to flash ROM's 2-3x a day. whew!

Best myTouch 4g Rom

What's the best mytouch 4g rom right now? Ive tried all the obvious ones; iced, cyanogen, muiu, hd sense. Just wondered if there was something else out there, something better, or different. Getting a little bored with the obvious, like to test new things.
Any thoughts?

think your only option would be to wait until the devs get honeycomb or liquid metal going for our phone

Ice is good~~Without the sound of Camara so you can do some evil things~

I'm really loving the thunderbolt port right now.

I digging it too. Had to switch the font, but otherwise, TB is hella responsive. We'll see how the battery life is after a full drain and recharge.

IMO Its all about preference. You gotta ask yourself if y like stock android or sense (among other overlays)
Personally. I havent experienced a rom smoother than Ice Glacier yet. I was surprised since CM7 was less than half the size but smoothness was way behind Ice. IMO Sense roms are more optimized for our chipsets since thats what HTC works on most so im Sense all the way

It really is all personal preference. Especially with a phone like this with so many options the differences in performance are going to be nominal. I personally love CM so that's what I am running. There are people that love sense and there are ROMs out there for that. A better thread for you would have been things you are looking for and we could suggest the best ROM suited for your needs.

is it me or has rom production almost come to a halt. i mean with GB ready to go whats the deal? or are all the devs working on HC and done with GB

Well as you know Sense based rom specially IG is not actually full rom as it just modified and comparing to current CM7(AOSP2.3.X:GB) its 1/3rd of the port size. But as IG heavily depends on Sense based framework it will be little smoother but you can make CM7 smooth also IDK what people talking about it lags as if I even run at 368mhz(max)/245(min)/ondemand (gov) I get NO lag.

Thats the beauty of AOSP and we are thankful so who cares what Google is doing maybe by next year HTC will port Sense based on 2.3 and we just got AOSP2.3.3 port last night on CM7NB11.

my fave so far is jaywans nexus s gingerbread rom. it's pretty smooth and everything works. I wanted to try his thunderbolt port but I kinda got tired of sense

is CM7NB11 in rom manager??

Last I heard the CM updater for Rom Manager Premium wasnt updating for some reason but it could be fixed by now. That was yesterday. Unfortunatly I only have the free version and it only allows for DL of CM7 RC1 so i cant confirm if the other is working again.

Lol that's what he was talking about? How hard is it to grab the current build from CM repository, it takes just 1 sec. I have cURL.d setup on my server it grabs it automatically within 1min as I set the eCrawler auto updated every min.

I just finished an update for it taking it from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 is fast smooth and great on battery. I sent it to royal night so he can put his touches on it so i will be ready real soon.

Really depends on how you want to style your phone. Do you like Sense? Do you want a vanilla flavored rom?
I love CM7.

+1 / with carlos2384 ... Jaywan's Nexus S is hands down my favorite ROM so far on this device. Jaywan - udaman! I'm pumped about v2.2 for Nexus S !!
...I did just flash the new Liquid Metal port (RoyalLiquid) and it's quiiiiiite interesting and unique....since it appears it's froyo based, I'm not sure it's gonna steal my heart long term from the Nexus S ROM but at least for now, it's REALLY nice to have options!! (especially when they're as cool as this)
Thanks again Jaywan, Royalknight6190, and TeamRoyal !

I am currently trying ThunderBolt. I like it. I came from Iced which was giving me all sorts of funny business.

Im currently testing out another phone for a friend and I dont have my mt4g to check it out... thanks tho...

Just got my new toy!!

Finally was able to get a Nexus S 4g found someone off Craigslist who did an even trade for my EVO. I did love my EVO but since my gf got her Nexus I have wanted one. On my EVO I ran Decks and loved it. I already have it rooted now I just need to decide if I want to keep it stock or try something else. Any advice on a great rom would be appreciated thinking about trying out Decks.

Wowzers. That guys lost out hardcore lmao

Yeah first they wanted me to throw in some cash and I was like your the one who posted on CL that you wanted to trade for an Evo so you want it and if you look on Sprint.com the Evo is selling more then the Nexus so he did it lol. I was like Score!!

I've left mine stock and I love this phone. It works smoothly and (almost) flawlessly.

Yes, stay stock for now. And when you got bored, you can try Brainmaster's MIUI if you want different andorid experience with many customization options ...

Yeah I had MIUI on the EVO it was amazing how much customization you can do with it. I just wish they had 4g support.
Thanks I am excited to be in the club!!
Any kernel recommendations??

Trinity, check my signature! I've tried them all (almost), and trinity TUV/TEUV have best battery/performance ratio in my opinion...

Aren't there crazy signal losses occurring with this ROM?

Welcome to the Nexus got mine a few weeks ago and rooted and flashed CM7 on the 1st day LOL .. you should go and try Trinity definitely for Speed and it's under-volted also if your looking for rock solid stability go for Bugless pete's Kernel

Never had those problems with NS version and trinity kernel...

Thanks for the advice Im using Bugless Pete's kernel and his deodexed rom of 2.3.7 and have it over clocked to 1.4 with set cpu. Do you have any recommendations for Set Cpu settings? I know I don't to use cpu if I'm running a different rom but for right now Im basically stock.

Isn't that a GSM only version of MIUI? OP said he traded his Evo, so it seems to me that he probably has CDMA service. Just sayin...

So far I am loving this phone running Bugless Pete's deodexed rom and kernel and installed the voodoo app and configured the color scheme and all I can say is wow I thought the display was great before ... this blows it out of the water!!
I have been going back and forth between overclocking to 1.4 and it has been extremely stable and keeping it at stock.
I am so happy I got this phone and I can honestly say I don't miss the EVO.

Good ROM to try out?

hey guys iv been rooted since day 1 and iv been on KINGS ROM since day 1 as well!
but i want to get off of kings rom and try out new stable rom. what are the good ones out there?

If you never use your 4G, then MIUI is the ROM for you. It's fast, stable, and energy-efficient despite all the "bugs" people ramble about. It's also very customizable and updates every Friday to ensure you always get the latest versions and bug fixes.

If you have not tried a Sense 3.5 ROM yet I suggest $PrimeXL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354283

for aosp gingerbread evo deck, and for sense I love $PrimeXL

Xplod is a CM based rom thats very fast and all the profiles are up todate,very customizable and lots of mods. TN's Xplod

Also try sinister it's mix of sense 2.1 and 3.0 . Sense 3.5 roms have one isssue or another.
Decks doesn't have flash working in 4g

I can't wait to get my hands on a stable ICS rom. It will just give us EVO owners that much more shelf life.
Question, I know there is an Alpha for ICS in the works right now. Do the developers already have everything they need to develop the rom or does a phone like the Galaxy Nexus which will have ICS stock have to come out first?
As for a good current rom, I'm running Mik 2.61, very clean, stable and great battery life. It's a Sense rom, different themes are available.
