Cm7 is pretty smooth....I also like the GB leak.

Currently using CM7, love it! Tired Miui and got stuck in booting screen for 15 mins or so. Any suggestions?

Try virus gingersense.

Although the new Kingdom ROM that Virus and company put together looks intruiging

Konicub's elite series III. Fast, smooth and everything works flawlessly.

Can't go wrong with Virusrom, i'm blown away by GingerSense. Was running Infected since rc2.
Don't forget to bring a towel!

either Koni Elite III or Virus Airborne. Both are fast, smooth, and look great!

Been using deck 1.0 with a tiamat 3.3.8 and its been stable with easily a good 16 hours of batter with moderate use and sprint lovers or fresh if its a stable froyo rom

SalvageMod 1.2.1 with tiamat 3.3.7 sbc and ADW
fast, smooth, great battery life

Since no one answered you, yes HDMI works.

Virus Airborne with netarchy 4.34 no sbc no havs. Fast, senseless, battery solid and gets me thru the day with my usage.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Fresh 3.5.1, and one of the netarchy kernels, aggressive undervolting, and a few other things I can't remember. Best battery life I've ever seen, and still gives me Sense

MIUI - best UI, decent battery life and best usability.

+1 for MIUI. With the Tiamat kernel, superb battery life. I no longer bother charging my phone when I'm at work. Sometimes I even forget to charge it overnight. Doesn't matter...I'm never in danger of running out of juice. Plus the slickness of the UI is unparalleled. Beautiful.

VirusROM GengerSense B4. Its fast, battery life is good. Looks great, Virus is the man.

Thankxx all for the help

Cyanogen Mod 7. I've used Cyanogen mod on my phone, tested it on a Droid as well, and Cmod 6 that were ported to the Spica and the Moment, the best part of Cyanogen mod aside from the support is the Cmod settings.

Need a new rom

I've been using sense. But I'm missing the performance of aosp badly. I use Skype video chat a lot and I text a lot. So I need something that's good with both. I need good battery life too. Any suggestions??

EVO CLASSIC by TommyTomatoe......best ROM I've ever used hands down. All the performance of AOSP, and all the benefits of Sense, great battery life, and great mods and tweaks, plus the most active theme/mod community for any ROM. What more could you ask for?

I agree with everything you just said. Now we just need a dev to release a SBC kernel for sense!

+1 on The Classic by far the best sense Rom out, I actually signed up for xda just so I could learn to dev for it =] tommy is the man he replaced calk whose evio3 I kept going back too until The Classic came out I ran synergy rls1 for a while but it was just too laggy for my gaming. And my phone hates aosp. can't keep a single aosp Rom for more than an hr or 2 b4 it starts bootlooping on me

There is an optimized CM7 ROM on SDX made by DC13 who I believe is a member of the Ti-X team. I went to the new CM7 and went back to that ROM because battery life sucked with the new CM7. I run it with Savaged Zen and the battery life I get is unreal.......and that's w/o undervolting the ROM.

A Good Rom for Evo?

i hope this the correct forum for this if not Im sorry. I have an epic but my wife has an Evo and i have put a rom on it for her. Now she is complaining about cyanogenmod 7 that I put on her phone and she keeps running into small problems Im not that familiar w/ the evo roms so I need some guidance with them. I need something very stable and very easy to use, it doesn't matter what android as long as it is stable.
thanks in advance

MIUI
My mom's phone is an Evo 4G and I put MIUI on it. It has an iOS-like interface and it is VERY easy to use.

It's also the buggiest ROM I've ever run. Try Evo Classic by TommyTomatoe. Super stable and super easy to use.

Honestly, Evo4gLI, the last time I checked, I haven't run into any problems using MIUI. Green_Arrow says in his guide that MIUI "has the longest battery life and is very customizable." I would readily second that, and though MIUI doesn't have WiMAX as of yet, I don't use 4G at ALL.

Check our the guide in my signature. For ultimate stability, I would suggest MikG or tommytomatoe's The Classic if you want Sense.
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It is incredibly stable if you actually wipe everything right

Sounds like you should have left the phone at stock settings ;o Go with one of the stock mods like Classic or Swagged Out Stock. Can't get more stable than that.
Maybe get her an ice cream sandwich mod for ease of use when those become stable.

I am new to rooting but have found Fresh and Nocturnal's Shooter (Sense 3.0) roms pretty good. No issues so far and has been around 3 weeks of steady usage. I have the Evo 4g. Just make sure to back up so if anything goes wrong you are covered. I also like to test out the phone pretty good after installing anything. rooted or otherwise. could be buggy software causing the issues. waiting for cyan9 in jan.
Also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334484 has an excellent guide on rooting the evo. I was put off by other guides but you can't get more cut and dry than that one. Thoughtful and detailed in case you missed anything.

Can't say I've ever ran MIUI, but from all of the roms I've ran, I've never had
stability issues with any Sense based rom and have so far had the best battery
life with MikG's 2.59 with the Freedom kernel.
sitting at 22:30 hrs up, 6:50hrs awake with 54% battery life remaining.
Took a screen shot even to show my brother to tick him off, his photon dies
over the course of a work day.
I'd agree though, MikG and Tommytomatoes roms are great,
I love a lot of the 3.5 roms as well, but the stability and performance aren't
where I'd like them to be yet. Never got the feel for CM/AOSP based roms,
though they all run well for me, and I never did like the Apple style UI, which
everyone seems to compare MIUI to. Probably why that's one of the only roms
I haven't installed on my evo.

Favorite ROMS

I don't know about u guys but mine is sense 2.1/3.0 cuz it has a mix of things and its smooth ! (Mikg) wats urs?

I have to say, I've grown to enjoy what Sense 3.5 has to offer. I fully intend the remainder of my phones on contract life to be spent with either Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 or (my currently installed rom) Warm TwoPointThree. I missed out on Warm TwoPointTwo and all it's heyday so I'm fully enjoying my first ever run with the Warm series.
Side note, I think my next android phone will spend its life on AOSP either because:
A) it's a Nexus device
B) I rooted/installed an AOSP rom

My current favs are Stock+/Inc-Deck GB/OMGB
I never have had a good experience with sense 3.0+ roms, too slow and I dont want to overclock although some of the roms are built really well. AOSP is really nice on our old hardware and always runs clean.

I'm on Inc-Deck-GB myself, I guess that probably answers the question.
with special props to SkyRaider 4.+... that was the best sense ROM. I would still use it if it had ever got updated to Gingerbread.

I've never tried MikG, Downloading and flashing tonight ^.^ hows the battery life? What kernel do you use etc? My personal fav has always been CM7

Cm7 loyalist no doubt. It gives the best performance, support, and customization of any rom. When I get a new phone, ill be shopping on the base of roms, and cm7 support is a must.

same here, love CM7. With heavy customization from android kitchen and other apps I'm loving my phone and don't have any urge to try other ROMs (maybe a bad thing?)
Sense always gave my phone a little more bloat, no matter how small it was, I'm still all for faster and leaner so that's why I've been stuck to CM7.

Just loaded up MikG and its booted, but its at the mikmikmik wallpaper, and no unlock screen, i can see the battery, time 3g and signal bar though..

Same happened to me on that rom a few times. I got it booted on my first flash but after that, none.
If you want a fun rom to play around with I suggest anyone of the super stock AOSP roms i.e. OMGB/Bugless Beast. What better way to customize than to start with the bare bones.

MIUI with my WP7 customizations runs like a boss. I underclock to 245/128 when I listen to music only and it runs as maybe a 700 MHz Sense rom would, while getting maybe days of battery.

I'm using Stock Plus with a bunch of themes I blended together. My favorite ROM of all time was WarmZ though. What I would give to have it in Gingerbread form... its what's in my sig actually.

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

ended up with MIUI
My first flash in the rooting game was McTwist. I enjoyed it but wanted to try something else. I switched to Nils Business GingerSense with sense 3.0 and loved his design and the smoothness. Something happened where after a few weeks my phone became unstable tho. Could have been my kernel or my phone or even the charger I was using since apps crashed when plugged in. I then decided to get away from sense roms and tried MIUI 1.12.9. It's smooth and doesn't seem to have that sense bloat. I flashed the latest incredikernel and have been loving the ROM since. It has custom themes which is great for me. I also find myself using the stock dialer,SMS, and camera instead of searching for an after market app. The only thing I didn't like was the homescreens and the launcher so I just use launcherpro and everything looks good.
So as a recap:
McTwist was good
Nils Business GingerSense was great but caused phone problems for me
Sticking with MIUI for now

I can see how the lag puts people off from Sense 3.5. I haven't run into the issue cuz I use ADW Ex (proudly purchased for .10 cents awhile back) and I just go about my business.

I believe it. Probably my personal favorite moment to be a member of XDA was when we first had the GingerSense leak last May. Development just shot through the roof for Sense 2.1+ roms. Sense 2.1 is the sweet spot.

[Q] recommend a ROM for speed and performance

I'm going through all the ROM's and its overwhelming so I'm asking for help. I'm looking for speed, performance, visual updated that also doesn't make me lose 4g, wifi, blue tooth or anything else major.
Please recommend any ROM's that might fit for me. I am rooted with clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.2 with flashed supersonic_nolimit06-v101_020112 ROM.
thanks!

In my experience, I think that the stock setup works best. Maybe bump up the transition speed in Spare Parts.

My battery died so quickly with the stock setup, not to mention visually its not appealing. I've also have experienced less drag time with this recent rom. thanks though

I am having a good time with jamieg71 kwiq rom. Also decks 1.3d is good. If you can wait a bit longer we should be seeing a reloaded decks rom by jamieg71. Can't wait!!! Haha

SOS is great since its Sense 1.0 and based off the 4.67 update from Sprint. (Latest I think) so everything works and its definitely a visually appealing ROM. swagstr does great work, I'm running SOS X with ca1nes underworld kernel with SBC for a more complete charge. And with very heavy use I get roughly 8 hours. (I use my phone, for the phone lol.) Lots of good choices. Best thing to do is flash one and keep it for a couple of days and if it doesn't seem to fit your needs, try another. I tried many, but I keep going back to Swagged Out Stock.

I think we all are looking for the same thing. That why we are flashoholics....

Ok guys i have the perfect rom for you,just like Hockeytown1970 said 4 kornerz is the rom 4 u.It has speed,smoothness,working 4G,3G,bluetooth,wifi hotspot and tethering mod and very customizable and it has beats audio mod,anthrax kernel and volume+ to kick that sound up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612933

Plenty of AOSP ROMs have a great combination of speed and performance, especially if you use a custom kernel.
I noticed you didn't say "features". There are a lot of decent Sense ROMs that are a lot more generous with their features than the tweaky DIY world of AOSP, many of them plenty fast...

Tommy's classic

Swagged out stock N (the one with the go launcher) with lionfish kernel (I use aggressive), with smartassv2 as your governor, is likely to be the fastest out there. It has a lot of performance optimizations that AOSP roms typically don't match.
