I switched from cm7 to royal Ginger 1.6. Very fast and responsive. Moving from screen to screen is quick. Apps load up fast. Actually i am having trouble using up my battery everyday before charging it at night. Sometimes it will last two days without needing to be charged. Coupled with faux's latest kernel Cfs lv I have not run into any problems so far. Signals are good and strong.

I moved from CM7 to RG1.6 and can say it runs a bit faster and good on battery.

I have to give that a try sometime. faux keeps releasing a new version every day...i am tempted. I have always been fan of pure google experience (and then customize on my own)

use the new CM7 (7.0.2) its very stable.

If you want pure aosp that is fast as hell without the extra crap... get faux's rom. Its amazing.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Don't really like questions like this but every rom is different. It is all personal preference. Your phone is different as well it may not like certain roms. You should do try out different roms to see what your phone likes best.

Running faux's AOSP rom! Fabulous!

which one is better...
I think what is being asked here is not which one is better, because that answer would be based on opinion; the info sought here is what are the ups and downs of each ROM so he will know which one would be best for him.

The only way to know based on your own preference is to try them all. It only takes a few minutes to change roms. I suggest you try them all for a few days each ans go from there.
My personal preference is pure Google. I hate extra stuff. Some people need a little flavor so CM is great. Just try them all and make your own choice

I would say that is the best thing to do try them all... I'll be honest with ya out of the GB experience i like what Royal Ginger has done lately and the new Cm7 is really really stable good experience.. But i always and i mean always go back to Royal Glacier (mysense) i know i know.. but it's fast as hell in my eyes.... and i have ALL of my phones functions... anyways, to each his own..

Cm7 is og and royalginger is bg meanning baby gangstar

what rom are you running

Sinster roms have always been my favorite roms just curious what all you guys are running i had a issue with a couple of my apps not running on the newest version of sinister the dev. is super cool dude always helpful. i flashed to dominus_zetav1 then to v3 but some stuff didn't work on v3 so i flashed back to v1.

Synergy nightly. I don't usually run Sense ROMs - but this thing is stable and sharp.

MikG Sense 2.1 v1.03. Very stable rom and battery life is good. Id give it a shot.

Running MikG I may end up moving away from AOSP for a while. This ROM is pretty well done.

Nothing major so to speak. I do like the way the battery indicator and the skins right out the box on Mik's. Both are good imo. I am already back to deck's rom tho, I missed my aosp

This one. Stock GB, rooted, De-Odexed.

I've been rooted for about 2 weeks and tried just about everything, found that I really liked Warm 2.2 and moved into the synergy nightlys because it was being talked about in the thread. And Synergy is amazing imo and I can't wait for the finished product

I bounce between Warm 2.2 and MIUI, but going to load up Synergy in a few minutes and probably stick on that for awhile. I load Warm 2.2 onto all of friend's phones, though.
I donated one of my Carbon Fiber battery covers to Myn, too. evo.carbonfibermagic.com

What is the best ROM ?

I was thinking about flashing some sense 3.0 or 3.5 but I wanna no way u guys think is the most stable ROM
Sent from my Droid Incredible 3D using xda premium

Personally the Sense ROM's are too laggy for my taste. I run CM7 and then load on a bunch of customizations to make it look hella awesome

I'll agree with u on that one, but the taste on sense 3.0 and 3.5 is awesome. it runs ok for me, its not too laggy tho
Sent from my Droid Incredible 3D using xda premium

The best way to find the best rom for you is to make a nandroid of your current setup and try whatever rom you are interested in. Because what some people might find to be the best rom here you might not like. Its all based on taste. I will say this, if you want speed and battery life go aosp. If you want pretty widgets and can put up with lag go sense.

Yea I'm down with sense

Wildstang's roms have always been solid for me. I would recommend his 3.0 Rom based on the desire hd, it is optimized for a single core device with WVGA resolution so it is just as smooth as our OTA. Battery life is pretty amazing, I get about a full day out of the stock battery with moderate use. That's from about 6:30 am to about 6:00 pm with about 20% left at the end of the day. If you chose his rom, I would wait until vfour drops tonight or tomorrow morning to flash so you don't have to start all over after you set everything up.

Im running Nil's current 3.5 sense Rom. I haven't tried any kernels with it yet.
I've flashed CM7, MIUI, Gingersense...etc. Personally, you just have to try what's best for you.
I'm loving the 3.5 sense with 3D movement. I don't think I'll go back after this ROM. I've tried Nils and Newt. Both are very similar. But very awesome.

I prefer Nil's. Nil's rom + tiny's kernel ftw

Geeze... I've gone through so many ROMs on that dInc in the last 2 days I can't keep them straight. If I'm right, that's the same ROM I slapped on there last and it's working like a dream. It seemed like an honestly finished piece of work. I'm so happy not to be dealing with that butterfaced CM7 anymore. No offense to the devs, but two things really irked me a little in looking for ROMs. First, names and OPs that didn't describe what the ROM was. Second, no mention in the OP of major known issues... like a camera that FC's after every pic??? And I saw one that didn't even have a download. Instead it pushed you off to Rootzwiki. Kinda goofy, I thought. Don't even ask me to point fingers because I wouldn't even if I could. Frankly, I don't remember anything I flashed except that last one... because it worked and I liked it. The others got a 5 minute interview and didn't get the job and were promptly forgotten.

I can't mess with the 3.x roms to choppy/laggy. I think the 3.0 ports show just how outdated our hardware is. Ive just been rollin with the 2.3.4 GB release. The speed and battery life is great.

Im runnin newts 3.5 sense build 1.02, and it smokes everything but the ota roms out there, but its real close. A few kinks to work out and it could be the best dinc rom ever.

I'm on Newts 3.5 v1.02 is definitely a strong daily. Tried Nils 3.5 not bad just needs little tweaks. Will try that one again with new release.Had Nils GBS 3.0 on since release before that .
Sent from my Droid Incredible 3D using xda premium

I've gotta represent for Jermaine. I'm running InSensitive Minimalist 2.3.1 right now and it is great, very fast, smooth, stable. Basically the OTA with all of the bloat and more removed, including the Rosie launcher.
Why not just go AOSP, you might ask? Well, I feel like the Inc just runs better with the Sense framework, and I'm a sucker for the Sense apps, Mail, Camera, Music, Gallery, People. That ROM is the best of both worlds, IMHO.
I've tried a few Sense 3 ROMs, and they were a lot of fun...but they ultimately felt like an awkward fit.
But here's the bottom line...there is no *best* ROM. There are a lot of options, especially on this phone, and you have the freedom to find the one that best suits your needs and preferences. That is the beauty of Android, of XDA, and of the many great Devs.
So...happy flashing and much respect to all the Devs.

Have to say joelz's shooter rewind 3D has been running great for the past month or so, waiting for his new Sense 3.5 release before I retire shooter. Gotta be honest, out of all the roms I've flashed, joelz's usually come out on top.

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.

Thanks for the ideas! If I happened to go out of my comfort zone into AOSP ROMs, which would best fit the qualifications above?

Mikg or classic for sense, and decks for aosp are my choices.

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!!!

MikG was a lot faster and stable than Synergy for me. Also the fact that myn has abandoned synergy and that MikG continuously gets updates helped me switch.

Use the Neon BT theme with that MIUI. It's the shizzz

Jared's ICS rom, and you can fall back on CM7 [if you need camera and/or 4G].

Im using Deck's ICS ROM, its running amazing, don't have a huge need for the camera or 4g atm, but I really do miss all of the CM7 tweaks, I can't wait for CM9!!!
