Please post some ideas on themes and ROM's you would like to see ported over once we have perma root.
I'll start the list"
AOSP
CM6/7
Myn's Warm
Fresh
Once we have a pretty thorough list, I will post up a poll.
AOSP!
PS: I hate sense
CM6/7
Was there any confirmation that this phone will recieve CyanogenMOD support?
If this has been discussed, I must have missed it.... Thanks!
I would love to see CM7 on this phone. I've always hated the AOSP cam app, but now that I found Vignette I will use AOSP all day.
No confirmation, I'm hoping that if we have some ROM's that everyone wants we will be able to find a way to get support for them.
Thanks! I thought Darchstar was picking up this phone as well...
I will be watching.
AOSP or CM 7 gets my vote...just excited to see what comes about

Wha What??
I would love to see CM6/7. If Darch is headed this way we will have some great development I'm hoping we can get Full root and an OC'd Kernel soon as i cant wait to get this phone smoking fast.
Big fan of AOSP on the Hero. Would love to see it here.
CyanogenMod is all I want.
Yep. Put me down for anything CyanogenMod. Currently running Kanged CM7 on my EVO and am loving it so far.
Would like to see MIUI also for the Shift.
So I'm in a debate right now, currently running miui 1.5.6 and I love it. Alot of things about it are nice simple and flawless , ui is simple to manage and has great little effects. But cm7 gb was my first rom I used and GPS worked fine unlike my miui atm, little things about miui are starting to tick me off even though its not 100% ready. ( pretty sure I read that some where on here). Anyways any thoughts on which one I should use as a daily? Cm7 easy to theme? I'm still new but open to learning. Thanks again.

Why would you ask others their opinion on which rom you should run? People that rum miui will tell you to choose, and the same for cm
Just try out all the roms, and see which one you like.
And you can go to evo 4g themes subforum for plenty of cm themes
If you like AOSP I'd say roll with cm7 as your daily driver, but keep in mind miui is plagued with most of the same bugs in CM7. There's a ton of theme starter guides out there it should be easy!
I wonder how many threads have this exact title?
Haha noobs right? Yes I'm ragging on myself but its whatever. And just looking for opinions on pros and cons of both from the "pros" out there. I normally don't have to post of this forum just because everything ( my questions/problems) have been answered already. But asking. And okay ill check it out thanks alot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MIUI has 4G. So if that's not important to you, yeah, I'd think about it. If you get 4G almost everywhere you go like I do, go with CM7.

As of now, MIUI doesn't have working 4G. And my vote is CM7...clean, smooth, everything works...
Unfortunately, Tulsa doesn't have 4g, well they do but its only on a busy street called memorial, and it runs for like 3 miles or so. Other than that no, so sticking with MIUI would not be the worst idea. Just need to learn how to theme CM7. The "classic" look isn't for me. Prefer MIUI ui.

So... you are telling us that you have MIUI on your phone right now and have been using it, and that you had CM7 as your daily driver already for an extended period of time? But even after using both as your daily driver you somehow still are unable to figure out which one you like and you want us to tell you which to use? Wow.
You are using MIUI now but you are clearly not happy because you long for CM7.
Switch to CM7.
There are you happy now? You have our permission to do what you clearly wanted to do in the first place.
BTW both MIUI and CM7 are buggy. Welcome to ASOP roms. If you can live without the minor bells and whistles of ASOP a Sense-based ROM is almost always more stable and better with your hardware(for example your videos look like crap on all ASOP roms cuz no one has figured out how to get the 720p recording to work).

Ask 10 different people, get 12 different responses. As you've noticed.
Point it only something you can answer for yourself.
Had my sultrySupersonic for less than a week, first ROM i loaded was Destroyer 2 (modded CM7 build). No complaints, no bugs (not sure what these bugs people speak of are). Took a little while to get it themed to how i like, but it's fantastic. I average 2.2 %/hr battery life.
When i saw my buddy running MIUI on his Dinc, i had to try it. LOVED it. The 2.3 build was actually buggy for me, and the 2.2 build was pretty laggy compared to CM7. Ultimately what killed it for me was the batt life. Nothing can compare to my D2 build on my Evo.
Every phone reacts differently, rock them both, play with it, let the Haters Hate. Only you can decide.
HaHa. Interesting thread!
I'm going to say try them back and forth, make a pro and con list on a piece of paper, then stick with MIUI! lol

Ha I love the MIUIs UI, and how you can choose some themes people have created. But all in all cm7 is working the best, battery life is flawless. GPS is on key. Still going back and forth but seems CM7 is on key for me. Just still learning on the theming part.

While not as invasive as themes in MIUI, the themes in the T-Mobile theme engine for cm7 will allow you to really customize the look to your liking.
My vote is for CM7. In my opinion it is more feature rich and less buggy. Only disadvantage is its not quite as "pretty" as MIUI, otherwise everything else is better for my use.
Tapa tapa tapa
IF, and I do mean if, they get 2.3 MIUI perfected I will switch back to that. I liked how it felt and looked.
But, having been using CM7 for a few months (I was not a fan of CM6), I am really starting to dig CM7. I don't think any other rom I have tried feels like a ROM that would have come on a phone. What I mean by that is, there aren't many bugs and it looks legit. The customization is pretty awesome too. I just wish CM had things like visitor mode, or some sort of sneaky mode where people couldn't look through your stuff if they pick up your phone. I don't like having to enter a code on my phone to get into it, but I hate that anyone can see anything if they pick it up.
Besides CyanogenMod is there anyone that is porting ICS over yet?
Look at miui by ace over on rootzwiki. Running it now. Super smooth, and awesome battery.

The latest MIUI build uses the Ice Cream Sandwich framework.

I tried MIUI but my phone never could achieve deep sleep on the ICS test build or latest official. The apps that the battery Stats said are apps I need and these apps behave normally on CM7, so w/e, I wanted to give MIUI a try but battery life was horrible b/c of deep sleep issues.
There is a deep sleep patch in the ICS miui op. No excuses now

Lol, we all want to see ICS on the X. As for the iphone comment you geniuses know that you can use any launcher you want and make it exactly like you have it now but with all the customization of miui.... of course you knew that.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I did know that, yes. Not new to loading ROMs. FWIW the miui isn't really ics either.
No the ICS test build has a percentage of 4.0 files added into the framework. The look is simply a theme like any other. No visual or ui changes by way of ICS were included.
It will be nice if we could someday get full ics... Maybe cyanogen team will get it figured soon. I will say miui runs a whole lot better with the bit Scotland did fit into the gb framework. I don't even carry a charger to work anymore.

By stating 'Stock' ICS, you would be looking for something that would only come from Mot/VZW.
Otherwise, there's the ICS MIUI project & the CM9-ICS project.
Wouldn't be expecting a stock ICS update for the X any time this century, but then again, who knows

By Stock, I'm assuming he means AOSP, or 'Stock' in the way Google designed it. That is something that absolutely will not come from Moto/VZW.
CM9 is at this point practically AOSP. It will take a lot of time for them to evaluate the enhancements that were added to CM7 above AOSP GB (Many of which have now been included as part of AOSP ICS).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just FYI...
I used to be a HUGE CM supporter.
Still am, and am actually ON CM currently...but I flash between that an MIUI constantly.
I'll quickly vouch for MIUI here.
I had avoided it for my entire android experience. Didn't want to touch that crappy iPhone Kangerang!
I flashed it out of curiosity a few months ago...
And have been happily sitting on it as my daily driver (a lot of the time).
It's themes are gorgeous...and even simpler to flash that CM7's TMobile theme engine themes.
The lockscreens? Endless. And again, gorgeous. Super cool customization here.
ICS rip-offs. Blur rip-offs. iPhone rip-offs (blegh!).
The dialer is very blur-like...something that blur does right.
You type (T9-like) a person's name and they pop up in the menu for a quick call.
Menu+Down Volume = Screenshot
Menu+Volume Up = Temporary Full Brightness (Ever been in a sunny area and NEEDED this to see?).
The typical "pull-up" menus from android turn into drop-down menus.
The call-answer function is, again, beautiful. And allows you to quickly ignore and send an auto-text stating that you're busy.
Endless Boot-animations...again, in the theme section.
System sounds were recently added to MIUI themes...
With a touch of a button, you can change your lockscreen sound...keyboard sounds...selection sounds...instantly.
MIUI, is classy. And a very nice ROM.
Try it. If you were like me, you'll be happy you took the plunge.
*As a note, I do NOT like the MIUI launcher...
A custom one quickly fixes that.
As far as AOSP...
What do you like about it?
I mean, I don't dislike it.
But you can flash the gallery onto MIUI.
And the AOSP messenger is nothing special (I mean, it doesn't have features that others don't).
Dialer?
Again, the "blur" feature here is VERY nice.
Contacts?
These look pretty AOSP on MIUI...
And, again, the "ICS MIUI" builds that are currently out are not only not truly ICS...but aren't even official.
MIUI's Facebook page actually posted a bunch of screens this morning of what they're working on for the official release (with UI enhancements, as one user here suggested he wanted).
New Dialer was shown...along with the new app manager (ICS of their own) feature.
Don't just believe the hype like I did...
MIUI is actually pretty goddamn sweet.
I agree Miui is awesome. I'm using the Razor which I got for .01 till the Nexus is released. Then giving this to my wife. But the new ice cream from Google looks amazing. Just wait till we get into that and start chopping it up. It will be wicked.

[UPDATED 03/22/2012]
I've noticed in almost all of the Rom threads for the Evo4g that they haven't been updated lately or the download links aren't working anymore. Which leads to a couple of questions. [Now with Answers!]
What is the status on Gingerbread EVO4G development?
Answer: Apparently the EVO4G is still under some pretty good development. Maybe not as hardcore as it used to be when it first came out but that's to be expected with Ice Cream Sandwich taking most of the attention. The root method as of 03/18/2012 is the Revolutionary tool. This tool will work for the EVO with hboot versions up to 2.15.0001 and 2.16.0001.
What [STABLE] roms, both AOSP and Sense, are currently still being updated and developed?
*AOSP
- CyanogenMod 7.2 (Released 03/18/2012) YouTube Link
- Alternative CyanogenMod Nightlies (by xjackofall)
*Sense
- Stock BareBones (by misery in motion)
- Synergy (Hasn't been updated in a while and this is an alternative link from the OP [Original Post] but a good ROM for sure.)
- Sprint Updated Series (by brad560)
What's the official status of CyanogenMod 7? Why no nightlies?
Answer: (by jelive) They are concentrating on CM9 ICS so no nightly CM7 GB action. Everything is kangs to bring us to CM7.2 which this OP and couple others (see link for Euroskank in earlier post) compile themselves from latest GB commits-updates.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23735841&postcount=455
Where can I find the latest and greatest Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions?
Answer: Calkulin has a thread that lists all of these. Find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7027238&postcount=1
What is the latest way to Root my EVO?
Answer: Revolutionary tool is the latest way to root. It's available at http://www.revolutionary.io. I've created a "How To" video using this method here: YouTube LINK.
* The ROMs listed above are the most basic answers. Of course there are many more ROMs to choose from and you can easily find them just by going to the main 'Development' section of the EVO forums.
Development has certainly not stopped. Slowed down? Perhaps. But lately there has been alot of activity with ice cream sandwich that other roms haven't been gettin updated. Or source hasnt been released so progress on roms have yielded. Time is of essence as well so please just be patient. Work will slowly jumpstart again. The EVO is an awesome phone

So I take it that CM9 will not be officially released for the Glacier correct? The only alternatives are the kangs that other developers grab and tweak for use on our device correct? The development section seems to be a swirling mass of ports and <insert name here>'s ICS.
How do we sort through this?
What is everyone's recommendation for a ROM nowadays.
Is ICS just a fabled dream for this unit?
Would I be better to stick with the latest CM7 nightly instead?
What do you think?
We have devs working on cm9 right now, check dev section.

alternative to cm9
Have you tried Zipps Creamed Glacier? This is a serious piece of ics work. I've tried others including cm9 which I enjoyed but has bugs and creamed glacier is the best of all for me. Hardly any issues, smooth as silk and regular updated. Give it a try.
+1 to trofmoc. Last week, I installed zips creamed glacier (he took over and built his own creamed glacier), and it was really stable. 3.10 had a couple bugs which were fixed in 3.11 today. Good stuff.
ICS for Glacier (MT4G)
I'm a total n00b when it comes to ROMs but my phone was almost bricked by Sense until I rooted it and began having lots of fun with mods.
There's an alpha for CM9, but I've flashed Creamed Glacier (Zipsnet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555574) which was really good and was about to try IceColdSandwich by blackwing182 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551456) when I saw a cool hybrid of the two that has been working really well. It was put together by I2IEAILiiTY but he's pulled the dl down due to some "drama." I have the .zip file, but I don't want to cause trouble by posting it.

As a note, some people have been experiencing a low-mic issue (so I've gathered) and the fix appears to be this by user lincore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=531.
Good luck!

I am totally aware people are working on it, but it's not a straight from the source release as CM7 was correct?

I'm a total n00b when it comes to ROMs but my phone was almost bricked by Sense until I rooted it and began having lots of fun with mods.
There's an alpha for CM9, but I've flashed Creamed Glacier (Zipsnet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555574) which was really good and was about to try IceColdSandwich by blackwing182 (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551456) when I saw a cool hybrid of the two that has been working really well.

Thanks for the suggestions people. I tried creamed glacier I think a couple months ago I wanna say and it was highly experimental at the time. I like cutting edge, but extreme cutting edge as in the camera doesn't work, wifi doesn't work, etc....is just too hardcore for me. I'm going to give Zips a shot and see how it is now.
BTW I didn't mean to sound whiny about the large amounts of stuff in the dev section, it can just be overwhelming sometimes to sort through whos working on what and where it came from you know. What stage of dev it is in, etc. We almost need some sort of trending mechanism to XDA, unless of course there already is one and I don't know about it.
I don't think you sounded whiney. It sucks when the manufacturer and carrier basically drop development for a relatively new device. I totally feel your pain.
As far as ICS on the Glacier goes, I think we're stuck with alpha and beta releases for now. The devs I referenced have been great with new releases and fixes tho. I was using royal ginger, which was good, but I'm loving the hybrid I mentioned and so far no camera bugs. I had a market free app purchasing prob but signing out of Google and back in fixed it (props to dev for that fix). I say give it a try after backing up your rom. You can always go back.
Btw, miui is working on an ICS release. I might try it.
I'm loving AOSP ICS however and Apex launcher.
