[POLL] Which ICS rom do you use? - EVO 4G General

Title is self-explanatory, which do you use and why?

Currently playing with Deck's latest PB9. Tried AOKP Build28. Both need some patching on the edges to get things working, but Deck has HWA.

I use miui its nice, almost lol

AOKP M4 has Bern treating me great. Haven't tries decks yet, but the HWA sounds enticing. But for reliability and customization, I've been hanging with AOKP. Haven't tried drews since p6, I think.

I feel the same way, I love drew and decks work, but I need all my customization options! I just wish HWA would get into AOKP, and I wouldn't ever really complain much, everything else works well, and oh my the battery life.
Slackin scott, where is your vote?

I use jared's ICS because its stable. Playing with gummy because its also stable. I'd recommend both roms.

I've been using Decks since PB4. I tried AOKP milestone 4, but couldn't get GAPPS to work. I use Miui ICS, but it was very laggy compared to Decks.
I've run all the ICS on a slot in Boot Manger Pro.

There was a Gapps file that was posted in the Boot Manager forums. ie:init2winit.
It would work with AOKP's ICS. Not sure why the regular Gapps wouldn't work though.
I've also flashed all of them in to BM slots.
For ICS Roms I've played with some of JTG's early builds, Gummy, Drew's, AOKP Milestone 4, And now Deck's.
I ran PB5 for a day and now I'm planning to flash PB9 in the next day or so.
Deck's stuff looks good. All of the Dev's are making great strides with ICS though.

Vote is in. Lol

I like AOKP its really nice decks was nice to I couldn't get minuit to work at all it just had 3 of every icon on my screen but AOKP worked the best for me you can customize it and can tweak the system

I am using Gummy's ICS on my phone. So far it is stable and I have had no problems other than some apps needing to be updated to work properly. The camera and camcorder does have some minor glitches, but I can overlook them. I really like all of the tweaks that comes with the ROM, you can set up the phone how you like. It is a great stable ICS ROM to use as your daily driver.

I was not aware of that. Of course, I'm not registered on their forum, which I hardly browse at it too.
I do find decks works in regards to lack of lag and smoothness. I do shut off all animations, so all the eye candy is wasted on me. I did find PB5 was significant less stable on Tiamat ICS kernal than the stock; I've read, but don't know for certain, that the stock kernal is Tiamat based anyway. Although, deck's has some of the same issues found on all ICS builds. Although, the camera preview has been fixed; camera still a little glitchy. WiFi seems to need a few tweaks.
What I do like, OnLive and their Universal blue tooth controller, work well.
on a side note, I'm not all that thrilled with Nova Launcher. I'm more partial to Launcher Pro with Folder Organizer. I guess I've been on Windows too long, and like to group things together, yet keep my panes clean looking.
In the end, all the ICS roms are making strides.

I've used MIUI ICS, because ICS doesn't have 4G anyway. It had random reboots, but I didn't see other people with the same problem on the forum so I dunno.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534492

i've used a lot of ics rom's so far (basically all but AOKP and MIUI) and i like gummy so far. No random reboots, really smooth, i wish it had full HWA so i could use chrome, i really like the softkeys, but the keyboard needs to be fixed when you use the softkeys ( half of the bottom row of buttons is gone) and the little blue line on the top bar was gone. i havent used deck's in a while so it might really be improved. the only suggestion i would make for it is to tweak the kernel and the keyboard layout to take off the capacitive buttons and turn off the lights behind them.

AOKP right now, will likely try Decks since there is HWA.

Been running the Gummy port since it was released. Loving it so far. Super speedy and works well. The only problem is lately i'm getting more and more FC's on the stock features (email, music, gallery, file explorer, etc) not sure if it's a flaw in the ROM or a by-product of my meddling. Either way, still a great rom!

Ive used aokp, hmmm yup. Its good.
Ive also used gummy ics. Yup good.
Both have same rom control and pretty smooth. But many apps that i use wont respond or work too slow. Ex NFS hotpursuit.
Now im using PB9 decks-ics. Everything on my apps works now. modern combat 3 is now really smooth.

Agreed. AdamG's Oxygen Rom is my favourite right now. It's AOSP GRJ22 with some of the great features from CyanogenMOD built in (status bar power widget, improved widget picker, etc) and fantastic battery life!
A stable cm 7.1 (2.34) will be out very soon. No worries
Uncle Jimmy says hello
With many devices over many years, I've consistently found that stock firmware is more stable and functional than enthusiast-developed firmware.
I have literally never found an enthusiast-developed firmware that doesn't have at least some minor interface glitches. Most have some problem that's major enough that after a few hours of playing I revert to stock.
Occasionally I will run something other than stock, but that is typically after the device has aged to the point that this is the only way to get a feature. By that point, it's usually time to replace the device, anyway.

I agree in general, but of course there are exception. When I had an HTC Evo 4G, I ended up running CM6 as my daily and it was exceptionally stable. At least as good as stock HTC Sense. Unfortunately when Gingerbread came around, that changed, and CM7 was not in the same ballpark.
On my Nexus, though... yeah I run stock ROM. CM7 is cool and if I had any other device (that came with a carrier OS and not pure Android), I would dump that shiz and rock CM7 for sure. But plain pure stock Android developed by a team of amazing developers specifically for this device, that's just not going to be beat
Hah. Google's "official" code isn't really better then what rom devs provide if they know what they're doing. The way google keeps pushing buggy code without giving a s*** is really disappointing. They release updates and then they stop caring about it. As some pointed out the gb update brought call delay and broke aac support, it really seems like they don't even do some basic testing before releasing a new version (which even the crappiest developer on the block generally does). On top of that, there is still no support at all for gpu acceleration in the ui, which is kinda retarded. Day after day i'm getting more and more disappointed about google dev team's job, they don't really deserve half the respect that many geeks keep tributing them.
Stock vs Custom rom on the NS was something I always thought about too! I only ran stock for a few hours because I immediately flashed a new rom when I got my phone LOL But what I can remember from the stock 2.3.4 was that it was fast, faster than any phone I've ever had. But there are so many features that are incorporated in custom roms and it's really hard to forgo these things.
Anyone out there who has used both stock 2.3.4 and oxygen who can attest to better battery life and performance? I am curious as well.
The last phone I used for a long time running stock was my N1 but after flashing CM6 I never really looked back. Speed increase was very noticeable and battery life was better. This is the reason why I never really bothered to use stock software for my next phones.
well, to be honest, i kinda regret to be flashed customs. Stock is so stable and has so good battery life, but now i can't live without cm7 features, just can't...
it's sad story that shows that you can't miss what you don't know! =oP
I agree for the most part, stock gb is pretty good. Using Oxygen now, and the stability and speed from stock + some nice features makes it a good choice!

In the case of Oxygen not much difference but I believe CM pretty much guts the framework and replaces it with their own heavily modded version.
does facebook sync work on all ASOP roms? or is it just CM7?
Just wondering - does CM 7 for Nexus S still have the video capture glitch where a couple of seconds are skipped near the beginning when played back?

Which rom would you recommend?

I'm currently running CM7, I haven't tried many different roms with this phone, the others I had on my phone at least(besides CM7) were Froyo(stock/rooted) and rooted GB. What other custom roms would be good for me to try, for example, if I want to keep hdmi functionality and 720p recording etc. Is there an AOSP rom where I can keep that functionality?
Liberty .9 is pretty smooth and has the HDMI and 720 p recording down, as well as being very customizable (liberty customizer prompts at first boot to choose which features asop and blur you wish to have).
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I'm currently running DarslideX. It's a GB based prerooted rom. Has hdmi support, as do most GB builds. Been on it about 2weeks now, very stable, some blur, most bloat removed. There are a couple people making custom themes, sliders, etc for it. You can find it over at mdw.

I've had liberty and apex and the rooted leaked gingerbread but I have been happiest with cyanogenmod. Just waiting for HDMI.

Thanks for the responses. I did try Apex, then I installed MIUI.
I am in the same boat. Looking for another GB rom until cm7 is stable.

Cm7 is very stable. I update with the nightly every day. I do have to flash the camera fix to make YouTube work and I also flash the dx2 sound pack from team black hat app although they took it off the app. Wish there was a good HDMI fix already but that's the only thing that would really make cm7 any better for me.
DX+CM7
I'm currently using MIUI and besides the questionable battery life, I love it. My phone feels completely different, in a good way. It's also very smooth and haven't run into any problems yet.
I've been using Liberty v0.9 since it came out. Very smooth, customization is there, everything works... Best rom I've used. Had a problem the first time I loaded it. Re-downloaded it and data wipe fixed it. Liberty toolbox is just as good as team blackhat app.
I'm running Liquid now, i looked at Darkslide X, my phone isn't activated yet, and wanted to know if i have to switch back to stock to get it activated(i may flash to a local company, not Verizon). I might try Liberty.

Agreed 100% MIUI so far has been absolutely wonderful. I would agree though about the battery life issue. Prior to MIUI I was running an early leaked build of Froyo, FroyoDynamite, with SetCPU active on stock kernel I was getting around 2 days of battery life. With MIUI I'm lucky to get a full day.
But everything is super smooth, and it is absolutely beautiful, and the ability to change themes on the fly is amazing. I would agree, it's like a brand new phone to me again.
So is it worth it going from liberty 2.01 to liberty gb .9? I've been holding off because I finally got my dx to run nice with minimal random reboots. I'd love to be on 2.3 but If its still unstable I'll stick with this.

To the OP
Liberty .8 was good. I then went on to try other ROMs. I avoided APEX because of the bluetooth issue. Right now I am back on rooted 596. CM4DX blew up on me on build 23 and I have been staying away.
I'm trying to find out which ROMS do not have the in-call bluetooth volume issue. I am not getting very many answers though. I wish there was a list of ROM's that do not have the bluetooth issue.

Aosp battle!

Now, I know that cyanogenmod is probably the most popular of all the aosp roms however, that's irrelevant because this is about the evo, not other phones. So, in your own words, which rom is the best aosp rom for the evo? Excluding miui, because that's a different sort of aosp.
Thanks.

I tried SalvageMod, didn't care for it since I got FC's and there doesn't seem to be much updates.
I have gone between CM7 and Decks a lot. So much lately that I am driving myself nuts. I want to stick with one.
I like Decks because it is a slimmer version and runs better. It also doesn't have as much misc. stuff/apps with it.
I like CM7 because of the nightlies, which also gives me headaches because I am always flashing, then if something sucks I go back to a previous version, sometimes having to wipe, etc.
I am most likely going to end up sticking with Decks since it runs better for me, and so I don't get the urge to try out a new nightly. LOL
I am not aware of any other AOSP ROM.
Lets face it, if it werent for CM7 we wouldnt have most of the AOSP roms for this phone that we do. DECKS is the best IMO. Its CM7 but tailored specifically for the EVO. Its VERY NOTICEABLY faster. More clean. Cant go wrong with it.
My phone has never run better than with SalvageMod! Even Decks which held that place previously. There are some features that I miss but haven't looked back for a second.
Lithid is an incredible Dev, and has produced a unique build of AOSP that will stand out from the rest. He also supports it directly, meaning you will hear from HIM if you ask a question.
I have tried cm7, decks, savaged zen and OMGB. None have quite the edge of SalvageMod. However, OMGB would be my second choice but I like something a bit more custom.

I tried cm7 a while back and it was just OK for me( no disrespect, just my opinion). After playing around with a whole lot of sense roms I'm now looking for something a little different for a while...so I'm also interested in the slickest aosp rom.

I see what you did there.
I tried Salvage Mod briefly, but there were some little details that bugged me; the notification pulldown located at the bottom of the screen, lack of Theme Chooser, and a couple other minor settings not available.
It's the small details that makes or breaks a rom for me. Deck passes all the tests, and runs much better on my particular phone than the full CM 7.1
Homage and gratitude are definitely due to cyanogen.. Without his team, we wouldn't have many of the improvements available to us.

Its a toss up, using Decks rom atm but with any AOSP rom I get bad wifi reception unless I am right next to my modem. That's the only thing I can say for Sense roms is that the wifi connection is better, at least in my case.
I'll admit, I was a huge CM Fanboy and deservedly so it's probably one of the most developed and feature laden ROMs available. MIUI never appealed to me. But, there was always something wonky happening then once most of the bugs were ironed out and I actually used it often enough I got tired of ADW.
I started flashing frank707's .zip that removed some of the extra apps and especially ADW and replaced it with launcher2. Then Deck came along and did it for me with an even more optimized ROM. Somewhere along the way I flirted with SalvageMod 1.2.1 but had some stability issues that were caused by the SavagedZen kernel that I stupidly blamed the ROM for. Flash forward to last week, I finally tried out SalvageMod 1.4 and gave it an honest chance and I think it's probably one of the most well developed and stable/fast ROMs that I've tried so far. It's different from CM based ROMs if that's what you're used to but it's simplicity is actually refreshing. There's some features that I'd like to have added but it's nothing that makes the ROM unusable.
I say give SM 1.4 a real chance, I don't think that it (or the devs for that matter) get the recognition deserved.

Rom for wife?

Wife's phone is running .602. It's constantly slowing down and having randoms apps freeze. I was thinking about installing a custom rom but I don't want to be blamed later for it. Does perfection exist?

I'd say go for Vortex. I've gone through CM7, various versions of Miui, Liquid, Liberty, EncountersICS, etc.. Vortex is my favorite so far, everything just works without having to resort to a bunch of fixes and bandaids. After flashing a different ROM nearly every week for a couple months I am finally able to just leave it alone because I'm on Vortex. Been running it for about two months now, no problems.

I have been running the unoffical CM9 by jmztaylor since the first release. Has been the best for my phone at least and very good battery life. You should just try them out and go with the one that your phone has the best results with.
gummy worms is still a valid ics rom but you are gonna be lacking hardware accelleration (hwa) and camera/camcorder can work but also is being reported broken sooo yeah
the lastest of aokp is known for being full of reboots (but as a side note i have only had 1 reboot so far but has some graphical glitches with menu's but nothing to knock it down any so again beware it could be different on your phone) but b33 has been the strongest /most stable but is lacking the camera fix but there is a zip you can flash with it.
jamie has an ics rom with hwa but doesnt have the customization tweaks that you find in aokp but i have had ZERO reboots in my experinces there is a camera fix used in aokp will most likely work for you here to since they are based off the same (correct me if im wrong please)
decks i have little experience with the latest builds so i'll leave someone else to input on that
same iwth cm9 but its been comin to the party a bit later but i hear its stable and on its way to being a good daily rom for most and i think the camera works but no camcorder/panoramic(again correct me if im wrong please i havent run this particular one so im pulling that from memory of reading thread)
I installed the Unofficial CM9 and I was all good until its start freezing and rebooting

Swipers MIUI ICS is amazingly stable.
You can't beat it
I've been using Deck's builds as daily drivers for a while now not quite as many features as AOKP or CM9, but quite stable on my handset. YMMV of course.
With ANY of the ICS ROMs you're looking at feature incomplete alpha or beta level builds. So "stable" is a relative term.
Dark light version 3.5 has been the most stable on my evo, plus its all themed out in black and white.

KWIQ ICS is working for me
ben.nesheim mentioned jamie's rom, that is KWIQ ICS. I was running AOKP all through April and was liking the progress. I think after they added the HWA it got unstable for me on my phone so I ventured out and tried KWIQ. It just worked on my phone giving me everything I needed. I recently added the patch for the camera and now the only two things I am missing are front camera (would like to try Skype again) and 4g. I would be happy enough with this setup if this is all I ever got. I now have Chrome browser and all my apps I care about. I am one happy camper.
And Jamie has commented that he is making progress on an update to be coming out as soon as he feels it is stable.
AOKP here for a few days now. Everything works very well except Hulu and Netflix (haven't tried Youtube yet) and once in a while the camera app stops/freezes for a minute.
Everything else is butter.
In addition to the original question, do any of them have fully functioning camera (front and back) and camcorder?
I tried qwik ICS and it was stupid stable but didn't have working camera.
AoKP, run it on every device I have eexcept the photon cuz that POS is a pain to flash sh!t to so its stock rooted, but I have aokp on my Evo4g, kindle fire, Epic Touch 4g and my dads gNote

I've been using Lithium's MIUI rom and have also tried the Unofficial CM9. The MIUI rom has been stable for me and runs smoother then CM9.
Camera ICS in the Market will give you rear cam up to 8MP and video. None of them have FFC yet
aokp35 has been working great with the ics camera and will try camcorder in a bit

I've ran team D.I.R.Ts cm9 and it seemed pretty stable. Had no reboots at all. Switched back to digitalkarma because I like the sense look though.

The best ICS ROM I have used is Team D.I.R.T's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657892
Best ICS by far is jmztaylor's CM9 nightlies. He's now back up and running again, so we should see some quality stuff over the next few weeks.

Now that you have been reccomended every ICS rom for the evo. Lol.
My oppinion: Download teamdirt's cm9 and AOKP Milestone 5. (Milestone 5 can be found on the aokp website) Try out both roms, starting with AOKP.
Reason: I work using my phone for GPS and, on average, 15 calls and 25 texts a day. This means that if I flash a rom, it gets the full daily driver test.
That being said, AOKP was smooth, fast, battery efficient, and even easier to use And navigate. My only problem was random hot reboots.
Cm9 was somewhat choppy at times, but comparable to AOKP. NO REBOOTS!
Final verdict: Decks Reloaded. Lol. I couldn't decide so I went back to Gingerbread.
