I recommend flashing every rom/port and see what you like the most, everyone has different taste and just find one to your liking that's what I did. I been running "SkyTouch" over 3 weeks now, and like that McDonald's slogan goes, "I'm loving it"
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”
CyanogenMod 7 7/29 nightly seems pretty fast to me, but it's all a matter of opinion.

if you want Sense, go for Android Revolution HD
if you want AOSP, go for Cyanogenmod 7
i would stay away from ICS and JB if i were you

This is dead on. For raw speed, full functionality and few frills (as far as eye candy) go with CM7.2. Flash thederekjay's CM7 kernel, use smartass or darkside governor, and don't worry about a thing.
The only thing I like a little more about miui is that the message app has the pop up feature built in

Agreed. However, all the extra MIUI features do bog the ROM down ever-so-slightly. I'm sure someone will argue with me on that, but they'll be wasting their time.
Don't get me wrong. MIUI is AWESOME and tons of fun to customize. OP might want to consider flashing it as well. If you don't like the look, download a different launcher.
Speaking of launchers, I recently purchased FTL launcher. I'd recommend it to anyone. The pro version has some amazing features, like changing android animation speeds (sliders) and applying adw, go and launcher pro themes, and is screaming fast.

Can you elaborate on "use smartass or darkside governor"? I have CM7.2 and am not familiar with the rest of what you posted here and would like to try this if I can get more speed.

No rom has the "best" battery life. It varies from phone to phone and has more factors than just the rom itself. Optimal battery life is something you kind of have to toy around with yourself to achieve, but cm7 has given me and many users here some solid battery life. As for governers, look up no-frills CPU control in the play store and adjust your governor from there.

Yes it does. If someone is using a ROM other than CM No-Frills is a good choice.
Also, undervolting helps, if your chip can handle it. Use incredicontrol (play store) or oc/uv beater (xda) for that.

Yeah but I never used the Cyanogen settings for cpu. I forgot who it was (twas a while ago), but they recommended using another app to do so rather than the settings in CM7... Though I don't know if I even read it right; I wasn't developing at the time so I wasn't as knowledgeable and I haven't used CM7 since ICS became stable enough for me to use.

Lol. I've only compiled the aospx kernel the way existz has his set to compile (only minor change is mine works for our phone); any of the cm10 ports with the kernel I compiled in them have modifications elsewhere (i.e. ram disk)
This is why I posted what I did in random comments.
All of this misinformation makes it seem like I know a thing or two about kernels haha...when I'm still kinda learning.

in cm7 settings or if you use an app like SetCPU you can adjust the governor one of the governors that estallings15 has suggested, just be sure to use Darkside kernel for CM7 if you want to use the Smartass or Darkside governors.
I use the same configuration (cm7 and darkside kernel) and i get great battery life and a nice, fast, stripped down ROM.
I hope it helps.

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.

If you must have sense 3.0, try flashing the evolvedrom r3chargeD... I'm running it and its great, however I am also seeing a lot of people that like the new king ROM.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Do you want it themed or not?
Synergy and MikG are both Sense 2.1 + 3.0. They are probably a couple of the most popular ROMs, if not the most. Quite personally, I like MikG more than Synergy. Feels faster to me, and I've been a big Mik user since I started with my Evo.
Right now I am running EVOlvedROM r3chargeD, which is based on Mik3D, which is based on the HTC Evo 3D. So it is full Sense 3.0, themed and I love it.
Kernel, I use Lithid's Freedom kernel. Aggressive-Freedom Universal.
Links to my setup provided in my signature.
Partition your SD card to offload some weight from the phone itself: DELETES EVERYTHING OFF OF THE CARD SO BACK IT UP.
As far as themed I like the look of stock sense and i'll check those out. how fast is that kernel and what is the safest oc? (i only have my phone till I get home) thanks

Overclock depends on the phone. Some are more picky than others. Personally, I underclock because my phone still flies and it saves me some battery life.

MikG
Mik3D

Max safe overclock... the highest shown in SetCPU is 1228800. I overclock while charging (only time I ever do) and usually I put it at 1113600
I have an Evo and a Nexus S on Boost and I love the ASOP roms...I have CM7 and love it on my Evo...just my opinion..
Thanks I'm going to try the mike 3d first. It looks like there are a lot of different options for rooting revoked ect. What do you suggest? And I switched from the nexus s so I could have sense not dissing cm I just love sense and htc.

If your phone has Gingerbread on it, then you will have to root with Revolutionary. Look in development for that
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Just finished rooting my Evo 4G for the first time and was wondering about the different ROM available. I haven't rooted since i had my Hero a year ago. I had fresh on my Hero and loved it. However I mainly use launcher pro and wanted to get away from a sense based ROM as I wanted to use full HDMI out and bluetooth HIDS and from last time I heard a bug in sense prevented this..is this still correct?? I was looking toward CM7.
So does anyone have any recommendation to start off with?
Thanks,
-Stephen
Sense does have the broken Bluetooth stacks, yes. So AOSP-wise? Whenever I actually use AOSP, I use MIUI with latest Tiamat kernel. People complain about no 4G and how it looks like an iPhone, but it is so customizable and it has some great devs.
Other than that, I would suggest SalvageMod or Deck's.
MIUI>SalvageMod>Deck's. All with the latest Tiamat.
But I am a Sense guy, so you know.... Full HDMI mirroring works on Sense with latest Freedom and Chopsuey kernel, if you are interested.
And if you need a refresher, check out my guide in my signature. It is written for Sense but it should apply universally.

I'm gonna start w/ CM7 stable. A few quick questions. What would be the best kernel to go with this. Something to increase battery, trickle charging.
Also do i need to flash a radio with this??
I went with Decks. From what I read it is a striped down version of CM7. What are the main differences? whats has been removed?

If you're referring to the stock MySense rom...yes it sucks ass. But Sense in general isn't bad, but highly bloated. I agree with the others on CM7 and Faux's GB rom(Faux's is as close to pure AOSP as you're gonna get), but CM7 is more updated

This being covered time and time again in many different posts over many different threads almost warrants no answer but ill give you one and here it is
try them all flash one per day till you find one that works for you the way you like it everyone uses their phone differently so no matter what you will get different results than i do or the next person that post on this
It's really up to you, try them out and see what you like the best. I've tried all 3 kernels currently out right now and they all work pretty good. The two I usually stick with are shadow kernel and the samurai kernel. Shadow kernel is nice and makes everything feel real snappy. You can overclock to 1400 mHz and the battery life for me is good. The newest shadow, tanto, overclocks to 1500 mHz and works with voodoo control. Haven't gotten the chance to really test battery since it just came out but so far it runs pretty good. Just test both of them out, you can always flash over another kernel.

Stock is always going to be the best for wanting nothing but the simplicity.
Put it like this when i buy a car, i put bigger tires on my car for grip, and better handling. But i know i will loose some gas mileage but not alot.
I'll put a turbo and some internals into my engine to gain in power but will loose gas.
But if we can put bigger tires and a bigger turbo but still have the same gas results as stock, Then why not do it?
We all benefit in one area and thats why custom kernels are there for those who want options that stock doesn't provide.
Stock= Base Model
Custom = Fully Loaded
Simple as that. So everyone should try different kernels and then reply not saying oh this is the best. But say IMO i prefer this over that simply because of these reasons. Everyone will want a specific kernel because one may like different things about the different kernels
