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.

Im also giving it a try just out of curiosty.. Reminds me of SuperD by benbuchacher from his G1 days. Just wish it was updated to the latest CM Nightlies theres a lot of new features that I liked in nightly 54

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.

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

ROM advice

Can anyone suggest a good rom for my evo with gingerbread. Cheers!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

If you want a sense based gingerbread rom you will have to wait until a sense device gets updated to gingerbread. If you do not, I would go with cyanogenmod. I am in love with it, and the development team is top notch. They do great work.

As you can see I'm on evervolv. Great rom, you should check it out as well as shift deck.

This is the Evo *Shift* forum, btw. Assuming you have a Shift then CM7 is always awesome. Like AOSP but hate CM7? Then Evervolv or ShiftDeck. Sense fan? There's MikG, a very popular choice. The new OTA update to GB w/Sense 2.1 has been rooted already. And check out NFX's Kingdom port for GB with Sense 3.0.
Personally, I'm addicted to CM7 Nightlies =)

CM7 vs all other GB roms, opinions

I have ran evervolv in the past but have been running the latest versions of CM7 for about 4 months, I love all the customization options, but I do get some quirks, and random reboots etc.. occassional lag
I am wondering what you guys would recomend as far the fastest and most stable GB rom
Evervolv? Evo deck? MIUI? etc?

Well deck is just renamed cm7.

CM7 is ok, kernel that comes with it is horrible though. Nightlies are better than their stable release.

Deck has been extremely stable and I've had zero hiccups with it. Basically identical to cyanogen.

I agree with cares deck is extremely stable I really like it
but I love miui look
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Deck is awesome, much faster/reliable than CM has ever been for me. Though after moving to an area with no 4G I switched to MIUI and I absolutely love it.

Deck's is without question the best for my phone. I've kept it running longer than any other ROM.

Try again.
I'd love to use MIUI but the no 4G on it is a deal breaker Deck's has been a lot faster and stable than CM was for me on my Evo. I'd skip CM all together and just try Deck's if you want an AOSP ROM.

From my understanding Deck's is CM7 with everything stripped out except for EVO specific features/kangs. That may or may not make it faster, I dont know because Ive never used it, but that is my understanding of the difference.

I rock CM7 Nightlties...I get at least 1day 5hrs minimum now...lol

+1 to decks ...Neva had had reboot on it and GPS works flawlessly

Not necessarily true, it is majorly based off of CM7. If you read the post for the deck rom it has other things pulled from other GB rom's as well. It's certainly not just a "renamed CM7" because it works for me a lot better stability wise. He has also fixed a lot of things that CM7 hadn't. Not knocking the CM team whatsoever because we wouldn't have Deck's if it wasn't for them.

Just to add my two cents... I run cm7, I enjoy the bloat and custom settings. No, deck is not cm7. A lot of roms use stuff from cyanogen just because he and his team do so much work. However you have to give credit to Deck for his rom being a compilation of his own. Like it was said read the opening post for his rom and you will see.
If you want super clean basic gingerbread that you can do whatever customization you want go with deck. If you want gingerbread that has been tweaked and had included tweaks options go cm7.
I will give props to savaged zen here as well. Very similar to cm7, but not the same! I love the included kernel tweaks, no need for script but less customizable. It is awesome that a Dev would include a custom kernel specifically built around their rom.
Honestly we have such awesome choices for gingerbread and they keep getting better. Try them all and find out which suits your needs best.
EVO 0003, CM7 stable, Tiamat, Vipermod, V6 Supercharger.

someone sounds like a hater...
to OP:
I've been trying a lot of roms lately too. For AOSP, go with Decks 1.2. Its lightweight, fast and pretty awesome. If you want sense, do a search for Synergy Nightlies and you'll find what your looking for. Another good alternative is MikG 2.0

I've been rocking Deck since the pre release of 1.0. But in the last couple of weeks have been trying out the Sense 2.1+3.0 hybrids. After flashing MikG/Alliance, I haven't really had the desire to go back to AOSP.

I've had CM7 for awhile and today i had an important place to go to but the GPS was so spotty i couldn't get to it and i read this post and decided to flash Decks and i gotta say the GPS works flawless and the stability is just superb.

So what do you guys plan to run?

Warm 2.3 is being tested on the Evo 3D right now, we've got a new Runny Sense 3.5 from Mik and Newtoroot and crew, and there's Bliss somewhere out there being worked on.
It's going to be such a tough decision.. Do I want the speed of a Sense 3.5 rom or the amazing look of Warm?
What will you guys and gals do?

Everything I can.....ill pick the best as my daily. Been on mikg for a long time so im sure mik and roots runny will be up there. It will be quite a feat if they get 4G working

Personally, I've been happy with MIUI for the last few months, but I'm starting to look around for something to play with.
Until there's something with the built in customizations and functions that MIUI has though, I doubt I'll make a switch to a different Daily Driver...

I currently have MIUI as main and CM 7 as secondary using boot manager. Tried the new runny and is cool but I am happy with this two.

If MIUI ever gets working 4G that's where I'm headed

I like playing with MIUI, but until they get everything ironed out it's not my daily, I'm usually just on Synergy since it all works so well.

Right now I'm on Runnymede-Beta Sense 3.5. Been good to me so far

Agreed on this. This is the only reason I'm not running MIUI. Everytime I flash it, I find a reason that i need to use 4g a couple of days later and end up flashing back to CM7. However, if MIUI gets 4g, I'm hooked.

What other ROM but unity?

Hey guys,
What others roms are good but unity ? my phone doesn't last that much, battery goes down pretty quick without heavy use. no more than 14 hours .
Anything good non sense ?

Royal Ginger 3.0.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

Well, I've been using HoneySense 8 released a few days ago and battery life is incredible. Give it a shot maybe? UI is awesome. Has some quirks yet though' but it's stable. Only problems I've found is the innability to use front-facing camera in the stock app and well, what everyone is talking about in the thread, not being able to use wi-fi calling.
EDIT: OH sorry, if you're looking for anything other than sense, MIUI is my other choice. Used it for a few months back when I had a T-Mo G2/desire Z. I don't know the specs on how it works on the MyTouch 4g, but there's already an official release and some mods out there~ look em up.

my progression:
CM7, Unity, Royal Ginger and now MIUI
Loved Royal Ginger but I like the camera, messaging and dialer on MIUI so i'm staying with it. Plus you can sent MMS on WIFI with MIUI.

MIUI all the way. using the demonspeed mod and TDJ's kernel, its just awesome. great battery life(my best was 23hrs on a full charge), performs very well, and has many themes for customizing. check it out

Derek offers a excellent ROM, and he's quite helpful with your problems(unless you're rude), but besides that it's my top recommendation.

but i think MIUI is unstable sometime
especially when im playing music ,it break down and i just cant shut the power down since it doesnt response ,the only way to solve is to remove battery

My first rom was virtuous unity(sence3.0).. great one! then I tried virtuous doubleshot(sence3.0) and now using MexDroidmod (based on Cyanogen?) Fast and good battery life. Now I need to figure out what next lol
