2 Questions please

Is there a all (mostly) working ics from for the evo 4g?

Second, how do I know when I need to install a kernel? I'm running a CM9 nightly ICS rom right now. But I have no idea about kernels.

Thanks everyone!

1) Yes. Paranoid Android. 2) The ROM itself should tell you. 3) Flash the wrong kernel and you could go from as little of issues as a lag to as severe as a brick.

How do I know when I need to flash a kernel and when I don't? I rather not if possible, lol. Or did you mean the from should tell me when I need a new kernel?

You don't have to flash a custom kernel if you don't want to. All ROMs already have a kernel included. Some ROMs already have a custom kernel included. You have to read the information in the ROM/Developer's post.
Kernels allow for further customization (like overclocking the phone). Read before you decide whether you want to start flashing kernels because you don't need to if you don't want to. It is pretty easy, though

Here is a very good ICS rom - [ROM] Unofficial CM9 for Supersonic Nightlies - xda-developers

Developer is very good. The only things not working are 4G and FFC.

Thank you for making that so clear for me. I very much appreciate it.

This is actually what I'm using, the 072912 nightly. My problem with this is the camcorder is awful looking,when it works. Everything else is top notch on it though. I can't find the changelog though.
