Looking for MY Perfect ROM

[midmofan]

OK, hav played around a bit, but still looking for my perfect ROM. Here's what I'm searching for

-increased speed
-ability to get rid of bloatwear
-battery life improvement
-sense
-works easily with rom manager
-everything works (camera, 4g, etc)
-stable
-mature: I'm not a daily flasher so don't want to have to update constantly.

So what does everyone think?

Also, if I decide to go without sense, what's the choice then?

I would say the top three would be (in no particular order)

• Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo
• Calkulin's EViO 2
• Sprint Lovers

Having Sense as a requirement does limit you a fair amount. AOSP ROMs typically require less processing overhead.

you have to try Vaelpak 3.2

Jim Vaelek has put massive amounts of work into this ROM. it is a one man show so there is alot of one on one attention if you need it. I used to flash alot, when I landed on this one I knew I wasn't going to flash anymore. it is the best of both worlds with some sense but minimal bloatware. there is even a Vaelpak settings which allows you to build themes from within the rom. plays well with clockwork.

shoot over to Vaeleksplace and peruse the forum, it is EVO only so you know everything you are reading pertains to your phone. hope you like it.

Where is vaeleksplace?

Edit: ok found it, but it looks like most recent build abandons sense for most part. What is the rom like now?

Sent from my Evo - so there!

I used Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo and I can confirm that it was a great Rom.
I'm also looking for everything he mentioned including Gingerbread.

Vaelek really is heck of a guy, and besides being awesome at deving he is a cool dude. Much respect, definitely suggest his rom to anyone and i know some GB is coming from him.

Right now it sounds like the OP wants a close to stock but tweaked and stable rom. Id suggest the latest fresh rom [ROM] 06/11/11 | Fresh Evo 4.1.1.0 | Gingerbread 2.3.3 | Official Gingerbread Update - xda-developers

Vaelek's Place - Unreal Portal

is the best out there

If you want an awesome sense experience, wait for myn, virus and many others to finish Synergy Rom. Sense 2.1 w/ 3.0 goods..I'm running the nightlies and it's..how you say..Awesome!

I am going to flash this soon, when I get a chance. I've read good things about it.

For the OP:

Do you want Gingerbread only? The Froyo ROMs are very stable (at least the ones I've flashed).

Best bet is to test them yourself. What one person says is perfect, another might not like. Each has their own likes/dislikes.

Also, ROM Manager is not reliable for flashing ROMs. I'd stay away from it

Watched the video of Synergy and that looks like what I may be looking for! I don't have an invite for the nightlies, so will have to wait. Any idea what the release eta is?

What invite? I downloaded from the forum.

Do not post any links to the synergy rom here, it is still in closed testing stages. Wait until myn and the team makes it a open beta.

I am using MikG found here. [ROM] - [MikRoms] - [6/7/2011] - MikG v1.03 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0 - xda-developers
I really like the sense 2.1 + some 3.0 features. Also it seems very stable to me. you should check it out, I highly recommend it.

 

[midmofan]

Thanks for all the suggestions, does GPS work on the ones mentioned?

But since this is your favorite, doesn't that make this fall into the same category of "other's favorites" to the OP? Just say'n...

eVoKINGS makes really good Sense ROMs too.

[KingsROM][Alliance ROM] [Version r6] [Sense 2.0] 2.1+3.0 6/12/11 " A Step Up " - xda-developers

 

[JustSomeDudeHere]

I second the vote for MikG, but that is getting constantly updated right now.

But if you want rock-solid stable and fast, you can use his 2.2 rom, MikFroyo --- and I'd recommend adding one of his themes.
