[Q] What is the most bare-bones, vanilla ROM out there? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just need the basics, nothing flashy, etc..
Working 4G is preferred since I actually have the service.

i would try azrael x v4 its looks just like stock, but it includes a few tweaks of its own, its pretty fast, small on size and very stable, just remember to do a nandroid backup before flashing, if you have titanium backup i would back up all my apps with it too, for easy restore, then wipe data and caches before you flash new rom, and you are ready to go, almost forgot i also use mybackup to back up my contacts and stuff like that

try Stock Turbo
it's so minimalist that u will have 400MB+ after fresh flashing

I agree, however, the OP did state he wanted the most bare-bones rom.

Barebones as in everything works (4g, GPS, etc..) and isnt even running Sense.
Something as close to "stock" Froyo or Gingerbread.

I have been enjoying eVoKINGS ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887882
And used this method to get the GPS working best. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12360284&postcount=607
And have tried CM7, now trying Salvage Mod... I think I've tried Salvage before.
Also I change ROM's about every 3 days... and looking for a solid AOSP Rom, so I'm with you here...

Can anyone post some screenshots of the CM7 theme? I cant seem to find anything, nor do I want to filter through 400+ pages of the CM7 thread.

Which CM7 theme?

All of them? I didnt realize there was more than 1.
How many come with the "stock" ROM?

Well CM7 uses the new TMobile theme engine so there are a bunch of basic themes for it and some are done more so than others. Like Sculpted uses some different icons for the status bar and not sure how deep the themeing goes when you get deeper into it but I think more so than most. Some just take the GB Green and jazz the colors up and some stand alone themes do more 'drastic' themeing. Ill pop a pic up of the cyan themed CM7 you can see stock icons and status bar colors are changed. There are quite a few though so I would suggest you hit the themes section and start checking em out. Some are in the market and are part of the theme engine, I think there are still some that are stand alones but I may be wrong.

The dev thread "yet another aosp gingerbread ROM" has a link to a ROM that's in between Salvage-Mod and CM7. Still has the tweaks of CM7, but uses the stock launcher instead of ADW. Salvage-Mod is the closest to stock though, I think.
There are tons of themes for the t-mobile theme engine on CM7, so you're going to have a hard time getting screen shots of all of them. Easiest to just flash CM and try them out.

There is the link to the thread I was talking about. I ran it for a few days, it's very stable.
As far as VaelPak, it is an awesome ROM, one of my favs and a must for anyone looking to try something new. However, IMO it's about as far as you can get from a bar bones ROM.

I guess what Im really looking for is the barebones Gingerbread theme. And then, along with that, a pretty stripped down, only the essentials, ROM.

I recommend Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo RLS-5.

If you want a stable rom, stay away from aosp and the new sense 3.0 roms. They are all ports, which means not everything will work correctly. The most stable roms are the sense froyo roms, like Myn's and mik.
Running Deck's 1.2t with Tiamat 4.0.4 kernel. It's AOSP and gingerbread based... and everything works.

I'm not ripping on CM7, actually I've been running it for 2 months now. I was just saying, its not 100% stable, and that's what it sounds like the OP wants. I still have gps bugs every day, random lockups, keyboard disappears and wont return until i reboot. All are minor issues to me, but to some people that may be a turn off.
I use godmode and GPS fix and the super charge script. I have no problems. none.

CM7 is definitely not 100% stable like the OP seems to want.
Best bet is try different things and see what you like.
Cm7 with tiamat 4.0.4 SBC works fine with me. I haven't had any issues that I would notice...I'm one of the lucky ones I guess I might give that supercharge script a shot later...

why decks? he said he has been using CM7 already.
If you are looking for something different, try MIUI rom with tiamat latest kernel. Great combo, real smooth also

MIUI is good for newbies, simple and clean. No 4G though. I use StiffSpliff's port on http://www.miui.us and I love it.
Currently running Deck's ROM. It is a slimmed-down CM7 with tweaks. A lot of fun, I must say, and he is a great dev and always willing to help.
Sense... bloated. But GingerAle works well, if you don't have a Novatech screen (full brightness issue). Sense 3.0 is still too buggy, until we get a source code release from HTC.
My eye is on the Droid X port....

I remember you As for roms, if you want to update prl, you nees to be on a sense rom. All 2.2 based roms work, myn's 2.2 is worth credit, along with kings' roms. As for sense 3.0, virus' port is good, but like all 3.0 sense roms, they still have their bugs.
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
If you like sense 3.0 you might want to give MikG a go. It is sense 2.1 but has the 3.0 lockscreen with working icons and 3.0 mms. I have been running for a week now and and haven't had any problems at all. 4g, wifi, sms, mms, internet, all good on it.
End of days for aosp koni elite series 3 for sense

I just want try a couple different roms I didn't say I didn't like CM7. The only bug I have had with CM7 is GPS issue and I know there is a fix I just haven't tried yet. Anyway why is there always one it the crowd who has nothing to contribute but must post anyway! I have heard about a rom that Myn's and Virus are working on together is this true? I am going to give Myn's try.Also what about Salvage-Mod is it pretty stable? Thanks Again!
salvage mod 1.2.1 is flawless. Everything works and the video / camera are better than any others. Ran it for over a month without a hickup.

OMG, I'm SO Confused

So, I'm bored with my setup, interested in the Ginger-Sense new builds, but wtf???
I have NO clue what's what....
There's MIK'S, EVOZones (based on Mik's, I guess), Deck's... Synergy, but I can only find a thread in the Incredible section..... Too much to read, too much to digest, my brain is melting
Man, I don't want to flash 6 different ROMS. I just want one that makes a good driver....
I'm leaning toward Mik's 1.01, but I guess there's no power widgets in the taskbar pull down, and I need those... (but he has great themes, man!!)
i'm suggesting deck's rom. been running it for about a month now since i switched from cm
Which aspects of ginger sense appeal to you? Might help us be able to narrow it down for you
That's the problem. I don't really KNOW the different aspects and trying to read the treads is an exercise in futility
miks 1.01 is definitly a daily driver, NO DOUBT! yes thier are no power widgets but you do have the toggles, im sure if enough people request it the good people at mikmik will surly take a dive into it for you.
I had the same problem before I started doing my own dev stuff. Someone requested the skyraider rom to be ported, and since I.made that port, its fulfilles my "what I want from my rom" mental battle.
I couldn't decide if I liked the functionality of sense or the customization aspects of aosp more...and skyraider turned out to be the perfect (and as far as I know, only) hybrid that met both of my requests.
Swyped from my SkyRaider Port
Been running synergy for the last two days and I have to say that its the best ginger sense rom I've ever run.......visit infectedrom.com for more info.......
I ended up flashing Mik's and it's great... just 1 big issue; People Apk FC's....

Thats the thing about android; so many different flavors (fragmentation) and you flash them all leaving you bored out your mind. If we had 1 OS like apple/wp7 we wouldn't get bored because there's nothing to flash lol. Try the windows phone 7 launcher (launcher 7) in the market over your current rom it will keep you busy for a little.
just a suggestion, now might be a fantastic time to try cm7, the rom that u fear most (lol)
I ran CM7 for a long time....
I'm really more interested in the Gingersense ROM's. Other than this people.apk problem, Mik's is friggin' sweet!

Introducing Magnolia for the Incredible 2. This is a mostly Sense 2.1 Gingerbread ROM with a few 3.0 elements added. It has many customizations and features to make you phone visually appealing and convenient to use. I sincerely hope you enjoy the ROM!
Features
Based on the Official 3.02.605.1 OTA;
Uses jcase's OC kernel;
Added Sense 3.0 lockscreen, USB connection menu, and camera (thanks to newtoroot for his ROMs, whose ROMs I pulled apart to learn how to get these to work);
Matte sense skin ("Magnolia" in skin picker), most of the "shiny" elements of sense UI have been matted for a more refined look;
Modded Friendstream, News and Twitter widgets to replace the (imho) hideous stock ones;
All apps Rosie button opens Maxim's AppFolders, a truly customizable and usable app drawer replacement (stock app drawer version available at bottom of post. Just backup and flash the zip. It's nothing fancy now, but I will make it pretty & depaginated soon);
Extra settings enabled in Quick Settings menu;
Right button mapped to browser (more mappings to come);
4-in-1 power menu;
Location and ADB statusbar icons hidden;
Percentage battery mod by chrisDDD;
Recent apps bar hidden and notifications pull down themed to fit Magnolia skin look;
Custom dialer
Speed and stability tweaks for smooth, snappy and stable performance;
Most apps commonly considered bloatware removed, with some handy apps added (e.g., Netflix, Google Voice, Astro, XDA, ROM Manager);
Removed HTC Car Panel and added Google CarHome;
Mor I am sure I forgot and much more to come...
Known Issues
The kernel defaults to 1.6 ghz, if you experience lockups, please use a CPU control app to turn the speed down. The next release will default to 1ghz.
Some elements still need to be themed.
Installation Instructions
ATTENTION: This ROM has been tested by me and others, but, like all custom ROMs, it mat have bugs or other issues I do not know about. Accordingly, you flash the ROM at your own risk, and I accept NO responsibility for any consequences that may arise for you, your phone or others as a result of flashing and/or using this ROM.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM;
Download Magnolia here: http://bit.ly/ncZeck
Do a full wipe (factory data reset and format cache). If you do not perform a full wipe, you may experience bugs/issues, please do not post them;
Flash via ROM Manager or CWM Recovery;
Reboot and let it load up;
Go to menu-->personalize-->skins and select "Magnolia" skin and apply;
Enjoy!!!
While this ROM runs fine without a CPU manager, you need one to overclock. I use SetCPU at 1.267/245.
Leave feedback if you encounter bugs, things that can be improved.
Thanks & Credits
rmk for his stock ROM;
jcase for the kernel;
chrisDDD for the battery icons;
Maxim for his wonderful AppFolders program;
newtoroot for his ROMs, which I pulled apart to learn how to integrate the Sense 3.0 elements;
Adyenalyn for his ROM, which I pulled apart to figure out how to setup the extra Quick Settings;
If I forgot anyone, it was unintentional, and a PM will see the situation remedied...
Hope you enjoy the ROM!

Oh man... coming from the Inc I missed this. So glad to see it being ported over!

Looking for a new ROM

Currently I'm running Cyanogen 7 and I previously ran MIUI
As newer and newer version of the ROM came out I started getting more and more FC's and random reboots and I'm honestly getting real tired of it. I'm looking for a striped down light ROM that runs fast on the droid inc. I don't need any special features...light and clean.
Suggestions?

Why not just go with the stock rom, rooted, or one of the stock based roms. Its light, quick, and reliable.

Yeah thats up to date. I sugest stock + or touch of blue. Both stock based off of the latest ota, both fast, and both reliable. Or as i said before use stock ota and remove all the bloat you dont want your self, thats the joy of being rooted.

I'm currently using pons cm7.2 incredible builds and its the best Rom I've ever run on my dinc. I've ran almost every Rom and personally I can't stand Sense. But if you like AOKP Roms this is the one to use.

I was looking through the thread for this ROM and I don't see a features list, do you have a link for it?
You might want to look at Bugless Beast. I've not spent much time with it, but it is very fast compared to CM 7.1
DInc with CyanogenMod 7.1
Yes its right here. Pons cm7.2

I looked through the link and unless I'm totally overlooking the post or link to it, I don't see where he types out the features of the ROM...like custom lock screen, integrated screenshot...etc

You have to go through the commits. See what's merged and what's experimental. Pons usually doesn't release change logs/features lists. Cause its all cm7.

I've had great luck with GingerDeck but it's a bit out of date since the Dev is working on ICSdeck (which is almost there, but still not stable enough for daily use as I found out). Now I'm running Condemned, which has been updated several times recently (last time being yesterday). I find the ROM very clean and stable.
Mikrunny is okay if you like sense 3.5 slowness and prettiness.
Mctwist sense 2.1/3.0 is nice if you can find a link.
Latest CM nightly for me. I try every rom, always find myself coming back.
here is an almost fully working miui v4 rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1509512
yes that is an ICS rom, pretty nefty the camera isnt working completely right and there are a few bugs but works pretty well for a beta =]

[Q] How do I "unsluggish" my epic?

I've rooted my epic with the rooted fc09 stock rom. Put a couple of tweaks in build.prop and tried the supercharger script, which was a disaster so I restored a back up. I've tried different launchers (twlauncher was fine, to be honest, but ended up with the FC problem that everyone evenetually gets) like Go and now FTL and ADW. But everything is really laggy and sluggish and it's really frustrating.
Didn't realize how little memory this thing has so it hovers in the 50-100mb free range, but I don't think that should be the problem right? I know it wasn't like this when I first got it and I've checked what's running and not a lot (I already killed the drm stuff, although I'd love to know how to get rid of media hub).
It seems the stock rom should be able to perform okay - this isn't a majorly used phone (facebook, messaging, web are pretty much everything it's used for), so, at least for now, I'd just as soon stay on rooted stock vs a new rom. And upgrading isn't happening for another 8 months. So...any suggestions or pointers from anyone??
Thanks!
My other Epic was very laggy with ADW so put Zeam on it and hadnto redo my GFs homescreens exactly the way they were....or else...lol.

Have you tried the Peoples ROM it is stock rooted but on MTD? Your sluggishness and FC almost sound like EXT4 unstable issue with battery pulls ect.

Haven't tried any other roms yet, but I'll be damned if the ICS review doesn't look amazing. If I was going to jump, I'm thinking that might be where I'd go. Any quick big gotchas there?
I was also curious if you could expand on the ext4 unstable comment? Haven't had to do any battery pulls until after the supercharger script (don't know if the battery pulls are cause or effect in your comment). Also, I probably should have mentioned that this is BML stock (I realize I would have to "convert" to go to any other rom).

The battery pulls caused the unstable effect on EXT4 which was the knock on it. Not sure if you are on EXT4 or not pure stock is RFS. Beware of any ICS ROM's battery life isn't the greatest so if that is important to you avoid. They have come a long way with mods etc. but still can be a hassle. If you really want to jump from stock may I recommend CM7 great battery life and super smooth and fast
EDIT:
Just remember something about journaling on EXT4 off caused the unstable issue and on solved it? I think I still have the zips let me know if you want to try but you need to find out if you are EXT4 or RFS there is a command you can type in terminal but i can't seem to locate it at the moment.
Cm7 is really nice but I prefer ics to it, cm9 is really smooth and has almost if not everything is working, aokp has a lot of features and I prefer it over cm9 except the later builds have been sluggish for me. Right now I'm on paranoid android and its awesome, but its only on alpha right now so if you want everything working go with cm9 or aokp, or cm7.
I find the stock rooms were all sluggish though but I haven't tried one since ei22 so my opinion might not count there. Try em all qbking77 has easy to follow guides and if you find one you like stick with it
As much as I preferred the ICS of CM9, for pure speed CM7 under Gingerbread with Zeam launcher was my sweet spot for maximum speed.
Don't know if it was the wipe, the switch to MTD, or the switch to The People's Rom, but it performs much better now actually.

I vote all of the above but my first guess would be The Peoples Rom LOL.
I agree. I was on CM9 from its alpha days up until Beta 4. Amazing ROM, but it was never as speedy as the last MarcusantRom I was on prior to ICS. I closely watched the development of TPR by Kenny as I stuck with CM9. Performance was good, though it was slower than I wanted. Then I started getting annoying FCs on apps and would have to restart them. Plus I was on an old PRL and EI22 and wanted to update to FC09. So I decided I would make the jump back to GB, hoping to get back my speed.
Short story long, TPR is by far the quickest and snappiest Rom I've ever used. Not as feature rich as others may be, but I think that's a plus, because it has all the necessary tweaks to make it fly. And that's the beauty of Android. You can customize it to your heart's content.

Let's see!
I know you're working hard on it... I'm just being impatient.
