Wondering if anyone has opinions on whether or not it's worth going to CM7 in its current state over CM6. Is it still really buggy even from the last update for Evo. Is it in condition to be used for 24/7 use like CM6 is?
not if you are needing or are able to use 4G. If you are in an area like me where there is no 4G yet I would say go for it. I love the latest build 7.0.2.1 for everyday with the timat kernel and I am really liking playin with the new virusrom gengersense. Virusrom almost has this rom to where it will be my everyday user.
Any large benefit from not using the stock kernel?
I have been using CM7 (current version 7.0.2.1) since the stable 7.0.0 was released. The recent version has fixed the GPS, but I cannot comment on the 4G as I don't have service in my area. I am using Savaged Zen, and really enjoy it. Gives you the abilty to overclock, better battery life.
Is there anything MORE stable than the stock kernel for CM7? Let me put it that way. Or something better on a ridiculous level in terms of real world use from a different level (don't care about battery life as long as it gets me through the day like CM6 does.)
They don't do much to the stock kernel. Customs will give you better battery life.. ussualy.

Tiamat kernel (3.3.8) has been great for me. As a whole CM7 stable has been just that, stable. I haven't flashed any of the updates since it dropped because nothing major has really been added / changed. Ever since doing the Sense fix I haven't had any GPS issues either.
I've been thinking about getting back on a CM 6.1.2 ROM just for kicks. CM7 battery just doesn't seem to touch what it was, no matter what I do. I know it's a 'step back' but I might set one up and make a NAND of it (deleted my old one) and see if I'm just making the difference out to be that much greater.
I'm not not happy with CM7, but I am wanting to get back on CM6 with the original Sculpted theme. I miss a lot of the little extras that have yet to be merged / added into CM7.
I had wakeup issues with the stock kernel - buttons light up, but screen remained black.
Bumping min cpu to 384 fixed this 99%, but I didn't want the cpu to be at that speed at all times.
Flashed tiamat 3.3.8, worked ok, but had bizarre reboots when using gps (never had stability issues with cm7 prior). After the reboot my 4g didn't work. Restored a sense rom that had wimax.img backed up, confirmed 4g working, then restored a stock cm7021 backup and installed tiamat 3.3.7. So far so good, and no black screen issues, even at stock speed (245 mhz). Also, tiamat seems to bump the incall audio a step loader than the included cm7 kernel. Ymmv.
You really need to test for yourself. Your device is likely to function better with one kernel than another.
Currently running CM 7 RC-2 seems to work good for the most part. 3G speeds seem to be the same as Fresh and Mikfroyo but man 4G speeds are slow. It's fast on the phone but tethered is slower....about 1.5-2 mbps slower than when tethered running sense. Also something new I have noticed is when I force the phone into roaming I normally only get 1X on verizon but I am now able to get 3G roaming....is this something new???

i have been running flipz newer rom with the new unreleased kernal and my battery life is AMAZING, I mean very very good. I was thinking about giving CM6 a try again with flashing the new v7.6 kernal thats supposed to be really good.
But I was wondering what people are getting with cm6 and the kernals as far as batt life.
Ive never personally flashed a kernal before so not sure on how well or how much they affect the phone or if its worth it.
any help? like as far as the best kernal for a CM6 rom and and reports on batt life comapred to the new leaked kernal
I'm getting better battery life on stock now, then I was on any other modded kernel (kings, cm6, and some others.)
Nand backup and give it a shot. It seems way to better to me than stock or even cm6 nightly with newest kernel.
also whats the difference between bfs and cfs roms?
i feel batt life with CM6nightly + snap7.6 in turbo mode is about how the phone was when it was first released...you can make it a day with light use, but using it a ton, i seem to get around 8-10 hours.
However...getting 2600+ in Quadrant and no lag, anywhere, ever...makes up for it. I'm always within reach of a USB port or wall outlet so i just carry the charger/cord around with me.
I haven't actually ran it from full to dead outside of work. However at work i constantly drop signal and regain it repeatedly for the 8~ hours i'm here.
Hey guys, I am not a noob to flashing roms or anything but I have been on the new Fresh for awhile and I really want to try out a new rom. I have been eyeing CM6 and Myn's Two Point Two. I was just looking for some input of those that are currently running these roms as to why I should switch from fresh?
Thanks
Fresh is a great ROM. There's no real need to switch unless you just want to try something new (which seems to be the case here). CM6 is a fantastic ROM and it's even better when you run it with a >>Snap kernel in Turbo mode. CM6 offers a very slim and stock Android feel. The only bad thing is no 4G (unless you don't care about that). Other things to note about CM6 is that HDMI is not available either. I don't know if they got the FM radio working yet either but, really, who the hell uses FM radio on their EVO? I mean I could see the uses but still.....
Anyway, myn's Warm ROM is *really* nice if you like Sense ROMs. The screen transition animations are kinda trippy at first but you get used to them. I also like how dark the theme is. We're talking pitch black notification bar, black/gray notifications - pair that with a black wallpaper and your phone is super-dark. The font that comes with it is real nice to me but I can see why others wouldn't like it. Thankfully, myn includes the stock fonts in the OP on his thread. I like Warm. It's different (to me anyway). Worth giving a shot.
I'm a flashoholic though. I'll probably switch to something new or old within a matter of hours That's just how it goes. You'll be happy with either Warm or CM6 but if you like Sense-based ROMs give Warm a shot. I think you'll be enlightened.

Wow, thanks man I wasn't expecting an in-depth explanation like you gave. I really appreciate it, and yeah I am pretty addicted to Sense unfortunately, everyone always bags on it though and says how its bogs down your phone etc. Thats why I was considering trying CM6. Does the Music Widget work for you on Warm? I had read that it wasn't working for some people and that was why I was apprehensive about switching. Also, what kernel would you advise to use with it. I have always been a netarchy guy never really tried out Kings too much.
The Music widget works for me. I've never had a problem with it. As for kernels, I'm with you man - Netarchy FTW! King's kernels are hit or miss for me. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I don't mean to sound like a **** but I don't have time for hit or miss So, netarchy 4.1.9.1 CFS is working just fine for me at the moment.
As for Sense, I like Sense too although sometimes I miss LauncherPro. Then I move to LauncherPro and then I miss Sense. Go figure. I'm never happy with these things for long. Just keep an eye out for my sig as you wander through the forums. It changes, like, every other freakin day.
haha will do man I appreciate all of your help, in that case im gonna head on my way to the Warm. Just curious though I tried to use the CFS on the Fresh Rom and I was getting boot loops like crazy. What is the difference in BFS and CFS that is the only thing I have never been able to understand with kernels.?
I am using myn's right now and is extremely quick for a sense rom. Battery life is great as well. I can go 16 hours on a charge with 4g always on. Best sense rom I have used to date. I am also a flash-a-holic, LOL.

CFS vs BFS..... they have to do with different CPU schedulers if I understand it correctly. Theoretically, you're supposed to get slightly better performance with BFS but it's been a little buggy on my phone (launch day, 002 hardware) and what's performance without stability? CFS works just as fine but, honestly, you're going to have to search for this answer on your own. King's kernel threads are where I found a really good explanation of the differences between the two and I remember it's how I decided CFS was probably best for me just for the life of me I can't remember what was said now that I think about it. Not all EVO's are created equal. For some, CFS rocks and for others it sucks. Same goes for BFS. Just try both and see how it goes. I'd start with CFS if I were you.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer! That's not usually my style
Well I appreciate all your help man, its not every member that is willing to give an in-depth response. Very rarely do you see that. So thanks a million for that man.
No problem. Just doing my part to pay it forward.
i just flashed a few roms tonight i have been using fresh but wanted to try a new one ive tried calks 2 virus roms and now warm i personally like it like a previous post its real snappy and my set cpu isnt even installed on my phone kings bfs 9 seems to work the best for me ive tried other roms with other kernels mixed and matched but im stuck on kings
What do you like better about Warm over Fresh?
Sent from my EVO
You just happened to mention the only three roms that I have ran for long lengths of time.
CyanogenMod:
I ran CM6 the longest and it is a very lean and snappy rom - it also got me hooked on LauncherPro. I really loved the customization ability of CM6 and it was a pleasant change from SenseUI. Also one of the biggest factors was it was the first Rom that I used with FPS unlocked. This is the only rom I used SetCPU with and everything ran stable and quick.
Having said that...
I found myself missing some sense widgets (LauncherPro paid version really addresses this but there is a smoothness in the sense widgets that it is missing). Also there is the issue with 4G and some quirkiness I experienced with CM6.
Fresh 3.2 and 3.3:
I flashed Fresh 3.2 and fell back in love with Sense. The new HTC kernel 11 came out and the FPS cap was gone (Fresh 3.3 I think). There was much I had missed from Sense - it is refined and just feels complete with everything (4G, camera, etc...) working properly. I can't hit the quadrant scores that I could on CM6 but I realized that I no longer cared about that. The rom was smooth and snappy. It did everything that I wanted it to.
Myn's Warm Two.Two:
I am currently on Myn's Warm 2.2 with HTC #11 and I'm loving it. For me, it's just about the looks of this thing. It's sleek and snappy with sort of a minimalist look. It retains the functionality of sense with a completely custom look and feel. The black themed keyboard fits so well with it - I really think HTC would have been better off with this design.
Conclusion:
Your real decision is do you prefer AOSP or Sense. I personally find myself enjoying the functionality of Sense more - however, I can totally see where others love AOSP. I love them both - but prefer the refinement of Sense and it is plenty smooth and snappy for me.
AOSP - CyanogenMod
Sense (stock look) - Fresh
Sense (custom look) - Myn's Warm
My Perfect Rom - SenseUI (including widgets) with LauncherPro launcher. Unfortunately for me, this doesn't exist yet
Note:
I know battery life is a hot topic and influences the rom and kernel that people select. I often wonder if it is hardware or application related because I have seen 24+ hour battery life from each of these roms/kernels. Some may have been a little better but the difference was negligible.
I don't really consider myself a heavy user - but not a light one either. Maybe I have just been lucky so far. I generally put my phone on charge every night (I've missed a night here or there) and I have NEVER gotten below 15% battery life - even camping for two days in airplane mode)
I decided to try out MIUI coming from Myn's. I didn't think I would stick with MIUI for very long, but it has been about a month and I'm loving it -- for the most part.
I'm running 1.1.28 (which is now pretty outdated, but I haven't felt like updating to the latest weekly) with the Savage 1.6 CFS-HAVS-WiMax. But I am averaging 25+ hours on my standard battery.
I'm tempted to go back to a sense rom, but I can't even imagine getting anything less than 25 hours again. I'm considering Mik, Myns or possibly just CM6/7. Anything that is quick, themed nicely and has 4G.
Anybody getting stellar battery life like that on any other ROMs?
I'm on the same build as you and it's amazing. My advice- stick with it until MIUI releases a big update.
If I turn off my radios(which I do with MIUI also) I can get insane battery life with Ava's.

Have you thought about moving up to the latest? I don't think there is any ROM comparable to 25+ battery life so I'll probably never go back to Sense or CM.... but I do miss the ability to use 4G, FFC, and all that good stuff. Hopefully CM get's that fixed and then MIUI can implement it too. Any bugs bothering you with 1.1.28? I can't tell if it's just my phone or the ROM.
Actually there's a mod for ffc on miui1.28 and 1.24

I don't have any bugs with this build- no FCs, no reboots. Everything works the way it's supposed to. It is easily the best MIUI build I have tried. I haven't flashed any of the later ones but I read that some people are having issues with certain things so I'm going to hold off until they add some awesome new feature and have the bugs that people are complaining about worked out. Right now, it's just not worth my while to update. My 3G speeds are plenty fast (1.25-1.5Mbps down) so I don't really care about 4g. When it comes it comes. I've never used the ffc, even when I was on Sense.
Try cm7 with savage kernel i get
Some insane battery life and that's with moderate use plus the nightlys got 4g running very fast and stable

does this break usb functionality? I flashed Savage and noticed it wouldn't work anymore. It does have good battery life though
Everytime I try MIUI, no matter which kernel I use, I get great battery life but I always have issues with the screen waking up when I press the power button.
With CM7 and the Savage-Zen CFS kernel I get the same battery life as MIUI, from morning until night with fairly heavy use and still around 40% left at bed time.
I have a 003 Evo and have tried multiple roms in this order: Stock rooted, OMJ, Fresh, CM6, Destroyer which had the best battery life.
I am tired of flashing roms and having to flash all these fixes and everything still doesn't work. With OMJ and Fresh everything worked but the battery life was nothing compared to Magnus' Destroyer rom. I really liked it for the battery life but I couldn't get the Satellite GPS to work and I had black on black text boxes. I like aosp roms like cm7 mainly because I can customize them more but also because they seem to get much better battery life. I usually use launcher pro in all the roms I've used also. I want a rom that has everything working that gets great battery life that is fast and one that I can use for a long time. I'm tired of spending so much time trying to get my phone to work and last all day. I've read a lot on the forums and please don't criticize me for asking for this help. I know many people have already asked this question. So all in all I guess I want and aosp maybe cm7 but i need everything to work I'd like to do hdmi mirroring and be able to do any other mods and really need it to last all day. I first rom I get a full day out of was Destroyer but it had some bugs. Can anyone help me, am I missing something? Please Please Please help me find a rom that suites my needs.
Thank you very much and if someone can help me get this going I will make a donation to them. I also live in Palm Beach FL if anyone near by wants to help.
Thank you very very much in advance.

Sense: Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5 -- Everything works. Downgrade the PRI from 1.90 to 1.77
AOSP: SalvageMod 1.2.1 w/Tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and LauncherPro.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
For Sense, I prefer Myn's RLS 5 or Calkulin's EViO 3, and also the MyTouch 4g port. Mostly, the MyTouch 4G because I don't care too much about Wimax.
For AOSP, I like either MIUI or Deck's ROM, with Tiamat 4.02. Battery lasts all day, 16 hours off the charger with moderate usage and I have at least 25% left.
Be sure to wipe battery stats and such between switching ROMs and kernels and such.
Try mine out...
Skyraider for evo 4g
Only thing that doesn't work is 4g because it was ported from the incredible which doesn't have 4g
Try out kings gb4 ultra beatdown or any kings gb with a tiamat kernel. 3.3.7 ws real nice for me. 18-24 hours on batery everything works. Fast smooth and reliable
Kings GB Destroyed EVO
try end of days with tiamat sbc kernel
first of all, all of the roms you tried are out of date.
quote form earlier post of mine:
ok, here goes.
first of all, yes this has been asked a thousand times per day, but people have fun answering them
sense roms are based off stock evo sprint software. if you like sense roms, you best choices will be:
myn's warm twopointtwo, for a smooth, themed, and slick stockish experiance, try this oldie but goodie.
mikfroyo, updated more often. optimized way over the top. i personally don't like the theme, and think if you want that speed go for aosp, but whatever. a bunch of people like it.
koni's elite. one of the newer good sense roms. good themeing. fast. optimized. everything else the other two have, just different...
aosp roms are based off stock google source code. they are not built for the evo (or until like 2 weeks ago, not built for sprint, cdma, or wimax) but have been ported exelently. these are much faster than sense, and about half the size. they have a different look, feel, and functionality though. they are based on gingerbread, not froyo like stock evo.
cm7 (cyanogenmod 7): simply the best. most other aosp roms based off of this. a gigantic project that spans across ~30 phones with ~24 official developers and many more unnoficially contributing to the open sourced code. fast, stable, WORKING 4G AND HDMI!!! (took monts to do those 2). everything works (except 720p video recording, but 480 is just as good). really, try this one first. nightlys are released every night, stables are not. you can see the very complicated changelog along with links here: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic
miui: based (sorta i think) off cm7. very iphone-like rom. built to have the best of iphone and android, with some added goodies. i persoanlly don't like it, but many swear by it. sorta a you like it or you don't thing. 4g doesn't work.
deck's: another cm7 based rom. basically slimmed down cm7. idk why you'd need to slim something already half the size of sense down further, but some people claim unreal battery life. 4g and hdmi also work cuz it's based on cm7
savagedzen rom: NOT built from cm7 (yes, this is a bragging right), very stock gingerbread, with lots of kernel tweaks. not based on cm7, yet 4g and hdmi work.
salvagemod: even more stock gingerbread. 4g works. not hdmi.
ports: the name explains it all. 4g doens't work for these, except the rare exceptions. virus is the one who's ripping out port after port after port recently.
a sense hd port: mik and myn both have one of these. froyo with sense 2.1. no 4g.
virus gingersense: sense 2.1, gingerbread. no 4g, but the rest is working.
virus kingdom port: based on an unreleased, unrevealed device called the htc kingdom. 4G WORKS. still in deep beta. sense 3.0, and gingerbread. sense 3.0 is pretty crazy.
so yeah. i personally use cm7 with tiamat 4.0.2 kernel and a modnation theme (whichever we r testing). try as many as u like. if you like it, make a backup.
btw there is a gps fix.

Bump to the top. Still need some suggestions and help from experts. I really like aosp roms can't see any reason to use anything else as long as all the phone functions work. I've.tried the latest cm7, EOD, and I'm currently on destroyer v2 which was giving me good battery life, about a full day of moderate to heavy use, buy am having problems I can't seen to fix even after searching everywhere. I still have black on black text boxes which sucks, my wirerless tether and usb tether doesn't work and I'm having a few other problems.
I would really like to talk to some people on the phone about my problems and questions if some one with lots of experience wouldn't mind doing that I would be happy to make a donation.

The black on black big is something that comes out if the themeing in the rom. Try latest cm7 with tiamat kernel. Should give you nice battery life. If you need more, undervolt as much as possible and underclock to 537.

hi evo owners, my girlfriend has an evo 4g and she is always complaining about how slow it is and how fast her battery drains. (she's a pretty heavy user)
so i come to you guys for help..
which ROMs are you running that are showing the best battery life i can get out this thing and are they stable for day to day use. (being as its not my phone and she knows nothing about rooting. i wont be able to follow updates as ofter as i do on my GSII)
Im just looking for a great stable build with the best battery battery life.
any and all input is really appreciated, thanks
I am using MokeeOS, right now. pretty much everything is working and getting good battery life. Based on gingerbread. see the forum below...

Swagged out stock is a clean fast Sense 1.0 rom that i've been using for months. There's a lot you can customize so you can get some better battery life. In general, the stock battery is what it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258932
I like any of the sense 1.0 roms for quickness, battery and responsiveness. Classic rom, Digital Karma, Nitrous. U use Set CPU and make a profile for screen off. Use power save governor if kernel allows so while locked it will only run at lowest speed. This is helpful on any from though. Hope this helps.
I feel more like I do now then I did then.
I've been jumping back in and forth with JMZ's CM9 ROM and Cyanogenmod's CM7. I never had a Sense phone, so this was my first. After being with the OG Samsung Moment for about 3 years, until the developers fled, I was so used the classic UI. When I was introduced to Sense, I never stuck on to me. Luckily, I barely got this phone this year, meaning most CM7 ROMs were stable with ICS at hand. If you a Sense guy, I would recommend the Classic ROM or the Nitrous ROM. Nitrous gives more of the original Sense experience, but the Classic ROM gives really impressive battery life. It has a lot of available tweaks to play with. My ONLY problem with the ROM is the boot sound LMAO. I never thought i could hear my phone be that loud.
I, too, am running jmz unofficial cm9, & it's great for me but maybe not for her. The issue with battery life, however, is not the ROM; it's more likely the screen & radios that are killing it. My solution has been two-part: using Juice Defender to customize data activity, & larger aftermarket batteries (ChiChiTec - Amazon).
ive been using most of decks roms lately, but if i had to choose a reliable rom it would be synergy. its a little outdated but everything works.
Digitalkarma v7 fast smooth and everything works
