What ROM and kernel (if available) are you running and why? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am just curious to what ROMs and kernels you are running and why you like it over others?

i would have to agree with this guy ^^^
SS v5 is the best rom hands down, dopest dope you've ever smoked
I get at least 40+ hours of moderate use, and only have to charge every other day.

CM7 nightlies Scary Kernel Stable because it's the fastest most up to date rom with the best battery life.

Mik 1.6, smooth and functional... no custom Kernel as of yet though.

I run a newer cm7 nightly. I used to run shift deck which is really close to stock AOSP which is what I want but it hasn't been updated in ages so I went with CM7 which does have a few bells and whistles (some call it bloat) on top of stock AOSP like ADW launcher and a few things like that but for the most part it still feels like an AOSP rom and you can very easily set it up to look and feel exactly like AOSP.
I am using the stock kernels that come with the roms now. They have overclock options and seem fine. I have used scary stable but didn't notice any difference so I don't bother any more.
I really like Sense roms as I feel they are more fluid mostly when swiping between home screens but I cannot stand that there is about a 5 minute timer on the notification light before it shuts off even if you haven't cleared the notification. I rely on that light while I am at work so I have to stick with an AOSP ROM that flashes the light indefinitely until I clear it. I can also set the light to flash orange or green depending on which notification I am receiving which I find handy for text messages which I place a larger priority over than say a Wordfeud notification while I am at work
I usually do one cycle of charge fully, wipe battery stats, discharge completely until phone shuts off then recharge fully whenever I flash a new ROM and I haven't noticed any better or worse battery based on which ROM I have used.

How's battery life on Mik 1.6???

I personally would not choose SSV5 due to the issues ive had, and MikG ive had great luck with just didnt like the not wifi issue i keep having on any rom.

What exactly are you waiting on? Do you mean you just haven't rooted? Because you can now Root GB Shift's by downgrading to Froyo. Check HERE and HERE. Either of those threads will get you rooted if your on GB . As for MikShifted G v1.6 by aamikam, it is an excellant Rom . You should also check out Supreme Sense V5, by strapped365. It's based off MikShifted G , with a lot more eye candy . Both of those are Smooth, Stable, and quick. I have both of those running on serveral different devices with NO issues. Still waiting on the Source Code Kernel to be able to overclock. But both of those run excellent without being overclocked ( this coming from a SPEED Junkie ) .

Couldn't agree with you more both MikShifted G and Supreme Sense V5 are great running roms and cant wait to run these roms overclocked

SupremeSense V5 with the stock/default SenseUI theme found on the Mik forums
Reason why is for SenseUI 3 w/ 3D launcher effects

I switch between mikrom 1.6 and shiftdeck 1.2.1 with x99 kernel.
i was using scarystable but the usb disk access wasn't working

Miui Rom and stock kernel that came with it.
Reason: tried something new and needed something fast and customizable

I'm not saying scary stable is bad. But for MY shift
Scary average battery temp - 136°
PershootV9 average - 101°
Big difference. That's when im actually using my phone, i multitask a lot.
Scary kernel - while playing my game online ill lose connection about once every 5 minutes
PershootV9 - never lost connection once, only like 2 or 3 lag bumps
Battery life for appears to be about equal give or take maybe an hour.

I'm on cm7 nightly 30 and loving it. Just checked and the 31 was released yesterday. I've noticed a huge increase in battery life and performance, especially without ADW Launcher and just using stock Gingerbread's instead.
I'm using the CoreDroid theme. It has excellent battery life and its smooth and fast. In the 4.8 update I noticed it had bast wifi signal pickup. Once they fix it ill recommend it

Leedroid or CM7

I agree w charlieb Leedroid is way to go
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
It's kind of a personal choice. I like RCMix, Coredroid, and Leedroid. I am currently hooked on Di11igaf's ROM, though. It's all about what you like, so just give them all a try and see what you prefer.
Depends on what you like, either be performance or look, I really like the sense UI, but I also love a fast phone, I have tried Coredroid, Android revolution, stock and Cyanogenmod 7, so far Android revolution seems to be the most stable of all, Coredroid had several apps force close and CM 7 was acting weird tried several flashes and all ended in reboot loop.
TPC v2 with Leedroid Kernel 2.2.8 is lightning fast, not a single issue with anything, gps locks in 10-15 seconds on 7+ sats, 2+ DL, 1.4+ UL speeds on average (i've hit 4+ DL and 2+ UL depending on time of day and location) and the battery is a huge increase over stock. Was seeing about 8 hours before battery warning with stock, now 12 with same usage (alot of conference calls, LiveProfile messaging, and march madness updates ). I flashed the dilligaf but had some issues with connection speed, but the rom and kernel are INSANE fast and he hasnt even OC'd the kernel yet (quadrant pulled a 2200, my current tpc/lee with stock OC+18 i only hit mid 1800s).
CM7 isnt done yet, for linux users its like a rolling distro, too many kinks and hate having to update nightly to find out what is working now and what that update broke, i need something stable as this is my work and personal phone, 'my android kernel ruined my radio' wouldnt be an acceptable excuse.
I haven't really wanted the flash of the other ROMs as i usually remove all the widgets from my home screen. If i want to know the weather, i goto the weather on the internet, if i want the news, i look it up, i dont need it updating on my phone constantly, and grouping of the icons defeats the purpose of having 5 home screens anyway, so that point seems moot....the only ROM i'm currently interested in is the ASOP style once dilligaf is done....my 2cents

My market wouldn't update with TPC and I could not stand the animations with LeeDroid although his kernel is the best out right now. My current setup is in my sig, was on RcMixHD 5.2 for ages but after a while, the novelty of Gingerbread wore off. I can't see any benefit of using a Sense Gingerbread ROM until custom kernels are available. I also ran CM7 for a while but I can't keep away from Sense, I love it!

Better battery life, a De-Sensed ROM or AOSP?

Can't stand Sense, but seems like AOSP ROMs have its fair issues with the Thunderbolt.. Has anyone tried both? If so, which had the better battery life?

I like AOSP, but I'm just wondering if a stripped out/unbloated De-Sensed ROM has better battery life and less bugs than a AOSP one. Btw, I have a stock battery.. + 2 spares.
I got WAY better battery life with a de-sensed rom over AOSP. No matter what kernel/rom combination I try nothing has come close to sense or sense based roms.
AOSP roms are not perfect yet as far as the RIL, but way too much useful stuff on certain ones to go back to sense for me. Battery life is probably 12-16 hours on average for me on CM7 RC 1.6. If it lasts that long, it's good enough for me.
I think it comes down to personal preference. I didn't see a big enough difference to stay with one over the other for battery life. I'm sure it's different for everyone based on kernel settings, oc or not, number of things active in background, level of use etc.

I agree. Both are pretty stable now assuming you install them right and don't mess them up. Differences in battery are as you said, usage overall and what you installed after the rom. I'd say at this point in the life of both sense and the AOSP based roms. Much of how good a ROM is, depends on how knowledgeable a user is in using it to its potential, just like with any electronic device.

I dont notice ANY substantial difference between AOSP or Sense.
I've tried the following TB roms:

Various Synergy Builds
Gingeritis (current ROM)
I'm a heavy data/phone/txt user. I only have the standard battery. I get through 1 day on a full charge with any of the roms above, and no more then that.

Just installed NonS3ns3 and its fast as eff. Now looking for a low voltage kernel, is there a preferred kernel?
By asking which is better you've now got all these "fanboys" from each side swearing that their side is the best. Well, honestly, both can be great on battery. The ROM doesn't play as big a role in battery life as you think. It's moreso the kernal & the radio.
I find on either side the MR2.5 & MR 3.5 radios do well. AOSP side the leankernal is great and on de-sensed the dreamkernal is great.

Thanks for the info. Trust me, I get the major reason for battery life is always a kernel and underclocking. I had the OG Droid and I modded it like crazy, the only reason why I started this post was because if Sense takes so much space and RAM I wanted one that was minimal. I'd take AOSP, but I searched a ton and it has its issues on the Thunderbolt unfortunately.

[Q] Feedback and Question on best ROM?

Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether
yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs
Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend
try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.
CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?
kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly
im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.
Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable
I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

Also throw V6-Supercharger on top, it does make a noticeable difference.
Try AEON or ZTR, ZTR is the quickest GB one I've tried, its got Infusion core A2, Adrenaline shot, and Darky's ram hacks baked into the rom ^.^ Unfortunately its not longer being developed and has a bug here and there, but overall its a great rom.
Now if your daring... and I mean really daring. (I don't recommend this) but the fastest/smoothest rom yet IMO is the ICS CM9 Alpha Build #2 by jt. its got OC/UV and if you throw V6-Supercharger on top its quite quick and smooth as silk, its my current DD. but still in alpha phase

Can't tell for sure on battery drain. battery life is great though, but I just charge my phone all day (work, class, home). Today with moderate use (wifi, texting, e-mail) 3 hr 30 min left me at 83% battery and will probably last me the rest of today.
I threw on V6 SuperCharger Update 9 RC8.2 with options (6) (12) (20) (21). If anything improvements are small and it does create a little jitter when opening apps. Scrolling, Transitions, and general "interface" is a lot smoother. It made it feel "snappier"

Waiting for the jb updates for the htc one serie. Hope soon to have jb+sense roms

Could you share some info how is it's performance, what's not working and is it stable ? I'd reconsider changing rom to this if it's worth it.

i can say that there are almost no bugs other than the existing.
Games lag sometimes but im not sure yet if its GPU or my CPU settings (max 1024)
Battery life is a problem tho... it can last for a day with busy sms and medium to busy calls...
but still not sure how it will perform in a busy week day..
going back to the army tomorrow and im thinking of ICS/MIUI/Sense than JB
sense
i definitely prefer the vanilla look, and JB is soo smooth. though it seems to me that there is not yet one vanilla rom for our device that is completely stable. im using clean and light sense rom, which is really fast and has great battery life, while praying for a stable vanilla rom :angel:
You could perhaps try ICE DS (Sense 3.6) with the tweaked v6.0 kernel, I'm using this now and it's rock solid which seems like what you'd want! I also run Apex launcher, so you get a bit of the vanilla feel in the homescreen/app drawer (but with more options!)
I don't think it'll be long til we get a more stable JB, but if you're going away it's a much better idea to have something reliable.
so, guys, i need battery life... at least 1.5 day without charge with only normal sms usage.
Is there any chance that ICE DS with tweaked kernel v6 can hold that much?
I know that CNA (JB) cant hold that much... even tho i love it...

You can achieve that to any ROM if you have a properly calibrated battery, turned off WiFi, GPS, Background Data (Gingerbread and below), Auto-sync off, Brightness preset, GSM network only, and to an area where GSM reception is high. Zero or no reception tends to make your OS to let your radio work harder just to have a network from your provider.
Additionally, if you have an optimized custom ROM, not play so much games, tweaked properly and not so much OC, UV proper governor, not much app running in the background will also help
Basically, turn off the other features that make your smartphone a "smartphone" and just use it mainly for talk and sms. You're better off with a Nokia 3310 if you will. Chuck Norris seems to be the only match for that phone.

I haven't been able to test ICE DS's battery to be able to recommend it for you, I'm currently trying different governors etc. and although the rom is great the battery life is not, thus far.
Before this I was using Fallout, and I think I'd recommend that. Flash 4.4,the UV tweaked kernel (the zip worked fine for me, I used 1200/245 on demand and sio settings). Decide if you like sweep2wake and get rid if not (I did, instructions in the thread.)
With this setup I got close to 30 hours after properly charging and discharging after flashing.
I would also highly recommend apex launcher like I said before, which gives you a ton of options to play with and a stock feel. Finally, itandy has made a brilliant app available in the development forum, that allows you to keep lock screen shortcuts with a non-rosie launcher.
I hope that helps, it's hard to say how much battery you'll get because you probably use your phone very differently to me, or anyone else. What I've said here is a good bet though. Stay safe!

Guys i know how to save battery, but JB (CNA) droped 1% cz of vibration,
seen it from 72% dropping to 71% and right after to 70% xD
Anw, im just gonna need it for heavy texting, my girl really gets anxious when im in there
I was using Sense4A port from proxuser before, i have to admit that i loved the battery life.
EDIT: i decided to go with Fallout & also download ICE_DS and CNA on my SDcard...
if i find any problem with Fallout im gonna backup my messages and contacts and switch to ICE_DS..
Now there goes a battery testing for soldiers =p

still JB is not stable enough =/

In your personal opinion. CM9 and 10 are both stable enough for me so I'm happy, if you aren't go and help the development of JB ROMs.
