Ok Guys.......here comes a Noob question....
To start off with I am familiar with rooting & flashing my Epic 4G.
But my wife has an Evo Shift & I'm not familiar with the ROM's out for the Shift.
Since the GB update rolled out her phone has been lacking & a little buggy.
She complained about the launcher redrawing, checked it & she is almost out of memory (internal) with very few apps installed.
My question is: I'm looking for your opinions on a good stable ROM with the bloat removed to free up space. She liked the phone better with Froyo so that could be an option.
Thanks in advance.
You could try Supreme sense 8.0 its a hybrid rom of 2.1 and 3.0 sense its very smooth and stable ive been running it for a month now no random reboots or nothing only bloatware is sprint hotspot and thats all.
this article might help install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201233
Closes to froyo is the mikshift rom expect its gingerbread and from what i've read has no problems and is closes to stock
She's probably used to Sense and would complain but if you really want to free up memory then I'd suggest an AOSP ROM like CM7. Or she might like MIUI.

If you want something that is very close to stock. You can try MikShift v1.1, it's Froyo 2.2 . Or if you prefer 2.3 Gingerbread, MikShifted G v1.76. Both are Stable, Smooth, and very quick. Even on the stock Kernel, without Overclocking.
supreme sense 8 or cm7 nightly.

What phone do you have, Im assuming its a hero. im running EZHero v5, my fave so far
Well bugless beast is pretty simple. But I haven't really encountered a ROM that was difficult. They kind of all act similar. The only difference is the features and performance.
For stability, speed, and "ease" I recommend bugless beast.
If you want some wow factor, you should look for something like cyanogen mod. It has the most themes written for it.
Hi there,i have installed bionix v 1.3.1 on my vibrant,and it looks and feels quite good,but since it was based on android 2.2,i started to search for other custom rom with android 2.3,and i found Cyanogenmod 7 RC1,i have flashed it,used for while,and honestly found it not as good as bionix v 1.3.1,because of poor battery life,weak gps performance,and i really missed swype and touchwiz,so my question is,can you guys recommend me some other roms(stable if possible,and with swype and touchwiz)based on Android 2.3,for vibrant.
Thanks a lot for reading,any advice will be great.

Hi all. I've got my O3D coming tomorrow and want to root it and install a different rom but not sure what to go for. I've had a look around and I'm interested in the ThiaiZO3D rom along with the v6 supercharger. I've currently got a hannspree hannspad tablet which I've modded with CWM and custom rom so I'm familiar with android and Modding. My current phone at the moment is the Nokia N900 which I've also modded. Ive also had a play with my mate O3D and loved it which is the reason i bought one. Here's a few questions I would like answering please.
1) what rom is best in terms of reliability, fast and responsive?
2) will installing the tegra software work fine with a custom rom like ThiaiZO3D for example?
3) is the camera mod in the development section worth installing, also is it installed via CWM?
That's all for now.
Thank you very much. Ashley.
I think the Thiai Rom is currently good choise but.i try to test king 3d. He release v2.2 this week and i think its a great alternately to Thiai Rom.
Sorry for bad English
send from 3rd Dimension with LG Optimus 3D
1) Think ThiaiZ with V6 is the way to go. If you want to have new kernel go for Koala or King. But for me it seems ThiaiZ stock runs smoother.
2) Sorry didn't try
3) Yes and yes. Look the amazing comparison pics in its thread.
I just installed ThiaiZ yesterday and also used the v6 script but cant actually notice any difference. Swiping between screens has a little 'judder' as it scrolls, I haven't actually tried any games but overall performance seems the same.
I haven't had the phone crash yet like I did on the stock ROM; but time will tell.
seems like thaiz rom, is one of the most stable one in this forum since it is stock based. But im not upgrading to 1.5.3 anytime soon, cuz i love my stock browser too much . i think it gets the job done, simple and easy to use. might upgrade if thaiz decided to put the browser in again
Hello. I would like to start this thread by saying that i'm a noob in phones and computers in general. So please talk with me like you are talking to a kid.
Now, lets get to the point.
I want to install a ROM on my LG p500 optimus one, any ''newer'' rom will do its job. Now i have rooted the phone(I think) and it was previously installed with 2.3.3 android, and I would like to have a link or a tutorial on precisely how to install it. I mean like 4.3.3 or any newer updates, but the condition is that the phone has to work, everything that works now has to work on the other ROM.
Also, I read somewhere, that some ROM's make your phone perform faster, do you think thats true? And can you show me a tutorial that meets the conditions in bold that i wrote previously?
Please read the following thread to install Kitkat android 4.4.2 which is a smooth ROM

You could try the KitKat ROM mentioned above my post or you could try GenetICS by @hephappy - http://www.mediafire.com/?rk8gkjuudllk4l8

I personally recommend you to use Icysnap v2.0 this is most stable and faster ROM. it is based on ICS All feature are working without lag :highfive: ICySNAP v2.0 GOLDEN EYE | ICS 4.0.4 | LGE 3.1 UI:victory:
And If want increase the performance of your phone then flash This MOD Adrenaline™ Engine:highfive: :fingers-crossed:

There is absolutely zero need to worry about lag or anything of such before trying a ROM, Kernel, etc. 'Swapper', 'Swapper 2', and other applications similar to these boost your phone's speed (and oh, not to mention, overall performance) to incredible amounts. They do so by literally increasing the phone's RAM be significant amounts (if you want them to). They use your SD card for the extra RAM. My phone currently has 321 applications installed on it, which should make it lag as GTA running on an under-clocked P500, but guess what? It works as smooth as it runs once you buy it (weird examples, but you're getting the point). My preferance: that should not be your worry. What your worry should be is installing a ROM/Firmware not compatible with your Kernel. Good luck!
The newest and smoothest ROM for me is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589303 with this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140930
If it doesn't work as smooth as you expected(that's not gonna happen), you can allways go back to your previous ROM. Try it
Newbie here! Hi! My question is. Had a desire s sitting in a drawer for ages because the battery wasn't holding a charge. Bought a new battery, but its running really slow even after i did a factory reset. Are there any new updates i could download for it please? Its currently running android 4.0.4 TIA for all and any help!
Look at the Desire S Android Development. There are a lot of good ROM choices. Just need to be S-Off or have an unlocked bootloader plus a Custom Recovery installed like TWRP or CWM. If you do then you can choose between the ROMs available. There are a ton of it. Just need to try which one fits the best for you.
I'm currently using Sagasation V2.0. I just removed the Samsung stuffs in the ROM even the Launcher and installed Nova. I also did some CPU Overclocking. I can say this is the best ROM I've ever tried. Really fast and can stand to be a daily driver. It's Jellybean 4.2.2 by the way.
Thanks! Will give it a go!
