I was running viperRom for a few weeks, but decided to give Virus a shot and absolutely love it. I'll probably jump back to Viper whenever the new release drops to see what kind of changes were made.
I'm on vipermod right now but am interested in synergy but I'm a little intimidated..I didn't understand half of the tweaks that were in the op and i don't know how to flash nightlys ..I don't have a desktop so I'm not sure if you need one to.flash the updates ..only way i know is to download right to my phone, put on root of SD and flash ..anyone with synergy how do you flash nightlys and can you do it right from your phone
rooted stock.
I have been wanting to flash but the damn phone is just running too good in all aspects and I have it right where I want it. Some days I secretly hope I could find an issue/bug that would give me a valid reason.....

Hello,
I have got the itch to try a GB ROM again. I'm currently running Project V and it's great, but i want some change. I tried CM7 RC1 when it first came out and couldn't deal with the horrible battery life. But I figure it's been quite a while so things may have improved since then. What would be everyone's suggestion on the best one? I don't like crazy themes or anything. I'm just looking for a stock GB look with decent battery life and stability. Thanks in advance!
I want to know this too!

Simply Honey is way over-themed for my liking.
If over themed you mean completely then yes it probably is. Sorry didn't mean to make the UI uniform.

Calm down now, it's nothing personal. I'm sure it runs just fine. I just like the stock GB look.
The cm7 have drastically improved battery is on part with most other GB roms. I personally love Miui revamped LE it is incredibly fast and the developers are extremely active in the forum. Along with that they update the ROM every Friday and you always think there is no way it can get better but somehow they always seem to exceed expectations

Biffmod
I personally find Simply Honey to be a bit much as well (no offense explodingboy, just not to my taste). So, leaning toward a stock-ish ROM, I recommend Biffmod Vibrant. It's basically CM7, but with a bunch of tweaks to fix the common complaints and a stock look. Here are the changes:
Features:
*Mix of AOSP/cm7 - 2.3.5
*black launcher2
*black camera
*notification widgets
*overclock capable kernel (1.7ghz)
*voodoo color and sound
*BLN/LED Notifications (on by default, the BLN app is not compatible)
*Ricktips
*glitch kernel HL thanks TK-Glitch

I've been using it ever since I switched from my HD2 to the Vibrant, and it's a dream. The only issue I've encountered is a "problem" with the overclocking: the kernel says it can go up to 1.7Ghz, but in my experience it tops out at about 1.4Ghz before the phone starts to freeze up. Other than that, like I said, it's great—I fully recommend it.

I just wanted to chime in, I've tried your rom before and it was fantastic (in fact, i think it was the first one to have bln fixed when all the other roms had broken bln). However, I was past my honeycomb theme phase and is looking for a more stock gb (or close to it) look now. I constantly search for themes for your rom that can make it look like stock but to no avail I think if you added a stock theme zip, you will be able to increase your user base by quite a significant amount of people.
It's great--I easily go a whole day with moderate to heavy Wifi usage (I don't have data) without having to plugin.

I ended up flashing Biffmod last night. It is amazing so far. So smooth and I haven't had a single issue yet. I also ended up flashing the newest Bali Kernel and have it UV'ed quite substantially. We'll see how it does on battery.
Thanks for the advice.
I personally prefer CM7 or Bionix 1.3.1
Every GB rom I've tried has not had a working GPS. I travel for a living so I need this to work. I have since gone back to 2.2 so my GPS works but out of curiosity, is there a GB rom/kernel that supports reliable GPS functionality?
I could be wrong but I think some of the gps work. GPS worked fine for me on Simply Honey 5.0, which I loved. I liked the themeing, especially the pink theme made to go with it!! I just decided to give Trigger (GB not Froyo) a try and I am equally happy with it. GPS isn't a huge issue for me, but I noticed on Trigger I get locks but they are not accurate, usually within 100ft. I also haven't tweaked any of the settings or tried any of the fixes. There are lots of great GB roms out there...just play around and see what suits you best. My Vibrant has always had great gps I've read that some GPS just don't work well on Vibrants.
I personally really like the AOSP GB Roms, Trigger, CM7 and MIUI are all great... have not tried Biffmod yet, but I intend to sometime.
Kernel-wise, I really like Glitch V11 HL
No problem!

It's not a kernel issue. It's just that your vibrant cant handle the overclock as all devices overclock and undervolt differently
Hello xda!
ive just upgraded from the evo shift to a evo 3d i unlocked the hboot 1.5
i know that i have to use fastboot to flash roms/kernels
im just wondering what everyones best setup is?im looking for something with good battery life and alot of tweaks.I dont really really care for eye candy or themes lol they would be nice but i noticed the themed roms ive tried have bad battery drain.ive tried pretty all of the recent ones on xda but im wondering if there are any older ones or something that are stable and have tweaks with good battery life?
let me know what you guys use as a everyday rom
im tired off always flashing new roms lol
Scrosler's CleanRom if you like your stock rom, but want a few enhancements, cleaned up, and much better battery life.
Do what I did, flash all of em and find ure fav

ViperRom by far. Super fast, stable, and smooth and has every mod you could want out of a sense rom minus beats. (but who really cares)
I prefer Virus' "infectedROM Eternity™" best one I've used so far... (love Cyanogenmod, too)
Deck's 1.0 for compatibility and battery life. Synergy for blazing speed and near stock feel.

oh yeah and i know what u mean about the beats lol its just a little eq u need
I've tested almost all of them, and I'd have to recommend either InfectedROM Eternity or Warm TwoPointThree. Those two offer the best stability and speed without sacrificing battery life.
Or do like others have and spend some time testing all of them.

No one can tell you because we all have our own personal preferences. All you could do is test them out. ROMs are like food to me. I can't tell you what you will like because it taste good to me.

you can't go wrong with either warm 2.3, eternity, or clean rom. I jump between those 3 roms. if you are looking to overclock I suggest mwalt2's bcblend however I personally run with the stock kernal as my daily. my phone is the in house dj at my work so run pandora all day long connected to wifi. I average between 12-16 hours of battery.

Came back from Epic Touch (lost in the mail by the repair site after a brick, the replacement phone they bought for me from ebay has a lost/stolen esn), and I cannot stand little lags here and there.
Has sprint/htc made any improvements at all, like gpu acceleration or sd card optimization since last October? Right now I'm running Chogardjr3D blue rom, and it's night and day compared to the epic touch, where everything is silky smooth and gpu accelerated.
Any recommendations on a smooth rom?

Eternity is hands-down the smoothest UI experience this far on the 3D, MeanROM is probably a bit quicker but definitely bot smoother.

Remember OP, this is a thread asking for opinions and on a smooth ROM. I am going to have to disagree with Joe with how smooth MeanROM is. Your best bet is just to flash different ROMS and see which one you think is the best.
MeanROM has been the smoothest ROM I have used that is sense based with everything working
I have been using CleanROM for the past 6 or so months and it has been great. Always get great battery life and stability with Scott's ROM's.
You will have to play around with things stock builds work well with bloat removed . Oc kernels roms can be fast doesn't help battery life out tho. But its what you prefer and want outta things.

InfectedROM Eternity, nothing else is as fast or smooth. It now comes with the v6 supercharger script so with that on, nothing comes close to speed or smoothness. Even without the script enabled, however, it's still smooth, you'll just have less free RAM without the script

Lol everything is smooth just depends on what the OP has in mind that he wants outta a rom the looks,battery life,stock,stable...
I'm running MikRunny v1.11 right now and I think its pretty smooth.
The first rom I tried was Leedroid which is also very good, but its an optimized and tweaked stock rom.
And I was looking for something newer, an rom which contained atleast Sense 3.5 and had no serious issues.
And well you have many roms and you just can look in the threads that list these roms. Because I came from DHD I already knew what I wanted an stable rom with all phone features working and newer software like sense 3.5.

These threads are super subjective.
Any launcher that is not android native will typically be "laggy". This can be fixed by increasing scrolling speed and turning off fancy animations.
I can tell you from years of doing this any rom that is a stock rom will be the same, unless they use a different launcher and or mod the animation speed.
Just use them all, use what you think is best. I have an Epic Touch the hardware acceleration on it doesn't make that big of a difference.
You should sometimes ad somethings yourself. Like the oc deamon and controller and there are scripts that improve the performance.

Hey guys. I was wondering which ROM you guys use and why.
+1 for ZR3D
I tend to bounce back and fourth from MeanROM and ZR3D. I like the theming that ZR3D has, but no matter how much I play with the DSP settings, the sound (for me) sounds overly gained and poppy.
I am currently back to MeanROM.
Mean Rom is unbeatable for me. Fast, stable and great battery life. Its constantly getting updates and dev always avail to answer questions. What else could you ask for?
Lol
Both roms are different..
It really depends on what a user wants outta a rom..
But both guys offer great support .. Steal and dashed14 and dropzone I know I didn't spell his user name right srry.. Drop..
You just gotta try things out pick what makes ya happy lol..
yeah i think ill try out mean rom. but i may try zr3d as well. ughhh u know what, im gonna install both and see what i like best.

I use ZR3D and its smooth and fast. Only lag I see is scrolling in SMS list. Haven't tried meanrom lately but when I tried it a few weeks ago sense was choppy. With Chad's kernel ZR3D is even smoother. Might try meanrom tonight again and ill post my opinion afterwards.
Video of ZR3D with anthrax @1118 ghtz. I recommend watching it in YouTube app. Less video stutter
I never liked mean rom. I don't k.ow why, but it felt too stock and laggy and the battery life was nowhere near what other users claimed it to be. I like ZR3D but the battery on that was just as bad sad it was on mean rom, but at least it felt smooth. I'd recommend for you to try eternity, noctural adrenaline, and android revolution hd. All of these are buttery smooth with great battery life. Out of those though, eternity is my favorite.
What are you using to oc/uc? Also what theme? Thanks.
i have tried every rom for evo 3d cdma 10 times over.. for me mean rom with chads kernel is top notch.. super fast.. battery life is like none other and the support is great!!!!! roms run differnt on differnt phones.. a rom that runs good for me mite not for someone else... feel me

Finally got to try Meanrom again and it looks like it comes with Anthrax kernel 882. But even with that, sense was still choppy. Also it doesnt seem to have leedroids tweak which can help enhance sense and status bar. Everything looks pretty stock on it with bloat removed. I'm not knocking his rom as a lot of people love it. But my preference goes to ZR3D for its smoothness (even with stock kernel), along with the inclusion of leedroids tweak, and several eye candy but not overly done. But in the end you will be the best judge so just try them both and see for yourself and as someone suggested, try other roms as well. Its as easy as making a nandroid backup and try each rom without redoing your data just yet and just play with it for a few minutes. A lot of times thats all you need to see if its the rom for you. All the devs work hard in making their rom special to them and to others so make sure you support them by making a small donation. I dont know what I would do if I had no choice but to be stuck using HTC stock rom. That would really suck! lol.
