I recently purchased an HTC EVO 3D after realizing the HTC EVO 4G just was cutting it - I found the MeanROM and installed. Simply amazing - blazing fast and serious perks for a dual-core smartphone. Definitely appreciate the great work the team committed to making a truly viable ROM for the EVO 3D using the latest OTA.
This will only be the beginning of you flashing roms...make sure and check out InfectedRom Eternity 3.0 and see what beats audio is all about.

I went ahead and installed the blue theme on the MeanROM. It definitely adds a color theme I really like (blue is my color BTW). However, the battery ICON is a little weird looking, but it looks pretty sharp. I think the MeanROM is for me at this time because it is definitely quality work with respect to the 3D phone.

Either Cleanrom or Meanrom is an excellent choice! Scott and Mike have worked together to produce a rom with great speed and unbelievable battery life!

I agree. I have run CleanROM DE pretty much since it came out, and finally took the plunge on MeanROM today. I'm amazed at the speed. It's as fast as DE was overclocked, maybe a bit more and it's stock speed! Sure there are things I'll miss from DE, but I have more to play with now. I have done some tweaking with MeanROM for my personal taste, and am considering a fork possibly. A ROM for those who want to rock.
Honestly, the first thing I noticed is going from 100% to 99% in 3 1/2 hours. I kid you not - the battery life is extraordinarily solid. In addition, the SpeedTests are displaying 4 down / 4 up on average.
If I had one request - if for more tweak of the signal, battery, and scroll glow... just a thought.
Thanks
Meanrom is a very stable, fast, and battery generous ROM. It is my current daily. I have also used virus roms and liked them.

Beats is not fully supported yet in any ROM based on the latest OTA because there is no kernel support for it at this time. Soon though
But yes, I 2nd the Eternity 3.0 nomination to try. IMO it is the best Sense based ROM, with MeanROM being a very close second (for the latest OTA ROM's anyway). I like the styling and coloring of Eternity more than Mean. Try downloading r98
MeanRom and Leedroid
Hey I'm fairly new to this. I have been running meanrom for a little bit now started at v1.7 and today I will be updating to v2.8. The question I have is I recently saw Leedroid Tweaks CDMA v4.0.3. And I have a couple of questions. First, which version do I choose the ota or the non ota? Second I assume I install Meanrom v2.8, then the same way I installed meanrom I install the leedroid tweaks.zip file. Right?
Thanks! I haven't done enough posts to post in the meanrom dev forum, so hopefully this is a good place to ask this.

This is more of a question that will result in an answer that's an opinion. But I am wondering and completely open to ideas. I have used XPLOD and Eternity. But there's tons of Roms out there so I'm wondering which one would be good.

AOSP PB9 from Deck. All working except Camera, 4G nad 3D. HW is about 90%, Wifi, 3G, BT, all is working very good. OC up to 1.94 ghz. Good ROM to try
Sense: inbREDed ROM is smooth and fast, MeanROM is another one. Both have all stuff working without problems. MeanROM is more stock look while inbREDed is a fully themed ROM, ledroid tweaks, 2 MPx in front forced. Also, OP is working on 1080p recording

The two ROMs I use:
Mean ROM: everything works. Uses the Ziggy kernel which is stable with great battery life. Very active dev (new release every few days) and very active user community. Has Beats working without the headphone hiss. This ROM looks mainly stock with some addons included or flashable.
Nocturnal Adrenaline: everything works. Uses the Anthrax kernel which is slightly worse on battery, but a little better in performance. Active dev (new releases about once every week or two) and active community of users. Less stock look since Leedroid tweaks are built in and some of the widgets and apps are inverted.
I flashed version a 2.2 ZR3D rom and it is great. Really sped my phone up!

X2. I am not new to rooting, but just recently finally rooted my Evo3D. Tried several different ROMs. I found that Mean ROM was very stable, very quick and snappy, everything works, and very active dev, as stated before. Many that use Mean are changing to the Anthrax kernel to go even faster, but the Ziggy kernel that comes stock on the ROM works great, and is a huge improvement over stock.
I AM looking forward to an ICS ROM that has everything working. Every time I try a ROM with something as a know issue not working, I think it will be no big deal to do without. Then I find that is the feature I miss the most. So I choose to stay with fully functional ROMs. Just my opinion...

Try all of them for a few days, there is no "better" ROM.

I installed MeanROM 0.3 last night before going to bed. Today I went from full to 60% faster than I expected this morning, but since then it has gone from 60 to 30% much more slowly. I am definitely going to give it a little time to "settle in" and see how it goes. Plus, given Mikey's history, it'll be on 0.5 or 0.6 by the end of the week Which is why you can't say one is "better" than the other right now - both are still evolving pretty rapidly.
But, maybe I'll give Flex360's a try right now as a point of comparison.
I've run pretty much all of the roms available and am on mean rom since last night..it seems to be running well..I ran omjs for a while and that was nice and smooth ..imho I dont notice much difference between them but maybe that's just bc I dont know what I'm looking for? One thing I dont like is the show JavaScript console bar and do.t understand its usefulness...and it blocks out my status bar even at the top ..

Precisely. Anyone claiming one ROM is the "best" ROM at this point is just biased. They all are based on the exact same software--except for AOSP--and do virtually the same things and have the same tweaks. There isn't enough diversity at this point to crown one ROM "the best."
i think right now i think that pkmn rom is ahead by a little bit only because it has a leetroid like app that allows you to customise the look and feel of the app. lots of things you would normally edit something for is just a checkbox away

I will agree. My daily rom is MeanROM but I've tried them all and I think they're pretty much all the same. Only thing that's separating them are tweaks, they definitely all look the same. From what I hear the VenomRom will be the one that separates itself from the rest, when it gets released.

Dude you should try this rom. they've made this rom very light and now i usually have around 175 - 220mb FREE.
just 3 bugs so far.. which i have already reported on day one.
1- Facebook Calender Sync doesn't work.
2- Gallery and Music app fails to load and search files. ( most of the time ) its a pain though :x
3- No Predictive Text in the keyboard. ( you'll have to use the ****ty SwiftKey for that.)
I've flashed Mean rom... All I noticed was 2% drops in battery every few minutes.. And it looked like the same stock ics layout
What's so special about It
We need roms that have boot animations and tweaked batt life roms that tweak the ui something extra ordinary
Stock suits me for now until I see a tricked out rom one that physically just looks different to the eyes

That's by OMJ right? I use his mod pack which is really sweet.

I suggest Tranquility JB very smooth a lot of hard work done by the Bad Seed Gang

Their Bistro for mods is cool too
I was going to go to MeanBean. However, not sure about this Tranquility ROM. Is it even on XDA? Is it heavily themed or more stock? I am giving my phone to my father-in-law and want him to have a good ROM that just works and is close to stock in look.
just going to chime in here, if youre looking for a stock rom best bet is build yourself. it's easy enough to do if you follow some steps. sense isnt really stock imo
if youre looking for something nice to run theres plenty of roms out. best advice is try em all.
Another vote for Tranquility. I've run MeanBean for a while and it was good. Tranquility seems slightly smoother and the theming is excellent. Tranquility was on XDA, but they removed it. Now it's on www.themikmik.com
I did add Zepplinrox multitasking mod, which Mean bean already has in it. Makes a noticeable difference, especially with Sense reloads.
Is tranquility stock looking? On mikmik, it looks heavily themed.

If I had the skills I would try but making my own is way above my head. Plus whatever is out there would be far better than anything I could cook up

Think I'm going to give MeanBean a shot, working on backing everything up right now.
My biggest concern is battery life, I don't sit on my phone all day so I'm mostly concerned with how the phone behaves while the screen is off; though I do like a smooth experience when it's on.
I'll post back with my initial impression of MeanBean and my experience with the battery once I've had long enough to establish a norm.
-- Question from me. Anyone recommend a kernel over the stock kernel? Maybe something with better governors or fastcharge?

For your situation I would go with OMJ 2.2. It is an ICS rom but runs super smoothe, fast, and has exceptional battery life, and everything works. OMJ also has a later version 2.6 which uses Aroma so you can customize yourself.
