I'm assuming that you are on Sprint (or have a CDMA EVO 3D).
If you're on HBOOT 1.50, how did you flash E3DLight? You will need to flash it using the workaround trick of running 'fastboot boot [NAMEOFYOURRECOVERY].img'. I'm not completely sure what the status is of that specific ROM, but it may be just an issue with flashing ROMs.
No MIUI. I understand. Just one thing about MIUI though, you don't have to use the MIUI launcher. You can install a launcher like ADW, or LauncherPro. That's all I'm going to say on the MIUI front.
For AOSP, you might want to look at KMyer's CyanogenMod 7 port. It's not completely stable, but it's pretty good.
There really aren't too many more AOSP ROMs I can think of. If you don't mind a ROM built off the HTC base, but with much of the Sense stuff taken out of it, you might have a look at freeza's freEVO ROM.
Hope this helps,

PB9 from Deck is the most satble for my phone. All stuff is working except 3D, Camera and 4G.

Hello all,
I was just wondering what your impressions were re, the most stable ROM out now, the one with the least issues. Is there one that seems to be most hassle-free? I'm not nessasarily looking for a lot of bells and whistles...
Thanks!
Used to enjoy Theory's ROMs but felt that every few weeks he'd discontinue a ROM and release a new one. If you want a sense ROM that has a good following, I'm gonna be taking a look at SynergyROM, or if you want a non-sense ROM (AKA AOSP) I'd go CM7 (CynergyMod 7).
I'm aosp fan personally. I've used Cyanogenmod extensively, as well as Omgb. I'm currently running TheROM V4 and it is rock solid stable and very responsive. Not many bells and whistles. Just vanilla gingerbread.
It depends on what you want aosp or sense
For me I'm an aosp girl I'm running cyanogenmod 7 v1.7 loving it and. Ill give the kernel I'm using for battery life
If I don't want aosp anymore I always go to. http://teambamf.net/
I love das bamf! or if not go to http://themikmik.com/forumdisplay.php?1004-HTC-Thunderbolt-Developer-Forum I personal really like chingy's roms
I don't like Droid theory just saying
If you like sense, I really like Chingy's Gingeritis 3D.
Second vote for Gingeritis 3D. Stable and great battery life if you just use better governors.
Definitely the wrong forum, bro.
been rocking cleantheory to shiftsense for the past two weeks. both have been rock solid. DT is stopping development though, so take it for whatever that means. i think at some point all ROMS eventually lose development. hopefully whatever you choose is good enough for your daily driver if you dont like flashing over and over.
ShiftS3ns3 by DroidTho3ry rocks - give it a shot.
I think I'm going to give Gingeritis 3D a try. I'm not a pro at flashing new ROMs... i've only done it once (running BAMF 1.3 now). Is there anything special I should do? Is it just like flashing the BAMF ROM? (can I do it from ROM Manager?)
Thanks!

DT mentioned that he's taking a break, so hopefully he won't be gone too long. His work is better than stock.. HTC ought to hire him and get out of his way.
If you want Sense ROM, can't go wrong with SkyRaider Preview 2 or ShiftS3NS3.
If you want AOSP based ROM, SHIFTAO5P hasn't given me any problems whatsoever.
If you can live without the 3d, skyraider preview 2 is rock solid.

FWIW, I have been pretty pleased with the Synergy ROMs and I'd be running one now but...... I was one who fell victim to either the ROM Manager update or the CWM update and now cannot restore any of my backups. I tried various earlier CWMs w/o success and finally un-rooted, installed stock, did the OTA update and I'm back 100% stock.
I mention this because it's relevent to the question..... Battery life is good, the stability is excellent and, once customized to my liking, I really can't see much difference other than the "billions and billions" of crap apps VZW and HTC have added to the phone. If I could get rid of them I'd be just fine with the stock ROM believe it or not!
I'll probably re-root at some point and it's VERY likely I'll go back to the Synergy ROM because it works. I've had rebooting problems with other ROMs I've tried and I'm no longer in a mood to experiment, maybe later?
OK, it's later. I rooted, using Revolutionary, used Titanium backup to remove VZWs crapware and then figured why not? and installed the latest Synergy ROM.
I guess I just can't live with a non-rooted phone for 24 hours..... <sigh>
i keep trying out different roms all the time(sense & aosp based) and find that i'll keep going back to Synergy. it seems the most stable just i having issues with settling with just one rom.
Everyone has a different opinion on what stable is. I think CM7 is plenty stable, but there are those that disagree for whatever logical/illogical reason. Mainly, if you aren't prepared to encounter issues either brought up by your own experimenting or those of the ROM developer, I would stay with what the phone came with and be happy you have a phone that (sort of) works
If you are more brave, then read on.
If you read the comments about most ROMs, there is no such thing as a 100% infallible, will never ever let you down, stable ROM. ROMs are generally bleeding edge and users accept the fact they may have bugs in exchange for the phone doing more than what HTC and verizon allowed them to do. However, ignore most comments, because those are generally just people that screwed something up either knowingly or unknowingly. Like people that go the the hospital (for those that have family members that work at one), not everyone is ready to admit they did something stupid and have it on public display

Skyraider with Ziggy's kernel is EXACTLY this. It has average to good battery life though. Everything works, including it being compatible with call recording and incredicontrol (voltage control app). It also has the notification tweaks that no one has quite duplicated and I have grown to love.
I find Synergy to be an excellent rom as well, but the themes available do not suit me at all. It does support everything with good battery life and also adds HTC Hub which is awesome. It also has DConfig, which I just have not gotten a great benefit from but I guess some might.
The theory sense rom was smooth as silk, and seemed to be a happy medium between the first two I posted.
Chingy's rom is VERY slick, but very vanilla. The fact that it is Odexed makes theming harder I think, but for me that means I cannot replace the HTC browser with the AOSP one, and I HATE THE SENSE BROWSER lol.
ALL AOSP roms seem to have squashed most of the crappy battery issues and get great battery life now. This added to a FAR FAR FAR better bluetooth stack for better use with wireless devices like Jawbone, AND compatability with PS3 hardware make them an awesome choice. The ONLY problem is the lack of reliable network location. This means google maps works perfect, but your web browser can and will put you across the world sometimes, as well as weather apps etc. This rules it out for me for now.
Hope that helps
Shifts3ns3 has been the best for me, while I liked synergy, it had more bugs and seemed much slower to me, shift has the useful 3.0 features without the slowdown of a full sense 3.0 rom

Hey everyone! I'm currently on a Sense rom but I might change to an ICS rom once it becomes more stable. What do you prefer, Sense, or Ice Cream Sandwich?
Well right now all 3 of the roms out are still in an alpha stage, so if you're looking for a complete, finished rom.. stick with Sense 3.5 roms. I'm running JoelZ Alpha4 ICS rom and it's butter smooth and I don't regret flashing it. I'm using it as my daily, ISC is beautiful. Camera, and 4g don't work yet on all of them. And they're each missing something else.
oh ok, so you think ics is better for speed and stability?
Sent from my PG8610000 using xda premium
When I was on stock my phone was lag-free and smooth, and JoelZ rom replicates that. It doesn't crash on me hardly, really smooth, there's obvious works in progress but overall it's beautiful. Data/sms works, but I can't send/receive pictures and there's a few other glitches. If you can live without camera and 4g go for it.
Sense is also in ICS.

The current 3 current ICS roms are sense roms? I know one of them is built from source code, which doesn't contain Sense. In fact, I don't see a hint of Sense (except the removal of onscreen buttons if that counts).

I have been running JoelZ's ICS Rom and love it. For an Alpha stage ROM, JoelZ has this thing running very nicely and has hardware acceleration working as well. As was mentioned earlier, no Camera, no MMS, no 4g, and a few other items, but if these are not required by you then this is an excellent ICS ROM to try if you have an interest in ICS.
ICS is a huge face-lift for the Android OS in my opinion. I am very pleased with it thus far. If you are the type of person that want a full 100% working ROM, then I would give this a little more time before giving it a try. If you don't mind not having a few of the missing features then I would say have at it. ICS has really impressed me thus far.
Yeah only bad thing about most sense 3.5 roms is missing 3d and 4g which has been said above. I like the Nocturnal Roms especially Blackened 2.5.0. I will stick with them until sense 3,5 ports have the bugs worked out.
If you dont mind living without the camera & 4G get an ICS rom first, try it out and give a test run.
Experts out there. Looking for your opinion and preferences.
I am currently running BAMF's SoaB ROM with Sense 3.5. I started having some Sense restarting issues, especially when returning from apps. So I decided to reinstall GoLauncher and haven't had any problems since.
So the question I have is this. (I have only recently rooted, so I am a noob)
If I don't really plan on using sense, and I don't really miss the sense widgets, are the AOSP roms faster in terms of screen transitions, opening apps, closing running apps, memory maintanence, power consumtion?
Is it better to have Sense or give AOSP roms a shot? Or should I find a Senseless ROM?
Reason I have not just gone and done the instillation of anything else, it two fold. Time is limited to me (Mondays are my free day, so I am catching up on other things) and my wife is still unhappy that I have rooted and installed a custom ROM, so doing it again without data would really piss her off. Happy wife, happy life.
So any opinions, advice, recomendation, etc would be great. Thanks again guys and gals!
Whatever you do , do not flash ics android 4.0 its unstable.
My opinion if you like a lot of theming then go with sense 3.5/3.0
But if you don't care about the looks and just want a fast stable Rom go with Aosp roms they are faster

I found Sense to be difficult to theme to my taste, hard to change icons, fonts, etc. But using an alternative launcher I can go theme crazy! Thanks for the information, looks like AOSP 1, Sense 0 so far!
I guess what I ment to say was all the widgets look good on sense , but it might just be the Rom you Downloaded that causes the force closes. What phone do you have ?
Whoops, forgot the important stuff! Running a Thunderbolt. And the ROM was fine for a good month, and it seems to just be internet based programs that cause it to restart. When returning home from those like internet explorer or inbrowser, it flashes to the white screen then back to Sense. No biggie because I rarely have reboots now, and its still pretty quick. And battery is fantastic!
Then it all depends on your taste just read all the bugs when viewing a ROM. I'm running a sense 3.5 ROM and prefer if better then Aosp. Hope I helped.
a good rom? I would prefer, asop with camera working, 4g dose not mater much. But i will use a sense rom aslong as its fast themed and tweaked. Help me out if you can.
Why not just browse through the development forums and read on what the aosp roms offer.... There aren't that many.
yea im looking for something someone has tried or is currently running right now trust me i looked through the forums
I personally would go with Viper Rom And once Chad's Rls 14 kernel comes out flash that on top of viper and you'd have an amazing rom/kernel combo!

Im going to check that out. When dose this kernel com out? And whats the best kernel to use thats out now with this rom?
viperrom & Infected Eternity are 2 of my favorite and most current sense roms, If your set on a aosp rom, cm7 or MIUI are gonna be what you want FTW.
MIUI latest version I get like 16 to 20 hrs of battery life and that with normal usage. You can also buy Boot Manager app that way you can have a Sense rom just a boot away if you need 4g or 3d camera... thats what I did... I have MIUI and on boot manager I have Senseless rom which have a working 3d camera..
Try Cyanogenmod 7. It's 2.3 AOSP with pretty much everything working but 3D pictures (videos still work) and 4G. Look up cyanogenmod 7 in the dev section - you won't see it from browsing since it's closed right now.
Until Cyanogenmod 9 is released, there's no ICS AOSP with working cam yet.

The one that comes with the ROM is the best because it's the only one that works haha and Chad's should be out soonish
Swyped from mah 3vo!
My two favorites right now are KMyers' version of CyanogenMod 7, it's very stable, has camera working, basically only things missing are 4G and 3D, and it's also extremely fast. The other one is the infinitely customizable MIUI, which is also very stable, with only 4G, 3D and Bluetooth stereo audio missing.
Im gonna give MIUI a go for the first time. Anyone know if MIUI rom has facebook integration?

no, no AOSP ROM has native Facebook integration. I've read mentions of using Friendsync or SyncMyPix to sync contacts' pictures, in addition to using the Facebook app
I am a fan of the official alpha for CM7. I was using it as a daily driver, but now I'm itching for ICS!!!
I was given a Verizon HTC 4G Thunderbolt today. My wifes old Fascinate was on the verge of dying, so it was perfect timing. I got her all setup with her apps/contacts and she started learning how to use her new phone..... but now that she's sleeping I figured I would "enhance" her new phone and maybe learn a little something in the meantime. If I don't manage to turn it into a paperweight
I've never flashed a ROM before, but I've rooted many phones. I managed to get this one rooted and have downloaded a few roms (haven't flashed them yet), but after going through the different options it seems like you are always sacrificing something with a rom, is this normal?
I found that one rom where the wifi didn't work (this is a must for my wifes limited data plan), I found another rom where the camera didn't work (We have 3 kids and her phone is basically her camera), I found another one where 4G wasn't supported (she's going from a 3G to a 4G phone, I want her to use that feature).
Anyway, it just seems like each one has something that doesn't work...Is this normal or did I just happen to click on the ones that have issues?

Which ROMs have you downloaded? I'd recommend ThunderShed for a Gingerbread base. I used that for several months without issue. I'm on Liquid's ICS now and only have the reported camcorder issue although the camera still works.
I haven't flashed anything yet, I just started downloading roms and happened to notice that Liquid didn't have a working video camera. I can't remember the names of each one, but as mentioned before, one didn't have a working wifi, one didn't support 4G.... so it just seemed like each one was missing something.
I'll look into the one you mentioned, thanks!
If youre looking for a ics sense 3.6 based rom with everything working I suggest trying out nusense 3.6. its pretty good and everything seems to work. what I am running now.
If you want a GB then for aosp thundershed is the way to go. If you want a good sense gb rom skyraider is perfect when it comes to sense roms and everything works on those 2.
Oh and might want to ask your wife if she wants you messing with her phone. Messing with a womans phone is like messing with her kid not a great idea lol. I know my wife has told me if I root her phone she will kill me.

As for me rooting her phone, she doesn't have a clue what that means, she just knows that now she doesn't have ads in her games and she likes that.
She did complain that the HTC interface is way different than the Samsung interface (DUH), are there ary roms that would make it look/act like her Samsung?
Samsung usually runs aosp so if you flash liquid ics she may not notice if you use a touchwiz theme.

Also some people has had the camera to stop working also after while. Yeah sense is way different than touchwiz. You could look for a theme that mimics touchwiz.
You could download a launcher like HOLO, Go launcher and AWD (think thats what its called.) .
I will second the recommendation of Thundershed 1.6, which has been flawless since I flashed it (everything works, runs super fast and smooth, and battery life is way better than stock and most other custom ROMs). You do need to bear in mind that these are custom ROMs, meaning each is designed to reflect the priorities of the designer and involve a certain degree of risk (rooting and replacing the stock ROM invalidates warraty), but in my experience the custom ROMs I have used (only two: BAMF Son Of A Bliss aka SOAB 1.4; Thundershed 1.6) have been as stable (if not more stable) than the original Thunderbolt. Also keep in mind, *every* device is different and custom ROMs act differently on every device.
Those caveats in place, I'd research different custom ROMs, and how each can be customized with different launchers, lockscreens and themes, and try one or two out. The Sense-based ROMs will act more like the stock Thunderbolt. Sense based ROMs include SOAB, Skyraider Zeus, and BAMF Forever, and the AOSP ROMs include Thundershed, Liquid Smooth 3.2, and SFK's CM7 build. While everyone is excited about the new ICS custom ROMs they still seem pretty "BETA" (Santod's NuSense 3.6 seems furthest along) like and so I'd wait until all of the bugs are worked out and focus more on Gingerbread ROMs for your "daily driver."
Hope this helps.
