I've tried both and like both. Mean is mainly a stock look with a lot of under the hood improvements. Mikvirgin has different improvements (including Leedroid tweaks which you can flash separately in Mean) and a nice skin. I give the edge to Mean in terms of battery and speed, Mikvirgin in terms of look.
Personally, my daily is Zr3dx. It is smooth due to always on dual core and the theme is beautiful. Battery life is pretty good too. I also might try the latest Nocturnal tonight because their rom is great too.
So many great ics roms for the 3d it is too hard to choose. I just bounce around as devs release updates.

Hey everybody recently obtained a Samsung Vibrant, looking for the best rom with UV/OC capabilities and some mods, perhaps.
I flashed two I897's (rogers branded) with quite good results untill i had to make the download mode device due to a AT&T / Rogers compatability issue concerning a stock rom and then custom rom with a not-so-working kernel
So I'm asking for some assistence in the rom/kernel department here and what works best... I love big flashy roms but would take something bland if the battery life and speed was enhanced greatly speed over battery though and 3D wouldn't hurt either.
Cheers, Red Hazy
Most GB roms including CM7 and MIUI have terrible battery life but excellent performance. If your looking for superior battery life flash Bionix 1.3.1 with overstock 2.4.1 kernal. Otherwise try as many different roms as possible to see which one is best for your needs.

The GB/CM7 based ROMs can be fast, but the battery life is horrid. I'd recommend any of the 2.2.1 ROMs myself, either my new one (plug), or for something more proven, Bi-Winning V3. Combine that with Bali-X and you can overclock or undervolt to your heart and battery's content. If you (and your phone) can handle more than a 1.2ghz overclock, there are other kernels that can do that as well.
Hey fellow Evo3d-owners!
I noticed that there's a lot of ROMs for the CDMA EVOs, and the selection for GSM EVOs is a little more thin...
But which GSM ROM is the best in your opinion, and which should I try out?
I'm pretty satisfied with the batterylife on the stock-ROM, which ROM has the best batterylife?
And finally: I'm pretty happy with the performance of the stock ROM. Are all of the custom ROMs as fast and smooth as the stock?
Thanks!
(If I'm so happy sith the stock ROM, why would I want to change the ROM, you might ask? My main reasons are: CRT animation (lol!) and to get rid of the Rogers intro crap and apps. Also: Even though I'm happy with how smooth it is, it scores pretty low on all the benchmarks, so I'm curious whether a custom ROM might get even better performance)
I tried all the GSM ROMs, they are all good but I do get ramdon freeze from time to time.
It never happened with stock rom., so if I were you I will stick with stock untill something more exciting coming out.
Hi guys ,
as you are well aware I'm new here, and have made an account on XDA so I can share my opinion and also read yours in hope of a solution.
Anyway I'm currently running an official 2.3.6 ROM on my Ace, and have gone through just about everything the Development section has to offer, from TheMyths' ICS to unofficial CM7 Kang builds, but I'm still looking for a perfect blend of stability, battery, lag free (smooth) ROM's.... And need help deciding.
So far I've noticed that the CM7 builds seem to have the best performance (benchmarked by Quadrant standard) and works fine, however I haven't had the time to observe the battery life...
Ultimately an ICS clone would be sick, I love the style, since CM looks fugly in my opinion.
Also would like to know what kind of tweaks you guys use for your Aces' to get a little extra juice from your batteries...
Thanks
Hm....You could try and use SGS2 rom from space caker,or gingercruzt or infinity,both from nims11

The battery life, as reported by many users including me, tends to be rather relatively miserable.

If you want a very convincing ICS look alike, I suggest you pick out a CM7 build and download AChep's ICS theme.

I'm using GadgetCheck's V8.5 Supercharger tweaks, plus Slaid's SlaidFASTMod V2.5 (not updating to his new LagFree scripts since I experience some odd UI lags here and there (ironically)).
If you really want to save on your batteries, try setting your governor to conservative or powersave (though powersave will lag your phone to the point of 1984) and don't overclock (flash a non-OC kernel, if you want).
And check out JuiceDefender. It'll turn off radio connections when the screen is off, and I saved around 165% worth of battery life with that app. The only downside is is that it ****s up with push notifications, and I need those for my IM and email.
EDIT:
I forgot, you asked for a specific ROM.
Well, I for stability and efficient battery consumption, I recommend you just stick with stock ROM (or something based on it), since it was compiled specifically for SGA hardware. My longest relationship with a stock ROM was fla.sh's fla.sh X2.3 ROM followed by sametpoyraz's Glsmt 2.1 (I know it says Glsmt 3.0, but a download link was never provided). Both of them are considered dead projects, but that doesn't mean that the ROMs aren't half bad!
Thanks [/QUOTE]
i've had problems flashing 2.3update of that rom, have you tried the rom?
I Am useing The Infinity Rom Final And Its Great With Performace And Good With Battery Life!
Bye And Salam.

For stability and speed, I hands down recommend ICS Final. The rom I'm using. As for battery life, you can have the best battery with ANY kind of rom. Just check out the thread on my signature ;D
Thanks for all the replies to my thread thus far... will definitely try that SetCPU... As far as Slaids scripts go however, I did once try that but found my device would have lag, that being screen tearing.
I just wanted to create a thread that allows people to compare various ROMs as they come out for our device. So far we have 7 options it seems:
1) Stock
2) ViperROM
3) Charmeleon (PKMN ROM)
4) Fresh ROM
5) freEVO
6) SlimJewel
7) CM9 (not quite finished, but usable)
Personally, I am curious how they compare in terms of battery life, but other things such as performance and tweaks are obviously relevant. What do you all prefer so far?
Note: I've tried half of these already, but I'm curious what others are experiencing, and figured this will help those who can't decide.

1. Meh...good battery life
2. Not much going on there
3. Lots of tweaks. featured rich. Poor battery
4. Fresh and clean silky smooth. Best battery life of all 4 roms. I like this one the best.
1. Stock is stock. if somethings not working, it's not because of something you did. Good battery life. Pretty darn smooth for the most part.
2. Best battery life due to performance tweaks. Light on built in personalization tweaks, but because it's been out the longest, there are additional mods from other threads that were created specifically for this rom. All mods and tweaks in the op work. Devs seem to have no lives, and are super responsive to the thread.
3. Port of a rom from another phone. Lots, and I mean lots, of tweaks listed in the op. Most of them work correctly (and make your phone freaking awesome when they do) , but there are a few noticeable ones that have bugs, and require workarounds. Op doesn't indicate which tweaks aren't working correctly (or at all). Although battery life is still pretty respectable, it seems to have the worst battery life out of all of the roms (perhaps the performance tweaks aren't working either). Runs maybe a hair smoother than viper.
4. Stock rom with some personalization tweaks, all of which work. Because there have been no performance tweaks (yet), battery and performance will match what you get with the stock rom.
5. FreEVO rom. Why no love for Freeza? Anyway, rom is smooth and somewhat senseless, with rosie and some default apps removed. Also has a good number of tweaks. Most lightweight of the roms. Battery life seems better than stock, but not as good as viper.
Considering the phone launched less than a month ago, all of these roms are tremendous, and you can't really go wrong running any of them (except for basic stock, bleah).
Thanks for reminding me, I added FreEVO to the OP.
I'm gonna check out Fresh next. I've been running Charmeleon for a while now, but haven't honestly done that much in terms of tweaks.
Battery life winner seems to be Viper or Fresh so far?
Edit: Added new SlimJewel to OP as well!

So far I have only tried Chameleon and Fresh.
I did get great battery life with Chameleon (25% battery after 15 hours of moderate to heavy use), but random bugs, broken tweaks, odd lag, and redraws tempted me to try Fresh.
Two days on Fresh and so far its great. It has all the tweaks that I wanted (except the AOSP recent apps menu), and battery life has been decent. I havent given it the chance to settle unplugged long enough to really compare though. Right now I'd say Chameleons battery life was better, but Fresh is running much smoother and consistent.
I'm sure I'll be flashing at some point Viper in the near future if Fresh doesn't put out an update to keep my flash happiness in check!
Oh, I did add a battery mod to Fresh successfully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681063
I think I'm gonna jump on the Fresh bandwagon once update 1.1 hits.
Also, added CM9 to OP since it is usable as daily driver if you don't mind losing mobile data.

Anyone try the tweaked kernel on conjunction with the Fresh ROM? Better multitasking or battery life?

+1 for Fresh. All the tweaks I wanted without the fluff. Well, almost everything. Would love the auto brightness reduction and long press Recent Apps button for Voice Search. But it is only the first release...

Battery life any different from stock or other ROMs you've run? In my limited experience, none of these ROMs alter battery life much yet.

Yeah, as the title says. I stopped using this AWESOME phone because I now have an LG optimus G. However, I wanna use this phone as a portable gaming device (might get gameklip/ps3 controller) because I know there's a lot of awesome emulators out there. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me take advantage of this phone's power in terms of performance for gaming? Batterywise, I don't mind if it can only last like 5 hours of straight gaming or even less.
1. What model of the Evo 3D do you have (CDMA/GSM, Evo 3D, Evo V, Evo 4G+) - EVO 3D GSM
2. What ROM are you currently running? King Cobra ICS
3. Is your Evo 3D rooted and/or S-OFF? S-OFF
4. What is important to you in a ROM (features, customization, performance, battery life, etc.)? Gaming Performance, Music Quality and maybe some decent battery life.
5. Do you plan to run a custom kernel to OC/UV or for additional features like USB host? ??? don't get this question
6. If you have a preference between Sense and AOSP ROM's please include that. - Don't mind, but I like the Senseless look
7. Indicate if you are looking specifically for a GingerBread, Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean based ROM. - Would like ICS, or Jelly Bean but I prefer performance over this.
8. Must have features that don't work on all ROM's like Wi-Fi tethering, WiMax 4G, and 3D camera. - Wifi Tether
+ kernel suggestions and any add-ons that will improve my phone's performance is greatly appreciated.
PS. I don't mind if I can't play games in SUPER HIGH QUALITY as long there's no lag.

1. EVO 3D GSM
2. Stock ICS, rooted, deodexed and zip-aligned
3. S-OFF
4. First and foremost battery, performance, music performance and gaming performance
5. Yes. Latest Anryl kernel, overclocked to 1,5GHz and undervolted
6. I personally prefer AOSP (CyanogenMod), but since the battery life and gaming performance is not that great at this moment, I stick to stock ICS. Apart from that, CM beats Sense on all fronts.
7. Some may argue Gingerbread is best for gaming, but I highly doubt that. IMO stock ICS is the best gaming ROM at the moment, until the devs improve the 3D performance in their CM10 ROMs.
8. Must-have features: everything besides 3D and Wi-Fi tethering. Those are not important to me.

and this combination actually provides the best gaming experience?
Viper is pretty fast, at least on cdma phones it is.
Honestly not every one phone is the same, you are better off trying a multitude of configurations. Grab 5 different roms and 3 different kernels and try them all! A good game to test with is GTA III.
