I've been trying to compare cdma gb roms, but other than mean rom they're all virtues and hard to find. I'm guessing they are just finished and everyone had moved on to ics. I was wondering if someone could do a rollup thread for them, like the rollup sticky thread it would make it a lot easier to find them.
CDMA or GSM? And yes, most devs have moved to ICS since it is very stable now. If you really want to run a GB rom, there really weren't that many, maybe 15 or so, just scroll through the dev sections.

In everyone's honest opinion what is currently the fastest and most stable custom Ics rom out there
All current ICS builds are alphas/betas. Not for novice users (despite what fanboys in various threads might tell you). The only way you're going to find out is to head over to the development forums, read a few of the ICS rom threads, then try one/some out for yourself.
Yep, just go read and search and try them out yourself. Nobody can answer this for you, so we close these threads.
Thanks
This Forum is meant for the newest/latest roms .....e.g. AOSP, CM, or AOKP source builds. Kernels from factory source also can be posted here.
If you are porting a rom, it belongs in the normal development section, not here.
Stock roms should also be placed here The ones from Samsung themselves as in new versions, new updated versions can go here as well. Not ones you jacked, cooked or modified..... those go in the other regular development section.
Also, Roms an Kernels that bring forth something new in coding ideas or revolutionary changes that other roms do not have should also be posted here...
Thank you, oka1
Forgive my noobness. but seems im having trouble finding a central location to locate roms.
i have already rooted my evo 3d. however it was some time ago and does not allow for updates. I'v gotten my data in order and would like to flash with a new rom to get all the updates and new os version that iv been missing out on. to my recollection i can DL the rom to my card, then boot to load that rom, but i was hoping someone can point me in the direction on the forum where i can start looking at new roms. and maybe even a rom that will allow me to update if its possible. thinking of going without sense.
thanks for the advice.
All the roms are in the Development sub-forum.

also, these are the longest 10 posts I have ever been forced to make before I get to post in my topics of interest~
Hello there,
I am new to the S2 phone (I will get one at the end of the month from a friend).
I see that there are lots of roms and kernels.
Now what I am searching for is:
Super optimized rom like Tigrouzens rom for Samsung Wave 1 and 2.
Also kernel super optimized.
With other words. a really fast rom (I don't want outdated roms).
Preffered android version:
4.3.X Jelly Bean / 4.4 Kitkat
Also, I don't really know how to install those roms/kernels. So a simple tutorial should do it. Because I once flashed one through odin from pc and not through recovery.
Greetings,
GreekBlood
Go to the development sections (Android Development & Original Android Development), read some threads, try out some roms to find one that suits your needs. Instructions for flashing roms are always on the first page devoted to the rom & always very clear.
Rom recommendations are forbidden here because they're so subjective, mods will close the thread if you insist on asking for them (this is XDA after all, if you're here, it's assumed you like flashing stuff to your phone).

And the best ROM is................................................................. LOL
I predict thread soon to be closed (i am psychic haha)
Oh, sorry.
But it is a bit of a mess here. So many roms, so many kernels.
I'm coming from wave 1 where we have 2 roms and 2 kernels.
Being a newbie, i being in you shoes a few days ago would advice you to start with understanding the fundamentals og flashing and use of the various recoveries out there. You say its a mess because you see so many roms and kernels and you dont know where to begin. Pick one and start and with time you will catch up with the rest. Good luck...modding and customizing android is like a rabbit whole...no end...

Reading the first page & last 10 pages of any rom/kernel thread will give you a couple of things:-
*Instructions how to flash & features
*Some idea of how users are finding the most recent build/any issues
That's a good place to start.
Some people treat this place like a macdonalds drive-thru.

I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE loaded with DigitalKarma that I bought from a friend.
When I look at Software Information it says that the Android version is 2.3.5 which I believe is what the phone launched with. The Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE spec page on this site says that it's Android 4.0.3. Should I infer that I could just upgrade to Android 4.0.3 rather than a mod?
I'm looking for the latest greatest stable mod out there but I'm not finding any reviews or anything. What mod(s) would you recommend for someone that never wants to change mods again? These mods fall into different families that I know nothing about yet, so suggestions for mods of the different types might be good. Mods that seem to stand out in my searching are Dirty Unicorns, Beanstalk, and Viper 4G.
I'm not a developer or tester or anything; I'm just a guy that wants a good end user experience without a lot of complication and heartache.
Thanks people.
I must have asked a touchy question. The internet is too full of opinions to not yield one after a few hours. Let me start over:
It looks like my choices are Sense based (stock?) or AOSP based. People seem to be very happy with some of the AOSP roms but I've also seen that there have been problems with camera functions and menu buttons. Are there any AOSP builds out there that have solved these problems? And to what extent? Perhaps sense based is better for a noob like myself. I've read of some Sense based roms being as configurable as AOSP roms.
Most of what I have read about OSs for the 4G LTE were written before 2013. I get the impression that development has stopped for many of the mods that are out there. Maybe they were complete, or maybe the developers got new phones; idk. I'm looking for ROMS that are the most fully developed. I don't want to install a ROM that stopped development before it could reach its full potential (lacking features that hadn't been figured out at the time).
Do you have any suggestions on which mods I should try? Tell me what you like about them if you can. Or tell me that I'm a dumb ass and that I should've searched the forums and found the thread where someone asked the same exact question last week.
Thank you everyone. If it wasn't for you developers I probably wouldn't be able to have a smart phone at all.

IMO, Sense is the most stable on this device. The last official RUU that HTC released was 4.3. You'll find all the instructions you'll need in my guide down in my sig. There are more current Lollipop roms you can flash, but aren't as stable.

I haven't done anything yet but this helps a lot. Thanks also for the version recommendation.
I have one more question regarding the process. Since someone has already loaded DigitalKarma on this phone, should I follow one of the guides from the beginning of the process? Are there different instructions for a phone that's already been flashed?

Depends on what you want to accomplish. I suggest that you follow the guide from the beginning. The 4.3 RUU has an updated partition table for the phone which newer roms use. By flashing the RUU, you will unroot your phone. The rest of the guide will get you back to root. It's a little bit of work, but it should be fairly simple since the guide walks you through it all. If you really don't want the stability issues of Lollipop right now, there are quite a few stable KitKat roms that are really good.
