Im in my testing and trying things out mood, Ive only tried MeanRom and CM10
Love both but since i got fbsync to work on CM10 im sticking with it for now.
Tell me what rom is your favorite and why
I like cm10 because i feel its a small OS and it really is smooth like butter, has great battery life, and the visuals are great as well.
MeanRom ICS
any rom with the word mean in it! :good:
I like mean bean for sense, for non sense really liked PAC man but it is gone now.

in all truth every rom has it's pro's and con's. threads like this should not be encouraged because some developers do get butt hurt, personally I could care less but to each their own. this is like asking what is the best rom to use on this device.
Tranquility all the way. The theming kicks ass.

I guess but as someone that just got an evo lte, this thread helps me get started on picking a rom without getting overwhelmed by the myriad of choices in the dev section. and it's usually the case that the most popular roms are a good place to start for newbies. will check out tranquility, mean bean, & CM10.
Meanbean is also a good rom.

I suggest trying cm10 last, i kept going back an fourth and bow im finally staying at cm10.1

If so, let's do it here! Anyone tried this ROM yet? I remember for the OG EVO, he made one of the best ROMs there was. I'm assuming based on the time this took to drop that it will also be very impressive. I honestly haven't flashed it yet, but I'm curious how it is so far. Thoughts?

Looks like at this point it's just an optimized base and he doesn't want to do a ton to it because of the possibility of a new OTA soon.
Exactly what are people expecting on a sense rom that isnt already done?
I know for a fact that when it does drop with the new base it's gonna put every other sense Rom to shame

Ehh.. I'm not saying it won't be a kickass rom, but I doubt that. There isn't much difference in performance in any sense rom. Some have awesome tweaks, some are smooth.. Some might give slightly better battery.
In the end, regardless of the sweeping statements people claim.. Sense isn't gonna get but SO smooth and battery isn't gonna get but SO good. I love Miks roms, just wish people wouldn't overdo it.

Is it being released here, or only on mikmik?
only on mikmik for now i think
Wait till he releases it with his miktweaks. Then viper 4g will have something to compete with
Sent from my EVO using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
Aren't all the tweaks pretty much like Leedroid Tweaks?
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks are what's built into viper - amaikam has some similar tweaks (ran his roms on the OG - guy's a monster - can't wait to try out his full rom when its done), but if you're looking for the original leedroid, that would be viper.
I thought they were Leedroid. I will try to learn how to do my own roms etc when I get a pc. I've been dying to make a rom called Kao Rom with help from all the beast developers like Virus, Leedroid, Toast (maybe), Mikeyxda etc. Then I'll be a great developer too, & give back to the community.
***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***
leedroid tweaks were developed by j4n87, who developed them into that pokemon rom (whose name I forget), who then worked with viperboy and vin on incorporating those tweaks into into the viper4g rom for the lte (and the other team venom roms).
Good luck with your rom - but if you really want to give back to the community, you don't need to be a developer, or even have a team (Team Transcendent, I guess? lol). Just be respectful, help people out, and try to leave xda a better and more helpful place for people to learn.
I loaded it today.
Been running MeanROM 2.6.
It has a setting in the settings to choose how you want your soft buttons mapped which is pretty cool.
It has Google Now built in like MeanROM.
And it has Sprint HotSpot enabled that actually worked for a while (I wanted a Bluetooth Tether) and could not get anything to work at all but it worked on this ROM (for a while).
I went back to MeanROM 2.6 for now because the built in Google Now has the same issues as MeanROM 2.7 and up (which has Google Now) in that it completely breaks Voice Dialing over bluetooth.
It has all the Rosie Mods too.
It's definitely more than a "base".

Do prefer sense...have used stock with goodies, liked it but discontinued, mean bean (battery issues), super jelly (like but lagged), cm10, and the windows 8 one (confusing) lol....will give tranquility or viper a try thanks

I suggest mean bean. Battery life has been awesome. I tried all other sense roms currently on jb and I like mean bean the best. Ran cm 10 for a few days and it was good but I still feel like its just not 100 percent. I like scotts clean rom distribution as well but its not on jb yet.

I am on the January 3rd, 2013 nightly of CM10 and it is absolutely perfect.
Everything works, it is super-silky smooth and completely customizable.
It is noticeably faster and more laser-sharp than the stock ROM with Sense and puts back all the functionality that the various lawsuits took out of the HTC/Sprint releases.
I am also happily using the Tranquility JB ROM. The battery life has been good and it has been bug-free.
Use Sinister's V5 ROM. Just like Stock With Goodies, Flex kanged off Sin anyway...

Well if you want to get technical, yes everyone with a sense rom kangs HTC. And if the rom developer credits the person with the mod, its not considered kanging.

Correct me if I'm wrong but to "kang" means use other people's work in your own ROM. I didn't mean it in a derogatory manner such as what you're implying. And no, I'm not trying to start a fight, I believe that's you with your tone. I'm just giving good advice.
Anyway no time no arguing with you. Goodnight lil kid

Kang = To steal or a stolen code when referring to programming. Also can refer to leaked coding. Source
If the software developer has permission and credits the original source its not considered kang since its not stolen.
Now back to what this thread is about. Personally I'm bias towards our rom (Tranquility) however; there are other good roms out there. It all depends what you are looking for. If you want a stock rom with a couple of mods, I recommend to flash stock rom, then zepp's multitasking mod, followed by OMJ's Mod Pack.

MeanBean for myself and I have done it for the rom I saw getting updated the most in ICS and it was MeanRom so when I took the leap to root my Evo I knew it would be MikeyXDA roms.
Tranquility JB, You can get it over at the mik forums, You will NOT find a smoother more stable rom.

Been there. Just ran it for about a week. Its not bad by any means, but its not MeanBean.
I've tried every Rom there is for this phone.
Another strong vote for Mean Bean. Mikey's the best.

thanks for the responses guys, with my first HTC EVO (loved it) I installed a bunch of ROMS and went with MikFroyo in the end and it was great...I just don't want to install and test a bunch on this one. I'll take the advice given here - if there's anything else I need a a heads up on feel free to share.
Surprised no one mentioned CMX. Definitely one of the fastest. Meanbean or CMX

check for link to forum in the signature
viper rom is rumored to be updated soon,
Most of the sense dev's move to themikmik.com
might want to check with them over there.
I'm using Vexxum by who MIKE D right now. It's quite nice because of how stock it is as a whole. It feels almost as if this would be the stock Sense 4 ROM that came on the phone if the Rezound came with native Sense 4. Of course, there's a few minor bugs (like any Sense 4 ROM), and for whatever reason, I can't get One Browser to work on it.
I liked stang's pure CM10.1 kang, but the AOSP camera made me jump back because I needed to get good pictures of something last week.
I haven't tried EclipticRez because the opening post is long and confusing with excessive change logs, and mcluvin's se7en skin looks ugly as sin to me.
EclipticRez is about to be updated to sense 4.1,
I wouldn't hold my breath on viper being updated, he's been promising an update for over 6 months
Sense still lives. It just seems like there are a lot of dev's working on JB sense. Most of what we have for ICS has been taken to it's logical endpoint. Although I realize that not every bug has been worked out on Sense 4+, most of those ROMs are nearly 100% and rock solid. AOSP development is more exciting now. I come back to Sense from time to time, but the cutting edge is AOSP. And I've got to say, I'm a sucker for new; even if new means bugs. But believe me, once JB Sense drops, I'll be one of the first to try.
