Hi Friends:

I have my HTC Evo 4g with CyanogenMod v7.0.3.1-Supersonic ROM and it's working fine but I would like to have Android Version: 2.3.5...

- Do you really recommend me SalvageMod 1.4?
- How do you compare between SalvageMod 1.4 and CyanogenMod v7.0.3.1?
- What are the Advantages and Disadvantages for SalvageMod 1.4?

Thanks in advanced for your answers and comments.

In all honesty the best way is to make a nandroid and flash it and find out for urself....anyone on here can hype up a rom because its THEIR favorite but there may be some things that YOU dont like about it....Granted its nice to have the opinions on the different roms as far as stability, speed, battery life, etc...To me all the AOSP roms are pretty much the same in most ways...some have more apps than others....some run different launchers....some have more built in customizing features....plus a lot of the devs work with each other and help out with each others roms, so something you see on the salvagemod might be the same as in a cyanogenmod...i am running the Destroyer V.2 right now there are lots of things in it that is from Cyanogenmod...but one thing i do like about the Destroyer v.2 is that it lets you choose what launcher you want to use...AWD or Launcher Pro....and they have a lot of their own icons instead of a lot of the stock ones your used to seeing...all in all, really, they are all very good roms...

do you know if the dev(magnusragnarok) ever fix the black text issue for destoryer v2?

as for salvagemod? i was not a big fan of it. but like deravyn said make a nandroid backup and try it out. i was on an aosp rom kick for awhile, but now i like sense 3.0 roms. try it out and let us know what you think of it.

He says on the XDA thread that its fixed....but its still doing it when you go into the android market....it doesnt do it on text messaging, the background is white...but since the new market has a black background, you cant see NOTA lol...

I like AOSP cuz they are fast, granted you can get a fast Sense rom too with the right configurations....but what keeps me on AOSP is that dang SBC kernel lol....If there was an SBC for sense, i would switch back

I ran kings aosp neon themed rom for a day ..... went to restart phone and lost all my data.. all text ...contacts.. everything... I cant deal with that so i switched back to evolved. I cant get away from evolved. Its the most stable reliable rom ive used so far. CM7 is petty stable as well. I did like how smooth the kings rom ran and it was fast. A bit smoother than CM7.1 even.

Kings AOSP has a bunch of issues....i dont even think they update it or even plan to fix it seeing is how they are putting sense 3.0 roms up...i had the Kings AOSP on it for like 10 minutes and got like 10 different force closes...even tried to do the whole flashing process over and still the same thing....even on the thread at XDA people were complaining about it...
