I posted this over in another forum but thought I would share it. Hope this helps someone.

Alright guys, this is just a rough list of the available ROM's and Kernels for the Evo Shift. Thought it might be a little easier to put them all in one place. I did leave off a few older ROM's and Kernels that have been sitting dormant. I'm sure that I missed some, so please let me know and I'll add it to the list.
I'll try my best to keep this updated.

There's a few kernel that you can only get from Kernel Manager. In case you don't already have it, here's a link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teamwin.kernelmanager.free&feature=search_result There's a paid and a free version.
 
now if only there were hope for those of us not rooted and pushed through the 2.3.3 update...

i would be perfectly happy with a temp root solution similar to Z4 on froyo...

i want my tethering back :(

X99 seems to trying to create a zip that will RUU back to Froyo.. hasn't had any success yet, but at least someone is trying.

I'm not real sure what your talking about... Are you talking about the file hosting sites is asking you to install stuff?

I think so, I went to the link in your description for the rsl1 rom and after i downloaded from the link i tried to open it and at first I noticed the file wasnt even a zip file like the description had said instead it was a set up file?

You click the wrong download or something... The download should be named synergy.xx.blah.zip (obviously not the real name)

Is there an u
9pdated list by any chance Crump? This was a couple months ago and I'm curious if there has been any updates to the Roms and Kernals. I'm looking for a stock-ish ROM that will run without hiccups, and a Kernal that i can overclock. Any ideas?

Yeah, I haven't updated this thread in about 2 months.. Guess I'm slacking :p

If you're looking for a stable stock-ish ROM, I would suggest the latest MikShifted-G. If you want something with a few more bells and whistles, check out Supreme Sense. Both ROMs are in the list. There's only 2 custom kernels for Gingerbread Sense right now, x99's and dodge's.. I haven't added them to the list yet but I'll get some link when I get off work. They are over at xda if you can't wait :D

I was under the impression that you aren't able to get custom kernals for Mikshift. "Something to do with the source code". Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still learning :p

HTC FINALLY released the source about a month ago.. So we now have oc'ed kernels for Gingerbread Sense.

Here's the link for Dodge's kernel [Kernel] Dodgekernel v1.6 SENSE (uv, oc, bfq, bash, ext3, and ext4) - xda-developers

Here's for X99's [KERNEL] 2011-10-30 - x99kernel OC/UC/UV 1.2/1.8GHz smartass - Sense & CM7/AOSP - xda-developers
He has several different kernels, just make sure you use the one for GB Sense.

Thanks Crump. So I've decided on Mikshift Executive ROM and the Dodge Kernal. Anything I should know before starting?:eek:

Few things, Make a nandroid backup. It's always good to have a least one backup just case something happens. Wipe dalvik, cache and data at least once before flashing the ROM(can't hurt to do it multiple times)... Backup your apps if wanted.

Make sure you read the instructions for flashing Dodge's Kernel, especially if you decide to use ext-4.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Flash MikShifted v1.75 then afterwards flash the 1.76 patch. This has a few updated fixes.. then flash your kernel

So I read up on how to flash a ROM. Very simple; wipe this, wipe that, click here, click there, boom! Your ROM is flashed. So do i just flash v1.75 and then flash 1.76 as i would 1.75? Or do i need to replace the v1.75 file with the v1.76 file?
