[Xicor]

Hey everyone

Would like to see others opinion
To the question.

But this time I am looking for a rom

And not laggy
I downloaded grand theft auto 3 and its
soooooooo laggy
So I would like everyone's opinion
On whig ROM is great to use
For 3D games

I really don't know the answer to your question however it would seem to me that an ASOP ROM would be your best bet. They are a lot more trimmed down than Sense ROMS. This should give you more RAM for your Gaming. Do understand though that the more you put on the phone the slower it will be.

and what's a good kernal to run with this
Do you happen to know ?

Depends on what AOSP ROM you want.
Most people like the Tiamat Kernel for AOSP
Check out the ROM and Kernel page here on the forums if you click the second sticky there is a link in there.

Its honestly going to be more about overclocking your kernel that it is the ROM..

Sure having a lightweight ROM will help, but its gonna require overclocking to have things smooth

I kinda think a lot of the newer games are going to under perform on our beloved evo.
There are so many devices out with dual core a gig of RAM plus good graphics hardware. The app and game development is passing the OG evo up.
I agree with both argedion and Rxpert. An aosp Rom will slim things down and a custom kernel will allow for overclocking. Sadly there is a line where these just won't make the mustard.
I still can't believe I have to post that the beast of cell phones is becoming inadequate.

Yeah my dad gets a yearly update but he is fine with his phone.... so I'm thinking I might snag his update.


Problem is I'm not impressed with any of sprints current offerings. I like the Galaxy SII but Im still not sold on it.

Help!!!!!!!
Ok so I downloaded the aosp ROM
And the tiatim kernal I think thatd what it was called
I wiped and then flashed rom first
and then kernal
After i installed kernal
I rebooted and the phone never started back up
It just kept rebooting after the white htc evo screen then turn off and boot
I nandroided restore and now figuring what happend or advice PleSe

 

[Rxpert83]

Did you do a full wipe? Sounds like that is the problem.

What exactly did you wipe?

Are you able to get into bootloader?

Recovery?

 

[Xicor]

I wiped
Cache
Delvic Cache
Data

Then flashed the rom from sf card

Waited

Rebooted

Went back to boot loader
recovery

Wiped cache
Delvic cache

Rebooted

Never came back on just kept rebooting

which rom did you flash? it could be a bad download or a bad flash. did you make a nandroid backup? you can just do a nandroid restore of your previous rom and then re-flash the rom.

also what recovery are you using?

 

[Xicor]

ok just to clear some terminology for you, revolutionary is what you used to get rooted. what you are trying to refer to is clockwork mod that is your recovery. and i would switch recoveries to amon ra. it is a much better recovery. you can get the directions from the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html.

also it is a good idea to know the exact name of the rom and what kind of rom it is. i now that you are new to this, but it will help us to be able to help you if you run into any issues.

i think this is the rom you are on right now, correct?[ROM][9.9.11][CPU Conf.+VOC][1.2ghz] EVOlvedROM r3chargeD Final "Can't Stop Me Now" - xda-developers. and if so that is a sense rom.

and as far as roms go are you looking for aosp or sense?

for aosp i would try xplod rom(there is a sense version to), cm7 and deck's

for sense i would try mikg. mik3d, and tommytomatao's classic evo rom.
