[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
man its all really personal opinion but ill give it my best review seeing as how ive used all of the ones that are available for the shift "i think"

AOSP ROMS: CM7 (Cyanogenmod 7) and Shift Deck

AOSP DEFINITION:Stock Pure Google Android. doesnt get much simpler than that.

Shift Deck: This is about as AOSP as it gets its pure stock android (think of a nexus S) Shift Deck like most AOSP roms gives great battery life. I find making it a little over a day not very hard with quite some usuage. The speed is very slick too.

My rating

Looks:7 (an opinated question)

Speed:10

Battery Life:9

Stability: 10

Features: 6

CM7: This is AOSP with a lot of different features inside of it that are hard to go through all of them. but basically if you like the look of AOSP but want more customization options and features CM7 is a great way to go

My Rating

Looks: 7

Speed 10

Battery Life:9

Stability: 8.5(only because its still in nightly builds and there are a few problems)

Features:8 (more than stock AOSP and some good ones at that)

Evervolv: Think of Shift Deck with a different stock launcher. Its codenamed Creo and has a couple different features. for that purpose to me it recieves the same score as Shift Deck

SENSE ROMS

Sense in general is what the shift comes stock with. An overlay on android made by HTC to bring further customization for the purpose of length i will not include Stock Sense 2.1

Sense 3.0 Kingdom Port: This is a full Sense 3.0 port for the evo shift its elegant and sexy and jam packed with customization. Now HTC did state Sense 3.0 would only work on NEWER devices and it does show in the port. on a stock kernel it does get really laggy with memory issues.

MY rating

Looks:9.5( i dont give looks a 10 because it sort of opiniated)

Speed:5 (it works but to me unusable)

Battery Life:7 (the port defeinently takes a toll on the battery

Features: 10

Stability: 4

MikShift-G Sense 2.1+3.0: This is based off Sense 2.1 with 3.0 features added into it. Personally this is one of my favorites. Its got a great mix of 3.0 features so you dont feel left behind and out of date and with aamikams optimizing it runs beautifully. I dont notice lag per say but there are a couple times things take just a tad bit longer to load. Added Sense 3.0 Features Include -Lockscreen,Weather,Messaging, Task Manager, and probably a couple others im forgetting

Looks:9.1 (lol)

Speed.9.5

Battery Life:9 (As good or sometimes better than AOSP)

Features:9

Stability: 9.9 (even the beta was fantastic only one KB light problem that is still in the official build)

SupremeSense 2.1+3.0. So you like the sound of Mikshift-G but you miss that 3D rosie and 3D widgets from Sense 3.0? Well here you go. SupremeSense is based off Mikshift-G but with a couple nice features Including 3D Sense 3.0 Launcher, and Darktremmors A2SD. This is a little bit more memory heavy so there is some lag but definently still usable

Looks:9.4

Speed:8.5

Battery Life:9 (same as Mikshift-G)

Features: 9.2

Stability:9

MIUI ROMS

We have a few miui ports and there basically the same just newer versions so im just going to review miui in general

MIUI (I think its said like "MY-U-I") is very umm "different" or in alot of ways its not different. if you have ever used or seen an iphone then you have a sense (no pun intended) of what the MIUI launcher is like. Its based of of AOSP but it doesnt look like it. It has an iOS type feel to it. It has no app drawer all your icons are on the homescreens and you scroll left and right through them. you have the ability to make folders like in iOS which seems to be an essential part in MIUI. You have a lockscreen sort of like Sense 1.0-2.1.

Its got a different way of handling text messages. and menu systems and the whole UI of the phone has its own unique feel that you have to try out to completley understand. MIUI currently does not support 4G so if you use it your SOL. but it is definently worth checking out

It does run across MMS issues sometimes too. Miui has its own personal theme manager that will theme anything from sounds to design asthetics to bootanimations, and lockscreens including options for sense 3.0 type lockscreens. its a very complete theming process. Think of it as HTC Hub on Steroids.

My Rating:

Look:8.9(once again opiniated question)

Speed:9 (generally very slick)

Battery Life:9 (AOSP like Battery Life)

Stability: 7.5 (this is miui's lowest point)

Features. 9 (its very unique in features)
