This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I would reccommend trying several for yourself and deciding which you like the most. Just as you can see from the responses so far, everyone has their own favorites and for different reasons, you might as well see which you like the most. I for one like Damage Control.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nrre:
ive used CM6 nightlies for a few months now.

i have tried Baked Snack, Fresh, Calks, etc

Of those I think i liked Baked Snack the most. Fresh always seemed a touch laggy to me, not sure if I ever tried it with a different Kernel though.

Right now i'm ont he 9/20 nightly of Cyanogenmod, and i'm using the 7.6BFS kernel in Turbo mode....and hit a 2605 Quadrant score...

everything is just smooth.

but i'm looking into going back to a sense rom. But i use ADW Launcher, just love it.

Right now, I'm using fresh, It used to work great I just updated to the latest one. It is very laggy to me but I believe that is my fault haha. I backup system data along with apps in titanium backup then restored all. I'm actually searching for a different rom but Fresh has been great to me. Also, I really want to try cyanogen its just not all the things work yet. I know cyanogen has great stuff and hes been in the game a very long time. When i has my g1 a few years back, his rom was the only one I touched, So smooth and nice. Most likely my choice with be cyanogen when everything is fixed, and I havent even used it on the evo!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
I guess alot of people just don't reply to Questions on this forum very often compared to Development posts. I would recommend trying out Myn's Warm Two Point Two. I used to use Fresh but wanted to try out Myn's when it came out because it looked like an awesome rom, needless to say I'll never look back. The numbers on Myn's rom post don't lie. Also, I feel it is important that a dev regularly contributes to posts on their rom, which Myn does. I tried Cyanogen one time, and just wasn't a fan, plus the broken 4g is a deal breaker for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
the beauty with the evo is there are so many quality ROM's to try out, you should really try them all out. I only run sense based roms because it allows me to sync with my exchange email, so i would recommend trying these out as i have:

in no particular order

- Baked snacks

- Fresh

- Myn's

- Any calk ROM

- there are a couple of sense basic ROM's as well

there is also AOSP based ROM's that if work for you give them a shot. the beauty is, the one that does what you want is the best ROM for you

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
The best one for me is the one I made to fit my use. Use the dsixda kitchen to start and slowly you will get deeper into customizing it past the kitchen. I don't use other roms anymore because if something isn't working you have to wait for them to fix it. I keep a stock rooted backup on hand when I am building my rom in case something is not working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnulldroid:
Using Virus AirBorne 4.2, beta test 4.6 and also use Myns. Also tried Virus REVolution RC1 and recommend it.

Kernels is another story.. I havent found just the right one or combo yet, although so far Virus AirBorne 4.2 with ziggy kernel 11/13 is awesome for batt life and speed. Yes, I switch ROMS like a theme or wallpaper. Lovin the thrill of newness, tweaking and getting more out of my EVO I guess.

Definitely voting for Myn's rom...it's the one that finally got me to stop flashing roms all the time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Another vote for Myn 2.2. Fresh was my first rom after rooting and was great. But Myn one ups it for me. Also tried CM6 just recently. And while it is faster. It has too many quirks that sense roms dont seem to have. Like the gallery app sucks and you cant install the htc version..the htc smart dialer is so awesome after you dont have it..email app is weird..got one a couple days ago that said it was from 1969?!! Yeh its a cool rom..but it aint for me..but you gotta try it for yourself. Id say go with myn last cause youll proly stick with it! Also i get about 18-22 hours of battery with lots of use (meaning i dont hold back..if i want to use my phone i will!) with Myn RLS 3 which comes with htc kernel #10. RLS 4 is out now which comes with htc kernel #17 ( i think!). Not sure how the battery is on that though, and mines been so good im not upgrading. Well... unless i get that well known gotta flash something bug up my a**. Lol. Oh only thing bout Myns rom is while the font that comes with it is totally awesome in every way (Classy!!) It doesnt read to well on some apps like the browser. I stuck with it for a while, but had to change it ( with a flashable font pack) so i didnt have to squint so hard!! Good luck

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
i personally love myns, but you need to try a few. list:

myns: totally themed. you wont believe it is the same phone. amazing.

ava v10: very, very smooth. everything is blue where it should be green.

cyanogenmod (its aosp): very popular, enourmous development project that spans across many phones. built off of aosp.

virusrom: i also need to try this one. seems popular

ultimatedroid (also aosp): no idea

fresh: SOME people get incredible battery life. almost double original. might as well see if you are one of these people.

maybe a sense hd rom. there are a few out there.

evo has a bunch of great roms to sift through. all the ones i have listed have some major goods.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vonsk:
Virus was my favorite until I tried MIUI and that, in my experience, is the best ROM you can get right now that isn't Gingerbread.

MIUI adds Airplane mode, Reboot/Shutdown, Sync and all other power options to the pull-down menu which is a HUGE plus. Very stable, and has LOTS of awesome themes you can apply (not that the stock theme (iPhone-esque) isn't great already). Very stable, very awesome.

I was running OMFGB by R2doesinc for Gingerbread because I couldn't stand waiting for HTC/Sprint to release it... Totally getting impatient, but then just ended up going back to MIUI because of the features and customization.

If MIUI did Gingerbread, would be the best ROM ever imho.

Hope this helps :cool:

How hard is it to do this?

Plug in USB, turn on Disk Drive mode on phone, open windows explorer, find the appropriate folder and put your music or whatever else you want on there.

Much more faster then using other programs. iTunes is a horrible program, don't even know why you would touch it with a 10ft pole.

HTC Sync 3.0 introduced iTunes syncing/Windows Media syncing

Currently 3.0 isn't really supposed to be made available for US phones, but it does work with the Incredible.

I've heard and read so many good comments about ANDROID, I decided it was time to make the switch and I went for the X10 yesterday. I was very excited !!

But after one day of use I am starting to feel frustrted... the more I play with the phone, the more I feel trapped and lost: I need help !!

FILE SYSTEM

- A file explorer was not present (a bad vibe went down through my spine...), so I downloaded a couple of "file explorers" from the market and tried to explore the phone's contents but I couldn't :confused:

How can I explore/browse the phone's folders and files ?? (not the SD card, but the phone itself), hidden / system files included ??

EDIT Rooting + Estrongs File Explorer solves this

- How do I save content into the phone's memory ?? (not the SD card)

EDIT Rooting + Estrongs FE solves this

APPS FOLDER

- How can I customize the apps folder ??

- How to rearrange the shortcuts ??

- How can I edit a shortcut ??

- How can I create a shortcut for an app listed as "installed" but lacking a shortcut to be launched (no shortcut for voice recorder or latitude) ??

EDIT Estrongs FE can create shortcuts to the "home" at least...

CONTACTS

- How can I sort my contacts ?? (Last/First name)

- Where is the option to assign each one's facebook pic to its contact ??

USABILITY

- How to enable haptic feedback ??

EDIT Only the keyboard can provide haptic feedback, still finding a way to enable it everywhere, throughout the whole system

- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??

- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ?? (email app)

- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??

EDIT Third party note apps solve this

- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!

EDIT Yes I know I canzoom with th onscreen buttons, an OS refresh will solve this

- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery charge percent ??

EDIT Yeah this is one of those "I have to switch my mind from WM to android" ones, so consider it solved

- And where is the battery page at all ??

EDIT Found. I am such a stupid android noob LOL !!

- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??

- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk" but I can't find it on the phone nor market)

EDIT I was able to install gtalk after rooting, had to search for the APK myself

ANDROID is supposedly "open" and "user friendly"

Being new to Android, it' probably my fault/lack of experience only.

Am I missing something here ??

What's going on ??

I am as confused as Adam on mother's day :confused:

[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
the same thing happened to me xD

and I know you and I come from an x1 XD

is not that hard, you have to check the options for the 3g if not say bye to the battery gauge also to your data plan if you have o.0
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
I suggest you open the User Manual that came with your phone.

Most of your questions will be answered in it. There's no double-tap to zoom in 1.6, but will arrive with the 2.1 update later this month. Having a capacitive screen has absolutely 0.000000% to do with it.

Also, a lot of your questions can be solved by a "Long Press"... aka, hold on the item you want to select for a second.
[XPERIA X10 General] gtrab:
If it only were as easy as a "long press"... huh...

But your second point is valid: some of my issues with the phone could be related to the old OS... maybe an OS refresh will help

@alankstiyo:

Indeed I went X1 -> X2 -> Topaz -> HD2 -> back to X2 :D

This is my first android experience and it is not fulfilling my expectances, maybe they were too high...

For the system files I think you have to root your phone first, and install Astro File Manager.

You can manage your file (system or SD card) there, including copy, paste, move, etc.

USABILITY

- How to enable haptic feedback ??

Sorry I don't know about this one

- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??

First of all, what are u trying to save? If you're trying to save an

attachment from email, I think the file is going into the SD card (default folder is 'download')

- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ??

What is the another application that you're are talking about? I think

different apps have different style for handling this matter

- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??

Just long press on the text note's screen, and choose 'paste'. I've tried

to copy my messages text to easy note, and it's works.

- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!

What are you trying to zoom? For photos in mediascape you just have to

tap twice, for browser there's an option tools that allow you to zoom in or out. In Dolphin browser

you can zoom in and out by gesture. Pinching won't work, because X10 doesn't support multitouch

- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery

charge percent ??

Use the 'battery indicator pro' apps, you can find it in Market. The apps

can show you how much percent that your battery's life left, the battery temperature (so you don't

overheat the phone).

Or you can type this at your dialer : *#*#4636#*#*. It'll show you the battery information along

other information about your phone

- And where is the battery page at all ??

What battery page?

- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??

I think you can't multi select your contact but CMIIW

- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk"

but I can't find it on the phone nor market)

I have this apps from the start that i bought it, it's a default apps for android phone

Sorry for my mess up english guys

Yep, the timescape feature is cool. But I don't know why ppl doesn't like it a lot.

If you want to add icons to your default desktop, just press the 'menu' button from your phone (located lower left of the phone), then select 'add' (there's a 'plus' icon), then you can choose to add your application shortcuts, widgets, or folders.

To move the icon, just long press the icon you want (till the phone vibrate) and just slide to move it.
