Root Looking for a cool rom to try out

Hey guys!

I've been doing alot of searching today looking for a new stable rom to flash and was wondering if maybe you guys could help me out. I like roms with cool bootanimations (my fave part) and has 3.0 or 3.5 sense. Also I need some opinions on the best kernel to have I have never flashed one before is it the same steps as if I were flashing a rom? thanks in advance :)

If you're wanting to flash a 3.0 rom, I would suggest derp's 3.0 rom or although a bit outdated but nonetheless a great rom is Mik3D. Either way you won't go wrong.

As far as kernel is concerned, I would suggest caine's v7 sbc kernel. To flash the kernel, do this:

1. Download kernel
2. Boot to recovery
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe Dalvik cache
5. Flash kernel
6. Reboot

If you're interested in a Sense 3.5 rom, I would suggest flashing newtoroot's 3.5 rom or NRGZ's Energy rom. Both of these Roms are considered stable with mostly everything working. Except, obviously no 4G. These Roms, I would consider flashing the Anthrax kernel for beats audio reasons but flashing the kernel is a bit different. Do this:

1. Download kernel
2. Boot to recovery
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Go to mounts, unmount data
5. Flash kernel
6. Go to mounts, mount data
7. Reboot phone

Hope this helps
 
The bootanimation can be changed to whatever one you like for any ROM. So don't hesitate from flashing a great ROM just because the bootloader is plain. :p

Sense 3.5 ROMS tended to bog down my EVO after a day or so. Make sure you have a nandroid of your current setup before flash anything. :D
