I'm switching phones to an evo... Does evo also use .apk as the application string? Or is it referred to something else here.. Getting ready to set up computer for the evo soon and curious to what is transferable to what I already have.....

Yup, apps are still apk format, as is in the market.

Outstanding! Thanks for your quick response... Does evo also need the computer to revert to stock if I want to switch out roms and kernels and such?

You're welcome...and ehh...technically yes and no..
Yes-If you needed to go to stock, you'd have to download an RUU, to run the exe to revert to stock
No-you really "technically" don't have to use a computer to get roms, because you can use rom manager premium [like 4/5$] and you can download from there. I personally find it easy using the computer though. The same for kernels, download the kernel, radio, ect, then put it on your sd, once that is done, boot into recovery and flash each, separately.

No problem. And it should be the same method, how you flashed roms, kernels, apks, ect. Just now you just need to make sure when you flash like a splash image, ect, to make sure its a PC36IMG zip [for the evo].

There are a plethora of ROMs available. It depends on your taste, if you prefer AOSP or if you want a Sense based ROM. Myn's, MikFroyo's, and Calkulin's are the 3 sense ROMS I use most frequently, and they are all fast and stable, just themed different. AOSP based ROMS you have CM, Evervolv, Liquid, MIUI...there really are a bunch, and everyone I've tried has been stable. You'll just have to go on a flashing binge for a week or two and see what suits you best! Kernels, there are tons of kernels as well. Lots of them. Lots and lots.

MIUI. It's the only ROM that deserves your attention. It's updated weekly, with new features added all the time.

i went from a captivate to evo as well. agree with k2buckley on roms. regarding kernels, i would first start looking at roms then after deciding on one, go from there. you'll probably wanna read up on the thread to see if the developer recommends a specific kernel and which ones are most compatible with their rom. i personally recommend any of the netarchy ones, but it's up to you and you'll have to choose which build best fits your needs.

anytime. im a long time reader, first time poster. thats what separates xda from all the other forums; a genuine community willing to help each other out w/o bashing and a minimal amount of the oh so common "use the search button" response, when that person could have easily just provided a link to the OP's question. considering the vast amount of search results, its hard to find a definitive answer w/o reading every damn thread related to the topic.
even tho im rather new to the rom scene, that is the sole reason i feel the least i can do is try to share the small amount of info or advice i have acquired from reading the forums and personal experience and give back to the community.
quick question about Partitioning my sd card...
does it make my G2 work faster with sense and other ROMS...or what does it really do for my phone?
Hmm I guess what you want to use it for would depend on what answer u get. If you want the old apps2sd method then ya you want to partition. But in general, partitioning it is not gonna change the speed of read write times or anything like thay. So if you don't have a reason to do it I would say no. Also some roms see swap/ext partitions and just assume upon using them which I never liked. So no don't do it unless you have a reason to...just me 2 cents which ain't worth much.

hm, i see. i just thought it would work some what like when G1 needed it for sense roms.
but thanks for your 2 cents, i appriciate it.
I'm running nightly 6/4. I'm loving it to death. The new lockscreen icons are great. And the semi-trans rosie is sweet, but I am having a couple issues. Booting up the phone takes FOREVER and the flip click weather sounds have stopped working. Nothing super big. I just wanted to see if it was just me.

I had this problem too....are you partitioned? If so, make sure its EXT3. Format your SD Card, put only the ROM and TB folder on the SD. Flash it, and then if it boots put all your crap back on the SD card.
Click Here for more info.
Thanx for that. I read the whole thread and I guess I'll try that but I need to charge also. I'll report back with my next problem. Errmm. I mean good news. Haha

It really depends on how many apps you plan on having. I would think 512 would be more than enough though. I have 1gb partitioned on my 16gb card and I barely fill it up.

Ok, so I have been using cwm since my android on metro. Never an issue, always smooth. Now everyone switching to amon ra. Why? And why are some devs making it so you need amon ra to install their roms? Give me some insight people..................
28 VIEWS IN 10 MINUTES?
I KNOW SOMEONE HAS AN ANSWER..........
Ok, yes, Amon is more reliable on everything. Why? Idk, but it is.
Yes, some Devs ROMs have to have Amon to install correctly. Why? Idk, dont care. If the Devs say it is better, install it and enjoy.

The answer is up at the top where it says Search This Forum. This question has been asked and answered a million times on here.
CWM is great; on other phones. On the EVO, not so good. Doesn't wipe properly, is know to have problems restoring back-ups. Those are just the surface issues.
Plain and simple. If you have an evo, you use amon. Its like rule #1 haha. All of the CWM recovery versions I have used either A.didn't wipe correctly or B. Couldn't flash what I needed because it only supports edify scripting in zips and doesn't support amend (older but still kinda popular)

I'm using that and it works perfectly for me.
NAND backups with no problems
NAND restore with no problems
WIPE for new flash with no problems
I would recommend it over RA 2.3 for the simple fact that you can use the BACK button to actually go back a step

I also recommend Amon ra 3.11 it just works on the EVO perfectly been using it since 1st day I rooted (2yrs) and it just works amazingly

Hey Philly, I just want to thank you for your wipe zip, it is the only wipe that I use before any ROM change. It ROCKS!!!!
Have a note 2 and didnt realize you couldnt move apps to sd until after buying the phone. So now I need to get around that restriction.
My device is rooted and on stock rom.
Can someone please point me to instructions for setting up apps 2 sd, or doing the internal v external sd swap?
Thanks in advance for the help
Foldermount can help you...
I think that's an Android jb issue rather than a fault of the phone.
I use the memory swap now, I used to use directory bind, and it works perfectly

It's a ROM related issue (JB). I'm using Clean Master(App), which allowes to move at least some apps to external SD.
im using a custom rom with the memory swap baked in. But im pretty sure this is the mod/guide that im using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036796
it is really good and fools the phone into using your sd card as your internal memory so no need to swap on a per app basis.

Thanks for pointing me to this. Can you verify for me as I cant seem to find it. Can this be used on my stock rom rooted? Or will I need to flash a new rom? Id really like to keep it stock as much as possible. Dont mind if the trash has been removed though.
I know the thread says you need a rom and kernel that supports initD, but I dont know if this does?
Also, the initial thread indicates it needs to be a international version, mine is a US from verizon. Will this still work?
Lastly, im assuming I will need to whipe my phone and start fresh?
Again thanks for all the help with this!
I'm not a hundred percent sure to be honest. But I would expect it to work on a stock rooted phone.
You would need to do a complete wipe and I think it says in the op that you're better off using the mod as soon as you do a fresh install
However, seeing as you are with Verizon I would really advise you to Flash the rom I use, Which is the Jedi rom.
It comes with some trash removed, some nice eye candy, the swap already cooked in and the new kernel is giving standby battery performance of 1% an hour.
But if you do then I suggest you wait for version 18 which is due any day.
Good luck
