I think the all the flaming is being directed at the moron who posted a thread in the dev section telling the developers that they should stop updating roms and find root for froyo cuz "half of the people here" are stuck. Gimme a break. Sorry, kind of off topic but I'm still venting.

NO.​
Seriously, please search or look at the pinned threads next time, never mind that this is in the wrong section.

Seems to me some people need to get out and get themselves some instead of being upset over dopey questions.
If you find yourselfgetting p.o.ed and losing sleep over questions being asked about a phone? You're not right in da head. lol

Why would you need to vent or flame to a person who really will have no impact on telling devs what to do?

BTW... I love it when people post this question fresh for the first time. Half the time I think they are doing it to get a rise out of the people with no penises.

Maybe someone found root, they just want to see how people piss and wine about what we can't have yet, relaxe people! it's coming.

technically you're in the wrong section, but since i have a soft-spot for noobies, i'll help.
you need to look in the development section and(if you are already rooted) install one of the many 2.2 froyo roms. this is your best bet. good luck!

I wasn't worried it would affect the developers. But myself and the other mob of people felt the need to respond to a post that disrespectful to the developers. He made it sound like they're here to do what we ask. They do this for free and don't deserve pushy demanding crap like that. I overlook a lot of stupid posts but I couldn't let that one go.

I've got a question. I know there is still no way to root 2.2 so please don't freak out. My question is does anyone know if any developer has made any ground at all or does it just not seem possible?

There is no official Froyo for our Epics, however there are several roms running the Froyo leak a.k.a. DK28.
First of all. Are you rooted?
PLEASE NOTE Post this type of questions in General section of the forums. This section is for development purposes only.
BTW. You will get more answers in that section, General

You don't have to donate if you don't want. Just read read read read read and read. Then read some more. Play around a bit and don't be afraid to ask questions– just be sure to ask in General, or preferably the Q&A forum. If you get stuck, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to help, just make sure to try and help yourself first. Oh, and be sure to read.
Yes I am rooted, using Terminal Emulator Pro and Superuser

You should be glad someone hear tried to help you out. As far as I'm concerned people like you should be banned for a day every time they post in the wrong section or ask a question that has obviously already been answered in another thread! Do yourself a favor and read the rules and use the search button! Yes I know you have been told this but it seems like you need it drilled in your head.

Donate your time. Start in the sticky, move on to the search. There is a library in front of you if you only look.

so then lets make him feel like **** and he may never get on another forum , wow dude cmon.
for all we know this mighrt be his first time being on a forum , i dont know . i just see giving him a hard time the wrong way to do it. you could have said hey it may help if you search . instead of name calling belittling.
just my 2 cents
people dont understand a basic thing.. the info on the forums most of the times is outdated and no one will know for sure until they try it out ... and for a noob .. its really scary to go ahead and give a try without knowing for sure if its perfectly accurate wht s/he is doing.. for eg i came accross a forum to root android device by downgrading to 2.0 which i highly doubt if would even work now.

[Q] Differences between Fresh Evo and Sprint Lover's?

I've used both ROMs and they're awesome, stable, and fast. Beyond a few differences, though, nothing really different sticks out to me except that Fresh doesn't use the Sense launcher.
You are not going to get flamed because you are not asking which one is better, you are going to get flamed for posting this in development, and it is your first post? You indeed are asking a question so this belongs in the forum called Q&A, it has nothing to do with development. Mods, please move.
Sprint Lovers
For the most part both are quick and work fairly seamlessly. I prefer Sprint Lovers personally but that's me. I think as a whole it works smoother, but that's an aesthetic thing. Both give you what you want out of a custom rom, wifi tethering and all that. Fresh has issues with clockworkmod recovery though, need AmonRA in order to use properly. Personally this irritates me but I don't really see it as a problem. The one nice thing I found in Fresh that came with it automatically was the file manager it provides however all you need is ASTRO with Sprint Lovers and you're good to go. Fresh is more customizable for the average user I suppose but if you are comfortable with adb and SDK then you should be able to customize on your own anyway (look into themeing and how it's done properly before you attempt to do anything and by all means don't mess with .9 files unless you have an understanding of how they work) Other than these issues I didn't find any major differences but have my preference as you can tell. Try some others out too though, some people like Cyanogen's stuff. Good luck.

[Q] Can we install Sprint official Gingerbread update on a rooted phone?

I just rooted my Evo 4G but never installed any custom ROM yet, as I was waiting for the official Sprint update for the Gingerbread.
They just posted that the Gingerbread is coming to Sprint Evo 4G.
My question is, will I be able to install this official Gingerbread from Sprint even though I have rooted my phone?
You can install it, but you'll lose root. Wait for one of the devs here to post a rooted version first.
Hey man, just for future reference, this should be in the Q and A section. Your about to get a royal flaming session.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695878
If you install it you will lose root.....just wait cause aol of our awesome developers will have a rooted version out before you know it....most of them are just waiting on the offical release to put the final touches on the roms before putting them out

Can we please post this in Q&A thread . Someone move this .
the simple answer to the original question is..
yes.

Does it really matter where he posts his threads? The point of XDA is to help and inform others about their phones. I understand this isn't the Q&A but give me a break. Just look over it and move on.

[Q] Revert to old Firmware

I can't root my EVO 4G phone because the firmware is too new! any idea??
Yeah, do a search. Kthanks. Nobody can root 2.3.3 yet, and it is not possible to downgrade, just be patient
Wow a question in the development section....who wouldve thunk it....
When a FIRST POST goes RIGHT INTO the wrong thread. lol. wow! worst of all, the guy didn't even READ ONE PINNED THREAD. however, asking him/her to search is stupid guys. your search feature DOES NOT WORK. Needs redesigned! I tried to use it today. it's too hard. lol. there is NO easy way to direct it to evo's only.

You literally skipped right over this, it's on the first page of the forum. You wanna root your Evo? Donate to some of these people hard at work finding a solution. And before you ask about the youtube videos saying there's a method, it's a method that only works if you've previously rooted your phone and then unrooted for whatever reason.
*sigh* Read the damn thread that says READ FIRST so you don't get such hateful responses in the future

Yes there is, I search the EVO dev and theme section quite often if I have a question, simply enter the section. And click on the search tab at the top, hell you can search a specific thread by going into it and using the same search tab. Anybody with a quarter of a clue and a couple minutes of forum time in their life can figure that out.

That is what Q&A section is for. Then after getting the question answered the user gains knowledge they can pass on. The 10 posts are easily reached that way.

I'm in the same boat. I use and test a bunch of different roms, but can never report my bugs or ask ROM specific questions in the dev threads. Usually I can find my answer by searching, but that's not always the case. I guess I'm more of a watcher than an active participant at this point.

Just post a legitimate question in Q&A and respond with thank you's and what is the best way to do that's and you will hit 10 posts in less than a day. And then you are good to go. People using the ROMs that have answers read Q&A too.

Like all things new people have to suffer for past people abusing or screwing something up. It is a protection from Spammers and people just popping on, saying something stupid and they're gone. It is only for the development section where posts should be more professional and intelligent. 10 posts are nothing. But it is a small safety. Perhaps if the OP was worded more professionally the flaming would not have started.

If you've been reading the threads (which I'm sure you have), you'll find the Epic community is the most helpful, most welcoming one around. Trust me, I work on the Evo 4G as well and the Epic boards are much more tight-knit.
Having said that- did you get the answer to the MIUI issue? Sounds like it was just a bad download...
