I just rooted my phone, but I lack the knowledge of what type of ROM should I install on my EVO.
I'm a simple user, use some games, not complicated ones, use Facebook, like to use as a router, use PDA net, started to use open home, just for the look of it.
msn also used, a lot of text messaging, some you tube videos.
But I personally DISLIKE unwanted stuff like the sprint add ons, and would really want to eliminate those things.
I like to custom my phone with nice skins and usable tweaks.
could anyone give their opinion on which ROM would you recommend?
cyanogen, but first you should have read forum rules, as i think this was an appropriate question that could have been asked in the Q&A section
P.S- prepare for flamers lol
true my bad, its the part where I have this forum page as a fav and I did not change the forum and just posted this here, since I'm working on the phone right now, but a mod member could relocate the post if he wishes, and flamers dont bother me.
thanks for the info.
OMFG! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY POSTING THIS HERE!? FLAME ON! GAWD WHY DON'T PEOPLE READ!?!?!?!!?
But seriously...CM6 is probably correct. No sense, no Sprint Bloat, etc. In the themes/apps section there are quite a few themes out for it. I'd probably start there.
Jajajaja
me jodi yo ahora...
true about the post in the wrong place....
and thanks looking foward to it, but trying to download unrevoked for evo and problem with web page wich sucks...

but doesn't CM6 lack 4G support?
Still not rooted the phone, im in 2.1 update 1
and I need the unrevoked file, could anyone upload it, since the webpage shows some type of error?
Regarding the 4G theres no 4G here in Puerto Rico yet... wich sucks...
I dont use the HDMI and I really dont need the Radio.
so Ill try this rom as soon as I finish rooting.
Thanks for the info provided.

Yep. It does. There are 'non sense' versions of 'sense' based ROMs that DO have 4g, but for most people (I live close to Philly, so I'm one of the lucky ones) 4g doesn't really exist yet.

I was just teasing you.
Yup cm6 is best. I get superior battery life with cm 6 snap combined.

The winning combo for me is Fresh 3.2.0.0 + KingxKernel bfs6 + manup revolution.
I tried CM6 for a couple days and I loathed it.

Wow you have just confused me more.
I have read something about Fresh, im ok up to there, but the rest I have no Idea,
what u do a mix of 3 roms or I have no Idea on how to even explain...
Fresh is the rom. Kings kernel is exactly that a kernel. And man up is a theme. Stick with fresh, ava, or ojm until you learn a little more. They are solid roms that stick close to stock.

thanks for the explanation there.
Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you.
I really like Fresh. I have tried quite a few ROMs and Fresh is my favorite. Evio and BakedSnack are also good ones.

Hey man! Welcome to Evo world and congratulations.
It looks like you know what rooting is so I won't go into that. Everyone gets something different out of rooting their Evos--some get headaches. I got a faster phone, better battery life and the option to try a bunch of ROMs and learning a little about kernel mods--all good stuff. Some ROMs stick with Sense UI, some leave it completely and use AOSP, that will depend on your taste.
This page gives a great rundown of almost everything you need to root, ROM an kernel mod your new Evo. Definately go through the stickies though, that's really good advice and when you try a ROM, make sure you read the OP's ROM anouncement carefully.
Remember that you when you root your phone, you're on your own--seriously. No tech support, no calling the carrier so make sure that this is really what you want to do.
I'm using Calkulin's EViO ROM and the camera works perfectly. You'll have to read the ROM's threads to find out what the ROM's shortcomings and benefits are. I used CyanogenMod 6 and the camera's not so good in that one but they know that.

Stickies are specific posts that the community voted to be "stuck" at the top of a forum because so many forum members found the info inside that particular thread very helpful. Stickies will not move out of sight, even when noone replies to them for long time b/c they are "Stuck" at the top by an Admin./Mod..

Your camera should not be affected by rooting. But you know what you might want to try before you dive into rooting? Go on the market and install some home launcher replacements like ADW or Launcher Pro, these two are the most popular but there are others. ADW has some some themes on the market, some are a buck and others free. Try these first and see if you like the way they change the look of your phone. There's tons of stuff you can do to change the look of the phone without rooting. Mess with those while you're reading about rooting.
There are ROMs that keep the factory look intact. You're going to have to explore those on your own and see which one retained the stock look because I wanted to remove Sense and yeah, it takes a ROM to do that. Myn's Warm twopointtwo I think is an improvement on Sense.

No offense dude, but do you do ANY research at all before asking these questions? Every single question you have asked has already been answered to death in these Forums. Do research, read the Stickies, use the Search feature. If you can't find the answers to your question, THEN ask.

So apparently you feel that there is no need for YOU to do any research before asking a question that has been asked (and answered) 1000 times before in this forum? Your recommendation to anyone who suggests you do research is to go jerk off?
P.S. You'll notice no one is taking the time to explain anything to you, right?

Thanks a lot for your time and your effort!
Awesome, feefeeboomboom/isaac. The flipside stinks on 2.1. There is no storage space. I really really want 2.2 or 2.3 to be able to store my apps on the SD card.
I hope it you are making progress and that you stay with your GF and that she lets you play with her phone.
Any Updates?
I'm willing to help
Never deved on an android phone before, but I'm a linux admin, and I love doing custom hacks on these things. If I can be of help, let me know. Trying to see how to get the ball rolling on setting up a CM6 version for this phone right now. I'm pretty sure with the limited hardware that this phone has, CM7 would be a huge overkill -- if it would run at all.

Well a cm7 ROM was just realeased for the Motorola Backflip...you really think it would be too much on the Flipside?

Well, you caught me. I actually think it would run fine, but it is much easier to use the same kernel and just mod everything else. You can run 2.2 on 2.1 kernels, but you can't run 2.3 on 2.1 or 2.2. So, with that said, it's much easier for me to just take a current image, strip out the bloat, and give everyone a new version based on 2.2 that works out of the box than finding all the missing kernel modules for 2.3 and building it from there.
In short, I'm lazy, and I want to have a newer release out faster.
haha oh ok no sweat! Sorry wasn't tryin to call you out...just curious. Anything that can be done would be great! Hope you get something going soon!
I was thinking of maybe getting the flipside on te insurance program (from a backflip) but it seems like you guys are worse off than us. i cant seem o find source code on moto's site... do you guys know where it might be?
Any progress on a CM7 port? I just got my GF a flipside since she can't deal with on screen keyboards....and she previously had a backflip with CM7 lol
so I've been visiting recently on this and the cyanogen mod forums and it doesn't look like anyone has hit gold yet, or have I missed something somewhere and all the cool kids are having fun with their flipsides and I'm out in the lurch?
My wife too got this phone because of the keyboard...If no development comes soon...I think I might just try and sell it to whatever sucker wants to buy it and then head on over to Canada (eh?) and purchase a G2...
maybe soon...
Motorola is beta testing froyo right now. We may soon have a valid froyo image for the awesome development teams to work with.
i just set my phone back to factory and updated it cuz i was goin to get the 3d today but my wife wants to use the upgrade cuz she hates her phone (epic) so now i want to root my phone back to the kingdom port is there a way to do this
No way to root the update unless you're still s-off. Why don't you get the 3d & give her your phone, then sell the Epic?

Yes there is!! Click your heels together three times and say to yourself...'theres nothing like a rooted evo...theres nothing like a rooted evo..theres nothing like a rooted evo...'.
Or, do a search...or even just glance at the Evo Q&A page for 12 seconds and you will see that this has been asked and answered endless times already.

There is nothing from the Dev's for the Supersonic. So, maybe that's why we keep asking!
Internet Police, Search! LMFAO! Get a life.
been monitoring the irc channels for 2 days now, read yesterday that teamwin is working on it, and hboot got pwnd , they are working on a stable release...how true this is i cannot say , but this is the chatter ive seen on the channel, lets hope its coming soon , have patience all , these guys rock but they have lives also and they do this for free, so be mindful of this too

Well said... Hey people if you are still asking these questions then you have no clue how the Evo fourms work or for that matter xda. I have seen some other forums and this place gives you clear and well informed information. Great stickys and too me clear cut headers to let you know what roms have, last updates 4g no 4g as well as a host of other info. Also great OP info that outlines what to do, if any bugs, etc...
If you just come here and type a question especially one that is clearly all over these forums my suggestion to you is since you are waiting for your phone to achieve a root method why don't you just start to read up and learn about rooting flashing roms and kernels. You do this so hopefully you can help the community instead of filling the pages with repetitive questions and rants about why others who do this for free can't fulfill your needs fast enough.
Just My Thoughts....

That is actually not true, no one heard anything from them until they found a promising root method for the Evo 3D.
And it is the same for the Evo, mainly because their is no point in telling everyone something like, "tried that.....that didn't work, tried this......this didn't work either". So I seriously doubt you will hear anything from anyone until someone finds an exploit that works.

Also keep in mind that these are security exploits. They can't keep them hidden forever, as HTC can basically find out what it is once it's released. But there's no point in publicizing "Hey, we found a huge hole at line 2337 of Rosie.c!!!" and make it easy for HTC to get a head start on patching it.
iv'e searched there's no section.
just wondering if anyone know's if there will be root or support for this?

oooh, my bad then.
Yea, seeing as my wife and myself have the evo design, and its not a bad phone.. it needs some love, and customization options.
Lets get a forum going for it, and get it some ice cream sandwich ! lol
I also was looking for some support for this phone as I am thinking about getting this on another line. Like most people here I don't like to keep anything stock for to long after I get it home. Well I will just wait and see what happens here.
