I have an evo 4g, and I am tired of the stock theme. I wanted to know if the bliss theme found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852021 was compatible with the EVO 4g?
If it is would someone be able to walk me through the installation. I am confused as hell!
you can send me a private message, respond here, or email me? Hell you can even call me. I really really want this theme

think your link to thread is wrong...double check it

I may be wrong but, I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted and running a deodexd rom to flash a theme.

You will need to be rooted and also you will need to flash cm7 for that theme to work.

Here is the linked to the Unrevoked Forever wiki:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Look at this section in particular:
Since you have already installed the OTA update, start at step 4.
Reinstalling an official recovery
If you wish to install a stock over-the-air update in the future (OTA), the safest way to do so is to install the recovery that originally shipped with your phone. To install an OTA:
Install unrevoked forever on your phone.
Download or create an appropriate PB31IMG.ZIP, PC36IMG.ZIP or HERCIMG.zip for your phone that contains the original recovery image.
We do not supply these images; since the recovery code is owned by HTC, we don't distribute it. You may be able to find these images on the XDA-Developers forums.
From the phone operating system, install the over-the-air update.
When the update is done installing, you will probably want to root it with a custom recovery. Download one of the following recovery restore images:
Amon-Ra recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for Incredible
Amon-Ra recovery for CDMA Hero
Place the appropriate file – with that exact file name! – on the root of your SD card.
Reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, inserting the battery, and pressing POWER.
When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.
Your phone now has a custom recovery. To restore superuser access to your phone, you can apply any appropriate update.zip; such a file can likely be found here: Superuser App

No you need to respect the questions that some ask in forums. We may not all be brainiacs in here but some respect will be appreciated. And as far as a sense of humor I did not see anything funny in Wat you wrote...

Since you're still S off, just download a PC36IMG.zip of amon ra recovery. Place it on your SD card, boot to the bootloader, and it will ask u to update. Say yes. That will flash a recovery for you. After that, you can boot to recovery and flash a rom. Then you'll be back in action.
Edit: I attatched a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra 2.3 recovery. Place the file on the main directory of your sd card. When you boot to the bootloader, it'll scan and find the PC36IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Hit volume up. When it asks you to reboot when it finishes, say no. Then from the bootloader menu, select 'recovery'. You'll now be in recovery. At this point, you'll just need to use recovery to flash a rooted rom of your choice. So be sure to have a ROM on your sd card, then go ahead and flash it as you normally would. Hope that helps a bit.

ok maybe I can help...i believe I saw or read somewhere that if you accepted the 2.3.3 OTA you can RUU back to 2.2 with a bootloader you can root with...at least that's what I think I heard...but if you have one of the new batches of EVOs I believe you'll have to wait til they find an exploit.
And next time just try to be a little more specific with what you are trying to accomplish and if you don't already, try searching for your answer before posting so we don't end up with a million of the same thing (like we do already)
But try doing a little more digging into what I said cus I don't want what I say to be the reason you get a pricked phone.
Hope this helped.
Edit: oops, sorry didn't see that you still have s-off...just listen to k2buckley haha

Wow...no offense but I am no brainiac but I know how to ask a question. And let me quote the Rules of XDA Forums:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.

You gain full s-off. With s-on unlocked you can't write to the radio partition and others. So if a rom comes with a custom kernel you will have to flash the boot.img from fastboot then the rom I think

[Q] New to the Inc2

Hey everyone, just got a Inc2 as a replacement for a Droid X2, could someone point me in the right direction to get me started? I would like to eventually be on an ICS build if there is a semi-stable version out there. Thanks alot!

Welcome to the Dinc 2! Well first of all if you want to root and all that jazz you should follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726134 if you're on the new 6.01.605.05 software. As far as ICS roms go, I would personally recommend Nitsuj's UKB V rom, it's ICS with sense 4a and it is probably one o the most popular if not the most popular rom for the Dinc 2 right now. If you want AOSP ICS I recommend Aeroevan's CM9, it is fairly stable. Another recent rom that I recommend is Paranoid Android, the tweaks for it are amazing and almost everything is working fairly well! I hope you enjoy your Dinc 2!

After you gain S-OFF you can flash CWM and then flash the superuser zip to gain root. It should all be together in the s-off thread. You can also use 4 ext recovery, it's a touch recovery and it's been working great for me. Oh, and before you install a rom make sure YOU MAKE A NANDROID. If something goes wrong you can go back to a working phone. Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions or just post them here. Good luck and enjoy!

Actually, you are supposed to create that folder as a space to work from on your pc. That's where you unzip all the scripts to that you call from cmd.
