From captivate to evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q]Help from people who know things ;) ROM question

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.
Cm7 i believe is very stable rom and many people enjoy it. Not me but people really enjoy cyanogens work.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao
CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.
I'm Running Nightly 93 and May gapps.

I'm glad to hear its stable. If he is willing to give up sense and cm is stable then I might encourage him that way.
How is the battery life and do you have access to 4g speeds?
Also I have seen the new sense on the sensation... Man if its bloat its the sexiest bloat I have ever seen.

New from OG Epic, advice needed.

Hello,
I dropped and broke my epic today. The sprint dude said I could pay 100 for insurance to replace it, or use my premier early discount $200 since premier ends this month.
Anyway, I ran SRF 1.2 and ACS ICS 5.5.
What do you guys recommend for roms on this phone? I forgot how to attain root and recovery.
Just fyi I will be using the go series (launcher, sms, contacts, dialer).
One last thing, what is the best way to transfer everything to my new phone?

I get it that its q & a but your questions are all in the wiki and to me we all need to do a like better jib of reading up on things which saves on the off the wall threads but OK I will spoon feed ya... try UnNamed its a nice rom and of course Calks is always a great choice. There is a CM rom in development as well. Now if you like odex or barebone roms the forum has a couple with nice ICS themes. Now to root there are a few methods but most say us sfhubs method which is pretty easy.
I hope I helped you although everything I said can be found with a little research... Enjoy and welcome lol

I will be honest. I read the first couple of pages from a bunch of the roms. They all seem to have the same features. It is hard to differentiate just from reading. Hence, I ask for empirical opinions. Thanks for yours.

Honestly they are all about the same that's why I tell people to try them all I did till you find the one that fits your needs. It may not sound cool but think about it your in a forum where of course everyone is going to have a different opinion. One of the most asked questions is what's the best blah blah blah........ The best for me may not be the best for you... try a rom nandroid TB and move on to the next one.....

I went ahead and rooted using this method:

I then went about getting Clockwork Mod Recovery by way of Rom Manager. Easiest thing to do. I will be installing Calkulin's rom first.
I'm still tripping about adding all of my data from my first Epic. I don't get it since we are talking about two different SD cards. =/
EDIT:
I had to use this to install clockwork mod instead:

Total noob new

Hey, all, just wanted to say that I'm new to Android and have probably been on here during the Samsung Blackjack days.
Any who, I need to be pointed on the right direction. What is the best ROM to use right now (stable)? I really hate the T-Mobile bloatware and have already rooted my phone, using the required steps given by this site.

Juggernut
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Saying which ROM is best is very subjective. I would recommend trying dewizzed, macnut, and juggernaut. Those in my opinion and in same order are the most stable. Try each one for a days and see which one out ultimately feel suits you best. Everybody likes something different so start flashing and testing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
I use spotify with my phone, does it need a specific ROM or it just needs to be based off of Gingerbread or whatever?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
If you like the feel of the stock ROM, but want extra features and tweaks, go for Juggernaut. It is extremely fast, stable, and well developed overall.
And spotify should work.

havent used jugs in awhile but i believe you have lockscreen options under rom manager..and on the market there are tons lock screen replacements. go locker, magic locker, those are 2 good ones out of many. once you have either those simply find what theme you like.

I use to post and utilize this forum when I had a Vibrant. I love my SII. In fact, I love it so much that, although I bought it the day it came out, I have waited until now to finally root it.
I'm so out of the loop. Are the ICS roms ready to go as daily drivers or should I wait until T-Mo drops theirs? If it's all G2G, then what are your opinions on what's best?
If you feel that Ginger is better as a daily, which is good to jump into?
Keep in mind that I am not looking for super powers and problems. I just want a good daily driver. I like being able to back **** up and use some of the features available to rooted devices, drop bloat, and theme a bit.
I'll run a log of my experiences and try to find issues, if necessary, so that this thread can appropriately stay in this section. If that still is considered a rule breaker, then I politely ask the MODs to move it to the best section.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if you read the end of my post but if you had, it makes your reply pointless, with all due respect. Thanks though.

Whether you run a log of issues or not, the topic has no bearing on development.
I can tell you from experience that the ICS Perfection is a pretty stable build. I have been running it for a week without much of a hicup. Obviously the gingerbread ROMs are more stable then the ICS ones. I used the CM7 build as a daily driver before ICS and lived it. Since I went to ICS, Eugene has started work on fixing some of the bugs on his version of CM7. Best thing to do is test them out and see what one is your style.

It took me a while, but I finally rooted my phone to get rid of the bloatware and to be able to install an ad blocker, now I'm wondering what good OS's there are out there so far? In the past with my Epic 4G, I spent a lot of time trying different OS's and ended up quite frustrated, though mostly because I never really found one I was that happy with and ended up in a situation where I changed OS's so much that I didn't even bother to customize my phone anymore because it would just be a couple of days before I had to start over again. This time around I figured I'd ask the peanut gallery first to get some informed opinions rather than just installing random OS after random OS. I'm looking for something lean, efficient, and stable. Also, and I'm not sure if this is an issue with the S3 like it was with the Epic 4G, but if there are things like CIQ that need to be removed, I would want those features as well.
Thanks.

Is there a second for freeza's rom?
I would suggest CyanogenMod

I actually meant is there a second vote for the rom, but this does bring up another point and that is that I'd prefer something without much theming. I like Jellybean, but I want something that has had all of the bloat stripped away and all of the beneficial tweaks for performance and battery life already in place.

Freeza's thread for his rom have screenshots you can check out. There are a couple of good roms out with a lot of theming including icons, so freeza's rom is great for first time flashers for the gs3.

Got my sgs3 yesterday. Stock ROM for exactly 0 minutes. The first ROM I've installed is Freeza's. I ran some of his on my evo3d.
Outstanding so far. Just wish battery had % in it

Go with liquid smooth!!! It's 4.2.1 and very stable even though it's still beta. I am running it as my everyday rom, no problems. Considerably less buggy than the cm10.1 nightlies. (my favorite part is that it has group mms)

So how do I install this thing, just flash from recovery? Freeza didn't give any instructions...
