[REQUEST] PSFreedom EVO 4G

PSFreedom enables homebrew on PS3, called jailbreak.
I would like to see a port of PSFreedom to EVO, DocMon/Kakaroto managed to get the PSFreedom working on the Desire/Nexus One, both use the same usb of the EVO, but I don't have the knowledge to get it working on the Evo.
Here's more info

Excellent I was just about to ask this same question. Since its seems to already have been done over on the Nexus One/Desire forums.

Has anyone tried to just use the methods described in the Desire and Nexus One forums on our EVOs?

I tried, evo freeze on htc white boot screen. BTW running CM6.

Damn. I was going to give it a try but I guess I will wait. They were saying that ROM needs to be Sense Free in order to work. I have Fresh right now. Maybe I will flash a NonSense ROM and try.

How did you run the boot.img? Do you need to have an unlocked bootloader for this as in S-OFF or is using the eng hboot the same thing.

I run it using the fastboot method first, then flashing the signed zip, no luck with any of them. If you use the fastboot method you don't loose anything but if you flash it, you have to flash the rom again.

Also hoping for this. Seems that it may only work with CM6 since vanilla Android is needed.

I haven't followed the entire thread but I would assume the kernel changes could be implemented in a.Sense kernel. When I get time ill try to do it.

Ok thanks a lot. I mainly use CM6, so a vanilla requirement wouldn't be a problem. I just saw it mentioned in the other thread that it wasn't possible with the Desire Sense.

Anyone try cm6 with the n1 ko file yet

i wish i knew how to do this stuff.. id love to help out.
i dont think using a kernel compiled for another phone is going to work for us.. something made just for the evo is needed.

Yes, it needs to be compiled against an Evo kernel. DrMon has been working with another guy on IRC on it but they have run into problems with it. They need someone experienced with Evo kernels to help out.

That's great news, let's see if any of the kernel guru here can help him.

Do you have the irc address so I can lurk a bit?

They claim to be working on an app for all phones, with choice between psfreedom and psgroove, with a beta release to testers end of this week.
Ios as well, seems too good to be true though.

[Q] Evo Simple User

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

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...

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.

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.

Developers needed to port sense to the Epic!! Please Help

I am organizing a team of developers to port sense to the Samsung Epic. Does anyone want to help???
Please Reply to this thread if you are interested. Once we get enough developers, we will discuss what ROM we should use as a base and start working on it.

Shouldn't this be posted in the Epic forums? Also, not to come off as an asshole, but if you wanted Sense, you should have bought an Evo.

Thanks, a bunch, I am looking for 3-5 more people to carry out the load evenly.
We will then decide what ROM should we use as a base and start the work!!!!

Well, I have also posted this in the Epic forums, just am looking for developers who know how to deal with sense as well, so I posted this on the Evo forums.

Just a thought to port the EVO shift may be good due to slide out keyboard they both have. Will be a tough port due to such different screens. I'm not too good with this but willing to try with kitchen. My wife has a epic maybe she will let me test some.
I know she wants sense on it.

Evo Shift Rom is good, but I was thinking more Desire Z, but its not final yet, it depends on what the team decides. We will discuss everything once we get enough members. If you are willing to volunteer, please reply to the thread.
Thanks

Desire Z is a GSM phone, therefore it will have some issues like no 4G. Myn just realized Warm Z TwoPointTwo which has some issues like no 4G and no EPST. I would suggest going with the Evo Shift if you're going to port a ROM.

Ok, I will keep that in mind. Are you also helping out with the ROM or just wanted to add a suggestion?
Thanks

but.. sounds like a huge mountain to climb over...

Am I the only one that finds it a little ironic that Epic devs are trying to get Sense while EVO devs spend their time getting rid of it?

The screen is the least of their concerns when porting something like this. The framework that HTC uses is completely different than Samsung. Samsung uses a different type of filesystem that might have issues with Sense, blah blah blah...
There are a million things working against porting a ROM like this. There was a Sense port for the Droid 1 at one point but it was a tremendous PITA.

[Q] So my evo is rooted, what's next?

so i was successful in rooting my evo with unrevoked and was wondering what I should do next. I know I should make a backup. That is done via recovery correct? It is called a nandroid correct (my old phone used .tar files to make backups in recovery) I was also hoping to gain some insight as to what things such as roms, radios/kernels(?) and mods some people use and how to go about flashing those things in recovery. Sorry to be so noobish (we all were once), I am just seeking knowledge. Any and all help is greatly appreciated

I would look here:

welcome to the community!
ROMs are the Read Only Memory, or the system, of the phone. with root, you can change it. devs here have made some insane roms. may i reccomend synergy? sense 2.1/3.0 gingerbread combo. just make sure to wipe data and partition sdcard first.
kernels are the bond between hardware and software. there are currently none for sense gingerbread roms becasue htc hasn't released the source yet. froyo and aosp are wide open tho.
radios are, well, the software for the radios.
the link fergie gave you should tell you a lot.
feel free to contact me or anyone else here if you have any more questions.
damn odd future is good.

Thanks for not flaming the noob guys. I will read these and keep you in mind if I should require any help. I think I'm getting the hang of things... Thanks again!

Word of advice, I'm on the latest PRI, but if you have bad battery life, PRI&NV 1.77 [need to be consistent] work wonders for people.

as you can probably tell from our 3 different reccomendations, everybody likes different thinks. just try them all until you find one you like.

I am trying to get over my noobness too but I have had good luck with Calkulin's EviO 2 Series. I have tried a lot of roms but I always come back to Calks roms.

Thanks for all of the recommendations! I'll be doing more reading on these roms tonight. I need root access so should I stay away from everything that says gingerbread since we don't officially have gingerbread. Everything I've read says no root for gingerbread, am I understanding correctly. Thanks for the support, I'm sure its helping more than just me.

lol close but not quite. if you are not yet rooted, but have gignerbread on your phone, you can't be rooted. if you are already rooted, flash any gingerbread rom you like!

You can pretty much flash whatever you want. I would go through a few different ROM's to see which you like the most. Some people love the plain and fast speeds of Cyanogen, others love HTC Sense. It's all preference.
Be sure everything you flash is compatible with the other though. Kernels especially. You'll find yourself really lost if you try to flash the wrong kernel and send your phone into boot loops for 30 minutes.

Okay, so if I have root I won't lose root if I flash one of the gingerbread roms. Got it. I think I want speed and responsiveness (this phone stock is blazing fast compared to my intercept). This is the first phone I've had with sense and I really like it. I think I'll look for a rom with sense. I do have access to 4g and don't want to lose that capability so I need to stick with sense 1.0 to avoid any problems right. You folks have been most helpful and I appreciate all of the input that had been given. Definitely learning a lot. Sorry for all the questions, I promise I'll stop soon.

Synergy doesn't fit blazing fast, but it is more advanced/more features sense 2.1/3.0 gingerbread combo. Great rom. Seriously. 4g too because it's based off evo shift.
Cm7 (cyanogen mod 7) is crazy fast, no sense, very customizable, 4g. used to be my best rom before synergy. Literally gets better every day with the nightly releases.
You don't need to stick with sense 1 for 4g, but any sense 1 rom definitely has it.
And again, no problem. I have answers as long as you have questions/thanks in a day (bad joke)

Is synergy slower our faster then stock? And would using an overclocked kernel make a difference in the speed?
CM7... 2.2 with the stock launcher from android right (looks wise) if I understand correctly.
Is there a notable difference in the phone's performance between the two? Thx
Sent from my Rooted Evo 4g.

Overclocking makes a noticeable difference in the speed of your phone, but it also kills the battery faster. Also if you like CM7 I recommend trying out Deck. Same basic setup just a little better battery life. I can get around 35 hours out of mine with casual usage on a stock battery.

Best rom/ kernel setup

Upgrading my girlfriends evo tonight with latest and greatest. She was currently running cm7. I want a latest updated ROM, however the video recorder and MMS need to work. I see the the ffc and 4g is common not working which is OK.
Can someone also please suggest a kernel to match up with this. I prefer aosp but willing to try a modified sense 3.0+ ROM.
Thanks for the help! I have a toro nexus and do not view the evo fourm much!

Hmmm, so instead of using your time to give me a suggestion, u have to troll the thread instead. Thunbs up to u buddy.
Let me clarify. I know where to find the ROMs, kernels, themes etc. I know there are many choices when it comes to roms (aosp, sense, miui etc). I am not looking for some to hold my hand and explain to me the differences, because truth is that I probably have tried many if not all of them on my nexus. However the situation I am in is that my girl friends evos is outdated running a stable version of cm7 and timemat kernel and is starting to act up. I was thinking of just reflashing cm7 with a fresh start, however gingerbread is very outdated.
So because this is not my phone, I do not have the time to test ROM/kernel combos like I do on my nexus. That is why I am simply asking for suggestions from my fellow xda members.
I am looking for a aosp jelly bean ROM (if not ICS). I need this ROM to be stable (FFC and 4g borked not a big deal) but must have MMS and video recording. From what I can tell, these are the most common issues.
So please give me some suggestions of something I can flash on her phone without biting off my head. I would greatly appreciate it.
I was also curious about theatest and greatest kernel since timat is way outdated, however I will save that for a further question because trollers get mad.

Posts like this are against the "rules" because it could cause issues between devs or members trying to say who is better or what not.
Your best bet is to use search or go read op's of the 10 or so ICS roms.
