if you want sense, just wait. its around the corner im sure.
cm7 is gb if youre down to switch to AOSP. its fast as hell
LOL....."the now network" more like the late network. I asked the question to a representative he said some time this year. That's the best answer I could get out of him.

The official release date is Q2 of this year (Q2 is quarter two and ranges from april to july.
Couldn't find the link for it, but I know I read it on either Phandroid or Engadget.
Just so everyone knows I've never rooted my phone so I don't know all the jibberish means. Just saying.

This is stuff you can do without a rooted phone. In fact, it's the de facto way of doing it period, rooted or not. Lol, we're talking about Sprint and HTC's over the air (OTA) update to give us Gingerbread without having to root.
Forgive my dumb question, I've just been on XDA reading posts and learning how to customize my phone for a few weeks now. I'm totally new to the idea of rooting my phone and am still trying to figure out how it all works. What is the difference between the 2.3 Gingerbread version from the previous version on the HTC EVO? Also, where is this "thank you" button?? I haven't seen it yet. It's not to the bottom right of anyones posts that I've read yet. Thanks!
Ok! Nevr mind on the Thank you button. I refreshed and they appeared....... ~)

The difference from the stock EVO froyo and stock EVO gingerbread isn't much. It was a half ass update if you ask me. The only good thing was the developers getting more tools to make more stable roms for us root users. If you do decide to root, I would suggest mikg 1.03. Great Rom and it has sense 2.1 and the cool parts of sense 3.0
EDIT: you also lose the ability to access n signal wifi with the ota gingerbread update, but if you are rooted than you can just flash the modified kernel the awesome devs cooked up.
And the thank you button will show up when you hit 10 posts...

First of all, next time don't post a question in the dev section, that what q and a is for!
A little behind huh 2.1 lol. Just flash any Rom most are updated with the latest goodies. Don't bother flashing stock roms, flash a custom.
Youtube a few videos on flashing evo and read some text instructions. Then put two and two together.
Edit: If you what a pure google rom flash a aosp rom. If you are a Htc sense fan then look for custom stock.

please, please, please just answer me this. do you know where i can get a stock custom? i recently flashed cyanogen 6.1.2 and i love it, ****ing amazing. but i like htc sense, because i use the apps alot, and somethings i like more. and i miss my 4G. i dont think a stock custom will have 4G but idc, i just want one like that. a good idea would be something like cyanogen mod but have it sense.
Im running fresh 3.5, netarchy 4.3 no havs no undervolt, seidio 3500 and its great. Been off the charger for 12 hours and at 74% life...very very happy! Running 1190 is my sweet spot. 38ish mflops 1500 quadrant and been completely stableat the speed

I had to throw a thanks on that post. It may not have been a useful post in the general definition for the forums, but it sure was useful in getting me to chuckle out loud
And in the hopes of being somewhat useful to the OP, why not start with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153&highlight=sprint+lovers which is close to stock, get your feet wet flashing, then try the more "exotic" stuff.

Check out virusroms or mynns. Good sense or senseless roms that are constantly updated by devs that seem to never leave their pc's.
Threads are everywhere. Happy flashunting!
And am I the only one that lol'd over the term "stock custom"?

Try myns rom. Its smooth, everything works, including 4g. If you like sense, you should like it.
I would suggest virus Rome too. I thing he's the best evolution Dec period. Been using his stuff since September, everything works and he never disappoints. Full 4g, full tether, etc

It doesnt matter WiFi, 3G or 4G its going to pop up regardless but if you want to download it faster turn on one as soon as it pops up and if it wont dont let it update turn on your WiFi then goto system settings update android and do it that way
Ok. Thanks.

Well this is the Q&A forum, so he's entitled to. And in the interest of sticking with OPs, he shouldn't be latching his questions on to other peoples threads. He's done nothing wrong.
EDIT: and some people DO want to get the OTA, not wait for the update.zip, just for the sake of saying "I got an OTA."

Usually the first thing the DEVs do is rip out all the Sprint and Samsung bloatware. I for one would like a week or two to play with any new widgets or apps added to see what I like or don't like THEN maybe slap on a custom ROM and add the features I liked also for the bugs to be worked out.
So the big question for us rooted phones is where can we find the update.zip asap tomorrow so we can flash it with CWM?
Thanks to all that make this phone great!
Will our beloved incredibles ever get 2.3? I googled it and found no concrete answers. I wanna know so i dont root and miss out on ota 2.3. I figured if anyone were to know, it would be the guys at xda.

It could be a very very long wait seein as there are a bunch of new phones for them to pay attention to while ignoring the Dincs.
Go ahead and root, tons of us applied the update manually to 2.2 without issue.
I have a family member working for a Verizon as a DM, I try to get information out of him, all he told me is that the Inc is "supposed" to get 2.3, had no timetable when.
When the Evo 3D comes out and the source code gets released for Sense on 2.3 hopefully the guys over here can make it work on the DInc.
I agree with Ben. Root and get 2.3 now. Why wait for a buggy IT'S when we've been building and debugging the source already.

If VZW releases 2.3 for DInc, XDA ROM-ers will do loads of stuff with it anyway...

Yes. In regard to the information about the June 3rd Gingerbread update, it is my understanding that on June 3rd, 4th and 5th, users who want to update OTA must initiate the process and starting on June 6th, users will be prompted to update. I am referencing THIS article.

Please forgive my noobness, but if I have a custom 2.2 rom on my phone, should I just hold out, or is it safe to upgrade OTA.

So have Gingerbread hard update (after Sprint replaced my screen) but now cannot root.
XDA development is typically over stocked and Gingerbread roots seem none existent in the thread titles.

Yeah, development may slow down, but the Evo still has more development than most other devices. Despite developers moving to the 3D, there will still be development, and unless the bootloader is now encrypted (I know it has always been locked, I've heard that it's encrypted but I've also heard otherwise) we'll definitely see root for the new update. It may take some time, but it'll come.
If you know anyone with an Evo that doesn't care about rooting and hasn't installed the update, trade with them. You can activate the phones on your individual accounts, keep your number, and root right away.
