Hi, so I'm super green but itching to load custom kernel and rom... So my Evo is rooted and have seen some pretty sweet roms, lol, kinda scared to flash and not sure what roms go with what kernals, do I even need a new kernal? What I really want is a kernal I can overclock to 1198mhz, and a rom build based on honeycomb and or gingerbread that is 100% stable or as close as I can get... Help? Lol...

hahah exited aren't you... welcome to the root world!
you asked for hc/gb. google hasnt released hc source code yet, probably not until ice cream, so there is none of that. you can however download cyanogen(mod) 7, which is almost totally stable.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
there's the mirror link. download either rls4 or nightly 33. nightly 33 is a bit funky bcuz cyanogen is pulling an april fools prank saying he sold cm to teh duck revolution, and the rom is now called 'teh duck uber distro'. so maybe rls4 or just wait for the next nightly.
everything works. 4g (with one bug that there is an annoying fix for), hdmi (download hdmwin from the market) gps (with a fix) and everything else is perfect. it is still in beta/nightly stages, but should be done soon. it is my daily driver, as well as many other peoples. this rom is crazzzy popular. try it for sure.
start with stock kernel, but i'd try both savaged-zen and tiamat kernels on it. they will both give you much better battery. tiamat tends to give slightly better performance/quickness but savaged-zen (on custom SAVAGEZEN governer) gives fantastic battery. try them both!!!
again, welcome to the community. hope this helps.
Where do I get the kernals? And what process do I use? I have clockwork premium... I just don't wanna miss a step a jack myself
Also, is it gonna wipe my phone, do I need to wipe it? No issues with that though as I do it all the time... And thank you so much for the feedback BTW, still a little confused...

ok, first of all, clockworkmod isn't the recovery you want to be using. download amon-ra's recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 make sure you get the pc36img.zip. put the pc36img.zip on the root of your sdcard (that means not in any folders) MAKING SURE IT IS NAMED EXACTLY PC36IMG.ZIP. aka just dont rename it. then power off your phone, and once it is off, hold power and volume down. you will see a white screen with scateboarding droids at the bottom. this is your BOOTLOADER SCREEN also known as hboot, and you see it quite often. so hboot will scan your sdcard, and find the pc36img.zip. hit volume up to accept the 'update'. then once it is done, volume up again to reboot.
you can download kernels from the evo android development subforum right here at the xda.
so first flash your rom. you can either boot up into it, or just flash the kernel right away. flash the kernel just like you would a rom, but without wiping.
enjoy.
any other questions, ask away.

100% agree. Amon Ra imo is the much more stable & user friendly recovery
Alright, so, can I do all this just from my phone? Is a pc recommended? Will my stock kernal overclock? Never flashed a rom before, I'm an electronic/computer tech so I pick up shniz pretty quick but still don't wanna b---- this sucker...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
you can do it all from your phone if you want. i perfer downloading on my pc and transferring from there in case i want to modify anything, but you can always just dload on phone. make sure the pc36img.zip isnt in download folder or anything if you do. it needs to be on the root. your stock kernel can't overclock sadly. if you have never flashed a rom before, then cm7 will be crazy different than stock rom. most custom rom's are based off the stock htc software, just modded. cm7 is aosp, which means it is stock GOOGLE software. htc spends quite a few months modifying htc sense into google software, so the speed and memory increase is very noticable. just wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache when switching roms. you might want to backup your apps and their data using titanium backup. just dont backup system data, that can cause problems. then flash the rom after wiping, flash any kernel or addons you want (dont forget to flash gapps if it is an aosp rom, bcuz if you dont u wont have the market or anything) and reboot. for any other mods you install after that on the same rom, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash away. wiping data between roms is always reccomended. if you want to stick with the cm7 nightlys, then all you need to wipe is cache and dalvik. there is never much of a problem with just flashing one over the other without a data wipe.
and forgot to mention, you cant control amon-ra recovery with rom manager. but then again, rom manager is just a touch screen version of recovery. you get used to the volume/power keys pretty quickly.
ok, im freaking out now, my phone is locked in the cm little surfer droid with the arrow circling around been constantly running for about 45 mins, im fuct, really fuct without my phone!!! its my only internet too!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
Did you do a factory wipe, Clear the cache & wipe Dalvik?
Sounds like it just wasn't a good install. Do the above in recovery & reinstall your ROM
ya did you wipe? doesnt sound like it. make sure data, cache, and dalvik cache are all wiped successfully. also make sure you are using amon-ra recovery. cwm can sometimes give you problems.

So i just recently finished rooting with Unrevoked 3 and i want to try out Roms now, I tried to flash Damagecontrol v3.5 but it got me stuck on the loading screen and wouldn't get past it so i just did a restore with ROM manager (thank god) and was able to get my phone back it got me really scared so can anyone suggest any good stable roms? Also did i need to have unrevoked forever install? and my last question would be if i install a ROM can i install themes on it? how does it work?
I've been using Fresh 3.4. Very stable, with riptides theme... u must wipe everything before flashing a rom....

Don't let that experience scare you away. We're lucky to have a large number of quality roms, themes,etc. For our evos. Make sure you always make a nandroid/backup before flashing new stuff and you're golden. It's difficult to actually 'brick' your evo. Read, experiment, find what you like, and become a flashoholic like most others on these boards.

Myns warm two point two rls3 is by far my favorite Rom. It's smooth and very stable. Check it out. I always do a full wipe... wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and if battery is at 100% wipe battery statts.

Yes install Unrevoked Forever. Wipe and factory reset twice, wipe cache twice and also wipe dalvik cache twice then retry rom.
Thanks for all the replies guys, i just finished Flashing CM6.1 and i installed a theme called MattedBlue, although i can't get it to look how it is in the picture lol but im getting the hang of this, and must say im becoming a flashaholic
so you got it without my help? glad to hear it.....
my first rom was evervolv for droid incredible. i decided to go with magnolia rom.. it all worked up to getting to the lock screen after flashing it. the lock screen wouldnt read my touch.. and i switched back to evervolv. it worked after i did. then i decided to go with Warm Z TwoPointTwo... and it did it again.. i'm getting sick of the same ole same old and i need help.. anyone have suggestions to fix this mess so i can get the roms i want???
Are you saying when you flash a different ROM, the touchscreen is not working, and if so, are you running the kernel that comes with the ROM, or something other before first boot?
Are you fully wiping data/cache/dalvik prior to flashing the other ROMs?
Do you have ample space on your SD card?
make sure you clear data/cache/dalvik and all that jazz.
you can also try flashing a new kernel in recovery, that might do something...
yeah i flashed a different rom to my phone and then it messes up.. the screen doesnt read my touch.. i restored my evervolv for it and it works fine again.. but i dont know how to flash a "kernel" that would work with the rom i want.. doesnt that come with a new custom rom?? and what is dalvik? i just press factory reset or whatever..

Dalvik is under the advanced tab in recovery. I do data, cache, dalvik before flashing a new row. I do cache, dalvik, battery(also under advanced) before flashing kernel. Dl krnel to root of sd card, flash in recovery like rom. I nvr use rom mgr for flashing anymore. Make sure u use sense kernel for sense rom, aosp kernel for aosp roms. Couple of good threads on kernels. Chads kernels work great for my phone, but its preference. Any problems just use the search function on xda, cant find answer then just ask. Good luck.
yes, i am one who likes to flash then flush
This sounds like the same issue you would get with a kernal that is not compatable with a rom. or a theme/mod ment for a different rom. I run evervolv myself and if I try anything else i need to clear/factory reset everything before i flash
i'm very grateful for your guys help. but.. i just ran into that same fix again. i flashed another kernel so i could run the rom i want and it still did it.. so i need to know the kernels that are compatible with roms.. specifically the one i want. (right now its Warm Z TwoPointTwo) but if there is a thread with this info i will try and find it. and also do i flash the kernel for the rom after i flash the rom or do i flash the rom then boot up then go to recovery and apply the kernel.. i'm sorry if i'm sounding too noobish.. i'm learning. very slowly lol
You are flashing Sense kernel with Sense ROM, yes? The kernel is flashed AFTER the ROM install.

I have been wanting to root and try a custom rom but I was scared of brick. Anyway I finally rooted with Unrevoked 3.3 which installed Clockwork recovery also and after that I installed rom manager. When I went to do a backup of current rom it said I need to install Clockwork recovery first but its there already. I know there is guides everywhere but thats the problem not sure which to use to learn what to do before I try flashing new rom. What about kernel I really don't understand where to go from here. I am rooted and Clockwork recovery flashed but don't know where to go from here. I am not a idiot just a little guidance please! I really want learn process of installing new and restoring old roms with my Evo. How do I know what other updates need to done before using a certain rom like kernel and radio?

First of all, if you're certain that your recovery is installed, then you need to decide what rom and what type of rom you want to install? For instance, do you want a Sense based rom (the HTC overlay that your EVO came with) or an AOSP rom (Pure Android like on the Nexus)? For a sense based rom, I suggest Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can see photos of it as well as download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 and for an AOSP rom, I suggest Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.salvage-mod.com/node/4. Make sure you download the Google Applications from the same page. Whichever you decide to flash or any others, put them on your SD card. Now shutdown your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will see a set of options. One of the options will be "recovery". By the way, look at the top of the screen and make sure it displays "S-OFF". If it displays "S-ON", you are not rooted. Anyway, select recovery. Your phone will vibrate and display a white EVO screen and then boot into recovery. Your recovery should be ClockworkMod. Go into the backup menu and select nandroid backup to make a backup of your current setup. You can always restore your device to the way it was if you don't like your new roms, mods, themes and kernels. After you've made your backup, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. After that, go to the flash zip menu and flash the rom you want to try. After it's finished, it should prompt you to reboot. Do so and be patient. You will appear to hang at a couple of places. Be patient. Let it finish. Be patient. Do not pull the battery. Be patient. After some time, you will see your rom's splash screen and then your new homescreen. If it is a sense based rom, go to menu-settings-system updates and select update profile after you've signed in with your Google credentials. Enjoy your new rom.

You can either flash it immediately after flashing Salvage-Mod or boot into Salvage-Mod first and then press and hold the power button until the menu appear
Select reboot and then select recovery. Once you're back into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache and then flash the Google applications (gapps). Afterwards, reboot.

Well I first off wana say, you were in good hands with dougjamal.
To flash gapps:
1. Download the latest gapps / the ones provided in the salvage mod thread
2. Boot into recovery.
3. After you have flashed the salvage mod rom, wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then flash the gapps zip.
Hello,
I think the subject says it all. I currently have android 2.2 (can't even remember what ROM I flashed) after rooting using Autoroot 2.4. Now I'd like to update my ROM to cyanogen 7. How do I go about doing this?
It appears that if I go to power down and choose reset -> recovery that Android System Recovery loads w/ Build "RA-supersonic-v2.3 - HAUS MOD rev.A" -- I presume that this is the key to flashing cyanogen 7?
What I think I do is:
Put cyanogen 7 image (zip file) in root folder of SD card
Boot into recovery mode
Make backup (NANdroid)
Select Wipe, then Wipe data/factory reset
Select Flash zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Reboot
and I'm done???
But I would appreciate some more or less brick proof direction.
Thanks!
Personally, I would suggest Deck's or SalvageMod instead of CM7. Both are optimized and fly!
Well you would need whichever CM7 you want to flash (stable, nightly, etc). Also, you will need GAPPS. Probably want a custom kernel too, I suggest Tiamat 4.1.0 SBC.
Download and put on SD card. Boot into recovery.
Wipe cache and dalvik. Then nandroid, select everything you want. I typically keep on backup on my card.
Wipe everything except for SD card twice. Navigate to Flash Zips. Flash the ROM, then GAPPS, then mount data in "Mounts" then flash Tiamat kernel. Reboot. Let it sit, then reboot. Then do the setup

Thanks for the help. I installed cyanogenmod 7 and it seems to be working. I'm now restoring my backups. I don't really like the default skin and much preferred my old rom. I wonder if just changing the theme will help (I think I like the more factory setup... is that called sense?)

The default skin is just a default. Take a look at my setup, picture in my signature). It doesn't look anything like the default setup for Cyanogen.

Tiamat kernel has different governors, has HAVS, and SBC. There is a sticky at the top of Q&A discussing kernels, it is really helpful.
Are you talking about the theme or launcher? You can always install another launcher from the Market. I have grown fond of Launcher 7. Themes, there are many options. Check Evo Themes and Apps section. You can also download themes to use in Theme Manager from the Market too.

Flashing the theme just loads it into your phone. Once you've flashed it you need to go into your app drawer and select the app called "Theme Chooser." When that opens you can scroll through the various themes loaded onto your phone. Select the one you just flash and hit "Apply." Bam! You're all themed up!
ok well i just downloaded and flashed the chopsuey kernel and now when im rebooting, my phone only sits at the htc evo 4g screen.. someone PLEASE HELP.. i think my phone just got bricked
No problems mate,just pull your battery,replace it,when turning on hold your volume button down,when you entered the bootloader,scroll to recovery and wipe your phone then find restore/nandroid then restore your phone to your latest backup,hopefully you did back up,if not reinstall the rom again after you wipe everything,then next time set your CPU to a lower setting,then move up gradually.I hope this helped.
blah.. so new to this i didnt know i could backup through recovery.. thought it meant like my apps and what not =/ guess i have to wipe
I set my phone to high the first time and it did the same thing and of course i freaked,lol.After bricking your phone a few hundred times,you remember to do a backup regularly.
what rom are you using? Hopefully not a AOSP cause Chop Suey is a sense kernel.

Did you wipe cache and Dalvik before you flashed the ROM? If that ever happens again, wipe those then try to boot again. If it still doesn't boot, wipe everything and reflash your ROM, err, start over, but since it was just a Kernel, that would probably wiork
Whenever you flash a new rom, wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik, system, boot, .android_secure, sd-ext). Whenever you flash anything that isn't a rom - kernels, themes, mods, boot animations, etc - or flash an update to your existing rom then wipe cache and dalvik only.
Always make a nandroid backup when you flash a new rom. I don't nandroid for everything I flash, but if you're flashing a new kernel and it has been a while since you did a backup then go ahead and do another one. You can always delete nandroid backups to save space, but keep at least one on your SD card. Also nandroid before modifying system files, like removing system apps.
Always read about what you're doing before you do it.
I know you solved your problem, just pointing some stuff out that you may have missed along the way. Good luck & happy flashing!

True that. I keep 5 Nandroids on my phone at all times: Original Stock/Rooted. Stock/Rooted with updated apps +TB & GPS Status, Last good setup, Current ROM before I added all my apps, etc. and Current ROM after a fresh flash.

Jeeze, I feel like I take so many shortcuts...I only keep a backup of my CM7 latest, and currently ICS, incase I had to switch for whatever reason.
I keep all my apps up to date in tb so that alleviates that issue.
Well, it's not about apps. I like to have the barebones, stock/rooted all the time. The updated stock is for when I need to run the Sense Fix for GPS, or just updating profile/PRL.
The last Good Setup is obvious, as is the current good setup.
The bare bones Nandroid for my current ROM is in-case I screw up, I can go back to that and start over

Well that makes sense. If I mess up, I just go back to the last backup. xp Though neither practice is bad.
