I've done a lot of reading on the forums, and I have learned a lot. But I still have some questions.
I want to root the phone, but I'm not sure which method I should use. I've read that some of the methods are not full, or won't be enough to do other things. I've read TheBiles write-up and the method at http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-your-htc-evo-4g/, both of which seems easy enough. Just want to know if these methods will acheive full root.
I want to fully root the phone, and get a custom rom. Do I need to have NAND to do that? I'm leary about going with the Froyo, because I also read that it can break the camera. Is that true?
There a lot of apps that I don't want on the phone, but I DO want to keep HTC sense.
I DONT want:
Facebook
Sprint Zone
Sprint Football
Sprint TV
Amazon MP3 Store
Stocks
HTC News
Flickr
Peep
I would like to get a rom that can help with battery life. I don't want to overclock anything, as the phone is fast enough for me already.
Thanks for any help!
TheBiles guide should be fine, the other link is not full root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701004
I recommend DamageControl if you want to save battery life. Just get either deodexed or odexed and flash it.
Go down to the SECOND POST to get the latest info.

Go to DConfig and select Battery Saver at the bottom.
I also think you shouldn't use the contacts and friendstream widgets as I heard it causes abysmal battery life.
You shouldn't need a task killer as DC uses its own system. I also read recommendations AGAINST using setCPU.
You can also purchase Autostarts if you want to tweak some more.

You can pick any ROM with sense that you want. Joeykrim has a very nice online kitchen you can use to create your own custom zip that removes whatever you want. Look for it in the android development section for the EVO.
I have been super happy with Calkulink's ROM. It has most of what I like from sense and pretty much none of what I don't. You can either download root explorer or titanium backup (i have both) and they allow you to remove programs that you don't need/want without having to use adb commands. Good luck let me know if you have any questions
Well I just flashed DamageControl today. I guess I like it, I'll need a few days to really see how the battery is.
I think I'll try Joey Krim's kitchen, and I had been reading about Calkulin's rom.
I do want to find a different lock screen.

If you want to use the default lockscreen (which is what I prefer) there is a zip file that you can flash that will remove the sense lock and replace it with the aosp lock. there is also an app in the market to get different lock screens but i dont remember what its called sorry. flipz makes the zip file i am talking about have a look inside his thread in the dev section for the link (he makes the fresh rom)
OK. Plain and simple I just started using Android and I got the Advanced Task Killer to kill dumb stuff i dont use. All day long i check to see if i have to close any apps since none of the apps that run on the phone have a quit option in the menu so its just sitting there eating up resources. I have the froyo version running now and its rooted, despite all the guides on here i couldnt get it rooted. Its a white evo with the 3 point screen, i bought it on black fryday. rooted it by monday somehow. basically bricked it and then had to flash with the stock signed ruu from ppcgeeks stock rom db. then found a pc36img.zip that actually worked for step 2 and did unrevoked forever.zip via evo recovery.zip from pc with usb cable cuz none of your guides worked then rooted with unrevoked 3.21. stupid clockworkmod recovery doesnt work for anything, the other one doesnt work the same but atleast i can shut off the phone to flash from fastboot.
anyway stock rom keeps running random apps i dont use or even open. i want that to stop, dont know how to do it cuz im an android noob.
second i cant flash a rom cuz clockworkmod doesnt work at all
cant flash a universal kernel cuz clockworkmod doesnt work and the other recovery does work for that but then android doesnt load.
heres what i want.
stock rom without the random apps starting up all the time
modded kernel to overclock and undervolt and that fun stuff
and a usefull recovery utility
i dont want some duded up rom with everything missing and a bunch of pretty colors and stuff that doesnt appeal to me. i also dont want a rom that loses all sort of communication functionality to gain speed of how fast the touch screen scrolls. just STOCK but to have only what i use run and update and whatever you prolly know what i mean.
i wanted the netarchy kernel but it borks my fone everytime i try and flash it.
someone tell me why everything that is universal for evos does not work on my evo.
anyway thats what i need help with and i would greatly appreciate it.
reply here or pm me and ill give you my email.
thanx,

STOP using a task killer. Do a search on here, and you will find they are not needed with Android. Actually ,using a task killer will use MORE battery then not using one, as android will just keep re-opening the programs into cache. And its exactly that, a cache. those programs you see arent running at all.
Its a white evo with the 3 point screen

Hboot amon RA recovery
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
first off ur prolly gonna get flamed by someone just giving u a heads up... as the previous user stated DONT USE MANUAL TASK KILLERS where u initiate task termination... android has its own built in and will kill off tasks as memory is needed... it may not kill off what u want when u want it but its doing its job.. if u want more agressive termination use autokiller or minfree manager from the market. Both are free and kill tasks automatically by a memory threshold that u set(agressive, mild etc.) About ur rooting issues i would go back to square one and ruu back to stock unrooted with pc36img.zip thru hboot(shut down phone, hold volume down button then push power) once u get re-rooted using latest unrevoked, get ur phone rebooted and go to ur app drawer of watever rom u currently have installed and go to rom manager... select flash clockwork recovery(even though its already installed) once it flashed u will have the option towards the bottom of the rom manager menu to flash alternate recoveries... select AmonRA. That will solve ur clockwork recovery problems because clockwork has been known to not execute certain tasks like dalvik cache wiping. AmonRA works exactly as stated if ur rooting process was done correctly. I dont mess with flashing from fast boot because that requires an engineering SPL/hboot which if im not mistaken, to go back to stock for warranty or service, is more steps required because the stock 2.2 rom is only compatible with a certain range of hboot versions and engineering or modified versions r not supportive of the stock rom because of security issues. As far as ROMS go any sense rom will have lots of apps loading even when u don't use them which is why i dont use sense... if u kill off a lot of those "unwanted" apps u may be closing an app thats required to be active to activate another app so thats why i dont recommend manually killing apps... if u like sense i think myns is by far the most popular and everything works. the UI is heavily modded with lots of colors nd animations... may not be the best for u but flash it nd try it if u dont like it flash something else that doesnt have the added stuff... as far as non sense goes Cyanogen Mod which is wat im running is prolly the most popular Android Open Source Project rom meaning no htc bloatware loaded on top of it(any non htc phone with android like motorola droids have this type of rom preinstalled). Again may not be for u so flash nd try... there are also a few hybird roms which have sense ui removed from them so they look like stock android rom or non htc but stiill have htc framework built into them so they are not completely htc free. about kernels that depends on the style of rom ur using (sense or aosp) developers will post whether they function with both or one or the other u just have to do some research.
I didn't read what every one else posted so some of your questions might be answered already. If you follow the directions from start to finish on unrevoked you should not have an issue. I did it the other day for a replacement phone I got and it took about 10 minutes. You need to be sure to use Amon_ra for recover because its the best for several reasons the main reasons is because when you do a nand backup it saves the wimax keys. After your rooted here are a couple of links.

Don't forget to wipe dav and cash before flashing a new rom.
on the netarchy toasty kernel thread it said to check to see what screen you have before flashing cuz some of them dont work. so i checked and mine is the 3 point multi touch not the 5 point epson i guess. which is why im thinking it doesnt load before it loads the system so i get a kernel panic and it just reboots into recovery which by the way i am using the ra 1.1.8 or whatever you said i should use. i just selected custom recovery in unrevoked and by the way i have full root access cuz i used root explorer to delete all the sprint apps and amazon.

There's a whole load of good stuff in the Android Themes & Applications section. Some of the threads will contain instructions on how to apply the goodies to your phone.
Have fun!
You can use rom manager if you want to try some custom roms. I was hesitant at first... didn't want to mess up my phone, and didn't want to lose my data, but now I love it. I just used it to get the froyo leak onto my fascinate. It's also easy with rom manager to install themes.
I have an Incredible that I have rooted with unrevoked. I rooted it after I received the ota update with froyo and have done nothing else. I have yet to put a rom on since I really don't want to download and install all of my apps again and tweak my preferences. All that being said I want to do some things to customize my phone and have read about other ways to customize with roms, what things am I able to do? Here are some of the things I would love to be able to do to my phone:
Color Notification Icons - Is there a way? I tried one months ago and my phone crashed so I had to do a nandroid restore.
Change Lockscreen - Is there a way I can change the slider? Different color or something?
Blue Theme - I'd love to change all the places that are green to blue, such as when dialing or navigating around on the phone.
Is there anything else you guys have done to your Incredible that sets it apart? I really love to customize and tweak things to make it my own. Thanks for reading and helping out guys.

This is easiest to do using CM6/7 and applying a theme pack

> Not many customizations have been made to the HTC lockscreen. You can find a few metamorphs for VANILLA lockscreens to make it look like the Droid 2 / R2D2
Blue Theme - I'd love to change all the places that are green to blue, such as when dialing or navigating around on the phone.

Forgot, you aren't deodexed.... you really need a custom rom to be able to theme. If you want a stock sense you should look into virtuous... its pretty much stock, looks stock but is still custom. Then you can flash themes on it.....
A little off topic, but since I want to learn...
What exactly is deodexed? I remember moving *.odex files from system apps I didn't want after I rooted.
And that's a bummer, I'd hate to have to install all of my apps again after flashing to a new rom. I have looked at both Virtuous and Vanilla in the past but didn't want to deal with all of the extra work afterwards. I'm unsure what CM6/CM7 is, I'm about to google it.
Is there anything I am able to do besides what I've mentioned?
Try flashing virtuous without wiping data, just wipe caches. like I said before, that's pretty much a stock sense rom. You should be ok and not need to re set up your stuff. If not, restore nandroid.

If your main concern about trying out ROM's is having to re-download all of your apps, I have an app for that
Titanium Backup
Super simple. It lets you back up the apps you downloaded. Here's what you do:
1. Download Titanium Backup from the market
2. Individually back up your apps using Ti - WARNING! DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM DATA. Also don't back up Gmail/Maps/anything stock that's going to be in the new ROM. Titanium shows items in red that you shouldn't back up, so it shouldn't be too hard. Rule of thumb: if you downloaded it yourself, back it up, if not, stay away
3. Download your new ROM and put it on your SD card
4. Wipe
5. Flash new ROM - FYI CM7 stands for "CyanogenMod 7" which is a really popular AOSP ROM
6. Sign in with your Google account/Facebook/etc.
7. Download Titanium backup > Batch > Restore apps
You're going to have to click "Install" for every app you backed up if you've got the free version, the paid one does it for you.
You're also going to have to do your other tweaks (ringtones, autorotate, etc.) manually as Ti can't do that, but I think it's well worth the initial time investment to get a better/faster/more customizable ROM
TL;DR: Titanium Backup backs up your apps. If you want customization, you need a new ROM. If you want Sense, SkyRaider 3.5 or Incredibly Re-engineered 2.3.1 is best for customization (both have blue themes available), but Virtuous gives you the most "stock" feel. If you want AOSP, can't do much better than CyanogenMod7 for theming
EDIT: In response to your original post...
Colored Notifications are only going to work on a deodexed ROM (aka Virtuous/SkyRaider) - there is a rooted/deodexed stock ROM floating around that rmk40 posted (he also created Virtuous)
WidgetLocker is a paid app that can change your lockscreen - and here's a really popular app on modding the stock options it gives to your liking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825553
Cyanogenmod7 or CM7 is basically one of the most badass roms available, it's not only the newest of the cyanogenmod series but it's also built off of android 2.3 Gingerbread, so no having to wait for the actual legit GB release like everyone that's not rooted. If you want to see it in action look for it on youtube, otherwise to learn about it go to cyanogenmod.com or cyanogenmod.com/forums, everyone there is very helpful. I am running the RC1 of CM7, there is a few nightly builds after that so far but I'm just gonna stick with the first release canidate until RC2 hits.
I'd say the main reason I rooted was to try out different ROMs. I know you said you want to leave all your preferences and apps untouched, but I quickly got over that. I got all my contacts organized in GMail so that they sync every time I flash a new ROM. Each ROM has different preferences to play around with. For apps, I realized what I needed to do was just choose a few really important ones so I wouldn't have to spend all day setting up my apps for each new ROM.
I'd recommend doing a nandroid backup in recovery and trying out a few different ROMs. Try MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7, they're great. When your done you can restore your nandroid backup and get back to exactly where you are right now.
If you decide you want to stick with a new ROM, you can use Titanium Backup to restore your important app data, like someone else pointed out.
Once you're rooted there is a whole new world of opportunities...have fun!
Ok you guy's have got me very interested now. I think I want to move forward now! That cm7 looks great and I'd love to move to gingerbread. I was curious since this is the nightly beta release if I could later get the updates without flashing a rom again and restoring my apps. I had also heard I would have to flash more files like the radio after the install too. I'll have to read more on this.
Use Titanium Backup for all your apps and their data where you can put them all back on your new ROM.
You can do a full backup via Clock Works so if you don't like the new ROM or don't want to deal with any more of this new stuff then you can revert exactly to where you were before.
> For the lockscreen you can uninstall the lockscreen and then the default android one will be there.
To change the main look and feel you can try Launcher Pro from the market. It's pretty sweet. I use it with my custom ROM just because I love the cube transition and how you can hide a lot of the useless apps in the app drawer.
If you dont want to load a custom rom but would like to just theme there is a deodexed completely stock rom around here that will give you that option. All you need to do is flash in recovery and since you are going from a stock rom to another stock rom you do not need to wipe/clear anything so all of your apps and settings will remain intact.
you can consider just flashing skyraiders 3.5 and then not doing anything fancy. It's very close to stock with little improvements around so you might find that to be a good start.
Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions guys. For right now I think I am going to wait for a stable release of CM7 before I flash a rom. I really want Gingerbread but not an unstable release of it. I am looking at LauncherPro now and thinking of checking out ADW. I've watched some different videos on both, which do you guys think is better?
I also did one mod I'm happy about, I changed the market app to the themed "Black Market" with the different icon and appearance. I think I am going to look for some transparent apps next to do something different. I with there was more I could do with my stock rom, it sucks not being deodexed. Anything else worthwhile to look into?

CM7 is incredibly stable for only being at RC1....
I use it everyday now (Occasionally flashing something for fun) and I have NO problems with it.
If you flash CM7 RC1 you won't regret it. Just my two cents.
How long would anyone guess the final release will take? I think I am just going to keep an eye on it's progress and eventually switch. While it may be working well now I just feel uneasy about flashing that rom now, even though I can restore a backup. I'm having some fun now customizing my phone with Launcher Pro. I certainly like the customizable dock over the Sense dock. I'm trying to search for mods I can do with my non-deodexed rom but not too much luck. Thanks for the thoughts everyone!
I used to be like you so just as some insight from someone who remembers being where you are. Don't worry about cm7 rc1 or the newest nighlys, they're very stable. Although for a stock sense experience, one fun rom I've found to be fun and really have me flashing back and forth with cm7 is incredibly re engineered. With Chad's kernel its super fast, battery efficient and stable.
So ymmv but cm rc's are generally pretty stable. And incredibly re engineered is also a great choice

funny i just found that htc had a phone named Thoth, but i guess it was canceled or something...to bad liked the name...

Are you going to Rom Manager to install these? If so, don't...try going here to the home of OMFGB, download the zip and flash it in Recovery. See if that makes a difference for you.
yes i am flashing it through rom manager but i did a factory reset and it stopped the bootloop also. I dunno if i really like it it is fast and i like the layout just i feel the battery life is not so good and takes way to long to charge it back up. mabe i am just unframiliar to the new format and i can find some settings to help with that. other than that one complaint i love it.
well that is exactly where i got the link from. i just decided to do a factory reset as i seen stated in a step by step install. I found it after some serious digging. I love it just i think the battery life could be a little better. I dont know if there are some kind of settings i could change to help with this but thats my only complaint. i like it alot. The color layout is beautiful. Im going to try it for a while. Are there any other good sence roms out there that are one to check out?? I also tried the cynogen 6.1 and liked it just i like the sence style better. Thank u for your help with this..
For battery life: That's a tricky one. Try different kernels, but make sure they are GINGERBREAD compatible. Look for [AOSP] and [GINGERBREAD] tags in the dev section. They're all beta's, including cyanogenmod's stock kernel and any other gingerbread-related software, as it was never meant to run on our phones.
If you still get poor battery life, you have a few options:
1. Try CM7
2. Buy an extended battery
3. Use a different rom

what about cm6.1 stable and i am looking for an extended battery now and a charge pad i need to prolly change the kernal though. sounds like a better solution.
i am having such a hard time getting these google apps for the cyanogen 6.1. i cant figure out how to get them off my phone onto my sd card. i would rather get a link so i can just do it the easy way. I cant even find them on here.

download rom manager and use that. the gapps are on there and its easy to install.
Thank u all u have helped alot
I hate rom manager, but i did find a good rom for the things i use it for. Now im running Lithium NG mod its battery charging and use is acceptable, plus its speed and reception for wifi teathering is better than stock.
