[Q] New to EVO need some knowledge

Hey guys. I know I can always count on XDA to get my info. I just got and EVO a few days ago. I have it fully rooted using unrEVOked method. I had T-mobile before and had the MyTouch 1.2 which I learned inside and out thanks to XDA. This EVO blows that phone away. Even though I just bought this EVO, I got the 003 hardware version and not 004. First off is the only difference between the two the camera? Second what is the difference between 3.30.651.3 and 3.29.651.5? Will the 003 hardware version get the OTA update to 3.30.651.3? If I flashed a 3.30.651.3 ROM to my 3.29.651.5 phone would it cause some major problems or should I wait until the OTA comes to my phone if it does? Why would I get an outdated phone sent to me when there is an updated version available? I know these are probably n00b questions, but we all have to start somewhere. Thanks for the help in advance. I have been reading to find the answer to some of these questions, but the EVO threads are huge and am having a hard time finding the answers I am looking for.

Im running a 3.30.651.5 rom on an 003 evo with no problems but iv heard others have excessive battery drain. Id stick with an older version that is actualy for your hardware though cuz your not missing out on anything, the newest ota was for a camera fix on 004 hardware phones.

Ok thanks cynic. I don't see how the ROM would cause excessive battery drain when the only thing changed was an update for the camera. I guess I could try one of each out and see if I notice anything.

Im sure theirs more to it but thats just the major difference that i know of

I understand. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also are the cyanogen nightlies based on 3.29 or 3.30.

Glad to help :-D im not sure about cyanogen though. It may not be either if it was built from the ground up. Shouldnt give you problems though, newest is cm6.1

Yeah I thought about cyanogen being an AOSP after I asked the question and figured since it wasn't posted in any thing that should be compatible with both. Thanks again for your time.

cyanogen is based on android source. currently it is android 2.2.1 build FRG83. sprint/htc still currently use 2.2 FRF91 or something.

So it is safe to use CM on any hardware version as long as the kernel works? Also, does anyone want to give me their experience with certain ROM? I am not asking which is best for me, but just want to get an overall on which ones are working best or are the communities favorite for the EVO. I am rooted but still running stock rom. I want to use a custom rom but am still reading & trying to get familiar with this phone & its development.
Oh yeah. One more question. I received an update while rooted. It was a PRL update. Is this normal? I know that probably sounds very n00bish, but I just thought rooted I wouldn't get any OTA's. Will I still get OTA's from Sprint while running stock rom rooted?

Seems to be true.

I run virus roms, he has a sense version and one without sense. Myns warm 2.2 is quite popular as is fresh rom.
Oh yeah. One more question. I received an update while rooted. It was a PRL update. Is this normal?
Yes you will still get notifications to update, hardware updates are not recomended for rooted users as they may break root, but prl updates are fine
Everyone was a noob once, just glad to pass along the info.

Gingerbread on rooted phone

Ok dumb question but how would you go about upgrading to gingerbread on a rooted phone?! I can't seem to find the answer anywhere & I'm scared when the time comes I won't know how.

I assume you haven't rooted?
You'd have to flash (install) a ROM that's based off of Gingerbread. Right now, there are only two or three of those

I have rooted & flashed myns warm. that's what I'm worried about..or my question I guess. How would I get gingerbread on my rooted phone.

Like would I update through Sprint or is it something I have to do manually?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Manually or wait until they push it out officially.
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post

At the moment you would have to do it manually. As far a I am aware the few roms that are available are not yet completely stable, and not all the features are working. Cyanogen is working on CM7/gingerbread, but has not released a build. Sounds like they're getting close though, as he tweeted he's using it as his daily driver.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

there are 3 Gingerbread ROMs in the Android Development forum thus far. They're all in Alpha or early Beta forms currently, and for most people are not stable or feature-full enough to be daily users.
If you're new to rooting I'd shy away from flashing experimental Alpha builds unless you're ready for some troubleshooting. It might be in your best interest to wait until they are more general public ready.
If you are interested, here are the links to the 3 I'm aware of:
Comes tweaked so far. Not really stock:

Pretty much stock:

Pretty much stock as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881557
I've personally used the 2nd and 3rd. Both worked for me but not without some issues for sure.
Oh and no matter what, get very familiar with recovery and NAND BACKUPS (nandroid). Especially when trying these alpha roms, get used to backing up your working roms and restoring them.

Everyone is so helpful but I'm not trying to do anything with my phone until it's officialy released. I just don't know how being rooted effects updating. I don't know if I'm wording this correctly...lol sorry

what my friend is trying to tell you sinse you are rooted you have to wait untill a rom w/ gingerbread on it which he provided some for you. and if you apply it manually you may be un-rooted then until unrevoke or others can break it .

Hi all
anyone know of a fully woking gingerbread rom at this point?

CM7 is the closest. Was using as a daily driver until yesterday to run Z3. Everything but 4g, which no GB rom has.
Check out the cyanogen forums for the latest nightly builds, and the CM7 thread in the general section for any Q's or info.

ICS Question

Alright sorry to post this ridiculously noob question to ask, but whats the current word on an ICS port for the Epic. In no way am I asking for an eta, and I'm not trying to rush any devs, I'm just purely asking because i haven't seen much through searching the inter-webs and the only thread on it here got closed due to some arguments.

The inter-webz & general thread aren't the place to look.
Check out the development section for the E4GT. There has been a port of the latest SGSII international ICS but we do not have a working kernel. Dev's are working on it and there is no ETA.

There are a couple of reports of different devs working on ICS but nothing usable yet. We don't even have cm7 do to a mix of arrogance, naivety, and politics.
However, my gut feeling says we are included as part of the official launch of CM9.

not quite true. We have a very well working cm7 kang. Only thing missing from it is GPS and a few minor bugs. It even has 911 calling patch. Just not on xda because of as you said politics. Its up on another big dev board though.

I've tried the kang and I liked it but it was too unstable to be my daily driver. I should say we don't have official CM7 but hopefully the Android community will band to together and give us CM junkies our sweet, sweet fix.

Have you tried alpha 4 that was released today?

There are already several that have been put for a good couple months. CM9, AOKP, MIUI, etc. Not officially, but will be official once ICS comes out Monday.

Thanks for the repsonse.
Any idea who'd be fastest or what the turnaround time would be with adopting the Sammy ICS drivers? I know a stock rooted Rom usually drops fast but I haven't kept up with CM so I don't know where they're headed with the T989. I tried out one ICS ROM that worked well but the two snags (lag and vmail problems) I had were pretty major and had to go back to stock rooted.

http://t.co/XduQLfg6
That's whitehawkx latest aokp build. Damn near flawless. Give that a shot my friend!

AOKP is the going to be the way to go no matter what your needs are once it is official there will be no topping that not even cm9

I think what he wants to know is
will there be an official t-mobile ics rom, stripped of Touch Wiz, thus giving a vanilla ics rom?

That wouldn't be too bad I guess since I'd get wifi calling and still could remove bloat. CIQ would still be there though. Wouldn't that need Apex or another 3rd party launcher instead of the stock ICS version?
What I really want is a pure Nexus style vanilla ICS ROM. That may not be available until the source comes out. I was thinking devs could get at Samsung's ICS drivers and processes that make it more stable but that may take awhile.

Why do you think CM9 will not be as good as AOKP? I don't really know what the difference is. I have used CM7 on the HD2 and loved it!! Can you explain what AOKP is? Thanks

Slow down tiger, We have a large abundance of ICS and JB roms available to everyone. Go into the evo 4g development section and look for some. For a nice organized catalog of all roms, check out the roms and kernel list in the stickies and find something you like.
Ics is almost fully working anyway. Minus 4G, FFC and some choppy video recording, its quite interesting. Best of luck to you!

The issues with ICS and JB are similar. No 4G/FFC and maybe some I am not aware of. Although there is 4G where I live, it's spotty and horrendous and I have moved to ICS as JB is still pretty laggy.

And say it publicly like on the threads...?
