I just rooted my Evo 4G but never installed any custom ROM yet, as I was waiting for the official Sprint update for the Gingerbread.
They just posted that the Gingerbread is coming to Sprint Evo 4G.
My question is, will I be able to install this official Gingerbread from Sprint even though I have rooted my phone?
You can install it, but you'll lose root. Wait for one of the devs here to post a rooted version first.
Hey man, just for future reference, this should be in the Q and A section. Your about to get a royal flaming session.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695878
If you install it you will lose root.....just wait cause aol of our awesome developers will have a rooted version out before you know it....most of them are just waiting on the offical release to put the final touches on the roms before putting them out

why do people keep answering questions here? quit it and people will stop doing this
Can we please post this in Q&A thread . Someone move this .
the simple answer to the original question is..
yes.
are we done?
Does it really matter where he posts his threads? The point of XDA is to help and inform others about their phones. I understand this isn't the Q&A but give me a break. Just look over it and move on.

Why would you need to vent or flame to a person who really will have no impact on telling devs what to do?
BTW... I love it when people post this question fresh for the first time. Half the time I think they are doing it to get a rise out of the people with no penises.
Maybe someone found root, they just want to see how people piss and wine about what we can't have yet, relaxe people! it's coming.

technically you're in the wrong section, but since i have a soft-spot for noobies, i'll help.
you need to look in the development section and(if you are already rooted) install one of the many 2.2 froyo roms. this is your best bet. good luck!

I wasn't worried it would affect the developers. But myself and the other mob of people felt the need to respond to a post that disrespectful to the developers. He made it sound like they're here to do what we ask. They do this for free and don't deserve pushy demanding crap like that. I overlook a lot of stupid posts but I couldn't let that one go.

There is no official Froyo for our Epics, however there are several roms running the Froyo leak a.k.a. DK28.
First of all. Are you rooted?
PLEASE NOTE Post this type of questions in General section of the forums. This section is for development purposes only.
BTW. You will get more answers in that section, General

You don't have to donate if you don't want. Just read read read read read and read. Then read some more. Play around a bit and don't be afraid to ask questions– just be sure to ask in General, or preferably the Q&A forum. If you get stuck, there are plenty of people who are more than willing to help, just make sure to try and help yourself first. Oh, and be sure to read.

so then lets make him feel like **** and he may never get on another forum , wow dude cmon.
for all we know this mighrt be his first time being on a forum , i dont know . i just see giving him a hard time the wrong way to do it. you could have said hey it may help if you search . instead of name calling belittling.
just my 2 cents
people dont understand a basic thing.. the info on the forums most of the times is outdated and no one will know for sure until they try it out ... and for a noob .. its really scary to go ahead and give a try without knowing for sure if its perfectly accurate wht s/he is doing.. for eg i came accross a forum to root android device by downgrading to 2.0 which i highly doubt if would even work now.

Yup, that's what I'm waiting for. Why Odin back to stock just to have a bloated Sammy rom, when soon enough one or more of our highly respected Devs will have top notch roms for the flashing.

I've NEVER understood why in the world people want the "official" updates when they can simply wait a day or 2 for ROM chefs to cook up a bloat, crap free ROM!

The only reason people are getting "*****y", as you say, is because you posted your "question" in a development forum. I also was a noob at some point and still act like one here and there but I also show the fellow Xda'ers, devs, and mods alike respect by following the rules of xda and not getting snippy with the people trying to inform of a mistake made. Development sections are strictly for Rom releases and their corresponding threads. Had you posted this in the q&a section no one would have said a word to you. Friendly advice from a semi noob to a complete noob!
Ps people could get a whole lot meaner by the way!! Consider yourself lucky so far!

I'm not bugging the devs...I was asking the community in general? Its just I came from the Nexus S which had well over 100 roms to the Optimus which only has 2. So I have just been confused why there aren't a few more for this device which is much better than my nexus. Im not even asking for ETA's mainly just if anyone knew about more roms being made. I probably should have worded it more clearly.

jbrooks58. We don't mean to be harsh. You came from a nexus, a device that have open source to a device that is branded by LG running LG software. It takes time to develop for getting around minor hurtles may take weeks unlike on a nexus our dev community works hard and we now have a flashable JB zip. Things are in the works but there are a few things that still need fixed.

I see both sides of this coin, since i kinda just went through the same thing. I understand that he was just asking a question, but on the other hand there are probably over 10 discussions with the answer he is looking for.

The name calling is uncalled for, especially when you're taking advantage of the work that these people are putting in. This community has enough negativity as it is, and we certainly don't need any more.

Also, alot of the reason we only have 2 roms was because we were stuck on ICS. Not many people want to develop on an older OS, expecially when we knew there was an update right around the corner. So it was the waiting game. Now that JB has been released, and the source code has been dropped, this place will start lighting up. This is one of the best phones out right now, and it will start getting attention. So for now, research, read, contribute what you can, and enjoy the ride.
In all honesty none of those thread touch on how close we are to being AOSP, so his question is relevant. In every thread you get the same answer, either "we have already answered that question", "when it is fully ready to go", "were still testing things so it's going to be a few more weeks". I want to make it clear that I'm not complaining, And am very happy with what you guys are doing, but if we had a little better information about what is going on and what the problems are maybe people would stop posting so much.
If you want to know anything about ROM's/AOSP, go to the IRC. They constantly are talking about it on there.

We do not have the OTA captured yet. This question has been asked many many many times. There are even threads started with the same exact question. Please research before making more threads and/or posts.
Once we have root we can get the OTA unless someone else captures it before then. Right now we only have 4.4.4 captured to roll back to.
