htc evo upgrade to 2.3 and custon rom question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have caulkulins 1.8 rom and am looking to update my evo to 2.3 when it comes to the evo this week and i was wondering will this effect my custom rom? or can i update my evo to 2.3 with caulkulins 1.8 rom and still have caulkulins when i have 2.3?

No, think of this as updating your computer to a new OS. It's probably going to format -all, and install the new OS.
Much like when the Moment went from 1.5 to 2.1, there was in the instructions, it was noted that you'd lose all your settings and to make sure you synced your contacts, calender, etc before installing the update.

will it make my phone not be rooted?

Well, yeah, duh

Wat he said!! Lol, but wait a day tops n someone will have it rooted fir u to flash

Or just wait for a dev to release a custom ROM - shouldn't be long for a rooted stock flavor

[Q] Fresh Rom Rooted update to 2.3 gingerbread

This is probably a stupid question but once htc evo gets gingerbread or ever gets it will my phone tell me that 2.3 gingerbread is available? then if that dose happen will i become unrooted? I'm new to android i have the fresh rom. i did remember reading somethning about if u updated to 2.2 from 2.1 you become unrooted.
You won't get any update notification if you are running a custom ROM. I'm sure Fresh will get updated to GB once it's released and then you can just flash the updated ROM to get it.
Yeah once HTC puts out Gingerbread for the Evo then Fresh will update accordingly but from rumors I hear the Evo might only get Ice Cream
Yay... More waiting...!!!
</sarcasm>
Yup apperently more waiting or not update at all if the evo doesn't get an update by march im pretty sure HtC will be done with it, I meant they probably annouce the Evo 2 and for people to.buy it they probably wont update this one, plus I don't really care about GB it doesn't wow me but I do care about the new sense, the themes and the extra features are nice for sense, I hope we get that at least, I don't feel like spending too much.money this year so I think I ma pass summer upgrade this time around

if u are using a Fresh ROM its 1 of the select few roms i know of that has its own built in UPDATER, look in apps. Update through that you should be fine.
when or if gingerbread becomes official it will be front page stuff.

[Q] 2.2 or CM7 on DEFY

I am new to the Android phone, and I purchase the Defy on last sunday, I like this phone and those function, but I am thinking to upgrade the firmware to 2.2, the salesman say it can be download 2.2 OTA at April, but after a week and there is still nothing.
So now I am thinking upgrade to CM7, one question, after installed the CM7, can it downgrade to the original 2.2 OTA?
Also I am focusing to the Hotspot feature. Is it work fine?
my phone version is
2.59.0.MB525.Retail.n.CH18
firmware version
2.1 update1
Yes, i have done that tomorrow. I don't like some modifications that i was used to, in the contact list, that have changed in the CM7. I'm gonna wait to another version to see if will get better what i want.
it seems like cm7 is still in beta-mode if i was u i would wait untill a stable verison comes out
If you don't want to be flashing fixes every other day i recommend not going with CM7. It runs great for light usage but it has many issues for now.
I recommend going with a 2.2 rom like my EphuNord. It is a clean Blurless 2.2 rom with a few modifications to allow easy themeing. I also uploaded around 8 themes.
If you follow the correct procedures you can always downgrade as far as 2.1 again if you need to.
thx for information, but which is the most stable for 2.2? I saw some post that some rom are not compatible?! Any recommandation? I want 2.2 or above.
I am lost on upgrade or not.
I want to update to ephnord 2.2
But want to downgrade back to 2.1
I am 2.51 uk(the phone came with it)

For Now 2.2 will be a better choice as the CM7 is its beta phases so let it come as a stable build...
N dude make sure while upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 you does not lose ur downgradability and for that use the excellent work from fritolays so that u can downgade back to ur original firmware just by flashing 2.1 firmware of ur choice back...
Were can i find fritolays`s work,thanks in advance mate.

If you're newbie (or just want to use phone, not patch it every day), then better 2.2
fritolays's work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989
EphuNord is also good choise for you. They both based on latest official leaked 2.2 and very stable.
Thank u so much

[Q] help for a newbie? :)

i have an evo that i bought when the op sys was still at 2.1. i rooted with unrevoked...no problems. i have recently decided to upgrade to a newer version of froyo, however i am not sure how to proceed.
last night, i installed unrevoked-forever, and now i need instructions on what rom to upgrade to and still keep root. i've browsed the forums, but it's all greek to me. i know how to flash a rom, and am fairly comfortable with doing that part of the procedure. i just want to upgrade the op sys to be able to take advantage of some of the new features that aren't present in 2.1, and NOT LOSE ROOT, as i use my tether often.
can anyone please guide a sistah on the right path?
If this doesnt help you I don't know what will lol

If you're looking to stay stock rooted try flashing the sprint lovers rom 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153
Download the "odexed" version of the rom from here. You will have the latest Froyo version as well as maintain root.

if i were you, i'd try a custom rom. not just a rooted stock one. try myn's warm twopointtwo if you want a nice, smooth, fast, themed, stock-like experiance.
Try a sense rom like koni elite series 3 with a netarchy kernel then when ur used to.custom rom try a aosp I suggest destroyer v2 rom.or end of days

Noticeable 2.3 Changes

Will their be any noticeable changes in Android 2.3 for the Desire if HTC doesn't update the version of sense?
Sent from my PB99400 using XDA App
Im not really sure, but i read before, that they might upgrade the sense to 2.1 ,
And wish we get the official update to the gingerbread version...
Anybody, CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG.
I don't know officially but I don't see why they wouldn't upgrade Sense to 2.1. It can run fine really. But if they don't update Sense in 2.3, you would just see a little difference in Android itself since it's more optimized than 2.2.
I wish we even get updated to 2.3 soon.....
Forget Sense 2.1! Sense 3.0 is a lot more beatiful!
Why would you just stand there and wait for HTC to update your phone?
That will take some time.
Just root your phone and you can already get Android 2.3 and Sense3.0 for your Desire
I would do that but I can't get it rooted because I have Hboot 1.06

[Q] Put T-Mobile G2 back to stock Android

My G2 is rooted and I flashed Virtuous Sense 3.0 on it. It's kinda sluggish and sometimes it hangs. How can I flash the stock ROM back? Please help...
Let me ask a few questions...
What were you running previously?
Did you not do a backup prior to flashing a new ROM?
Do you want to go back to full stock, s-on, out of the box?
Thanks for the reply. It was stock, S-ON, out of the box before the OTA update to 2.3.4, then I downgraded to 2.2 to gain root, then flashed VS 2.0 first, then 3.0, and performance-wise, they're the same to me and hangs once or twice a day. My backup is now a VS 2.0. HTC Sense to me is good, but I can live without it. Just want my G2 back to stock, it was GREAT!
Search around the Dev section, if I recall there are some pre-rooted stock ROMs on there. Or you can just make the jump to CM7, maybe to CM9 (or CM9 based) ROM. I'm running Andro V13 and it runs well. As far as sense ROMs, I tried out Revolution HD for a few hours and was by far the smoothest Sense 3.5 ROM I've had.

Check out the dev section, I have a rom called g2slim. Its the newest stock ota update ripped clean with battery saving mods and speed tweaks. It has a ton of free ram at boot too, all those stupid lil apps take like 2mb ram each. I know it don't sound like a lot, but they add up!
