[Q] Help the evo noob!

Hey guys,
I've had my evo about 4 months now and i'm jumping on the root train. Got it rooted last night with Unrevoked. Now I wanna do something cool. I've been reading for hours now and i'm more confused than ever. I basically want to have a custom display but dont know what to do/use. A little help would be great. What theme, rom, whatever should I use and how do I do it? Thanks in advance

I would recommend any one of the virus roms. Check them out here in the forums you wont be disappointed
I would post the link for ya but im on tapatalk sorry

virus rom? Sounds wrong. Just the title I hope.

Check on Bnice's port of the MIUI rom (Chinese based) Be ready to read, it's a fast moving thread. I've been on it since v1.08??? and it is getting amazing. Way diffrent then any sense rom and it looks like the theming is getting ready to pop.

First time around, I would download ROM Manager from the market. It has alot of popular roms available to download and flash right in it. After you get a little more familiar, and see what one is like, you can go ahead and branch out. AOSP Roms (Cyanogen, MIUI) are great, but you may feel more comofortable with a stock ROM first.

If you want to play around with your current rom just mess around with Launcherpro. Amazing what a custom dock and icons can do to spice things up.

I second that Virus roms are good , battery life is good and they are smooth. A rooted evo can be customized in anyway you can think of. I change something on mine everyday. Congrats on joining the darkside!

I'll admit I was put off by Virus rom's title, but it's actually quite nice. I haven't run it in about a month, though.
If you don't need 4g, try out cyanogen or MIUI. If you need 4G, there are tons of sense based roms available. I personally like Myn's rom. But I also like Fresh & Frost.
I flash roms like they're going out of style & every new rom or new update brings at least an hour of excitement to my day even if I don't care for the rom. Try 'em all, dude.

Best thing to do is flash flash flash till you find something you like fresh roms are as close to stock as a modded rom can get personally I don't care for asop roms but to each their own. Myn is releasing rls3 tonight I'm on the beta version and this rom is beautiful, ava has a good one and calk too. A far as themes go you can use a pre made like riptides or flash a few options out of several to get what you want the only thing that holds you back is your own imagination so have fun and flash.

I completely agree. I first rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 and soon after started messing around with launchers (adw is beast imo) and themes. Then I quickly got bored and decided to use Rom manager and start flashing roms. But once you do that it is trial and error with the roms till you find the one you like. Keep searching the forum to find one that you think you will like and read the posts so that you are aware of problems that some roms have.

Is there a non-sense rom with working ziimote AND hdmi?

[Q] Is there a viable Gingerbread 2.3 Rom for Desire HD yet?

I had an original Hero a while ago and was using Modaco roms but that was over a year ago now before jumping to Palm Pre for a bit.
So I am totally new on modern hacks and concerning the DHD.
I know I need to downgrade and something called S-OFF and Visionary. However what I need to know is if I use a 2.3 Rom presumably from a Cyanogen source will I have full functionality? All Google Apps? Can I still use HTC Sense widgets if I choose too? Will HTCSense.com still work?
Thanks

Depends where you get it from, but on here most are full of bugs currently, I would wait until they are ironed out. No HTCSense.com won't work without the HTC Sense homescreen, but I would only worry about this if you REALLY need the service. Google Apps will work, and if they arent supplied they can be downloaded from the Market

Really? I have been running Cm7 (compiled from source and Now nightlies) and the only bug is a quirk in video playback in portrait mode everything else works fine, true if you like sense cm isn't gonna be your bag but otherwise it's great

No I want to try vanilla 2.3 for a bit. I have only ever used Android with Sense overlay.
You saying the Cm7 nightlys are stable for day2day use and all apps are available on it? Is it the thread over in Dev forum?

Alltho i recomend reading up on the full proess around rooting and flashing recovery, radio and roms a few times to ensure your not getting a brick out of it

does 2.3 bring with it marvelous battery life improvements?

I did all the nececssary and now I am succesfully running slightly modded cyanogen7 daily #5. Very stable actually no problems at all so far other than the Microbes live wall paper freezing and needing a reload

[Q] What to know about the Evo?

I'm receiving an EVO4G for free from a friend who runs a warehouse and was wondering what I need to know about it (nothing too basic about android, im already a tech savvy htc hero user) for when I get it, eg:
is it a pain to root?
best ROMs?
MIUI Available?
Best Kernels/Tweaks?
Any common bugs or optimal settings, anything that you thing any EVO user should have, Im fine with testing very experimental work and such.

Easy to root with unrEVOked
roms will vary person to person(opinion). i run rooted stock.
yes, muiu is available.
kernels(kinda opinion) will have to be compatible with the rom and there are many options.

The EVO is very painless to root. There are so many ROMs available for the thing it's insane just a quick google search will get you going but I suggest trying VaelPak 3.2 RC2, very stable and reliable support www.vaelek.com
miui is available.

Alright, thanks guys. I've used unrEVOked before, but not for EVO.
As for ROMs, I despise sense so that’s not an option for me. As long as MIUI is available Im sure I'll be fine though. I've heard about some ROMs not supporting 4G or HD Video, and that's huge for me because I live in a 4G area and tether A LOT. I realized the plethora of ROMs and didn't have the time to search and decide through all of them so I made a thread and will compare some of the most polished ones. Thanks

Wow great thread, thanks

MIUI is a great ROM, however you'll be sad to hear there's no 4g available yet... and there may never be. I'd still suggest trying it out and making a nandroid backup of it so you can switch to it if you ever feel like it & don't need 4g.
CM7 seems like the best rom for you, or you could try one of its offshoots. Vaelpak would be another good option - it's a Sense-less, Sense based rom.

I'll most likely go with CM7, I wish MIUI had 4G. I may do what you did or maybe dual boot MIUI if possible. There's another ROM by Myn that looked nice and fast that I may try.

root and upload basic android 2.3 to dhd

Ok so here is my dilemma.
I have been waiting for an update and still not got 2.3 and now I have given up. I have used cyanogenmod before so thought maybe that was an option but never really used the extras and hated the bugs. I currently never user HTC sense stuff so I am now wondering if there is a pure Android only 2.3 Rom/ruu for the dhd and does anyone have experiences with it?

bugs in cyanogenmod?currently? everything goes smoothly in CM7xx
i think that can judge by yourself...
it deppends.. you are a sense lover?
you don´t want or need root access?
etc...Then with this rom (official) it is sufficient
but i tried a oficial ruu vs leedroid (example) and leedroid gb,, its soooo much fast than the official RUU... and more advantages

There is a GB ROM that is pure bar root as well as Android Revolution which is highly recommended (although I prefer LeeDroid) and whilst visually you'll not tell the difference it does have plenty of themes, add-ons etc. on the development forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
I use CM7.0.3 and have found no bugs at all. Perhaps you flashed a nightly.
[EDIT] Dang!! Sergi beat me to it.

I have not tried cm7 yet but have tried 5 and 6 before on other phones and know that it is never 100% stable. I just wondered if a.basic stock version of Android would be better or not.
As I said iam not to bothered about sense. Only.thing I will miss is the contact sync stuff.

The customised Sense based ROMs are MORE stable thus "better".
CM6 and cm7 for me have been 100% stable for me. Never had a system fc or random reboot but won't argue with you about it. I can only tell you how it is on the DHD (and Hero) now. I'll say no more.

I used CM6 on my HD2 before my kid decided to unplug it from the charger and throw it onto the kitchen floor and break it, and let me tell you, it was the best android experience I had on a phone. Now that I have an Inspire 4G, I've had CM7 since the wonderful devs here got to root it, and it just blows my mind on how better and stable this thing is, as a matter of fact, I recommend it to anyone of my friends that own any android phone. So go ahead and try it, play with it, the worst thing that can happen is that you don't like it and go for a Sense ROM instead.

If I read the first post, I would say that you only should try some other custom roms.
They are all faster then the stock version. And the support in the threads is great.

This is probably as close as you can get
Hey there, here are some ROMs that I thought you might like to try. I had the same dilemma as you. I wanted a stock android 2.3 ROM, so I searched around but to no avail. Then I found these ROMs. Both are Android 2.3.3 and based on CM 7 but have the stock android interface. Check them out! I think you'll like them. : ) (A the moment I'm using the second one I mentioned; Ultimate Droid.)

[Q] Sky Raider Rom missing?

Does anyone know what happened to the Sky Raider rom? I wanted to download it, and when I went to look for it I could not find it.
Is there any information on this?

Its not on this website. Its on the Bamf site or on ROM manager.

Just use ROM Manager.

This is the BEST hybrid rom available for our Dinc2 at the moment, no other hybrid roms can touch this thing in speed, stability and functionality. Me and my wife run this as our daily driver.

Yep hands down the best sense based Rom

This is exactly why I want to try this Rom out. I keep hearing all these great things about it. I am currently on CM7 nightlies and kind of want to switch things up a bit.
Thanks for the info!

Well, you won't be disappointed. It's 99% stable. I say 99% because sometimes when on the net and it asks for a password a box a message about the SIM card sometimes pops up, no biggie. It's just a great overall ROM.

2.6.35.14/OC/UV/CFS/Vdd_sysfs kernel got some bluetooth problem with Skyraider, problem went away with the stock kernel that came with it.

I love this rom! Not a single problem.
The only thing that made me move to cm7 for now is that I couldn't figure out how to turn off the softkey backlight with it.
