No 720p roms? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been trying to find a rom that will allow me to record in 720p. Every time I try it records for two seconds and just closes. No fc just boom back to home screen. Does it with aosp and sense. Any suggestions as to why? Is it a rom thing or what?

Regular sense roms are able to. Aosp isn't. Idk about sense 2 and 3
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

If you want all the functions from our phones use the software built for them. OTAs all work. If your going to use ports, or aosp don't expect everything to be perfect.

I get 720p video on team nocturnal's kinged shooter e3d rom. Haven't had any problems on it yet, although the camera scene settings don't all work.

I've heard that a slow sdcard causes issues.

Yeah I am using evolved rom. How can I tell the ad card speed?

SD class. If you are using a stock SD card, it is class 2 at 2 MB/s (write speed). That is a slow crawl. The top SD cards claim class "10". But all SD cards are not made equal.
Link to wikipedia article telling about class speeds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating
Class speed is usually written on the card itself.

Hmm my sd card says class 4. So I don't think that's the issue.

Ok well you haven't exactly explained your situation enough, we can't help you if you give us nothing.
What other roms have to tried? This will tell us if its a problem with the phone, the rom, or the card. Have you tried another card? How much free space does your card have? Have you error checked it? What kernal are you using? Have you tried a different kernal? Have you tried the stock rom?

I've tried many ROMs and the only ones with true 720p support are Stock ones. Wish it were different as I'm a fan of AOSP roms.

I am running MikG HTC Sense 2.1 + 3.0 v2.56. It's a stable ROM, lots of perks and everything works.
He's up to v2.58 now. Here's the link:

In my opinion I am using Damage Control 3.5 Final... but you have to fully rooted (have unlocked your NAND) for this ROM to install. So if you used toast's method to ROOT you should be fine. I have excellent battery life and havent had any problems witht this ROM. Wifi tether works (I used it yesterday to jailbreak an iPad at bestbuy).
I'm defiantly full nand unlocked.does that rom have sense installed? I use launcher pro. Also hows your ram on that one? On fresh typically have about 175-200 free.

Yes it does have Sense.. .and Internal Phone storeage is about 300MB before I installed all of my apps...
I use CyanogenMod, the nightly builds (it's gotten a lot faster than RC1 since a few days ago).
Personally there are some aspects of Sense I miss... Mostly the text select for copy/paste, since vanilla Android's implementation sucks, but overall I prefer CyanogenMod more, hands-down. Also, I trend to average around 180-200MB free RAM.
As far as I know, if you don't want any trace of Sense on your phone, CyanogenMod is your only real choice, since it is built from the ground up on Android's sourcecode.
But with any other ROM, Sense can be disabled.
The two I'd recommend would be CyanogenMod or Baked Snacks. I haven't tried Damaged Goods though... I'll have to try it out.
Oh, and just so you know, CyanogenMod currently doesn't have 4G, if that matters to you.

for DC 3.5 you can very easily Ban sense in DCONFIG if you dont want it. I ban all sprint apps, sense, and launcher in the config so that all i am left with is launcher pro.
This lets me have my 4g, hdmi, fm radio. Still lets me have 2.2 and gets rid of sense. plus DC is an amazing rom anyway.

Random Question ROM Flashing

Random question: How often do you flash between ROMs? On a daily basis?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
I am testing the cyanogenmod 7 nightlies right now and i wait about every 3-4 builds (3-4 days). And sometimes back to unrevoked for a gps fix or update prl/profile.
At first, it seemed like every 2 or 3 days, but lately, I've been more content with finding a daily. I had Koni III for a month or so, then Giger for a week and now Mik's, which I bet I keep for a long time.
For a while, I would flash almost every new rom that came out...but then it got to a point where 4 out of 5 roms were all the same base, just themed a little, and a new apk here and there. So I ported my own and been with that/testing changes for a few weeks now.

I personally flash between ROMs when I see a ROM that has some features that look interesting, bug fixes, or when I get bored.
Also, from my experience of flashing ROMs, some features work better than others. I just make a back-up and switch between 2 or 3 ROMs depending on the circumstances and my need.
For example, one day, I wanted to play Super Mario Bros. 3 so I flashed over to a AOSP Rom - CM7 - so I could play the NES emulator with the Wii controller..
However, on CM7.0.3.1, my 4g crashes when tethering over wifi, but works perfect on usb tether mode. So with that, if I am wanting to tether wifi to watch a netflix movie on the tv, I flash over to either Warm2.2 or MikG 1.x.
I flash just about evening that comes out mostly to play with I'm on mikg v1.02 now and its working great.
And skyraider is a bad ass ROM I definitely have a backup of it thats what I usually run when I'm not near 4g but thats not to much now that 4g is working great even in my house if that ROM had 4g it would be perfect if you haven't tried it you should.

Alright, let's try to solve this. What ROM are you coming from? Did you do a full system, cache, dalvik wipe? What radio to you have? I think the current radio is 1.09.01.0622. Does your md5 match 888c72b821a250cc5c92c93ce44b4a88? Btw md5 is to make sure your download is not corrupt, a simple google search will find you a app to do this. If you are getting past the splash screen it will take around 2-6 minutes roughly to boot from the mik mik animation.

I'm currently rooted stock. Like I gained s-off with alpharevx's tool, and then flashed clockwork and Su. And yeah, I wiped all that stuff. I tried a fresh download and got the same results. I let the boot animation go for about 5 min. I don't really have reliable access to a computer, so I can't really dl the app to compare sums.

Some Help...
I have tried Almost every rom up here since root was achieved.
I keep going back to CyanogenMod, but OMGB & TSM's Pool Party are both light weight, & Fast ASOP Roms.
Can't stand Sense in any version since I tried an ASOP Rom. I have tried a few of the sense roms to come up here, but I never stay for long. I have much better looking widgets, and am fine without it's over bloatedness
If you want SPEED, STABILITY, CUSTOMIZATION, etc. CM7 is a great choice, but in the end its your phone, Don't be afraid to try a rom for a day and see how it fits you if you don't like it go on to something else!
all of these roms have their ups and downs here are some I have tried at least once.
ASOP
*-CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC Incredible 2 Beta
*-CyanogenMod 7 Nightlys
*-OMGB 1.2.1
*-OMFGB 1.3.0 Nightlies
*-TSM PoolParty v1.3
*-MIUI WTF If I wanted an iPhone I would have bought one!
Sense
*-TSM GingerBangVanilla 1.7
*-Virtuous Unity 1.31.3 :: Sense 3.0
I also recommend a better Recovery like Amon Ra or the fixed ClockworkMod by Matt Devo that has many different color choices.
A better recovery will make your flashing life much easier since we don't have a track pad like the Incredible or the Aria and all the clicking gets old FAST!​Don't forget a kernel!
Better battery life and the over clock speeds are just some of the things they fix, and some will help with sound volume issues in the ASOP Roms

I have been running GB since EF02 and never had any wifi or 4G issues and always was able to run Sprint TV. GPS was reduced to less satellite locks to conserve battery. The great Devs here ported the Fascinate library files to give us full locks again. I recommend Legendary 2.1 which has the GPS fixed library and the patch for key skips as well as a bunch of other goodies.

What you are seeing is a lot more apps loading themselves into memory whenever the heck they want to. I froze all the recent extras that I don't use like Google Talk, Google +, Maps, and a few others. Memory Booster Lite helped me see all the apps loading into memory to freeze or uninstall. I have no memory leaks, kill those apps in MBL task killer and I usually have 180MB free.

Hey guys I got my hands on a Epic 4G from a friend for doing some computer work and I have a Evo 4G as well. I really like the Epic 4G but it is so much different in terms of rooting and flashing, I have my phone rooted with the latest version of Gingerbread and with ACS Recovery based on CWM5. I am planning on running CM7 but I am looking for the best kernel to use and the best way to install them.
Also are there any scripts that are similar to Dark Tremors Apps 2 SD? Thanks for you time!

Honestly if ur gonna run cm7 with the stoc kernal I would try that for the time being or follow the nightlies. But a couple of other ppl have kernals for cm7 but try stock first then go from there. I'm on nightly 15 and haven't found ay probs with it yet
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Everything good is in the top 10 in Development. You can't ask what is the best because each phone reacts differently to the kernels. Also move to CWM 5.027 since it is officially supported for our phone now. Once you move to CM7 you will be on MTD and either stick with MTD ROMs or Odin back and repartition your phone to try BML ROMs. Read through the development ROMs and kernels to follow the bugs and fixes some users experience.

I ran an evo for a week. It was interesting.
There is less going on with the epic as far as rom choices, but what we lack in quantity we make up for in quality. CM7 is very good and stable. With it you don't really need apps2sd because there is a bunch of space available. As far as a good kernel, stock is fine, but I have been using KernelSanders. It's stable, can overclock, and great battery life. I'd check it out
