[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] G2/SenseUI/Overclock?

Hi Guys n Ladies!
Im new to xda and allow me to say HI! =D
Im here struggling to find information regarding thigs id like to do to my phone!
Currently I have Tmobile G2 with CM7- Overclocked! Im not entirely noob, there are alot of questions i need answered but ill let google search do that!
Now, Im giving up.. cant find answers to things that im looking for!
I want SesneUI ROM that can be overclocked! So far ive been able to flush SenseUi roms but only at stock speed at 806mhz!
Is this possible? Is this a stupid question perhaps? lol ..
Anyone that can point finger and lead me to right direction or maybe supplying me with some linxx?
Thanks in Advance

Check out Virtuous ROM. I used it for a while and it worked very well. I believe they offer 2 different kernels. 1 is slightly overclocked, and the other you can use SetCPU with to get to the settings you want. At least thats the way it was a month or two back. I'd recommend Virtuous. Check out the Android Development section for more info.

Are you only looking for Gingerbread Sense ROMs? I don't think there are any kernels that support OC for Gingerbread/Sense yet. But I'm sure that's being worked on.
If you aren't asking about Gingerbread specifically, there are at least a couple of options. As already mentioned, Virtuous ROM has a couple kernel choices with different OC options.
Also, I know from personal experience that the stock Desire Z ROM works and overclocks just fine with the Godspeed kernel (and possibly others).

Great, Thanks Guys!
I Downloaded the Virtuous Rom + Advanced Kernel 2.1.2 and have found couple of things that are not quite properly operating. For Example: LockScreen sometimes stays Black(Screen Doesnt Turn on to unlock) and Homescreen Personalization Button wont operate or react (wont do anything) which is not a biggie, also bluetooth not quite sure if it works, because i couldnt link my headset! Any thoughts??? Overall its great, Exactly what i was looking for.. first, I didnt know how to flash kernel but youtube did the trick!
Thanks Again!!

Froyo 2.2 Vanilla

Hello everybody... first things first.. I did a search but I didn't find anything around what I'm looking for, so the question is.... is there a Froyo Vanilla ROM for the Defy? I'm looking for one that has everything working, I was able to find this one "(ROM) Vanilla w/ Froyo 1.0 (1/24/11) - Motorola Defy" but that dev is not working on it anymore and the last time that it was updated was January 24th, for what I have read there are some bugs on it, I really like the Defy but I hate Blur, please help...Thank you all!

never heard of vanilla.
i tried 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC and it worked like a charm for me. If you are not familiar with roms i would recommend this to you.
if you want to try something different, try cyanogenmod from quarx. but be sure, this rom is still a beta.
both roms are blurless

I really like that plain Android look, like the nexus 1 or S, what would you recommend to able to get that?

Here is what Vanilla looks like,
http://www.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/FissionHome.png

You can make it vanilla look by modifying framework files

I rather have a rom with no blur, thats what I'm looking for, I'm surprise nobody has made one yet, I know there is a lot of pure android lovers out there and a 2.2 froyo vanilla would be wonderful.

Take a look at Barebones

FYI: Quick search yields "barebones 1.5.1" - No blur
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989
Also other roms without blur exist using terms like deblur and blurless in their titles and/or descriptions.

[Q] Sacs V9 Kingdom - how to get wifi N working?

Ok so here is my first post/thread, I've been following XDA for the longest time and I never actually registered because all of my questions had been answered or I could just read the threads and countless posts to get my answer (I know about the flamers) lol. Anyways, I recently rooted my evo replacement WOOP WOOP and I've tried pretty much all the roms with the exception of the kings roms, I am currently rocking SACS v9 and this rom seems to be the one that suits me the most, I have the golden monkey 1.1 kernel and everything is running as it should EXCEPT that I cannot seem to be able to unlock the wifi N capabilities that the evo has, after trying out Synergy RLS1 with the N baked in I cannot go back to wireless g or b.
Is there someone who can direct me in the right direction to achive wireless N on this amazing ROM also, I remember I had SACS v5 and the boot animation was an android circle ring similar to the CM android boot animation that was pretty sweet, if I can get those two things on my phone I could die shortly after flashing them lol please someone help a brother out.
also: what themese would work on this rom? I like the plurstaralpha theme by Burst but it doesn't seem to like my phone for some reason.

anyone? 10 characters

[Q] Question about EVO ROMS

Hello all, this is my first post here as I am an Epic 4g user. However, I recently rooted my brothers evo and gave him his first custom ROM. He liked ICS so I put the latest AOKP build on his device.
Although he really likes it, it seems to freeze and soft reboot a little too much for his taste. So I am looking for a new ROM for him that doesnt have to be ICS, and doesnt have to be flashy or anything, it just needs to be stable and have everything work.
So basically my question is what ROM would you guys suggest for a newbie to the whole rooting/ROM thing. Sorry if this question has been asked alot, but I kind of need a current answer because I would prefer a newer ROM so it will continue to be updated/supported.
Thanks alot for any tips/advice I may get from you guys, have a great day.

I recommend mikg it is a sense 2.1 rom with sense 3.0 features. It has a lot of support and themes. Another would be classic by Tommytomatoe its sense 1.0 with a lot of tweaks and themes also. Now if your looking for a aosp rom I've heard good stuff about decks reloaded. I myself am running the latest Miui.us v4 rom and have no issues other then the obvious ics bugs

I am new to the whole Android world myself as of last Summer. So I am certainly not a ROM authority by any means. But, I have been actively been researching xda and flashing various ROMs since rooting my Evo.
The first ROM I flashed was Nitrous 1.3.3. I ran that ROM until the update to 1.3.5 came out and flashed that. I ran Nitrous for awhile but thought I would try some of the ROMs that I was seeing posted on goodandevo. I tried a MIUI ROM, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Cyanogen's ROMs, and went back to Nitrous. I tried Decks, ODLDub, etc., and went back to Nitrous.
There was certainly nothing wrong with these ROMs. I wanted to flash them. All of them appealed to me in some way and every time I walked through one of them it was obvious to me that the devs put eminence time and effort into them. But I go back every time. I am now running Nitrous 1.4.7 and love it. I have been able to chat with the developer when I have questions and was never painfully reminded of my noob state.
Nitrous is snappier then any others that I tried. Simple and clean too. With the custom Nitrous Kernel developed by ca1ne, it is perfect set for me. Certainly worth checking out.

thanks alot man, i appreciate you answering for me. I'll download it and give it a go.

Great! I would be interested to hear your reviews on any ROMs that you end up flashing.
Good luck!
