[Q]Help from people who know things ;) ROM question

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.
Cm7 i believe is very stable rom and many people enjoy it. Not me but people really enjoy cyanogens work.

Food for the thought process:

As far as the one click auto update option...you know what your getting yourself into right (as far as setting it up for your friend and then walking away)...lol.

Lol yeah I'm sure he will end up calling me about it. Thanks for the links I'll check them out. If the ROM I put on there us stable enough then he won't have to update.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao

CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.
I'm Running Nightly 93 and May gapps.

I'm glad to hear its stable. If he is willing to give up sense and cm is stable then I might encourage him that way.

[ROM][TEST][SENSE]Stock/Deodexed/Zipaligned Stock ROM

Most of you guys probably only want AOSP, but for those of you with extra time on your hands and with nothing else to do I present to you my first ROM, built from Shipped ROM.
The ROM is completely zipaligned, deodexed, and most Verizon Bloatware apk.s are removed. If there are any remaining, please let me know in the comments.
This should be one of the fastest Stock ROMs available. I know other people may have created the same kind of ROM, but please, don't flame on me.
Of course, this ROM still runs Android 2.2.1, however I hope to update that in future test version, as well as AOSP.
I also must warn you, the file size is a gigantic 240MB. If all goes well with this test ROM, AOSP will be next

The guys over here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778190) are doing a bang up job of getting Jelly Bean on the ol' Dinc.
I've upgraded to a Dinc2 and then a GNex, but keep all three... two with data plans, one only gets used as a bathroom VoIP phone, games, and access to my Google data.
Never know when you'll want to play Jewels or make a call when on the can. OK, OK... TMI.
In any case, you should get over to their thread and show some love. What they have now is almost a daily driver. If you can live with some minor glitches, it is a daily driver.

I'm running CM10 on the Inc now, so it's possible.

I built it using a combination of Evervolv/CM repos. Voice search and camera are the only two things that I know that aren't working.

Awesome! Thanks Zimeron.
It know it's probably just for you personal fullfillment but any plans to create a thread in the development forum? I have a feeling quite a few people would be interested. I for one at least would love to see future builds. :fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing too that the status of HWA and Butter are basically dependent on Evervolv. So, those parts of your builds will probably correlate with Evervolv's?
Thanks again, I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Nope. I've already stripped out a lot of things I don't use from the build that I ran today and plan to keep it that way. Drk-hd is working on CM10 looking at his github and I'm sure he'll do a better job than I can do.

Correct. Basically everything that doesn't work in any other rom doesn't work here either. The only thing broken that does work in the others (to my knowledge) is voice search (it never stops listening to you).

Great, thanks for the info and for sharing your build.
I'll just patiently await Drk_HD's builds.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda app-developers app

I've got a stupid noob for you about your CM10 build. If I wanted to build my own from the CM source and I followed Drk-hd's instructions in his github, I'm not clear how to incorporate the Evervolv inc code. I see a line where he grabs his github directory for the inc. I think the line he refers to as finishing setting up the repo. Should I replace his with the respective evervolv repo?
sorry, might be a dumb question but I'm new to the whole Android source code thing. Just looking to make my own builds so I don't have to wait for everyone else's.
Thanks for any help you might share.

When Albinoman get's Jelly Bean running on the Dinc, I'm going to turn the phone back on with Verizon. I think it would be something to show a 3+ year old phone running the latest full featured Android OS.

Albinoman's Jelly Bean ROM boots and runs already. It doesn't have HWA, so the animations are a little slow, but overall, performance is pretty quick. All of the main features work just fine, including Google Now. The only big issue afaik is the non-working camera.
BTW, the Dinc is only 2+ years old (released end of April, 2010), but still very impressive that our old phone can still run the latest Android OS.

EV said they had HWA working on the nexus one and the only changes for that lately have been kernel related and the kernel base is the same for the Inc. Considering how much faster and smoother this build has been since using the new kernel changes, I'm assuming that they are related. If there's more to come to gerrit, then hot dog. For now, I'm quite happy with JB on the inc and any additional speed/smoothness that comes will just be the icing on the cake.

Will JB be 100% working for our phone when the tools are released?

At the IO google said that they would release JB developer tools for JB. So will we have the full potential of 4.1 JB?
I ask this because JB probably won't be released (offically) for our phone.
PS: do you think the performance boosts of JB will have an significant effect on our phone? It seemed to on the nexus.

Probably not. We don't have kernel source for ICS as it is, even though our phone is slated to get it, but I wouldn't count on it so getting JB to work on our phone is highly unlikely.

I'm 76% sure we will get ICS. They have it for the S and they said they would release it at the end of August.
You must consider that JB is just an updated ICS. So we don't need an offical JB to have it running 100%. And Google will have a dev tool out that may help us. Lastly they have a dump floating around. Chances are that we can use that to help us build a 100% working ASOP JB build. But this all depends on when or if we get ICS.
Can a dev jump in and let me know of my logic is correct

And you believe everything HTC and Verizon tells you...? that Dev tool is worthless if it doesn't include specific Dinc 2 files that goes once again back to kernel source. That dump isn't as useful to us as you think otherwise we would have fully working ICS on our phones from ICS dumps. Trust me, if it were as simple as you believe it is, our devs would have done it already. The situation with JB is pretty much the same as ICS if not worse since there is also the issue of resizing XHDPI JB to WVGA because there are no JB phones with WVGA resolution. Don't quote me on that last part, but I'm sure a dev can correct me or explain it better.

Nexus S will receive the update and it is a single core WVGA phone. So, I'll be looking closely on feedback from Nexus S users. That should give us an idea of the performance gains that we can theoretically expect, if any, over ICS. And there is no need to be overly cynical about HTC and their promise of giving us ICS. They said they will by August end and so just wait for it. Regardless of what may have happened in the past, you will just burden your mind with needless thoughts...

They said to be determined by the end of August which is a big difference. And honestly at this point I don't really care if we get official ICS anymore I'm pretty content with the work that our devs have done so far without it, if official ICS is so important to some of these users they might as well have just stayed stock and waited for an OTA. I don't mean to take this out on you personally, but these threads about JB and "perfect and bugless" ICS roms have gotten ridiculously out of hand. Not to mention the amount of user that lack to read the threads let alone the OP when it comes to figuring out what bugs exist. Not directed at you at all, but more towards the users that have lately been demanding and expecting stuff from devs and not really contributing back to the community.

Its been clarified by reps at both HTC and VZW that what they meant was that the date is to be decided but that we will have it by the end of August. Take that for what you will, as I don't believe there has been anything official that clarifies this. I am pretty confident that we will get it and can only hope that we will get kernel source soon after.
Back to the OP's question, I highly doubt that we will have a 100% working JB rom anytime soon considering we still have issues on ALL of our ICS roms. Once we have official ICS our awesome dev's will probably be able to get JB working well pretty quickly.

HTC has to release kernel source regardless because of the Chinese OTA they released. It might be as late as October, but they have to release it regardless or else they'd be in violation of some law that has an acronym I can't remember.

OTA ICS will (should) help remove many of the small bugs we have with Camera etc... And once we get a hand on our kernel source, I believe devs will be knee deep in Jellybean goodness... The main reason why I am looking forward for the OTA is for the kernel source... Hell no I am going to go stock.. Once the kernel is up, I am gonna go with Nits' Sense 4 ROM!
The To be determined thing is crappy of them... They say on their FB page that the "Release Date" is the thing to be determined, NOT whether it gets ICS or not... which makes sense given it is in the table of release dates and given they previously confirmed to give it ICS... anyway, time will tell... No breaking my head on this...

We really only need the kernal for ASOP. IC sense 3.6 has fully working cam.... IDK about video. Phone video is pointless because it has low FPS and the audio is terrible.
Why is camera always better on sense?

We really only need the kernal for ASOP. IC sense 3.6 has fully working cam.... IDK about video. Phone video is pointless because it has low FPS and the audio is terrible.
Why is camera always better on sense?

Yeah, I should try that ROM too, sometime... I was wondering how functional it is... The Sense 4 ROM has some issues with GPS too (if you toggle it, it will not come back on). But I don't like how Sense 3.6 is.

Even if we don't get an OTA HTC still has to release source because of the Chinese and Inc S ICS OTA. That's why I don't understand why some of the other users are so anxious for an official OTA, even with these other OTAs flash timing appears to still have not been fixed, whatever that is I haven't had it happen personally (knock on wood). We all need to relax and just wait for source to be posted and let the devs do their thing.
On a different topic, anyone else thing the default sig on the XDA app is kind of redundant?

In my experience it was bugless (IC 3.6) although it was laggy. It was laggy in the wrong places (homescreen, and scrolling through certain apps) and smooth in the wrong places (app drawer, GP, settings).
You need to check it out

I agree, there were a few things that happened recently that have gotten us excited..... (The S getting ICS and JB)....... but we need to chill out. And in the mean time enjoy what we DO have, and not think about what we don't and might not get.
Funny thing is this thread only exists becuase of the recent changes.

[ROM] sense 2.3.4 JonSense complete virgin mobile stock [marvelc]

First off let me say...
I am not responsible for any bricking, cracking, exploding or accidental swallowing that flashing this rom may cause so...
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
this is a straight up stock version of the virgin mobile 2.3.4 stock rom, I cooked it from the very first back up I did when I rooted my phone.
this rom is so stock...it even has bloatware! (surprised that swype knows that word.) and yes it comes with swype.
features:
-rooted with supersu
-complete stock experience, exactly as it was at time of purchase (hopefully)
-init.d support (cronmod int2ext+ is the only script I've tested) I left out the script so you can choose whichever you prefer
-odexed only for now, sorry guys
-wifi, Bluetooth, the wifi tethering fix are all working.
-I am dedicating myself to this and I will be updating it based off user suggestions so anything you would like me to add, I'll try my best to add.

-CREDITS-
Special thanks to insink71 for words of advice here and there, and for his many other contributions to our community
dsixda's kitchen
everyone that works on marvelc
I'm sure there are more to thank and credit, feel free to pm me or reply here if you think you deserve some love, and sorry if I missed you in the first place.

-OTHER THINGS TO KNOW-
The market will update to play store at some point. it did for me after my first installation.
I plan on running this through UOT and I will be adding all links to modifications here instead of just pushing them on you as updates.
I am looking for a free file hosting service! suggestions are welcome please.
-Questions I Feel Need Answers-
Why a complete stock rom like this?
well, I couldn't find any working links to ruus at the time, and this is pretty much as close to stock as possible. I think I might be able to make an unrooted version if someone is interested.
The first question revisted
I like sense, I think its pretty. also nothing I've flashed has worked like stock, not knocking other roms... I'm just saying.
When will you give us an update?
Someday at some point. What do I plan on doing? many things, I'd like to get updates out in small time increments to keep things fresh.

-How to install-
1. make sure you're using a marvelc device.
2. do a complete wipe in recovery.
3. hit install from sd card, after installation feel free to flash any custom kernels, scripts, uot themes out whatever else you may want on here.
4. reboot and enjoy.
5.if anything weird happens or if any of my previous settings remain, tell me so I can get it fixed and get this rom up to snuff as soon as possible.
-A Couple Goals-
Uploading the deodexed version. Sorry for the wait.
Custom themes! UOT and whatever else I can do.
ring lock. I've got it on my personal build, but I can't change the shortcuts (probably never will be able to) and there is a lot of gibberish when I need to enter my unlock pattern, will update with this if and when I find a way to fix it.
a simplified way to take screenshots. get at me if you have info on that. right now I just use and recommend shoot me. you'll have to google it, sorry.
and much more. this is just the first preparation of the dish and this cook plans on adding extra flavors as we progress.
gosh, I feel like I need to say more and being redundant at the same time.

Screenshots
screenshots will come as soon as I get into theming and making different themes happen. so...reserved for screenshots.

you should do the same thing to the metropcs ruu o.o

do you have the ruu? or a really old backup? I'll look around too, I'd be happy to do this with other carriers.

All RUUs were supplied by Football originally.. I payed for his research for all three marvelc roms (to get them released).. JMZ has them all linked in a sticky. Suppose paying for doesn't net a mention.. lesson learned.

Ahh yeah I see them now. I had tried the link in that sticky before, but when I entered it gave me an access denied warning. I feel a little silly now. I had cooked this Rom from a backup I made before flashing the root.zip that originally rooted my phone. It's good to know the ruus are still there actually. If I end up using one I'll make sure to give you credit as well. But I'm not really sure if I really need to cook one since with dsixda's kitchen its a fairly simple process. I still intend on updating what I've already done as it is a great learning experience for myself I think.

next you should try porting roms.... you will be shocked how easy it is lol

I definitely will. Haha. By the way, for anyone interested, the deodexed version is ready for upload and theming. Will probably upload soon. Also just found out jonsense is taken, so I'm changing the name. To something lovecraftian.

Do you know of any ROMs that had A2SD support or some alternative. I vaguely remember when I used my Wildfire that I had figured out something to keep the memory notifications at bay, but that's been a while. I gave this phone to my mom and I'd like to have it set up so that she can use it like a normal phone.

This rom supports it. Here is a link to a couple scripts that should work. I use int2ext+ myself hope it helps.
