[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.

My two favorites would have to be StrongSteves Odexed Blue and Phantom Hackers Blazer rom. I tried calkulins it was good but for some reason it was kinda laggy on my device. All devices are different though so you may have a completely different experience. In my opinion though the most solid ROM out there right now is StrongSteves Odexed Blue. He just came out with an update today too! Definite win!

I am currently running Calkulin's E4GT 2.8.1 with the Venum Minimal Black & White theme.
The minimal black theme with a pure black wallpaper I made using Paint makes my phone look just the way I like. Simple and sleek.
I have tried other ROMs and they all felt pretty good as far as battery life and smoothness/quickness. (Blazer, Tnz Blend, etc.)
I keep hearing good things about Strongsteve's Odexed Blue, so I'm looking to try it with the Minimal Black theme, although I am not sure they are compatible.
I never heard of a wake-by-volume key mod, but sounds like something I'd want, too
As far as kernels go, I am on the latest version of Rogue's "stock el29" because their non-stock ones (1.4.1 Gunslinger, 1.5.0 Hitman) keep giving me a laggy homescreen. something to do with Calkulin's ROM's battery saver script i think. Apparently the lag goes away if you install SetCPU.

i was reading some of the features in those 2 roms and didnt see one im particularly interested on and that is wake the phone by volume keys you guys know if thats something included or is there a different mod i need to flash to get that

I have that on StrongSteves Odexed Blue but I am running a custom lock screen app so I dont know if it is that or the rom that does it. Keep in mind also that the screenshots of these roms do not do them justice. You need to see them on the Super AMOLED display to really see how gorgeous they are!

im about to try one of them now

Rooting girlfriends INC2 got a couple Q's?

So I was able to downgrade the phone to 2.3.3, I was able to intstall revolutionary and got S-off. Had problems trying to flash the superuser as well but finally got it. Also just got around to installing ROM manager on it before she took off for work. Now my questions are, 1. Why isnt there a recovery app? Like right now I am on my rooted X2 on CM7 and have CM7 recovery as before that I had just had a recovery app (green arrow going in circle) but on my girls INC2, no recovery app appeared after messing with revolutionary. Does that mean I have to power down and volume down+power in oreder to get into recovery and flash a ROM everytime? Or could this be done through ROM manager? Don't know too much about HTC as I am on motorola, trying somthing new but don't want to ruin her phone in the process lol. Thanks for any info in advance. Appreciate all the help I can get.

During Rev, you should have got an option saying "Do you want to install CWM Recovery?". If you said yes, you're good to go. If not, you need to download ROM Manager from the market and flash CWM through that.

Yes I got that message and I said yes. The program on my PC then goes away and the phone goes to Hboot or whatever the recovery is called. I see it says revolutionary at top and S-off but when I reboot phone there is no CWM app. Shouldnt have to power down and then boot everytime correct? I just got confused lol, really not used to HTC.
Sent from My MB870/DROID X2 Running CM7

Well it won't matter. As long as you download ROM manager you'll be fine. From ROM manager you'll be able to manage your roms, change names and boot into recovery.
Edit: And if she's not happy with the ROM you put for her, just load up MIUI. I put it on my gfs EVO and she loved the theming and ease of use.

Once you have a rom that has a 4 way power control, you will be able to go straight to recovery when powering down, or as stated use Rom manager or 4ext recovery control and you can go to recovery from there as stated above.
If your GF doesn't want anything crazy rom wise, there are stock debloated rooted roms available that have the 4 way power option. Check the dev section. Lot of good stuff in there

Awesome thanks for the quick replies. Will try flashing somthing as soon as she gets home. I have been looking at MIUI and it does look nice. Even for my X2, looks a bit more stable for her device as apose mine. She's been really liking my CM7 and have been looking at that ROM for the INC2 as well. Looks EXACTLY like my ROM. Except I've read somewhere there is no audio for the videos you record and that sucks cuz my GF really likes recording our son running around doing and saying crazy things hahaha. So if all is well like you guys are saying, now I'm stuck on which ROM to flash. Thanks again for the info, has helped relieve alot of stress for me thinking I had to REDO EVERYTHING! That would suck! lol. So what do you guys think the most stable and best ROM out there for the INC2?
Sent from My MB870/DROID X2 Running CM7

Cm7, well the latest Kangs have been good. Didn't know about the audio on the vid recording not working though, huh... Nitsuj's stock rom is good if she likes sense, and wants everything to work
My self, I keep Cm7 as a backup on my Sd card, and have been mostly using the Ics builds for the past few months now. I like the newest Aokp release at the moment (27), and have also had good luck with Nitsij's Miui V4. Aeoreven has been doing CM9 build's as well that have been really good too.
The Sense 3.5 roms are nice, and for the most part, everything works.

Awesome, all sounds great to me. Just going to have to ask her for her opinion now. Thanks alot again, you guys on these forums rock and don't know what I'd do without yall. Will let everyone know how it goes later! Hopefully a nice screenshot! =-)

I like sabatoge sense, lot like stock with pretty 3.0 sense parts added into it, and its trouble free like stock. Be sure and wipe everything before you flash a ROM everytime, and I reccomend 4ext recovery over cwm

Like I said before MIUI but you can also settle down for Mikrunny. The camera is great for your son and she can use the SRS enhancement feature in the music player to have great sound quality. One thing about these sense ROMs though is that they are memory hogs. The Mikrunny ROM comes overclocked to 1.5 (I believe), so it sort of fixes that problem.

I use newts stuff a lot (miks runny, inc HD), I find that inc hd ran faster, they both almost run at stock speeds, one thing I found annoying with those roms though is that if u click on a phone number link in a message or web page, Google voice, it would try to dial it but never go through, may be a small issue for some but it really bugged me. I believe its cause its a UK based build. You can listen to everyone suggest and argue but the best thing you can do is make a back up of stock then start flashing and decide for yourself

Yessss, worked out great. Gotta screenshot but it may look kinda bad cuz I sent it via MMS from the INC2 to my X2. But ended up going with the CM7 for now since her heart was set on the look of mine lol. But thank you again to all for suggestions. Going to be trying all sorts of roms now. MIUI is most likely going to be the next. I explained it to her and she seemed very interested. Need to get in a better wifi spot to get these roms easier. Had to use my X2 to download her rom, place it on PC then onto her SD, talk about alot of bs to go through lol. Again, you guys are awesome on these forums and can't thank you all enough!
Sent from My MB870/DROID X2 Running CM7

If you go for MIUI, either use the ICS MIUI v4 by nitsuj in the dev section or the GB MIUI 1.29 release. Everything since has been unusable.

Thanks for that chunk of info. CM7 seems pretty solid for her device right now. So I see no reason for another ROM but I'm glad I didn't flash a buggy one off bat. Thanks for the heads up.

[Q] stock theme roms?

okay I've turned my back on the e4gt development since around the first days of the ics leaks... i just spent about 20min sifting thru all these roms (glad to see so much development! )
i have to leave for work shortly... could someone please point out a rom or two that 1. use the stock THEME and 2. have most/all of the mods/tweaks
i hate blue or excessive theming of any color ...except green

Well for one our rom "Goodness" has a green theme and we have a stock themed build also.
FF18 and FH13
http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Galaxy_S2_Developers/Team.Nocturnal/Roms/TNz_Blend/Stable_Builds/BLEND%20ICS%20GOODNESS/

Cracked stock FH23 / tweaked calk venum ROM FF18. Both are stock with a lot of tweaks. Both are from manufan721. Both roms are very smooth, stock looking, and very good on battery. Check them out.

[Q] Couple questions: BluKuban <---> MIJJz ICS GOODNESS

I have newborn twins and don't have time to flash and try out everything like I used to. I want to flash an ICS ROM and it appears BluKuban and MIJJz ICS GOODNESS are both excellent options.
Knowing they are probably both awesome, all I really want to know is if either one, both, or neither is capable of looking like stock ICS theme (like the screenshot).
Besides that, any additional comparative info between the two (pros/cons) would be nice to know as well. THX.

Congratulations, first and foremost.
The goodness rom can look more like stock than the blu kuban. Both have the rom updater feature in the settings.
Since they updated the goodness a few days ago, a lot of the mods are missing from the updater so give them some time or get the second newest version.
The Blu Kuban is almost completely blue and black. It's too dark for me personally so I moved to the goodness.
But they are both pretty stable.

Of those two options I prefer Goodness. With that being said I'm currently running the vanilla AOSP ICS rom from times infinity and I love it. If you want a plain rom that works well check that out.

Goodness has the most views and downloads for this phone for a reason, go check it out.

Goodness v16 had a "stock theme" that could be flashed over the Goodness default theme and was about as close to stock that you could get while still enjoying the benefits of the custom ROM. As someone mentioned, the large variety of customizations available in v 16 have not yet made it to 17, but I suspect they will soon. In the mean time, the default Goodness theme is not a huge departure from stock. Just use the Updater once its loaded to remove the Extended Toggles and restore the standard ones.

AGREED nd if the mod and such are in the updater you can always use v16 which is (PACKED to the gills) until the server move is finished ...then fi25 will be PACKED sooner than ya think ...personally myself I've ran a few themes from v16 and haven't encountered any problems thus far! Currently playing with it.
