Just rooted and flashed myns Rom but I like stock

I rooted my Evo yesterday and flashed myns rom. I like the stock Rom that my phone came with and I would like to return to it. I would like to improve battery life as much as I can but with the stock Rom. So my questions are, Where can I download the stock Rom? I have hw 004 and it came with 3.30.651.3 second question is, what could I do to the stock Rom to improve battery life?

Sprint Lovers is a very close to stock rom, your best bet probally lies there. After that, you can try running a few apps like SetCPU and Juice Defender. You do have to pay for SetCPU from the marketplace though, so it may not be your first choice.
A task watcher or killer also helps, I tend to lean towards Watchdog over something like Advanced Task Killer. You can also try AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, but if you don't know what you're doing, I'd suggest leaving it on the standard settings.

Is the stock available for download? Let's just say incase of warranty purposes and I had to unroot

You should ALWAYS nandroid backup your current phone image before flashing any ROMs. If you would have, you'd be able to easily revert to the stock.
It is available somewhere, but not sure where for 004/3.30.

I did nandroid backup it was part of the instructions I followed to flash a rom. I didn't know that nandroid backup was for that. Thank you.

Watch out, doing that nandroid recovery doesn't get you back to the stock rom for Sprint warrenties.
What you want is How to Unroot the EVO in 2 steps. After that you can take it back to Sprint with no worries whatsoever.

So what is I want a stock rom with some of the sprint stuff removed, is there a way to remove the sprint stuff manually?

Nandroid recovery then unroot for warranty purposes correct? I want to stay rooted so I just did Nandroid recovery...I'm all good for now. Just wanted stock Rom

In these forums are rooted odex/deodex versions of 3.30.xxx.x. Choose your flavor. Improving battery life is subjective at best and the answer comes from you trying anything and everything. People can tell you what works for them but you should take it with a grain of salt, try it, and expect the worst.
Personally, I improved battery life with one simple solution...extended battery. I have tried many roms for the evo and have settled on a rom I built myself. It's funny because I flashed kernels and roms trying to find the best for me and I ended up making my own and using the stock kernel (I have also extended the stock kernel but that's a different animal).

Yes. If you put in the effort you can find anything and everything you need in these forums. If you're good with google you can venture further. I'm not trying to be a **** but I am trying to let you know everything and anything you need is easily found somehwere in this wonderland of a forum.

If you are rooted get titanium backup and uninstall whatever you want including sprint apps.

Again for me I settled on a stock rom I built. I still uninstalled all the sprint stuff and I found that uninstalling every single sense related gibberish helped improve my evo overall (battery, speed, responsiveness, memory space). My info/personal experience is also subjective but you can take it, try it, and if it doesn't work for you nandroid restore is your friend and lifesaver.
Good luck.

Thank you very much. I don't thing your being a ****, I Google a lot of what I asked I just can be a bit ocd and wanted to get info from a forum I trust. Its been a while since I did any flashing but I pick things up pretty fast. I'm gonna try sprint lovers next since its close to stock and experiment with others until I find what fits me best. Again thanks for your input.

[Q] Whats the best rom for stability and battery life?

Currently I am using RandomRom and it's not stable enough for me to be able to have it on my phone. But the thing is the last three roms I tried have all been like this. I would just go back to stock but the battery life won't cut it. So I want your opinion on what rom I put should on my phone. Thanks.

Sounds like you are running with journaling off. If you have an improper shutdowns on a ROM without journaling you will get corrupt data resulting in FCs. Get good data on your phone, pick a ROM and enable journaling and flash.

Assuming he's on the Eg22 random rom, he probably doesn't have journaling off since the ROM comes w/ Journaling on.
To the OP, I'd try reflashing the ROM one last time, or if all else fails, Odin back to stock EG22, and then flash a rom. Sometimes a clean start fixes everything.
Hope everything works out.

I mostly was talking about his other ROM experiences and figured bad data got carried over. Your advice is good to clear all that up.

Personally, the best ROM I've used is the SRF 1.2 ROM by ACS. I have it overclocked at 1.12GHz and it runs like a charm. Battery life is about the best I've gotten it.

I agree with T980; SRF 1.2 is probably the most stable ROM with the best battery life. If you don't want EC05 and insist upon EG22, I would first Odin using Chris41g's kernel/root, or flash the stock EG22 update by Decad3nce. After that loads, then flash your EG22 ROM. Personally, I had the best experience with SuperHijacked ROM after the Decad3nce flash.

[Q] My girlfriend's phone

So my girlfriend finally let me root her. I mean her Evo. LoL. She won't let me flash a custom rom however but I have done a few things like a custom kernal and V6 supercharger without her knowing. She wouldn't know where look to find that out any way. Can someone recommend a rom that will look stock as possible and everything works. I'm trying to save her battery most of all. Maybe later I will tell her it's custom but for now I want to keep it a secret. Thanks for the help guys.

Stock ROM
LOL...that's funny. Well, think you answered your question yourself, you already have a stock rom. But, if your looking for battery life I would try something simpler:
1. Use Lithids freedom kernel
2. calibrate battery
3. Use Juice Defender
4. Install Amon Ra recovery do a nandroid for sure
Hopefully you can twist her arm and have her try a custom rom for her next step.

There are numerous stock rooted ROMs that have been tweaked and have boatware removed. Search and ye shall find
All the best
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Team Nocturnal Stock, just switch out the boot animation if you want it stock as possible. Oh and paired with ChopSuey kernel or Agressive Freedom if her phone can handle it. And look at Juwe's memory script, I was very impressed and replaced V6 with it

Blazer rom 4.0 vs Calkulins 2.9.2

Just wondering which y'all prefer, I've been running Calkulins for near a month and wondered if I should stay or try blazer.. I'm all about performance and battery life.. Thanks go yalls input
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I would go with Blazer. Phantom is CONSTANTLY updating his so that it improves in battery and performance. There's no undervolting script included, but you can adjust that anyways with SetCPU and you probably don't need it because Blazer battery life is amazing.

I'm a Blazer fan myself, so naturally I would recommend trying it out. What you could do is nandroid backup your Calkulin set up, and try Blazer. If you don't like it you can always restore your Calkulin set up.

I personally am using blazer, i didnt like calkulin's for some reason, although im currently waiting for the updated version of TCP's MIUI.

+1 on Blazer. Both are excellent roms but Blazer is definitely ahead in the battery game (though from what I read, Calkulin's new ICS ROM has amazing battery life when idle).

The latest blazer requires a full wipe. did you do that? did you flash calk's format all?

No just a reg wipe thru cwm

Follow the OP instructions exactly and you should be good to go. Most people who where stuck at the boot logo didn't wipe fully. You can just flash calks format all to make things simpler, then flash the rom right after.
after you flash blazer 4.0 and can boot, you can restore your data using cwm if you want. Just go to back up and restore in cwm, then advance restore-> data of your latest nandroid backup.

I expected this thread to be about 50/50! What have I been missing out on? Lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I think you should give Blend a try.
I love Blazer for its battery life and frequent updates. I love Calkulins for all the extra stuff he has thrown in there (and yes his ICS room is awesome!).
But yeah my all time favorite is Blend (on GB or ICS).

If you do restore-data, does it put all the settings and programs back on the phone like it was with the other rom? One reason i'm hesitant to install another rom is all the work it takes to get it back to the way this one was.

The first rom I flashed was blazer and I loved it! but it seemed like after each update I disliked it more and more, although I'm sure his new one is awesome. My personal preference is Calk's because it was completely stable for me and gave me the best battery life, even overclocked.

Well I tried to full wipe with Calkulins zip and for extra measure wiped myself and I'm back on the Samsung boot screen.. What's going on with blazer not wanting to install.. I'm on el29..

Try flashing the stock el29 rom which will set the kernel and modem back to el29. Happened to me before and this has worked.
Sent from my iPhone killer.

I am currently on Blazer 4.0 and it is super smooth and stable. I was using Calkulins OG ICS build and i had alot of crashes and very problematic. Though Calkulin post all leaks and new builds very quickly and is getting the dev opertunities where they are now i believe blazer is far perfecting them.

Did you do an MD5 check to make sure you got a good clean download? I had the same problems before and I found it was due to a bad download (it happens, not the dev's fault).

[Q] Horrible battery life.

I feel as if I'm the only one with horrible battery life. On average my battery lasts around 8 hours and that's if I check up on it once in a while. I was at 41% charge and I watched a 4 minute youtube video and my battery dropped to 33%. My phone was rooted but that was it, I don't have any knowledge on roms or anything. Can anyone else recommend what to do with my phone? I don't want to sacrifice usability but I really need a longer lasting battery. Are there any ROMS I can download, or kernels, basically anything to help out.

Try out the infamous 2.0 kernel, can grab it from the infamous rom i believe.
its known to give really good battery life. also kts kernel with good set up can also give good battey life.
can also download betterbatterystats and see what is draining your app. try disabling sync and look at how many accounts are synching...all those are factors in battery drains.

Okay, I need to root my phone real quick. I'm going to download the infamous 2.0 kernel, and I'll try to find where I can download a kts kernel, do you have a link to this kernel? Also how do I install kernels . Thank you. Is there any rom for me to download?

You flash kernels like anything else. I'd suggest cwm paired with ROM manager.

Before you flash ANYTHING you should ALWAYS do a nandroid backup. This backs up what your currently running and if you get in a pinch you can always restore your nandroi d backup. Never install anything without doing your backup first. You will be very glad you have that backup at times. To flash a rom or kernel you must first be rooted. Then your steps are first do your nandroid backup then go into recovery by pressing volume up power and home button. This will take you to your custom recovery that you installed after rooting. Then you wipe data factory reset then wipe cash and dalvik now you won't have a system and you can cleanly install your rom. You will choose zip from sd card.scroll through and find the rom you placed on the root of your sd card. Now install then reboot. That's it. If there is any issue with the rom you can restore your backup the same way but you would wipe then press restore backup and choose the backup you wish to restore. Hope this helps. But read read and read again. Do not make any changes to your device until your comfortable and have read and understood the processes thoroughly!!!

Yes you can download and install other Kernels as long as they are compatible with your rom. For example, if you have the Infamous Rom installed which is TW (TouchWiz) based as opposed to AOSP/CM based, you can install compatible TW kernels. I'd recommend looking into the KT-SGS4 Kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393708.

I installed Infamous rom yesterday and in total i got 6 hours and 30 minutes of screen time... this was a huge improvement, i was using it heavily the entire time, i was watching video after video... I dont know if its the best rom out there but it works for me.
Edit- Just installed the KTS kernel, hopefully this will further extend my battery life.
