man flashing roms on evo is so easy, i tried to flash a rom not so long ago while i was at a stop light the other day and it took more for the light to go back to green than the phone to flash, you'll love it
I came from the Palm Pre and I was a little nervous at first. And slightly confused by the different lingo. But to be honest, rooted and flashing your Evo is extremely easy.
I use this guide every time (I root friends phones). I kinda giggle at how easy it is, and how smart they think I am haha.

Get it.
Giggity giggity.
Free sounds good.
Great ROMs available.
Battery kills the Tbolt's.
If 4g isn't a need for you, the DInc2 is the best phone on the market IMHO, especially for the price.
I have 4g in my area, but always use wifi if i can, im leanin towards dinc 2

If its hacks an Roms you want? THe Dinc 2 is great!!!
The dinc 2 is a great phone with plenty of Roms to choose from. If I had an upgrade i would get the new $300 HTC smartphone (but thats just becuase of the specs).
If you get a dinc 2 it will be running android 2.3.4. THat version is not rooted yet.
but you can downgrade to android 2.3.3 using this

Then root 2.3.3 using

I ended up getting my Dinc2 for free on Black Friday, and have been loving it. It's a great phone, everything I need, and nothing I don't.

for Rooting Revolutionary gives permanent root for some devices , and for others it give root but not complete permanent root ( incredible 2 is in the second group i believe ) , go to thier website for more . still you can install do all rooted things
as for Roms , if you are using CDMA there is plenty of excellent Roms Sense 3.5 . if you want GSM very few Roms for that and the maximum is Sense 3 for a stable bug less GSM Rom
the phone is nice , and battery is Very good in my opinion
Got mine at Costco for $30.
Might be a good time to check eBay/CL for a used one...

I say go for it. Rooting was fairly straightforward and I have never used adb before that. I love it so far though. It gets way better battery life than the thunderbolt and has cynanogen mod as well as really good sense roms. Also the dev have a pretty decent ICS beta out so if you want that it probably it will be stable I a bit. Enjoy

the only other possibilities for the EVO 4G would be the EVO 3D or the EVO shift which has a slide out keyboard and stock sense 2.1 which is for landscape mode when the keyboard slides out
BTW, love your inverted Gapps for the SGS3, use them all the time. thanks for fixing the mail.apk!!!

Is the message you're referring to on the computer screen, or the phone?
If the computer, you should try a different browser. If the phone, you use the volume buttons to choose the option, and the power button to confirm.
On the pc and I feel like an idiot for not trying a different browser lol

If it were to get KK, it would be in an unofficial capacity and would not be fully-functional, since neither WiMax or the FFC would have working drivers.

That's pretty much what I meant by my first post. Any update to KK won't be "official", but someone may still develop a KK ROM for it

I would dare say the EVO is legendary in its own right. It was the first 4G phone on Sprint, and was pretty revolutionary for its time and the first EVO in a line of good handsets to carry that name. The phone had a ton of development for it, and it still has support to this day. The biggest problem is the lack of driver support for both WiMax and the FFC, as I've already mentioned.

I am purchasing a new LCD and digitizer for my evo 4G (supersonic) since the screen got destroyed right before I bought my Evo 4G LTE (jewel). I wanted to see if there were any plans for a kitkat ROM for the evo 4G because I recently installed android 4.4.2 on my roomate's kindle fire and it runs amazing! I heard Google was trying to make kitkat run better on older devices. I think 4.4.2 could be great for the Evo 4G. I have high hopes that when I fix this phone someday there might be a 4.4.2 ROM available. I miss this device and the community that came along with it. Can't wait to get back into playing with this device again haha.

Biggest thing holding back kk is lack of a recovery that can properly flash it. I know of one guy who has already built kk but can't get recovery working.

At any rate, I'm willing to test such a ROM and recovery if they're ever created. I've got an inactive EVO that I've recently been feeling the itch to ROM.

I am STILL rocking a Evo 4g but running 4.1.2 Rom (for the Google NOW experience) and love it. Just got a second one and playing around with some Sense Roms that will have everything working. Some (Jellybread 1.4 for example) are very well designed with a Holo look and feel.
I don't see why it should be too hard to 'skin' a Sense theme to bring you Kit Kat goodness!!!

Is there any new updates on the CM 11 kitkat Rom unofficial? I've been itching to try this out and see the improvement on the OG EVO. I really want to see if kitkat can really run smooth on a low spec device. I've had a few JB ROMs that ran decently smooth.. with over clock at least.
I was trying to build a recovery with SELinux enabled for this, but it was too large. I read that I could probably change the compression to make the kernel smaller, but never got around to doing it, as my newer devices took precedence. I don't even remember where I left off with it, to be honest .

If you do end up looking into it and need testers, I just successfully replaced the LCD and Digitizer on my OG Evo. It is ready to flash whatever I throw at it
