I finally got an hdmi cable so I could use my old Evo as a Netflix and gaming device. I flashed CM7 and the SavageZen kernel and I'm having a problem where once I start mirroring over hdmi the WiFi goes to hell and can't maintain a connection which makes Netflix totally unusable. Anyone else have trouble like this?
Now I'm trying Decks 1.3 with the kernel it comes with and it does the same thing. Does this happen to everyone or do I have some sort of hardware problem? Arrrgh
Mason kernels work beautifully for me. Also set the cpu to max in the HDMwin app settings. It will only be set to max while you have it running in the back ground.
same problems even with the mason kernel. This is a total bummer.
Could be your TV or port. Try flashing a sense ROM with a mirroring kernel to see if it will work at all.
Way ahead of you. Just put a rooted copy of the latest OTA on the phone. The normal hdmi capabilities are working fine. I'm watching YouTube on the tv over WiFi now. I guess I'm just having software trouble with AOSP roms and kernels and my phone is really picky. Too bad I can't use Bluetooth gamepads with Sense roms....
Guess I just need to keep searching for a combo that works for me.

Use a Wiimote if you have one. There are a few apps for Wiimote bluetooth connectivity and you can have different saved setups for the buttons. Works well with sense roms as long as you're rooted.

I've never seen a wiimote work in Sense. That's the only reason I'm putting aosp on the Evo anyway. Do you have a wiimote and have made it work with Sense?
All the Wii emote apps say they don't work with the htc sense ui. That's because of htc's crippled Bluetooth stack. I'm not exactly new at this, I've been frustrated by it for years.
Unless you know something I don't know then I need to be on AOSP.
However, it is my understanding that the latest devices like the One X with sense 4.0 no longer have this problem, so lucky them!
Phew! I think I got it sorted finally. I went back to the official CM 7.1 rom and coupled with the mason kernel my WiFi isn't dropping out any more. Looks like rom choice was playing a huge role here.
For sense try bluezime but Rwiimote works for non sense.

Oh I know how to use a wiimote on non sense roms. I just use the "Wii controller" app.
I could swear I've tried bluezime on sense before and it didn't work. I'll give it another whirl on my evo 3d for kicks.

So out of curiosity I tried bluez IME again with the latest rooted stock rom. It still doesn't work even with the HID enabler. Just as I remembered.
However, much to my surprise it DOES work on my Evo V 4G running Sense. I think HTC finally unborked the bluetooth somewhat in the ICS Sense builds.

I'm having the same issue. Just rooted for the first time, but loving it so far. I'm running MikG 3.11 and Anthrax 2.6.38.6 #4 on my Evo 4G. HDMI mirroring works great, but not internet connection to use it with. Any idea if I should I change my kernel, or my rom? I'm new to this, but enjoying the learning process. Much thanks!

Try an AOSP rom with Mason kernel. Don't use the A-word kernel. Check all your settings and make sure everything will stay awake and keep screen set to always on. I use HDMI mirroring on a daily basis and have never ran into a wifi issue.

I've been lingering around here for a while without putting my voice out so hello. So Hello!
Anyway, I live in Philly and we have 4G but I rarely ever find the need for it. So I've been considering moving over to CM6 permanently. Why? Because CM6 has a good HID Bluetooth stack. I'm currently running Fresh Evo 3.1.0.2 with Netarchy's 4.0.3 Toastmod Kernel. The phone is running very smooth but I'm longing to play NES Games with a wiimote. (Ya, I know it's silly, but whatever!)
My question is, has anyone heard from flipz, or netarchy, or kings, etc about whether or not they plan on attempting to implement a uncrippled version of froyo with Sense and the true android bluetooth stack?
ah you havnt lurked enough!
the problem is with the bt stack AND sense. seems they dont work well together, something in sense causing conflicts, maybe a custom library (i dont know)?
either way its not that the devs DONT want to do it, they currently cant.
cm6 is cool, i like it and use it currently as my daily rom. however i havnt paired a controller with it. id rather play snes roms myself. some good old chrono tirgger and ff3 <3

Ya, that too. I just wanna play thru goonies II & metroid, then I'll start looking at SNES stuff.
So basically we need HTC to either fix the conflicting libs, or release source for Sense so the community can fix it themselves.

Wait a minute.....are you saying that with CM6, I may be able to pair my phone to a PS3? Or what if Sense is completely removed from my current Fresh rom and I use Launcher Pro.....will that allow the BT stack to be more compatible with other devices?
Just a shot in the dark, really.

Goonies II . . . classic.
"Ouch! What do you do?"
The wiimote is pretty cool. I have one of the retro gamepad bluetooth wii controllers and had it working great with CM6 with SNES, NES and Sega emulators.
I just started flashing but it seems with all these roms something is wrong. I really just like the roms for the speed. But everyone has cons like no front camera on Miui or no mms just random things. Does Cm6 have anything like cons?

Well as far a CM no 4g or hdmi. But I've used Cm, MIUI, Fresh, Myns, ect... found out I really like having sense based...for now. With sense based you can easily update pri's and prl's and access all the phone ## codes unlike an aosp rom . And you can still use 4g and hdmi and such, pretty much everything that comes included with stock but enhanced. If you havent tried Myn's, give it a shot, I think its pretty zippy also your kernel can play alot in the speed of your phone. Hope something in that mess of words helps.
Edit: also thought i'd add, I use Myn's Sense Based rom but use Launcher Pro Plus instead of stock rosie launcher. I find it much more customizable and better looking, imo.
Thanks a lot. Sorry im really new to all this but what's a kernal? Like in normal words what's it do? And do they take away hdmi 4g camera or anything?

As of now all sense roms (myns,fresh,mikfroyo, etc.) Have everything working. The camer,camcorder,4g,hdmi....everything works. They just remove bloatware and speed up there system. And most come with bonuses like usb tethering. Stick to those and youll have everything you want. And yes the kernels are what make everything work. Once aosp kernels support 4g,camera etc. then they can make it work in there aosp rom (cyan,miui). The best way to describe kernels is....the kernel is the motor in your car. Some are v8s that are fast but use more fuel(battery). Some are v6s right. Some kernels (motors) wont run well in your car(phone) some will work awesome...
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
Also, every phone is different. Not every Rom will act exactly the same, nor every kernel...you kinda hafta flash for yourself and see which works best. For me, mikfroyo is the fastest sense-based Rom I have used, for you Myn's or vaelpak or something else may work best, you'll just hafta flash and see.

Also depending on where you live and what you use your phone for plays a factor. I like MIUI or Cyanogen because of the awesome features AND I don't really have a need for 4g or HDMI.
I've recently used Myn's 2.2 and Fresh 3.5 for long periods of time. Both are EXTREMELY reliable and stable, and I think they would work fine with any phone. Like r.storm85 mentions, it comes down to a good kernel that will work well on your phone. All phones are different. For example, my phone somehow keeps rebooting with a "Fresh rom/KingKlick #10 and up kernel" combo.
So find something that works for you. Also remember, it takes a few days for your phone, rom, and kernel to start working together, so don't give up on something only after a few hours.

Think of the kernel as the heart of the operating system. It's the base of the OS that everything else is built off of. Modified kernels offer many different options. Some allow you to underclock to conserve battery life, others allow you to overclock to squeeze even more power out of that snapdragon processor, and some others allow you to change and modify options that were unalterable or hidden in the stock kernel (like cyanogen allowing you to force your phone to roam only).
Just as with anything there are pro's and cons to all the different mods. Just do a lot of reading (sounds like you already have a good start) and testing with the different kernels and roms out there. Some combos work great together, some just don't play well with one another at all. Eventually you will find one that suits you, and tinkering is what makes the android platform so amazing. Have fun, flash safe, and always always make good nandroid backups.

What?
OK, I've successfully rooted my beloved EVO... Now, it's time to consider a new, stable, BATTERY-EFFICIENT Gingerbread ROM; one that has WiMax, Camera (both), and Location Services running, along with basic 3G of course...
I like Sense, but I can live without it so that's not an impediment.
If you're asking why Gingerbread, well, I'd like to be cutting edge , with support for millions of colors (as I understand the Novatec screen on my 0003 Evo can handle it), and with some of the security vulnerabilities of pre 2.2.2 Android patched up.
The main things are:
1. Stability
2. WiMax and improved 3G (if possible)
3. Battery life improvements
4. Theming ability
I'm, frankly, bewildered by the options, so I'd like real-life experience and suggestions so I can narrow down my options.
Assists are appreciated...
Try cm7 it's the most stable fastest gingerbread rom
Sent from cm7 jealous!!!!!!Mines COOLER
I don't think there are any 2.3 sense roms yet. From what I understand, the only gingerbread rom that supports wimax at all is CM7 nightlies and even that is a little spotty. I think you're just going to have to wait a bit longer for all that in one rom.
I'm leaning towards CM7...
There are no Sense ROMS that are based on 2.3? It's not a big deal, but I was hoping there were, and I missed it (to add more competition).
CM7 is great, definitely worth a shot
Nope no sense based gb roms yet. Your best bets are CM7 newest nightly or, if you're willing to venture away from xda, Ultimate Droid.
CM7, no questions asked. If you want an alternative, Salvage mod has MOAR GEEZ as well, but no personal experience with it.
Get launcher pro plus. It has the good "sense-like" widgets.

Seems like CM7 is where I might start.
Is there any particular nightly of CM7 that I should DL?
11 and 12 are a little buggy but work great for me on android 2.3.3. Anything after 6 is wimax and 2.3.2 before 6 is no wimax. Try 12 and try both savage Zen and tiamat kernels in it. both are great.

Hey guys
I've been really happy with the performance of the HTC desire and had no real thoughts about rooting it and upgrading the ROM untill I realized that it was possible to connect a Wii Remote and play games on the phone. However, this does not work on stock Desires, apparently due to a bug in HTC's software.
So since I have a long plane ride to look forward to, I really want to get this gaming solution going, since playing emulators on a touchscreen is borderline masochistic. What I need to know is what is the latest ROM that has not been touched by sense and will work for sure with the Wii Remote
Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Any AOSP (non sense) rom should allow Wii-remote connection using the 'WiimoteController' app from the market. I've personally used Cyanogen, Oxygen and a few other non-sense roms, all worked.
Hmm so its sense that causes the problem?

Yeah, the Bluetooth drivers that come with Sense do not allow you to pair a Wiimote, I remember Dev's complaining to HTC about it.
A few weeks ago, I bought a used EVO off ebay and it came in good condition but had the 2.3.3 ota update and was locked out till Revolutionary came along and allowed me to s-off and get SU access. This was all done with the intention of trying a few other custom roms with Sense 2.x, 3.x and AOSP. After having tried, played with used and read about various roms on XDA for the EVO, are there ANY roms that work as well or better then the stock rom????
To me is seems more like what are u willing to deal with or live without ranging from HDMI, GPS, 4G, Camera issues. I've used 2 roms that can even keep a folder I created on my main screen with a few apps in that folder from removing those apps when I reboot or shut down my phone. Is there and AOSP rom that has more then 5 home screens, wereas the sense roms have 7.
I love the newer mail app that will display all your accts on 1 screen, I have yet to find any ROM with sense 3.0 that can or will display all the google calendars that I have access to view. The carosel of the home screens is the best part of the custom ROMS.
While I truely do appreciate the awesome and very hard work that the developers do to make theses roms to add functionality to our EVO's why would you put something our that isn't ready for daily use??
Are their any Custom ROMs that have ALL the pieces working???
I get where you're coming from, because i cant keep a ROM knowing that something isnt working properly, plus i dont like getting all fancy with the ROMs i like em simple and the sense feel.
