I have an evo 4g 1st gen and it is rooted with mokee os rom and I do not like this rom. it sucks the batteries life and I have been having problems with some apps.

You're downloading the ROM itself. You will also need to download the Gapps (Google apps), which are located on the same page as the ROM download link. Wipe, flash the ROM in recovery, then flash the Gapps and reboot.
I suggest reading the info in the link below, also.

You should be able to Google Rom manager 2.5.0.1. They transfer it over to if SD card and name it P36IMG.ZIP and reboot holding volume down button and it should read it. Make sure the file is in the root directory of the SD card.

what exactly are you stating:
1.) you used a random backup on your SD card? If so do you know what the backup consisted of, was it a backup of your current rom?
2.) You had rom manager 3.0 installed when u restored the backup? What version of Rom Manger do you have installed now? and now your stating the Rom Mananger wont flash anything?
3.) Maybe someone else can help but what does gapps have to do with you downloading from the Market if you have CM6 installed?
4.) Did you backup any of your apps before restoring, if so you can use any file browser and reinstall Rom Manager v3.0
I hope im helping in some way just want to clerify what you saying

[Q] HELP - tried to update, now not rooted, all sorts of other problems

Hello,
I am having some serious issues with my Evo. For several weeks now my Gmail accounts have not been syncing at all, incredibly frustrating, to say the least. I was hoping that the Gingerbread update would take care of this, so I followed all the instructions I could find, downloaded the de-odexed zip update, booted into recovery, wiped davlik, then installed that zip, and it seems to have updated (I'm running 2.3.3 now, that's the updated version, right?). However, not only has that not solved my syncing issue, but now when I went into Titanium Backup, it said that it could not establish root access! Also, when I go into ROM Manager and try to "Manage and Restore Backups," nothing comes up, when I know there are 3 backups on there (I was trying to delete one of them to free up space on my SD card).
Maybe related are the terrible space issues I've been having. It's also for some time now been telling me that I'm running low on space, but I have moved virtually all of the big programs to the SD card and deleted things I do not use, so I really don't understand how it's having such space issues.
Anyway, I really need some help here. I guess the number one most important thing I need to figure out is why I am no longer rooted. Can I just reroot like I did in the first place? But I'm also very bothered by this syncing problem, and the space issue is not far behind.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I do have SuperUser, but have used it very little - what can I do with it/what will it tell me?? Not sure what HBoot version I have - where do I find that?
I don't have Amon RA, I do have ClockWorkMod, although I'm a little confused - what is ROM Manager? I'm not sure if ClockWorkMod still works - how can I tell?
Sorry, I'm obviously fairly a novice at this. Thanks much for your quick reply, and thanks in advance for your help.
Superuser is the app that gives you root permission
and rom manager is an app for beginners that will allow people to download roms and making backups doesnt do nothing
OK im going to help you now but your going to have to flash a new rom and everything ok tell me when your ready
Ah, OK. Fantastic, thanks so much!!! I am ready anytime...

[Q] Kernel question

1st Post. Awesome place!
This is my story:
Love my EVO but was getting low in memory and learned that the only way to get rid of the crap was rooting the phone, so I did that. Got rid of the crap thur TB but still that was not good enough.
Read here how to partition my SD card and did it and noticed that the card was partitioned but my memory was still low. Then I realized that the stock app2sd does not work that way so I downloaded darktremors app to realize that DT does not work with stock ROMs, crap!
I gathered enough courage to flash my first ROM so I can take advantage of my partitioned card and started reading info about that.
I'm inclined to flash CM7 Latest Nightly 30MAR since it looks like is pretty steady since I'm not going to flash ROMs every week. Also, I read that the stock kernel works with that ROM. Here's my question: I will do a complete wipe to flash the new ROM but if I do that, am I wiping the kernel?
Please be gentle with this newbie

Yes, when you wipe, it will also wipe the kernel. There's the kernel that will come with the rom. Or you can flash another aosp kernel. Just remember to do nandroid first.

Thanks you! Where I can find a working kernel that works with the ROM I mentioned above? Sorry to ask but this is all new to me and there's many choices and opinions!
Thanks again
Sent from my AWESOME EVO using XDA
With CM7? I'm a big advocate of the Tiamat kernels (namely 3.3.7 - and I use the SBC version) as it as always treated my device the best when running AOSP ROMs.
And should you flash the ROM, go through the setup, flash a different kernel and things don't seem right, you can always flash the ROM again (wiping cache and dalvik cache) and it'll just replace the kernel. But that's also why you make a nandroid, in case something more serious arises.

If you don't like that then check out the link at the bottom for step by step on how to get a great aosp setup going. Low memory means that you have too many apps right? I've found that you don't need to partition your SD. You can just use the stock move app to SD option in cm7.
You may however be talking about low ram in which case your apps are staying open and using up ram.
Doing my setup will get rid of that and make your phone very speedy and efficient.

Thanks Crossrocker! The truth is that I don't have many apps installed but seems like that bunch of apps only works in the internal memory so I can't move them to the sd card in my stock ROM.
I will check the link and let you know. Also, I have read post from you before and always have been very informative, that's why I have the cojones to flash my first ROM.
Thanks!

Can you give a little more information about your situation please? Did you update from an earlier version recently? Did you flash the full ROM over another ROM? Did you make sure to wipe the phone before flashing?
The more we know can possibly help lead to a quicker resolution.
dont really know to much about this stuff im a newbie by i follow directions to the T.. I installed to sd card rebooted in custom recovery and did a calks wipe and installed... Also i made sure it was on a gb rom before anything... 3.2.6 to be exact.. So did i do something wrong or am i missing something...? Open to any opinions... I really wanna learn how to navigate through these processes..

You don't have to be on a GB ROM to flash it, just need GB recovery or one of the format files (Calkulin or Rujelus) to flash for wipe before installing the ROM.
Did you have custom recovery installed?
Did you make sure to grab the full ROM and not just the update?
Did you download directly to your phone or to the computer? If you downloaded to phone then I'd suggest download again but to the computer and then copy to your sd card. Don't re-use the download you already tried to flash, it may have been borked in the downloading process.
(also, GB is 2.3.6, Honeycomb is 3.x)

I would make a backup with CWM and then do a full clean install and see if that helps. If it doesn't help you can always revert back to your backup.

I have experience some of the same issues on 2 different E4GT. I like the the rom but random boots force me back to stock. The most recent phone does not have the EMMC bug in it so I triedd a complete wipe, but the rom would work great for about a day then have random reboots again and sometime blank screens.

NEED HELP!!!

so i am running Galaxy Mod rom on my phone, and loved since the day i flashed it. but since i flashed it ive noticed certain things that turn me off to it. (SORRY to the maker). so im looking to put another rom on my phone, BUT!, no matter what computer i connect to cannot get another rom onto my phone, it says it can be put on there, that the device is malfunctioning. i tried a different data cable, a different computer, and putting it on my sc card, it wont reconize or even see the sd. i downloaded straight from the site, cannot find the rom in recovery. i looked in every file and fold on my phone, im thinking the rom is locking me out, it is having its issues as well, the time dissaprears, the status bar force closes, freezes, contacts freeze up and force close, phone calls are dropped.
i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Sounds like you got a really bad flash. You are in luck that it at least boots because you can at least
If all else fails I suggest you try ODIN flash stock rooted. Have you tried to get into download mode ? can you get into recovery ? I didn't see if you mentioned that.
Look for the stock rooted ROM in the root with out tripping the flash counter thread

did you try reinstalling the samsung drivers onto your pc? is your sd card readable in other devices or your pc? and i'm assuming you've tried mounting the sd card in settings/storage?
If you have a bad flash maybe you can go into goomanager or the xda app and download a new rom directly to your phone and flash it. Maybe that will help.

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

i feel like my phone is falling apart. i cannot get a rom on there, i cant get it to reconize the external sd card, ive redownloed and installed the driver for my phone. nothing is working, and the problems its having are happening more frequent. never had this problem with any other flash
any recommendations?

Would it be a good idea to format internal memory? And I just now tried to select mount sd card, it wont let me select it

Well. I thought I was in luck, my wife has a s3 with kailisjr's wicked sensations rom. I grabbed her version, being the same phone, moved it to her ext sd, pit the sd into my phone, went to my file browser, moved it to my internal, went into recovery which is the latest team win. It saw it. I was soo happy. I wiped all neccessary things, went to flash wicked rom, failed to load, that's the only error. My wife's phone is the same as mine but blue. Now, stuck on samsung screen. In the midst of excitement that recovery saw the rom, I didn't make a back up
To answer the other post. I only used Odin a few times, and not really familiar with where and what to download. I am pretty good about flashing just with recovery. I can get into both down load and recovery. Just won't boot up now because of well...no rom. I did not try and mount the ext sd I thought that it would auto sense it. Will try that now.

it sounds like you didn't wipe cache, dalvik. go back in recovery and wipe them
and also flashing new rom might take some time for it to load, so be patient

Ok so I went into recovery, it won't see the ext sd, I go to just try and factory wipe, cache and dalvik, it hangs in the cache wipe saying the path to the partition cannot be found.
And now the same for dalvik
Time for Odin it seems. Go to the "root with out triping flash counter" thread. Download odin 3.07 and the at&t stock 4.1.1 with root injected. Place in download mode. Makes sure its detected and flash it in the pda spot.
You could do a full wipe and erase data as well and see if it lets you flash a ROM then. Another possibility

so let me get this straight
you flashed galaxy mod,
it wouldn't let you read ext sd card correct? (if so you needed to format it, it seems like it is running off AOSP and aosp doesn't support exfat on ext sd)
and now you're trying to flash wicked rom, but it wouldn't let you install?
if so it is either bad file or outdated recovery.
and if you're stuck on samsung screen, if wipe dalvik and cache partition + factory reset don't work
Odin back to Stock Rom
and start root, flash rom again

Well. I'm going to give Odin a shot then, well report back right afterword.
I hate having to mention Odin back to stock but sometimes a clean slate is best.

it's also depend on whether it's modified from TW and AOSP features or AOSP and add TW features
depend on one another, the rom might or might not support the format of the external sd
