hey XDA is anyone still on a contract with the evo 4g?
the section seems dead.
No contract for me I am a flashed phone user. The Og section is still very much alive and kicking with new roms and updates coming out on a regular basis. If you think this is you should look at some of the others. While the 3vo is my daily phone I still have service on my Og sort of. It is harder to test my builds on a phone with no service since you cant check the major things like voice/data/mms without it. Keep your eye out cause I am working on several source builds. Rootbox, baked 9, and sourcery for the Og.

Drama? That was the 3vo section. The Og was pretty drama free. You can only hope your next device is just as drama free.

Need to know your hboot info. If you don't know how to get it. Power down. Once off. Hold power and volume down buttons together. You should go into hboot. Read back all the info and we could help you from there.

Kinda funny you should say that, that's the same day my contract is up. I'm also probably going to the HTC One, but I might go to AT&T, we'll see what happens.
What I am going to miss the most is smelkus recovery, not gonna find a better and more reliable recovery...period.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
4ext recovery is a great one. Full touch and everything works every time. On the 3vo we have twrp (aroma will not work correctly), cwm (well its cwm what else to say), then 4ext which is the best for everything. So while you say you will miss smelkus you will find something just as good if not better. Don't get me wrong nothing is better for the Og but each device is different therefore each one has its "best" recovery.

I just got this like the other day and it seems to be lacking in support, when I heard about this phone I was excited to get it...But now it seems like it doesn't have that much development, with other phones coming out. The only this is the smaller screen and weaker cpu/gpu compared to newer phones...This thing comes w/ 512MB Ram/Rom if im not mistaken, just like N1. If this is Oc'able it might go to at least 7xxx. Dumfuq is notorious for his G1 OC kernels, lets see what he can do for the MTS now...

I really like the phone's design, it sticks out from the other phones I had. it might not be the best thing in the market but it's defiantly a major improvement from my G1. Even on stock this feels a lot faster than when I had it oc'd to 614MHz.

I agree totally. This is a wonderful improvement over the G1. Handles things better too. When I got a text when I was watching YouTube on the g1 I would have a blank screen for like 30secs cause I had SMS popup then I could reply but the video wouldn't play I would have to start over. Not with this little power house those issues are gone.

Check the dev section. Im trying to pull together a dev team to port a modded froyo to phones that havent had a mention of froyo, and the dinc, desire, and evo. If there is one dev left, the slide is saved, if not, i gotta pick up official support for the slide.
More info on the rom can be found on www.incredibleroms.com/jdkoreclipse. Dont download from the link there, as it is the driod incredible version.
I will not let this phone go without devs.

Imma try. Im on xda alot, so i have lots of time to get this going. If worst comes to worst, i will maintain the port. So, you are getting a de sensed froyo woth some cool mods. Its not vanilla, and not sense. I really like the slide, and will dev for it. I already dropped official support for the evo, but may need to pick that one up too.
No phone should be without devs

Friggin delays on jdfroyo. We are still worrking on it.
No phone left behind
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I think we have a few here. I mean Wes and Eugene are here but may have gotten the vibrant and there are a few other new guys here and there. But they have said they will still work on the slide. I think whats holding alot of folks back is the lack of ota to use and port plus this baby is locked pretty tight still even after root but that won't stop anybody. I mean we don't even have a custom kernel or hard spl and it will take much longer because of the security. And, yes, cyanogen is working on his froyo port still and is having road blocks which is holding up future stable additions. It's a great phone still and am happy with slidemr1 v4 rom with a2sd and perflock off and set at a constant 600mhz. JIT would be nice like in froyo, would help a bit but stability and lack of 100% fuction in a2sd ports makes it hard to use froyo daily (and due to fact I'm an app horder). But yeah, the HTC blaze/emerald (the one with the qwerty kb) l will be tempted if things are still this slow by the time late autumn/early winter rolls around.
That's exactly what I am thinking. It is locked up pretty tight and hopefully our ota update to froyo will be a game changer for it and we can move forward.
Sent from my MR1 V4 Remix 3G using XDA App
I can say, that lack of leaks and ota is holding us devs back. If there was a leak froyo, i would be able to build jdfroyo with no problem. Hopefully i will be able to port something i will make for the gsm hero.

Haha, jerk. But ok, she just really wants to root it. But yeah, i totally understand your point. She really wanted a temp root because she doesn't like all the bloat. But all y'all have is perm.. She isn't dumb, just new to everything. And I mean 100% new. She won't know how to fix anything. I've explained to her what backups and all that good stuff is. She knows what an RUU is. But if something does go wrong, it's only me. So, I will just tell her to wait a bit and see if a temp comes out.

lol my thoughts exactly.
To be honest though to the OP, if she would come on the forums she would be able to learn real easy with step by step instructions on each ROM she wants to flash.
although if she just wants ROOT then that is fine aswell, but to just have S-OFF isnt much until you install SuperUser and BusyBox. you also want to get Titanium Backup so you can get rid of the bloatware either by freezing it or uninstalling it
I'm not trying to be a jerk or one of those people who *****es and moans about stupid ****. I'm just wondering why we don't have an aosp kernel yet and why it just seems like development for this phone is lacking. I had an evo and it was so nice having so many options as far as roms and kernels and themes go. I just wonder if its ever going to happen? For this phone. And yes, I will be patient.

I think you'll be happy to know that Rootzwiki gave a CM dev an E4GT. Hopefully it won't be long!
So development is lacking because we haven't released what you want? Try making one yourself.. I have been trying to address current problems before moving on.. building an also kernel that continues to LoS is pretty pointless no? Maybe my development is lacking, but I have still released more actual improvements than most, and I don't even have the device..
By the way, EVO was a far more popular phone, and still took quite a while to get also running....

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 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.

Meaning it'll require a SE Linux enabled recovery, correct?

Yes sir. Hit that nail on the head.

How hard would that be to implement? Is it possible?

I have no idea, honestly. I wouldn't think it would be all that hard, but I don't know what's involved with it.

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 saw that the HTC HD2 which is basically the GSM version of this phone got a kitkat rom and I was wondering if this phone would get a kitkat 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 ever find it, I'm ready to test it.

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
