Hey man! Welcome to Evo world and congratulations.
It looks like you know what rooting is so I won't go into that. Everyone gets something different out of rooting their Evos--some get headaches. I got a faster phone, better battery life and the option to try a bunch of ROMs and learning a little about kernel mods--all good stuff. Some ROMs stick with Sense UI, some leave it completely and use AOSP, that will depend on your taste.
This page gives a great rundown of almost everything you need to root, ROM an kernel mod your new Evo. Definately go through the stickies though, that's really good advice and when you try a ROM, make sure you read the OP's ROM anouncement carefully.
Remember that you when you root your phone, you're on your own--seriously. No tech support, no calling the carrier so make sure that this is really what you want to do.
I'm using Calkulin's EViO ROM and the camera works perfectly. You'll have to read the ROM's threads to find out what the ROM's shortcomings and benefits are. I used CyanogenMod 6 and the camera's not so good in that one but they know that.

Stickies are specific posts that the community voted to be "stuck" at the top of a forum because so many forum members found the info inside that particular thread very helpful. Stickies will not move out of sight, even when noone replies to them for long time b/c they are "Stuck" at the top by an Admin./Mod..

Your camera should not be affected by rooting. But you know what you might want to try before you dive into rooting? Go on the market and install some home launcher replacements like ADW or Launcher Pro, these two are the most popular but there are others. ADW has some some themes on the market, some are a buck and others free. Try these first and see if you like the way they change the look of your phone. There's tons of stuff you can do to change the look of the phone without rooting. Mess with those while you're reading about rooting.
There are ROMs that keep the factory look intact. You're going to have to explore those on your own and see which one retained the stock look because I wanted to remove Sense and yeah, it takes a ROM to do that. Myn's Warm twopointtwo I think is an improvement on Sense.

No offense dude, but do you do ANY research at all before asking these questions? Every single question you have asked has already been answered to death in these Forums. Do research, read the Stickies, use the Search feature. If you can't find the answers to your question, THEN ask.
Be a noobie, just don't be a lazy noobie.

So apparently you feel that there is no need for YOU to do any research before asking a question that has been asked (and answered) 1000 times before in this forum? Your recommendation to anyone who suggests you do research is to go jerk off?
P.S. You'll notice no one is taking the time to explain anything to you, right?

What's an "HD ROM" that switches hole (whole?) themes? Do you mean a Home Switcher? Where did you see it?
Why would you want to OverVolt?
it might be a bit rhetorical but...
why are you asking that question then?
because if the reason is good, then i may want to overvolt. i dont have the knowledge currently to understand . so this might be rhetorical, but " why are you a Mod and an asshole to someone seeking knowledge?"
simply because your question was not properly formed, instead it was stating the obvious
it'd have made more sense asking "when should you overvolt?" or "what do you gain by overvolting?"
you ask the proper question you'll get the proper answer, you ask crappy question you'll get crappy answer, as simple as that
O.k. ill play. I know you know the answer too so please don't disappeared now that I'm being g compliant with your request.
What would I gain by overvolting? I'm currently running Faux 007 kernel. I understand that undervolting should theoretically increase battery life, although I have been unable to see any difference in my tests. Would overvolting improve anything? Couldn't I harm something by overvolting? Any knowledge about this subject would be most helpful. Thank you

What is your thought to overvolting? I understand wondering what you might gain from it, but what made you thought of overvolting in the first place?

Completely unnecessary dude. You knew what he was asking. That attitude is exactly whats wrong with this forum. To answer your question OP, overvolting is mostly used for when trying to overclock to a high level. At least thats the way it was explained in a kernel thread in the vibrant forum.
Thanks Bro.....I don't know too much and read this forum daily trying to learn. Then a mod makes me feel Like a douche . But again thanks for your answer

no i don't, not until he clarified what he was really after
that's why i did said it was rhetorical
as the original question pretty much stated the obvious Why would you want to OverVolt? as in Overvolting, that's a big no no, it's common sense, under normal circumstances or default of any electronic devices, that will cause harm.
however if you do ignore the fact of such action will eventually kill the device, but you still opt to go for it, then the only logical reason is to gain more power, which is usually associated with OverClocking, some OC steps can not be archived without adding more power, that's where the extra push of the voltage comes into play

so in a sense OverVolting is only required under specific circumstances which are directly disproportional to the health of your device, but will grand you crazy speed & power in exchange for a shortened life span
His question was pretty clear. Ive read your responses on other posts, and your an intelligent person. Not sure why you wanted to respond in the manner in which you did. Just own up that you were being a jerk and lets all move on.
I'm thankful for the information either way. The thing that shocks me the most is that guy is a mod!!! That's a joke. Seriously to act like that and to be the one who judges others is why this site is under fire. I'm a noob , I don't know much about android but I do know attitude and a jackass when I see it.
Hi all, sorry if this is an old question, but what are the chances of the G4 on AT&T being rooted eventually? I'm really interested in this phone and I may get it tonight, but I'd really like to know if there will be root availability in the future. Thanks so much for any responses! This looks like a great step up from my Galaxy S4!
dude, sit tight, wait - asking like a week after the phones been released is just ignorant

I wouldn't say it's ignorant at all. I'm just wondering if there's any hope at all compared to something like the Galaxy S6.
its pretty ignorant IMHO....definition of ignorant: "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" - - -asking a question like "the chances of the g4 being rooted" - do you want a percentage that is completely estimated or would you like me to call LG and AT&T and ask them what are the chances of it being rooted? you could research dev and try to root it yourself ....
i would say theres a 55% chance being that the intl version has been unlocked and rooted....
FYI, people still ask about the chances of Galaxy Note 4 being rooted, its been since September....you just have to sit tight and be patient or research dev and do it yourself
Again, I wanted to know if it was possible or if it's hopeless like the GS6. Sorry for trying to make an informed decision, I guess that makes some others salty.
Thank you for your answer, though. That's all I was looking for initially.
If you read around you would already have your answer
There's a root method for the AT&T S6, so why say it's hopeless? Duh.

Don't worry about salty people. They don't understand simple social etiquette. They think that the internet allows them to be callused and heartless.
I would base there answer on how popular the phone is and the demand for root from the community. If those two things are high, the chances are good there will be a root method available. Doesn't promise that the method will be simple or in a timely manner but anything is possible with XDA. Or like the previous posts, if you're adventurous, you can try to do it yourself.

It's a valid criticism... Who asks why there aren't any Roms yet? It's an easy enough answer to figure out yourself... Because no one has made them. By all means, go and do it yourself if you are anxious.

Don't get pissy with others because you asked a dumb question and got called out on it.
I was correct in saying no one has built working Roms for the pixel. Having a custom recovery to test with is an important part of the release process. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

Hey Guys.
Was wondering if anyone would be willing to port a original Pixel Rom to our device?
I always liked the Nexus roms and the Pixel phones seem pretty similar to the OP3 so that might just make it possible?
Let me know if anyone is willing to try
Thanks!

Dude you need to chill down. We all make mistakes. OP is asking a simple questions and yet you are not helping in anyway.
@op - I don't think so but you can try Resurrection ROM or any other pure Android ROM and flash Google pixel mode which would give you a close look to pixel.
To answer the question, a true Nexus/Pixel ROM port is possible but extremely hard and time consuming and not always worth it.
Not trying to insult any devs but custom Roms not based on OOS are not worth it. There's always stability issues with certain apps and performance is very good but inconsistent (random lags here and there that are really annoying). Camera quality is not even close to OOS (unless you're on sultan's ROM but that's cm13).
You're best bet for this phone is Experience ROM or FreedomOS (based on OOS 4.0.2) and F2FS format for /data + Blu spark kernel. Best performance/battery life combo there is in all situations

And I'm just telling him not shouting at him it's just an advice
Well I told him to use pixel UI mod
And u think that's not answering
Hey thanks for the replies guys.
The Pixel Ui isn't the reason I want the port. My main issue with the current Roms out there is that 90% of them are based ok lineage OS which atm has way to many bugs / issues imo. I know some issues you can fix by flashing this zip and that zip and maybe another zip here. Not the biggest fan of that.
As for the OOS based ROMs: I am currently on one of them. Sadly i am also one of the people that has huge issues with WiFi / network stability.
I opened this thread cause I saw that the Samsung Galaxy s7 has a working Pixel rom Port and so does the nexus 5x. There are more phones that have working ports too and all of them are not as similar to the pixel phones as the OP3. That's why I was wondering why no one has ported it yet and if someone would be willing to try.
Thanks guys!
