Go check it out. I haven't played with it yet, so I don't really know anything about it. But give a shout to QBKING77 for posting a video on how to flash it and giving the info about the ROM.
:O we've been had!
Whatcha mean?
Edit....
Okay, so I've been toying with this ROM for a little while. It works with the 1.2/1.3 OC Kernel so that's a plus, it's got a blue theme, which is also kinda cool. Has an ACS footprint and boot screen until you load the kernel, then that goes away. Runs pretty smooth, seems to be decent.
Pros: Good smooth ROM, Nice blue color, supports OC kernels, comes with wifi tether and spare parts+ and superuser su update fix included.
Cons: Too much sprint bloatware, ran faster benchmarks on homebase, still on 154, doesn't include numbers in battery life bar.
Just my two cents, but you guys should try it out for yourselves and see whatcha think. While the cons are small, they do matter to me, thus my choice to head back to Home Base.

yeah too bad the battery life bar doesnt have the percentage and no 4g on unlocked bootloader.
i get 12-15 mbps on 4g in philly and brooklyn ny, i would hate to lose it so until then ill play the patience game and wait it out!
Yeah, the lack of 4G kills it for some people. I'm in San Diego (No 4G) or Offshore (Where I'm lucky if I get any cell signal depending how far out I am) so it was a no brainer for me.
yeah that sucks to be paying for 4g and not have 4g service -.- it almost makes sprint not worth it compared to other companies that have 4g in your area.
Yeah. But I like their service. Unlimited data. And actually have fair coverage offshore.

i do too, i didn't understand when people complained about their call quality as it is superb in the areas where i go, but maybe because they are in different areas so i cant say anything about that.
i was with tmobile before and it was very ughhh, i would be in my room and i had to shift around to get signal, then switched to verizon which was great service but the prices were sky high for so little perks. then i finally switched to sprint it was great ;D
my first smart phone was from sprint too, i believe it was the motorola q9c, then the palm treo 800w, then touch pro then touch pro2, then samsung epic and now finally the motorola photon ;D
I flashed this ROM and now i get an error when trying to dl apps from the market. "... Could not be downloaded due to an error". I looked online and found the market fix where you clear cashe and data, that didn't work. i also deleted the market update. i really dont want to have to reflash everything. can any one help me out or point me in the right direction?

Forgive me if this topic has already been covered. Simple question though. As root is apparently around the corner, what do you miss that you can't currently do on your 3vo?
For me one of the things is using multi mount sdcard. I use my phone for music in my car and just plugging the usb in is more convenient than having to hit usb storage. Slightly lazy? Yes. But what's technology for? Lol
So what about you guys?

I would always flash my evo all the time. I think the one good thing about root is we can work out the bugs on our own instead of waiting for a release. (evo 4g battery life for example).
Other then that just wireless tethering was handy about once or twice a month. This phone is pretty solid to begin with so I'm not too concerned unless something crazy is released.
That's so true. I love this phone lol. I feel that there are only a few things people could need root for so I'm tying to find new uses that I've never used

i agree, as much as i enjoy having root and flashing roms, im actually quite happy with the phone as is for right now.
The biggest thing I miss is Titanium backup. I liked being able to backup and restore app data. The ad-free app was nice too. I like Sense 3.0 and it's so fast and smooth that it makes me not miss rom flashing...yet.
The only thing I miss is that you can use the volume rocker to skip music tracks while the screen is off. That's it!

No more bloat. Really the biggest reason I root is to get rid of all the stuff i don't want on my phone. That and usually better battery life because of the more efficient kernals.
Remove bloat (although not as big now that you can uninstall several apps) and wireless tether.
AOSP and that's it. Lol.
I want CM7 on this phone so bad!
Only Rom I ever really used on regular Evo.

Same here. Really missing wireless tether. Back to using PDAnet for now but it's a hassle to move between two laptops.
Also annoying that I can't remove useless apps like Amazon MP3.
Everything else I can live with.
First and formost for me is Wireless Tether
After that, titanium backup, and getting rid of a bit of bloatware. I'm digging sense, but, would like CM also.

Am I the only one? I mean...I've been on Android for the past 2 years. Since the HTC Hero came out. I've went thru the Hero...the Moment...the Evo...the Evo Shift...the Epic...the Nexus S...and now the 3D. All of these phones I have rooted, modded, customized and ran thru the ringer except for the 3D.
I just dont have a desire to do it anymore. When I was rooting...I was doing something different to my phone every other day. Flashing a different ROM...flashing a different mod...changing something....constant wipes...ect. My purpose for rooting all the previous devices was to make them bigger, better and faster. I dont have that desire with my 3D. It honestly works wonderfully and its as fast as I could possibly want. I dont use Wireless tether and when I do its when I travel in which I dont have a problem paying the few bucks for the service as I need it.
So is it just me? Is root that popular to the majority? I'd assume yes on XDA but I wanted to ask.
Completely unrelated...I'm completely EXCITED because I found a sleek black gel cover for my 3D that will still fit in my leather holster. Complete protection and convienence...NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!
Allow me to be the first to say: cool story bro.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I still had the desire to root, but I'm losing the need to flash. The 3d in stock form is great just the way it is.
I can definitely see your position. After a while the phones start coming with the features you want and its needed less to mod it because the feature is now built in.
I get that... I personally haven't hit that point and i know many others haven't either. But, I get it.
But, with the way some companies are doing business its still required by some of us. (Like requiring your phone to be a specific chipset, even though your phones chipset could easily handle the app.)
Are We Not Phones?
We are EVO.
ARE WE NOT PHONES?!
3DEVO!
I refuse to have an unrooted phone because I love creating my own personal themes. I try to change the look of all, or most of, my apps. I always change the font. I hate the bloat put onto our phones. I need to have a personal splash screen, boot animations, and my own sounds. I have to have my apps backed up w/ data in case some unforseen incident occurs that destroys my phone. I need wifi tether, or hotspot. Now, roms are what I don't really need, but I always find something that I want, so I start flashing.
They why are you here?
E3D
The time this consumes is almost reason enough to not root your phone
If it wasnt for themes and CM7 I dont think I would root the 3D either...
Hurry CM7!!!!
Okay, now to answer your question:
I am only rooted for CM7 and to try MIUI on capable hardware... Oh yeah and HAVS/UV kernels... And for tethering that I rarely used. Otherwise I do agree with you, for the most part.

I keep reading that you guys root for tethering, I thought that the 3d came with a mobile hotspot and that you can tether away free of charge since data is unlimited

Simple answer. Nope. We're still asked to pay for tethering even with Unlimited Data Plans.

I root to remove bloatware. If I don't want an app I shouldn't be forced into it because of its popularity. If I want it I will add it, there's a market for a reason
Sure the stock evo is great but I always like a little more customizations. With root you can save battery, get wifi tether and USB tether, and pretty much do anything you so desire...
I dont flash a rom everyday or even every week. I find a good ROM I really like (currently VIPER) and then I only really flash when they come out with big updates for that ROM.
You don't have to be a flashaholic. There are a lot of good things that can come from rooting: No more Bloatware, better battery life, quicker updates. I love stock sense but enjoy having small modifications like a circle mod for the battery and CRT.
I did enjoy having CM7 with my hero prior to this phone. Some of that might just be that the Hero was so slow and CM7 made the phone ok.
Each to their own but rooting has a lot more going for it then not going for it.

When Sense 4.0 comes out for the new phones and not the EVO 3D you will want to root, because it will get ported. No Sense 4.0 doesn't exists yet but it will someday unless Apple patents it first.

It was good when it was locked, now that it is unlocked it is turning into a behemoth. Just wait until you see a polished CM7 rom on this thing.
it was never bad, otherwise this forum would be desolate.
If you are willing to unlock and flash custom ROM, its a beast.
If you have to live with the stock firmware, there's probably better options out there, unless you really hate 4.3 form factor.
put it to you this way the locked bootloader was why alot of people didnt care for it but the bootloader can be unlocked now and the custom rom train is going to pick up steam, as some one else said cm7 for one thing
It's better than the Inspire that I owned.
Don't listen to what they say in the Inspire forums. The Inspire isn't the best AT&T has and the Atrix is a lot better than what people think. It's a very nice phone.
Not trying to put the Inspire down at all--I just know because I've owned both of them. The Atrix beats it and the Nexus S that I have...

Honestly, it was never bad. As a stock device that was incapable of installing kernels, it was good. I still found myself using my Captivate while the bootloader was locked. Now that there's ROMs and kernels available, I haven't touched my Cappy at all.
wow! I wasn't expecting that many responses so fast!
I want to root the phone, play ff7 (of course) and ENJOY the phone.
I put a custom rom on my inspire so I don't see why I wouldn't put a custom rom on the atrix...
Trying to get the inspire back to "out of the box" state so I can return it.
The only issue I have with the inspire is running fpse and ff7. little laggy at times. hoping the dual core will remedy the issue.
hell, it's the same price and you get more internal memory, hdmi cable, and a better CPU..

The screen definitely isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Coming from an EVO 4G, the screen is definitely an improvement.
Although some would argue the Epic Touch 4G screen is superior, and it is in some ways, the over saturated colors on it are more off-putting to me than the Photon's.
i dont mind/care about pentile so thats a non-issue.. however i miss the bright vibrant colors of a samoled.. its one of the reason why the razr is possibly my fav phone on the market
p.s. to anyone who thinks we have nothing going on.. go check them out.. they dont have a stock sbf, no unlock, no roms, no kernels, no cwm, no way to restore back to anything.... oh and they have a leaked ota that has now locked a lot of people onto it which means without a way to write crap they CANNOT get future otas....
lol imagine you were so eager for the first bug fix ota that due to rushing/leaks it prevented you from being able to get the ics ota

I personally like the Pentile - accurate colors, bright and good outdoors. I've tried really hard, but my eyes just do not see the screen door effect on (at least) my particular device.
And - I was very prepared to hate it when I first walked in the store, after reading reviews
The Sammy screens get lots of mention because they have overly-saturated colors (similar to the effect you get when you turn a digital camera to its "Vivid" setting). And lots of people like artifical over-saturation..... As an amateur photog, I prefer accurate color rendition.

Exactly! Ive even read some reviews saying its slightly better than the amoled screen and i got a widget that would actually turn the brightness all the way down (cause stock doesnt as joker mentioned) and i can still see it perfectly with the sunlight facing it! I like the pentile screen all around, on hd games/movies it performs flawlessly. As you said, almost perfect colors.
