I want jelly bean. ROM recommendations? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is there any fully functional jelly bean ROMS for evo lte? if so, which ones do you guys recommend? this is my first time rooting ever, so, which backup software should i use? thanks!

There currently is no JB roms for us yet.

kushdeck is currently working on one right now as we speak. he actually has a ROM available in IRC, but it isnt quite ready yet.

Look for "Decks busted CM10" in the topic near the top of the screen. There will be a link there that will lead you to the download.

There are at least 3 jelly bean roms in the works, but none for a daily driver yet.

Bumping. Because! It has been almost two months since the last reply and I have heard there are some fairly stable Jelly Roms for the Evo LTE now. My question: What are they and how stable are they?

cm10 is very nice...multitask works perfectly...battery life is awesome
HTC EVO LTE

Cm10, paranoid and aokp are the only jb roms that I know of at the moment. All are pretty stable and lots of people are using them as daily drivers. There are still a few issues like phone force closing on boot, flaky mms and weak proximity sensor (there's a separate flash that fixes) but on the whole they are fully functional. Some have reported cell and gps signal issues but everyone's setup is different...YMMV, I suggest giving them all a shot to see which one you like best. Cm10 seems to be the favorite right now, but paranoid has some pretty cool display tweaks. If you're coming from sense and you're s-on with hboot 1.15 or later, make sure to read up on flashing the kernel separately with fastboot.

Im a completely NOOB when it comes to rooting because I have never done it before, so everything you said might as well be chinese, lol, but no worries, once I pick a ROM, I ll do extensive research on everything you just told me.
My main concern though: My wife's Galaxy SIII sends over track and album art info to our Prius Nav display perfectly. Also, the "reading SMS outloud" feature only works with her phone, and not mine. Will flashing to one of these ROMs add this functionality to my phone? I have heard that the main issue is the version of AVRCP bluetooth profile that HTC uses in sense and also the bluetooth stacks library that Sense uses. I had heard that CM fixed this, but im not sure. And what about the SMS reading thing? what determines that?

Read my guide. It has a lot of info

If you're new to the scene, definitely read om4's guide...it has lots of good info about rooting, flashing, etc. all in one place. Much easier than hours of searching for each topic individually...

Thanks guys! After doing some reading, I will post back on here with more questions.

I have been running paranoid for a while now and have tried going back to sense roms, but love the cm10 jb experience too much to ever go back to sense again. I highly recommend paranoid!

Ok guys so I have been reading on the thread you guys recommended, and i still havent pulled the trigger on rooting. I do have a few questions:
-One of the main things I noticed is, if I get CM10, I lose the awesome camera the EVO has. Im assuming if I get a rooted sense based ROM, I would still keep my awesome camera?
-One of the main reasons I am rooting is because I have heard CM10 has a better bluetooth stack built in, and as such it should work much better with my car, sending over track and album artist, as well as the ablity to browse music files via bluetooth through my nav screen. Or at the very least, I want to be able to get back the USB plug in functionality I used to have on the EVO 3D. When i plug in my Evo LTE in my car's USB, nothing happens. So, is there a ROM that allows me to keep the sense camera but also has the bluetooth/USB host capabilities I am looking for?
-When I root, does everything get wiped out and I have to reinstall all my apps, contacts, etc?

I'm on CM10 for the past month and am really liking it. Since I was also disappointed by the camera app I went ahead and tried the Jelly Bean 4.2 camera, and it works wonderfully. It's not 100% as awesome as HTCs, but it's enough for me. Look for the JB 4.2 apps - it's floating around somewhere.
As for BT - I don't think CM10 has APT-X, so audio quality would be lower on compatible devices. I think I notice a difference on my BT stereo headset, but it may be my imagination. Again - small price to pay for using CM10.

thanks for the reply, but I am not as concerned with audio quality as I am with my track/artist/playlist information showing up on my car's LCD Nav thing. Any ideas on what I can do to get that to happen? Does CM10 have this? And what is APT-X? What I was talking about is AVRCP. Stock sense does not have a high enough level (version) of AVRCP to do what I want. Somewhere on another thread I was told that CM does have this, but I have since been unable to confirm it.

Your probably better off waiting for the official jelly bean update from HTC which *should* be in the next month or so. It might be included in that. As far as cm10 goes, you have nothing to lose by trying it to see... Just back everything up before you root and then try it to find out.

Benefit of current ICS Rezound ROMS?

Hi guys I know we have a bunch of roms for the RZ based on the leaked ICS. I took a look and see that overall everyone seems to be happy w/ these ROMs. I'd just like to ask what kind of feature beneits from the "full ICS" have been implemented in these ROMS ie hardware acceleration, improved interface etc and regarding the stability of these ROMs?
I like the fact that Rosie is actually useful, for a change. You can put groups of icons where only one used to fit before. For instance, all of your various communication type apps can be grouped together (Mail, Gmail, Facebook, etc...). This gives your desktop lots more room instead of being cluttered with icons.
The interface seems a little less clunky, and just flows better.
I also enjoy being able to run tether in infrastructure mode, something GB has been unable to do for me. The grouping folders on the launch bar is great. I also noticed that the roms run extremely smooth. Sense also seems to have lost a bit of weight from GB.

Are you referring to the native folders that were added in ICS?
Another thing i noticed, when I connect my car charger, on ICS it's connected as "AC plugged" rather than "USB plugged". This charges my phone much faster and I can actually use GPS, Waze, Pandora, and Text/Browse (when stopped of course!) and my phone battery percentage is still going up!! =)

I havent seen this yet but this makes me very happy. I had taken a trip and used navigation a few times along with spotify and even with my car charger(a nice cheap universal one), I was still putting a drain on the battery.
Shouldn't hardware acceleration make a difference?
Good question.
I'm unlocked and rooted, but I haven't installed a rom because I really dont know what a rom is. I read about a few things that dont work and the blue flickering(which I get VERY rarely on stock GB) with the lastest ICS roms.
But how is an ICS rom different from getting ICS OTA? If everything worked in a ICS rom(or atleast everything I needed) is there a difference? or reason to want ICS OTA
With the current ICS roms does the following features work?
face unlock, new voice input engine, improve battery life
most app from the market work with ICS roms?
thanks
ICS
ICS is very stable in most of the ICS roms at this stage. I would reccomend either the rezrom or inneffablis roms, though the cleanrom series should not give you trouble unless you try to desense it. I have not noticed a significant difference in battery life, but like it says above there are a few specific improvements such as with charging via a car charger and overall performance is very good. Personally i really dig the look of and function of ICS , I don't use cleanrom because the last version i tried still used some sense gingerbread/sense apps.
If you need any assistance or have any questions id be happy to help ill be flashing some new roms tonight.
I beg to differ.i would say none of the ics roms are stable. And this is from user experience. There are numerous bugs and glitches. I'm in no way knocking any of the work the devs do. They are remarkable individual. Those builds need work before they can get the stable stamp of approval.

well man im using Clean rom ICS and im having great battery life and no problems so sorry but i say that its stable
Stable means they don't crash..and they don't. If a feature is broken that is a deal breaker for you it doesn't mean it isn't stable.

Maybe you should say "your" stable stamp of approval. I have used clean icse and now Joel's rom and both are very stable I have had zero issues with Joel's latest release.
It seems many people's issues are caused when they insist on restoring from titanium and I don't care what Rom or os version your run you are opening yourself up for trouble when you do that.
Another common issue seems to be when people install apps that are not upgraded for ics, and with any os this takes time.
By far the most common instability in these roms is chair to keyboard interface. That's right user error lol it astounds me the number of people that can't even be bothered to read simple instructions!
Take your time, back up and play around, if you take the time to do it right I'm sure you will love ics as much as those of us using it now. If you find it lacking, or your favorite app is not ready for prime time you can always go back.
One more thing this is my 4th android device and the devs that are slaying this device are awesome! Thanks to you all and if I haven't already bought you a round or two, its coming!

Face unlock and voice input work. Battery life varies like always but seems good. The apps I use work fine but there are some that don't. Read about some.folks having problems with launcher apps. I think at this point most of the ics features are there but remember its not either or, when the ota ics drops you can just switch to that or a rom with that as a base. There will be plenty!

Just wondering what app/method you're using for infrastructure tethering? I'm trying to tether my Rezound running stock ICS to my HP Touchpad running CM9 but the Touchpad doesn't work with adhoc.
But to join in on the discussion, I'm very happy with ICS on my Round. Very stable for me.
My response was pertaining to the asop ics
I had repeated crashes.camera,mms,Email, lock screen, wallpapers, and widgets all crashed. Sorry what I perceive as stable, and what you perceive as stable differ.

the way i got it to run in Infrastructure mode was under the device settings or whatever its called where you select your device, change it from auto to galaxy nexus cdma/lte, DO NOT turn on the encryption, if you need to keep ppl out enable access control, turn on router fixing, and it should work just fine. some devices might still have an issue with it, but not many.
I'm running Newtoroot's Senseless ICS ROM and it's fantastic. I'm probably not going to flash another ROM for 2, 3 days tops (sigh). I'll actually probably wait until they have CM9 up and running as a daily driver. They finally fixed the ICS camera, which I was able to extract from the CM9 build and install in the system / app folder. I finally have all the mega pixels back.

[Q] Missing Anything Without Sense?

Hey guys.
Does anyone know if using an AOSP rom, you loose out on any features, such as hardware camera processing or others by not being on a Sense-based ROM?
Thanks,
Da
You will lose anything related to sense. Widgets, camera software, profile & prl update capabilities, etc.
I would say you definitely lose out on overall stability and also some features. First and foremost you may experience LOS (loss of signal) which can be really crippling and just make the phone unusable. Also, most AOSP seem to have a problem either sending or receiving MMS. Not to mention you can't update profile and prl.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It's a matter of opinion HTC does not open source their software, and they wait till the last minute to release kernel sources, as for prl and profile you can't update them via an aosp Rom. But a quick flash or restore to sense and you can as for stability I'd say aosp or stock.
You may miss HTC's applications such as friend stream and others but you can easily find a variant for it.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies.
Understood with the prl update stuff.
I run custom prls atm so I can roam on 3g when desired.
I was mainly asking because I heard there is a processing chip that enables the instant photo shoots, or something similar. Wanted to know definitively if sense drivers were needed for this hardware based functionality and if there was any other loss of hardware features.

As far as I can tell image sense is basically postprocessing but I could be wrong. The libs for image sense were ported to cmx some time ago, not sure about other aosp roms
You win some and you lose some. Multitasking is ornamental in AOSP an fast as hell, but the imagesense hardware and software are unbeatable on sense. I'm running viper4g right now with only the complaint that even the new multitasking "fixes" aren't 100%

Source on this?
What i miss is the overall integration of my social networks. While you can get apps that help you do it, in sense its already there and works seamlessly. I can see their Facebook and twitter statuses as they call me. But i cant in AOSP from what i have seen. How ever... I like how fast AOSP is, only thing that keeps me away is the sense camera ( its so damn fast ) and the signal stability issue. Once time i walked outside of my workplace and i had signal, just not data. and it stayed that way for about 5 minutes. never happens in sense

New to the Evo LTE Community

I finally retired my Evo OG and loved it so much I had to go with it's successor. My Evo's LCD screen went out literally when I got home from the sprint store (talk about great timing). First of all RIP Evo OG. You are still the best phone I have ever owned. I'm gonna miss you.
Anyway, I am wondering what's the first things I should do with my new Evo LTE? Should I root right away? Any good rom suggestions? Kernels? My old phone was rooted since about the time I first bought it. I was running Deck's rom for about the last 8 months. Thanks for any advice.
My phone's hardware version is 0003 and software version 1.13.651.1 710RD. I haven't had a chance to check the Hboot and S-off stuff yet.

root... then s-off.. flash mean rom or cm10 if u like aosp roms.. i like sense myself.. i say mean rom the best sense and aosp would be cm10 for sure!
Sell it due to radio issues...
Or second.. Make sure you update to the latest baseband, pri, and all the pieces that go with it. Do not make the mistake of just updating the modem. Especially with all the issues the modem has now. Hopefully they will come out with some sort of fix but many of us are doubtful. Then from there test different roms to see what works for you.
Loved this phone for everything but uh the phone and data part. Getting a note 2 or s3 in a week and handing the evo down.

I may be of the minority, but I have had VERY FEW issues with my phone. It has worked well from the beginning and all but one issue has been resolved (contacts lagging, but not as bad for me as some report). I am not rooted and don't ever plan to be. I use Nova Launcher Prime, which took care for Sense reloads, and Chomp for texting as it syncs Facebook avitars for free. I absolutely love this phone. Good luck to you with yours!

If you're familiar with android at all you'll immediately see how broke the multitasking is. But AOSP ROMs fix that. I've read zeppelinroxs mod fixes it for sense. I'm starting its the s4 processor, cuz all I use is AOSP, and when I relaunch root explorer from recent button, root explorer always start from base level, not last open level.
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
Thanks Digilbur for that info. I was actually having all sorts of trouble with data speeds for the past few days so I was starting to worry that the radio was gonna be a problem, but turns out I was worrying for nothing because sprint was having an unusual outage in my area. He said it would be fixed on the 26th so hopefully everything will be running smooth by then. I went ahead and took the OTA I received, prior to knowing about the outage, hoping it would fix my radios.
Coming from my last phone where I had to squeeze every last drop of battery life out of it, I'm loving how much longer this one lasts. I rarely played games on my OG because my phone would die, now I can spend a bunch of time playing 9 innings baseball 2013 (GO A'S!).
Anyway when I do root, which will likely be soon, I will have to try Mean rom, Flex rom, and CM10. I have been partial to AOSP roms because I like to use go launcher ex anyway, but never really liked cyanogen mod due to too some problems that are probably fixed. My main thing is without question battery life followed by functionality (everything working or working better than in stock). I'm hoping to have the multitasking fixed for sure and I'm still curious as to if there is any truth to the camera app or camera itself functioning better in sense?
Sense uses image sense with is basically post (denoise, color correction) but the camera is still leaps and bounds ahead of aosp camera in terms of functionality. The libs are supposed to have been ported but the chromatic aberration is terrible in aosp
Fleck's stock with goodies is a good ROM. Basically stock with a few features like quick toggles added. True multitasking as well but I haven't used it awhile. Cm10 is always nice.

Comparison of CDMA JB Roms?????

I am looking at doing a dual boot with JB on my MAXX but there are so many ROMs.
Is there anywhere that has a chart comparison of the different ROM's?
Don't want to ask the subjective question of "Which one is best?" What is good for one person is not necessarily good for someone else.
Simplex, not jb but as close as you can get till there is an official leaky.

Thanks. I found CM10 Licorice for the RAZR. It is 4.1.2 and is pretty slick. There are a few bugs reported but I haven't encountered them. They are quality of pics. Problem with recording HD video, and some connectivity issues with BT.
The only bug that I have run across is when rotating the phone. The screen shrinks to about 1/3 of it's normal size and then pops back to full size.
Also dual booting into licorice myself. Its the best I've come across that is cm10 based. I've tried others such as whizzed bean, but nothing comes close to licorice. The dark gapps and customizability are the best. The only problem I have is the stock camera app doesn't work for me, but I can use an aftermarket camera which is okay. The bluetooth bug also is present, but I don't use it much so its not a problem for me. The screen rotation bug is there as well, but that us with all cm10 ROMs as it is present in the base build so all others will have it until it is patched in the source. I'm on it as a daily driver right now and have been using it for about 2 weeks. Great ROM, and super fast and smooth.

I tried the BT today. It would connect fine with my car stereo but you could not talk through the stereo. I hope they get that worked out. But it will happen in time.
Right now I am about to load the AOK-Licorice build to see if I like it better than the CM10.
LOL, I have a triple boot phone now.
What's the work-around for MMS issues? That's really been the only thing stopping me from going JB prior to an official leak.
Edit: Specifically for Licorice... that's what I'm most interested in flashing, after all.

When enabled, it breaks Google Now speech input AND you can't make a regular call with the handset. Well you can make a call, but you can't hear anything and the other party can't hear you. That is when it is NOT connected to a BT device. Just turning on BT causes this.

Thanks. I found CM10 Licorice for the RAZR. It is 4.1.2 and is pretty slick. There are a few bugs reported but I haven't encountered them. They are quality of pics. Problem with recording HD video, and some connectivity issues with BT.
The only bug that I have run across is when rotating the phone. The screen shrinks to about 1/3 of it's normal size and then pops back to full size.

Hence CDMA in thread title. Here is a link to their GSM ROMS. There is a CM10 in there and it looks like a few other JB ROMS

[Q] Vanilla does not like my Evo

I am currently running a cleaned up, senseless, meanbean running at 1.7 ghz with Arc reactor....This thing is freaking amazing. Stable and I have very few problems if any.
Vanilla roms, whether it be aosp, aokp, etc...Play music is always FC, especially when web browsing, power hungry games such as CSR or Monster blade are always force closing.
It could just be my phone, but for you guys.
When it comes to stability, power, and battery life, do you do sense, senseless, or vanilla (aosp, aokp, etc)
umm
Havent had that problem luckily. Maybe try evervolv. (Nightlies on their site)
I will give it a try
I thought that it was only me. My phone just doesn't vibe well with AOSP roms. But my problem list is much longer.

That was just to name a few. Plus now I am having MIC issues for the second time. People can only hear me when the headphones are plugged in

Right...and my speakerphone gives feedback. Too bad, though. I've seen some really sweet roms.

Same here...I love aosp but I always have problems with wifi, camera, prox sensor, mms, gps. There are work arounds and mods available to help, but it becomes a pain after a while. I decided to give sense another shot a couple days ago...I'm liking sinister lte a lot. Stable, fast and some nice sense 5 touches. Battery life seems to be about the same for me on both sense and aosp (not great thanks to tasker, skype and all around sh1tty cell reception) so it's really about using genuine htc drivers so that my hardware functions like it should.
I've tried senseless, but to me it sort of defeats the purpose. Plus I kinda like the sense launcher...

The phone worked perfectly on sense Rom. I flashed an aosp Rom and then the problem began. The Mic does not work at all, not for Google voice, calls, or even voice recorder. I flashed back to sense roms and still the problem persists.
However, when I tap the phone while voice recording, the phone picks it up, as well as background noise. Is there any suggestions? Ideas? Or possible fixes?
Just an update: I flashed a CM rom with the 3.4 kernel, and most of my issues with AOSP has disappeared. At least for the time being, it seems as though everything is running as it should.
I can now uninstall system apps using TB, which is something I couldn't do with older CM roms for some reason. Yes, I know that I could've removed them through recovery, but I didn't want to do that.
EDIT @ 6:31a: One random reboot while trying to wake the phone during a game (I turned the screen off.) Also, hanging and lag issues upon reboot. I'm still using the stock kernel.

I'm running the latest nightly from CyanogenMod and the only issue vi have is no ff camera. Since the new kernel has been included, the nightlies have been very stable for me.

Same issues so I went back to meanbean...don't know why I left aside for being a flashaholic

Camera is a must for me, the camera issues I found were too much but dirty unicorn worked well in terms of overall stability

I've been uaasing the original release of dirty unicorn since it dropped (3.0 kernel version) and it's been rock solid and packed with features.

I'm not knocking or praising any single rom. ALL of them behaved exactly the same when it came to the issues that I was having. The issue was definitely with my phone, not the roms.
On another note, I suggest that anyone who has experienced some problems with AOSP roms to try out roms built on the 3.4 kernel. My phone ABSOLUTELY responds better to it. Everything works. I no longer suffer from the problem involving the removal of system apps. No more ticks, and all of my music tracks are readable once again.
