Wazzaaaaaa! Before I jump the gun.. - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Yo wassup my fellow iPhone Killas!
I was thinking of finally making the jump to ROOTING my device and installing the CM10 ROM for the Stability, Theming, Battery life, & Multitasking. But the Camera functionality/quality from CM10 got me on hold. But I hear good things about MeanRom.
I've done lots of research but once you are ready to do it, you seem to feel like you are forgetting something.
So before I jump the gun, does anyone have any pointers & help to what I should do first, (before rooting and flashing a Rom)?
I know there is a lot of great roms out there.
As long as I have a Stable, Great quality Camera and can multi task Rom, I'm good.
HTC Evo 4G LTE
Running:
Android 4.0.4
Sense 4.1

for safe measure if you activated google wallet....reset it. Make sure your pics and vids you already took are on SD card and not internal storage......... then pound your chest with your fist, next do a fist pump and your ready to go lol J/K Good luck man!

I would if i were you just install cm10 from Deck and flash the 4.2 camera and gallery zip ....the android 4.2 camera is excellent, although it still lacks behind the sense camera but you just have to weigh the positives and negatives....also just go to the original development thread an youll see all the roms and such that you can use. If you want something like mean rom or other stock roms go to the android development thread

oh lord another kaomini or what ever his name is. smh.

Download sms backup to back up all your texts, make sure the default directory is your external sd card, also get a good root explorer, you'll need it, and invest in titanium backup, use twrp as a recovery and make sure after you unlock and root, to downgrade your h-boot to 1.12 and s-off that biyotch...happy flashing bro and welcome to the family!!

Don't yell at me...

First things first...don't yell at me for creating this thread
Relatively new to android (I was an old school winmo guy for a long time *dcd!*) and now I wanna root my E3D and flash some other roms on it.
So the question is, what kinda roms do you all suggest? I love sense so any suggestions?
If you don't want to be yelled at...why not post in Q&A? This is a question right...
Anyway, Android Revolution HD is my favorite sense ROM now. MIUI is awesome if you want something radical, but is buggy. CM7 is good too but a bit buggy.

I've been using Deck's (kushdeck) sense rom for eons now. I've tried a bunch of other Sense roms, many of which were awesome, but a lot had some issues because they were nightlies or whatever. With deck's, I get unbelievable battery life in comparison to any other rom. It's a pretty standard sense rom, doesn't have much extra themeing, but it's extremely solid. (my nandroid of that rom is named KushSuperStable, lol).

Yea, it is sad that he's gone ghost. I hope everything's alright with him in 'real life' and that all is well. Hopefully when he has some more free time he comes back over here. At least the way he left the rom is perfect, I have not one complaint about it and see no need to update it.

AndroidRevolution is great. Stock, but with ALOT of enhancements as well as having one of the best development teams on XDA!

The most stable I have used thus far have been clean rom, steel rom, and virus' eternity roms (builds 1.1, 1.2.2, and 1.4)....
Either one of those will be solid and reliable. Virus 1.4.2 rom seems very solid as well but I haven't made the jump yet simply bec#use I want to put this one through the long haul test... been on this rom and the bc kernel v3 for over two weeks, over clocked at 1.62 ghz with not one issue.
I would give eternity 1.4 a shot

Yeah GhostFaceKillah.
I use CleanRom its stock with bloatware removed and some other enhancements.
SteelRom is my absolute favorite Sense based rom. But nothing will ever beat the awesomeness of CM7
Lot of good suggestions in here, but when it really comes down to it you need to read up and just try stuff.. Doesnt take much to nand and try a rom for yourself.
Another thing that matters is what YOU use on your phone..
For example, someone said that MIUI is radical which is very true but its awesome once you get used to it and that its buggy.. but that may not be true for everyone because for me its flawless for what I use it for.. I dont have 4g in my area so I could care less about that, I dont use any hotspot apps so that doesnt matter for me as some are having issues with that. 3D doesnt work but honestly I barely ever use it anyways..
Although I wouldnt recommend MIUI as your first rom to flash because it does take some getting used to.. and you also mentioned that you like sense.
Eternity is one of my favorites and I used it for a while, its sense but has some cool features that make it different then stock sense.
Again its hard to say which are best because there are so many talented Devs around that are making awesome roms.. so get used to nanding and dive in..
another vote for Eternity Rom.
Ive been with Eternity for several weeks now. I flashed MIUI temporarily and didnt like it, back to Eternity.
I am currently on 1.4.1 and Ziggy dual core kernal. Great benchmark scores @ 1.7
1.8 seems unstable on some of the benches like cf and antutu. But I typically just keep it at stock CPU speed anyhow, so Im not worried about it.
Some people seem to have more issues than others. Some the screen locks up on them while charging, others it wont go to sleep, some people the screen wont wake up during an incoming call.
Myself I havent had any issues really. My facebook app seems to force close quite a bit whenever I try to post on someones wall. I would like to see that fixed, but as far as I know, no one else really has that issue. So it may just be something glitchy on my phone.
But yes. Definitely try Eternity. You wont regret.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will definitely try out some of your suggestions!
Aside from the poor choice of thread title, we know nothing about the device. I guess I could've missed it skimming through all 2 pages. What Hboot is on the device? Figuring out which method to use and how far you'll be able to go is a good start. You should be checking out the root threads before asking about ROMs. Just a thought, not intended to be rude in any way.
Miui is the best rom hands down for looks and feel. And it gets better every week!

I agree on Deck's ROM too, but because he has gone AWOL, I've switched over to CleanROM 2.7. It's just as reliable as Deck's ROM, battery life is almost as good, but you can OC and make it FLY while still retaining excellent battery life. And... it's more customizable than Deck's ROM.
I've run both Deck's ROM and CleanROM 2.7 long term and can recommend both. I'd give the edge to CleanROM though (there's a CleanROM Developer's Edition too).

Hey man, I really suggest reading the Development Thread. It gives you step by step instructions how to root, unlock, and flash ROMs. I would also suggest watching qbking77's videos on youtube so you get a visual guide. Regarding themes, we've got some great ones in the Theme/App thread that you should try out once you're rooted and are running that ROM of your choice. First things first though, learn how to root, backup your phone, and restore...it's key if you ever screw up.
I rooted my phone before and was successful with that but then when I tried to do a ROM I got a bunch of error because I deleted something and now I just got it back to the stock/factory settings.
Go to Youtube and type in how to root the motorola photon and watch the videos by qbking

Actually you can Google "one click photon root"
I did get the root back. I found a one click root and have root access all again. I am just trying to find out how to keep 4G and get custom ROM's and/or ICS(Ice Cream Sandwich) OS for Android. That would be amazing! Any help????????????????
You can attempt porting ics..and u can try the alien rom with 4g..read the thread...itll show u how to do it..

Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean Port ICS? And what do you think about Alien Rom with 4G? Because I heard some mix reviews.
I just think this post can help with some beginners as well as me. Just trying to get as much info as I can. Don't want to brick my phone again lol
Well, basically since we don't have an official ICS release for our phone yet, you'd need to build it to our phones specs. I don't know anything about how to do that, as I'm not a technical/rom/kernel developer.
Regarding Alien ROM..it was a good ROM to start with when the phone was in the early stages. Thanks to KenPenn who brought that over from the Atrix.. The themeing is great on it, but I have to say again that this was an older build before the phone went through the latest updates and won't be fully functional for the latest builds. You can always try it, and then flash back if you don't like it.

No dice at this time. 4G breaks when you unlock. ICS is only as CM9, and that requires unlocked loader. Skinny4G through bootstrap (see QBKing77 video) is only way to get rom and keep 4G. Won't be able to overclock though.

Magnifier rom actually works pretty well. It definitely feels lighter than the stock rom. It was really nice paired with jokeraxs 1.4 oc kernel. Personally, I use the skinnyrev2 pre test with the same 1.4oc kernel.
Funny that you are making fun of qbking and Magnifier ROM...where's your ROM you developed, or your how-to video? I give a lot of credit to the group at ACS for making both a quality ROM as well as great videos to help make rooting and modding your photon easy.

Figured there would be some kind of announcement. Just gotta wait now!
I have tried ROCKO rom and CM9 on my electrify. I have to say that CM9 is a great rom. ROCKO is great if youe like motoblur. WOuld really depend upon what type rom you like.
after root you have to unlock with pudding in order to put 95% of the roms on your phone and you will lose 4g in the process.

Help Get the Miui ROM Ported to the TFP

I have tried asking on Miui.us for a ROM for our TFP. I was wondering if some of you can show your support and help ask for a ROM for us. I have PM'ed a few Mod's and admin's of the site and have received no response. Here is the LINK to the site. Please show your support so we can get this wonderful ROM made for our TFP. I have ran it on my Evo 4G and EVO 3D and it's very smooth with a lot of customization. There are thousands of theme's made for Miui and if you haven't ever seen it, I would highly suggest you check it out. Thanks in advance!

So sick of hearing this bull.
Let the owners pick what Rom they want to run. Is there a problem with Icons being sized the same, christ people spend hours on the market picking out themes and custom icons to get their screens to look a certain way. Whether it be an Ipad kinda layout or not.
While Miui has an Apple look to it (Apple does have some beautiful design) it by NO means runs like iOS.
Man, Ill take a clean looking stable Rom any day. Miui fits this bill. You cant deny the amount of downloads Miui has, they have done something right.
OP....there was a thread started yesterday from a guy who had started on a port. He had some questions for devs to help him out. I tried to steer him to some other forums here for help. He had some screenshots of miui on his prime.....jellybean(something).....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537786
Enough of the elitist attitudes, we want options!! Let the people decide!
Miui might look like an iOS, but it IS definitely no where near it. It is like CM# but IMO way better. You are able to customize almost every aspect of the ROM. You need to look into something before you throw out a stupid comment like"buy an iPad". If I wanted something can't truly customize, over-clock, add anything to it and wanted something blan, I would have bought an iPad. On my old EVO 4G, the ROM was so smooth and had the highest bench scores on the EVO when I had it. On the EVO 3D, it runs just as smooth and very fast. I think that Miui would be a great ROM for us TFP, and if we had our own ROM and not a port, it could be the smoothest and fastest ROM out there. Miui is also supports almost 40 known phones and tablets, and is known world wide and has a big following.
I will continue to try and ask some of the developers for help over on Miui.us.

While miui would be a great option it will no way be the fastest rom. I have ran it myself on a few phones and it is very nice and smooth, but every phone also had other ROMs that were faster. It is very heavy on customization which is nice, don't get me wrong, but it is fact that it doesn't perform as well as many other ROMs on same device.
That being said would love to see it on the prime. Its a great ROM and I love to have more options and things to play with!
I talked to few more people over on Miui.us and found out that super_ is also working on a port for our TFP. He claims that he has been waiting for better dock support before he started ported, but he gave up on waiting and will try to also try and port it over soon.
Also, @rand4ll, IMO it was faster than any of the other ROM's that ran on the EVO 4G, and most on the 3D as well. I have switched back to a Sense rom though, a few features I like more than Miui when it comes to having it be used as a phone. Since the TFP isn't a phone, I won't miss those features and will like to use all the customization that Miui brings.
@Mcoupe, I thought I thanked you as well for providing the link and your info that you provided. I made sure it took this time!
Well we have progrss over at the Miui.us site. They have made a TFP section and are working on a rom. Whenever I find out more I will keep everyone updated on this.

For a short while there was a download on goo.im/miui, I'm guessing it was some sorta beta/nighty/test rom but anyway... I never got it to boot up completely (boot loop), And It appears they used cm9 as a base(the boot animation was from the old cm9 nightly) any way here is a DL link for it, see if any of you can make any progress or see what wrong with it..

Miui is built a fully built and customized version of CM I believe (I could be wrong though). They took the CM base build and basically built it from scratch off of the CM base. For a long time Miui was a closed source ROM, but I believe they finally released the source code so that any Dev can make a rom for their phone.

From iPhone to Android

So I had my iPhone 4S (Jailbroken of course) for about a year and i got bored with it. Once my upgrade came I decided to give Android a try.
I need to know everrrrrryyyy thing about the Android. (not literally)
I think im rooted already, here are some screen shots to see what I am working with. (Got the phone 2 days ago)
I also am not sure if I am flashing the ROM's correctly, in my about it says i have Stock with Goodies ROM (downloaded here) but some of the features are missing, like landscape rosie and the power down options for recovery.
I also have no freaking clue what S-OFF and S-ON is so could someone explain that to me,
And
I also see alot of mods being implmented by txt editors codes n such, replacement of codes. Can I get a brief on that as well?
I really need gudiance, I did everything on my own and im not sure if I did any of it correctly. Ive been reading that MeanROM ICS is popular I had it but I switched to stock goodies.
My task list is as follows,
Install Stock ROM,
LazyPanda S-OFF,
ROOT,
Remove Tampered,
Install MeanROM ICS
How Do I acomplish this ^ in the correct order, from where im standing in my screenshots but note in the bootloader screenshot mine is UNLOCKED not locked
Here is a good introductory tutorial on the evo lte and android in general (thank om4):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
It looks like your bootloader was unlocked at one point and then relocked. The good news is you have the right hboot version for s-off (1.12) so you should do that first. You'll need to do it with a ROM that's a 1.12 or 1.13 base though (not sure what base stock w/ goodies 2.16 is), so if that's not what you're currently running you'll need to unlock the bootloader first and flash one (like Fresh 5.1.1). S-off will give you full access to the phone's internal memory and allow you to flash anything, whereas only unlocking the bootloader and remaining s-on has some limitations. Read the first couple of posts in this thread to learn how:

Im upset to admit that ive been brainwashed by apple, and the Jail breaking community
At least you are honest about it. It is pretty sad to me, the love affair America has with Apple.

I agree. I went as far as starting a new line on my account and letting my roommate get a GS3 with it. He was such an IPhone lover to the max.
I rooted his Sammy (technically mine) and showed him how to flash ROMs, nandroid (backup up ROMs, for Op) and install themes, put apps in system, ect, and everything else you can do with an android. He loves that he made the switch and can't believe how much he was missing. He sends me new threads and gets so excited to show me his latest mods, ROMs, tweaks, ect.
Welcome to the world of android my friend. Love when I see someone who actually had an open mind and decided to try android. There's so much your gonna love and so much you can do with android.
You came to the right place with your questions and it looks like your questions have been answered already. You'll find we are a very close knit supportive community and just about anyone will help you with anything.
My biggest advice would be to read read read. That's what I did when I first started rooting phones years ago. (Cm7 on my cliq xt was my first modded phone ) and lastly before you post questions in development threads, do a quick search. Most questions are usually already answered and solutions are provided
Welcome to the community!! You can personally pm me with anything you need help with. Would be glad to help

I can't stand Apple, not only their stuff, but the Corporate bully that is Apple, only 500 billion in the bank for a rainy day, must be nice.
Android rules, but the best part of it is the support you find here. If you would like some color on your phone, I have 3 themes on evo 4g lte forum under the themes/apps section, I bet you can't do that with a rotton apple lol

[Q] Best of the Best Fully Functional Roms?

I know not every rom works best for everyone. I have read and read the Evo 3D forum. I know that not very many of these roms are updated anymore. There are many roms I would like to try, but the downloads aren't active anymore. I would love to compile a list of the roms that are fully functional for this phone. I don't have phone service atm, but I use this phone everyday. I can't test all the roms I would like to, I missed the bus! This phone was given to me recently and I hate to say this, but its the best phone I own and I kinda like it! So step up Evo 3D community and help me compile some lists. I'm thinking a Fully Functional ICS, JB, & KK list. Only the roms that are noteworthy of being very exceptional and unique. All opinions are welcome. Please don't shout out just one! If it can't be downloaded any longer, please make it available. Please help keep this phone alive!
Negalite Blu Rom, ICS fully functional
Sent from my DOWNGRADED EVO 3D, remember all development is done on my phone, not a computer
Pac rom was legit. Dunno if it's still supported.

I'm trying now YAS4 v11 and it is very good (Antutu of >11.000 at 1080Mhz)! Too bad I cannot post there as a beginner. I don't get random reboots as others, but VPN is not working (pls tell to Snoob25).:crying:
Thanks guys. PacRom has always been really good. I may dl YAS4 v11 and try it out, but I prefer a senseless rom. JCFUNK is right tho Negalite is fully functional and it rocks. I use it senseless with nova launcher. Its pretty fast too. I keep the 8GB SD Card loaded down with MP3's and jam out all day at work.

Hey! Would you happen to know where i can get the most stable copy of this ROM? All of the links are down on the page, and I'm guessing that you used it at some point and was hoping you might have a copy
Anyways tahnks!

Been awhile since I've fired up my 3vo. Let me check and see if I still have a copy on my sd card.
Edit: Check your PMs, bud!
