FroYo and Sprint - EVO 4G General

Considering the announcement that 2.2 will now have built in USB and WiFi tethering, what do you think Sprint will do with this? I see them not pushing the update out since they want to charge 30 extra a month for using their own WiFi tethering feature.
I hope this phone gets rooted fast after release.

or they just disable those features and reactivate them if we pay the charge... just like they did with the tethering option on the hero

"USB"...do you mean host usb features, as in the saygus vphone? (where you can plug a usb into the mini-usb port and drag and drop files) ...or did you just mean USB Tethering as well as wifi tethering?

Evolution Rom

Hello, I plan on releasing a rom as soon as the phone is rooted. If you could ask for one thing you would like in a phone what would it be? The rom will be free! Check back here when the phone is released!

A black and red/blue theme(either)
and clear rose would be awesome
This might be a given, but I'd like for it to be free of any and all pre-installed Sprint apps, which I know are installed on the device courtesy of several Youtube videos.

Yes, i plan on uninstalling all of the sprint apps that are just for advertising.
I'd ask for free 4G mobile hot spot tethering, but that might be controlled via a Sprint app, still worth mentioning though.
Its a definite that i will include free Wifi tethering and a LAN option!

Awesome, actually not sure if we're talking about the samething I meant the built in router on the 4G that allows you to tether off to up to 8 different devices. That's why I said not sure if that's possible, but if not tethering would be good enough for me too, thanks by the way.

I don't know if it's possible to get the clock to flip the way it does on WinMo. I know alot of users have requested this on Android and have been told it's not possible. I'm no expert so I really can't comment on why but that's what has been said.
After Android 2.2 is released, will it be possible base your custom ROM's on the update?

I also do not think it is possible but i will do further research and find out the correct answer.

I have no idea. I'm hoping that the Evo doesn't release with 2.2 because i already have a good handle of 2.1. Even if it does 2.2 will only open the door to more features for the ROM.

A barebones, stripped down, AOSP version of 2.1.

I totally agree. I hate the look of helix!
I wouldn't mind one at first that just removes the Sprint apps and adds wifi tethering. Any performance tweaks would be welcome as well.

What's so great about Froyo??? IYO

Is it just me, maybe I missed something, .. been anxiously awaiting 2.2, flashed it today, what are the pros? No wifi tether, capped fps, no UI enhancements (that I noticed). Anyone wanna tell me they are lovin it, and why? Maybe I was expecting too much.
Sorry wrong thread, tryin to figure out how to delete...

ITs FROyO!!!!!!!! lol
this should not be posted here. post in q and a.
and do some more reading because many of those things work.
and how about making your phone 3 to 5 times faster!!!
use the search button to the top right
It's much faster for one and more refined than earlier builds. That last past is much more apparent in aosp builds then with sense. And there is WiFi tether. You just have to use the latest apk. And just an FYI, prepare to ne flamed by someone. This type of post belongs in q&a.

You'll see more of the benefits when all of the source is out there.

so WiFi Tethering is working on your ROM? if so that is great to hear.
I going to go read your thread and try to get some confirmation of this.
You really really can tell the phone is less sluggish. Video-taking is much improved because of this. The speed of which i can snap photos of funny **** my kids are doing is so important to me. They can be doing funny things for half a second and can't stand any lag.
The signal seems improved to me in my area with the new radio flash. so thats good
The phone is just loads better at what it is supposed to do.

The only one worth mentioning in that lot is 4g.
Ya...Try one of the Kernels floatin around to speed things up
I just flashed BakedSnack's rom (Thank you kind sir) and it's scary fast. 47 MFLOPS compared to 7 on 2.1. I just tested the wifi-tethering and it worked seamlessly. I also don't have the FPS capped situation. I'm averaging around 50 at the moment.

you are WiFi tethered to your EVO and browsing XDA? discoverable does not mean it's working
**funny how the last two people replying on here saying Baked and Ava's roms work flawlessly it was their first post on XDA. just sayin'

I was just about to say the same.
I think the Froyo update was over-hyped. I haven't noticed any significant increase in speed or battery life, same 4G/3G performance, and Hulu doesn't work.

I hope that it comes to the Wifi Xoom soon.
Pretty disappointed with 3.1 so far....
Also here:

Can we have an I/O thread to talk about all the particular things being announced? A major thing the emulator folks will love is the usb host capabilities with the Xbox360 controller.
Cant believe still no bluetooth mouse...
I have tried to update mine over wireless with no luck. Does it have to be connected to the verizon network?

Does anyone do something in issue USB or Wifi Tethering ?
Still waiting for some proposal how to solve it.

Any news on when the ROM will be released? I'm anxiously waiting am looking forward to the Internet Sharing
Right now it's only confirmed for HD7 but DFT are supposed to be working on HD2 as well. Will have to wait and see.

Sweet! I have an HD7 as well hehe

Any info about USB tethering?
English is a foreign language to me so I'm very clumsy at forum searching.
I want to use USB tethering because it seemed to use less battery. While my HD2 WP7 is WiFi tethering it uses so-much battery that even 1A charger cant keep.

[Q] Usb Hosting on Android HD2

Possible? Yes
Manageable? Yes
Why it's not finished? Not enough willing devs.
But it's true.
I even offered some money for USB host development, and sadly, devs are not willing to this. All I got for an answer is this: we have moved to another device.
So what do you expect? Awaiting for nothing and being nice?
