I stumbled upon an article linking to a download to the Gingerbread "beta" for Evo and I'm wondering:
What would happen to my current roms if I actually flashed the update? (using CM 6 and Fresh 3.4.0.1)
Is there potential to completely brick the phone to the point I won't even be able to get into the recovery to get back to a functional rom?
Its not beta. More like a "dev only" or alpha. Its in the dev forum. It wont brick your phone but It could give you some headaches if your new at flashing roms.

it is very choppy on my phone, like 5fps choppy.
but text and web browsing worked, along with the market.
however couldn't check gmail, id click on the email and it'd open than go back to the menu right away
Is the flashing process any different than simply selecting the .zip file from clockwork, or do I need to name it update or PC36IMG?
or would it be similar to the headaches received from not wiping the data and cache to load CM 6.1 "stable"?
What exactly are you hoping to accomplish any way? The rom is purely in developmental stages right now and should in no way be used as your primary rom. It's literally going to suck. Performance is NOT there right now. Given the questions you're asking in this thread it's highly unlikely you're going to be loading this rom and helping to improve it by developing it further...
a 2.3 based rom for the Evo intended for the "end user" is likely not going to be ready for you until the source is released for 2.3.
I just saw this posted, not sure if it could be of any help to those that "were" working on the sdk port. I say were because the thread was just closed.

You are mistaken at what that rom is. It is a froyo rom for the Droid X with the gingerbread keyboard and theme.
The numbering convention for the Droid X firmwares just happen to be at 2.3.x right now which is probably confusing you. If you actually go the thread dedicated to that rom you will see: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...x-1-3-0-droid-x-running-running-fast-can.html

What was/is mis-leading is they are calling it "unofficial Gingerbread port" when they should have called it a rom with a ported theme & keyboard. They never mentioned the version # so I wasn't looking at that. Thanks for the clarification. ... Android Central>
That is a very mis-leading title.

Is it possible to get android 2.0 on your HTC Hero on the Sprint Network. If so, could you give instructions on how I'm not all that technically advanced, any help would be much appreciated.

there is a mostly working 2.1 on here in the stickys ant the top on the forum as well as an ASOP 2.0 build but I would give it a few days to a week and now that the kernel source has been released the great devs here should have a fully working build very soon.
Thanks alot, is there much of a risk doing that?
No, Sprint has not release a newer version of Android for the Hero than 1.5.

As long as you flash a CDMA Hero ROM & install the custom recovery image, there isn't much risk.
Sprint has not released the 2.1 update for the Hero yet and does not have any confirmed date on when it will be available.
The devs here have several 2.x ROMS with partial functionality, and instructions on how to root your phone and flash them are usually on the first page of their respective threads. Also, check the wiki at the top. It's new and needs a little polish, but it's a repository for all ROMS and guides you'll need.
HTC just released the source code for the CDMA kernel, and with that the devs here should have a fully functional 2.x ROM soon.

This is the 2.1 Beta. But yeah just like wtphoto said. Give it some time before it gets fully furnished for day to day use.
Only if you can't follow VERY simple instructions

click the links on my previous post to read what you need to do.
PLEASE read everything, then re-read it , then read it while you are doing it. there have been many people that have not done so and bricked thier phones
as the old adage goes measure twice cut once.
as far as flash the stock ROM allows flash, that being said there are some file formats that it wont play but for the most part its pretty good.
*edit*
Sorry wrong thread
I am extremely appreciative of all the great strides you Chefs are making in updating builds, however, there is often no option to download a non-themed version of the aforementioned builds. If it isn't too much to ask, is there any way you could include instructions on how to return the build to a stock look or an alternate download for a stock version of the build? I hope I don't get flamed and apologize if I am asking too much. Otherwise, keep up the good work in keeping our HD2s as a large presence in the smartphone world!

There are plenty of *stock* builds in the android development section, you just have to search through the forum...
Here is a link to one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793924, I literally just opend up the forum and looked at the first build and there you go... A stock build.
I am very aware of this, I am referring more to the chefs that theme a previously stock in appearance build, but don't leave the option of downloading the stock version of the build after they update it .
I should have been more specific, I suppose, however, seeing as this was a humble request for developers, the question doesn't pertain to you anyways.

And like I said there are plenty of stock builds out there. A stock build is a stock build regardless of who it comes from. The Devs do enough already.
Hi All,
I think there has been a lot of enthusiasm about Gingerbread theme and themed ROMs. But any idea whether there would be a Gingerbread 2.3 ROM for G3?
Is there anyone who is working for the same? Since Cyanogen mod does not still work for G3, one of you would need to take the initiative to make a custom rom running Gingerbread for Galaxy 3.
bye
Nandi
anyone present here can only modify roms at most and give some fixes they cant build a whole rom, only samfimware or Samsung guys can do that and this is not the right place to discuss that go to general forum.

hi
said right my friend or u can also use the Q & A thread
Thread moved to general
I don't think that there will be a 2.3 ROM for the G3 in this life. 2.2 is not released by now and you ask for 2.3?
Samsung has not listed this phone for 2.3 upgrade and its not gona happen for ever.
The only chance we got is using CM7 and port it for SG 3. I have started working on it, hope it gets me atleast some where.

Officially yes, and you are not alone. If you want 2.2 now flash a 2.2 rom. Go to the development section and the stickied thread that starts with READ FIRST to learn more
@braveBuddy Great to know you're working towards porting CM on G3..hope more dev.s join you to make it happen..
Alright ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to finally bring you the Evervolv series of ROM's.
This rom would not be possible without the CM team, so i give them props any time i can.

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.
How social is the evervolv team?
You can join us on IRC, irc.freenode.net #evervolv. Or follow preludedrew and the status of Evervolv @preludedrew on twitter.
This looks awesome!! I'm first to comment!! Woohoo...thanks mate

Totally sweet. Now you just need a 1.2 bootloader version. ;-)
I clicked on the gtab development section, saw Evervolv, and thought I accidentally went to evo development instead lol. Can't wait to try this out!
you really should indicate whether this is a 1.1 bootloader rom, or a 1.2 bootloader rom. it will alleviate many future problems that people have if they are flashing from the wrong bootloader.
it's only responsible to do so.
what bootloader do i need for install this rom
1.1 or 1.2
One of the slickest U.I.'s I have seen but most browsers and market quickly shuts down. I hope this can be fixed.

If you are using the following roms then you are still on BL 1.1
-Vegan froyo and GB
-Caulkin
-Tnt lite 4x or below- As I understand it, the version of tnt-lite that's on BL 1.2 is called Mountain Laurel now so anything else should still be BL 1.1. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
-CM7
- All the CM7 variants
- Stock Rom 3588 and below
There's not that many ROMs that use BL 1.2 yet. Roebeets newer roms including Bottle of Smoke and Clemsyns combo with Roebeets BoS.
If you still have questions or I didn't list the rom you are on, I suggest reading the thread where you downloaded your rom...just to be safe.
Flashing now. Just wondering if the if the High Definition Video Hardware Decoding works on this? But so far looks awesome!
screen shots?
hd acceleration work?
Is anyone else have trouble opening a browser (other than Opera, which is the only one that seems to work with this ROM)? How about Market, which also closes as soon as it tries to load the list of apps...??? If these issues can't be fixed it will be a shame because this is the most visually appealing ROM outside of Honeycomb.

Same problem here the market will not work. Bummers.
hey guyz finally managed to custom update my nexus with Markdenver's Nexus One Stock 2.3.4 i was now just wondering can you install the htc sense add on separately or do i have to install a ROM with the sense. also if this is possible can you point me in the right direction thanks
Haven't heard of Mark Denver or the term sense "add-on"
But,

Awesome rom, OP page flash instructions and complete/multiple system/data wipes critical
well, mark denver has released a tweaked 2.3.4 and its currently posted on this forom in development section, and i was asking if a external htc sense ui launcher could be installed to a rooted device, because i like the rom but want sense also, thats why i asked if a add on like app existed... ?
Gotcha
Use predominately 3 roms so don't pay close attn to all the roms on that thread
Understand what you are asking now and don't know, sorry
Did you ask the question in Denver's thead, assume so

No, you have to flash the whole sense rom.

well,
that's what I thought--but you never know
didn't think that question would fly well on his thread, but as above you never know till you ask
good luck
