lol no. i was in dover nh when i got it. i love the phone just my Flash is broken.
Welcome. At the time, I really enjoyed my HTC Hero. I previously had an HTC Touch with a winblows OS, so android was a wow moment for me.
There's alot of great devs and support for the EVO. It think it what sets this phone apart from any other. Good luck and enjoy (when you get your flash fixed).

Welcome, we've got some good stuff, like one click root, more roms than you could need, miui, cm7, and sense out the wazoo. What are you thinking of doing to your new toy? A little cm or are you a sense fanatic like me?

im a Sense freak. i am gonna go with myn's warm rls5 with slayer69 cyan dragon theme.
i was thinking if i tried to flash it to see if i liked it and to see if it would fix my LED flash problem. but idk how to UNROOT the evo like i did with the hero. cause idk where to get the RUU for the evo. its on there main site for the hero but not the evo. just tells me how to hard reset by holding the volume down and power on and clean drive.
If you want instructions on how to unroot the EVO this thread on this site talks about it and has links to instructions on what you need to do.

I've had an EVO since launch day but I just bought my dad one over the week. He's upgrading from the RUMOR so it's a big step up for him. Radioshack had a promo over the weekend. Turn in your old phone and credit a $50 dollar credit for either a new EVO or EVO shift. So total it was only $150 plus tax out the door.
Also new to the EVO forums, got it today, cant wait to get home an root-root-root.
And flush my Hero into a drawer for emergencies.
I'll be seeing ya'll around here. ;-)

Welcome, I love my EVO
First time poster, long time reader, just wanted to hi and that this forum site is awesome. I rooted my phone three days ago and today I'm running and loving mikfroyo 4.5. Thanks to all!!
Welcome, try cm 7
I bought an Evo almost entirely because of our dev community.
Currently running MikFroyo 4.5 with Slayer's Dragon Theme (it is badASS) but I've run quite a few others. Huge CM fan (it's been on all my rooted phones at some point.
Great devs, great phone, adequate service. Yeah, I love my Evo
Plus, we have a Honeycomb rom being cooked up by AndroidBall. Excited about that as well
lucky you. i cant run the slayer69 dragon theme. its a SICK SICK theme toon. it just keeps crashing on me. but
Welcome to this old decrepit phone. In few months I'll be ditching mine. I'm just waiting to see what radio hacks develop for the cdma iphone.

Well my trusty hero which I only had for a a couple of months bit the big one yesterday. I went to the Sprint Store to get another one and all they had in stock for Android was a Moment.
So I guess I won't be around here as much.
This community despite some squabbles is incredible. I've enjoyed and appreciated my time here and the help I got.
The moment isn't a bad phone, I just pretend I'm running DarchDroid.

Well we're gonna miss ya for sure! Hope you can deal with the Moment until you get our EVO (providing that is what you're going to next ) I know we'll see you around......
.....Now you should root the moment and port all our goodness to them You'll be a hero......haha.
The Moment was rooted before the official 2.1 was released. They have it easy. An earlier version of the Samsung software updater let you run unsigned tarballs. So you just use that to install a custom recovery and off you go.
btw, great reference for the title. was one of my favorite books WAAYYY before the movie, they did a HORRIBLE job with Zaphod
good luck you going to sdx?
I prefer to pretend that movie never happened.
Either of them.
Going to miss you gunnyman both here and Android central.. be well.

Argh I miss my Hero already. The themes, the ports of different roms. Just don't happen over there in SDX Land. Someone is working on a Sens UI port though. On the upside. Live Wallpapers work perfectly and so does the 3d gallery at the same time.

So wait they just gave you a moment instead, no questions asked? Im gonna try this today as my hero has been acting up and if i get a replacement it would be my 4th phone already. Sprint told me they hardly ever give you a different model phone.
At the end of June and I must say, I miss the Hero. I rooted the Hero with DarchDroid like I always had and gave it to my mom. Seeing her with a complete AOSP working ROM and me stuck with broken camera no AOSP sucks...
LOL u get what u pay for lmao
I do have to say that I might be going to the Evo and I am not sure how well the idea is sitting with me, honestly. I mean, I absolutely love my hero, Best ****ing phone I have ever had. I don't want to go to something with so many quirks that people complain about here, but not on the sprint.com reviews pages...

broken camera???
I just don't understand peoples mentality... You're comparing custom roms on a year old device to a month old device. It took a year for a aosp darchdroid rom, what makes you think the evo would have it already? I would still buy the evo. And what broken camera are u talking about?
Maybe he dropped it already

This has been a great experience for me and my HEROC. Thanks to all the DEVS that supported this phone to the end.
I have recently upgraded my HEROC to a EVO SHIFT. Hopefully, I will see some of you over the Evo Shift Forums and we could all start over.
Looking forward to rooting, roming, and to the development of this new phone. I'll check back once in a while to see what kind of progreess the Heroc is getting.
Take care y'all...
I also came from a hero. This phone, imho, was a great upgrade. The physical keyboard is a super bonus to what the phone can do. It is way faster than the hero and can perform just as well as the Evo. Of course that is debatable. For me, I do like the smaller screen compare to the evo/epic. The camera is decent for a 5mp with flash. Being a second gen snapdragon, can't wait for the new development to start.
Fyi this is not a development topic

Does the Optimus S even have its own forum on here yet? If so I can't seem to find it. I know there's a couple for it located on Android Central and Android Forums. Here on xda, I do see a little bit of Optimus S stuff in the 'Optimus One P500' forum -- is that it for now? Thanks, Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. Also sorry for the thread hijack, I won't mention this again here on the Evo Shift forum.
Well, this Heroc to Evo Shift move may not be a done deal for me now that Sprint's got something planned for the 7th of Feb. What about you guys...?
I'm loving this phone. I came from heroc and I'm glad to know sense can be good... if your phone is fast enough to run it haha.

No doubt there, Sense seems fine on this phone compared to my Hero. I came from the Hero, and upgraded my wife's Moment to the Shift also. My wife said something funny about that last night, "They called it the Moment because it only works for a moment." EPIC!! lol
I'm enjoying it, came from a Heroc. Sense is really ruining the experience for me though, even with ADW it just isn't as good as stock or CM6/7. I'm,hoping it gets root soon or its back to the hero.

That would be pretty awesome.
Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks popper..nice to meet you too
Welcome to the evo. Don't mind the trolls they seem to be in abundance these days. Might make me goto the 3d just for that reason.
As for the voice, I had that problem in a few roms. Idk what the problem was but after installing swiftkeyboard x its working fine on my current daily driver. I can't say it didn't work before becouse I didn't try it.
Salvage asop running like a champ.

Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap. I just came from the here as well and the 3-D was only an option when I heard about the ram and dual core processor, after I messed with it for a while I was over it lol. Welcome man, its a good step in the right direction. The only way I would even consider going with a 3-d phone is once the whole 3-D option either plays out or gets much better.

Upgraded from a Hero, man the difference is out of this world. Been running jaybob's TeamHeroC rom on the Hero, and already rooted and flashed strapped's SupremeSense on the Shift
Loving this phone so far!
(Before anyone asks why I got the Shift and not anything newer it's because I'm with Credo Mobile, not Sprint, and this is the best Android phone they have at the moment. Still, it's a pretty awesome phone!)

Glad your enjoying the phone, and welcome to the community!
This is probably one of the better communitys of developers and users on XDA. although we do have little fallouts from time to time (were human right? )
Supreme Sense is a personal favorite of mine and as a themer thats where I put most of my work.
Im sure you'll be seeing me around the Theme & Apps Section.
Enjoy
Oh yea forgot to ask...
Why didnt you just get a better, newer phone instead of the shift? lol jk.
This is a beast of a phone
Welcome aboard man, you will see that the Shift should keep you more than happy when it comes to a phone, great camera pretty amazing performance and some of the best AOSP and Sense ROMS I have ran, I had an EVO and got rid of it when I broke it and ended up with a Hero then the Shift and I'm perfectly happy now that we have source for overclock and everything, I don't think I'll be "upgrading" anytime soon.

Glad to have you aboard. Great choice on the Shift. This device is seriously underated. You'll enjoy the Shift a lot.
WOW! Someone actually GOT A SHIFT! Congrats! You will love it. It's one of the best phones on the market.
May I suggest Supreme Sense or Cyanogenmod 7 as your roms of choice.
