I'm going to go get the evo this weekend because Verizon is or has been to exspensive. I've been doing the proper research for root and I think I got that down for the most part. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with the amount of roms you guys have compared to the dx. I'm addicted to flashing roms which is very frustrating when it comes to the dx as there is such lack of roms for it, oh well who fukin cares cry your self a river build a bridge and get over it..so here's my question . Can I flash different roms over top of each other??? Like for instance from cm7 to whatever rom. I know you have to wipe data and stuff already. Is there anything important I need to know??? Thanks

i would recommend you browse the Evo general forum and you will know what we mean.sprint's data speeds have been horrible for the past 3 months or so,and this seems to be a nationwide problem and not an isolated issue.

As you can see, we have our share of trolls here on the EVO side of XDA but you should be used to that by now coming from DX. These low-lifes are rampant on these forums, just ignore them and you will be ok...
Regarding your question. Technically, if you are flashing a newer version of a rom like say going to CM7 2.2 coming from 2.1, technically you do not have to wipe everything, just dalvic cache but if you are flashing a completely new rom then it's best to completely wipe everything. There is a zip called "format all" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785271
somewhere in the OP in this link, and you can just flash that zip before you go to a new rom and it automatically wipes absolutely everything for you, so you won't have to worry.
I highly recommend you use the format all zip before every rom update or change, just to be safe. And make sure you create a nand backup before hand.
Welcome to the dark side! I'm sure you will love your evo!
P.S if you're looking for roms to try out, particularly AOSP, I highly recommend MIUI. For a sense rom, go with any of Calkulins.
Let me know if you need anything else.

I'm telling you man, do not get into any kind of conversations with some of these folks. Their goals in life are to literally be useless. Ignore them and just do what you gotta do. Don't let anyone alter your decision.
Disregard what the morons are saying about Sprint. Sprint is by far the best value in wireless services. The amount of money you'll be saving will more than make up for any tiny nuisances you'll find with Sprint. Besides, you have 30 days to try out to see if you like it. If you feel it's not worth it to you, just leave and go back... no questions asked.
The EVO is kinda old news now. I would wait for the next big dual core android with AMOLED action. And the number of roms for EVO actually is not all that impressive. Most of them are regurgitations of others. There are a couple of good sense options (although I think rooted stock sense is best) and then there is cyanogen.... which is the best there is IMO... And now it has the extra G.... not that the 4G has been very useful to me.
I average 1.5 to 1.6 Mbps down and 600 to 800 Kbps up.
That ain't bad for 3G.

Yep me too. Occasionally it will be really slow but that only lasts for minutes.
@OP- Answer to your original question- Yes, you can flash ROM after ROM but you need to wipe in between flashing. One of our awesome devs Calkulin made a script that formats everything completely that is an awesome tool to use before flashing. Makes for a good clean install. You can find it in his mods thread in the theme section.

meh... maybe, i tweak the hell out of my phone. i take various themes and put them together to my liking. i used to make roms for the hero. we shall see.
I flashed everything this forum had to offer. Then I went to the Samsung Epic. (I know, I know the grass isn't greener on the other side) And now i'm flashing everything over there. The absolute worse part is everytime I try to flash something I either theme it or have to go through launcher pro customizing. It gets really annoying. Yet alls I need to read is a new title "Super duper newest rom available." and I end up starting over again.

F*** off. Don't come on this forum if you dont like it.
The point is that this is one of Sprint's "top of the line" phones. Why don't I have the bells and whistles that the comperable Evo has? I paid a premium to have this device and all the features its capable of. I'd like to be able to enjoy those highlights.
On a side note if Samsung/Sprint did a little bit better job of keeping everyone in the loop on where they were with updates it wouldn't be such a big deal. I don't need specifics but a ballpark timeline would be nice. It's all about managing people's expectations.

Hopefully fix gps / keyboard issues. My gps locked like a glove on DK28 and closer than I have ever seen on DI18. I enjoyed the new style of text messaging too. Its all about user expierience. Flash would be nice too.
I ran the leaked DK28 build for awhile and enjoyed it quite a bit but it obviously wasn't finished. I'd like to give the finished product a run.
Im in no hurry for froyo til mobile ap starts working on it, wireless tether sucks ass in comoarison, also my gps works great on d118 the only thing froyo will bring me is flash and apps2sd which apps2sd is not even a big deal for me im nit running out of space or anything and my phone does everything I want my phone todo. I dont care if froyo officially doesnt come out til january 2012.

The main thing I want it on my wife's Epic is for C2DM or cloud to device messaging for third party apps. I'd like it so that apps can use less battery power that do notifications among other things.
Also the JIT's kinda nice too..
I haven't done any complaining about it on the forum but one would think one of the best/most expensive android phones on the market would come with the latest version of Android. Anyway personally I went back to running 2.1 with Phoenix/Syndicate Rom after trying a whole slew of 2.2 ROMs. I'll just wait around for the official Froyo and try not to think about it....

I don't see anything about the Epic anymore in the Epic forum. It's all about the SGSII, Evo3D, I'm leaving...wahhhhhhh..cry me a river please, give me lunch money back, etc.
Would be nice to see stuff about the Epic again in the EPIC forums.
I'd much rather read noobnl posts/threads than sift through more and more threads on devices like the Evo/Evo 3D/etc which have nothing to do with the Epic and don't even belong here in the first place, or people griping about how the Epic is undersupported and 'woe iz us' and proudly boasting which manufacturer/device they're moving to because of it and why and all such blather as that as if everyone both wants and deserves to read it.
At the very least noobnl's threads and the reactions within them have some semblance of entertainment value usually.
This is a great phone and there are a ton of fun and interesting things to do with it. I guess I'm just not jaded enough because I don't buy the newest latest 3x a year for full price. No offense to those who do, but the Epic for me at least has plenty of life left in it.

I have a 2 year old terror for a son, that is constantly playing with my phone. The blue htc case has been the best purchase i have made in a long time.

I just recieved a new shift about 3 hours ago because i dropped mine and im stuck without root also, and as a dev its horrible.
but honestly no real need to make a new thread about it

We all feel your pain . Guess it's going to be a minute before your able to do anything for the community . Dammm you HTC .
you could always try a different Launcher so that it will look different...
If you're lookin for a sense 3.0 like lockescreen try Agile Lock from the market, been using it on my evo for a week or so and loving it. In order to get all the functionality out of it you'll have to download 4 or 5 apps from within the agile lock app. They're all in Japenese or Chinese, can't read either so not sure which language it actually is, but just download and install them then you can delete them. Once the app is unlocked it functions almost just like the 3.0 lockscreen.

I didn't care if anyone responded. Sorry for eating valuable forum space in the shift forum. When root comes back around, this thread will be pointless. Feel free to delete it. But the other person was right. This is the gloom thread. No root for the old hags phone makes me sad. If jock itch makes you sad, tell us about them red balls.
As far as children, I think my 15 y.o. looked at some pR0n on my shift the other day. I spent hours deciding how to sterilize it, in the event that he diddled himself, without blitzing the circuits. My first impulse was to soak it in bleach for a day or two. How's that for some FML?????

Ah crap didn't realize there was no root for 2.3.3 yet. Had to have the wife's phone replaced. This blows

umm...
this will probably sound really stupid, so just remember that I come from the easy-to-root epic forum.
I assume it's not possible to RUU back to 2.2, root, unlock, then flash gingerbread?
I guess my question really is, why doesn't this method work?
(researching for my girlfriends phone...)

Because the RUU checks the hboot and says you've got the wrong one and fails.

I know your saying is correct, but if it is simply just that, how come with revolutionary on other phones you can run a RUU and it'll reset the phone but keep s-off? Or is it because revolutionary just does something crazy?

Dunno. I may be wrong in the above too. I've been lucky enough to keep my root and haven't actually been paying much attention to the problem of rooting the 2.3 OTA.

Switched to Mytouch 4G for a month... and now I'm back.
Flashing the latest MIUI.
I love it.
Of course I do, but its getting old. The forums are dieing everyone's leaving. We hardly have new development lately. The only thing keeping us alive are Cyanogenmod, MIUI, Explodingboy, JCC, and some others I forgot to mention. Everyones gone.
Why did you leave the Mytouch 4g?

I love my Vibrant, some devs and users are moving on to newer phones and communities, but I dun see the point in it just yet, it's working great and I dun need it to be any faster. It's just right.

I have to agree with you. My phone does everything i need it to. I just got my 1800mah battery a few days ago, so battery life is better. Also just installed v6 supercharger script and the phone is even more buttery smooth. Been checking out the sgs II forums and honestly nothing so far has made me want to change.
I do love my Vibrant.
I was bartending last night and a guy at the bar had a (stock) Sprint SGS2. I played with it for a while, and damn, it was smooth. It did make me feel slightly jealous.
I love mine but I want to change to a newer one.
But alas, I'm stuck here until I get money for a new one.
Im my country, the newest one we have is the SGSII and not only that thing is older than I'm comfortable with (the international version), but also costs 500+ ON CONTRACT.
**** you Orange.
What's v6 supercharger? And can u point me in the right direction. Thanks

I am happy with my vibrant also but I am itching to get that samsung galaxy s2 when I have enough money and when I see it hover around $350 or less on craigslist. Probably have to wait for few more months though.

Its fairly simple. He gives links to all the files and tools you need. The script pretty much tells you what to do.
Unless we have a custom ICS I don't think I'll be leaving my current rom. I'm done with flashing with this phone.

I love my vibrant as well. My only real problem with it is the GPS never worked for crap. Mind you, its a first gen vibrant (i bought it the day it came out). If i could solve the GPS, ill be happy as a pig in... noodles?

try miui 2.3.7 nb version 1.11.4. This version frees up alot of ram.
If i remember correctly you can use this script with any android OS. It automatically recommends the settings based on your phone. Just read thru the OP to be sure.

Maybe you can switch it?
I bought it when it first came out. GPS didn't work. A few months later I bricked it lol and T-Mobile gave me a new one. GPS works perfectly.
Yeah i love my Vibrant as well..we're so in love...lol

my vibrant has been great, but the writing is on the wall. Gonna wait till the first of next year and see exactly what T-Mobile is pushing. No hurry, MIUI NB, Im good for now.Knowing all the B.S., still take the Vibrant in a do over!!
can't say that i love it, but i think it'll last me another year. i dont see any reason to upgrade yet.
