What can I do with my EVO shift if I root it? - EVO Shift 4G General

Well I'm thinking of rooting my phone but I don't know what custom things I can do with it. So what can I do if I root my phone? Haha

Is your phone running 2.2 froyo or 2.3.3 gingerbread?

Check the threads.. you currently can't root if your running Gingerbread.

Yea you currently can't root yet but when someone finds a method of rooting here's some of the things you can do
1) wireless tether (free) be able to use your phone as a wireless hotspot for free
2) make full backups of your system to restore to
3) Flash a sense rom that is optimized to speed up your device a lot
4) Flash custom kernels to overclock to speed up the phone and Undervolt to save battery plus more
5) Flash AOSP roms for stock android or flash something like MIUI which is a ROM with a different take on android
6) Batch Backup and restore apps
7) remove unwanted sprint bloatware
Those are just some of the things you can do

How much battery saving can be achieved by Undervolt?

A lot if you take a look at ScaryGhouls thread in the development forum he has a kernel called SUV which is Super UnderVolt and it means he put the kernel at very very low voltages. only some phones can handle the SUV though but he also has a stable one which is still UV'ed a lot. But his SUV one Is my favorite kernel devolped for the shift right now I love it. It saves so much battery. I can almost go a day and a half with it.
But until HTC releases source code he can't make one for sense 2.3.3 he only has one for AOSP roms

No problem. Once the evo 3D gets perm root the evo will shortly after that and then once the evo has it we will have it shortly after THAT.
Now that's not for sure but i would bet money tht will be what happens

to overclock, yes you would need to use setCPU. However, I am unsure whether the smartass governor would take effect whether or not you had setCPU to OC with.
Thanks! I'm new to this but figured it would make no sense to install the kernel with no way to actually OC. I like alot of the roms out but I'm happier with the stock setup the way I've modded it. Removed the bloat I know I'll never use, changed the boot ani, battery icon on status bar....etc. Short press google/long press Genius (the way it should be!)
This phone is amazing once rooted!

It sure is also, while setCPU is a paid app, its increased my speed and battery life several hours beyond that of the normal speeds with no profiles set for screen off or battery level. Well worth the buck, in my opinion.
btw, dont forget the thanks button
Hmmm all I get is boot screen locks or loops. With and with out cache/dalvik wipes. Is it a requirement to have set cpu installed prior to flashing this kernel?

I dunno if this'll help at all, but I'm on pretty much the exact same setup (rooted, stock, removed bloatware, changed battery in status bar, changed genius button to google search, etc.) and faux123's kernel loaded right up for me, I followed his instructions and came from grankin's kernel.
I have SetCPU but I only use it to OC it a bit, I have max to 1209, no profiles. I'm not sure how much it changes and helps, some days it's really good but today it's been unplugged for 3 hours and it's at 80% with a few texts, about 20 min of internet and 20 min on XDA app.

try them both, their both wonderful. i stuck with MIUI for over a month.
I tried both of them and I think they both have their advantages and disadvantages. Right now I went back to 2.2 because NOVA dont work on 2.3. If any of you can play NOVA on cm7 or miui please let me know. MIUI has the lockscreen and pop up messages. As Cm7 has optimization tweaks and Stock aosp feel. I really want to go back but still trying to decide if I should wait.

Hey Alan, I noticed on your CM7 review the voodoo control app has Voodoo Color options. Do you know if this only appears in gingerbread builds maybe?
I have tried to find color options in the Voodoo Control app in 2.2 roms, but all there is, is Voodoo Sound options.
Thanks!
i got bricked, hay what a sad day.
i like MIUI.. i've never tried CM7 and dont know if i will.
i had miui for almost a week until earlier this morning when was playing music using the music widget, it would skip songs or not even finish a whole song then on to the next song.. weird, i didnt like that, it's probably because i was browsing through pictures at the same time on miui gallery ( buggy,makes my phone FC, sluggish) that made the songs skip?. so i went back to 2.2
i like the rom. it's very nice! very customizable and easy on the eyes.. ill get back to it when it becomes stable even if gps is still broken...
Damn! How many apps do you have on your phone Alanrocks? That's nuts! I just counted mine, I have 16 downloaded. But I dont play games on my phone and Im OCD about having too much stuff and any bloat so I keep my apps to a minimum.

New user

New user here, I'd just like to say Hi. I'm usually on the Moto Droid forums. Just got my Nexus S 4g today and I LOVE it.
Rooted running CM7 Nightlies.
I just had a few questions
I understand this phone cant do 720p. Is there a hack that can?
Does RenderFX help battery life? if so, which setting?
What are some roms/kernels you suggest?
Also, ill be working on some Themes for the Nexus S, (I'm a theme designer).
I usually make themes that make the phone look like another phone (iPhone, x10, Atrix 4G)
I'd also like to thank XDA for providing such an active user-base.
Think of a theme and ill try to make it, Thanks
Best battery life rom I found was oxygen. I thought I was going crazy because the battery life was so good. Its great plus you can download voodoo and it has netarchy kernel. Plus its aosp more than stock. Miui is most beautiful theme rich rom but battery life sucks. Cm7 was OK for me just kind of buggy. So I stuck with oxygen. Oh and nope...no camera hacks yet. No HD video or zoom. Sorry.
Hope this helps

For my TASTE, I like decks 1.3d since I had the least amount of issues with, none really. The kernel I have had the best luck with is Matr1x 6.0 cfs. I like the fact that it has voodoo if needed, bln and bld now. Since I updated to 6.0 I have had no lockups or reboots period. I don't change the speed or volting just the govenor (sp). They are smooth together. But for what its worth phones might not like the same thing as another.
I have tried just about every rom on xda for the ns4g.
Decks
Miui
Ice and fire
Stock rooted
Oyxgen
Kings
But I don't want to try cm7 as to battery life when I get well over 12hrs of use daily and no nightlys cause it seems like something is always broke. No offense to either or anyone, just what I prefer.

V6 supercharger

I was wondering if anyone here was using the v6 supercharger I found on the evo section on the shift?
Sent from my speedy miui with 1.9 of overclocked goodness..
Yes i have used v6 supercharger script and it works very well. Just make sure the rom you are running doesnt already have ram script built in. I cant remember what settings i used, i know i used 12 (bulletproof launcher) and i think it was 3, or 8 but im not sure. I run mikshiftedG and the latest update has juwe11's ramscript built in so not really a need for v6 anymore...

Have used V6 SuperCharger. Don't need it now, but it does work very well . You just have to experiment to find the right settings for your use.

Nope... The script manager app needs root to run. Meaning every reboot you would have to re-temp root your device start script manager and choose your options.

Quickest But Stable Roms

I am currently running Andromadus Mimicry, but I have found it to be quite slow. Has anyone experienced any quick, but stable roms.
Thanks
Another one of these?
Whatever one you use that meets your expectations. There are people here that will run ICS without issues, but state they have issues with Jelly Bean or Gingerbread. It is all a matter of what works for you.
That being said, CM7 based ROMs are your best bet. They are the most developed and mature for the device.

Thanks, I ran CM7 for a while, but found it quite slow and laggy on my g2. I was just wondering if anyone had found any quick ICS roms.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
If you find Andromadus Mimicry and CM7.2 too slow, than I’m afraid you need a new phone
Minicry might not be 100% stable, but it is pretty close. I think the ICS (or JB) would not be significantly faster even with official HTC kernel (without hacks).
You can overclock your phone and try different governors. This way you can improve the “smoothness” at a cost of battery life. Also be sure you are running ext4 filesystem. And a fast SD card may help too, check if it is at least class 8.
Mimicry flies for me at 1.5ghz
Andromadus test builds with JellyBean are the fastest of all I've tested so far (cm7.*, cm9.*, MIUI, stock sense ROMs etc.). There are some bugs however (in latest build - #71 - for example camera stopped working), but speed, smoothness, and all JB-related-features of this ROM are really outstanding. I believe, that all annoying bugs will be smashed really soon and my G2 will last until new nexus comes out.

Both of them tend to have some VERY slow slowdown periods, where I have to take out the battery, just to get It responsive.
When I try to overclock it, anything higher than about 1209 (with smartass governor) gives me a bootloop.

I'm coming from GB + CM7 rom, is the new JB or ICS much faster and still retain the phone's full functionality? I'm considering changing to Andromadus Minicry ICS/CM9. Currently, there is considerable lag when I just try to open up e-mail or respond to a text msg.
If there is much improvements, I rather just stay with my current build try not fix something that isn't (completely) broken. Is there a good way to migrate current apps over to the new rom? I'm currently running some crack apps that may not be available anymore.

Sense beyond 2.1/3.5(gingerbread) generally speaking is too much bloat for desirez/g2, sense 4.0A would be fine cept its been worsen and slowed down with the 3.0 kernel for sake of a working camera. The full sense 4.0 they took the kernel from is slow to the point of practically unusable on our devices.

Jelly bean still has a bit of work to put into, but there are plenty of fast ICS roms (non-sense) out there with "functional" camera app (post-gb its mainly the camera people complain about)
I've found for me, ICS to be quicker/smoother than stock or CM7.2.
Regarding apps (while I don't condone piracy) titanium backup would be the solution, assuming said apps are compatible with ICS.

If you want sense, flash sense 4.0 by geneysense it thinks the name. And then use romcleaner and flash after you flash rom and its smmoooth
Hmm, for some reason, Mimicry is giving some trouble with my google account syncing. I am trying CM9 now, to se what its like.

PS: "CM9" by Jerl is not CM9 Official (ie: it didn't come from the cyanogenmod people), it's just bout the same (if not worse in my opinion) than Mimicry which is based off Andromadus which is based off Cyanogenmod 9's source. Though if you do try Jerl's port of it, I strongly advise you not to use the 3.0 kernel, too many problems with it and he apparently didn't bother testing it before releasing it (or least didn't bother to tell people the risk).
Far as google account syncing, it depends on whether or not you made sure to flash google apps afterwards, and if you accidently booted prior to flashing it, then you need to make sure to remove all your accounts on the phone then re-add them as it says in the OP of that thread.
