Sticking with stock - EVO 4G General

I rooted my EVO 4G which came with GB preloaded, have tried a few different ROM's but have found that none are as good as stock. I had the HTC Hero for a while running CM and it was pretty good, however for the EVO to many things don't work just right with alot of these ROMS. The GB stock for the EVO is pretty good on battery. What really bothers me with CM is the camera doesn't work with Skype, and with Qik either. Can't wait for a final stable to come from CM.

I suggest you get a stock sprint rom from on here that removes all the clutter sprints forces on its stock rom that comes with the phone. Will make your experience a bit faster and may improve battery life a bit.
You could also try setcpu to underclock your phone when the screen is off in order to save battery.

There is no way and I repeat NO WAY that stock GB runs better than any rom on this forum. It's overloaded with bloatware and all sorts of other memory hogs. With you being certified in both apple and pc, you should be able to notice this. You should try out other roms other than CM7. There's other good stuff out there. I would give synergy or synergy kingdom a try.

+1 for synergy aswell, using it and loving it so far

Does everything work on synergy? Including skype and qik video calls?

Because the video calls don't work in CM7 that's why I'm asking. Also had problems switching front and back cameras.

As much respect as I have for the devs on here I kind have to agree with the op. I have been running from stock roms for over a year and have tried them all. I like alot of the features the devs put in them but I can't seem to find one that is the end all rom. I recently got a tablet and flashed haus stock gb and love it. I can still feather, battery is good and everything works. Still swap prls at will. Got hdmi out on the tab so that's not a concern. Just my two pennies but please devs don't stop doing what you do. The more you guys do the more you and we learn. I will still continue my flashing addiction now that I have boot manager. Lol

Are you sure its not just a bad flash or something?
Front camera works fine on 180 nightly for me I just checked.

Can you switch cameras within skype or qik?

I've experimented with a couple of roms but I usually find myself going back to the stock configuration too. Trying Synergy now, maybe it will woo me away.

I tried synergy when I first rooted a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure that I wasn't able to switch from front camera to back camera within video apps and that's what made me go back to stock, same problem with cm7.

Same here. I'll continue trying new roms if for no other reason than it's just fun firing up a new one... But contrary to most everything I have read on these forums, the stock configuration seems to get the best battery life.

Yeah I wouldnt mind hearing from someone that came from say CM5 to the latest stock Froyo. Is it better? Is it worth flashing now seeing as how CM6 is about a week or so away?
I would try it now myself, but I can't give up the dumb little things. (such as trackball wake)
I've used every CM version and every leaked version of Froyo. I was surprised that the final Froyo release seemed faster and smoother than FRF83. The browser seems really fast now and app switching is great thanks to JIT. I like my FRF85B Froyo final setup right now more than I did CM5.0.8. I can't wait for CM6 though.
Super. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you Google and anyone else on the OHA that contributed to this.
It's great. I love it. I love it even more when someone hands me a HTC Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile on it... Microsoft shouldn't even be in the mobile business. They should leave it to the experts. It was sad.
If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it.

Look at my sig pic, WM is all I ever used for years. I dabbled with android with emulators on my Fuze, then finally made the jump when the N1 was released. After using it for 1 day, I was emotional.
I really can't think of one single thing I miss with WM...

I don't think the JIT would have much impact on app switching. The highmem kernel OTOH makes a huge difference. My launcher was always relaunching when switching from big apps such as the browser or navigation. Since upgrading to froyo I haven't seen the launcher restart once.

Yeah you are probably right. I just thought I read somewhere that JIT had benefits for loading apps, it might have just been for 3rd party apps because JIT converts to native code before processing (something like that).

The JIT actually wouldn't have any impact on loading times. The standard interpreted code is always run initially. It's only once the app starts running that the JIT is able to locate frequently accessed blocks of code that would benefit from compiling to native code.

I too have used CyanogenMod since I had my G1. I DID play with, and greatly enjoy the Froyo ROM when it was released by PaulObrien.
But I did miss some of Cyanogens special additions, so I went back to it a few weeks ago.
Now with the latest Froyo out, I may change over - AGAIN!

hahaha, funny you mentioned that.
A co-worker of mine approached me, and said he bought this Androidâ„¢ phone from a friend. He heard that I know about Android, rooting, apps, etc. so he had some questions for me. He hands me the phone, and I was thrilled to hold this LARGE HTC DEVICE in my hand. I haven't held an EVO, yet, so imagine my joy!!! My first time ya know so I was honored.
It was branded T-MOBILE though ... hhmm, this can't be right!!! It should say Sprint!!!
After seeing the homescreen and tapping/flicking/swiping for all of 1.0 seconds, I handed it back to him and told him he has a Windows Mobile device - NOT ANDROID, and boy oh boy, was he pissed!!!! LMAO
Poor guy!
"If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it."
I let him play with my Nexus for a few minutes. He offered to buy it from me for $450 .... nuh uh homeboy! This is my baby!

This phone lacks vs. G1... for now

I came from using G1 but now bricked due to deathspl... and actually waited for this phone to come. Ran into several problems I picked up on over the months since launch..
Bluetooth seems to be configured depending on headset. For example, using my motorola s9 hd works perfect.. but my jawbone only picks up calls no media support. Where as on G1 it will have full support.. I have another stereo bluetooth but only plays media and no phone support.
Majority of the time I download from youtube.. tubedroid favorite. But I found the hardware plays downloaded videos off sync.. the visual plays then sound comes on half sec or so later. I tested this on other youtube apps and found similar results. Yxplayer seems to play the videos correctly however.
One thing I notice is multi touch seems to support no more than 2 spots.. zoom on browser works but I noticed problems when playing megaman zero on gameboid. Cannot charge shot/jump/dash at same time. I already informed the dev but they say its the hardware..
My 2 questions are. Will future custom roms. Be able to fix these problems. And if so, will I be flamed for posting this in the android development section?
I have had my g1 from before it offically came out and man this phone is 20x better then the g1. Do u know how buggy the g1 was when it first came out especially with the bluetooth. I have no problems using icon bluetooth headset or my moto h690

Most of the problems you list, multi touch and bluetooth, could have probably been improved by developers and included into the rom you used. As for tubedroid, if it is an app that doesn't have anymore updates, it's likely that the application was made for use on a G1 and the development was stopped, so of course it would be perfectly compatible for the G1. You have to take in consideration that the G1 has a big group of developers improving it where the slide was released just a bit over a month ago.
Ok lemmie give you a low down :l have you noticed android has been shipping out new phones like its a christmas sale well they dont have time to fix all the kinks so they fix what they seem like is what most people would use and update the frameware later to fix the other problems. And many slide roms improve on the MTS

You're an idiot, Android is the product of the Android Open Source Project. They do not make the phones. Legally any manufacturer can ship an Android non-Google branded device without Google's consent (albeit, lack of gapps).
Froyo, as every Android release, is coming with updated Bluetooth drivers and will fix many bugs found in Eclair and Donut. Gingerbread most likely will as well.

I came in late with the G1 so i was able to pick up on roms that fixed much of the problems. I remember I flashed a rom and was upset the bluetooth wasn't working properly. Stupid me didn't realize the rom was still in beta. I just find it so weird all 3 of my bluetooths have different support for this phone.

to put it in perspective. The G1 was Marilyn Monroe, The Slide is Khloe Kardashian (Kim with her Big Ole Kadunkadunk would have to be the mighty Galaxy S Variant dropping tomorrow).
They both have they're place and are hot in their own ways, but just like the comparison women the slide is is great underneath its outer shell with revamped cpu, room to grow and nice and trim in all the right places.

seriously though, our taste in women must differ greatly. Marilyn had a nice shapely butt, imo.
I guess I have a thing for the old school women. Anyways... when we get an update for the MTS... the kernel can be hacked and the CPU can be amped up more like it should be. My old G1 is dead even in linpack scores at 3.5 MF with my MTS running slide Mr1 v4. I'm sure the froyo beta would put it ahead at around 4.5-6 MF. I heard of some folks getting like 7-8mf but I'm not sure if I believe that...

Eeeek! That's fast! JIT is doing it's job. Man, I wish we could figure out a way to enable JIT on 2.1! I've been working on it tonight with no luck so far.
I tried the old libdvm.so file but just bootloops, lol! That's what's making froyo so damn fast. Plus, built in a2sd isn't working on froyo yet nor camera/camcorder right? I really need stability and the froyo tease won't do anything but make me angry, lol! I know folks are saying it's stable for everyday use but I don't know...
Its pretty stable been about a week for me no random fc's only thing that bugs me is that I can't get flash to work when I take a picture.just do a nandroid and give it a shot I promises you the speed will make you stock with it.

Yeah, the camera drivers definatly are perfected yet. I tried it last night and wow its fast! Even with lwp running with all my widgets. Yep, its twice as fast as slidemr1 v4.... the only bummer is that I couldn't get a2sd to work. I formatted the whole SD to fat32 and still nothing. No partitions either. I guess I could play with it more... flashed back last night because I ran out of time. I might just wait a bit longer for a more stable Rom. But it was fun for sure...

Fully COMPLETE Roms discussion....

Ok I really disappointed in the Xperia x10 development section.
The only usable Roms are based on 2.1. Now these roms are fantastic. Really do the job well and I would class them as fully operational.
Now the other threads based on 2.2,2.3,MIUI etc are indeed under development. Some excellent work going on and if the 3 Musketeers could only project manage then Im sure a full working rom would be achieved.
So really Im wondering why XDA does not have a full working rom section that allows noobs like myself to go to to download knowing its a fully tested working rom?
Now before the fanboys jump all over me I would state that I am a donator to worthwhile causes and development but seriously the roms released so far can in no way be advertised as stable enough for daily use. It is a phone after all....eg. In one prominent thread today a developer is congratulated for releasing a rom that cannot make a telephone call.......Yesterday one was congratulated for an update that doesnt allow the phone to even switch on!
I do notice in the majority of other areas of XDA there are plenty of full working roms for other devices. Im fully aware that SE's security on this device has so far made it impossible to cook a newer version of android without using old parts.
So perhaps the x10 forum sections do indeed need an area for full working roms. Id presume the developers would also like this so they can transfer there work to it when completed and in return be suitable rewarded for there efforts.
Your thoughts?
I'm releasing a gingerbread rom today with everything working! Oh hai jk guise nothing works lulz
On a serious note, free x10 has been great to me..only issue is camcorder, but it is otherwise perfect

Thanks for your reply. I did indeed try this ROM but I was getting way to many errors in my day to day use for it to be considered stable for daily use. I was also not keen on the support from developer. I believe he has been MIA now for a considerable time....
I do fully understand though that without that developer I would not have been able to do the majority of things I have done to my phone....Hopefully this ROM will one day be Fully working and can be classified as such...
Weird I have not had a single issue... I use my phone a lot too.
I've been using wolfbreaks 2.2.1 CM6.1.3 for about ten days and it's stable. No stock videocam but flash & apps2sd more than make up for it. Very quick and aesthetically pleasing.

Ever think maybe it's you? I've been keeping up with the free x10 thread and most people don't report errors other than the camcorder..
non working camera and videocam is a deal breaker for me, therefore still sticking with official.

I think it's a great idea, but it will be difficult because of the word "fully worked/stable" (what for one person is stable is not for another)
Sure you could put that section in but don't expect to see a single rom that is 2.2+ in there. I realistically as much as i hope I'm wrong don't expect to ever see one in there. This phone is pretty much at the end of it's run now and the bootloader is still locked with no intention from SE to unlock it due to certain copyrighted materials and the such. Sad but a fact i think we all need to start facing.
I almost think we're at the point where there is very little more that can be done other than variations of the same roms already available.
Please do not take this as a shot at the devs as i have much respect for the work they do and without them my phone wouldn't be half what it is today. But in my opinion its time to stop wishing and hoping for things that just aren't in the cards with this particular piece of hardware.
did you come here just to complain? atleast they are making something and wasting thier time for us stop moaning and if your unhappy then dont flash the roms otherwise be happy with what you get.

The FreeX10 (beta4) is still 2.2.1 (I'm using it as we speak, very stable, I can't complain). The only 2.3 ROM I've seen discussed for the SE Xperia x10 is Cyanogen CM7.0 RC1 v005 Gingerbread 2.3.3, which --based on current thread discussion, I haven't tried it myself-- appears to be very unstable at this time.
If there's another 2.3 ROM for the X10 circulating the forums, I haven't seen it. Then again, I haven't really looked through the entire thread.
great
I like what this was supposed to become but not what it s actually.
I'm also a new x10 user, I come from htc desire (z). and I was happy to see that it was far more easy to root the x10i and remove the root when the phone has to go for reparation.
It was not my intention to come and play with different roms, but deu to a wrong installation of a theme I had to instal a custom rom. Now, I like the stock X10 interface. so I'm looking for roms who runs better as the stock rom but look more or less the same...
any suggestions?

Not true. I don't have those issues, and neither does Eternity, Blue Sparks, etc.
I think this is a good idea, but in practice would fail. There are FAR too few "fully functional" ROMs to warrant a separate forum. Maybe we should just start using [STABLE] tags or something.
There would seriously be like 5 legit posts in that forum, and then it would get filled up with crap till it's unusable.
for u, i think the stock rom and the JIT mod will do it for u if u like the stock rom =)

Agreed, I love this ROM. Quick, no hiccups, great look and feel, comes with great features just overall very good development job on this ROM. I didn't have to do really anything to it, it came pretty much perfect
I second the shoutout to the Dev team for this one
Edit: Don't like the cap on the Overclock feature but can understand why it was put in place. Speacking of that does anyone know the consistent clock speed the vibrant can handle without damaging the hardware?

works fine for me. battery issues all of a sudden, but thats another thread.

Why so many broken roms whats good?

So I would like the latest and greatest, but seems like so many roms being released in dev forum are missing a lot of functionality or broken. The only rom that I ever kept and still am using is called "Koni's Elite" something. Is there a sense 3 rom that has gps,4g,sprint hotspot, gapps etc etc all working? Why do people even release broken stuff in the first place.

The Elite 3 is sweet he is coming out with a Elite 4 be4 long. The latest rom's aren't really broken they are built off the latest OTA leak and some other leaks. So it's all for eye candy and something new for people to mess with.
Until sprint does the OTA update the latest roms that are built off leaks are buggy. They are waiting on sprints OTA to get all the info and fix all the bugs that are in the builds so until then they are just working with what they have.
Try kings rom or CM7 there nice. The Devs do what people wanna have and see and have. They want more eye candy something new even if it's broken or buggy. So there working pretty hard to keep things going.
No there is no sense 3.0 that is out or anything that is built off it that isn't bug free yet.
Hope this helps PM me if you want to know of some other roms that not buggy and are nice.
CM7 is all you need...........
CM7 is great to use waiting till they fix most of the bugs or till the next stable build comes out. If you use CM7 keep it update they had to fix a security issue with the older builds. This is a sweet rom tho. Nice clean.
King's rom out of this world is fast decent battery life.
Virus rom's are nice.
Look in the Dev's list wiki.
Myn's Warm Point 2.2 is sweet
Mik's Rom is fast and looks great.

Go back to stock and stop taking up space in the general forum with questions which should be in the Q&A forum.
Really? These people put in their free time without pay DEVELOPING rom's to work on our phones. That is why it is called development. They release it to us "broken" so we can test it and help them in the development, and because it is fun for us. If it is that much of an inconvenience for you then either don't flash it or develop a ROM yourself that is bug free. These guys work around the clock to try to bring you the latest ROM/leak free of bugs. It is not as easy as you might think.
Lol there are still good roms out there im happy we get to test things without having to pay a big ass feee to try. Since it's free and you can edit it makes it a playground for good stuff to happen oh yea
CM7 is the latest and greatest (AOSP) and is fully functional minus 720p recording.
Tapa tapa tapa

Thanks. That cleared things quite a bit. I will give CM7 a shot bc I can live without 720p recording on a crappy camera. Didnt mean to sound unappreciative of the communities efforts.
King cocoa 2 is awesome

Pick one. Can't have both.
Tonights nightly of cm7 (nightly 78 I believe) is virtually bug free. Except 720p video and cm6 stuff which doesn't really count anyways.

If you like sense roms try Fresh EVO 4.0.0.4 Beta. I have only encountered one issue with wifi tethering and down grading to an earlier version of the app solved the issue for me. I think the rom is very solid

Thanks. I've done a couple of basic Evo roms, but I really don't have too much free time on my hands these days. I have two little kids at home, and working full time, plus 2 part time jobs to pay the bills. It's expensive to pay rent and support a family here in California -- super expensive!
