Kind of bumbed. Just got my brother's old hero for my daughter...was going to make it a cm7 media player. Well, hoping for cm9. Hope there is still enough support. Any recommendations for a rom? I have run cm7 and liquid sense. She uses my rooted evo on 3.5 sense and cm7 nook color all the time.

You might want to go with one of Jaybob's rom from TeamHeroC, they have always been fast and non-buggy. CM6 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731659
or CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090234 and also wouldnt hurt to throw in juwes RAM optimization script which can be found on Yaam. You can make these roms blazing fast and perfect for an alternative phone soley for music.
If you have experience with Firerats customs MTD partition ( http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Firerat's_Custom_MTD_Partitions_(HeroC) ) This is another great thing to add so you dont have to worry about apps2sd.

Q: Rooted phone. Now what?

Okay, so I rooted my phone and updated to the latest SprintLovers ROM. It's nice but, I would like a nice non-senseui ROM. Either that, or a FAST senseui ROM. I think it just slows down my phone. I purchased ADW Launcher-EX for my rooted Nook and would like to find a ROM that I could possibly use that on. The best solution would be a ROM that maybe has sense but allows it to be deselected. With most sense based ROMs, sense stays running in the background even if you use something else.
Also, I would like to try overclocking my phone. I see some of the kernels in the wiki but, how so I flash? I currently use AR recovery but, I would prefer to use Clockworks for Rom Manager (since it is required). I purchased the license for Rom Manager but, it just errors.
Also, what are other good tools to use. I purchased SetCPU and ROM Manager. Are there other tools for rooted phones that are as important as those two?
Please forgive the noob style questions. I finally decided to root my phone even though I got it the day they were released. I am trying to get a little more life out of it, while I wait for Sprint to releaser the "next best thing".
IMHO CM7 nighties is by far the best no sense rom
CM6 is a stable release but CM7 (to me) kicks azz --- check it out & enjoy
Tools... everybody has what they like best. I can say as a 2 month (or so) rooted evo owner. Trial and error is the best way to learn. After that, everything you read starts to make sense!
you can always find help in the forums if somthing goes wrong
I personally like the Azreal X 4.0 rom which is a sprint like sense rom. and the SBC kernel. Which allows for over clocking. Look at my signature and search in xda for download.
MIUI is my favorite AOSP ROM. It's got the performance of CM, without the blandness.

It requires AOSP kernels, like any AOSP ROM. The one that it comes with is pretty damn good though, I have found no reason to use any other one. It's stable, I have had ZERO reboots, and fast as hell. 1700+ quadrant scores with no overclocking.

I went to the download like and they said something about the cameras. Are they working in 1.2.4?
I'm on 1.1.28 and my camera works fine. I have never had any camera issues with any of the builds that I've tried. I have an older 003 evo though, I'm not sure about 004s.
I've tried Cm7 and 6 and to me 6 is quicker and more stable. Paired with savaged kernel v5 and you can't go wrong

I tried it. My quadrant score was only 1100 with it. I noticed that the kernel was overclocked in it but, setcpu was set to 1Ghz from my titanium backup. Maybe that's why. I didn't like the iPhone look-and-feel of it though. I went to warm twopoint and like it. I may play around with this one for a while.

Team Toxic Presents "Toxic Crazy8" Froyo Gone Crazy on Ginger"
It has some features that will give you what you want like..
Tweak to make phone stop attempting signal location once strongest signal is found.
Build prop edit to make phone sleep in standby (decreasing battery drain)
More edits and tweaks to optimize speed and stability.
V6 Supercharge Option
You get scriptmanager app to apply whichever script from the v6 supercharge that you want.. the more aggressive, the less apps it keeps in memory, the less apps, the more snappy-- any running app gets as much ram as it might need so doesn't slow down. The tradeoff.. if you want to go to a previously running app, it won't continue where it left off like you might with stock memory profiles. NOTE: it doesn't work like an auto task killer, it decides how the OS allocated the ram.
Just flash the same kernel you are already using over that rom. The best part of it is, that rom does have exceptional battery life, so if you are going to overclock.. then that rom would be a good marriage for the combo of snappy performance and longevity.
Same as Naturallight here, CM just doesn't work on my phone.
I've tried every install method available and it just sits there twitching like it's having some sort of fit
None of the habitatc buttons work, they won't even light up, gps doesn't lock at all (it can't even see 1 satellite) 911 doesn't work at all.
I don't know what all the hubub is about but from where I'm sitting, CM is worse than going back to 1.1 stock

EI22 roms and why

Ok so I know every one has a different reason for why they like a certain rom.
We have great devs here I have tried the following
Legendary
Acs
Clean Gb
All of them rock and are all different as they are similar.
If you have tried more than one tell me why you stuck with it over the others.
I know the hardcore ACs and Legendary ppl will vote for theirs but only chime in if you have tried more than one. even if the other is not on my list..
Maybe this discussion will help me choose and maybe help other also.

stepped out for a while and back in
I stepped out for a while and am trying to update my phone. I am so out I do not know how active the forum has been . This is exactly the information I am looking for and am still going to try to dig up . I hope that there is such a thread and that is why this did not take. . .or maybe that the forums are so bustling that there are no less than productive awesomeness going on behind the curtains. . .or hopefully because of the holiday or something because it would be a shame if such a useful thread died a lonely death because there was no evaluating releases thread.
Have no idea. . .just hoping it is as easy to find as the OP intended . . .if not i hope I come back after I was forced to find this info on my own.
I would love some non loyalist (or even loyalists to some extent but not flooding) thread like this.
Thanks OP for at least trying.
Edit: Ok . . .so maybe I was a bit premature in my . . . . .rant. Sorry if this is the case.
I ran Legendary 4.0.1 since it was released and found it to lack nothing. I just switched to ACS 5.1 because the list of mods fit more with my preferences as well as I like the theme better.
Running legendary rom since v3 or so. Why? cause everything just seems to work.
For the theme, I flashed ics v1 on top of legendary rc1 and everything seems to work ok.
It's tough to find a rom with ACS/Legendary features that uses a no-theme approach like the clean GB rom. I'm on Legendary pre-RC because of the theming... and yes, I understand a different one can be flashed on top of it, but this seems to cause more problems than not from experience.
Anyone here remember Energy roms from the WM days? The cook offered them in no less than 6-10 flavors at a time with different kernel builds, homescreen utilities, themes, etc. Is this the only way to please both the "stock look high performance" and "themeed complete rom" crowds?
Not sure if you call this an EI22 Rom but çm7 is rocking my phone as we speak. I also liked starsky rom very reliable and great performance. CPK's Urban Tom is great yet there seems to be A ram leak which cause freezing. Not sure of the cause though, not blaming cpk or the IAP kernel though w/o proof.

personally i use ICS 5.5 and CM7 because With the devs for ACS i know im in good hands. If a bug arises they fix it almost immediately. As for why i use CM7 thats not even a question IMO. It is the fastest rom you can put on this phone, and the only reason i have a backup rom is for when I need to use things that CM7 cant do simply because they havent been added yet (the number is getting smaller quickly.). I also would recommend trying out CompKids rom because it is a work of art. He tends to not update as much as a lot of the other roms but thats simply because there are a lot of other projects he is working on. But whats great about it is that it has tweaks and code that no other roms have. If you really want a stock feel though i think its safe to stick with Legendary Rom or even just Clean GB. Ive tryed both and though they lacked the theme customization I wanted they were incredibly stable and fast.
I was running Legendary Rom since switching from ACS Frozen Froyo rom. For some reason, the last two versions of Legendary did not agree with my Epic as there was a significant rotation lag. I switched over to ACS ICS for that reason, found that it resolved my rotation lag issue, liked the theme but most importantly all the functions I need to work work with ICS. CM7 still does not have WiMax working, which I use from time to time so it won't be flashed until then (run CM7 on my Nook Color).

Energy was as best as you got on WM. I liked the choices you had as far as the UI. But nothing beats Android OS in my mind.
I'm running SleeperROM for its stability and excellent battery life. It's a little bland as far as looks go, but I will sacrifice looks for performance. But I have put the nebula theme over it, and laid down Roboto font. This thing is a beast!

So far using stock OTA EI22 is the worst smart phone experience I've ever had. Did they even test this before releasing it?
As for the roms I usually flash... I like roms that is closet to stock as possible due to liking the stock widgets and stock apps. The only stock app that annoys me is nascar, sprint football, hd games store, Asphalt 5, and Telenav.
I'll probably be switching over to CM once all the bugs are squished, and I'll end up buying launcher pro plus for the widgets (I've heard they're really high quality).
EI22 is likely the last major update for our phones, and anything other than bug fixes is out of the question. If we are lucky, we'll get an official bug fix to EI22.

Need advice, can't find a good ROM

Hello everyone, for a little while I've been trying to find an ideal ROM for daily use, nothing fancy but something that meets my needs;
Most of all I need it to send/receive calls reliably and have decent battery life. I don't quite want something really flashy though eye candy makes the phone feel new & updated but functionality is more important to me. Here's a quick list of thing that I NEED working:
-Ability to disable data roaming (rules out express)
-4G (rules out all MIUI)
-Smooth video camera 720p without being choppy (rules out synergy)
-No random bugs ie, lock screen, weather, clocks (just the basics)
If you have tried or know of any currently available ROMs that fit this criteria please point me in the right direction, I'm so tired of flashing all these different ROMS only to find out that one of the things listed was not mentioned under the ROM description where I downloaded it, I know most of them claim to be bug-free but there is no such thing as bug free ROM unless I go back to stock, and I understand that so I'm not looking for the holy grail, just something that works for what I need it to do.
phone is rooted & running amon-ra recovery
Thanks in advance

Best I know Rom

I think the most stable Rom out is MikG v3.1 It's a sense 2.1 3.0 Rom with a Ton of themes and mods that can be mixed to suit your style. Because of the hardware we have on the EVO there's only so much you can get out of it. Anything above 3.0 doesn't play nice with our phones. I've tested and read about every Rom out there and MikG v3.1 running Anthrax kernel with v6 Superscript & 3G turbo is the best.
my sense load is mikg 3.XX and my aosp load is aokp m4. both worked flawlessly.
wow I am blown away by Tomatoe's express
tons of space left after flash & installing all my apps also fast & smooth.
Reset the battery & unplugged it yesterday morning and now it's been over 24 hours since I last charged it, talked for at least an hour, sent & received some texts, had wifi on the entire time, as mentioned I've been downloading stuff off the market & even played pandora for at least half an hour and right now the battery still has 38% left, I wanted to test all the other ROMs mentioned but I find it hard getting out of this comfort spot I find myself in now that I have everything set up the way I like it

I may be wrong since I'm starting to forget what I have & have not tried yet but have you had trouble with video cam at 720p? again I could be wrong but I wanna say that I experienced choppy recording from mikG, I like sense 3.0 most when it comes to look & feel so I might give it a try....
I'm still very amazed by tomatoe's express, my excitement will wear off in a day or two I am sure haha
on a side note, I may have found a problem with express (or my google voice!!)
I have over 50% reception in my home, and since last night I've seen 2 missed calls on my google voice inbox but the phone never rang, could this be the ROM or Google?

Best way to turn Evo 4G into media player?

So I have an Evo which I don't use for anything. It has not number on it and I don't need it as a back up. I use it only for listening to music (speaker only) and taking and watching videos. Sometime I may connect it to wifi to download a certain app or to watch something on YouTube. So this thread could be called a survey I guess? But what's the best ROM out here for me to put on the phone in my case? I basically want battery life + performance + louder speaker (the Evo speaker sucks compared to my other phones sadly). I flashed the 4 kornerz (sorry if I misspelled) ROM and flashed the beats audio and the underworld kernel, but noticed a lag after flashing that kernel so I re-flashed the stock kernel.
I have not had time to actually use it and test out how it goes with my usage but I think it'll be alright?
I have also used Energy ROM (kills my batttery too quick) and CM7 (phone speaker isn't loud enough) so what other ROMs would you recommend for me? Or what mods or kernels would work with 4kornerz ROM that would ensure better battery life?

That's exactly the kind of answer I'm looking for thanks =). I thought about trying an ICS build but wasn't too sure if I wanted to because I thought it might have some bugs or be laggy or have not so great battery life or sound quality decreased. But I'm going to test out 4 kornerz for a bit then will try your settings next. Thanks for the reply =).
Wait.. what's the ROM your using lol? When I first read it I thought you were talking about one of the ICS builds but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I'm not very familiar with every ROM out here because I barely use the Evo but can you post the link to the ROM? Or at least tell me what's the title of its thread lol? And also your kernel pleeeaseee.

Decks 1.3d is his famous Gingerbread build. Search for it and you can't miss it. The thread title has decks, and. 1.3d in it I believe. It is legendary for being the best AOSP Gingerbread ROM with the best battery life and stability. Coupled with that kernel the above user mentioned, it will give you tremendous battery life! Much better than ICS at this beta phase.

Well I did find it and I will try flashing it as soon as I can. Is the stock kernel that comes with it the one that was recommended to me? Or where can I find the other kernel?
And I'm just kinda starting to get confused. Some people are saying 1.3 and some are saying 1.3d. Which one is better..? Logically thinking I would say 1.3d would be better since it probably just contains little fixes and nothing major updated but those little fixes may be a big problem to me without them so I think ill try out 1.3d unless I am told not to.

if you were having issues with cm7 you may experience the same with Deck's as his is just a custom version of cm7, yet designed to operate on Sprint more effectively.
You say the speaker wasn't loud enough with cm7? Did you adjust the settings in DSP manager?
I have 3 EVO's, 2 operational and on is my 3 year old's "phone," he is an angry bird addict! I have the phone on constant airplane mode and simply turn on wifi when I would like to connect. We are constantly asking him to turn it down so no sound problems here.
I would recommend the cm 7.2 rc1 from the cyanogenmod website, and don't forget gapps.
Again Deck's is based on cm7 though he hasn't updated in a long time and there have been many many improvements to the cm source since he stopped building. Cm7 is also still a work in progress, they are not dropping support for it, though they may bring cm9 to the EVO eventually 7 is the current supported version.
Honestly, I think the advice above is sound, but I still recommended deck 1.3 with Mason v14 kernal without hwa. Or if you want more battery, flash the slightly less stable v15rc G version. G for nonhwa. And then I would clock down to about 850mhz as your Max (don't know the exact value but the performance settings in deck shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out) and then use the wheatley kernel if you're on v15rc or intellidemandx if you're on 14. Smartassv2 would be my recommended governor, but it doesn't play well with media when the screen is off so you take your choice.

Well sound was only a problem to me because I have an Epic 4G which, stock v.s stock, is louder. And I've tried CM7 on my epic and loved it but the sound was a problem the same as on the Evo. But I guess I would give up sound for better battery life lol. I'm going to flash deck's 1.3 right now. But I still can't seem to find the kernels you guys are talking about can someone please post the link to the thread?

So I just flashed the rom with the kernel.
I'm having one tiny problem.
I didn't install gapps (don't really need it) so I tried to bluetooth a file explorer.
I've noticed with bluetooth on the phone reboots? (It happened twice so far)
Ill keep trying the ROM out and see if I have more reboots. If its just bluetooth related then its not a problem

One more thing. Not sure if its the ROM or my phone but the power button seems to not work so well. It turns off the screen normally but turning the screen back on is the problem. It doesn't turn on by just pressing it I have to hold it down and then the power menu pops up and the screen turns on.

What ROM and kernel did you flash? Sleepiness is due to kernel undervolting issues... or kernel related at least. Bluetooth would be the same I would gather... sounds like stock kernel for you!
My original EVO loved underclocking, and I could squeeze a few precious hours out of the battery with the right kernel, governor and voltages. My replacement however will not undervolt at all... not even 25 mA... so each evo is different. I am of the opinion that stock is going to give you the best overall performance.

...are you guys kidding me right now???
Mason kernel is for ICS, as in not Gingerbread so it will break things on Decks 1.3... come on man!!!
If you really want a great experience just flash CM 7.2 please and leave it be because those guys know Android and what it needs to love you long time... I apologize for the inconvenience of bad information...

But on the kernel's thread it said for "AOSP ROMs" and I did flash it and it worked. It does say it would also work on ICS tho.
I think I may just go to CM7 tho.
The april 8th update is better than the official one?

Here is what you want...
CM 7.2
Wipe:
All/factory reset
Cache
dalvik cache
System
Boot
Then flash the ROM, no gapps for you if you don't want.
Mason says it apparently works on GB or ICS, but I don't see how that could actually be possible... though I am not a kernel dev... but your issues do seem to stem from a kernel issue...
I'd imagine using a sense kernel based rom like swagged out stock N would get you the best musical results, since it has a kernel that was specifically built for the EVO, and not something AOSP generic. Maybe throw the zip file in for beat audio, or use poweramp instead.
Swagged out stock N 2.0.9 with universal aggressive lionfish 1.8 is doing REALLY well for me. It uses the go launcher, instead of sense.
haha luckily ICS is based off of a GB Kernel, Tiamat. Mason has two flavors of his popular kernel, the "G" version which CAN be used for Gingerbread AND NON-HWA ICS Roms, and the "I" version which is strictly used for HWA enabled ICS roms.
also jamieg71 has aosp gb build that is being updated more recently if you wanna check that out havent run it personally but if its anything like his ics build it will be great
