No offense intended, but if a phone is anyones best choice of their life, then I pity them...
I love the G2, but not as much as my wife or dog.
what's the P/N? it's on the bottom of box or under the battery.
is hinge loose?
Anyone else feel Rom development is coming slow after root was achieved, custom time now are either a nearly stock desire sense Rom or cm's vanilla ROM, I haven't flashed a new Rom in a week

Ditto, I remember seeing you in the vibrant section. I just got my g2 2 days ago, sold my vibrant yesterday.
No complaints at all so far and I think this is a killer phone. Much happier now.
Dear Mr Root.
Please hear our prayers to root our Gingerbread devices!! Everyone knows that stock rom's are just plain old boring, and no fun at all. We need something to play with and break We wake up each morning, just hoping for that 'miracle' on XDA.
New user here..... Just bought an Evo 4G that has Gingerbread on it... Kinda sucks!
Same here. On an epic now, got an evo yesterday with GB on it.

I agree, and you are so correct! This is not fun for me, as I just switched from Verizon w/ Droid X to Sprint w/ Evo 4G. I need my phone rooted!!!

Really....another thread about getting ROOT. This does not help and only clogs up the board with uselessness. There is a sticky at the top of the General section or posts just like this called: Off Topic Lounge.
Uh this stuff is what the general section is for as I have been reminded about myself

No, it is for general information about the evo, not to start a thread about praying for root. What does this post provide? Nothing.
Swyped from my Supersonic
My phone kicked the bucket so I had to call in insurance and I was forced to use gingerbread with the new bootloader and I came from cm7 running a tiamat sbc kernal, and its not stock sense that pisses me off (however I do prefer asop) but its the stock kernal the battery life is a joke I have the 3500 extended battery and I still need a bigger battery

I'm going crazy with my stock EVO.. I need root
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I dont feel sorry for the people who lost root by foolishly installing the OTA update. But I do pitty those who got a new EVO, refurb replacement, or switched carriers! That would blow. I'm surprised Unrevoked hasnt updated yet or something. No Root from the community after this long!?
Look you guys none of you know how to even start with rooting the htc Evo so don't go all like I can't believe there's no root yet.
2nd The devs don't owe you nothing. Their doing this on thier own free time, REMEMBER devs have lives like you people and jobs and a family.
I dummadly (coined) unrooed and ota'ed. Yet i await patiently

i got my phone brand new lil over a month ago, everyone said itd come with gingerbread on it.. after i bought it of course i find out its unrootable.. but surprise surprise it had 2.2 on it outta the box.. phew!
I am done waiting, I returned my phone for my MoPho (Mototola Photon 4G), and have rooted it WebTopless, (without a dock). Also, I hate the fact that the phone has such little internal storage, and I do miss Sense, but I have a Sense Launcher. I have a Front Facing Camera, and a kickstand.
I have an Otterbox Defender Case/Holster and now I have to mod it and add dust filters for the two microphones...

In this forum that's almost like a week
Trying to find the froyo Rom from last year, can't find it anywhere, any dev have this or a rockin theme for any gb rom? I could put some crap on here from the marketplace but it is what it is... It would be sweet if this sparked a devs interest, as I don't see any Christmas stuff in here this year... Any dev with some Christmas spirit, (as I don't have much this year) feel free to take over this thread;-) Maybe get some donation flow...
I was just searching forums to see if any Devs have posted a Christmas ROM. Glad you posted this idea. Hopefully someone does it. I kinda like an over the top Christmas theme for a few weeks. It's geeky fun. I used EVOZone's last year, but he's moved onto the EVO 3D.
Thanks and yeah I know, Hell I'd even sport froyo again just to have a real integrated Rom but I can't find any live links for it, hmmn... Maybe someone will actually read this that has more knowledge than I. Lol, I'm gonna have to start learning how to dev, damn it;-)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Perhaps Christmas themed cm7? There isn't alot of real over the top themed roms anymore... I miss the good old days of mikfroyo and warm twopointtwo

I have a little dilemma. I have had this my touch 4g for a while now and love it. I am currently rooted running ics on my phone. The fact that I am a flashaholic and it seems lately new things are coming out for this phone every week or so, makes it even better.
My girlfriend just got added to my plan so we ordered a HTC amaze 4g because it was free. And after looking at the amaze section it doesn't seem likes there's much going on.from what I read they are stuck on drivers. Yet the amaze it set to get the official ics update.
All that being said my girlfriend had a flip phone so anything is an upgrade for her. Which phone should I take and which one should I give to her.

I keep hearing that they have s-off on the Amaze, but it hasn't been released yet...but that's just what I read on here. I don't know it to be a fact. But I would probably take the Amaze if it were free, because I have found out recently that I don't prefer ICS. Not that I'm knocking mt4g, its still my favorite, but I feel like the Amaze will explode in development soon...

I thought the same thing but then I saw that there isn't even çm7 for the amaze which kind of made me worry about development. Thanks for your reply though
Sent from my My Touch 4G using XDA
Ive heard that the Amaze is a great phone, but time is ticking and the development window is getting smaller by the day. Without development going on currently, people will probably move to a new device sooner.
Just my two cents.
If you want a device for development, go for some thing else like sensation or upcoming one s. If you want a great device that works, go for the amaze.
I got the amaze for my girl and Im switching to it too.
Honestly, if you want great developer support and lots of ROM options, you should go with a Nexus. Be it a nexus S or the galaxy nexus. They tend to have the liveliest dev groups. however, if you are into sense ui, it might not be the best choice.
Forget everything. Go for the amaze. They have s-off.
Amaze is a beautiful powerhouse

The only thing I am worried about from taking the amaze is the battery life

Hell yes. Official ics. I'm grabbing me an amaze asap now. That's all I was waiting for. My girl already has the amaze, so I'm installing the official ruu as soon as I get home
I have been wondering why the Amaze had just about died before it ever lived...its just too nice of a handset to not be customized. Id absolutely rather have it than the OneS

+1 Word, never even considered the one series devices one bit. Long live AMAZE!
Guys im sure as hell no newbie to rooting my own personal phones , but tomorrow my sister is visiting me from Florida with her new Evo on a fresh sprint 2 year contact (yeah dont ask) but anyways she wants to root her phone to tether on WiMAX. Could you guys guide me to the right links on rooting her phone and tell me which rom will be a kick ass rom for her. Most likely that will be the ROM she'll stay with for the rest of her contract.
Searching old thread isn't my thing. I rather suscribe to my own thread.
Also is the rooting process hard? My EVO 3d was a pain in the ass.

It all depends on the software. If its on 2.2 froyo you would use unrevoked. If its on GB 2.3.3 you would use revolutionary.io and if its GB 2.3.5 you have to use HTC dev unlock. I recommend that you put tommytomatoes classic rom on her phone. Its 100% stable and fully working and has great community support

+2 on tommy's rom. Is under the new evo 4g original development section. As far as rooting go is pretty straight forward, just find out which android version she is running ( which might be 2.3.5 ), and go from there.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Depends on preference, Tommy's rom's great. but have some variants for her. also may just show her some rom's she'll most likely want gb for stability and best performance. also HTC Sense rom's lagg a bit in my opinion AOSP seems to lag less for me and run more in a operational fashion.
edit install rom manager on her device and keep her stock rooted tell her she can change the software via that app. screen shot's info and downloads all in one nice little user friendly app.
Thanks for the great info guys. I'll be working on her phone tonight.
Just to make sure, with these roms, she still be able to use the HDMI out on the phone?
