Rom manager flashing support.

I was wondering if the HD2 was close or would not be receiving full support from the Rom Manager app which im sure most of you have used. Great for flashing and downloading roms on the fly. Thanks!

Sorry to bring back an old post but I used the search button and this is the only one that came up. I was wondering pretty much the same question as above...I have Rom Manager installed and was going to do a backup current rom,but it asked to confirm phone model but of course ours is not listed....So should I just pick one of models listed or just stick to turning off the phone and booting up into CWM to backup?

Everyone from Team Douche says its not gonna happen, charansingh says he's working on it. It'll be quite the feat for us to get official CM support. I wouldnt hold your breath.
So in other words, boot into CWM to backup.

Thanks bro I was just wondering since a few roms ive tried came preinstalled with it.

CWM 3

Where can i find the newest version of CWM for Evo Shift so i can use EXT 4 roms etc..

Android Development -> Evervolv
preludedrew is the only dev currently pushing it, AFAIK.

Also if you don't want to flash to the latest CWM you can simply fast boot to it and keep your existing CWM, im not sure what the pros and cons are for either or. I gather so far some folks ROMS can only be installed via one or the other.

ok thanks.....so thers no real need for cwm 3 on the shift atm????

There is if you ever want to take advantage of ext4, that's not necessarily right now though, is it?
Like the user above stated, you could simply boot into it instead via fastboot. You can probably even get away with flashing the gingerbread roms on 2.x, but when mods start coming into play, you'll need to use 3.x for the script support.

Hopefully the wiki is kept up to date on all the options. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

cwm2.5 is currently the best option untill there is a fully working and compiled cwm3. once there is an official, 3 will be the way to go. most developers have been using the rom flashing scripts(called edify scripts) that can be used in both cwm3 and 2.5. id say just hold out till an official comes out unless your rom develeper specifically tell you to.

Addicted

Well, about 4 days have passed, and in those 4 days, I have rooted my phone, flashed a custom ROM, and been through about 5 different kernels. I am really enjoying this experience. I have done a few other things, like set up wireless tethering, and installed a custom boot animation, but I feel this is not enough lol. I am very eager to do more, but don't know what else to do.
What haven't I done that can be explored? Share your favorite things to do with your rooted Dinc!!!

Start flashing CM7 nightlies

I've been the same way ever since I got into the android platform.
You can get into themes and basically design an entire theme if you want.
I always seem to come back Redemption Roms though when I'm switching back and forth in between roms. I tried the CM7 but just always end up coming back.

You guys have any idea how I can get the trackball wake feature to work with skyraider 3.5? Do I need to download a zip file or what? I was told it came standard with skyraider, but it's not working for me

It is very addicting, I must say that I at one point flashed 4 roms in one day until I found the perfect one.
I've been flashing CM7 nightlies and I'm getting ready to flash CM7 RC2. Of all the ROMs that I have flashed I must say that I am not budging from CM7, it rocks.

Haven't flashed SR in a while. Check around in settings.

You can also try out 'Launcher Pro' (easy to switch back, just uninstall) from the market.
It's pretty sweet and I've been using it ever since I've downloaded it.

Flash more ROMs and try them out. I had SR3.5 for about a week after I first rooted my Incredible. I went to Warm 2.2 for a couple weeks and then I've been on CM7 since January 10 or so. Flashing a new ROM is like having a whole new phone.
I still have nights where I'll flash one or two different ROMs, completely set them up, and then decide I want to go back to CM7 and restore my backup. I'm definitely trying the Gingerbread version of MIUI when it comes out - the current version doesn't beat out CM7 in my opinion, but the next one might.

Unfamiliar to HTC

So I offered to help a co worker out since she is completely unfamilar with rooting or flashing. I'm more familiar with Moto and Samsung, never had an HTC so not sure how different it is but basically her Evo 4g has been acting very buggy. I think she is on Synergy RLS 1 and I want to put a more up to date, stable rom just not entirely sure how to go about it. This is the phone's info.
Model number PC36100
Android version 2.3.3
HTC Sense version 2.1
Software Number 2.76.651.4
PRI Version 1.52_003
PRL 03026 Kernel version 2.6.35.10-dodge kernel_v1.6-g5512dll-dirtydodge #6
Baseband 1.07.00.1129
Build number Synergy RLS 1
Browser version WebKit/533.1

The first thing I would suggest if she likes her synergy would be to reboot into recovery via holding down power button and selecting recovery, once in recover use volume rocker to navigate to wipe menu and select it with power button. Once in wipe menu navigate to cache and select it with power button to wipe and do the same for dalvik cache also. The navigate back to the reboot option. That should take care of her issues if its something that hasn't been done previously.
But if she's set on trying a new rom,
First thing is to find which ever rom you will be using and download that. Next hold the power button for power options and select recovery. When in recovery look for backup/restore. You need to do a current backup in case anything goes wrong when flashing a new rom. So after you have your backup your current nandroid, you navigate back to the wipe menu and wipe everything except SD card. Then navigate to flash menu and flash rom then navigate reboot device. That's the basics any way

Is it just me, or do these software versions look way wrong and/or old? So old, that I don't even remember them, and I've had my Evo since launch day. I'm hoping someone else will jump in to confirm or deny that the versions I'm seeing look way off.
Like the kernel, I've never even heard of that kernel. Where did she get it? Dirtydodge? Never seen that on xda. On synergy, I would recommend flashing the freedom or chop suey kernel (thru recovery, just whip cache and dalvik cache first). Or reflash synergy rls1 over itself wiping only cache and dalvik cache to restore the kernel that came with synergy rom initially.
PRL 03026? Never heard of it. Current sprint PRL for most is 60683. She should flash a stock sprint/HTC sense 1.0 ROM (I would suggest tommytomatoe Classic or brad560s stock ROM, both found in the Evo development forum) so that she can go to settings>update profile and PRL.
11.29 radio/baseband is froyo-era radio (Android 2.2), and also should be updated. Radio can be flashed thru hboot or recovery. Check thread by Calkulin for radios in the development forum. Flashing radios is touchy (you probably already know this), they appear to flash twice, but DO NOT PULL battery mid flash, just let it do its thing.
Her poor Evo needs so much maintenance I'm surprised it's functioning at all.
I would:
1. Reflash synergy over itself to get stablish again.
2. Update radio to 2.15.08.08 or 2.15.04.08
3. Select more current ROM to update to (there are many in dev section with dates attached)
4. Flash ROM
5. Go to settings and update Profile and PRL
6. Everything should be pretty up to date at this point.
7. Browse through dev forum to select ROM to settle on for daily driver (whether she wants to keep HTC/Sense or AOSP....All ICS roms for Evo are currently probably a bit too buggy for her [not for me, but to each their own]).
Newest Android version for HTC/sense ROM is 2.3.5. You'll want to probably be on 2.3.5, or at least 2.3.4. 2.3.5 fixed some issue with voice dialing while traveling over 35mph, or something like that...something I don't use.
Good luck. ......poor neglected Evo
Lol
******oh, and like THREESTRIPEBAND said, do a nandroid backup in recovery before doing anything.*******

dodge kernel is a kernel for the HTC Evo shift 4g i believe

That's not an evo 4g radio. As scottspa and evo4gnoob said, she may have the shift. If there's a slide out keyboard, it's the shift. If not, that's one of a kind haha

Thank you guys so much. You guys have a nice community compared to some of the ones I'm used to lol.
But that's what I've been trying to figure out. If she had an evo 4g or a evo 4g shift. She had gotten the phone from a friend of a friend and is completely new to android so she had no idea what the phone was. She kept called it an HTC. Anyways I googled the model number on from her phone info and the evo 4g kept popping up but yeah it does have a keyboard. So completely wrong forum lol thanks guys again for steering me in the right direction.

Sprint Samsung S4 upgrade to 4.4

I'm still on a stock rooted 4.2.2 Rom and I need to upgrade to 4.4
I've really had no issues with the touchwiz and I'm running the KM kernel, but from what I was told I need to unroot to get 4.4. I don't know if that's true or not, but seeing as you don't have that many touchwiz roms here maybe I should go with ASOP instead? I was looking at the master list of roms but are the roms carrier dependent?

but from what I was told I need to unroot to get 4.4.

You can update your phone through settings (as long as you didn't mess with system files and apps) but you will definitely lose root and get knox.

Yes, roms are carrier dependent (with the exception of CM11 nightly builds, which are now unified across all carriers, the rest provide separate builds for different carriers)

My phone is rooted but running the stock rom, when it came time to upgrade it would not upgrade at all, I forgot what it would hang at but it ended not doing anything, so getting tired of seeing the upgrade was ready to be installed I hid the message.
But now I need the upgrade because of Google Wallet and tap & pay.
So as far as getting another rom I assume I should be just looking under my carries forum here instead of the master list? Now having said that.. OK say I find a ASOP with 4.2 can I just use that instead of unrooting and then doing the update?
In other words installing a custom ASOP rom would still get me on 4.2 as well?

It depends on what version of android the rom features. CM11 for example is a 4.4 KitKat rom so if you install CM11 you would have 4.4 AOSP rom that is close to the original AOSP rom you would find on Google devices.

For some reason I can't boot my phone into recovery.. I'm holding vol up, home and power and I see it saying booting recovery in the upper left but if I keep holding the buttons the screen and the phone just turns back off again.
*edit
I just noticed I use TWRP Recovery so I think I have to start it from the phone being on.
Well this is odd.. OK so I moved the zip file to the root of the SD card and looking at the recovery and it's not listed under the root of the SD card.. I don't get it.
Oh never mind forgot the setting to switch to SD card
